2010-10-28hrtimer: Preserve timer state in remove_hrtimer()Salman Qazi
commit f13d4f979c518119bba5439dd2364d76d31dcd3f upstream. The race is described as follows: CPU X CPU Y remove_hrtimer // state & QUEUED == 0 timer->state = CALLBACK unlock timer base timer->f(n) //very long hrtimer_start lock timer base remove_hrtimer // no effect hrtimer_enqueue timer->state = CALLBACK | QUEUED unlock timer base hrtimer_start lock timer base remove_hrtimer mode = INACTIVE // CALLBACK bit lost! switch_hrtimer_base CALLBACK bit not set: timer->base changes to a different CPU. lock this CPU's timer base The bug was introduced with commit ca109491f (hrtimer: removing all ur callback modes) in 2.6.29 [ tglx: Feed new state via local variable and add a comment. ] Signed-off-by: Salman Qazi <sqazi@google.com> Cc: akpm@linux-foundation.org Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> LKML-Reference: <20101012142351.8485.21823.stgit@dungbeetle.mtv.corp.google.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2010-04-01hrtimer: Tune hrtimer_interrupt hang logicThomas Gleixner
commit 41d2e494937715d3150e5c75d01f0e75ae899337 upstream. 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.

2009-09-15hrtimer: Eliminate needless reprogramming of clock events deviceAshwin Chaugule
On NOHZ systems the following timers, - tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick (tick_sched_timer) - hrtimer_start (tick_sched_timer) are reprogramming the clock events device far more often than needed. No specific test case was required to observe this effect. This occurres because there was no check to see if the currently removed or restarted hrtimer was: 1) the one which previously armed the clock events device. 2) going to be replaced by another timer which has the same expiry time. Avoid the reprogramming in hrtimer_force_reprogram when the new expiry value which is evaluated from the clock bases is equal to cpu_base->expires_next. This results in faster application startup time by ~4%.

2009-07-10hrtimer: Fix migration expiry checkThomas Gleixner
The timer migration expiry check should prevent the migration of a timer to another CPU when the timer expires before the next event is scheduled on the other CPU. Migrating the timer might delay it because we can not reprogram the clock event device on the other CPU. But the code implementing that check has two flaws: - for !HIGHRES the check compares the expiry value with the clock events device expiry value which is wrong for CLOCK_REALTIME based timers. - the check is racy. It holds the hrtimer base lock of the target CPU, but the clock event device expiry value can be modified nevertheless, e.g. by an timer interrupt firing. The !HIGHRES case is easy to fix as we can enqueue the timer on the cpu which was selected by the load balancer. It runs the idle balancing code once per jiffy anyway. So the maximum delay for the timer is the same as when we keep the tick on the current cpu going. In the HIGHRES case we can get the next expiry value from the hrtimer cpu_base of the target CPU and serialize the update with the cpu_base lock. This moves the lock section in hrtimer_interrupt() so we can set next_event to KTIME_MAX while we are handling the expired timers and set it to the next expiry value after we handled the timers under the base lock. While the expired timers are processed timer migration is blocked because the expiry time of the timer is always <= KTIME_MAX. Also remove the now useless clockevents_get_next_event() function.

2009-07-10hrtimer: migration: do not check expiry time on current CPUThomas Gleixner
The timer migration code needs to check whether the expiry time of the timer is before the programmed clock event expiry time when the timer is enqueued on another CPU because we can not reprogram the timer device on the other CPU. The current logic checks the expiry time even if we enqueue on the current CPU when nohz_get_load_balancer() returns current CPU. This might lead to an endless loop in the expiry check code when the expiry time of the timer is before the current programmed next event. Check whether nohz_get_load_balancer() returns current CPU and skip the expiry check if this is the case. The bug was triggered from the networking code.

2009-07-07timekeeping: optimized ktime_get[_ts] for GENERIC_TIME=yMartin Schwidefsky
The generic ktime_get function defined in kernel/hrtimer.c is suboptimial for GENERIC_TIME=y: 0) | ktime_get() { 0) | ktime_get_ts() { 0) | getnstimeofday() { 0) | read_tod_clock() { 0) 0.601 us | } 0) 1.938 us | } 0) | set_normalized_timespec() { 0) 0.602 us | } 0) 4.375 us | } 0) 5.523 us | } Overall there are two read_seqbegin/read_seqretry loops and a lot of unnecessary struct timespec calculations. ktime_get returns a nano second value which is the sum of xtime, wall_to_monotonic and the nano second delta from the clock source. ktime_get can be optimized for GENERIC_TIME=y. The new version only calls clocksource_read: 0) | ktime_get() { 0) | read_tod_clock() { 0) 0.610 us | } 0) 1.977 us | } It uses a single read_seqbegin/readseqretry loop and just adds everthing to a nano second value. ktime_get_ts is optimized in a similar fashion.

2009-05-13timers: Logic to move non pinned timersArun R Bharadwaj
* Arun R Bharadwaj <arun@linux.vnet.ibm.com> [2009-04-16 12:11:36]: This patch migrates all non pinned timers and hrtimers to the current idle load balancer, from all the idle CPUs. Timers firing on busy CPUs are not migrated. While migrating hrtimers, care should be taken to check if migrating a hrtimer would result in a latency or not. So we compare the expiry of the hrtimer with the next timer interrupt on the target cpu and migrate the hrtimer only if it expires *after* the next interrupt on the target cpu. So, added a clockevents_get_next_event() helper function to return the next_event on the target cpu's clock_event_device.

2009-05-13timers: Framework for identifying pinned timersArun R Bharadwaj
* Arun R Bharadwaj <arun@linux.vnet.ibm.com> [2009-04-16 12:11:36]: This patch creates a new framework for identifying cpu-pinned timers and hrtimers. This framework is needed because pinned timers are expected to fire on the same CPU on which they are queued. So it is essential to identify these and not migrate them, in case there are any. For regular timers, the currently existing add_timer_on() can be used queue pinned timers and subsequently mod_timer_pinned() can be used to modify the 'expires' field. For hrtimers, new modes HRTIMER_ABS_PINNED and HRTIMER_REL_PINNED are added to queue cpu-pinned hrtimer.

2009-03-31hrtimer: fix rq->lock inversion (again)Peter Zijlstra
It appears I inadvertly introduced rq->lock recursion to the hrtimer_start() path when I delegated running already expired timers to softirq context. This patch fixes it by introducing a __hrtimer_start_range_ns() method that will not use raise_softirq_irqoff() but __raise_softirq_irqoff() which avoids the wakeup. It then also changes schedule() to check for pending softirqs and do the wakeup then, I'm not quite sure I like this last bit, nor am I convinced its really needed.

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.

2008-09-29hrtimer: prevent migration of per CPU hrtimersThomas Gleixner
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.

2008-09-29hrtimer: mark migration stateThomas Gleixner
Impact: during migration active hrtimers can be seen as inactive The migration code removes the hrtimers from the queues of the dead CPU and sets the state temporary to INACTIVE. The enqueue code sets it to ACTIVE/PENDING again. Prevent that the wrong state can be seen by using a separate migration state bit. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
