      selftests: timers: Add leap-second timer edge testing to leap-a-day.c · 0c4a5fc9
      John Stultz authored 
      Prarit reported an issue w/ timers around the leapsecond, where a
timer set for Midnight UTC (00:00:00) might fire a second early right
before the leapsecond (23:59:60 - though it appears as a repeated
23:59:59) is applied.

So I've updated the leap-a-day.c test to integrate a similar test,
where we set a timer and check if it triggers at the right time, and
if the ntp state transition is managed properly.

      ntp: Do leapsecond adjustment in adjtimex read path · 96efdcf2
      John Stultz authored 
      Since the leapsecond is applied at tick-time, this means there is a
small window of time at the start of a leap-second where we cross into
the next second before applying the leap.

This patch modified adjtimex so that the leap-second is applied on the
second edge. Providing more correct leapsecond behavior.

This does make it so that adjtimex()'s returned time values can be
inconsistent with time values read from gettimeofday() or
clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME,...)  for a brief period of one tick at
the leapsecond.  However, those other interfaces do not provide the
TIME_OOP time_state return that adjtimex() provides, which allows the
leapsecond to be properly represented. They instead only see a time
discontinuity, and cannot tell the first 23:59:59 from the repeated
23:59:59 leap second.

This seems like a reasonable tradeoff given clock_gettime() /
gettimeofday() cannot properly represent a leapsecond, and users
likely care more about performance, while folks who are using
adjtimex() more likely care about leap-second correctness.

      time: Prevent early expiry of hrtimers[CLOCK_REALTIME] at the leap second edge · 833f32d7
      John Stultz authored 
      Currently, leapsecond adjustments are done at tick time. As a result,
the leapsecond was applied at the first timer tick *after* the
leapsecond (~1-10ms late depending on HZ), rather then exactly on the
second edge.

This was in part historical from back when we were always tick based,
but correcting this since has been avoided since it adds extra
conditional checks in the gettime fastpath, which has performance
overhead.

However, it was recently pointed out that ABS_TIME CLOCK_REALTIME
timers set for right after the leapsecond could fire a second early,
since some timers may be expired before we trigger the timekeeping
timer, which then applies the leapsecond.

This isn't quite as bad as it sounds, since behaviorally it is similar
to what is possible w/ ntpd made leapsecond adjustments done w/o using
the kernel discipline. Where due to latencies, timers may fire just
prior to the settimeofday call. (Also, one should note that all
applications using CLOCK_REALTIME timers should always be careful,
since they are prone to quirks from settimeofday() disturbances.)

However, the purpose of having the kernel do the leap adjustment is to
avoid such latencies, so I think this is worth fixing.

So in order to properly keep those timers from firing a second early,
this patch modifies the ntp and timekeeping logic so that we keep
enough state so that the update_base_offsets_now accessor, which
provides the hrtimer core the current time, can check and apply the
leapsecond adjustment on the second edge. This prevents the hrtimer
core from expiring timers too early.

This patch does not modify any other time read path, so no additional
overhead is incurred. However, this also means that the leap-second
continues to be applied at tick time for all other read-paths.

Apologies to Richard Cochran, who pushed for similar changes years
ago, which I resisted due to the concerns about the performance
overhead.

While I suspect this isn't extremely critical, folks who care about
strict leap-second correctness will likely want to watch
this. Potentially a -stable candidate eventually.

      ntp: Introduce and use SECS_PER_DAY macro instead of 86400 · 90bf361c
      John Stultz authored 
      Currently the leapsecond logic uses what looks like magic values.

Improve this by defining SECS_PER_DAY and using that macro
to make the logic more clear.

      time: Move clock_was_set_seq update before updating shadow-timekeeper · d1518326
      John Stultz authored 
      It was reported that 868a3e91 (hrtimer: Make offset
update smarter) was causing timer problems after suspend/resume.

The problem with that change is the modification to
clock_was_set_seq in timekeeping_update is done prior to
mirroring the time state to the shadow-timekeeper. Thus the
next time we do update_wall_time() the updated sequence is
overwritten by whats in the shadow copy.

This patch moves the shadow-timekeeper mirroring to the end
of the function, after all updates have been made, so all data
is kept in sync.

(This patch also affects the update_fast_timekeeper calls which
were also problematically done prior to the mirroring).

      clockevents: Stop unused clockevent devices · d2540875
      Viresh Kumar authored 
      To avoid getting spurious interrupts on a tickless CPU, clockevent
device can now be stopped by switching to ONESHOT_STOPPED state.

The natural place for handling this transition is tick_program_event().

On 'expires == KTIME_MAX', we skip programming the event and so we need
to fix such call sites as well, to always call tick_program_event()
irrespective of the expires value.

Once the clockevent device is required again, check if it was earlier
put into ONESHOT_STOPPED state. If yes, switch its state to ONESHOT
before programming its event.

To make sure we haven't missed any corner case, add a WARN() for the
case where we try to reprogram clockevent device while we aren't
configured in ONESHOT_STOPPED state.

      clockevents: Introduce CLOCK_EVT_STATE_ONESHOT_STOPPED state · 8fff52fd
      Viresh Kumar authored 
      When no timers/hrtimers are pending, the expiry time is set to a
special value: 'KTIME_MAX'. This normally happens with
NO_HZ_{IDLE|FULL} in both LOWRES/HIGHRES modes.

When 'expiry == KTIME_MAX', we either cancel the 'tick-sched' hrtimer
(NOHZ_MODE_HIGHRES) or skip reprogramming clockevent device
(NOHZ_MODE_LOWRES).  But, the clockevent device is already
reprogrammed from the tick-handler for next tick.

As the clock event device is programmed in ONESHOT mode it will at
least fire one more time (unnecessarily). Timers on few
implementations (like arm_arch_timer, etc.) only support PERIODIC mode
and their drivers emulate ONESHOT over that. Which means that on these
platforms we will get spurious interrupts periodically (at last
programmed interval rate, normally tick rate).

In order to avoid spurious interrupts, the clockevent device should be
stopped or its interrupts should be masked.

A simple (yet hacky) solution to get this fixed could be: update
hrtimer_force_reprogram() to always reprogram clockevent device and
update clockevent drivers to STOP generating events (or delay it to
max time) when 'expires' is set to KTIME_MAX. But the drawback here is
that every clockevent driver has to be hacked for this particular case
and its very easy for new ones to miss this.

However, Thomas suggested to add an optional state ONESHOT_STOPPED to
solve this problem: lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/9/508.

This patch adds support for ONESHOT_STOPPED state in clockevents
core. It will only be available to drivers that implement the
state-specific callbacks instead of the legacy ->set_mode() callback.
