The logarithmic accumulation done in the timekeeping has some overflow
protection that limits the max shift value. That means it will take
more then shift loops to accumulate all of the cycles. This causes
the shift decrement to underflow, which causes the loop to never exit.
The simplest fix would be simply to do a:
if (shift)
shift--;
However that is not optimal, as we know the cycle offset is larger
then the interval << shift, the above would make shift drop to zero,
then we would be spinning for quite awhile accumulating at interval
chunks at a time.
Instead, this patch only decreases shift if the offset is smaller
then cycle_interval << shift. This makes sure we accumulate using
the largest chunks possible without overflowing tick_length, and limits
the number of iterations through the loop.
This issue was found and reported by Sonic Zhang, who also tested the fix.
Many thanks your explanation and testing!

The current logic which handles clock events programming failures can
increase min_delta_ns unlimited and even can cause overflows.
Sanitize it by:
- prevent zero increase when min_delta_ns == 1
- limiting min_delta_ns to a jiffie
- bail out if the jiffie limit is hit
- add retries stats for /proc/timer_list so we can gather data

Aaro Koskinen reported an issue in kernel.org bugzilla #15366, where
on non-GENERIC_TIME systems, accessing
/sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource
results in an oops.
It seems the timekeeper/clocksource rework missed initializing the
curr_clocksource value in the !GENERIC_TIME case.
Thanks to Aaro for reporting and diagnosing the issue as well as
testing the fix!

Add a clocksource suspend callback. This callback can be used by the
clocksource driver to shutdown and perform any kind of late suspend
activities even though the clocksource driver itself is a non-sysdev
driver.
One example where this is useful is to fix the sh_cmt.c platform driver
that today suspends using the platform bus and shuts down the clocksource
too early.
With this callback in place the sh_cmt driver will suspend using the
clocksource and clockevent hooks and leave the platform device pm
callbacks unused.

commit 0f8e8ef7 (clocksource: Simplify clocksource watchdog resume
logic) introduced a potential kgdb dead lock. When the kernel is
stopped by kgdb inside code which holds watchdog_lock then kgdb dead
locks in clocksource_resume_watchdog().
clocksource_resume_watchdog() is called from kbdg via
clocksource_touch_watchdog() to avoid that the clock source watchdog
marks TSC unstable after the kernel has been stopped.
Solve this by replacing spin_lock with a spin_trylock and just return
in case the lock is held. Not resetting the watchdog might result in
TSC becoming marked unstable, but that's an acceptable penalty for
using kgdb.
The timekeeping is anyway easily screwed up by kgdb when the system
uses either jiffies or a clock source which wraps in short intervals
(e.g. pm_timer wraps about every 4.6s), so we really do not have to
worry about that occasional TSC marked unstable side effect.
The second caller of clocksource_resume_watchdog() is
clocksource_resume(). The trylock is safe here as well because the
system is UP at this point, interrupts are disabled and nothing else
can hold watchdog_lock().

Marc reported that the BUG_ON in clockevents_notify() triggers on his
system. This happens because the kernel tries to remove an active
clock event device (used for broadcasting) from the device list.
The handling of devices which can be used as per cpu device and as a
global broadcast device is suboptimal.
The simplest solution for now (and for stable) is to check whether the
device is used as global broadcast device, but this needs to be
revisited.

This reverts commit 7bc7d637452383d56ba4368d4336b0dde1bb476d, as
requested by John Stultz. Quoting John:
"Petr Titěra reported an issue where he saw odd atime regressions with
2.6.33 where there were a full second worth of nanoseconds in the
nanoseconds field.
He also reviewed the time code and narrowed down the problem: unhandled
overflow of the nanosecond field caused by rounding up the
sub-nanosecond accumulated time.
Details:
* At the end of update_wall_time(), we currently round up the
sub-nanosecond portion of accumulated time when storing it into xtime.
This was added to avoid time inconsistencies caused when the
sub-nanosecond portion was truncated when storing into xtime.
Unfortunately we don't handle the possible second overflow caused by
that rounding.
* Previously the xtime_cache code hid this overflow by normalizing the
xtime value when storing into the xtime_cache.
* We could try to handle the second overflow after the rounding up, but
since this affects the timekeeping's internal state, this would further
complicate the next accumulation cycle, causing small errors in ntp
steering. As much as I'd like to get rid of it, the xtime_cache code is
known to work.
* The correct fix is really to include the sub-nanosecond portion in the
timekeeping accessor function, so we don't need to round up at during
accumulation. This would greatly simplify the accumulation code.
Unfortunately, we can't do this safely until the last three
non-GENERIC_TIME arches (sparc32, arm, cris) are converted (those
patches are in -mm) and we kill off the spots where arches set xtime
directly. This is all 2.6.34 material, so I think reverting the
xtime_cache change is the best approach for now.
Many thanks to Petr for both reporting and finding the issue!"

Xiaotian Feng triggered a list corruption in the clock events list on
CPU hotplug and debugged the root cause.
If a CPU registers more than one per cpu clock event device, then only
the active clock event device is removed on CPU_DEAD. The unused
devices are kept in the clock events device list.
On CPU up the clock event devices are registered again, which means
that we list_add an already enqueued list_head. That results in list
corruption.
Resolve this by removing all devices which are associated to the dead
CPU on CPU_DEAD.

The hrtimer_interrupt hang logic adjusts min_delta_ns based on the
execution time of the hrtimer callbacks.
This is error-prone for virtual machines, where a guest vcpu can be
scheduled out during the execution of the callbacks (and the callbacks
themselves can do operations that translate to blocking operations in
the hypervisor), which in can lead to large min_delta_ns rendering the
system unusable.
Replace the current heuristics with something more reliable. Allow the
interrupt code to try 3 times to catch up with the lost time. If that
fails use the total time spent in the interrupt handler to defer the
next timer interrupt so the system can catch up with other things
which got delayed. Limit that deferment to 100ms.
The retry events and the maximum time spent in the interrupt handler
are recorded and exposed via /proc/timer_list
Inspired by a patch from Marcelo.

This causes user space observerable time warps:

In the dynamic tick code, "max_delta_ns" (member of the
"clock_event_device" structure) represents the maximum sleep time
that can occur between timer events in nanoseconds.
The variable, "max_delta_ns", is defined as an unsigned long
which is a 32-bit integer for 32-bit machines and a 64-bit
integer for 64-bit machines (if -m64 option is used for gcc).
The value of max_delta_ns is set by calling the function
"clockevent_delta2ns()" which returns a maximum value of LONG_MAX.
For a 32-bit machine LONG_MAX is equal to 0x7fffffff and in
nanoseconds this equates to ~2.15 seconds. Hence, the maximum
sleep time for a 32-bit machine is ~2.15 seconds, where as for
a 64-bit machine it will be many years.
This patch changes the type of max_delta_ns to be "u64" instead of
"unsigned long" so that this variable is a 64-bit type for both 32-bit
and 64-bit machines. It also changes the maximum value returned by
clockevent_delta2ns() to KTIME_MAX. Hence this allows a 32-bit
machine to sleep for longer than ~2.15 seconds. Please note that this
patch also changes "min_delta_ns" to be "u64" too and although this is
unnecessary, it makes the patch simpler as it avoids to fixup all
callers of clockevent_delta2ns().

The dynamic tick allows the kernel to sleep for periods longer than a
single tick, but it does not limit the sleep time currently. In the
worst case the kernel could sleep longer than the wrap around time of
the time keeping clock source which would result in losing track of
time.
Prevent this by limiting it to the safe maximum sleep time of the
current time keeping clock source. The value is calculated when the
clock source is registered.

MIPS has two functions to calculcate the mult/shift factors for clock
sources and clock events at run time. ARM needs such functions as
well.
Implement a function which calculates the mult/shift factors based on
the frequencies to which and from which is converted. The function
also has a parameter to specify the minimum conversion range in
seconds. This range is guaranteed not to produce a 64bit overflow when
a value is multiplied with the calculated mult factor. The larger the
conversion range the less becomes the conversion accuracy.
Provide two inline wrappers which handle clock events and clock
sources. For clock events the "from" frequency is nano seconds per
second which corresponds to 1GHz and "to" is the device frequency. For
clock sources "from" is the device frequency and "to" is nano seconds
per second.

from those of clock sources for no reason. u32 is sufficient for
both. shift is always <= 32 and mult is limited to 2^32-1 to avoid

On a system with NOHZ=y tick_check_idle calls tick_nohz_stop_idle and
tick_nohz_update_jiffies. Given the right conditions (ts->idle_active
and/or ts->tick_stopped) both function get a time stamp with ktime_get.
The same time stamp can be reused if both function require one.
On s390 this change has the additional benefit that gcc inlines the
tick_nohz_stop_idle function into tick_check_idle. The number of
instructions to execute tick_check_idle drops from 225 to 144

This patch updates percpu related symbols under kernel/ and mm/ such
that percpu symbols are unique and don't clash with local symbols.
This serves two purposes of decreasing the possibility of global
percpu symbol collision and allowing dropping per_cpu__ prefix from
percpu symbols.

After m68k's task_thread_info() doesn't refer to current,
it's possible to remove sched.h from interrupt.h and not break m68k!
Many thanks to Heiko Carstens for allowing this.

Commit f2e21c9610991e95621a81407cdbab881226419b had unfortunate side
effects with cpufreq governors on some systems.
If the system did not switch into NOHZ mode ts->inidle is not set when
tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() is called from the idle routine. Therefor
all subsequent calls from irq_exit() to tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick()
fail to call tick_nohz_start_idle(). This results in bogus idle
accounting information which is passed to cpufreq governors.
Set the inidle flag unconditionally of the NOHZ active state to keep
the idle time accounting correct in any case.

With the prior logarithmic time accumulation patch, xtime will now
always be within one "tick" of the current time, instead of
possibly half a second off.
This removes the need for the xtime_cache value, which always
stored the time at the last interrupt, so this patch cleans that up
removing the xtime_cache related code.
This is a bit simpler, but still could use some wider testing.

Accumulating one tick at a time works well unless we're using NOHZ.
Then it can be an issue, since we may have to run through the loop
a few thousand times, which can increase timer interrupt caused
latency.
The current solution was to accumulate in half-second intervals
with NOHZ. This kept the number of loops down, however it did
slightly change how we make NTP adjustments. While not an issue
with NTPd users, as NTPd makes adjustments over a longer period of
time, other adjtimex() users have noticed the half-second
granularity with which we can apply frequency changes to the clock.
For instance, if a application tries to apply a 100ppm frequency
correction for 20ms to correct a 2us offset, with NOHZ they either
get no correction, or a 50us correction.
Now, there will always be some granularity error for applying
frequency corrections. However with users sensitive to this error
have seen a 50-500x increase with NOHZ compared to running without
NOHZ.
So I figured I'd try another approach then just simply increasing
the interval. My approach is to consume the time interval
logarithmically. This reduces the number of times through the loop
needed keeping latency down, while still preserving the original
granularity error for adjtimex() changes.
Further, this change allows us to remove the xtime_cache code
(patch to follow), as xtime is always within one tick of the
current time, instead of the half-second updates it saw before.
An earlier version of this patch has been shipping to x86 users in
the RedHat MRG releases for awhile without issue, but I've reworked
this version to be even more careful about avoiding possible
overflows if the shift value gets too large.

clocksource_resume is called early in the resume process, there is
only one cpu, no processes are running and the interrupts are
disabled. It is therefore possible to resume the clocksources
without taking the clocksource mutex.

universal use
There are many similar code in kernel for one object: convert time between
calendar time and broken-down time.
Here is some source I found:
fs/ncpfs/dir.c
fs/smbfs/proc.c
fs/fat/misc.c
fs/udf/udftime.c
fs/cifs/netmisc.c
net/netfilter/xt_time.c
drivers/scsi/ips.c
drivers/input/misc/hp_sdc_rtc.c
drivers/rtc/rtc-lib.c
arch/ia64/hp/sim/boot/fw-emu.c
arch/m68k/mac/misc.c
arch/powerpc/kernel/time.c
arch/parisc/include/asm/rtc.h
...
We can make a common function for this type of conversion, At least we
can get following benefit:
1: Make kernel simple and unify
2: Easy to fix bug in converting code
3: Reduce clone of code in future
For example, I'm trying to make ftrace display walltime,
this patch will make me easy.
This code is based on code from glibc-2.6

The down rating of clock sources in the early boot process via the
clock source watchdog mechanism can happen way before the per cpu
event queues are initialized. This leads to a boot crash on x86 when
the TSC is marked unstable in the SMP bring up.
The selection of a clock source for time keeping happens in the late
boot process so we can safely delay the list manipulation until
clocksource_done_booting() is called.
