timekeeping_init() can set the wall time offset, so we need to
increment the clock_was_set_seq counter. That way hrtimers will pick
up the early offset immediately. Otherwise on a machine which does not
set wall time later in the boot process the hrtimer offset is stale at
0 and wall time timers are going to expire with a delay of 45 years.

There is exactly one caller of getnstime_raw_and_real in the kernel,
which is the pps_get_ts function. This changes the caller and
the implementation to work on timespec64 types rather than timespec,
to avoid the time_t overflow on 32-bit architectures.
For consistency with the other new functions (ktime_get_seconds,
ktime_get_real_*, ...), I'm renaming the function to
ktime_get_raw_and_real_ts64.
We still need to convert from the internal 64-bit type to 32 bit
types in the caller, but this conversion is now pushed out from
getnstime_raw_and_real to pps_get_ts. A follow-up patch changes
the remaining pps code to completely avoid the conversion.

There is only one user of the hardpps function in the kernel, so
it makes sense to atomically change it over to using 64-bit
timestamps for y2038 safety. In the hardpps implementation,
we also need to change the pps_normtime structure, which is
similar to struct timespec and also requires a 64-bit
seconds portion.
This introduces two temporary variables in pps_kc_event() to
do the conversion, they will be removed again in the next step,
which seemed preferable to having a larger patch changing it
all at the same time.

The internal clocksteering done for fine-grained error
correction uses a logarithmic approximation, so any time
adjtimex() adjusts the clock steering, timekeeping_freqadjust()
quickly approximates the correct clock frequency over a series
of ticks.
Unfortunately, the logic in timekeeping_freqadjust(), introduced
in commit:
dc491596f6 ("timekeeping: Rework frequency adjustments to work better w/ nohz")
used the abs() function with a s64 error value to calculate the
size of the approximated adjustment to be made.
Per include/linux/kernel.h:
"abs() should not be used for 64-bit types (s64, u64, long long) - use abs64()".
Thus on 32-bit platforms, this resulted in the clocksteering to
take a quite dampended random walk trying to converge on the
proper frequency, which caused the adjustments to be made much
slower then intended (most easily observed when large
adjustments are made).
This patch fixes the issue by using abs64() instead.

Two issues were found on an IMX6 development board without an
enabled RTC device(resulting in the boot time and monotonic
time being initialized to 0).
Issue 1:exportfs -a generate:
"exportfs: /opt/nfs/arm does not support NFS export"
Issue 2:cat /proc/stat:
"btime 4294967236"
The same issues can be reproduced on x86 after running the
following code:
int main(void)
{
struct timeval val;
int ret;
val.tv_sec = 0;
val.tv_usec = 0;
ret = settimeofday(&val, NULL);
return 0;
}
Two issues are different symptoms of same problem:
The reason is a positive wall_to_monotonic pushes boot time back
to the time before Epoch, and getboottime will return negative
value.
In symptom 1:
negative boot time cause get_expiry() to overflow time_t
when input expire time is 2147483647, then cache_flush()
always clears entries just added in ip_map_parse.
In symptom 2:
show_stat() uses "unsigned long" to print negative btime
value returned by getboottime.
This patch fix the problem by prohibiting time from being set to a value which
would cause a negative boot time. As a result one can't set the CLOCK_REALTIME
time prior to (1970 + system uptime).

The fix in d151832650 (time: Move clock_was_set_seq update
before updating shadow-timekeeper) was unfortunately incomplete.
The main gist of that change was to do the shadow-copy update
last, so that any state changes were properly duplicated, and
we wouldn't accidentally have stale data in the shadow.
Unfortunately in the main update_wall_time() logic, we update
use the shadow-timekeeper to calculate the next update values,
then while holding the lock, copy the shadow-timekeeper over,
then call timekeeping_update() to do some additional
bookkeeping, (skipping the shadow mirror). The bug with this is
the additional bookkeeping isn't all read-only, and some
changes timkeeper state. Thus we might then overwrite this state
change on the next update.
To avoid this problem, do the timekeeping_update() on the
shadow-timekeeper prior to copying the full state over to
the real-timekeeper.
This avoids problems with both the clock_was_set_seq and
next_leap_ktime being overwritten and possibly the
fast-timekeepers as well.
Many thanks to Prarit for his rigorous testing, which discovered
this problem, along with Prarit and Daniel's work validating this
fix.

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.

It was reported that 868a3e915f (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).

The softirq time field in the clock bases is an optimization from the
early days of hrtimers. It provides a coarse "jiffies" like time
mostly for self rearming timers.
But that comes with a price:
- Larger code size
- Extra storage space
- Duplicated functions with really small differences
The benefit of this is optimization is marginal for contemporary
systems.
Consolidate everything on the high resolution timer
implementation. This makes further optimizations possible.

If a system does not provide a persistent_clock(), the time
will be updated on resume by rtc_resume(). With the addition
of the non-stop clocksources for suspend timing, those systems
set the time on resume in timekeeping_resume(), but may not
provide a valid persistent_clock().
This results in the rtc_resume() logic thinking no one has set
the time and it then will over-write the suspend time again,
which is not necessary and only increases clock error.
So, fix this for rtc_resume().
This patch also improves the name of persistent_clock_exist to
make it more grammatical.

When there's no persistent clock, normally
timekeeping_suspend_time should always be zero, but this can
break in timekeeping_suspend().
At T1, there was a system suspend, so old_delta was assigned T1.
After some time, one time adjustment happened, and xtime got the
value of T1-dt(0s<dt<2s). Then, there comes another system
suspend soon after this adjustment, obviously we will get a
small negative delta_delta, resulting in a negative
timekeeping_suspend_time.
This is problematic, when doing timekeeping_resume() if there is
no nonstop clocksource for example, it will hit the else leg and
inject the improper sleeptime which is the wrong logic.
So, we can solve this problem by only doing delta related code
when the persistent clock is existent. Actually the code only
makes sense for persistent clock cases.

clockevents_notify() is a leftover from the early design of the
clockevents facility. It's really not a notification mechanism,
it's a multiplex call.
We are way better off to have explicit calls instead of this
monstrosity. Split out the suspend/resume() calls and invoke
them directly from the call sites.
No locking required at this point because these calls happen
with interrupts disabled and a single cpu online.

It was suggested that the underflow/overflow protection
should probably throw some sort of warning out, rather
than just silently fixing the issue.
So this patch adds some warnings here. The flag variables
used are not protected by locks, but since we can't print
from the reading functions, just being able to say we
saw an issue in the update interval is useful enough,
and can be slightly racy without real consequence.
The big complication is that we're only under a read
seqlock, so the data could shift under us during
our calculation to see if there was a problem. This
patch avoids this issue by nesting another seqlock
which allows us to snapshot the just required values
atomically. So we shouldn't see false positives.
I also added some basic rate-limiting here, since
on one build machine w/ skewed TSCs it was fairly
noisy at bootup.

In the case where there is a broken clocksource
where there are multiple actual clocks that
aren't perfectly aligned, we may see small "negative"
deltas when we subtract 'now' from 'cycle_last'.
The values are actually negative with respect to the
clocksource mask value, not necessarily negative
if cast to a s64, but we can check by checking the
delta to see if it is a small (relative to the mask)
negative value (again negative relative to the mask).
If so, we assume we jumped backwards somehow and
instead use zero for our delta.

When calculating the current delta since the last tick, we
currently have no hard protections to prevent a multiplication
overflow from occuring.
This patch introduces infrastructure to allow a cap that
limits the clocksource read delta value to the 'max_cycles' value,
which is where an overflow would occur.
Since this is in the hotpath, it adds the extra checking under
CONFIG_DEBUG_TIMEKEEPING=y.
There was some concern that capping time like this could cause
problems as we may stop expiring timers, which could go circular
if the timer that triggers time accumulation were mis-scheduled
too far in the future, which would cause time to stop.
However, since the mult overflow would result in a smaller time
value, we would effectively have the same problem there.

Recently there's been requests for better sanity
checking in the time code, so that it's more clear
when something is going wrong, since timekeeping issues
could manifest in a large number of strange ways in
various subsystems.
Thus, this patch adds some extra infrastructure to
add a check to update_wall_time() to print two new
warnings:
1) if we see the call delayed beyond the 'max_cycles'
overflow point,
2) or if we see the call delayed beyond the clocksource's
'max_idle_ns' value, which is currently 50% of the
overflow point.
This extra infrastructure is conditional on
a new CONFIG_DEBUG_TIMEKEEPING option, also
added in this patch - default off.
Tested this a bit by halting qemu for specified
lengths of time to trigger the warnings.

Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
The efficiency of suspend-to-idle depends on being able to keep CPUs
in the deepest available idle states for as much time as possible.
Ideally, they should only be brought out of idle by system wakeup
interrupts.
However, timer interrupts occurring periodically prevent that from
happening and it is not practical to chase all of the "misbehaving"
timers in a whack-a-mole fashion. A much more effective approach is
to suspend the local ticks for all CPUs and the entire timekeeping
along the lines of what is done during full suspend, which also
helps to keep suspend-to-idle and full suspend reasonably similar.
The idea is to suspend the local tick on each CPU executing
cpuidle_enter_freeze() and to make the last of them suspend the
entire timekeeping. That should prevent timer interrupts from
triggering until an IO interrupt wakes up one of the CPUs. It
needs to be done with interrupts disabled on all of the CPUs,
though, because otherwise the suspended clocksource might be
accessed by an interrupt handler which might lead to fatal
consequences.
Unfortunately, the existing ->enter callbacks provided by cpuidle
drivers generally cannot be used for implementing that, because some
of them re-enable interrupts temporarily and some idle entry methods
cause interrupts to be re-enabled automatically on exit. Also some
of these callbacks manipulate local clock event devices of the CPUs
which really shouldn't be done after suspending their ticks.
To overcome that difficulty, introduce a new cpuidle state callback,
->enter_freeze, that will be guaranteed (1) to keep interrupts
disabled all the time (and return with interrupts disabled) and (2)
not to touch the CPU timer devices. Modify cpuidle_enter_freeze() to
look for the deepest available idle state with ->enter_freeze present
and to make the CPU execute that callback with suspended tick (and the
last of the online CPUs to execute it with suspended timekeeping).

Theoretically, ktime_get_mono_fast_ns() may be executed after
timekeeping has been suspended (or before it is resumed) which
in turn may lead to undefined behavior, for example, when the
clocksource read from timekeeping_get_ns() called by it is
not accessible at that time.
Prevent that from happening by setting up a dummy readout base for
the fast timekeeper during timekeeping_suspend() such that it will
always return the same number of cycles.
After the last timekeeping_update() in timekeeping_suspend() the
clocksource is read and the result is stored as cycles_at_suspend.
The readout base from the current timekeeper is copied onto the
dummy and the ->read pointer of the dummy is set to a routine
unconditionally returning cycles_at_suspend. Next, the dummy is
passed to update_fast_timekeeper().
Then, ktime_get_mono_fast_ns() will work until the subsequent
timekeeping_resume() and the proper readout base for the fast
timekeeper will be restored by the timekeeping_update() called
right after clearing timekeeping_suspended.

In commit 6067dc5a8c ("time: Avoid possible NTP adjustment

that could cause a mult overflow.
Unfortunately the check compares a signed with unsigned value
and ignored the case where the adjustment was negative, which
causes spurious warn-ons on some systems (and seems like it
would result in problematic time adjustments there as well, due
to the early return).
Thus this patch adds a check to make sure the adjustment is
positive before we check for an overflow, and resovles the issue
in my testing.

Ideally, __clocksource_updatefreq_scale, selects the largest shift
value possible for a clocksource. This results in the mult memember of
struct clocksource being particularly large, although not so large
that NTP would adjust the clock to cause it to overflow.
That said, nothing actually prohibits an overflow from occuring, its
just that it "shouldn't" occur.
So while very unlikely, and so far never observed, the value of
(cs->mult+cs->maxadj) may have a chance to reach very near 0xFFFFFFFF,
so there is a possibility it may overflow when doing NTP positive
adjustment
See the following detail: When NTP slewes the clock, kernel goes
through update_wall_time()->...->timekeeping_apply_adjustment():
tk->tkr.mult += mult_adj;
Since there is no guard against it, its possible tk->tkr.mult may
overflow during this operation.
This patch avoids any possible mult overflow by judging the overflow
case before adding mult_adj to mult, also adds the WARNING message
when capturing such case.

ktime_get_real_seconds() is the replacement function for get_seconds()
returning the seconds portion of CLOCK_REALTIME in a time64_t. For
64bit the function is equivivalent to get_seconds(), but for 32bit it
protects the readout with the timekeeper sequence count. This is
required because 32-bit machines cannot access 64-bit tk->xtime_sec
variable atomically.

This is the counterpart to get_seconds() based on CLOCK_MONOTONIC. The
use case for this interface are kernel internal coarse grained
timestamps which do neither require the nanoseconds fraction of
current time nor the CLOCK_REALTIME properties. Such timestamps can
currently only retrieved by calling ktime_get_ts64() and using the
tv_sec field of the returned timespec64. That's inefficient as it
involves the read of the clocksource, math operations and must be
protected by the timekeeper sequence counter.
To avoid the sequence counter protection we restrict the return value
to unsigned 32bit on 32bit machines. This covers ~136 years of uptime
and therefor an overflow is not expected to hit anytime soon.
To avoid math in the function we calculate the current seconds portion
of CLOCK_MONOTONIC when the timekeeper gets updated in
tk_update_ktime_data() similar to the CLOCK_REALTIME counterpart
xtime_sec.

The update_walltime() code works on the shadow timekeeper to make the
seqcount protected region as short as possible. But that update to the
shadow timekeeper does not update all timekeeper fields because it's
sufficient to do that once before it becomes life. One of these fields
is tkr.base_mono. That stays stale in the shadow timekeeper unless an
operation happens which copies the real timekeeper to the shadow.
The update function is called after the update calls to vsyscall and
pvclock. While not correct, it did not cause any problems because none
of the invoked update functions used base_mono.
commit cbcf2dd3b3 (x86: kvm: Make kvm_get_time_and_clockread()

the stale mono_base value got used and caused kvm-clock to malfunction.

By caching the ntp_tick_length() when we correct the frequency error,
and then using that cached value to accumulate error, we avoid large
initial errors when the tick length is changed.
This makes convergence happen much faster in the simulator, since the
initial error doesn't have to be slowly whittled away.
This initially seems like an accounting error, but Miroslav pointed out
that ntp_tick_length() can change mid-tick, so when we apply it in the
error accumulation, we are applying any recent change to the entire tick.
This approach chooses to apply changes in the ntp_tick_length() only to
the next tick, which allows us to calculate the freq correction before
using the new tick length, which avoids accummulating error.

The existing timekeeping_adjust logic has always been complicated
to understand. Further, since it was developed prior to NOHZ becoming
common, its not surprising it performs poorly when NOHZ is enabled.
Since Miroslav pointed out the problematic nature of the existing code
in the NOHZ case, I've tried to refactor the code to perform better.
The problem with the previous approach was that it tried to adjust
for the total cumulative error using a scaled dampening factor. This
resulted in large errors to be corrected slowly, while small errors
were corrected quickly. With NOHZ the timekeeping code doesn't know
how far out the next tick will be, so this results in bad
over-correction to small errors, and insufficient correction to large
errors.
Inspired by Miroslav's patch, I've refactored the code to try to
address the correction in two steps.
1) Check the future freq error for the next tick, and if the frequency
error is large, try to make sure we correct it so it doesn't cause
much accumulated error.
2) Then make a small single unit adjustment to correct any cumulative
error that has collected over time.
This method performs fairly well in the simulator Miroslav created.
Major credit to Miroslav for pointing out the issue, providing the
original patch to resolve this, a simulator for testing, as well as
helping debug and resolve issues in my implementation so that it
performed closer to his original implementation.

Tracers want a correlated time between the kernel instrumentation and
user space. We really do not want to export sched_clock() to user
space, so we need to provide something sensible for this.
Using separate data structures with an non blocking sequence count
based update mechanism allows us to do that. The data structure
required for the readout has a sequence counter and two copies of the
timekeeping data.
On the update side:
smp_wmb();
tkf->seq++;
smp_wmb();
update(tkf->base[0], tk);
smp_wmb();
tkf->seq++;
smp_wmb();
update(tkf->base[1], tk);
On the reader side:
do {
seq = tkf->seq;
smp_rmb();
idx = seq & 0x01;
now = now(tkf->base[idx]);
smp_rmb();
} while (seq != tkf->seq)
So if a NMI hits the update of base[0] it will use base[1] which is
still consistent, but this timestamp is not guaranteed to be monotonic
across an update.
The timestamp is calculated by:
now = base_mono + clock_delta * slope
So if the update lowers the slope, readers who are forced to the
not yet updated second array are still using the old steeper slope.
tmono
^
| o n
| o n
| u
| o
|o
|12345678---> reader order
o = old slope
u = update
n = new slope
So reader 6 will observe time going backwards versus reader 5.
While other CPUs are likely to be able observe that, the only way
for a CPU local observation is when an NMI hits in the middle of
the update. Timestamps taken from that NMI context might be ahead
of the following timestamps. Callers need to be aware of that and
deal with it.

Access to time requires to touch two cachelines at minimum
1) The timekeeper data structure
2) The clocksource data structure
The access to the clocksource data structure can be avoided as almost
all clocksource implementations ignore the argument to the read
callback, which is a pointer to the clocksource.
But the core needs to touch it to access the members @read and @mask.
So we are better off by copying the @read function pointer and the
@mask from the clocksource to the core data structure itself.
For the most used ktime_get() access all required data including the
@read and @mask copies fits together with the sequence counter into a
single 64 byte cacheline.
For the other time access functions we touch in the current code three
cache lines in the worst case. But with the clocksource data copies we
can reduce that to two adjacent cachelines, which is more efficient
than disjunct cache lines.

This may have additional performance overhead on some 32bit

however the majority of 32bit systems (arm and i386) were already
using scalar ktime_t, so no performance regressions will be seen

Jiri Bohac pointed out that there are rare but potential deadlock
possibilities when calling printk while holding the timekeeping
seqlock.
This is due to printk() triggering console sem wakeup, which can
cause scheduling code to trigger hrtimers which may try to read
the time.
Specifically, as Jiri pointed out, that path is:
printk
vprintk_emit
console_unlock
up(&console_sem)
__up
wake_up_process
try_to_wake_up
ttwu_do_activate
ttwu_activate
activate_task
enqueue_task
enqueue_task_fair
hrtick_update
hrtick_start_fair
hrtick_start_fair
get_time
ktime_get
--> endless loop on
read_seqcount_retry(&timekeeper_seq, ...)
This patch tries to avoid this issue by using printk_deferred (previously
named printk_sched) which should defer printing via a irq_work_queue.

In commit 47a1b79630 ("tick/timekeeping: Call

clock_was_set() due to the fact that we were no longer holding
the timekeeping or jiffies lock.
However, there is still the problem that clock_was_set()
triggers an IPI, which cannot be done from the timer's hard irq
context, and will generate WARN_ON warnings.
Apparently in my earlier testing, I'm guessing I didn't bump the
dmesg log level, so I somehow missed the WARN_ONs.
Thus we need to revert back to calling clock_was_set_delayed().

Since the xtime lock was split into the timekeeping lock and
the jiffies lock, we no longer need to call update_wall_time()
while holding the jiffies lock.
Thus, this patch splits update_wall_time() out from do_timer().
This allows us to get away from calling clock_was_set_delayed()
in update_wall_time() and instead use the standard clock_was_set()
call that previously would deadlock, as it causes the jiffies lock
to be acquired.

As part of normal operaions, the hrtimer subsystem frequently calls
into the timekeeping code, creating a locking order of
hrtimer locks -> timekeeping locks
clock_was_set_delayed() was suppoed to allow us to avoid deadlocks
between the timekeeping the hrtimer subsystem, so that we could
notify the hrtimer subsytem the time had changed while holding
the timekeeping locks. This was done by scheduling delayed work
that would run later once we were out of the timekeeing code.
But unfortunately the lock chains are complex enoguh that in
scheduling delayed work, we end up eventually trying to grab
an hrtimer lock.
Sasha Levin noticed this in testing when the new seqlock lockdep
enablement triggered the following (somewhat abrieviated) message:

So the best solution is to avoid calling clock_was_set_delayed() while
holding the timekeeping lock, and instead using a flag variable to
decide if we should call clock_was_set() once we've released the locks.
This works for the case here, where the do_adjtimex() was the deadlock
trigger point. Unfortuantely, in update_wall_time() we still hold
the jiffies lock, which would deadlock with the ipi triggered by
clock_was_set(), preventing us from calling it even after we drop the
timekeeping lock. So instead call clock_was_set_delayed() at that point.

In 780427f0e1 (Indicate that clock was set in the pvclock

notification to the pvclock notifier chain.
While that patch added a action flag returned from
accumulate_nsecs_to_secs(), it only uses the returned value
in one location, and not in the logarithmic accumulation.
This means if a leap second triggered during the logarithmic
accumulation (which is most likely where it would happen),
the notification that the clock was set would not make it to
the pv notifiers.
This patch extends the logarithmic_accumulation pass down
that action flag so proper notification will occur.
This patch also changes the varialbe action -> clock_set

Since commit 1e75fa8be9 (time: Condense timekeeper.xtime
into xtime_sec - merged in v3.6), there has been an problem
with the error accounting in the timekeeping code, such that
when truncating to nanoseconds, we round up to the next nsec,
but the balancing adjustment to the ntp_error value was dropped.
This causes 1ns per tick drift forward of the clock.
In 3.7, this logic was isolated to only GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL_OLD
architectures (s390, ia64, powerpc).
The fix is simply to balance the accounting and to subtract the
added nanosecond from ntp_error. This allows the internal long-term
clock steering to keep the clock accurate.
While this fix removes the regression added in 1e75fa8be9, the
ideal solution is to move away from GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL_OLD
and use the new VSYSCALL method, which avoids entirely the
nanosecond granular rounding, and the resulting short-term clock
adjustment oscillation needed to keep long term accurate time.

subtle bug, and providing the fix. ]
