timekeeping: Increment clock_was_set_seq in timekeeping_init()

2015-10-16T13:50:22Z

timekeeping_init() can set the wall time offset, so we need to increment the clock_was_set_seq counter. That way hrtimers will pick up the early offset immediately. Otherwise on a machine which does not set wall time later in the boot process the hrtimer offset is stale at 0 and wall time timers are going to expire with a delay of 45 years.

clocksource: Fix abs() usage w/ 64bit values

2015-10-02T20:53:01Z

This patch fixes one cases where abs() was being used with 64-bit nanosecond values, where the result may be capped at 32-bits. This potentially could cause watchdog false negatives on 32-bit systems, so this patch addresses the issue by using abs64().

time: Fix timekeeping_freqadjust()'s incorrect use of abs() instead of abs64()

2015-09-13T08:30:47Z

The internal clocksteering done for fine-grained error correction uses a logarithmic approximation, so any time adjtimex() adjusts the clock steering, timekeeping_freqadjust() quickly approximates the correct clock frequency over a series of ticks. Unfortunately, the logic in timekeeping_freqadjust(), introduced in commit: dc491596f639 ("timekeeping: Rework frequency adjustments to work better w/ nohz") used the abs() function with a s64 error value to calculate the size of the approximated adjustment to be made. Per include/linux/kernel.h: "abs() should not be used for 64-bit types (s64, u64, long long) - use abs64()". Thus on 32-bit platforms, this resulted in the clocksteering to take a quite dampended random walk trying to converge on the proper frequency, which caused the adjustments to be made much slower then intended (most easily observed when large adjustments are made). This patch fixes the issue by using abs64() instead.

nohz: Assert existing housekeepers when nohz full enabled

2015-09-02T08:33:22Z

The code ensures that when nohz full is running, at least the boot CPU serves as a housekeeper and it can't be later offlined. Let's assert this assumption to make sure that we have CPUs to handle unbound jobs like workqueues and timers while nohz full CPUs run undisturbed. Also improve the comments on housekeeper offlining prevention. Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker Acked-by: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Chris Metcalf Cc: Christoph Lameter Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Paul E.
