clocksource: Make watchdog robust vs. interruption

2011-06-16T17:30:53Z

The clocksource watchdog code is interruptible and it has been observed that this can trigger false positives which disable the TSC. The reason is that an interrupt storm or a long running interrupt handler between the read of the watchdog source and the read of the TSC brings the two far enough apart that the delta is larger than the unstable treshold. Move both reads into a short interrupt disabled region to avoid that. Reported-and-tested-by: Vernon Mauery Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Cc: stable@kernel.org

clocksource: add common mmio clocksource

2011-05-23T17:04:51Z

Add a generic mmio clocksource, covering both 32-bit and 16-bit register access sizes, for up or down counters. This can be used to easily create clocksources for simple counter-based implementations. Cc: Alessandro Rubini Cc: Colin Cross Cc: Eric Miao Cc: Erik Gilling Acked-by: "Hans J.

clocksource: Restructure clocksource struct members

2011-05-19T12:24:15Z

Group the hot path members of struct clocksource together so we have a better cache line footprint. Make it cacheline aligned. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Cc: John Stultz Cc: Eric Dumazet Reviewed-by: Ingo Molnar Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/%3C20110518210136.003081882%40linutronix.de%3E

Make clocksource name const

clocksource: Add __clocksource_updatefreq_hz/khz methods

2010-07-27T10:40:55Z

To properly handle clocksources that change frequencies at the clocksource->enable() point, this patch adds a method that will update the clocksource's mult/shift and max_idle_ns values.

timkeeping: Fix update_vsyscall to provide wall_to_monotonic offset

2010-07-27T10:40:54Z

update_vsyscall() did not provide the wall_to_monotoinc offset, so arch specific implementations tend to reference wall_to_monotonic directly. This limits future cleanups in the timekeeping core, so this patch fixes the update_vsyscall interface to provide wall_to_monotonic, allowing wall_to_monotonic to be made static as planned in Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt Signed-off-by: John Stultz Cc: Martin Schwidefsky Cc: Anton Blanchard Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Tony Luck LKML-Reference: <1279068988-21864-7-git-send-email-johnstul@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner

clocksource: Add clocksource_register_hz/khz interface

2010-05-10T12:24:26Z

How to pick good mult/shift pairs has always been difficult to describe to folks writing clocksource drivers, since it requires careful tradeoffs in adjustment accuracy vs overflow limits. Now, with the clocks_calc_mult_shift function, its much easier. However, not many clocksources have converted to using that function, and there is still the issue of the max interval length assumption being made by each clocksource driver independently. So this patch simplifies the registration process by having clocksources be registered with a hz/khz value and the registration function taking care of setting mult/shift. This should take most of the confusion out of writing a clocksource driver. Additionally it also keeps the shift size tradeoff (more accuracy vs longer possible nohz times) centralized so the timekeeping core can keep track of the assumptions being made.

clocksource: add suspend callback

2010-02-05T13:54:10Z

Add a clocksource suspend callback. This callback can be used by the clocksource driver to shutdown and perform any kind of late suspend activities even though the clocksource driver itself is a non-sysdev driver. One example where this is useful is to fix the sh_cmt.c platform driver that today suspends using the platform bus and shuts down the clocksource too early. With this callback in place the sh_cmt driver will suspend using the clocksource and clockevent hooks and leave the platform device pm callbacks unused.
