headers: remove sched.h from interrupt.h

2009-10-11T18:20:58Z

After m68k's task_thread_info() doesn't refer to current, it's possible to remove sched.h from interrupt.h and not break m68k! Many thanks to Heiko Carstens for allowing this. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan

timekeeping: Fix invalid getboottime() value

2009-08-25T07:09:02Z

Don't use timespec_add_safe() with wall_to_monotonic, because wall_to_monotonic has negative values which will cause overflow in timespec_add_safe(). That makes btime in /proc/stat invalid.

time: Introduce CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE

2009-08-21T19:43:46Z

After talking with some application writers who want very fast, but not fine-grained timestamps, I decided to try to implement new clock_ids to clock_gettime(): CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE and CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE which returns the time at the last tick. This is very fast as we don't have to access any hardware (which can be very painful if you're using something like the acpi_pm clocksource), and we can even use the vdso clock_gettime() method to avoid the syscall. The only trade off is you only get low-res tick grained time resolution. This isn't a new idea, I know Ingo has a patch in the -rt tree that made the vsyscall gettimeofday() return coarse grained time when the vsyscall64 sysctrl was set to 2. However this affects all applications on a system. With this method, applications can choose the proper speed/granularity trade-off for themselves.

timekeeping: Introduce read_boot_clock

2009-08-15T08:55:47Z

Add the new function read_boot_clock to get the exact time the system has been started. For architectures without support for exact boot time a new weak function is added that returns 0. Use the exact boot time to initialize wall_to_monotonic, or xtime if the read_boot_clock returned 0.

timekeeping: Increase granularity of read_persistent_clock()

2009-08-15T08:55:46Z

The persistent clock of some architectures (e.g. s390) have a better granularity than seconds. To reduce the delta between the host clock and the guest clock in a virtualized system change the read_persistent_clock function to return a struct timespec.

timekeeping: Update clocksource with stop_machine

2009-08-15T08:55:46Z

update_wall_time calls change_clocksource HZ times per second to check if a new clock source is available. In close to 100% of all calls there is no new clock. Replace the tick based check by an update done with stop_machine.

timekeeping: Add timekeeper read_clock helper functions

2009-08-15T08:55:46Z

Add timekeeper_read_clock_ntp and timekeeper_read_clock_raw and use them for getnstimeofday, ktime_get, ktime_get_ts and getrawmonotonic.

timekeeping: Move NTP adjusted clock multiplier to struct timekeeper

2009-08-15T08:55:46Z

The clocksource structure has two multipliers, the unmodified multiplier clock->mult_orig and the NTP corrected multiplier clock->mult. The NTP multiplier is misplaced in the struct clocksource, this is private information of the timekeeping code. Add the mult field to the struct timekeeper to contain the NTP corrected value, keep the unmodifed multiplier in clock->mult and remove clock->mult_orig.

timekeeping: Add xtime_shift and ntp_error_shift to struct timekeeper

2009-08-15T08:55:46Z

The xtime_nsec value in the timekeeper structure is shifted by a few bits to improve precision. This happens to be the same value as the clock->shift. To improve readability add xtime_shift to the timekeeper and use it instead of the clock->shift. Likewise add ntp_error_shift and replace all (NTP_SCALE_SHIFT - clock->shift) expressions.

timekeeping: Introduce struct timekeeper

2009-08-15T08:55:46Z

Add struct timekeeper to keep the internal values timekeeping.c needs in regard to the currently selected clock source. This moves the timekeeping intervals, xtime_nsec and the ntp error value from struct clocksource to struct timekeeper. The raw_time is removed from the clocksource as well. It gets treated like xtime as a global variable. Eventually xtime raw_time should be moved to struct timekeeper.
