or more with\nthe clock tracer. This killed the latencing timings of ftrace and also\ncaused the irqoff self tests to fail.\n\nWhat was happening is with NO_HZ the idle would stop the jiffy counter and\nbefore the jiffy counter was updated the sched_clock would have a bad\ndelta jiffies to compare with the gtod with the maximum.\n\nThe jiffies would stop and the last sched_tick would record the last gtod.\nOn wakeup, the sched clock update would compare the gtod + delta jiffies\n(which would be zero) and compare it to the TSC. The TSC would have\ncorrectly (with a stable TSC) moved forward several jiffies. But because the\njiffies has not been updated yet the clock would be prevented from moving\nforward because it would appear that the TSC jumped too far ahead.\n\nThe clock would then virtually stop, until the jiffies are updated. Then\nthe next sched clock update would see that the clock was very much behind\nsince the delta jiffies is now correct. This would then jump the clock\nforward by several jiffies.\n\nThis caused ftrace to report several milliseconds of interrupts off\nlatency at every resume from NO_HZ idle.\n\nThis patch adds hooks into the nohz code to disable the checking of the\nmaximum clock update when nohz is in effect. It resumes the max check\nwhen nohz has updated the jiffies again.\n\nSigned-off-by: Steven Rostedt \u003csrostedt@redhat.com\u003e\nCc: Steven Rostedt \u003csrostedt@redhat.com\u003e\nCc: Peter Zijlstra \u003cpeterz@infradead.org\u003e\nCc: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "857f3fd7a496ddf4329345af65a4a2b16dd25fe8", "tree": "7bd1b0de6e82363beba60097529b72ac7de923f5", "parents": [ "7a14ce1d8c1d3a6118d406e64eaf9aa70375e085" ], "author": { "name": "Heiko Carstens", "email": "heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com", "time": "Fri Jul 11 11:09:22 2008 +0200" }, "committer": { "name": "Ingo Molnar", "email": "mingo@elte.hu", "time": "Fri Jul 11 11:17:04 2008 +0200" }, "message": "nohz: don\u0027t stop idle tick if softirqs are pending.\n\nIn case a cpu goes idle but softirqs are pending only an error message is\nprinted to the console.

Up to\nnow we disabled the local apic timer for those machines as it stops\nwhen the CPU goes into C1E. This excludes those machines from high\nresolution timers / dynamic ticks, which hurts especially X2 based\nlaptops.\n\nThe current boot time C1E detection has another, more serious flaw\nas well: some BIOSes do not enable C1E until the ACPI processor module\nis loaded. This causes systems to stop working after that point.\n\nTo work nicely with C1E enabled machines we use a separate idle\nfunction, which checks on idle entry whether C1E was enabled in the\nInterrupt Pending Message MSR. This allows us to do timer broadcasting\nfor C1E and covers the late enablement of C1E as well.\n\nSigned-off-by: Thomas Gleixner \u003ctglx@linutronix.de\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "8691e5a8f691cc2a4fda0651e8d307aaba0e7d68", "tree": "6cb6767064d2d43441212566da2d83dcc9a0cd8e", "parents": [ "490f5de52a87063fcb40e3b22f61b0779603ff6d" ], "author": { "name": "Jens Axboe", "email": "jens.axboe@oracle.com", "time": "Fri Jun 06 11:18:06 2008 +0200" }, "committer": { "name": "Jens Axboe", "email": "jens.axboe@oracle.com", "time": "Thu Jun 26 11:24:35 2008 +0200" }, "message": "smp_call_function: get rid of the unused nonatomic/retry argument\n\nIt\u0027s never used and the comments refer to nonatomic and retry\ninterchangably.

This can cause\ntime jumps in the range of hours.\n\nThis was reported in:\n http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/23/96\nand\n http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/31/23\n\nI was able to reproduce the problem with a gettimeofday loop test on a\ndual core and a quad core machine which both have sychronized\nTSCs. The TSCs seems not to be perfectly in sync though, but the\nkernel is not able to detect the slight delta in the sync check. Still\nthere exists an extremly small window where this delta can be observed\nwith a real big time jump. So far I was only able to reproduce this\nwith the vsyscall gettimeofday implementation, but in theory this\nmight be observable with the syscall based version as well.\n\nCPU 0 updates the clock source variables under xtime/vyscall lock and\nCPU1, where the TSC is slighty behind CPU0, is reading the time right\nafter the seqlock was unlocked.\n\nThe clocksource reference data was updated with the TSC from CPU0 and\nthe value which is read from TSC on CPU1 is less than the reference\ndata. This results in a huge delta value due to the unsigned\nsubtraction of the TSC value and the reference value. This algorithm\ncan not be changed due to the support of wrapping clock sources like\npm timer.\n\nThe huge delta is converted to nanoseconds and added to xtime, which\nis then observable by the caller. The next gettimeofday call on CPU1\nwill show the correct time again as now the TSC has advanced above the\nreference value.\n\nTo prevent this TSC specific wreckage we need to compare the TSC value\nagainst the reference value and return the latter when it is larger\nthan the actual TSC value.\n\nI pondered to mark the TSC unstable when the readout is smaller than\nthe reference value, but this would render an otherwise good and fast\nclocksource unusable without a real good reason.\n\nSigned-off-by: Thomas Gleixner \u003ctglx@linutronix.de\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar
