timer debug: Hide kernel addresses via %pK in /proc/timer_list

2011-02-12T13:11:56Z

In the continuing effort to avoid kernel addresses leaking to unprivileged users, this patch switches to %pK for /proc/timer_list reporting.

sched: Intoduce get_cpu_iowait_time_us()

2010-05-09T17:35:27Z

For the ondemand cpufreq governor, it is desired that the iowait time is microaccounted in a similar way as idle time is. This patch introduces the infrastructure to account and expose this information via the get_cpu_iowait_time_us() function.

clockevents: Sanitize min_delta_ns adjustment and prevent overflows

2010-03-12T18:10:29Z

The current logic which handles clock events programming failures can increase min_delta_ns unlimited and even can cause overflows. Sanitize it by: - prevent zero increase when min_delta_ns == 1 - limiting min_delta_ns to a jiffie - bail out if the jiffie limit is hit - add retries stats for /proc/timer_list so we can gather data Reported-by: Uwe Kleine-Koenig Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner

cpumask: avoid dereferencing struct cpumask

struct cpumask will be undefined soon with CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y, to avoid them being declared on the stack. cpumask_bits() does what we want here (of course, this code is crap). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell To: Thomas Gleixner

hrtimer: Tune hrtimer_interrupt hang logic

2009-12-10T12:08:11Z

The hrtimer_interrupt hang logic adjusts min_delta_ns based on the execution time of the hrtimer callbacks. This is error-prone for virtual machines, where a guest vcpu can be scheduled out during the execution of the callbacks (and the callbacks themselves can do operations that translate to blocking operations in the hypervisor), which in can lead to large min_delta_ns rendering the system unusable. Replace the current heuristics with something more reliable. Allow the interrupt code to try 3 times to catch up with the lost time. If that fails use the total time spent in the interrupt handler to defer the next timer interrupt so the system can catch up with other things which got delayed. Limit that deferment to 100ms. The retry events and the maximum time spent in the interrupt handler are recorded and exposed via /proc/timer_list Inspired by a patch from Marcelo.

nohz: Allow 32-bit machines to sleep for more than 2.15 seconds

2009-11-13T19:46:24Z

In the dynamic tick code, "max_delta_ns" (member of the "clock_event_device" structure) represents the maximum sleep time that can occur between timer events in nanoseconds. The variable, "max_delta_ns", is defined as an unsigned long which is a 32-bit integer for 32-bit machines and a 64-bit integer for 64-bit machines (if -m64 option is used for gcc). The value of max_delta_ns is set by calling the function "clockevent_delta2ns()" which returns a maximum value of LONG_MAX. For a 32-bit machine LONG_MAX is equal to 0x7fffffff and in nanoseconds this equates to ~2.15 seconds. Hence, the maximum sleep time for a 32-bit machine is ~2.15 seconds, where as for a 64-bit machine it will be many years. This patch changes the type of max_delta_ns to be "u64" instead of "unsigned long" so that this variable is a 64-bit type for both 32-bit and 64-bit machines. It also changes the maximum value returned by clockevent_delta2ns() to KTIME_MAX. Hence this allows a 32-bit machine to sleep for longer than ~2.15 seconds. Please note that this patch also changes "min_delta_ns" to be "u64" too and although this is unnecessary, it makes the patch simpler as it avoids to fixup all callers of clockevent_delta2ns(). [ tglx: changed "unsigned long long" to u64 as we use this data type through out the time code ] Signed-off-by: Jon Hunter Cc: John Stultz LKML-Reference: <1250617512-23567-3-git-send-email-jon-hunter@ti.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner

clockevents: Use u32 for mult and shift factors

2009-11-13T19:46:23Z

The mult and shift factors of clock events differ in their data type from those of clock sources for no reason. u32 is sufficient for both. shift is always <= 32 and mult is limited to 2^32-1 to avoid 64bit multiplication overflows in the conversion. Preparatory patch for a generic mult/shift factor calculation function.
