clocksource: Avoid selecting mult values that might overflow when adjusted

2011-11-10T19:27:08Z

For some frequencies, the clocks_calc_mult_shift() function will unfortunately select mult values very close to 0xffffffff. This has the potential to overflow when NTP adjusts the clock, adding to the mult value. This patch adds a clocksource.maxadj value, which provides an approximation of an 11% adjustment(NTP limits adjustments to 500ppm and the tick adjustment is limited to 10%), which could be made to the clocksource.mult value. This is then used to both check that the current mult value won't overflow/underflow, as well as warning us if the timekeeping_adjust() code pushes over that 11% boundary. v2: Fix max_adjustment calculation, and improve WARN_ONCE messages. v3: Don't warn before maxadj has actually been set CC: Yong Zhang CC: David Daney CC: Thomas Gleixner CC: Chen Jie CC: zhangfx CC: stable@kernel.org Reported-by: Chen Jie Reported-by: zhangfx Tested-by: Yong Zhang Signed-off-by: John Stultz

clocksource: Make watchdog reset lockless

2011-09-13T07:58:29Z

KGDB needs to trylock watchdog_lock when trying to reset the clocksource watchdog after the system has been stopped to avoid a potential deadlock. When the trylock fails TSC usually becomes unstable. We can be more clever by using an atomic counter and checking it in the clocksource_watchdog callback. We restart the watchdog whenever the counter is > 0 and only decrement the counter when we ran through a full update cycle.

clocksource: Make watchdog robust vs. interruption

2011-06-16T17:30:53Z

The clocksource watchdog code is interruptible and it has been observed that this can trigger false positives which disable the TSC. The reason is that an interrupt storm or a long running interrupt handler between the read of the watchdog source and the read of the TSC brings the two far enough apart that the delta is larger than the unstable treshold. Move both reads into a short interrupt disabled region to avoid that. Reported-and-tested-by: Vernon Mauery Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Cc: stable@kernel.org

clocksource: Get rid of the hardcoded 5 seconds sleep time limit

2011-05-19T12:24:15Z

Slow clocksources can have a way longer sleep time than 5 seconds and even fast ones can easily cope with 600 seconds and still maintain proper accuracy.

clocksource: Install completely before selecting

2011-05-05T13:23:26Z

Christian Hoffmann reported that the command line clocksource override with acpi_pm timer fails: Kernel command line: clocksource=acpi_pm hpet clockevent registered Switching to clocksource hpet Override clocksource acpi_pm is not HRT compatible. Cannot switch while in HRT/NOHZ mode. The watchdog code is what enables CLOCK_SOURCE_VALID_FOR_HRES, but we actually end up selecting the clocksource before we enqueue it into the watchdog list, so that's why we see the warning and fail to switch to acpi_pm timer as requested. That's particularly bad when we want to debug timekeeping related problems in early boot. Put the selection call last.
