hrtimer: Fix incorrect tai offset calculation for non high-res timer systems

2015-02-05T07:39:37Z

I noticed some CLOCK_TAI timer test failures on one of my less-frequently used configurations. And after digging in I found in 76f4108892d9 (Cleanup hrtimer accessors to the timekepeing state), the hrtimer_get_softirq_time tai offset calucation was incorrectly rewritten, as the tai offset we return shold be from CLOCK_MONOTONIC, and not CLOCK_REALTIME. This results in CLOCK_TAI timers expiring early on non-highres capable machines. This patch fixes the issue, calculating the tai time properly from the monotonic base.

Verify that the frequency value from userspace is valid and makes sense. Unverified values can cause overflows later on. Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: stable Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin [jstultz: Fix up bug for negative values and drop redunent cap check] Signed-off-by: John Stultz

An unvalidated user input is multiplied by a constant, which can result in an undefined behaviour for large values. While this is validated later, we should avoid triggering undefined behaviour.

Pull NOHZ update from Thomas Gleixner: "Remove the call into the nohz idle code from the fake 'idle' thread in the powerclamp driver along with the export of those functions which was smuggeled in via the thermal tree. People have tried to hack around it in the nohz core code, but it just violates all rightful assumptions of that code about the only valid calling context (i.e. the proper idle task). The powerclamp trainwreck will still work, it just wont get the benefit of long idle sleeps" * 'timers-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: tick/powerclamp: Remove tick_nohz_idle abuse

tick/powerclamp: Remove tick_nohz_idle abuse

2014-12-19T13:05:52Z

commit 4dbd27711cd9 "tick: export nohz tick idle symbols for module use" was merged via the thermal tree without an explicit ack from the relevant maintainers. The exports are abused by the intel powerclamp driver which implements a fake idle state from a sched FIFO task. This causes all kinds of wreckage in the NOHZ core code which rightfully assumes that tick_nohz_idle_enter/exit() are only called from the idle task itself. Recent changes in the NOHZ core lead to a failure of the powerclamp driver and now people try to hack completely broken and backwards workarounds into the NOHZ core code. This is completely unacceptable and just papers over the real problem. There are way more subtle issues lurking around the corner. The real solution is to fix the powerclamp driver by rewriting it with a sane concept, but that's beyond the scope of this. So the only solution for now is to remove the calls into the core NOHZ code from the powerclamp trainwreck along with the exports.

Pull drm updates from Dave Airlie: "Highlights: - AMD KFD driver merge This is the AMD HSA interface for exposing a lowlevel interface for GPGPU use. They have an open source userspace built on top of this interface, and the code looks as good as it was going to get out of tree. - Initial atomic modesetting work The need for an atomic modesetting interface to allow userspace to try and send a complete set of modesetting state to the driver has arisen, and been suffering from neglect this past year. No more, the start of the common code and changes for msm driver to use it are in this tree. Ongoing work to get the userspace ioctl finished and the code clean will probably wait until next kernel. - DisplayID 1.3 and tiled monitor exposed to userspace. Tiled monitor property is now exposed for userspace to make use of. - Rockchip drm driver merged. - imx gpu driver moved out of staging Other stuff: - core: panel - MIPI DSI + new panels. expose suggested x/y properties for virtual GPUs - i915: Initial Skylake (SKL) support gen3/4 reset work start of dri1/ums removal infoframe tracking fixes for lots of things. - nouveau: tegra k1 voltage support GM204 modesetting support GT21x memory reclocking work - radeon: CI dpm fixes GPUVM improvements Initial DPM fan control - rcar-du: HDMI support added removed some support for old boards slave encoder driver for Analog Devices adv7511 - exynos: Exynos4415 SoC support - msm: a4xx gpu support atomic helper conversion - tegra: iommu support universal plane support ganged-mode DSI support - sti: HDMI i2c improvements - vmwgfx: some late fixes. - qxl: use suggested x/y properties" * 'drm-next' of git://people.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux: (969 commits) drm: sti: fix module compilation issue drm/i915: save/restore GMBUS freq across suspend/resume on gen4 drm: sti: correctly cleanup CRTC and planes drm: sti: add HQVDP plane drm: sti: add cursor plane drm: sti: enable auxiliary CRTC drm: sti: fix delay in VTG programming drm: sti: prepare sti_tvout to support auxiliary crtc drm: sti: use drm_crtc_vblank_{on/off} instead of drm_vblank_{on/off} drm: sti: fix hdmi avi infoframe drm: sti: remove event lock while disabling vblank drm: sti: simplify gdp code drm: sti: clear all mixer control drm: sti: remove gpio for HDMI hot plug detection drm: sti: allow to change hdmi ddc i2c adapter drm/doc: Document drm_add_modes_noedid() usage drm/i915: Remove '& 0xffff' from the mask given to WA_REG() drm/i915: Invert the mask and val arguments in wa_add() and WA_REG() drm: Zero out DRM object memory upon cleanup drm/i915/bdw: Fix the write setting up the WIZ hashing mode ...
