commit c06b6d70 upstream. On slow platforms with unreliable TSC, such as QEMU emulated machines, it is possible for the kernel to request the next event in the past. In that case, in the current implementation of xen_vcpuop_clockevent, we simply return -ETIME. To be precise the Xen returns -ETIME and we pass it on. However the result of this is a missed event, which simply causes the kernel to hang. Instead it is better to always ask the hypervisor for a timer event, even if the timeout is in the past. That way there are no lost interrupts and the kernel survives. To do that, remove the VCPU_SSHOTTMR_future flag.

commit 0b0c002c upstream. ... because the "clock_event_device framework" already accounts for idle time through the "event_handler" function pointer in xen_timer_interrupt(). The patch is intended as the completion of [1]. It should fix the double idle times seen in PV guests' /proc/stat [2]. It should be orthogonal to stolen time accounting (the removed code seems to be isolated). The approach may be completely misguided. [1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/10/6/10 [2] http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2010-08/msg01068.html John took the time to retest this patch on top of v3.10 and reported: "idle time is correctly incremented for pv and hvm for the normal case, nohz=off and nohz=idle." so lets put this patch in.

That is, do it in in xen_hvm_cpu_notify, and remove the call to in xen_hvm_setup_cpu_clockevents. Unfortunatly the later is not a good idea as the bootup path does not use xen_hvm_cpu_notify so we would end up never allocating timer%d interrupt lines when booting. As such add the check for atomic() to continue. CC: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>

The tracing code used sched_clock() to get tracing timestamps, which ends up calling xen_clocksource_read(). xen_clocksource_read() must disable preemption, but if preemption tracing is enabled, this results in infinite recursion. I've only noticed this when boot-time tracing tests are enabled, but it seems like a generic bug. It looks like it would also affect kvm_clocksource_read().

xen_sched_clock only counts unstolen time. In principle this should be useful to the Linux scheduler so that it knows how much time a process actually consumed. But in practice this doesn't work very well as the scheduler expects the sched_clock time to be synchronized between cpus. It also uses sched_clock to measure the time a task spends sleeping, in which case "unstolen time" isn't meaningful. So just use plain xen_clocksource_read to return wallclock nanoseconds for sched_clock. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com>

Use xen_vcpuop_clockevent instead of hpet and APIC timers as main clockevent device on all vcpus, use the xen wallclock time as wallclock instead of rtc and use xen_clocksource as clocksource. The pv clock algorithm needs to work correctly for the xen_clocksource and xen wallclock to be usable, only modern Xen versions offer a reliable pv clock in HVM guests (XENFEAT_hvm_safe_pvclock). Using the hpet as clocksource means a VMEXIT every time we read/write to the hpet mmio addresses, pvclock give us a better rating without VMEXITs.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

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. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

Note the changes from 2.6.18-xen CPU hotplugging: A vcpu_down request from the remote admin via Xenbus both hotunplugs the CPU, and disables it by removing it from the cpu_present map, and removing its entry in /sys. A vcpu_up request from the remote admin only re-enables the CPU, and does not immediately bring the CPU up. A udev event is emitted, which can be caught by the user if he wishes to automatically re-up CPUs when available, or implement a more complex policy.

We have a few instances of the open-coded iterative div/mod loop, used when we don't expcet the dividend to be much bigger than the divisor. Unfortunately modern gcc's have the tendency to strength "reduce" this into a full mod operation, which isn't necessarily any faster, and even if it were, doesn't exist if gcc implements it in libgcc. The workaround is to put a dummy asm statement in the loop to prevent gcc from performing the transformation. This patch creates a single implementation of this loop, and uses it to replace the open-coded versions I know about.

This patch implements Xen save/restore and migration. Saving is triggered via xenbus, which is polled in drivers/xen/manage.c. When a suspend request comes in, the kernel prepares itself for saving by: 1 - Freeze all processes. This is primarily to prevent any partially-completed pagetable updates from confusing the suspend process. If CONFIG_PREEMPT isn't defined, then this isn't necessary. 2 - Suspend xenbus and other devices 3 - Stop_machine, to make sure all the other vcpus are quiescent. The Xen tools require the domain to run its save off vcpu0. 4 - Within the stop_machine state, it pins any unpinned pgds (under construction or destruction), performs canonicalizes various other pieces of state (mostly converting mfns to pfns), and finally 5 - Suspend the domain Restore reverses the steps used to save the domain, ending when all the frozen processes are thawed.

This is a fairly straightforward Xen implementation of smp_ops. Xen has its own IPI mechanisms, and has no dependency on any APIC-based IPI. The smp_ops hooks and the flush_tlb_others pv_op allow a Xen guest to avoid all APIC code in arch/i386 (the only apic operation is a single apic_read for the apic version number). One subtle point which needs to be addressed is unpinning pagetables when another cpu may have a lazy tlb reference to the pagetable. Xen will not allow an in-use pagetable to be unpinned, so we must find any other cpus with a reference to the pagetable and get them to shoot down their references.
