clocksource: Retry clock read if long delays detected

2021-07-14T14:53:18Z

[ Upstream commit db3a34e17433de2390eb80d436970edcebd0ca3e ] When the clocksource watchdog marks a clock as unstable, this might be due to that clock being unstable or it might be due to delays that happen to occur between the reads of the two clocks. Yes, interrupts are disabled across those two reads, but there are no shortage of things that can delay interrupts-disabled regions of code ranging from SMI handlers to vCPU preemption. It would be good to have some indication as to why the clock was marked unstable. Therefore, re-read the watchdog clock on either side of the read from the clock under test. If the watchdog clock shows an excessive time delta between its pair of reads, the reads are retried. The maximum number of retries is specified by a new kernel boot parameter clocksource.max_cswd_read_retries, which defaults to three, that is, up to four reads, one initial and up to three retries. If more than one retry was required, a message is printed on the console (the occasional single retry is expected behavior, especially in guest OSes). If the maximum number of retries is exceeded, the clock under test will be marked unstable. However, the probability of this happening due to various sorts of delays is quite small. In addition, the reason (clock-read delays) for the unstable marking will be apparent. Reported-by: Chris Mason Signed-off-by: Paul E.

clocksource: Prevent double add_timer_on() for watchdog_timer

2020-02-11T12:35:54Z

commit febac332a819f0e764aa4da62757ba21d18c182b upstream. Kernel crashes inside QEMU/KVM are observed: kernel BUG at kernel/time/timer.c:1154! BUG_ON(timer_pending(timer) || !timer->function) in add_timer_on(). At the same time another cpu got: general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI of poinson pointer 0xdead000000000200 in: __hlist_del at include/linux/list.h:681 (inlined by) detach_timer at kernel/time/timer.c:818 (inlined by) expire_timers at kernel/time/timer.c:1355 (inlined by) __run_timers at kernel/time/timer.c:1686 (inlined by) run_timer_softirq at kernel/time/timer.c:1699 Unfortunately kernel logs are badly scrambled, stacktraces are lost. Printing the timer->function before the BUG_ON() pointed to clocksource_watchdog(). The execution of clocksource_watchdog() can race with a sequence of clocksource_stop_watchdog() .. clocksource_start_watchdog(): expire_timers() detach_timer(timer, true); timer->entry.pprev = NULL; raw_spin_unlock_irq(&base->lock); call_timer_fn clocksource_watchdog() clocksource_watchdog_kthread() or clocksource_unbind() spin_lock_irqsave(&watchdog_lock, flags); clocksource_stop_watchdog(); del_timer(&watchdog_timer); watchdog_running = 0; spin_unlock_irqrestore(&watchdog_lock, flags); spin_lock_irqsave(&watchdog_lock, flags); clocksource_start_watchdog(); add_timer_on(&watchdog_timer, ...); watchdog_running = 1; spin_unlock_irqrestore(&watchdog_lock, flags); spin_lock(&watchdog_lock); add_timer_on(&watchdog_timer, ...); BUG_ON(timer_pending(timer) || !timer->function); timer_pending() -> true BUG() I.e. inside clocksource_watchdog() watchdog_timer could be already armed. Check timer_pending() before calling add_timer_on(). This is sufficient as all operations are synchronized by watchdog_lock.

time: Add SPDX license identifiers

2018-11-23T10:51:20Z

Update the time(r) core files files with the correct SPDX license identifier based on the license text in the file itself. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This work is based on a script and data from Philippe Ombredanne, Kate Stewart and myself. The data has been created with two independent license scanners and manual inspection. The following files do not contain any direct license information and have been omitted from the big initial SPDX changes: timeconst.bc: The .bc files were not touched time.c, timer.c, timekeeping.c: Licence was deduced from EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL As those files do not contain direct license references they fall under the project license, i.e. GPL V2 only.

clocksource: Revert "Remove kthread"

2018-09-06T21:38:35Z

I turns out that the silly spawn kthread from worker was actually needed. clocksource_watchdog_kthread() cannot be called directly from clocksource_watchdog_work(), because clocksource_select() calls timekeeping_notify() which uses stop_machine(). One cannot use stop_machine() from a workqueue() due lock inversions wrt CPU hotplug. Revert the patch but add a comment that explain why we jump through such apparently silly hoops.

time: Introduce one suspend clocksource to compensate the suspend time

2018-07-20T00:08:52Z

On some hardware with multiple clocksources, we have coarse grained clocksources that support the CLOCK_SOURCE_SUSPEND_NONSTOP flag, but which are less than ideal for timekeeping whereas other clocksources can be better candidates but halt on suspend. Currently, the timekeeping core only supports timing suspend using CLOCK_SOURCE_SUSPEND_NONSTOP clocksources if that clocksource is the current clocksource for timekeeping. As a result, some architectures try to implement read_persistent_clock64() using those non-stop clocksources, but isn't really ideal, which will introduce more duplicate code. To fix this, provide logic to allow a registered SUSPEND_NONSTOP clocksource, which isn't the current clocksource, to be used to calculate the suspend time.
