Ingo Molnar 283cb90305 sched/headers, hrtimer: Remove the <linux/wait.h> include from <linux/hrtimer.h>
In our quest to simplify <linux/sched.h>'s header dependencies, remove
the <linux/wait.h> inclusion from <linux/hrtimer.h> - which does
not appear to be necessary, as hrtimer.h does not use waitqueues.

Kees Cook dfb4357da6 time: Remove CONFIG_TIMER_STATS
Currently CONFIG_TIMER_STATS exposes process information across namespaces:

kernel/time/timer_list.c print_timer():

        SEQ_printf(m, ", %s/%d", tmp, timer->start_pid);

/proc/timer_list:

 #11: <0000000000000000>, hrtimer_wakeup, S:01, do_nanosleep, cron/2570

Given that the tracer can give the same information, this patch entirely
removes CONFIG_TIMER_STATS.

Thomas Gleixner 2456e85535 ktime: Get rid of the union
ktime is a union because the initial implementation stored the time in
scalar nanoseconds on 64 bit machine and in a endianess optimized timespec
variant for 32bit machines. The Y2038 cleanup removed the timespec variant
and switched everything to scalar nanoseconds. The union remained, but
become completely pointless.

Get rid of the union and just keep ktime_t as simple typedef of type s64.

The conversion was done with coccinelle and some manual mopping up.

Thomas Gleixner 27590dc17b hrtimer: Convert to hotplug state machine
Split out the clockevents callbacks instead of piggybacking them on
hrtimers.

This gets rid of a POST_DEAD user. See commit:

  54e88fad22 ("sched: Make sure timers have migrated before killing the migration_thread")

We just move the callback state to the proper place in the state machine.

John Stultz da8b44d5a9 timer: convert timer_slack_ns from unsigned long to u64
This patchset introduces a /proc/<pid>/timerslack_ns interface which
would allow controlling processes to be able to set the timerslack value
on other processes in order to save power by avoiding wakeups (Something
Android currently does via out-of-tree patches).

The first patch tries to fix the internal timer_slack_ns usage which was
defined as a long, which limits the slack range to ~4 seconds on 32bit
systems.  It converts it to a u64, which provides the same basically
unlimited slack (500 years) on both 32bit and 64bit machines.

The second patch introduces the /proc/<pid>/timerslack_ns interface
which allows the full 64bit slack range for a task to be read or set on
both 32bit and 64bit machines.

With these two patches, on a 32bit machine, after setting the slack on
bash to 10 seconds:

$ time sleep 1

real    0m10.747s
user    0m0.001s
sys     0m0.005s

The first patch is a little ugly, since I had to chase the slack delta
arguments through a number of functions converting them to u64s.  Let me
know if it makes sense to break that up more or not.

Other than that things are fairly straightforward.

This patch (of 2):

The timer_slack_ns value in the task struct is currently a unsigned
long.  This means that on 32bit applications, the maximum slack is just
over 4 seconds.  However, on 64bit machines, its much much larger (~500
years).

This disparity could make application development a little (as well as
the default_slack) to a u64.  This means both 32bit and 64bit systems
have the same effective internal slack range.

Now the existing ABI via PR_GET_TIMERSLACK and PR_SET_TIMERSLACK specify
the interface as a unsigned long, so we preserve that limitation on
32bit systems, where SET_TIMERSLACK can only set the slack to a unsigned
long value, and GET_TIMERSLACK will return ULONG_MAX if the slack is
actually larger then what can be stored by an unsigned long.

This patch also modifies hrtimer functions which specified the slack
delta as a unsigned long.

Thomas Gleixner 203cbf77de hrtimer: Handle remaining time proper for TIME_LOW_RES
If CONFIG_TIME_LOW_RES is enabled we add a jiffie to the relative timeout to
prevent short sleeps, but we do not account for that in interfaces which
retrieve the remaining time.

Helge observed that timerfd can return a remaining time larger than the
relative timeout. That's not expected and breaks userland test programs.

Store the information that the timer was armed relative and provide functions
to adjust the remaining time. To avoid bloating the hrtimer struct make state
a u8, which as a bonus results in better code on x86 at least.

Thomas Gleixner 683be13a28 timer: Minimize nohz off overhead
If nohz is disabled on the kernel command line the [hr]timer code
still calls wake_up_nohz_cpu() and tick_nohz_full_cpu(), a pretty

avoid the overhead.

We probably should have a cached value for nohz full in the per cpu
bases as well to avoid the cpumask check. The base cache line is hot
already, the cpumask not necessarily.

Thomas Gleixner bc7a34b8b9 timer: Reduce timer migration overhead if disabled
Eric reported that the timer_migration sysctl is not really nice
performance wise as it needs to check at every timer insertion whether
the feature is enabled or not. Further the check does not live in the
timer code, so we have an extra function call which checks an extra
cache line to figure out that it is disabled.

We can do better and store that information in the per cpu (hr)timer
bases. I pondered to use a static key, but that's a nightmare to
update from the nohz code and the timer base cache line is hot anyway
when we select a timer base.

The old logic enabled the timer migration unconditionally if
CONFIG_NO_HZ was set even if nohz was disabled on the kernel command
line.

With this modification, we start off with migration disabled. The user
visible sysctl is still set to enabled. If the kernel switches to NOHZ
migration is enabled, if the user did not disable it via the sysctl
prior to the switch. If nohz=off is on the kernel command line,
migration stays disabled no matter what.

Peter Zijlstra 887d9dc989 hrtimer: Allow hrtimer::function() to free the timer
Currently an hrtimer callback function cannot free its own timer
because __run_hrtimer() still needs to clear HRTIMER_STATE_CALLBACK
after it. Freeing the timer would result in a clear use-after-free.

Solve this by using a scheme similar to regular timers; track the
current running timer in hrtimer_clock_base::running.

Oleg Nesterov c04dca02bc hrtimer: Remove HRTIMER_STATE_MIGRATE
I do not understand HRTIMER_STATE_MIGRATE. Unless I am totally
confused it looks buggy and simply unneeded.

migrate_hrtimer_list() sets it to keep hrtimer_active() == T, but this
is not enough: this can fool, say, hrtimer_is_queued() in
dequeue_signal().

Can't migrate_hrtimer_list() simply use HRTIMER_STATE_ENQUEUED?
This fixes the race and we can kill STATE_MIGRATE.

Thomas Gleixner c1ad348b45 tick: Nohz: Rework next timer evaluation
The evaluation of the next timer in the nohz code is based on jiffies
while all the tick internals are nano seconds based. We have also to
convert hrtimer nanoseconds to jiffies in the !highres case. That's
just wrong and introduces interesting corner cases.

Turn it around and convert the next timer wheel timer expiry and the
rcu event to clock monotonic and base all calculations on
nanoseconds. That identifies the case where no timer is pending
clearly with an absolute expiry value of KTIME_MAX.

Makes the code more readable and gets rid of the jiffies magic in the
nohz code.

Thomas Gleixner c6eb3f70d4 hrtimer: Get rid of hrtimer softirq
hrtimer softirq is a leftover from the initial implementation and
serves only the purpose to handle the enqueueing of already expired
timers in the high resolution timer mode. We discussed whether we
change the return value and force all start sites to handle that the
timer is already expired, but that would be a Herculean task and I'm
not sure whether its a good idea to enforce that handling on
everyone.

A simpler solution is to enforce a timer interrupt instead of raising
and scheduling a softirq. Just use the existing infrastructure to do
so and remove all the softirq leftovers.

The HRTIMER softirq enum is now unused, but kept around because trace
parsers rely on the existing numbering.

Thomas Gleixner 868a3e915f hrtimer: Make offset update smarter
On every tick/hrtimer interrupt we update the offset variables of the
clock bases. That's silly because these offsets change very seldom.

Add a sequence counter to the time keeping code which keeps track of
the offset updates (clock_was_set()). Have a sequence cache in the
hrtimer cpu bases to evaluate whether the offsets must be updated or
not. This allows us later to avoid pointless cacheline pollution.

Thomas Gleixner 21d6d52a1b hrtimer: Get rid of softirq time
The softirq time field in the clock bases is an optimization from the
early days of hrtimers. It provides a coarse "jiffies" like time
mostly for self rearming timers.

But that comes with a price:
    - Larger code size
    - Extra storage space
    - Duplicated functions with really small differences
   
The benefit of this is optimization is marginal for contemporary
systems.

Consolidate everything on the high resolution timer
implementation. This makes further optimizations possible.

Thomas Gleixner 9bc7491906 hrtimer: Prevent stale expiry time in hrtimer_interrupt()
hrtimer_interrupt() has the following subtle issue:

hrtimer_interrupt()
  lock(cpu_base);
  expires_next = KTIME_MAX;

  expire_timers(CLOCK_MONOTONIC);
  expires = get_next_timer(CLOCK_MONOTONIC);
  if (expires < expires_next)
    expires_next = expires;

  expire_timers(CLOCK_REALTIME);
    unlock(cpu_base);
    wakeup()
    hrtimer_start(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, newtimer);
    lock(cpu_base();  
  expires = get_next_timer(CLOCK_REALTIME);
  if (expires < expires_next)
    expires_next = expires;

So because we already evaluated the next expiring timer of
CLOCK_MONOTONIC we ignore that the expiry time of newtimer might be
earlier than the overall next expiry time in hrtimer_interrupt().

To solve this, remove the caching of the next expiry value from
hrtimer_interrupt() and reevaluate all active clock bases for the next
expiry value. To avoid another code duplication, create a shared
evaluation function and use it for hrtimer_get_next_event(),
hrtimer_force_reprogram() and hrtimer_interrupt().

There is another subtlety in this mechanism:

While hrtimer_interrupt() is running, we want to avoid to touch the
hardware device because we will reprogram it anyway at the end of
hrtimer_interrupt(). This works nicely for hrtimers which get rearmed
via the HRTIMER_RESTART mechanism, because we drop out when the
callback on that CPU is running. But that fails, if a new timer gets
enqueued like in the example above.

This has another implication: While hrtimer_interrupt() is running we
refuse remote enqueueing of timers - see hrtimer_interrupt() and
hrtimer_check_target().

hrtimer_interrupt() tries to prevent this by setting cpu_base->expires
to KTIME_MAX, but that fails if a new timer gets queued.

Prevent both the hardware access and the remote enqueue
explicitely. We can loosen the restriction on the remote enqueue now
due to reevaluation of the next expiry value, but that needs a
seperate patch.

Folded in a fix from Vignesh Radhakrishnan.

Viresh Kumar cddd02489f hrtimer: Store cpu-number in struct hrtimer_cpu_base
In lowres mode, hrtimers are serviced by the tick instead of a clock
event. Now it works well as long as the tick stays periodic but we
must also make sure that the hrtimers are serviced in dynticks mode.

Part of that job consist in kicking a dynticks hrtimer target in order
to make it reconsider the next tick to schedule to correctly handle the
hrtimer's expiring time. And that part isn't handled by the hrtimers
subsystem.

To prepare for fixing this, we need __hrtimer_start_range_ns() to be
able to resolve the CPU target associated to a hrtimer's object
'cpu_base' so that the kick can be centralized there.

So lets store it in the 'struct hrtimer_cpu_base' to resolve the CPU
without overhead. It is set once at CPU's online notification.

does the timekeeping updates.

Provide a new function which denotes it in the hrtimer cpu base
structure of the cpu on which it is called and raise the hrtimer
softirq. We then execute the clock_was_set() notificiation from
softirq context in run_hrtimer_softirq(). The hrtimer softirq is
rarely used, so polling the flag there is not a performance issue.

Thomas Gleixner 68fa61c026 hrtimers: Reorder clock bases
The ordering of the clock bases is historical due to the
CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC constants. Now the hrtimer bases
have their own enumeration due to the gap between CLOCK_MONOTONIC and
CLOCK_BOOTTIME. So we can be more clever as most timers end up on the
CLOCK_MONOTONIC base due to the virtue of POSIX declaring that
relative CLOCK_REALTIME timers are not affected by time changes. In
desktop environments this is slowly changing as applications switch to
absolute timers, but I've observed empty CLOCK_REALTIME bases often
enough. There is no performance penalty or overhead when
CLOCK_REALTIME timers are active, but in case they are not we don't
skip over a full cache line.

Thomas Gleixner 99ee5315da timerfd: Allow timers to be cancelled when clock was set
Some applications must be aware of clock realtime being set
backward. A simple example is a clock applet which arms a timer for
the next minute display. If clock realtime is set backward then the
applet displays a stale time for the amount of time which the clock
was set backwards. Due to that applications poll the time because we
don't have an interface.

Extend the timerfd interface by adding a flag which puts the timer
onto a different internal realtime clock. All timers on this clock are
expired whenever the clock was set.

The timerfd core records the monotonic offset when the timer is
created. When the timer is armed, then the current offset is compared
to the previous recorded offset. When it has changed, then
timerfd_settime returns -ECANCELED. When a timer is read the offset is
compared and if it changed -ECANCELED returned to user space. Periodic
timers are not rearmed in the cancelation case.

to applications system suspend is invisible. However, there is a
growing set of applications that are wanting to be suspend-aware,
but do not want to deal with the complications of CLOCK_REALTIME

For these applications, I propose a new clockid: CLOCK_BOOTTIME.
CLOCK_BOOTTIME is idential to CLOCK_MONOTONIC, except it also
includes any time spent in suspend.

This patch add hrtimer base for CLOCK_BOOTTIME, using
get_monotonic_boottime/ktime_get_boottime, to allow
in kernel users to set timers against.

Carsten Emde 351b3f7a21 hrtimers: Provide schedule_hrtimeout for CLOCK_REALTIME
The current version of schedule_hrtimeout() always uses the
monotonic clock. Some system calls such as mq_timedsend()
and mq_timedreceive(), however, require the use of the wall
clock due to the definition of the system call.

This patch provides the infrastructure to use schedule_hrtimeout() 
with a CLOCK_REALTIME timer.
