Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Time and clocksource/clockevent related updates:
Core changes:
- Infrastructure to support per CPU "broadcast" devices for per CPU
clockevent devices which stop in deep idle states. This allows us
to utilize the more efficient architected timer on certain ARM SoCs
for normal operation instead of permanentely using the slow to
access SoC specific clockevent device.
- Print the name of the broadcast/wakeup device in /proc/timer_list
- Make the clocksource watchdog more robust against delays between
reading the current active clocksource and the watchdog
clocksource. Such delays can be caused by NMIs, SMIs and vCPU
preemption.
Handle this by reading the watchdog clocksource twice, i.e. before
and after reading the current active clocksource. In case that the
two watchdog reads shows an excessive time delta, the read sequence
is repeated up to 3 times.
- Improve the debug output and add a test module for the watchdog
mechanism.
- Reimplementation of the venerable time64_to_tm() function with a
faster and significantly smaller version. Straight from the source,
i.e. the author of the related research paper contributed this!
Driver changes:
- No new drivers, not even new device tree bindings!

Pull irq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Updates for the interrupt subsystem:
Core changes:
- Cleanup and simplification of common code to invoke the low level
interrupt flow handlers when this invocation requires irqdomain
resolution. Add the necessary core infrastructure.
- Provide a proper interface for modular PMU drivers to set the

- Add a request flag which allows to exclude interrupts from spurious
interrupt detection. Useful especially for IPI handlers which
always return IRQ_HANDLED which turns the spurious interrupt
detection into a pointless waste of CPU cycles.

Pull CPU hotplug fix from Thomas Gleixner:
"A fix for the CPU hotplug and cpusets interaction:
cpusets delegate the hotplug work to a workqueue to prevent a lock
order inversion vs. the CPU hotplug lock. The work is not flushed

This introduces a new sysctl vm.percpu_pagelist_high_fraction. It is
similar to the old vm.percpu_pagelist_fraction. The old sysctl increased
both pcp->batch and pcp->high with the higher pcp->high potentially
reducing zone->lock contention. However, the higher pcp->batch value also
potentially increased allocation latency while the PCP was refilled. This
sysctl only adjusts pcp->high so that zone->lock contention is potentially
reduced but allocation latency during a PCP refill remains the same.

# sysctl vm.percpu_pagelist_high_fraction=8

Patch series "Calculate pcp->high based on zone sizes and active CPUs", v2.
The per-cpu page allocator (PCP) is meant to reduce contention on the zone
lock but the sizing of batch and high is archaic and neither takes the
zone size into account or the number of CPUs local to a zone. With larger
zones and more CPUs per node, the contention is getting worse.
Furthermore, the fact that vm.percpu_pagelist_fraction adjusts both batch
and high values means that the sysctl can reduce zone lock contention but
also increase allocation latencies.
This series disassociates pcp->high from pcp->batch and then scales
pcp->high based on the size of the local zone with limited impact to
reclaim and accounting for active CPUs but leaves pcp->batch static. It
also adapts the number of pages that can be on the pcp list based on
recent freeing patterns.
The motivation is partially to adjust to larger memory sizes but is also
driven by the fact that large batches of page freeing via release_pages()
often shows zone contention as a major part of the problem. Another is a
bug report based on an older kernel where a multi-terabyte process can
takes several minutes to exit. A workaround was to use
vm.percpu_pagelist_fraction to increase the pcp->high value but testing
indicated that a production workload could not use the same values because
of an increase in allocation latencies. Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce
this test case myself as the multi-terabyte machines are in active use but
it should alleviate the problem.
The series aims to address both and partially acts as a pre-requisite.
pcp only works with order-0 which is useless for SLUB (when using high
orders) and THP (unconditionally). To store high-order pages on PCP, the
pcp->high values need to be increased first.
This patch (of 6):
The vm.percpu_pagelist_fraction is used to increase the batch and high
limits for the per-cpu page allocator (PCP). The intent behind the sysctl
is to reduce zone lock acquisition when allocating/freeing pages but it
has a problem. While it can decrease contention, it can also increase
latency on the allocation side due to unreasonably large batch sizes.
This leads to games where an administrator adjusts
percpu_pagelist_fraction on the fly to work around contention and
allocation latency problems.
This series aims to alleviate the problems with zone lock contention while
avoiding the allocation-side latency problems. For the purposes of
review, it's easier to remove this sysctl now and reintroduce a similar
sysctl later in the series that deals only with pcp->high.

Patch series "perf/binfmt/mm: remove in-tree usage of MAP_EXECUTABLE".
Stumbling over the history of MAP_EXECUTABLE, I noticed that we still have
some in-tree users that we can get rid of.
This patch (of 3):
Before commit e9714acf8c43 ("mm: kill vma flag VM_EXECUTABLE and
mm->num_exe_file_vmas"), VM_EXECUTABLE indicated MAP_EXECUTABLE.
MAP_EXECUTABLE is nowadays essentially ignored by the kernel and does not
relate to VM_MAYEXEC.

The current code only associates with the existing blkcg when aio is used
to access the backing file. This patch covers all types of i/o to the
backing file and also associates the memcg so if the backing file is on
tmpfs, memory is charged appropriately.
This patch also exports cgroup_get_e_css and int_active_memcg so it can be
used by the loop module.

has_pinned 32bit can be packed in the MMF_HAS_PINNED bit as a noop
cleanup.
Any atomic_inc/dec to the mm cacheline shared by all threads in pin-fast
would reintroduce a loss of SMP scalability to pin-fast, so there's no
future potential usefulness to keep an atomic in the mm for this.
set_bit(MMF_HAS_PINNED) will be theoretically a bit slower than WRITE_ONCE
(atomic_set is equivalent to WRITE_ONCE), but the set_bit (just like
atomic_set after this commit) has to be still issued only once per "mm",
so the difference between the two will be lost in the noise.
will-it-scale "mmap2" shows no change in performance with enterprise
config as expected.
will-it-scale "pin_fast" retains the > 4000% SMP scalability performance
improvement against upstream as expected.
This is a noop as far as overall performance and SMP scalability are
concerned.

kthread_cancel_delayed_work_sync()
kthread_mod_delayed_work() might race with
kthread_cancel_delayed_work_sync() or another kthread_mod_delayed_work()
call. The function lets the other operation win when it sees
work->canceling counter set. And it returns @false.
But it should return @true as it is done by the related workqueue API, see
mod_delayed_work_on().
The reason is that the return value might be used for reference counting.
It has to distinguish the case when the number of queued works has changed
or stayed the same.
The change is safe. kthread_mod_delayed_work() return value is not

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
"There's a reasonable amount here and the juicy details are all below.
It's worth noting that the MTE/KASAN changes strayed outside of our
usual directories due to core mm changes and some associated changes
to some other architectures; Andrew asked for us to carry these [1]
rather that take them via the -mm tree.
Summary:
- Optimise SVE switching for CPUs with 128-bit implementations.
- Fix output format from SVE selftest.
- Add support for versions v1.2 and 1.3 of the SMC calling
convention.
- Allow Pointer Authentication to be configured independently for
kernel and userspace.
- PMU driver cleanups for managing IRQ affinity and exposing event
attributes via sysfs.
- KASAN optimisations for both hardware tagging (MTE) and out-of-line
software tagging implementations.
- Relax frame record alignment requirements to facilitate 8-byte
alignment with KASAN and Clang.
- Cleanup of page-table definitions and removal of unused memory
types.
- Reduction of ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN back to 64 bytes.
- Refactoring of our instruction decoding routines and addition of
some missing encodings.
- Move entry code moved into C and hardened against harmful compiler
instrumentation.
- Update booting requirements for the FEAT_HCX feature, added to v8.7
of the architecture.
- Fix resume from idle when pNMI is being used.
- Additional CPU sanity checks for MTE and preparatory changes for
systems where not all of the CPUs support 32-bit EL0.
- Update our kernel string routines to the latest Cortex Strings
implementation.
- Big cleanup of our cache maintenance routines, which were
confusingly named and inconsistent in their implementations.
- Tweak linker flags so that GDB can understand vmlinux when using
RELR relocations.
- Boot path cleanups to enable early initialisation of per-cpu
operations needed by KCSAN.
- Non-critical fixes and miscellaneous cleanup"

Alban Crequy reported a race condition userspace faces when we want to
add some fds and make the syscall return them[1] using seccomp notify.
The problem is that currently two different ioctl() calls are needed by
the process handling the syscalls (agent) for another userspace process
(target): SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_ADDFD to allocate the fd and
SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_SEND to return that value. Therefore, it is possible
for the agent to do the first ioctl to add a file descriptor but the
target is interrupted (EINTR) before the agent does the second ioctl()
call.
This patch adds a flag to the ADDFD ioctl() so it adds the fd and
returns that value atomically to the target program, as suggested by
Kees Cook[2]. This is done by simply allowing
seccomp_do_user_notification() to add the fd and return it in this case.
Therefore, in this case the target wakes up from the wait in
seccomp_do_user_notification() either to interrupt the syscall or to add
the fd and return it.
This "allocate an fd and return" functionality is useful for syscalls
that return a file descriptor only, like connect(2). Other syscalls that
return a file descriptor but not as return value (or return more than
one fd), like socketpair(), pipe(), recvmsg with SCM_RIGHTs, will not
work with this flag.
This effectively combines SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_ADDFD and
SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_SEND into an atomic opteration. The notification's
return value, nor error can be set by the user. Upon successful invocation
of the SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_ADDFD ioctl with the SECCOMP_ADDFD_FLAG_SEND
flag, the notifying process's errno will be 0, and the return value will
be the file descriptor number that was installed.

Pull scheduler udpates from Ingo Molnar:
- Changes to core scheduling facilities:
- Add "Core Scheduling" via CONFIG_SCHED_CORE=y, which enables
coordinated scheduling across SMT siblings. This is a much
requested feature for cloud computing platforms, to allow the
flexible utilization of SMT siblings, without exposing untrusted
domains to information leaks & side channels, plus to ensure more
deterministic computing performance on SMT systems used by
heterogenous workloads.
There are new prctls to set core scheduling groups, which allows
more flexible management of workloads that can share siblings.
- Fix task->state access anti-patterns that may result in missed
wakeups and rename it to ->__state in the process to catch new
abuses.
- Load-balancing changes:
- Tweak newidle_balance for fair-sched, to improve 'memcache'-like
workloads.
- "Age" (decay) average idle time, to better track & improve
workloads such as 'tbench'.
- Fix & improve energy-aware (EAS) balancing logic & metrics.
- Fix & improve the uclamp metrics.
- Fix task migration (taskset) corner case on !CONFIG_CPUSET.
- Fix RT and deadline utilization tracking across policy changes
- Introduce a "burstable" CFS controller via cgroups, which allows
bursty CPU-bound workloads to borrow a bit against their future
quota to improve overall latencies & batching. Can be tweaked via
/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/<X>/cpu.cfs_burst_us.
- Rework assymetric topology/capacity detection & handling.
- Scheduler statistics & tooling:
- Disable delayacct by default, but add a sysctl to enable it at
runtime if tooling needs it. Use static keys and other
optimizations to make it more palatable.
- Use sched_clock() in delayacct, instead of ktime_get_ns().
- Misc cleanups and fixes.

This reverts commits 4bad58ebc8bc4f20d89cff95417c9b4674769709 (and
399f8dd9a866e107639eabd3c1979cd526ca3a98, which tried to fix it).
I do not believe these are correct, and I'm about to release 5.13, so am
reverting them out of an abundance of caution.
The locking is odd, and appears broken.
On the allocation side (in __sigqueue_alloc()), the locking is somewhat
straightforward: it depends on sighand->siglock. Since one caller
doesn't hold that lock, it further then tests 'sigqueue_flags' to avoid
the case with no locks held.
On the freeing side (in sigqueue_cache_or_free()), there is no locking
at all, and the logic instead depends on 'current' being a single
thread, and not able to race with itself.
To make things more exciting, there's also the data race between freeing
a signal and allocating one, which is handled by using WRITE_ONCE() and
READ_ONCE(), and being mutually exclusive wrt the initial state (ie
freeing will only free if the old state was NULL, while allocating will
obviously only use the value if it was non-NULL, so only one or the
other will actually act on the value).
However, while the free->alloc paths do seem mutually exclusive thanks
to just the data value dependency, it's not clear what the memory
ordering constraints are on it. Could writes from the previous
allocation possibly be delayed and seen by the new allocation later,
causing logical inconsistencies?
So it's all very exciting and unusual.
And in particular, it seems that the freeing side is incorrect in
depending on "current" being single-threaded. Yes, 'current' is a
single thread, but in the presense of asynchronous events even a single
thread can have data races.
And such asynchronous events can and do happen, with interrupts causing
signals to be flushed and thus free'd (for example - sending a
SIGCONT/SIGSTOP can happen from interrupt context, and can flush
previously queued process control signals).
So regardless of all the other questions about the memory ordering and
locking for this new cached allocation, the sigqueue_cache_or_free()
assumptions seem to be fundamentally incorrect.
It may be that people will show me the errors of my ways, and tell me
why this is all safe after all. We can reinstate it if so. But my
current belief is that the WRITE_ONCE() that sets the cached entry needs
to be a smp_store_release(), and the READ_ONCE() that finds a cached
entry needs to be a smp_load_acquire() to handle memory ordering
correctly.
And the sequence in sigqueue_cache_or_free() would need to either use a
lock or at least be interrupt-safe some way (perhaps by using something
like the percpu 'cmpxchg': it doesn't need to be SMP-safe, but like the
percpu operations it needs to be interrupt-safe).

If more than one futex is placed on a shmem huge page, it can happen
that waking the second wakes the first instead, and leaves the second
waiting: the key's shared.pgoff is wrong.
When 3.11 commit 13d60f4b6ab5 ("futex: Take hugepages into account when
generating futex_key"), the only shared huge pages came from hugetlbfs,
and the code added to deal with its exceptional page->index was put into
hugetlb source. Then that was missed when 4.8 added shmem huge pages.
page_to_pgoff() is what others use for this nowadays: except that, as
currently written, it gives the right answer on hugetlbfs head, but
nonsense on hugetlbfs tails. Fix that by calling hugetlbfs-specific
hugetlb_basepage_index() on PageHuge tails as well as on head.
Yes, it's unconventional to declare hugetlb_basepage_index() there in
pagemap.h, rather than in hugetlb.h; but I do not expect anything but
page_to_pgoff() ever to need it.
[akpm@linux-foundation.org: give hugetlb_basepage_index() prototype the correct scope]

It is caused by the following race between kthread_mod_delayed_work()
and kthread_cancel_delayed_work_sync():

// flush_work is put at the tail of the dwork
wait_for_completion()
Context: IRQ
kthread_delayed_work_timer_fn()
spin_lock()
list_del_init(&work->node);
spin_unlock()
BANG: flush_work is not longer linked and will never get proceed.
The problem is that kthread_mod_delayed_work() checks work->canceling
flag before canceling the timer.
A simple solution is to (re)check work->canceling after
__kthread_cancel_work(). But then it is not clear what should be
returned when __kthread_cancel_work() removed the work from the queue
(list) and it can't queue it again with the new @delay.
The return value might be used for reference counting. The caller has
to know whether a new work has been queued or an existing one was
replaced.
The proper solution is that kthread_mod_delayed_work() will remove the
work from the queue (list) _only_ when work->canceling is not set. The
flag must be checked after the timer is stopped and the remaining
operations can be done under worker->lock.
Note that kthread_mod_delayed_work() could remove the timer and then
bail out. It is fine. The other canceling caller needs to cancel the
timer as well. The important thing is that the queue (list)
manipulation is done atomically under worker->lock.

The current implementation of time64_to_tm() contains unnecessary loops,
branches and look-up tables. The new one uses an arithmetic-based algorithm
appeared in [1] and is approximately 3x faster (YMMV).
The drawback is that the new code isn't intuitive and contains many 'magic
numbers' (not unusual for this type of algorithm). However, [1] justifies
all those numbers and, given this function's history, the code is unlikely
to need much maintenance, if any at all.
Add a KUnit test for it which checks every day in a 160,000 years interval
centered at 1970-01-01 against the expected result.

Currently the CPU capacity asymmetry detection, performed through
asym_cpu_capacity_level, tries to identify the lowest topology level
at which the highest CPU capacity is being observed, not necessarily
finding the level at which all possible capacity values are visible
to all CPUs, which might be bit problematic for some possible/valid
asymmetric topologies i.e.:
DIE [ ]
MC [ ][ ]
CPU [0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
Capacity |.....| |.....| |.....| |.....|
L M B B
Where:
arch_scale_cpu_capacity(L) = 512
arch_scale_cpu_capacity(M) = 871
arch_scale_cpu_capacity(B) = 1024
In this particular case, the asymmetric topology level will point
at MC, as all possible CPU masks for that level do cover the CPU
with the highest capacity. It will work just fine for the first
cluster, not so much for the second one though (consider the
find_energy_efficient_cpu which might end up attempting the energy
aware wake-up for a domain that does not see any asymmetry at all)
Rework the way the capacity asymmetry levels are being detected,
allowing to point to the lowest topology level (for a given CPU), where
full set of available CPU capacities is visible to all CPUs within given
domain. As a result, the per-cpu sd_asym_cpucapacity might differ across
the domains. This will have an impact on EAS wake-up placement in a way
that it might see different range of CPUs to be considered, depending on
the given current and target CPUs.
Additionally, those levels, where any range of asymmetry (not
necessarily full) is being detected will get identified as well.
The selected asymmetric topology level will be denoted by
SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY_FULL sched domain flag whereas the 'sub-levels'
would receive the already used SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY flag. This allows
maintaining the current behaviour for asymmetric topologies, with
misfit migration operating correctly on lower levels, if applicable,
as any asymmetry is enough to trigger the misfit migration.
The logic there relies on the SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY flag and does not
relate to the full asymmetry level denoted by the sd_asym_cpucapacity
pointer.
Detecting the CPU capacity asymmetry is being based on a set of
available CPU capacities for all possible CPUs. This data is being
generated upon init and updated once CPU topology changes are being
detected (through arch_update_cpu_topology). As such, any changes
to identified CPU capacities (like initializing cpufreq) need to be
explicitly advertised by corresponding archs to trigger rebuilding
the data.
Additional -dflags- parameter, used when building sched domains, has
been removed as well, as the asymmetry flags are now being set directly
in sd_init.

Race detected between psi_trigger_destroy/create as shown below, which
cause panic by accessing invalid psi_system->poll_wait->wait_queue_entry
and psi_system->poll_timer->entry->next. Under this modification, the
race window is removed by initialising poll_wait and poll_timer in
group_init which are executed only once at beginning.
psi_trigger_destroy() psi_trigger_create()
mutex_lock(trigger_lock);
rcu_assign_pointer(poll_task, NULL);
mutex_unlock(trigger_lock);
mutex_lock(trigger_lock);
if (!rcu_access_pointer(group->poll_task)) {
timer_setup(poll_timer, poll_timer_fn, 0);
rcu_assign_pointer(poll_task, task);
}
mutex_unlock(trigger_lock);
synchronize_rcu();
del_timer_sync(poll_timer); <-- poll_timer has been reinitialized by
psi_trigger_create()
So, trigger_lock/RCU correctly protects destruction of
group->poll_task but misses this race affecting poll_timer and
poll_wait.

The CFS bandwidth controller limits CPU requests of a task group to
quota during each period. However, parallel workloads might be bursty
so that they get throttled even when their average utilization is under
quota. And they are latency sensitive at the same time so that
throttling them is undesired.
We borrow time now against our future underrun, at the cost of increased
interference against the other system users. All nicely bounded.
Traditional (UP-EDF) bandwidth control is something like:
(U = \Sum u_i) <= 1
This guaranteeds both that every deadline is met and that the system is
stable. After all, if U were > 1, then for every second of walltime,
we'd have to run more than a second of program time, and obviously miss
our deadline, but the next deadline will be further out still, there is
never time to catch up, unbounded fail.
This work observes that a workload doesn't always executes the full
quota; this enables one to describe u_i as a statistical distribution.
For example, have u_i = {x,e}_i, where x is the p(95) and x+e p(100)
(the traditional WCET). This effectively allows u to be smaller,
increasing the efficiency (we can pack more tasks in the system), but at
the cost of missing deadlines when all the odds line up. However, it
does maintain stability, since every overrun must be paired with an
underrun as long as our x is above the average.
That is, suppose we have 2 tasks, both specify a p(95) value, then we
have a p(95)*p(95) = 90.25% chance both tasks are within their quota and
everything is good. At the same time we have a p(5)p(5) = 0.25% chance
both tasks will exceed their quota at the same time (guaranteed deadline
fail). Somewhere in between there's a threshold where one exceeds and
the other doesn't underrun enough to compensate; this depends on the
specific CDFs.
At the same time, we can say that the worst case deadline miss, will be
\Sum e_i; that is, there is a bounded tardiness (under the assumption
that x+e is indeed WCET).
The benefit of burst is seen when testing with schbench. Default value of
kernel.sched_cfs_bandwidth_slice_us(5ms) and CONFIG_HZ(1000) is used.
mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test
echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test/cgroup.procs
echo 100000 > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test/cpu.cfs_quota_us
echo 100000 > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test/cpu.cfs_burst_us
./schbench -m 1 -t 3 -r 20 -c 80000 -R 10
The average CPU usage is at 80%. I run this for 10 times, and got long tail
latency for 6 times and got throttled for 8 times.
Tail latencies are shown below, and it wasn't the worst case.
Latency percentiles (usec)
50.0000th: 19872
75.0000th: 21344
90.0000th: 22176
95.0000th: 22496
*99.0000th: 22752
99.5000th: 22752

rps: 9.90 p95 (usec) 22496 p99 (usec) 22752 p95/cputime 28.12% p99/cputime 28.44%
The interferenece when using burst is valued by the possibilities for
missing the deadline and the average WCET. Test results showed that when
there many cgroups or CPU is under utilized, the interference is
limited. More details are shown in:

On HETEROGENEOUS hardware (ARM big.Little, Intel Alderlake etc.) each
CPU might have a different hardware PMU. Since each such PMU is
represented by a different struct pmu, but we only have a single HW
task context.
That means that the task context needs to switch PMU type when it
switches CPUs.
Not doing this means that ctx->pmu calls (pmu_{dis,en}able(),
{start,commit,cancel}_txn() etc.) are called against the wrong PMU and
things will go wobbly.

When the clocksource watchdog marks a clock as unstable, this might
be due to that clock being unstable or it might be due to delays that
happen to occur between the reads of the two clocks. It would be good
to have a way of testing the clocksource watchdog's ability to
distinguish between these two causes of clock skew and instability.
Therefore, provide a new clocksource-wdtest module selected by a new
TEST_CLOCKSOURCE_WATCHDOG Kconfig option. This module has a single module
parameter named "holdoff" that provides the number of seconds of delay
before testing should start, which defaults to zero when built as a module
and to 10 seconds when built directly into the kernel. Very large systems
that boot slowly may need to increase the value of this module parameter.
This module uses hand-crafted clocksource structures to do its testing,
thus avoiding messing up timing for the rest of the kernel and for user
applications. This module first verifies that the ->uncertainty_margin
field of the clocksource structures are set sanely. It then tests the
delay-detection capability of the clocksource watchdog, increasing the
number of consecutive delays injected, first provoking console messages
complaining about the delays and finally forcing a clock-skew event.
Unexpected test results cause at least one WARN_ON_ONCE() console splat.
If there are no splats, the test has passed. Finally, it fuzzes the
value returned from a clocksource to test the clocksource watchdog's
ability to detect time skew.
This module checks the state of its clocksource after each test, and
uses WARN_ON_ONCE() to emit a console splat if there are any failures.
This should enable all types of test frameworks to detect any such
failures.
This facility is intended for diagnostic use only, and should be avoided
on production systems.

Currently, WATCHDOG_THRESHOLD is set to detect a 62.5-millisecond skew in
a 500-millisecond WATCHDOG_INTERVAL. This requires that clocks be skewed
by more than 12.5% in order to be marked unstable. Except that a clock
that is skewed by that much is probably destroying unsuspecting software
right and left. And given that there are now checks for false-positive
skews due to delays between reading the two clocks, it should be possible
to greatly decrease WATCHDOG_THRESHOLD, at least for fine-grained clocks
such as TSC.
Therefore, add a new uncertainty_margin field to the clocksource structure
that contains the maximum uncertainty in nanoseconds for the corresponding
clock. This field may be initialized manually, as it is for
clocksource_tsc_early and clocksource_jiffies, which is copied to
refined_jiffies. If the field is not initialized manually, it will be
computed at clock-registry time as the period of the clock in question
based on the scale and freq parameters to __clocksource_update_freq_scale()
function. If either of those two parameters are zero, the
tens-of-milliseconds WATCHDOG_THRESHOLD is used as a cowardly alternative
to dividing by zero. No matter how the uncertainty_margin field is
calculated, it is bounded below by twice WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW, that is, by 100
microseconds.
Note that manually initialized uncertainty_margin fields are not adjusted,
but there is a WARN_ON_ONCE() that triggers if any such field is less than
twice WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW. This WARN_ON_ONCE() is intended to discourage
production use of the one-nanosecond uncertainty_margin values that are
used to test the clock-skew code itself.
The actual clock-skew check uses the sum of the uncertainty_margin fields
of the two clocksource structures being compared. Integer overflow is
avoided because the largest computed value of the uncertainty_margin
fields is one billion (10^9), and double that value fits into an
unsigned int. However, if someone manually specifies (say) UINT_MAX,
they will get what they deserve.
Note that the refined_jiffies uncertainty_margin field is initialized to
TICK_NSEC, which means that skew checks involving this clocksource will
be sufficently forgiving. In a similar vein, the clocksource_tsc_early
uncertainty_margin field is initialized to 32*NSEC_PER_MSEC, which
replicates the current behavior and allows custom setting if needed
in order to address the rare skews detected for this clocksource in
current mainline.
