jiffies: Revert bogus conversion of NSEC_PER_SEC to TICK_NSEC

2017-03-07T10:03:28Z

commit 93825f2ec736 converted NSEC_PER_SEC to TICK_NSEC because the author confused NSEC_PER_JIFFY with NSEC_PER_SEC. As a result, the calculation of refined jiffies got broken, triggering lockups.

jiffies: Reuse TICK_NSEC instead of NSEC_PER_JIFFY

2017-02-01T08:13:45Z

NSEC_PER_JIFFY is an ad-hoc redefinition of TICK_NSEC. Let's rather use a unique and well maintained version.

clocksource: Use a plain u64 instead of cycle_t

2016-12-25T10:04:12Z

There is no point in having an extra type for extra confusion. u64 is unambiguous. Conversion was done with the following coccinelle script: @rem@ @@ -typedef u64 cycle_t; @fix@ typedef cycle_t; @@ -cycle_t +u64 Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: John Stultz

jiffies: Use CLOCKSOURCE_MASK instead of constant

2016-02-27T07:55:31Z

The CLOCKSOURCE_MASK(32) macro expands to the same value, but makes code more readable.

clocksource: Mostly kill clocksource_register()

2015-03-13T07:07:06Z

A long running project has been to clean up remaining uses of clocksource_register(), replacing it with the simpler clocksource_register_khz/hz() functions. However, there are a few cases where we need to self-define our mult/shift values, so switch the function to a more obviously internal __clocksource_register() name, and consolidate much of the internal logic so we don't have duplication.

timekeeping: Add debugging checks to warn if we see delays

2015-03-13T07:06:58Z

Recently there's been requests for better sanity checking in the time code, so that it's more clear when something is going wrong, since timekeeping issues could manifest in a large number of strange ways in various subsystems. Thus, this patch adds some extra infrastructure to add a check to update_wall_time() to print two new warnings: 1) if we see the call delayed beyond the 'max_cycles' overflow point, 2) or if we see the call delayed beyond the clocksource's 'max_idle_ns' value, which is currently 50% of the overflow point. This extra infrastructure is conditional on a new CONFIG_DEBUG_TIMEKEEPING option, also added in this patch - default off. Tested this a bit by halting qemu for specified lengths of time to trigger the warnings.

time: Fix overflow when HZ is smaller than 60

2014-02-06T15:01:40Z

When compiling for the IA-64 ski emulator, HZ is set to 32 because the emulation is slow and we don't want to waste too many cycles processing timers. Alpha also has an option to set HZ to 32. This causes integer underflow in kernel/time/jiffies.c: kernel/time/jiffies.c:66:2: warning: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type [-Woverflow] .mult = NSEC_PER_JIFFY << JIFFIES_SHIFT, /* details above */ ^ This patch reduces the JIFFIES_SHIFT value to avoid the overflow.

time: Kill xtime_lock, replacing it with jiffies_lock

2012-11-13T19:08:23Z

Now that timekeeping is protected by its own locks, rename the xtime_lock to jifffies_lock to better describe what it protects. CC: Thomas Gleixner CC: Eric Dumazet CC: Richard Cochran Signed-off-by: John Stultz

time/jiffies: Make clocksource_jiffies static

2012-11-13T19:04:51Z

Commit f1b8274 ("clocksource: Cleanup clocksource selection") removed all external references to clocksource_jiffies so there is no need to have the symbol globally visible. Fixes the following sparse warning: CHECK kernel/time/jiffies.c kernel/time/jiffies.c:61:20: warning: symbol 'clocksource_jiffies' was not declared. Should it be static?
