x86: Hypervisor detection and get tsc_freq from hypervisor Impact: Changes timebase calibration on Vmware. v3->v2 : Abstract the hypervisor detection and feature (tsc_freq) request behind a hypervisor.c file v2->v1 : Add a x86_hyper_vendor field to the cpuinfo_x86 structure. This avoids multiple calls to the hypervisor detection function. This patch adds function to detect if we are running under VMware. The current way to check if we are on VMware is following, # check if "hypervisor present bit" is set, if so read the 0x40000000 cpuid leaf and check for "VMwareVMware" signature. # if the above fails, check the DMI vendors name for "VMware" string if we find one we query the VMware hypervisor port to check if we are under VMware. The DMI + "VMware hypervisor port check" is needed for older VMware products, which don't implement the hypervisor signature cpuid leaf. Also note that since we are checking for the DMI signature the hypervisor port should never be accessed on native hardware. This patch also adds a hypervisor_get_tsc_freq function, instead of calibrating the frequency which can be error prone in virtualized environment, we ask the hypervisor for it. We get the frequency from the hypervisor by accessing the hypervisor port if we are running on VMware. Other hypervisors too can add code to the generic routine to get frequency on their platform.

x86/timers/apic: Inform TSC deadline clockevent device about recalibration This patch eliminates a source of imprecise APIC timer interrupts, which imprecision may result in double interrupts or even late interrupts. The TSC deadline clockevent devices' configuration and registration happens before the TSC frequency calibration is refined in tsc_refine_calibration_work(). This results in the TSC clocksource and the TSC deadline clockevent devices being configured with slightly different frequencies: the former gets the refined one and the latter are configured with the inaccurate frequency detected earlier by means of the "Fast TSC calibration using PIT". Within the APIC code, introduce the notifier function lapic_update_tsc_freq() which reconfigures all per-CPU TSC deadline clockevent devices with the current tsc_khz. Call it from the TSC code after TSC calibration refinement has happened.

x86/tsc: Fix UV TSC initialization The recent rework of the TSC calibration code introduced a regression on UV systems as it added a call to tsc_early_init() which initializes the TSC ADJUST values before acpi_boot_table_init(). In the case of UV systems, that is a necessary step that calls uv_system_init(). This informs tsc_sanitize_first_cpu() that the kernel runs on a platform with async TSC resets as documented in commit 341102c3ef29 ("x86/tsc: Add option that TSC on Socket 0 being non-zero is valid") Fix it by skipping the early tsc initialization on UV systems and let TSC init tests take place later in tsc_init().

x86/tsc: Initialize cyc2ns when tsc frequency is determined cyc2ns converts tsc to nanoseconds, and it is handled in a per-cpu data structure. Currently, the setup code for c2ns data for every possible CPU goes through the same sequence of calculations as for the boot CPU, but is based on the same tsc frequency as the boot CPU, and thus this is not necessary. Initialize the boot cpu when tsc frequency is determined. Copy the calculated data from the boot CPU to the other CPUs in tsc_init(). In addition do the following: - Remove unnecessary zeroing of c2ns data by removing cyc2ns_data_init() - Split set_cyc2ns_scale() into two functions, so set_cyc2ns_scale() can be called when system is up, and wraps around __set_cyc2ns_scale() that can be called directly when system is booting but avoids saving restoring IRQs and going and waking up from idle.

perf/x86: Fix time_shift in perf_event_mmap_page Commit: b20112edeadf ("perf/x86: Improve accuracy of perf/sched clock") allowed the time_shift value in perf_event_mmap_page to be as much as 32. Unfortunately the documented algorithms for using time_shift have it shifting an integer, whereas to work correctly with the value 32, the type must be u64. In the case of perf tools, Intel PT decodes correctly but the timestamps that are output (for example by perf script) have lost 32-bits of granularity so they look like they are not changing at all. Fix by limiting the shift to 31 and adjusting the multiplier accordingly. Also update the documentation of perf_event_mmap_page so that new code based on it will be more future-proof.

x86/tsc: Redefine notsc to behave as tsc=unstable Currently, the notsc kernel parameter disables the use of the TSC by sched_clock(). However, this parameter does not prevent the kernel from accessing tsc in other places. The only rationale to boot with notsc is to avoid timing discrepancies on multi-socket systems where TSC are not properly synchronized, and thus exclude TSC from being used for time keeping. But that prevents using TSC as sched_clock() as well, which is not necessary as the core sched_clock() implementation can handle non synchronized TSC based sched clocks just fine. However, there is another method to solve the above problem: booting with tsc=unstable parameter. This parameter allows sched_clock() to use TSC and just excludes it from timekeeping. So there is no real reason to keep notsc, but for compatibility reasons the parameter has to stay. Make it behave like 'tsc=unstable' instead.

x86: quick TSC calibration Introduce a fast TSC-calibration method on sane hardware. It only uses 17920 PIT timer ticks to calibrate the TSC, plus 256 ticks on each side to make sure the TSC values were very close to the tick, so the whole calibration takes 15ms. Yet, despite only takign 15ms, we can actually give pretty stringent guarantees of accuracy: - the code requires that we hit each 256-counter block at least 50 times, so the TSC error is basically at *MOST* just a few PIT cycles off in any direction. In practice, it's going to be about one microseconds off (which is how long it takes to read the counter) - so over 17920 PIT cycles, we can pretty much guarantee that the calibration error is less than one half of a percent. My testing bears this out: on my machine, the quick-calibration reports 2934.085kHz, while the slow one reports 2933.415. Yes, the slower calibration is still more precise. For me, the slow calibration is stable to within about one hundreth of a percent, so it's (at a guess) roughly an order-and-a-half of magnitude more precise. The longer you wait, the more precise you can be. However, the nice thing about the fast TSC PIT synchronization is that it's pretty much _guaranteed_ to give that 0.5% precision, and fail gracefully (and very quickly) if it doesn't get it. And it really is fairly simple (even if there's a lot of _details_ there, and I didn't get all of those right ont he first try or even the second ;) The patch says "110 insertions", but 63 of those new lines are actually comments.

Fast TSC calibration: calculate proper frequency error bounds In order for ntpd to correctly synchronize the clocks, the frequency of the system clock must not be off by more than 500 ppm (or, put another way, 1:2000), or ntpd will end up giving up on trying to synchronize properly, and ends up reseting the clock in jumps instead. The fast TSC PIT calibration sometimes failed this test - it was assuming that the PIT reads always took about one microsecond each (2us for the two reads to get a 16-bit timer), and that calibrating TSC to the PIT over 15ms should thus be sufficient to get much closer than 500ppm (max 2us error on both sides giving 4us over 15ms: a 270 ppm error value). However, that assumption does not always hold: apparently some hardware is either very much slower at reading the PIT registers, or there was other noise causing at least one machine to get 700+ ppm errors. So instead of using a fixed 15ms timing loop, this changes the fast PIT calibration to read the TSC delta over the individual PIT timer reads, and use the result to calculate the error bars on the PIT read timing properly. We then successfully calibrate the TSC only if the maximum error bars fall below 500ppm. In the process, we also relax the timing to allow up to 25ms for the calibration, although it can happen much faster depending on hardware.

PIT MSB transition has happened somewhere during SMI execution. c. returned from SMI and we noted down the 'tsc', saw the pit MSB change now and exited the loop to calculate 'deltatsc'. Instead of noting the TSC at the MSB transition, we are way off because of the SMI. And as the SMI happened between the pit_verify_msb() and before the 'tsc' is recorded in the for loop, 'delattsc' (d1/d2 in quick_pit_calibrate()) will be small and quick_pit_calibrate() will not notice this error. Depending on whether SMI disturbance happens while computing d1 or d2, we will see the TSC calibrated value smaller or bigger than the expected value. As a result, in a cluster we were seeing a variation of approximately +/- 20MHz in the calibrated values, resulting in NTP failures. [ As far as the SMI source is concerned, this is a periodic SMI that gets disabled after ACPI is enabled by the OS. But the TSC calibration happens before the ACPI is enabled. ] To address this, change pit_expect_msb() so that - the 'tsc' is the TSC in between the two reads that read the MSB change from the PIT (same as before) - the 'delta' is the difference in TSC from *before* the MSB changed to *after* the MSB changed. Now the delta is twice as big as before (it covers four PIT accesses, roughly 4us) and quick_pit_calibrate() will loop a bit longer to get the calibrated value with in the 500ppm precision. As the delta (d1/d2) covers four PIT accesses, actual calibrated result might be closer to 250ppm precision. As the loop now takes longer to stabilize, double MAX_QUICK_PIT_MS to 50. SMI disturbance will showup as much larger delta's and the loop will take longer than usual for the result to be with in the accepted precision. Or will fallback to slow PIT calibration if it takes more than 50msec. Also while we are at this, remove the calibration correction that aims to get the result to the middle of the error bars. We really don't know which direction to correct into, so remove it.

Fast TSC calibration: calculate proper frequency error bounds In order for ntpd to correctly synchronize the clocks, the frequency of the system clock must not be off by more than 500 ppm (or, put another way, 1:2000), or ntpd will end up giving up on trying to synchronize properly, and ends up reseting the clock in jumps instead. The fast TSC PIT calibration sometimes failed this test - it was assuming that the PIT reads always took about one microsecond each (2us for the two reads to get a 16-bit timer), and that calibrating TSC to the PIT over 15ms should thus be sufficient to get much closer than 500ppm (max 2us error on both sides giving 4us over 15ms: a 270 ppm error value). However, that assumption does not always hold: apparently some hardware is either very much slower at reading the PIT registers, or there was other noise causing at least one machine to get 700+ ppm errors. So instead of using a fixed 15ms timing loop, this changes the fast PIT calibration to read the TSC delta over the individual PIT timer reads, and use the result to calculate the error bars on the PIT read timing properly. We then successfully calibrate the TSC only if the maximum error bars fall below 500ppm. In the process, we also relax the timing to allow up to 25ms for the calibration, although it can happen much faster depending on hardware.

x86: quick TSC calibration Introduce a fast TSC-calibration method on sane hardware. It only uses 17920 PIT timer ticks to calibrate the TSC, plus 256 ticks on each side to make sure the TSC values were very close to the tick, so the whole calibration takes 15ms. Yet, despite only takign 15ms, we can actually give pretty stringent guarantees of accuracy: - the code requires that we hit each 256-counter block at least 50 times, so the TSC error is basically at *MOST* just a few PIT cycles off in any direction. In practice, it's going to be about one microseconds off (which is how long it takes to read the counter) - so over 17920 PIT cycles, we can pretty much guarantee that the calibration error is less than one half of a percent. My testing bears this out: on my machine, the quick-calibration reports 2934.085kHz, while the slow one reports 2933.415. Yes, the slower calibration is still more precise. For me, the slow calibration is stable to within about one hundreth of a percent, so it's (at a guess) roughly an order-and-a-half of magnitude more precise. The longer you wait, the more precise you can be. However, the nice thing about the fast TSC PIT synchronization is that it's pretty much _guaranteed_ to give that 0.5% precision, and fail gracefully (and very quickly) if it doesn't get it. And it really is fairly simple (even if there's a lot of _details_ there, and I didn't get all of those right ont he first try or even the second ;) The patch says "110 insertions", but 63 of those new lines are actually comments.

x86, tsc: Fix SMI induced variation in quick_pit_calibrate() pit_expect_msb() returns success wrongly in the below SMI scenario: a. pit_verify_msb() has not yet seen the MSB transition. b. we are close to the MSB transition though and got a SMI immediately after returning from pit_verify_msb() which didn't see the MSB transition. PIT MSB transition has happened somewhere during SMI execution. c. returned from SMI and we noted down the 'tsc', saw the pit MSB change now and exited the loop to calculate 'deltatsc'. Instead of noting the TSC at the MSB transition, we are way off because of the SMI. And as the SMI happened between the pit_verify_msb() and before the 'tsc' is recorded in the for loop, 'delattsc' (d1/d2 in quick_pit_calibrate()) will be small and quick_pit_calibrate() will not notice this error. Depending on whether SMI disturbance happens while computing d1 or d2, we will see the TSC calibrated value smaller or bigger than the expected value. As a result, in a cluster we were seeing a variation of approximately +/- 20MHz in the calibrated values, resulting in NTP failures. [ As far as the SMI source is concerned, this is a periodic SMI that gets disabled after ACPI is enabled by the OS. But the TSC calibration happens before the ACPI is enabled. ] To address this, change pit_expect_msb() so that - the 'tsc' is the TSC in between the two reads that read the MSB change from the PIT (same as before) - the 'delta' is the difference in TSC from *before* the MSB changed to *after* the MSB changed. Now the delta is twice as big as before (it covers four PIT accesses, roughly 4us) and quick_pit_calibrate() will loop a bit longer to get the calibrated value with in the 500ppm precision. As the delta (d1/d2) covers four PIT accesses, actual calibrated result might be closer to 250ppm precision. As the loop now takes longer to stabilize, double MAX_QUICK_PIT_MS to 50. SMI disturbance will showup as much larger delta's and the loop will take longer than usual for the result to be with in the accepted precision. Or will fallback to slow PIT calibration if it takes more than 50msec. Also while we are at this, remove the calibration correction that aims to get the result to the middle of the error bars. We really don't know which direction to correct into, so remove it.

Yet, despite only takign 15ms, we can actually give pretty stringent guarantees of accuracy: - the code requires that we hit each 256-counter block at least 50 times, so the TSC error is basically at *MOST* just a few PIT cycles off in any direction. In practice, it's going to be about one microseconds off (which is how long it takes to read the counter) - so over 17920 PIT cycles, we can pretty much guarantee that the calibration error is less than one half of a percent. My testing bears this out: on my machine, the quick-calibration reports 2934.085kHz, while the slow one reports 2933.415. Yes, the slower calibration is still more precise. For me, the slow calibration is stable to within about one hundreth of a percent, so it's (at a guess) roughly an order-and-a-half of magnitude more precise. The longer you wait, the more precise you can be. However, the nice thing about the fast TSC PIT synchronization is that it's pretty much _guaranteed_ to give that 0.5% precision, and fail gracefully (and very quickly) if it doesn't get it. And it really is fairly simple (even if there's a lot of _details_ there, and I didn't get all of those right ont he first try or even the second ;) The patch says "110 insertions", but 63 of those new lines are actually comments.

Fast TSC calibration: calculate proper frequency error bounds In order for ntpd to correctly synchronize the clocks, the frequency of the system clock must not be off by more than 500 ppm (or, put another way, 1:2000), or ntpd will end up giving up on trying to synchronize properly, and ends up reseting the clock in jumps instead. The fast TSC PIT calibration sometimes failed this test - it was assuming that the PIT reads always took about one microsecond each (2us for the two reads to get a 16-bit timer), and that calibrating TSC to the PIT over 15ms should thus be sufficient to get much closer than 500ppm (max 2us error on both sides giving 4us over 15ms: a 270 ppm error value). However, that assumption does not always hold: apparently some hardware is either very much slower at reading the PIT registers, or there was other noise causing at least one machine to get 700+ ppm errors. So instead of using a fixed 15ms timing loop, this changes the fast PIT calibration to read the TSC delta over the individual PIT timer reads, and use the result to calculate the error bars on the PIT read timing properly. We then successfully calibrate the TSC only if the maximum error bars fall below 500ppm. In the process, we also relax the timing to allow up to 25ms for the calibration, although it can happen much faster depending on hardware.

x86, tsc: Fix SMI induced variation in quick_pit_calibrate() pit_expect_msb() returns success wrongly in the below SMI scenario: a. pit_verify_msb() has not yet seen the MSB transition. b. we are close to the MSB transition though and got a SMI immediately after returning from pit_verify_msb() which didn't see the MSB transition. PIT MSB transition has happened somewhere during SMI execution. c. returned from SMI and we noted down the 'tsc', saw the pit MSB change now and exited the loop to calculate 'deltatsc'. Instead of noting the TSC at the MSB transition, we are way off because of the SMI. And as the SMI happened between the pit_verify_msb() and before the 'tsc' is recorded in the for loop, 'delattsc' (d1/d2 in quick_pit_calibrate()) will be small and quick_pit_calibrate() will not notice this error. Depending on whether SMI disturbance happens while computing d1 or d2, we will see the TSC calibrated value smaller or bigger than the expected value. As a result, in a cluster we were seeing a variation of approximately +/- 20MHz in the calibrated values, resulting in NTP failures. [ As far as the SMI source is concerned, this is a periodic SMI that gets disabled after ACPI is enabled by the OS. But the TSC calibration happens before the ACPI is enabled. ] To address this, change pit_expect_msb() so that - the 'tsc' is the TSC in between the two reads that read the MSB change from the PIT (same as before) - the 'delta' is the difference in TSC from *before* the MSB changed to *after* the MSB changed. Now the delta is twice as big as before (it covers four PIT accesses, roughly 4us) and quick_pit_calibrate() will loop a bit longer to get the calibrated value with in the 500ppm precision. As the delta (d1/d2) covers four PIT accesses, actual calibrated result might be closer to 250ppm precision. As the loop now takes longer to stabilize, double MAX_QUICK_PIT_MS to 50. SMI disturbance will showup as much larger delta's and the loop will take longer than usual for the result to be with in the accepted precision. Or will fallback to slow PIT calibration if it takes more than 50msec. Also while we are at this, remove the calibration correction that aims to get the result to the middle of the error bars. We really don't know which direction to correct into, so remove it.

[x86] Fix TSC calibration issues Larry Finger reported at http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/1/90: An ancient laptop of mine started throwing errors from b43legacy when I started using 2.6.27 on it. This has been bisected to commit bfc0f59 "x86: merge tsc calibration". The unification of the TSC code adopted mostly the 64bit code, which prefers PMTIMER/HPET over the PIT calibration. Larrys system has an AMD K6 CPU. Such systems are known to have PMTIMER incarnations which run at double speed. This results in a miscalibration of the TSC by factor 0.5. So the resulting calibrated CPU/TSC speed is half of the real CPU speed, which means that the TSC based delay loop will run half the time it should run. That might explain why the b43legacy driver went berserk. On the other hand we know about systems, where the PIT based calibration results in random crap due to heavy SMI/SMM disturbance. On those systems the PMTIMER/HPET based calibration logic with SMI detection shows better results. According to Alok also virtualized systems suffer from the PIT calibration method. The solution is to use a more wreckage aware aproach than the current either/or decision. 1) reimplement the retry loop which was dropped from the 32bit code during the merge. It repeats the calibration and selects the lowest frequency value as this is probably the closest estimate to the real frequency 2) Monitor the delta of the TSC values in the delay loop which waits for the PIT counter to reach zero. If the maximum value is significantly different from the minimum, then we have a pretty safe indicator that the loop was disturbed by an SMI. 3) keep the pmtimer/hpet reference as a backup solution for systems where the SMI disturbance is a permanent point of failure for PIT based calibration 4) do the loop iteration for both methods, record the lowest value and decide after all iterations finished. 5) Set a clear preference to PIT based calibration when the result makes sense. The implementation does the reference calibration based on HPET/PMTIMER around the delay, which is necessary for the PIT anyway, but keeps separate TSC values to ensure the "independency" of the resulting calibration values. Tested on various 32bit/64bit machines including Geode 266Mhz, AMD K6 (affected machine with a double speed pmtimer which I grabbed out of the dump), Pentium class machines and AMD/Intel 64 bit boxen.

[x86] Fix TSC calibration issues Larry Finger reported at http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/1/90: An ancient laptop of mine started throwing errors from b43legacy when I started using 2.6.27 on it. This has been bisected to commit bfc0f59 "x86: merge tsc calibration". The unification of the TSC code adopted mostly the 64bit code, which prefers PMTIMER/HPET over the PIT calibration. Larrys system has an AMD K6 CPU. Such systems are known to have PMTIMER incarnations which run at double speed. This results in a miscalibration of the TSC by factor 0.5. So the resulting calibrated CPU/TSC speed is half of the real CPU speed, which means that the TSC based delay loop will run half the time it should run. That might explain why the b43legacy driver went berserk. On the other hand we know about systems, where the PIT based calibration results in random crap due to heavy SMI/SMM disturbance. On those systems the PMTIMER/HPET based calibration logic with SMI detection shows better results. According to Alok also virtualized systems suffer from the PIT calibration method. The solution is to use a more wreckage aware aproach than the current either/or decision. 1) reimplement the retry loop which was dropped from the 32bit code during the merge. It repeats the calibration and selects the lowest frequency value as this is probably the closest estimate to the real frequency 2) Monitor the delta of the TSC values in the delay loop which waits for the PIT counter to reach zero. If the maximum value is significantly different from the minimum, then we have a pretty safe indicator that the loop was disturbed by an SMI. 3) keep the pmtimer/hpet reference as a backup solution for systems where the SMI disturbance is a permanent point of failure for PIT based calibration 4) do the loop iteration for both methods, record the lowest value and decide after all iterations finished. 5) Set a clear preference to PIT based calibration when the result makes sense. The implementation does the reference calibration based on HPET/PMTIMER around the delay, which is necessary for the PIT anyway, but keeps separate TSC values to ensure the "independency" of the resulting calibration values.

[x86] Fix TSC calibration issues Larry Finger reported at http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/1/90: An ancient laptop of mine started throwing errors from b43legacy when I started using 2.6.27 on it. This has been bisected to commit bfc0f59 "x86: merge tsc calibration". The unification of the TSC code adopted mostly the 64bit code, which prefers PMTIMER/HPET over the PIT calibration. Larrys system has an AMD K6 CPU. Such systems are known to have PMTIMER incarnations which run at double speed. This results in a miscalibration of the TSC by factor 0.5. So the resulting calibrated CPU/TSC speed is half of the real CPU speed, which means that the TSC based delay loop will run half the time it should run. That might explain why the b43legacy driver went berserk. On the other hand we know about systems, where the PIT based calibration results in random crap due to heavy SMI/SMM disturbance. On those systems the PMTIMER/HPET based calibration logic with SMI detection shows better results. According to Alok also virtualized systems suffer from the PIT calibration method. The solution is to use a more wreckage aware aproach than the current either/or decision. 1) reimplement the retry loop which was dropped from the 32bit code during the merge. It repeats the calibration and selects the lowest frequency value as this is probably the closest estimate to the real frequency 2) Monitor the delta of the TSC values in the delay loop which waits for the PIT counter to reach zero. If the maximum value is significantly different from the minimum, then we have a pretty safe indicator that the loop was disturbed by an SMI. 3) keep the pmtimer/hpet reference as a backup solution for systems where the SMI disturbance is a permanent point of failure for PIT based calibration 4) do the loop iteration for both methods, record the lowest value and decide after all iterations finished. 5) Set a clear preference to PIT based calibration when the result makes sense.

So the resulting calibrated CPU/TSC speed is half of the real CPU speed, which means that the TSC based delay loop will run half the time it should run. That might explain why the b43legacy driver went berserk. On the other hand we know about systems, where the PIT based calibration results in random crap due to heavy SMI/SMM disturbance.

The solution is to use a more wreckage aware aproach than the current either/or decision. 1) reimplement the retry loop which was dropped from the 32bit code during the merge. It repeats the calibration and selects the lowest frequency value as this is probably the closest estimate to the real frequency 2) Monitor the delta of the TSC values in the delay loop which waits for the PIT counter to reach zero. If the maximum value is significantly different from the minimum, then we have a pretty safe indicator that the loop was disturbed by an SMI. 3) keep the pmtimer/hpet reference as a backup solution for systems where the SMI disturbance is a permanent point of failure for PIT based calibration 4) do the loop iteration for both methods, record the lowest value and decide after all iterations finished. 5) Set a clear preference to PIT based calibration when the result makes sense.

Along with that have extended this to be used in virtualization environement too. Now we also set this flag if the X86_FEATURE_TSC_RELIABLE bit is set. This is important since there is a wrap-around problem with the acpi_pm timer. The acpi_pm counter is just 24bits and this can overflow in ~4 seconds. With the NO_HZ kernels in virtualized environment, there can be situations when the guest is descheduled for longer duration, as a result we may miss the wrap of the acpi counter. When TSC is used as a clocksource and acpi_pm timer is being used as the watchdog clocksource this error in acpi_pm results in TSC being marked as unstable, and essentially results in time dropping in chunks of 4 seconds whenever this wrap is missed. Since the virtualized TSC is reliable on VMware, we should always use the TSCs clocksource on VMware, so we skip the verfication at runtime, by checking for the feature bit.

x86: delete __cpuinit usage from all x86 files The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c) are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings. As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless. This removes all the arch/x86 uses of the __cpuinit macros from all C files. x86 only had the one __CPUINIT used in assembly files, and it wasn't paired off with a .previous or a __FINIT, so we can delete it directly w/o any corresponding additional change there.

While normal variance of 50-100ppm can easily be seen, the quick calibration code only requires 500ppm accuracy, which is the limit of what NTP can correct for. This can cause problems for systems being used as NTP servers, as every time they reboot it can take hours for them to calculate the new drift error caused by the calibration. The classic trade-off here is calibration accuracy vs slow boot times, as during the calibration nothing else can run. This patch uses a delayed workqueue to calibrate the TSC over the period of a second. This allows very accurate calibration (in my tests only varying by 1khz or 0.4ppm boot to boot). Additionally this refined calibration step does not block the boot process, and only delays the TSC clocksoure registration by a few seconds in early boot. If the refined calibration strays 1% from the early boot calibration value, the system will fall back to already calculated early boot calibration. Credit to Andi Kleen who suggested using a timer quite awhile back, but I dismissed it thinking the timer calibration would be done after the clocksource was registered (which would break things).

x86/timers/apic: Inform TSC deadline clockevent device about recalibration This patch eliminates a source of imprecise APIC timer interrupts, which imprecision may result in double interrupts or even late interrupts. The TSC deadline clockevent devices' configuration and registration happens before the TSC frequency calibration is refined in tsc_refine_calibration_work(). This results in the TSC clocksource and the TSC deadline clockevent devices being configured with slightly different frequencies: the former gets the refined one and the latter are configured with the inaccurate frequency detected earlier by means of the "Fast TSC calibration using PIT". Within the APIC code, introduce the notifier function lapic_update_tsc_freq() which reconfigures all per-CPU TSC deadline clockevent devices with the current tsc_khz. Call it from the TSC code after TSC calibration refinement has happened.

x86/tsc: Redefine notsc to behave as tsc=unstable Currently, the notsc kernel parameter disables the use of the TSC by sched_clock(). However, this parameter does not prevent the kernel from accessing tsc in other places. The only rationale to boot with notsc is to avoid timing discrepancies on multi-socket systems where TSC are not properly synchronized, and thus exclude TSC from being used for time keeping. But that prevents using TSC as sched_clock() as well, which is not necessary as the core sched_clock() implementation can handle non synchronized TSC based sched clocks just fine. However, there is another method to solve the above problem: booting with tsc=unstable parameter. This parameter allows sched_clock() to use TSC and just excludes it from timekeeping. So there is no real reason to keep notsc, but for compatibility reasons the parameter has to stay. Make it behave like 'tsc=unstable' instead.

x86: Skip verification by the watchdog for TSC clocksource. Impact: Changes timekeeping on Vmware (or with tsc=reliable). This is achieved by resetting the CLOCKSOURCE_MUST_VERIFY flag. We add a tsc=reliable commandline option to enable this. This enables legacy hardware without HPET, LAPIC, or ACPI timers to enter high-resolution timer mode. Along with that have extended this to be used in virtualization environement too. Now we also set this flag if the X86_FEATURE_TSC_RELIABLE bit is set. This is important since there is a wrap-around problem with the acpi_pm timer. The acpi_pm counter is just 24bits and this can overflow in ~4 seconds. With the NO_HZ kernels in virtualized environment, there can be situations when the guest is descheduled for longer duration, as a result we may miss the wrap of the acpi counter. When TSC is used as a clocksource and acpi_pm timer is being used as the watchdog clocksource this error in acpi_pm results in TSC being marked as unstable, and essentially results in time dropping in chunks of 4 seconds whenever this wrap is missed. Since the virtualized TSC is reliable on VMware, we should always use the TSCs clocksource on VMware, so we skip the verfication at runtime, by checking for the feature bit. Since we reset the flag for mgeode systems too, i have combined the mgeode case with the feature bit check.

x86: Improve TSC calibration using a delayed workqueue Boot to boot the TSC calibration may vary by quite a large amount. While normal variance of 50-100ppm can easily be seen, the quick calibration code only requires 500ppm accuracy, which is the limit of what NTP can correct for. This can cause problems for systems being used as NTP servers, as every time they reboot it can take hours for them to calculate the new drift error caused by the calibration. The classic trade-off here is calibration accuracy vs slow boot times, as during the calibration nothing else can run. This patch uses a delayed workqueue to calibrate the TSC over the period of a second. This allows very accurate calibration (in my tests only varying by 1khz or 0.4ppm boot to boot). Additionally this refined calibration step does not block the boot process, and only delays the TSC clocksoure registration by a few seconds in early boot. If the refined calibration strays 1% from the early boot calibration value, the system will fall back to already calculated early boot calibration. Credit to Andi Kleen who suggested using a timer quite awhile back, but I dismissed it thinking the timer calibration would be done after the clocksource was registered (which would break things). Forgive me for my short-sightedness. This patch has worked very well in my testing, but TSC hardware is quite varied so it would probably be good to get some extended testing, possibly pushing inclusion out to 2.6.39.

x86/tsc: Fix UV TSC initialization The recent rework of the TSC calibration code introduced a regression on UV systems as it added a call to tsc_early_init() which initializes the TSC ADJUST values before acpi_boot_table_init(). In the case of UV systems, that is a necessary step that calls uv_system_init(). This informs tsc_sanitize_first_cpu() that the kernel runs on a platform with async TSC resets as documented in commit 341102c3ef29 ("x86/tsc: Add option that TSC on Socket 0 being non-zero is valid") Fix it by skipping the early tsc initialization on UV systems and let TSC init tests take place later in tsc_init().

x86: delete __cpuinit usage from all x86 files The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c) are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings. As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless. This removes all the arch/x86 uses of the __cpuinit macros from all C files. x86 only had the one __CPUINIT used in assembly files, and it wasn't paired off with a .previous or a __FINIT, so we can delete it directly w/o any corresponding additional change there.

x86/tsc: Redefine notsc to behave as tsc=unstable Currently, the notsc kernel parameter disables the use of the TSC by sched_clock(). However, this parameter does not prevent the kernel from accessing tsc in other places. The only rationale to boot with notsc is to avoid timing discrepancies on multi-socket systems where TSC are not properly synchronized, and thus exclude TSC from being used for time keeping. But that prevents using TSC as sched_clock() as well, which is not necessary as the core sched_clock() implementation can handle non synchronized TSC based sched clocks just fine. However, there is another method to solve the above problem: booting with tsc=unstable parameter. This parameter allows sched_clock() to use TSC and just excludes it from timekeeping. So there is no real reason to keep notsc, but for compatibility reasons the parameter has to stay. Make it behave like 'tsc=unstable' instead.
