Add a function, similar to mod_timer(), that will start a timer if it isn't running and will modify it if it is running and has an expiry time longer than the new time. If the timer is running with an expiry time that's the same or sooner, no change is made. The function looks like: int timer_reduce(struct timer_list *timer, unsigned long expires); This can be used by code such as networking code to make it easier to share a timer for multiple timeouts. For instance, in upcoming AF_RXRPC code, the rxrpc_call struct will maintain a number of timeouts: unsigned long ack_at; unsigned long resend_at; unsigned long ping_at; unsigned long expect_rx_by; unsigned long expect_req_by; unsigned long expect_term_by; each of which is set independently of the others. With timer reduction available, when the code needs to set one of the timeouts, it only needs to look at that timeout and then call timer_reduce() to modify the timer, starting it or bringing it forward if necessary. There is no need to refer to the other timeouts to see which is earliest and no need to take any lock other than, potentially, the timer lock inside timer_reduce(). Note, that this does not protect against concurrent invocations of any of the timer functions. As an example, the expect_rx_by timeout above, which terminates a call if we don't get a packet from the server within a certain time window, would be set something like this: unsigned long now = jiffies; unsigned long expect_rx_by = now + packet_receive_timeout; WRITE_ONCE(call->expect_rx_by, expect_rx_by); timer_reduce(&call->timer, expect_rx_by); The timer service code (which might, say, be in a work function) would then check all the timeouts to see which, if any, had triggered, deal with those: t = READ_ONCE(call->ack_at); if (time_after_eq(now, t)) { cmpxchg(&call->ack_at, t, now + MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET); set_bit(RXRPC_CALL_EV_ACK, &call->events); } and then restart the timer if necessary by finding the soonest timeout that hasn't yet passed and then calling timer_reduce(). The disadvantage of doing things this way rather than comparing the timers each time and calling mod_timer() is that you *will* take timer events unless you can finish what you're doing and delete the timer in time. The advantage of doing things this way is that you don't need to use a lock to work out when the next timer should be set, other than the timer's own lock - which you might not have to take.

__getnstimeofday() is a rather odd interface, with a number of quirks: - The caller may come from NMI context, but the implementation is not NMI safe, one way to get there from NMI is NMI handler: something bad panic() kmsg_dump() pstore_dump() pstore_record_init() __getnstimeofday() - The calling conventions are different from any other timekeeping functions, to deal with returning an error code during suspended timekeeping. Address the above issues by using a completely different method to get the time: ktime_get_real_fast_ns() is NMI safe and has a reasonable behavior when timekeeping is suspended: it returns the time at which it got suspended. As Thomas Gleixner explained, this is safe, as ktime_get_real_fast_ns() does not call into the clocksource driver that might be suspended. The result can easily be transformed into a timespec structure. Since ktime_get_real_fast_ns() was not exported to modules, add the export. The pstore behavior for the suspended case changes slightly, as it now stores the timestamp at which timekeeping was suspended instead of storing a zero timestamp. This change is not addressing y2038-safety, that's subject to a more complex follow up patch.

This refactors the discover_timer to remove the needless locking and state machine used for synchronizing timer death. Using del_timer_sync() will already do the right thing.
