The race is described as follows: CPU X CPU Y remove_hrtimer // state & QUEUED == 0 timer->state = CALLBACK unlock timer base timer->f(n) //very long hrtimer_start lock timer base remove_hrtimer // no effect hrtimer_enqueue timer->state = CALLBACK | QUEUED unlock timer base hrtimer_start lock timer base remove_hrtimer mode = INACTIVE // CALLBACK bit lost! switch_hrtimer_base CALLBACK bit not set: timer->base changes to a different CPU. lock this CPU's timer base The bug was introduced with commit ca109491f (hrtimer: removing all ur callback modes) in 2.6.29 [ tglx: Feed new state via local variable and add a comment. ] Signed-off-by: Salman Qazi <sqazi@google.com> Cc: akpm@linux-foundation.org Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> LKML-Reference: <20101012142351.8485.21823.stgit@dungbeetle.mtv.corp.google.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: stable@kernel.org

2010-06-09sched: Change nohz idle load balancing logic to push modelVenkatesh Pallipadi
In the new push model, all idle CPUs indeed go into nohz mode. There is still the concept of idle load balancer (performing the load balancing on behalf of all the idle cpu's in the system). Busy CPU kicks the nohz balancer when any of the nohz CPUs need idle load balancing. The kickee CPU does the idle load balancing on behalf of all idle CPUs instead of the normal idle balance. This addresses the below two problems with the current nohz ilb logic: * the idle load balancer continued to have periodic ticks during idle and wokeup frequently, even though it did not have any rebalancing to do on behalf of any of the idle CPUs. * On x86 and CPUs that have APIC timer stoppage on idle CPUs, this periodic wakeup can result in a periodic additional interrupt on a CPU doing the timer broadcast. Also currently we are migrating the unpinned timers from an idle to the cpu doing idle load balancing (when all the cpus in the system are idle, there is no idle load balancing cpu and timers get added to the same idle cpu where the request was made. So the existing optimization works only on semi idle system). And In semi idle system, we no longer have periodic ticks on the idle load balancer CPU. Using that cpu will add more delays to the timers than intended (as that cpu's timer base may not be uptodate wrt jiffies etc). This was causing mysterious slowdowns during boot etc. For now, in the semi idle case, use the nearest busy cpu for migrating timers from an idle cpu. This is good for power-savings anyway.

2009-12-10hrtimer: Tune hrtimer_interrupt hang logicThomas Gleixner
The hrtimer_interrupt hang logic adjusts min_delta_ns based on the execution time of the hrtimer callbacks. This is error-prone for virtual machines, where a guest vcpu can be scheduled out during the execution of the callbacks (and the callbacks themselves can do operations that translate to blocking operations in the hypervisor), which in can lead to large min_delta_ns rendering the system unusable. Replace the current heuristics with something more reliable. Allow the interrupt code to try 3 times to catch up with the lost time. If that fails use the total time spent in the interrupt handler to defer the next timer interrupt so the system can catch up with other things which got delayed. Limit that deferment to 100ms. The retry events and the maximum time spent in the interrupt handler are recorded and exposed via /proc/timer_list Inspired by a patch from Marcelo.

2009-11-13nohz: Allow 32-bit machines to sleep for more than 2.15 secondsJon Hunter
In the dynamic tick code, "max_delta_ns" (member of the "clock_event_device" structure) represents the maximum sleep time that can occur between timer events in nanoseconds. The variable, "max_delta_ns", is defined as an unsigned long which is a 32-bit integer for 32-bit machines and a 64-bit integer for 64-bit machines (if -m64 option is used for gcc). The value of max_delta_ns is set by calling the function "clockevent_delta2ns()" which returns a maximum value of LONG_MAX. For a 32-bit machine LONG_MAX is equal to 0x7fffffff and in nanoseconds this equates to ~2.15 seconds. Hence, the maximum sleep time for a 32-bit machine is ~2.15 seconds, where as for a 64-bit machine it will be many years. This patch changes the type of max_delta_ns to be "u64" instead of "unsigned long" so that this variable is a 64-bit type for both 32-bit and 64-bit machines. It also changes the maximum value returned by clockevent_delta2ns() to KTIME_MAX. Hence this allows a 32-bit machine to sleep for longer than ~2.15 seconds. Please note that this patch also changes "min_delta_ns" to be "u64" too and although this is unnecessary, it makes the patch simpler as it avoids to fixup all callers of clockevent_delta2ns().

2009-09-15hrtimer: Eliminate needless reprogramming of clock events deviceAshwin Chaugule
On NOHZ systems the following timers, - tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick (tick_sched_timer) - hrtimer_start (tick_sched_timer) are reprogramming the clock events device far more often than needed. No specific test case was required to observe this effect. This occurres because there was no check to see if the currently removed or restarted hrtimer was: 1) the one which previously armed the clock events device. 2) going to be replaced by another timer which has the same expiry time. Avoid the reprogramming in hrtimer_force_reprogram when the new expiry value which is evaluated from the clock bases is equal to cpu_base->expires_next. This results in faster application startup time by ~4%.

2009-07-10hrtimer: Fix migration expiry checkThomas Gleixner
The timer migration expiry check should prevent the migration of a timer to another CPU when the timer expires before the next event is scheduled on the other CPU. Migrating the timer might delay it because we can not reprogram the clock event device on the other CPU. But the code implementing that check has two flaws: - for !HIGHRES the check compares the expiry value with the clock events device expiry value which is wrong for CLOCK_REALTIME based timers. - the check is racy. It holds the hrtimer base lock of the target CPU, but the clock event device expiry value can be modified nevertheless, e.g. by an timer interrupt firing. The !HIGHRES case is easy to fix as we can enqueue the timer on the cpu which was selected by the load balancer. It runs the idle balancing code once per jiffy anyway. So the maximum delay for the timer is the same as when we keep the tick on the current cpu going. In the HIGHRES case we can get the next expiry value from the hrtimer cpu_base of the target CPU and serialize the update with the cpu_base lock. This moves the lock section in hrtimer_interrupt() so we can set next_event to KTIME_MAX while we are handling the expired timers and set it to the next expiry value after we handled the timers under the base lock. While the expired timers are processed timer migration is blocked because the expiry time of the timer is always <= KTIME_MAX. Also remove the now useless clockevents_get_next_event() function.

2009-07-10hrtimer: migration: do not check expiry time on current CPUThomas Gleixner
The timer migration code needs to check whether the expiry time of the timer is before the programmed clock event expiry time when the timer is enqueued on another CPU because we can not reprogram the timer device on the other CPU. The current logic checks the expiry time even if we enqueue on the current CPU when nohz_get_load_balancer() returns current CPU. This might lead to an endless loop in the expiry check code when the expiry time of the timer is before the current programmed next event. Check whether nohz_get_load_balancer() returns current CPU and skip the expiry check if this is the case. The bug was triggered from the networking code.

2009-01-30hrtimers: allow the hot-unplugging of all cpusSebastien Dugue
Impact: fix CPU hotplug hang on Power6 testbox On architectures that support offlining all cpus (at least powerpc/pseries), hot-unpluging the tick_do_timer_cpu can result in a system hang. This comes from the fact that if the cpu going down happens to be the cpu doing the tick, then as the tick_do_timer_cpu handover happens after the cpu is dead (via the CPU_DEAD notification), we're left without ticks, jiffies are frozen and any task relying on timers (msleep, ...) is stuck. That's particularly the case for the cpu looping in __cpu_die() waiting for the dying cpu to be dead. This patch addresses this by having the tick_do_timer_cpu handover happen earlier during the CPU_DYING notification. For this, a new clockevent notification type is introduced (CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_CPU_DYING) which is triggered in hrtimer_cpu_notify().

2009-01-30hrtimers: increase clock min delta threshold while interrupt hangingFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: avoid timer IRQ hanging slow systems While using the function graph tracer on a virtualized system, the hrtimer_interrupt can hang the system on an infinite loop. This can be caused in several situations: - the hardware is very slow and HZ is set too high - something intrusive is slowing the system down (tracing under emulation) ... and the next clock events to program are always before the current time. This patch implements a reasonable compromise: if such a situation is detected, we share the CPUs time in 1/4 to process the hrtimer interrupts. This is enough to let the system running without serious starvation. It has been successfully tested under VirtualBox with 1000 HZ and 100 HZ with function graph tracer launched. On both cases, the clock events were increased until about 25 ms periodic ticks, which means 40 HZ. So we change a hard to debug hang into a warning message and a system that still manages to limp along.

Add a debug check to test this theory. If it triggers then it triggers because the resume code calls it with irqs enabled, which is a no-no not just for timekeeping_resume(), but also bad for a number of other resume handlers.

2009-01-05hrtimer: fix recursion deadlock by re-introducing the softirqPeter Zijlstra
Impact: fix rare runtime deadlock There are a few sites that do: spin_lock_irq(&foo) hrtimer_start(&bar) __run_hrtimer(&bar) func() spin_lock(&foo) which obviously deadlocks. In order to avoid this, never call __run_hrtimer() from hrtimer_start*() context, but instead defer this to softirq context.

2008-11-25hrtimer: removing all ur callback modesPeter Zijlstra
Impact: cleanup, move all hrtimer processing into hardirq context This is an attempt at removing some of the hrtimer complexity by reducing the number of callback modes to 1. This means that all hrtimer callback functions will be ran from HARD-irq context. I went through all the 30 odd hrtimer callback functions in the kernel and saw only one that I'm not quite sure of, which is the one in net/can/bcm.c - hence I'm CC-ing the folks responsible for that code. Furthermore, the hrtimer core now calls callbacks directly with IRQs disabled in case you try to enqueue an expired timer. If this timer is a periodic timer (which should use hrtimer_forward() to advance its time) then it might be possible to end up in an inf. recursive loop due to the fact that hrtimer_forward() doesn't round up to the next timer granularity, and therefore keeps on calling the callback - obviously this needs a fix. Aside from that, this seems to compile and actually boot on my dual core test box - although I'm sure there are some bugs in, me not hitting any makes me certain :-) Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
