timers/nohz: Convert tick dependency mask to atomic_t

2016-03-29T09:52:11Z

The tick dependency mask was intially unsigned long because this is the type on which clear_bit() operates on and fetch_or() accepts it. But now that we have atomic_fetch_or(), we can instead use atomic_andnot() to clear the bit. This consolidates the type of our tick dependency mask, reduce its size on structures and benefit from possible architecture optimizations on atomic_t operations.

param: convert some "on"/"off" users to strtobool

2016-03-17T22:09:34Z

This changes several users of manual "on"/"off" parsing to use strtobool.

timer: convert timer_slack_ns from unsigned long to u64

2016-03-17T22:09:34Z

This patchset introduces a /proc//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//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.

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner: "The timer department delivers this time: - Support for cross clock domain timestamps in the core code plus a first user. That allows more precise timestamping for PTP and later for audio and other peripherals. The ptp/e1000e patches have been acked by the relevant maintainers and are carried in the timer tree to avoid merge ordering issues. - Support for unregistering the current clocksource watchdog.

time/timekeeping: Work around false positive GCC warning

2016-03-08T10:09:53Z

Newer GCC versions trigger the following warning: kernel/time/timekeeping.c: In function ‘get_device_system_crosststamp’: kernel/time/timekeeping.c:987:5: warning: ‘clock_was_set_seq’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] if (discontinuity) { ^ kernel/time/timekeeping.c:1045:15: note: ‘clock_was_set_seq’ was declared here unsigned int clock_was_set_seq; ^ GCC clearly is unable to recognize that the 'do_interp' boolean tracks the initialization status of 'clock_was_set_seq'. The GCC version used was: gcc version 5.3.1 20151207 (Red Hat 5.3.1-2) (GCC) Work it around by initializing clock_was_set_seq to 0. Compilers that are able to recognize the code flow will eliminate the unnecessary initialization.
