In preparation for supporting generic timekeeping, this patch cleans up x86-64's use of vxtime.hpet_address, changing it to just hpet_address as is also used in i386. This is necessary since the vxtime structure will be going away. Signed-off-by:

Thomas Gleixner authored
The NMI watchdog implementation assumes that the local APIC timer interrupt is happening. This assumption is not longer true when high resolution timers and dynamic ticks come into play, as they may switch off the local APIC timer completely. Take the PIT/HPET interrupts into account too, to avoid false positives. Signed-off-by:

The local apic timer calibration has two problem cases: 1. The calibration is based on readout of the PIT/HPET timer to detect the wrap of the periodic tick. It happens that a box gets stuck in the calibration loop due to a PIT with a broken readout function. 2. CoreDuo boxen show a sporadic PIT runs too slow defect, which results in a wrong lapic calibration. The PIT goes back to normal operation once the lapic timer is switched to periodic mode. Both are existing and unfixed problems in the current upstream kernel and prevent certain laptops and other systems from booting Linux. Rework the code to address both problems: - Make the calibration interrupt driven. This removes the wait_timer_tick magic hackery from lapic.c and time_hpet.c. The clockevents framework allows easy substitution of the global tick event handler for the calibration. This is more accurate than monitoring jiffies. At this point of the boot process, nothing disturbes the interrupt delivery, so the results are very accurate. - Verify the calibration against the PM timer, when available by using the early access function. When the measured calibration period is outside of an one percent window, then the lapic timer calibration is adjusted to the pm timer result. - Verify the calibration by running the lapic timer with the calibration handler. Disable lapic timer in case of deviation. This also removes the "synchronization" of the local apic timer to the global tick. This synchronization never worked, as there is no way to synchronize PIT(HPET) and local APIC timer. The synchronization by waiting for the tick just alignes the local APIC timer for the first events, but later the events drift away due to the different clocks. Removing the "sync" is just randomizing the asynchronous behaviour at setup time. Signed-off-by:

Add clockevent drivers for i386: lapic (local) and PIT/HPET (global). Update the timer IRQ to call into the PIT/HPET driver's event handler and the lapic-timer IRQ to call into the lapic clockevent driver. The assignement of timer functionality is delegated to the core framework code and replaces the compile and runtime evalution in do_timer_interrupt_hook() Use the clockevents broadcast support and implement the lapic_broadcast function for ACPI. No changes to existing functionality.

With Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Add functions to provide dynamic ticks and high resolution timers. The code which keeps track of jiffies and handles the long idle periods is shared between tick based and high resolution timer based dynticks.

With Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Add broadcast functionality, so per cpu clock event devices can be registered as dummy devices or switched from/to broadcast on demand. The broadcast function distributes the events via the broadcast function of the clock event device. This is primarily designed to replace the switch apic timer to / from IPI in power states, where the apic stops. Signed-off-by:

With Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> The tick-management code is the first user of the clockevents layer. It takes clock event devices from the clock events core and uses them to provide the periodic tick. Signed-off-by:
-
Thomas Gleixner authored
Architectures register their clock event devices, in the clock events core. Users of the clockevents core can get clock event devices for their use. The clockevents core code provides notification mechanisms for various clock related management events. This allows to control the clock event devices without the architectures having to worry about the details of function assignment. This is also a preliminary for high resolution timers and dynamic ticks to allow the core code to control the clock functionality without intrusive changes to the architecture code.

This is a preperatory patch for highres/dyntick: - replace the big #ifdef ARCH_APICTIMER_STOPS_ON_C3 hackery by functions - remove the double switch in the power verify function (in the worst case we switched ipi to apic and 20usec later apic to ipi) - keep track of the the state which stops local APIC timer Signed-off-by:

apic.h does not get included on UP compiles. That way the APICTIMER_STOPS_ON_C3 is not there and UP boxen have no support for timer broadcasting. This was never noticed, because the lapic timer is only used for profiling on UP. Signed-off-by:

For CONFIG_NO_HZ we need to calculate the next timer wheel event based on a given jiffie value. Extend the existing code to allow the extra 'now' argument. Provide a compability function for the existing implementations to call the function with now == jiffies. (This also solves the racyness of the original code vs. jiffies changing during the iteration.) No functional changes to existing users of this infrastructure.

When searching for the next pending timer in the timer wheel we need to take the cascade into account. The current code has several problems: 1. it looks into the previous cascade 2. it ignores a pending cascade 3. it ignores multiple cascades Change the cascade lookup, so it calculates the array index from the point of the next cascade and always look at the cascade buckets, when the cascade is pending, i.e. gets executed in the next timer softirq. When multiple cascades are pending, then lookup the next buckets too. Signed-off-by:

The Geode can safely use the TSC for highres, since: 1) Does not support frequency scaling, 2) The TSC _does_ count when the CPU is halted. Furthermore, the Geode supports a mode called "suspension on halt", where Suspend mode (which interacts with the power management states) is entered. TSC counting during suspend mode is controlled by bit 8 of the Bus Controller Configuration Register #0 (thanks Tom!). 3) no SMP :) Check if "RTSC counts during suspension" and remove the requirement for verification, so the clocksource code can safely select it as an timesource for the highres timers subsystem.

make the TSC synchronization code more robust, and unify it between x86_64 and i386. The biggest change is the removal of the 'fix up TSCs' code on x86_64 and i386, in some rare cases it was /causing/ time-warps on SMP systems. The new code only checks for TSC asynchronity - and if it can prove a time-warp (if it can observe the TSC going backwards when going from one CPU to another within a critical section), then the TSC clock-source is turned off. The TSC synchronization-checking code also got moved into a separate file. Signed-off-by:
