90bf361cea ntp: Introduce and use SECS_PER_DAY macro instead of 86400
Currently the leapsecond logic uses what looks like magic values.

Improve this by defining SECS_PER_DAY and using that macro
to make the logic more clear.

d151832650 time: Move clock_was_set_seq update before updating shadow-timekeeper
It was reported that 868a3e915f7f5eba (hrtimer: Make offset
update smarter) was causing timer problems after suspend/resume.

The problem with that change is the modification to
clock_was_set_seq in timekeeping_update is done prior to
mirroring the time state to the shadow-timekeeper. Thus the
next time we do update_wall_time() the updated sequence is
overwritten by whats in the shadow copy.

This patch moves the shadow-timekeeper mirroring to the end
of the function, after all updates have been made, so all data
is kept in sync.

(This patch also affects the update_fast_timekeeper calls which
were also problematically done prior to the mirroring).

6374f9124e timekeeping: Provide new API to get the current time resolution
This patch series introduces a new function
u32 ktime_get_resolution_ns(void)
which allows to clean up some driver code.

In particular the IIO subsystem has a function to provide timestamps for
events but no means to get their resolution. So currently the dht11 driver
tries to guess the resolution in a rather messy and convoluted way. We
can do much better with the new code.

This API is not designed to be exposed to user space.

This has been tested on i386, sunxi and mxs.

d25408756a clockevents: Stop unused clockevent devices
To avoid getting spurious interrupts on a tickless CPU, clockevent
device can now be stopped by switching to ONESHOT_STOPPED state.

The natural place for handling this transition is tick_program_event().

On 'expires == KTIME_MAX', we skip programming the event and so we need
to fix such call sites as well, to always call tick_program_event()
irrespective of the expires value.

Once the clockevent device is required again, check if it was earlier
put into ONESHOT_STOPPED state. If yes, switch its state to ONESHOT
before programming its event.

To make sure we haven't missed any corner case, add a WARN() for the
case where we try to reprogram clockevent device while we aren't
configured in ONESHOT_STOPPED state.

8fff52fd50 clockevents: Introduce CLOCK_EVT_STATE_ONESHOT_STOPPED state
When no timers/hrtimers are pending, the expiry time is set to a
special value: 'KTIME_MAX'. This normally happens with
NO_HZ_{IDLE|FULL} in both LOWRES/HIGHRES modes.

When 'expiry == KTIME_MAX', we either cancel the 'tick-sched' hrtimer
(NOHZ_MODE_HIGHRES) or skip reprogramming clockevent device
(NOHZ_MODE_LOWRES).  But, the clockevent device is already
reprogrammed from the tick-handler for next tick.

As the clock event device is programmed in ONESHOT mode it will at
least fire one more time (unnecessarily). Timers on few
implementations (like arm_arch_timer, etc.) only support PERIODIC mode
and their drivers emulate ONESHOT over that. Which means that on these
platforms we will get spurious interrupts periodically (at last
programmed interval rate, normally tick rate).

In order to avoid spurious interrupts, the clockevent device should be
stopped or its interrupts should be masked.

A simple (yet hacky) solution to get this fixed could be: update
hrtimer_force_reprogram() to always reprogram clockevent device and
update clockevent drivers to STOP generating events (or delay it to
max time) when 'expires' is set to KTIME_MAX. But the drawback here is
that every clockevent driver has to be hacked for this particular case
and its very easy for new ones to miss this.

However, Thomas suggested to add an optional state ONESHOT_STOPPED to
solve this problem: lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/9/508.

This patch adds support for ONESHOT_STOPPED state in clockevents
core. It will only be available to drivers that implement the
state-specific callbacks instead of the legacy ->set_mode() callback.

f7bcb70eba ktime: Fix ktime_divns to do signed division
It was noted that the 32bit implementation of ktime_divns()
was doing unsigned division and didn't properly handle
negative values.

And when a ktime helper was changed to utilize
ktime_divns, it caused a regression on some IR blasters.
See the following bugzilla for details:
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1200353

This patch fixes the problem in ktime_divns by checking
and preserving the sign bit, and then reapplying it if
appropriate after the division, it also changes the return
type to a s64 to make it more obvious this is expected.

Nicolas also pointed out that negative dividers would
cause infinite loops on 32bit systems, negative dividers
is unlikely for users of this function, but out of caution
this patch adds checks for negative dividers for both
32-bit (BUG_ON) and 64-bit(WARN_ON) versions to make sure
no such use cases creep in.

7110744516 sched, timer: Use the atomic task_cputime in thread_group_cputimer
Recent optimizations were made to thread_group_cputimer to improve its
scalability by keeping track of cputime stats without a lock. However,
the values were open coded to the structure, causing them to be at
a different abstraction level from the regular task_cputime structure.
Furthermore, any subsequent similar optimizations would not be able to
share the new code, since they are specific to thread_group_cputimer.

This patch adds the new task_cputime_atomic data structure (introduced in
the previous patch in the series) to thread_group_cputimer for keeping
track of the cputime atomically, which also helps generalize the code.

1018016c70 sched, timer: Replace spinlocks with atomics in thread_group_cputimer(), to improve scalability
While running a database workload, we found a scalability issue with itimers.

Much of the problem was caused by the thread_group_cputimer spinlock.
Each time we account for group system/user time, we need to obtain a
thread_group_cputimer's spinlock to update the timers. On larger systems
(such as a 16 socket machine), this caused more than 30% of total time
spent trying to obtain this kernel lock to update these group timer stats.

This patch converts the timers to 64-bit atomic variables and use
atomic add to update them without a lock. With this patch, the percent
of total time spent updating thread group cputimer timers was reduced
from 30% down to less than 1%.

Note: On 32-bit systems using the generic 64-bit atomics, this causes
sample_group_cputimer() to take locks 3 times instead of just 1 time.
However, we tested this patch on a 32-bit system ARM system using the
generic atomics and did not find the overhead to be much of an issue.
An explanation for why this isn't an issue is that 32-bit systems usually
have small numbers of CPUs, and cacheline contention from extra spinlocks
called periodically is not really apparent on smaller systems.

6b442bc813 nohz: Fix !HIGH_RES_TIMERS hang
Simon Horman reported this crash on a system with
high-res timers disabled but nohz enabled:

  > ------------[ cut here ]------------
  > kernel BUG at kernel/irq_work.c:135!

    BUG_ON(!irqs_disabled());

So something enabled interrupts in the periodic tick handling machinery,
and that code path indeed has a local_irq_disable()/enable pair in
tick_nohz_switch_to_nohz() which causes havoc. Fix it.

This patch also fixes a +nohz -hrtimers hang reported by Ingo Molnar.

38d23a6cc1 tick: hrtimer-broadcast: Prevent endless restarting when broadcast device is unused
The hrtimer callback in the hrtimer's tick broadcast code sometimes
incorrectly ends up scheduling events at the current tick causing the
kernel to hang servicing the same hrtimer forever. This typically
happens when a device is swapped out by
tick_install_broadcast_device(), which replaces the event handler with
clock_events_handle_noop() and sets the device mode to
CLOCK_EVT_MODE_UNUSED. If the timer is scheduled when this happens,
the next_event field will not be updated and the hrtimer ends up being
restarted at the current tick. To prevent this from happening, only
try to restart the hrtimer if the broadcast clock event device is in
one of the active modes and try to cancel the timer when entering the
CLOCK_EVT_MODE_UNUSED mode.

Today the number of bits of the broadcast masks that is output into

with a larger number of CPUs, the bitmasks of CPUs beyond this range do
not appear.

Fix this by using bitmap printing through "%*pb" instead, so as to

With the removal of the hrtimer softirq the switch to highres/nohz
mode happens in the tick interrupt. That leads to a livelock when the

under broadcast lock because broadcast lock needs to be taken for the

149aabcc44 clockevents: Shutdown detached clockevent device
A clockevent device is marked DETACHED when it is replaced by another
clockevent device.

The device is shutdown properly for drivers that implement legacy
->set_mode() callback, as we call ->set_mode() for CLOCK_EVT_MODE_UNUSED
as well.

But for the new per-state callback interface, we skip shutting down the
device, as we thought its an internal state change. That wasn't correct.

The effect is that the device is left programmed in oneshot or periodic
mode.

Fall-back to 'case CLOCK_EVT_STATE_SHUTDOWN', to shutdown the device.

5de2755c8c hrtimer: Allow concurrent hrtimer_start() for self restarting timers
Because we drop cpu_base->lock around calling hrtimer::function, it is
possible for hrtimer_start() to come in between and enqueue the timer.

If hrtimer::function then returns HRTIMER_RESTART we'll hit the BUG_ON
because HRTIMER_STATE_ENQUEUED will be set.

Since the above is a perfectly valid scenario, remove the BUG_ON and
make the enqueue_hrtimer() call conditional on the timer not being
enqueued already.

NOTE: in that concurrent scenario its entirely common for both sites
to want to modify the hrtimer, since hrtimers don't provide
serialization themselves be sure to provide some such that the
hrtimer::function and the hrtimer_start() caller don't both try and
fudge the expiration state at the same time.

To that effect, add a WARN when someone tries to forward an already
enqueued timer, the most common way to change the expiry of self
restarting timers. Ideally we'd put the WARN in everything modifying
the expiry but most of that is inlines and we don't need the bloat.

19d9f4225d hrtimer: Avoid locking in hrtimer_cancel() if timer not active
We can do a lockless check for hrtimer_active before actually taking
the lock in hrtimer[_try_to]_cancel. This is useful for hotpath users
like nanosleep as they avoid the lock dance when the timer has
expired.

This is safe because active is true when the timer is enqueued or the
callback is running. Taking the hrtimer base lock does not protect
against concurrent hrtimer_start calls, the callsite has to do the
proper serialization itself.

c1ad348b45 tick: Nohz: Rework next timer evaluation
The evaluation of the next timer in the nohz code is based on jiffies
while all the tick internals are nano seconds based. We have also to
convert hrtimer nanoseconds to jiffies in the !highres case. That's
just wrong and introduces interesting corner cases.

Turn it around and convert the next timer wheel timer expiry and the
rcu event to clock monotonic and base all calculations on
nanoseconds. That identifies the case where no timer is pending
clearly with an absolute expiry value of KTIME_MAX.

Makes the code more readable and gets rid of the jiffies magic in the
nohz code.
