2009-01-30hrtimer: prevent negative expiry value after clock_was_set()Thomas Gleixner
Impact: prevent false positive WARN_ON() in clockevents_program_event() clock_was_set() changes the base->offset of CLOCK_REALTIME and enforces the reprogramming of the clockevent device to expire timers which are based on CLOCK_REALTIME. If the clock change is large enough then the subtraction of the timer expiry value and base->offset can become negative which triggers the warning in clockevents_program_event(). Check the subtraction result and set a negative value to 0. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2009-01-30hrtimers: allow the hot-unplugging of all cpusSebastien Dugue
Impact: fix CPU hotplug hang on Power6 testbox On architectures that support offlining all cpus (at least powerpc/pseries), hot-unpluging the tick_do_timer_cpu can result in a system hang. This comes from the fact that if the cpu going down happens to be the cpu doing the tick, then as the tick_do_timer_cpu handover happens after the cpu is dead (via the CPU_DEAD notification), we're left without ticks, jiffies are frozen and any task relying on timers (msleep, ...) is stuck. That's particularly the case for the cpu looping in __cpu_die() waiting for the dying cpu to be dead. This patch addresses this by having the tick_do_timer_cpu handover happen earlier during the CPU_DYING notification. For this, a new clockevent notification type is introduced (CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_CPU_DYING) which is triggered in hrtimer_cpu_notify().

2009-01-30hrtimers: increase clock min delta threshold while interrupt hangingFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: avoid timer IRQ hanging slow systems While using the function graph tracer on a virtualized system, the hrtimer_interrupt can hang the system on an infinite loop. This can be caused in several situations: - the hardware is very slow and HZ is set too high - something intrusive is slowing the system down (tracing under emulation) ... and the next clock events to program are always before the current time. This patch implements a reasonable compromise: if such a situation is detected, we share the CPUs time in 1/4 to process the hrtimer interrupts. This is enough to let the system running without serious starvation. It has been successfully tested under VirtualBox with 1000 HZ and 100 HZ with function graph tracer launched. On both cases, the clock events were increased until about 25 ms periodic ticks, which means 40 HZ. So we change a hard to debug hang into a warning message and a system that still manages to limp along.

Add a debug check to test this theory. If it triggers then it triggers because the resume code calls it with irqs enabled, which is a no-no not just for timekeeping_resume(), but also bad for a number of other resume handlers.

2008-11-25hrtimer: removing all ur callback modesPeter Zijlstra
Impact: cleanup, move all hrtimer processing into hardirq context This is an attempt at removing some of the hrtimer complexity by reducing the number of callback modes to 1. This means that all hrtimer callback functions will be ran from HARD-irq context. I went through all the 30 odd hrtimer callback functions in the kernel and saw only one that I'm not quite sure of, which is the one in net/can/bcm.c - hence I'm CC-ing the folks responsible for that code. Furthermore, the hrtimer core now calls callbacks directly with IRQs disabled in case you try to enqueue an expired timer. If this timer is a periodic timer (which should use hrtimer_forward() to advance its time) then it might be possible to end up in an inf. recursive loop due to the fact that hrtimer_forward() doesn't round up to the next timer granularity, and therefore keeps on calling the callback - obviously this needs a fix. Aside from that, this seems to compile and actually boot on my dual core test box - although I'm sure there are some bugs in, me not hitting any makes me certain :-) Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-11-11timers: handle HRTIMER_CB_IRQSAFE_UNLOCKED correctly from softirq contextGautham R Shenoy
Impact: fix incorrect locking triggered during hotplug-intense stress-tests While migrating the the CB_IRQSAFE_UNLOCKED timers during a cpu-offline, we queue them on the cb_pending list, so that they won't go stale. Thus, when the callbacks of the timers run from the softirq context, they could run into potential deadlocks, since these callbacks assume that they're running with irq's disabled, thereby annoying lockdep! Fix this by emulating hardirq context while running these callbacks from the hrtimer softirq. ================================= [ INFO: inconsistent lock state ] 2.6.27 #2 -------------------------------- inconsistent {in-hardirq-W} -> {hardirq-on-W} usage. ksoftirqd/0/4 [HC0[0]:SC1[1]:HE1:SE0] takes: (&rq->lock){++..}, at: [<c011db84>] sched_rt_period_timer+0x9e/0x1fc {in-hardirq-W} state was registered at: [<c014103c>] __lock_acquire+0x549/0x121e [<c0107890>] native_sched_clock+0x88/0x99 [<c013aa12>] clocksource_get_next+0x39/0x3f [<c0139abc>] update_wall_time+0x616/0x7df [<c0141d6b>] lock_acquire+0x5a/0x74 [<c0121724>] scheduler_tick+0x3a/0x18d [<c047ed45>] _spin_lock+0x1c/0x45 [<c0121724>] scheduler_tick+0x3a/0x18d [<c0121724>] scheduler_tick+0x3a/0x18d [<c012c436>] update_process_times+0x3a/0x44 [<c013c044>] tick_periodic+0x63/0x6d [<c013c062>] tick_handle_periodic+0x14/0x5e [<c010568c>] timer_interrupt+0x44/0x4a [<c0150c9f>] handle_IRQ_event+0x13/0x3d [<c0151c14>] handle_level_irq+0x79/0xbd [<c0105634>] do_IRQ+0x69/0x7d [<c01041e4>] common_interrupt+0x28/0x30 [<c047007b>] aac_probe_one+0x1a3/0x3f3 [<c047ec2d>] _spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x36/0x39 [<c01512b4>] setup_irq+0x1be/0x1f9 [<c065d70b>] start_kernel+0x259/0x2c5 [<ffffffff>] 0xffffffff irq event stamp: 50102 hardirqs last enabled at (50102): [<c047ebf4>] _spin_unlock_irq+0x20/0x23 hardirqs last disabled at (50101): [<c047edc2>] _spin_lock_irq+0xa/0x4b softirqs last enabled at (50088): [<c0128ba6>] do_softirq+0x37/0x4d softirqs last disabled at (50099): [<c0128ba6>] do_softirq+0x37/0x4d other info that might help us debug this: no locks held by ksoftirqd/0/4. stack backtrace: Pid: 4, comm: ksoftirqd/0 Not tainted 2.6.27 #2 [<c013f6cb>] print_usage_bug+0x13e/0x147 [<c013fef5>] mark_lock+0x493/0x797 [<c01410b1>] __lock_acquire+0x5be/0x121e [<c0141d6b>] lock_acquire+0x5a/0x74 [<c011db84>] sched_rt_period_timer+0x9e/0x1fc [<c047ed45>] _spin_lock+0x1c/0x45 [<c011db84>] sched_rt_period_timer+0x9e/0x1fc [<c011db84>] sched_rt_period_timer+0x9e/0x1fc [<c01210fd>] finish_task_switch+0x41/0xbd [<c0107890>] native_sched_clock+0x88/0x99 [<c011dae6>] sched_rt_period_timer+0x0/0x1fc [<c0136dda>] run_hrtimer_pending+0x54/0xe5 [<c011dae6>] sched_rt_period_timer+0x0/0x1fc [<c0128afb>] __do_softirq+0x7b/0xef [<c0128ba6>] do_softirq+0x37/0x4d [<c0128c12>] ksoftirqd+0x56/0xc5 [<c0128bbc>] ksoftirqd+0x0/0xc5 [<c0134649>] kthread+0x38/0x5d [<c0134611>] kthread+0x0/0x5d [<c0104477>] kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10 ======================= Signed-off-by: Gautham R Shenoy <ego@in.ibm.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: "Paul E.

Impact: Stale timers after a CPU went offline. commit 37bb6cb4097e29ffee970065b74499cbf10603a3 hrtimer: unlock hrtimer_wakeup changed the hrtimer sleeper callback mode to CB_IRQSAFE_NO_SOFTIRQ due to locking problems. A result of this change is that when enqueue is called for an already expired hrtimer the callback function is not longer called directly from the enqueue code. The normal callers have been fixed in the code, but the migration code which moves hrtimers from a dead CPU to a live CPU was not made aware of this. This can be fixed by checking the timer state after the call to enqueue in the migration code. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

2008-09-11hrtimer: peek at the timer queue just before going idleArjan van de Ven
As part of going idle, we already look at the time of the next timer event to determine which C-state to select etc. This patch adds functionality that causes the timers that are past their soft expire time, to fire at this time, before we calculate the next wakeup time. This functionality will thus avoid wakeups by running timers before going idle rather than specially waking up for it. Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com>
2008-09-11hrtimer: make the nanosleep() syscall use the per process slackArjan van de Ven

2008-09-07hrtimer: add a hrtimer_start_range() functionArjan van de Ven

2008-09-05hrtimer: turn hrtimers into range timersArjan van de Ven
this patch turns hrtimers into range timers; they have 2 expire points 1) the soft expire point 2) the hard expire point the kernel will do it's regular best effort attempt to get the timer run at the hard expire point. However, if some other time fires after the soft expire point, the kernel now has the freedom to fire this timer at this point, and thus grouping the events and preventing a power-expensive wakeup in the future.

2008-09-05hrtimer: convert kernel/* to the new hrtimer apisArjan van de Ven

2008-07-03hrtimer: prevent migration for raising softirqSteven Rostedt
Due to a possible deadlock, the waking of the softirq was pushed outside of the hrtimer base locks. See commit 0c96c5979a522c3323c30a078a70120e29b5bdbc Unfortunately this allows the task to migrate after setting up the softirq and raising it. Since softirqs run a queue that is per-cpu we may raise the softirq on the wrong CPU and this will keep the queued softirq task from running. To solve this issue, this patch disables preemption around the releasing of the hrtimer lock and raising of the softirq.

2008-05-26hrtimer: remove warning in hres_timers_resumeJeremy Fitzhardinge
hres_timers_resume() warns if there appears to be more than one cpu online. This warning makes sense when the suspend/resume mechanism offlines all cpus but one during the suspend/resume process. However, Xen suspend does not need to offline the other cpus; it merely keeps them tied up in stop_machine() while the virtual machine is suspended. The warning hres_timers_resume issues is therefore spurious. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com> Cc: xen-devel <xen-devel@lists.xensource.com> Cc: "Rafael J.

2008-05-25Remove argument from open_softirq which is always NULLCarlos R. Mafra
As git-grep shows, open_softirq() is always called with the last argument being NULL block/blk-core.c: open_softirq(BLOCK_SOFTIRQ, blk_done_softirq, NULL); kernel/hrtimer.c: open_softirq(HRTIMER_SOFTIRQ, run_hrtimer_softirq, NULL); kernel/rcuclassic.c: open_softirq(RCU_SOFTIRQ, rcu_process_callbacks, NULL); kernel/rcupreempt.c: open_softirq(RCU_SOFTIRQ, rcu_process_callbacks, NULL); kernel/sched.c: open_softirq(SCHED_SOFTIRQ, run_rebalance_domains, NULL); kernel/softirq.c: open_softirq(TASKLET_SOFTIRQ, tasklet_action, NULL); kernel/softirq.c: open_softirq(HI_SOFTIRQ, tasklet_hi_action, NULL); kernel/timer.c: open_softirq(TIMER_SOFTIRQ, run_timer_softirq, NULL); net/core/dev.c: open_softirq(NET_TX_SOFTIRQ, net_tx_action, NULL); net/core/dev.c: open_softirq(NET_RX_SOFTIRQ, net_rx_action, NULL); This observation has already been made by Matthew Wilcox in June 2002 (http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/linux/linux-kernel/2002-25/0687.html) "I notice that none of the current softirq routines use the data element passed to them." and the situation hasn't changed since them.
