rtc: Fix some bugs that allowed accumulating time drift in suspend/resume

2011-11-23T03:25:56Z

The current code checks if abs(delta_delta.tv_sec) is greater or equal to two before it discards the old delta value, but this can trigger at close to -1 seconds since -1.000000001 seconds is stored as tv_sec -2 and tv_nsec 999999999 in a normalized timespec. rtc_resume had an early return check if the rtc value had not changed since rtc_suspend. This effectivly stops time for the duration of the short sleep. Check if sleep_time is positive after all the adjustments have been applied instead since this allows the old_system adjustment in rtc_suspend to have an effect even for short sleep cycles.

drivers/rtc/class.c: convert idr to ida and use ida_simple_get()

2011-11-02T23:06:58Z

This is the one use of an ida that doesn't retry on receiving -EAGAIN. I'm assuming do so will cause no harm and may help on a rare occasion. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Cameron Cc: Alessandro Zummo Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

rtc: Avoid accumulating time drift in suspend/resume

2011-06-21T23:55:39Z

Because the RTC interface is only a second granular interface, each time we read from the RTC for suspend/resume, we introduce a half second (on average) of error. In order to avoid this error accumulating as the system is suspended over and over, this patch measures the time delta between the RTC and the system CLOCK_REALTIME. If the delta is less then 2 seconds from the last suspend, we compensate by using the previous time delta (keeping it close). If it is larger then 2 seconds, we assume the clock was set or has been changed, so we do no correction and update the delta. Note: If NTP is running, ths could seem to "fight" with the NTP corrected time, where as if the system time was off by 1 second, and NTP slewed the value in, a suspend/resume cycle could undo this correction, by trying to restore the previous offset from the RTC. However, without this patch, since each read could cause almost a full second worth of error, its possible to get almost 2 seconds of error just from the suspend/resume cycle alone, so this about equal to any offset added by the compensation. Further on systems that suspend/resume frequently, this should keep time closer then NTP could compensate for if the errors were allowed to accumulate. Credits to Arve Hjønnevåg for suggesting this solution. This patch also improves some of the variable names and adds more clear comments.

time: Add timekeeping_inject_sleeptime

2011-04-26T21:01:41Z

Some platforms cannot implement read_persistent_clock, as their RTC devices are only accessible when interrupts are enabled. This keeps them from being used by the timekeeping code on resume to measure the time in suspend. The RTC layer tries to work around this, by calling do_settimeofday on resume after irqs are reenabled to set the time properly. However, this only corrects CLOCK_REALTIME, and does not properly adjust the sleep time value. This causes btime in /proc/stat to be incorrect as well as making the new CLOCK_BOTTTIME inaccurate. This patch resolves the issue by introducing a new timekeeping hook to allow the RTC layer to inject the sleep time on resume. The code also checks to make sure that read_persistent_clock is nonfunctional before setting the sleep time, so that should the RTC's HCTOSYS option be configured in on a system that does support read_persistent_clock we will not increase the total_sleep_time twice.

RTC: Fix early irqs caused by calling rtc_set_alarm too early

2011-03-30T01:44:05Z

When we register an rtc device at boot, we read the alarm value in hardware and set the rtc device's aie_timer to that value. The initial method to do this was to simply call rtc_set_alarm() with the value read from hardware. However, this may cause problems as rtc_set_alarm may enable interupts, and the RTC alarm might fire, which can cause invalid pointer dereferencing since the RTC registration is not complete. This patch solves the issue by initializing the rtc_device.aie_timer y hand via rtc_initialize_alarm(). This avoids any calls to the RTC hardware which might enable interrupts too early.

RTC: Initialize kernel state from RTC

2011-03-09T19:22:50Z

Mark Brown pointed out a corner case: that RTC alarms should be allowed to be persistent across reboots if the hardware supported it. The rework of the generic layer to virtualize the RTC alarm virtualized much of the alarm handling, and removed the code used to read the alarm time from the hardware. Mark noted if we want the alarm to be persistent across reboots, we need to re-read the alarm value into the virtualized generic layer at boot up, so that the generic layer properly exposes that value. This patch restores much of the earlier removed rtc_read_alarm code and wires it in so that we set the kernel's alarm value to what we find in the hardware at boot time. NOTE: Not all hardware supports persistent RTC alarm state across system reset. rtc-cmos for example will keep the alarm time, but disables the AIE mode irq. Applications should not expect the RTC alarm to be valid after a system reset. We will preserve what we can, to represent the hardware state at boot, but its not guarenteed. Further, in the future, with multiplexed RTC alarms, the soonest alarm to fire may not be the one set via the /dev/rt ioctls. So an application may set the alarm with RTC_ALM_SET, but after a reset find that RTC_ALM_READ returns an earlier time. Again, we preserve what we can, but applications should not expect the RTC alarm state to persist across a system reset. Big thanks to Mark for pointing out the issue! Thanks also to Marcelo for helping think through the solution.

RTC: Prevents a division by zero in kernel code.

2011-02-03T20:59:50Z

This patch prevents a user space program from calling the RTC_IRQP_SET ioctl with a negative value of frequency. Also, if this call is make with a zero value of frequency, there would be a division by zero in the kernel code.
