time: Change k_clock clock_get() to use timespec64

2017-04-14T19:49:55Z

struct timespec is not y2038 safe on 32 bit machines. Replace uses of struct timespec with struct timespec64 in the kernel. The syscall interfaces themselves will be changed in a separate series.

time: Delete do_sys_setimeofday()

2017-04-14T19:49:54Z

struct timespec is not y2038 safe on 32 bit machines and needs to be replaced with struct timespec64. do_sys_timeofday() is just a wrapper function. Replace all calls to this function with direct calls to do_sys_timeofday64() instead and delete do_sys_timeofday().

timekeeping: Add a fast and NMI safe boot clock

2016-11-29T17:02:59Z

This boot clock can be used as a tracing clock and will account for suspend time. To keep it NMI safe since we're accessing from tracing, we're not using a separate timekeeper with updates to monotonic clock and boot offset protected with seqlocks. This has the following minor side effects: (1) Its possible that a timestamp be taken after the boot offset is updated but before the timekeeper is updated. If this happens, the new boot offset is added to the old timekeeping making the clock appear to update slightly earlier: CPU 0 CPU 1 timekeeping_inject_sleeptime64() __timekeeping_inject_sleeptime(tk, delta); timestamp(); timekeeping_update(tk, TK_CLEAR_NTP...); (2) On 32-bit systems, the 64-bit boot offset (tk->offs_boot) may be partially updated. Since the tk->offs_boot update is a rare event, this should be a rare occurrence which postprocessing should be able to handle.

time: Make settimeofday error checking work again

2016-06-01T19:13:43Z

In commit 86d3473224b0 some of the checking for a valid timeval was subtley changed which caused -EINVAL to be returned whenever the timeval was null. However, it is possible to set the timezone data while specifying a NULL timeval, which is usually done to handle systems where the RTC keeps local time instead of UTC. Thus the patch causes such systems to have the time incorrectly set. This patch addresses the issue by handling the error conditionals in the same way as was done previously.

time: Introduce do_sys_settimeofday64()

2016-04-22T18:49:04Z

The do_sys_settimeofday() function uses a timespec, which is not year 2038 safe on 32bit systems. Thus this patch introduces do_sys_settimeofday64(), which allows us to transition users of do_sys_settimeofday() to using 64bit time types.

time: Add history to cross timestamp interface supporting slower devices

2016-03-03T01:13:17Z

Another representative use case of time sync and the correlated clocksource (in addition to PTP noted above) is PTP synchronized audio. In a streaming application, as an example, samples will be sent and/or received by multiple devices with a presentation time that is in terms of the PTP master clock. Synchronizing the audio output on these devices requires correlating the audio clock with the PTP master clock. The more precise this correlation is, the better the audio quality (i.e. out of sync audio sounds bad). From an application standpoint, to correlate the PTP master clock with the audio device clock, the system clock is used as a intermediate timebase. The transforms such an application would perform are: System Clock <-> Audio clock System Clock <-> Network Device Clock [<-> PTP Master Clock] Modern Intel platforms can perform a more accurate cross timestamp in hardware (ART,audio device clock). The audio driver requires ART->system time transforms -- the same as required for the network driver. These platforms offload audio processing (including cross-timestamps) to a DSP which to ensure uninterrupted audio processing, communicates and response to the host only once every millsecond. As a result is takes up to a millisecond for the DSP to receive a request, the request is processed by the DSP, the audio output hardware is polled for completion, the result is copied into shared memory, and the host is notified. All of these operation occur on a millisecond cadence. This transaction requires about 2 ms, but under heavier workloads it may take up to 4 ms. Adding a history allows these slow devices the option of providing an ART value outside of the current interval. In this case, the callback provided is an accessor function for the previously obtained counter value. If get_system_device_crosststamp() receives a counter value previous to cycle_last, it consults the history provided as an argument in history_ref and interpolates the realtime and monotonic raw system time using the provided counter value. If there are any clock discontinuities, e.g. from calling settimeofday(), the monotonic raw time is interpolated in the usual way, but the realtime clock time is adjusted by scaling the monotonic raw adjustment. When an accessor function is used a history argument *must* be provided. The history is initialized using ktime_get_snapshot() and must be called before the counter values are read.

time: Add driver cross timestamp interface for higher precision time synchronization

2016-03-03T01:13:10Z

ACKNOWLEDGMENT: cross timestamp code was developed by Thomas Gleixner . It has changed considerably and any mistakes are mine. The precision with which events on multiple networked systems can be synchronized using, as an example, PTP (IEEE 1588, 802.1AS) is limited by the precision of the cross timestamps between the system clock and the device (timestamp) clock. Precision here is the degree of simultaneity when capturing the cross timestamp. Currently the PTP cross timestamp is captured in software using the PTP device driver ioctl PTP_SYS_OFFSET. Reads of the device clock are interleaved with reads of the realtime clock. At best, the precision of this cross timestamp is on the order of several microseconds due to software latencies. Sub-microsecond precision is required for industrial control and some media applications. To achieve this level of precision hardware supported cross timestamping is needed. The function get_device_system_crosstimestamp() allows device drivers to return a cross timestamp with system time properly scaled to nanoseconds. The realtime value is needed to discipline that clock using PTP and the monotonic raw value is used for applications that don't require a "real" time, but need an unadjusted clock time. The get_device_system_crosstimestamp() code calls back into the driver to ensure that the system counter is within the current timekeeping update interval. Modern Intel hardware provides an Always Running Timer (ART) which is exactly related to TSC through a known frequency ratio. The ART is routed to devices on the system and is used to precisely and simultaneously capture the device clock with the ART.
