Impact: Use new APIs

Convert kernel/time functions to use struct cpumask *.

Note the ugly bitmap declarations in tick-broadcast.c.  These should
be cpumask_var_t, but there was no obvious initialization function to
put the alloc_cpumask_var() calls in.  This was safe.

(Eventually 'struct cpumask' will be undefined for CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK,
so we use a bitmap here to show we really mean it).

79741dd357 [PATCH] idle cputime accounting
The cpu time spent by the idle process actually doing something is
currently accounted as idle time. This is plain wrong, the architectures
that support VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=y can do better: distinguish between the
time spent doing nothing and the time spent by idle doing work. The first
is accounted with account_idle_time and the second with account_system_time.
The architectures that use the account_xxx_time interface directly and not
the account_xxx_ticks interface now need to do the check for the idle
process in their arch code. In particular to improve the system vs true
idle time accounting the arch code needs to measure the true idle time
instead of just testing for the idle process.
To improve the tick based accounting as well we would need an architecture
primitive that can tell us if the pt_regs of the interrupted context
points to the magic instruction that halts the cpu.

In addition idle time is no more added to the stime of the idle process.
This field now contains the system time of the idle process as it should
be. On systems without VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING this will always be zero as
every tick that occurs while idle is running will be accounted as idle
time.

This patch contains the necessary common code changes to be able to
distinguish idle system time and true idle time. The architectures with
support for VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING need some changes to exploit this.

457533a7d3 [PATCH] fix scaled & unscaled cputime accounting
The utimescaled / stimescaled fields in the task structure and the
global cpustat should be set on all architectures. On s390 the calls
to account_user_time_scaled and account_system_time_scaled never have
been added. In addition system time that is accounted as guest time
to the user time of a process is accounted to the scaled system time
instead of the scaled user time.
To fix the bugs and to prevent future forgetfulness this patch merges
account_system_time_scaled into account_system_time and
account_user_time_scaled into account_user_time.

Not much point with gentle transition here: the struct irq_chip's
setaffinity method signature needs to change.

Fortunately, not widely used code, but hits a few architectures.

Note: In irq_select_affinity() I save a temporary in by mangling
irq_desc[irq].affinity directly.  Ingo, does this break anything?

001474491f nohz: suppress needless timer reprogramming
In my device I get many interrupts from a high speed USB device in a very
short period of time.  The system spends a lot of time reprogramming the
hardware timer which is in a slower timing domain as compared to the CPU. 
This results in the CPU spending a huge amount of time waiting for the
timer posting to be done.  All of this reprogramming is useless as the
wake up time has not changed.

As measured using ETM trace this drops my reprogramming penalty from
almost 60% CPU load down to 15% during high interrupt rate.  I can send
traces to show this.

Suppress setting of duplicate timer event when timer already stopped. 
Timer programming can be very costly and can result in long cpu stall/wait
times.

fa116ea35e nohz: no softirq pending warnings for offline cpus
Impact: remove false positive warning

After a cpu was taken down during cpu hotplug (read: disabled for interrupts)
it still might have pending softirqs. However take_cpu_down makes sure
that the idle task will run next instead of ksoftirqd on the taken down cpu.
The idle task will call tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick which might warn about
pending softirqs just before the cpu kills itself completely.

However the pending softirqs on the dead cpu aren't a problem because they
will be moved to an online cpu during CPU_DEAD handling.

So make sure we warn only for online cpus.

6c9bacb41c time: catch xtime_nsec underflows and fix them
Impact: fix time warp bug

Alex Shi, along with Yanmin Zhang have been noticing occasional time
inconsistencies recently. Through their great diagnosis, they found that
the xtime_nsec value used in update_wall_time was occasionally going
negative. After looking through the code for awhile, I realized we have
the possibility for an underflow when three conditions are met in
update_wall_time():

  1) We have accumulated a second's worth of nanoseconds, so we
     incremented xtime.tv_sec and appropriately decrement xtime_nsec.
     (This doesn't cause xtime_nsec to go negative, but it can cause it
      to be small).

  2) The remaining offset value is large, but just slightly less then
     cycle_interval.

  3) clocksource_adjust() is speeding up the clock, causing a
     corrective amount (compensating for the increase in the multiplier
     being multiplied against the unaccumulated offset value) to be
     subtracted from xtime_nsec.

This can cause xtime_nsec to underflow.

Unfortunately, since we notify the NTP subsystem via second_overflow()
whenever we accumulate a full second, and this effects the error
accumulation that has already occured, we cannot simply revert the
accumulated second from xtime nor move the second accumulation to after
the clocksource_adjust call without a change in behavior.

This leaves us with (at least) two options:

1) Simply return from clocksource_adjust() without making a change if we
   notice the adjustment would cause xtime_nsec to go negative.

This would work, but I'm concerned that if a large adjustment was needed
(due to the error being large), it may be possible to get stuck with an
ever increasing error that becomes too large to correct (since it may
always force xtime_nsec negative). This may just be paranoia on my part.

2) Catch xtime_nsec if it is negative, then add back the amount its
   negative to both xtime_nsec and the error.

This second method is consistent with how we've handled earlier rounding
issues, and also has the benefit that the error being added is always in
the oposite direction also always equal or smaller then the correction
being applied. So the risk of a corner case where things get out of
control is lessened.

ca109491f6 hrtimer: removing all ur callback modes
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 :-)

commit fb02fbc14d (NOHZ: restart tick

While the patch is correct it does not take into account that spurious

revert to the .27 behaviour and let long running softirqs screw
themself.

c4bd822e7b NOHZ: fix thinko in the timer restart code path
commit fb02fbc14d (NOHZ: restart tick
device from irq_enter())

solves the problem of stale jiffies when long running softirqs happen
in a long idle sleep period, but it has a major thinko in it:

When the interrupt which came in _is_ the timer interrupt which should
expire ts->sched_timer then we cancel and rearm the timer _before_ it
gets expired in hrtimer_interrupt() to the next period. That means the
call back function is not called. This game can go on for ever :(

Prevent this by making sure to only rearm the timer when the expiry
time is more than one tick_period away. Otherwise keep it running as
it is either already expired or will expiry at the right point to
update jiffies.

fb02fbc14d NOHZ: restart tick device from irq_enter()
We did not restart the tick device from irq_enter() to avoid double
reprogramming and extra events in the return immediate to idle case.

But long lasting softirqs can lead to a situation where jiffies become
stale:

idle()
  tick stopped (reprogrammed to next pending timer)
  halt()
   interrupt
     jiffies updated from irq_enter()
     interrupt handler
     softirq function 1 runs 20ms
     softirq function 2 arms a 10ms timer with a stale jiffies value
     jiffies updated from irq_exit()
     timer wheel has now an already expired timer
     (the one added in function 2)
     timer fires and timer softirq runs

This was discovered when debugging a timer problem which happend only
when the ath5k driver is active. The debugging proved that there is a
softirq function running for more than 20ms, which is a bug by itself.

To solve this we restart the tick timer right from irq_enter(), but do
not go through the other functions which are necessary to return from
idle when need_resched() is set.

9ba16087d9 Kconfig: eliminate "def_bool n" constructs
Using "def_bool n" is pointless, simply using bool here appears more
appropriate.

Further, retaining such options that don't have a prompt and aren't
selected by anything seems also at least questionable.

07454bfff1 clockevents: check broadcast tick device not the clock events device
Impact: jiffies increment too fast.

Hugh Dickins noted that with NOHZ=n and HIGHRES=n jiffies get
incremented too fast. The reason is a wrong check in the broadcast
enter/exit code, which keeps the local apic timer in periodic mode
when the switch happens.

ccc7dadf73 hrtimer: prevent migration of per CPU hrtimers
Impact: per CPU hrtimers can be migrated from a dead CPU

The hrtimer code has no knowledge about per CPU timers, but we need to
prevent the migration of such timers and warn when such a timer is
active at migration time.

Explicitely mark the timers as per CPU and use a more understandable
mode descriptor for the interrupts safe unlocked callback mode, which
is used by hrtimer_sleeper and the scheduler code.

d40e944c25 ntp: improve adjtimex frequency rounding
Change PPM_SCALE_INV_SHIFT so that it doesn't throw away any input bits
(19 is the amount of the factor 2 in PPM_SCALE), the output frequency
can then be calculated back to its input value, as the inverse divide
produce a slightly larger value, which is then correctly rounded by the
final shift.

5cd1c9c5cf timekeeping: fix rounding problem during clock update
Due to a rounding problem during a clock update it's possible for readers
to observe the clock jumping back by 1nsec.  The following simplified
example demonstrates the problem:

cycle	xtime
0	0
1000	999999.6
2000	1999999.2
3000	2999998.8
...

1500 =	1499999.4
=	0.0 + 1499999.4
=	999999.6 + 499999.8

When reading the clock only the full nanosecond part is used, while
timekeeping internally keeps nanosecond fractions.  If the clock is now
updated at cycle 1500 here, a nanosecond is missing due to the truncation.

The simple fix is to round up the xtime value during the update, this also
changes the distance to the reference time, but the adjustment will
automatically take care that it stays under control.

27ce4cb4a0 clockevents: prevent mode mismatch on cpu online
Impact: timer hang on CPU online observed on AMD C1E systems

When a CPU is brought online then the broadcast machinery can
be in the one shot state already. Check this and setup the timer 
device of the new CPU in one shot mode so the broadcast code
can pick up the next_event value correctly.

Another AMD C1E oddity, as we switch to broadcast immediately and
not after the full bring up via the ACPI cpu idle code.

302745699c clockevents: check broadcast device not tick device
Impact: Possible hang on CPU online observed on AMD C1E machines.

The broadcast setup code looks at the mode of the tick device to
determine whether it needs to be shut down or setup. This is wrong
when the broadcast mode is set to one shot already. This can happen
when a CPU is brought online as it goes through the periodic setup
first.

The problem went unnoticed as sane systems do not call into that code
before the switch to one shot for the clock event device happens.
The AMD C1E idle routine switches over immediately and thereby shuts
down the just setup device before the first interrupt happens.

Impact: possible hang on CPU onlining in timer one shot mode.

The tick_next_period variable is only used during boot on nohz/highres
enabled systems, but for CPU onlining it needs to be maintained when
the per cpu clock events device operates in one shot mode.

6441402b1f clockevents: prevent cpu online to interfere with nohz
Impact: rare hang which can be triggered on CPU online.

tick_do_timer_cpu keeps track of the CPU which updates jiffies
via do_timer. The value -1 is used to signal, that currently no
CPU is doing this. There are two cases, where the variable can 
have this state:

 boot:
    necessary for systems where the boot cpu id can be != 0

 nohz long idle sleep:
    When the CPU which did the jiffies update last goes into
    a long idle sleep it drops the update jiffies duty so
    another CPU which is not idle can pick it up and keep
    jiffies going.

Using the same value for both situations is wrong, as the CPU online
code can see the -1 state when the timer of the newly onlined CPU is
setup. The setup for a newly onlined CPU goes through periodic mode
and can pick up the do_timer duty without being aware of the nohz /
highres mode of the already running system.

Use two separate states and make them constants to avoid magic
numbers confusion.

2344abbcbd clockevents: make device shutdown robust
The device shut down does not cleanup the next_event variable of the
clock event device. So when the device is reactivated the possible
stale next_event value can prevent the device to be reprogrammed as it
claims to wait on a event already.

This is the root cause of the resurfacing suspend/resume problem,
where systems need key press to come back to life.

Fix this by setting next_event to KTIME_MAX when the device is shut
down. Use a separate function for shutdown which takes care of that
and only keep the direct set mode call in the broadcast code, where we
can not touch the next_event value.

61c22c34c6 clockevents: remove WARN_ON which was used to gather information
The issue of the endless reprogramming loop due to a too small
min_delta_ns was fixed with the previous updates of the clock events
code, but we had no information about the spread of this problem. I
added a WARN_ON to get automated information via kerneloops.org and to
get some direct reports, which allowed me to analyse the affected
machines.

The WARN_ON has served its purpose and would be annoying for a release
kernel. Remove it and just keep the information about the increase of
the min_delta_ns value.
