2013-05-07clockevents: Set dummy handler on CPU_DEAD shutdownThomas Gleixner
commit 6f7a05d7018de222e40ca003721037a530979974 upstream. Vitaliy reported that a per cpu HPET timer interrupt crashes the system during hibernation. What happens is that the per cpu HPET timer gets shut down when the nonboot cpus are stopped. When the nonboot cpus are onlined again the HPET code sets up the MSI interrupt which fires before the clock event device is registered. The event handler is still set to hrtimer_interrupt, which then crashes the machine due to highres mode not being active. See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=700333 There is no real good way to avoid that in the HPET code. The HPET code alrady has a mechanism to detect spurious interrupts when event handler == NULL for a similar reason. We can handle that in the clockevent/tick layer and replace the previous functional handler with a dummy handler like we do in tick_setup_new_device(). The original clockevents code did this in clockevents_exchange_device(), but that got removed by commit 7c1e76897 (clockevents: prevent clockevent event_handler ending up handler_noop) which forgot to fix it up in tick_shutdown(). Same issue with the broadcast device.

2013-03-07clockevents: Don't allow dummy broadcast timersMark Rutland
Currently tick_check_broadcast_device doesn't reject clock_event_devices with CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_DUMMY, and may select them in preference to real hardware if they have a higher rating value. In this situation, the dummy timer is responsible for broadcasting to itself, and the core clockevents code may attempt to call non-existent callbacks for programming the dummy, eventually leading to a panic. This patch makes tick_check_broadcast_device always reject dummy timers, preventing this problem.

2013-02-12clockevents: Fix generic broadcast for FEAT_C3STOPMark Rutland
Commit 12ad100046: "clockevents: Add generic timer broadcast function" made tick_device_uses_broadcast set up the generic broadcast function for dummy devices (where !tick_device_is_functional(dev)), but neglected to set up the broadcast function for devices that stop in low power states (with the CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_C3STOP flag). When these devices enter low power states they will not have the generic broadcast function assigned, and will bring down the system when an attempt is made to broadcast to them. This patch ensures that the broadcast function is also assigned for devices which require broadcast in low power states.

Currently, the timer broadcast mechanism is defined by a function pointer on struct clock_event_device. As the fundamental mechanism for broadcast is architecture-specific, this means that clock_event_device drivers cannot be shared across multiple architectures. This patch adds an (optional) architecture-specific function for timer tick broadcast, allowing drivers which may require broadcast functionality to be shared across multiple architectures.

Currently the broadcast mechanism used for timers is abstracted by a function pointer on struct clock_event_device. As the fundamental mechanism for broadcast is architecture-specific, this ties each clock_event_device driver to a single architecture, even where the driver is otherwise generic.

2012-04-19tick: Fix the spurious broadcast timer ticks after resumeSuresh Siddha
During resume, tick_resume_broadcast() programs the broadcast timer in oneshot mode unconditionally. On the platforms where broadcast timer is not really required, this will generate spurious broadcast timer ticks upon resume. For example, on the always running apic timer platforms with HPET, I see spurious hpet tick once every ~5minutes (which is the 32-bit hpet counter wraparound time). Similar to boot time, during resume make the oneshot mode setting of the broadcast clock event device conditional on the state of active broadcast users.

2012-04-19tick: Ensure that the broadcast device is initializedThomas Gleixner
Santosh found another trap when we avoid to initialize the broadcast device in the switch_to_oneshot code. The broadcast device might be still in SHUTDOWN state when we actually need to use it. That obviously breaks, as set_next_event() is called on a shutdown device. This did not break on x86, but Suresh analyzed it: From the review, most likely on Sven's system we are force enabling the hpet using the pci quirk's method very late. And in this case, hpet_clockevent (which will be global_clock_event) handler can be null, specifically as this platform might not be using deeper c-states and using the reliable APIC timer. Prior to commit 'fa4da365bc7772c', that handler will be set to 'tick_handle_oneshot_broadcast' when we switch the broadcast timer to oneshot mode, even though we don't use it. Post commit 'fa4da365bc7772c', we stopped switching the broadcast mode to oneshot as this is not really needed and his platform's global_clock_event's handler will remain null. While on my SNB laptop, same is set to 'clockevents_handle_noop' because hpet gets enabled very early. (noop handler on my platform set when the early enabled hpet timer gets replaced by the lapic timer). But the commit 'fa4da365bc7772c' tracked the broadcast timer mode in the SW as oneshot, even though it didn't touch the HW timer. During resume however, tick_resume_broadcast() saw the SW broadcast mode as oneshot and actually programmed the broadcast device also into oneshot mode. So this triggered the null pointer de-reference after the hpet wraps around and depending on what the hpet counter is set to. On the normal platforms where hpet gets enabled early we should be seeing a spurious interrupt (in my SNB laptop I see one spurious interrupt after around 5 minutes ;) which is 32-bit hpet counter wraparound time), but that's a separate issue. Enforce the mode setting when trying to set an event.

2012-04-18tick: Fix oneshot broadcast setup reallyThomas Gleixner
Sven Joachim reported, that suspend/resume on rc3 trips over a NULL pointer dereference. Linus spotted the clockevent handler being NULL. commit fa4da365b(clockevents: tTack broadcast device mode change in tick_broadcast_switch_to_oneshot()) tried to fix a problem with the broadcast device setup, which was introduced in commit 77b0d60c5( clockevents: Leave the broadcast device in shutdown mode when not needed). The initial commit avoided to set up the broadcast device when no broadcast request bits were set, but that left the broadcast device disfunctional. In consequence deep idle states which need the broadcast device were not woken up. commit fa4da365b tried to fix that by initializing the state of the broadcast facility, but that missed the fact, that nothing initializes the event handler and some other state of the underlying clock event device. The fix is to revert both commits and make only the mode setting of the clock event device conditional on the state of active broadcast users. That initializes everything except the low level device mode, but this happens when the broadcast functionality is invoked by deep idle.

tick_broadcast_switch_to_oneshot() In the commit 77b0d60c5adf39c74039e2142a1d3cd1e4d53799, "clockevents: Leave the broadcast device in shutdown mode when not needed", we were bailing out too quickly in tick_broadcast_switch_to_oneshot(), with out tracking the broadcast device mode change to 'TICKDEV_MODE_ONESHOT'. This breaks the platforms which need broadcast device oneshot services during deep idle states. tick_broadcast_oneshot_control() thinks that it is in periodic mode and fails to take proper decisions based on the CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_[ENTER, EXIT] notifications during deep idle entry/exit. Fix this by tracking the broadcast device mode as 'TICKDEV_MODE_ONESHOT', before leaving the broadcast HW device in shutdown mode if there are no active requests for the moment.

Platforms with Always Running APIC Timer doesn't use the broadcast timer but the kernel is leaving the broadcast timer (HPET in this case) in oneshot mode. On these platforms, before the switch to oneshot mode, broadcast device is actually in shutdown mode. Code checks for empty tick_broadcast_mask and avoids going into the periodic mode. During switch to oneshot mode, add the same tick_broadcast_mask checks in the tick_broadcast_switch_to_oneshot() and avoid the broadcast device going into the oneshot mode.

2011-09-08clockevents: Make minimum delay adjustments configurableMartin Schwidefsky
The automatic increase of the min_delta_ns of a clockevents device should be done in the clockevents code as the minimum delay is an attribute of the clockevents device. In addition not all architectures want the automatic adjustment, on a massively virtualized system it can happen that the programming of a clock event fails several times in a row because the virtual cpu has been rescheduled quickly enough. In that case the minimum delay will erroneously be increased with no way back. The new config symbol GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS_MIN_ADJUST is used to enable the automatic adjustment. The config option is selected only for x86.

2011-05-16tick: Clear broadcast active bit when switching to oneshotThomas Gleixner
The first cpu which switches from periodic to oneshot mode switches also the broadcast device into oneshot mode. The broadcast device serves as a backup for per cpu timers which stop in deeper C-states. To avoid starvation of the cpus which might be in idle and depend on broadcast mode it marks the other cpus as broadcast active and sets the brodcast expiry value of those cpus to the next tick. The oneshot mode broadcast bit for the other cpus is sticky and gets only cleared when those cpus exit idle. If a cpu was not idle while the bit got set in consequence the bit prevents that the broadcast device is armed on behalf of that cpu when it enters idle for the first time after it switched to oneshot mode. In most cases that goes unnoticed as one of the other cpus has usually a timer pending which keeps the broadcast device armed with a short timeout. Now if the only cpu which has a short timer active has the bit set then the broadcast device will not be armed on behalf of that cpu and will fire way after the expected timer expiry. In the case of Christians bug report it took ~145 seconds which is about half of the wrap around time of HPET (the limit for that device) due to the fact that all other cpus had no timers armed which expired before the 145 seconds timeframe. The solution is simply to clear the broadcast active bit unconditionally when a cpu switches to oneshot mode after the first cpu switched the broadcast device over. It's not idle at that point otherwise it would not be executing that code. [ I fundamentally hate that broadcast crap. Why the heck thought some folks that when going into deep idle it's a brilliant concept to switch off the last device which brings the cpu back from that state? ] Thanks to Christian for providing all the valuable debug information!

2009-08-19clockevent: Prevent dead lock on clockevents_lockSuresh Siddha
Currently clockevents_notify() is called with interrupts enabled at some places and interrupts disabled at some other places. This results in a deadlock in this scenario. cpu A holds clockevents_lock in clockevents_notify() with irqs enabled cpu B waits for clockevents_lock in clockevents_notify() with irqs disabled cpu C doing set_mtrr() which will try to rendezvous of all the cpus. This will result in C and A come to the rendezvous point and waiting for B. B is stuck forever waiting for the spinlock and thus not reaching the rendezvous point. Fix the clockevents code so that clockevents_lock is taken with interrupts disabled and thus avoid the above deadlock. Also call lapic_timer_propagate_broadcast() on the destination cpu so that we avoid calling smp_call_function() in the clockevents notifier chain. This issue left us wondering if we need to change the MTRR rendezvous logic to use stop machine logic (instead of smp_call_function) or add a check in spinlock debug code to see if there are other spinlocks which gets taken under both interrupts enabled/disabled conditions.

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

The debugging proved that there is a softirq function running for more than 20ms, which is a bug by itself.

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. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2008-09-16clockevents: make device shutdown robustThomas Gleixner
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.

The C1E/HPET bug reports on AMDX2/RS690 systems where tracked down to a too small value of the HPET minumum delta for programming an event. The clockevents code needs to enforce an interrupt event on the clock event device in some cases. The enforcement code was stupid and naive, as it just added the minimum delta to the current time and tried to reprogram the device. When the minimum delta is too small, then this loops forever. Add a sanity check. Allow reprogramming to fail 3 times, then print a warning and double the minimum delta value to make sure, that this does not happen again.

2008-09-05clockevents: prevent multiple init/shutdownThomas Gleixner
While chasing the C1E/HPET bugreports I went through the clock events code inch by inch and found that the broadcast device can be initialized and shutdown multiple times. Multiple shutdowns are not critical, but useless waste of time. Multiple initializations are simply broken. Another CPU might have the device in use already after the first initialization and the second init could just render it unusable again.

2008-09-05clockevents: prevent endless loop in periodic broadcast handlerThomas Gleixner
The reprogramming of the periodic broadcast handler was broken, when the first programming returned -ETIME. The clockevents code stores the new expiry value in the clock events device next_event field only when the programming time has not been elapsed yet. The loop in question calculates the new expiry value from the next_event value and therefor never increases.

2008-07-08x86, clockevents: add C1E aware idle functionThomas Gleixner
C1E on AMD machines is like C3 but without control from the OS. Up to now we disabled the local apic timer for those machines as it stops when the CPU goes into C1E. This excludes those machines from high resolution timers / dynamic ticks, which hurts especially X2 based laptops. The current boot time C1E detection has another, more serious flaw as well: some BIOSes do not enable C1E until the ACPI processor module is loaded. This causes systems to stop working after that point. To work nicely with C1E enabled machines we use a separate idle function, which checks on idle entry whether C1E was enabled in the Interrupt Pending Message MSR. This allows us to do timer broadcasting for C1E and covers the late enablement of C1E as well. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

I generally dislike adding optional linux/* includes in asm/* includes - I'm nervous about this causing include loops. However, there's a separate point to be discussed here. That is, what interfaces are expected of every architecture in the kernel. If generic code wants to be able to set the affinity of interrupts, then that needs to become part of the interfaces listed in linux/interrupt.h rather than linux/irq.h. So what I suggest is this approach instead (against Linus' tree of a couple of days ago) - we move irq_set_affinity() and irq_can_set_affinity() to linux/interrupt.h, change the linux/irq.h includes to linux/interrupt.h and include asm/irq_regs.h where needed (asm/irq_regs.h is supposed to be rarely used include since not much touches the stacked parent context registers.) Build tested on ARM PXA family kernels and ARM's Realview platform kernels which both use genirq.

2007-12-18clockevents: fix reprogramming decision in oneshot broadcastThomas Gleixner
Resolve the following regression of a choppy, almost unusable laptop: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/12/7/299 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9525 A previous version of the code did the reprogramming of the broadcast device in the return from idle code. This was removed, but the logic in tick_handle_oneshot_broadcast() was kept the same. When a broadcast interrupt happens we signal the expiry to all CPUs which have an expired event. If none of the CPUs has an expired event, which can happen in dyntick mode, then we reprogram the broadcast device. We do not reprogram otherwise, but this is only correct if all CPUs, which are in the idle broadcast state have been woken up. The code ignores, that there might be pending not yet expired events on other CPUs, which are in the idle broadcast state. So the delivery of those events can be delayed for quite a time. Change the tick_handle_oneshot_broadcast() function to check for CPUs, which are in broadcast state and are not woken up by the current event, and enforce the rearming of the broadcast device for those CPUs.

2007-10-14clockevents: introduce force broadcast notifierThomas Gleixner
The 64bit SMP bootup is slightly different to the 32bit one. It enables the boot CPU local APIC timer before all CPUs are brought up. Some AMD C1E systems have the C1E feature flag only set in the secondary CPU. Due to the early enable of the boot CPU local APIC timer the APIC timer is registered as a fully functional device. When we detect the wreckage during the bringup of the secondary CPU, we need to force the boot CPU into broadcast mode. Add a new notifier reason and implement the force broadcast in the clock events layer. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

2007-09-22clockevents: remove the suspend/resume workaround^WthinkoThomas Gleixner
In a desparate attempt to fix the suspend/resume problem on Andrews VAIO I added a workaround which enforced the broadcast of the oneshot timer on resume. This was actually resolving the problem on the VAIO but was just a stupid workaround, which was not tackling the root cause: the assignement of lower idle C-States in the ACPI processor_idle code. The cpuidle patches, which utilize the dynamic tick feature and go faster into deeper C-states exposed the problem again. The correct solution is the previous patch, which prevents lower C-states across the suspend/resume. Remove the enforcement code, including the conditional broadcast timer arming, which helped to pamper over the real problem for quite a time. The oneshot broadcast flag for the cpu, which runs the resume code can never be set at the time when this code is executed. It only gets set, when the CPU is entering a lower idle C-State.
