sched/clock: Fix broken stable to unstable transfer

2017-03-27T08:23:48Z

When it is determined that the clock is actually unstable, and we switch from stable to unstable, the __clear_sched_clock_stable() function is eventually called. In this function we set gtod_offset so the following holds true: sched_clock() + raw_offset == ktime_get_ns() + gtod_offset But instead of getting the latest timestamps, we use the last values from scd, so instead of sched_clock() we use scd->tick_raw, and instead of ktime_get_ns() we use scd->tick_gtod. However, later, when we use gtod_offset sched_clock_local() we do not add it to scd->tick_gtod to calculate the correct clock value when we determine the boundaries for min/max clocks. This can result in tick granularity sched_clock() values, so fix it.

sched/clock, x86/perf: Fix "perf test tsc"

2017-03-23T06:31:49Z

People reported that commit: 5680d8094ffa ("sched/clock: Provide better clock continuity") broke "perf test tsc". That commit added another offset to the reported clock value; so take that into account when computing the provided offset values.

sched/clock: Fix clear_sched_clock_stable() preempt wobbly

2017-03-23T06:31:48Z

Paul reported a problems with clear_sched_clock_stable(). Since we run all of __clear_sched_clock_stable() from workqueue context, there's a preempt problem. Solve it by only running the static_key_disable() from workqueue. Reported-by: Paul E.

sched/clock: Fix hotplug crash

2017-01-20T01:38:46Z

Mike reported that he could trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE() in set_sched_clock_stable() using hotplug. This exposed a fundamental problem with the interface, we should never mark the TSC stable if we ever find it to be unstable. Therefore set_sched_clock_stable() is a broken interface. The reason it existed is that not having it is a pain, it means all relevant architecture code needs to call clear_sched_clock_stable() where appropriate. Of the three architectures that select HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK ia64 and parisc are trivial in that they never called set_sched_clock_stable(), so add an unconditional call to clear_sched_clock_stable() to them. For x86 the story is a lot more involved, and what this patch tries to do is ensure we preserve the status quo. So even is Cyrix or Transmeta have usable TSC they never called set_sched_clock_stable() so they now get an explicit mark unstable.

sched/clock: Provide better clock continuity

2017-01-14T10:30:00Z

When switching between the unstable and stable variants it is currently possible that clock discontinuities occur. And while these will mostly be 'small', attempt to do better. As observed on my IVB-EP, the sched_clock() is ~1.5s ahead of the ktime_get_ns() based timeline at the point of switchover (sched_clock_init_late()) after SMP bringup. Equally, when the TSC is later found to be unstable -- typically because SMM tries to hide its SMI latencies by mucking with the TSC -- we want to avoid large jumps. Since the clocksource watchdog reports the issue after the fact we cannot exactly fix up time, but since SMI latencies are typically small (~10ns range), the discontinuity is mainly due to drift between sched_clock() and ktime_get_ns() (which on my desktop is ~79s over 24days). I dislike this patch because it adds overhead to the good case in favour of dealing with badness. But given the widespread failure of TSC stability this is worth it. Note that in case the TSC makes drastic jumps after SMP bringup we're still hosed. There's just not much we can do in that case without stupid overhead. If we were to somehow expose tsc_clocksource_reliable (which is hard because this code is also used on ia64 and parisc) we could avoid some of the newly introduced overhead.

sched/clock: Delay switching sched_clock to stable

2017-01-14T10:29:59Z

Currently we switch to the stable sched_clock if we guess the TSC is usable, and then switch back to the unstable path if it turns out TSC isn't stable during SMP bringup after all. Delay switching to the stable path until after SMP bringup is complete. This way we'll avoid switching during the time we detect the worst of the TSC offences.

sched/clock: Make local_clock()/cpu_clock() inline

2016-04-13T10:25:22Z

The local_clock/cpu_clock functions were changed to prevent a double identical test with sched_clock_cpu() when HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK is set. That resulted in one line functions. As these functions are in all the cases one line functions and in the hot path, it is useful to specify them as static inline in order to give a strong hint to the compiler. After verification, it appears the compiler does not inline them without this hint. Change those functions to static inline. sched_clock_cpu() is called via the inlined local_clock()/cpu_clock() functions from sched.h. So any module code including sched.h will reference sched_clock_cpu(). Thus it must be exported with the EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL macro.
