time: Consolidate the time accessor prototypes

2014-07-23T17:17:54Z

Right now we have time related prototypes in 3 different header files. Move it to a single timekeeping header file and move the core internal stuff into a core private header. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: John Stultz

time: Fixup fallout from recent clockevent/tick changes

2014-02-07T15:00:46Z

Make the stub function static inline instead of static and move the clockevents related function into the proper ifdeffed section. Reported-by: Fengguang Wu Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Soren Brinkmann Cc: Preeti U Murthy

time: Change the return type of clockevents_notify() to integer

2014-02-07T14:34:29Z

The broadcast framework can potentially be made use of by archs which do not have an external clock device as well. Then, it is required that one of the CPUs need to handle the broadcasting of wakeup IPIs to the CPUs in deep idle. As a result its local timers should remain functional all the time. For such a CPU, the BROADCAST_ENTER notification has to fail indicating that its clock device cannot be shutdown. To make way for this support, change the return type of tick_broadcast_oneshot_control() and hence clockevents_notify() to indicate such scenarios.

clockevents: Serialize calls to clockevents_update_freq() in the core

2014-02-07T14:34:28Z

We can identify the broadcast device in the core and serialize all callers including interrupts on a different CPU against the update. Also, disabling interrupts is moved into the core allowing callers to leave interrutps enabled when calling clockevents_update_freq().

tick/timekeeping: Call update_wall_time outside the jiffies lock

2013-12-23T19:54:32Z

Since the xtime lock was split into the timekeeping lock and the jiffies lock, we no longer need to call update_wall_time() while holding the jiffies lock. Thus, this patch splits update_wall_time() out from do_timer(). This allows us to get away from calling clock_was_set_delayed() in update_wall_time() and instead use the standard clock_was_set() call that previously would deadlock, as it causes the jiffies lock to be acquired.

nohz: Convert a few places to use local per cpu accesses

2013-12-02T19:39:30Z

A few functions use remote per CPU access APIs when they deal with local values. Just do the right conversion to improve performance, code readability and debug checks. While at it, lets extend some of these function names with *_this_cpu() suffix in order to display their purpose more clearly.

time: Fix signedness bug in sysfs_get_uname() and its callers

2013-10-18T23:45:58Z

sysfs_get_uname() is erroneously declared as returning size_t even though it may return a negative value, specifically -EINVAL. Its callers then check whether its return value is less than zero and indeed that is never the case for size_t. This patch changes sysfs_get_uname() to return ssize_t and makes sure its callers use ssize_t accordingly. Signed-off-by: Patrick Palka [jstultz: Didn't apply cleanly, as a similar partial fix was also applied so had to resolve the collisions] Signed-off-by: John Stultz

clockevents: Define CS_NAME_LEN unconditionally

clockevents: Implement unbind functionality

2013-05-16T09:09:18Z

Provide a sysfs interface to allow unbinding of clockevent devices. The device is unbound if it is unused or if there is a replacement device available. Unbinding of broadcast devices is not supported as we don't want to foster that nonsense. If no replacement device is available the unbind returns -EBUSY. Unbind is available from the kernel and through sysfs, which is necessary to drop the module refcount.
