John Stultz a2a5ac8650 time: ntp: fix bug in ntp_update_offset() & do_adjtimex(), fix
The time_status conditional was accidentally placed right after we clear
the checked time_status bits, which causes us to take the conditional
every time through. This fixes it by moving the conditional to before we
clear the time_status bits.

Ingo Molnar 39854fe8c1 time: ntp: clean up second_overflow()
Impact: cleanup, no functionality changed

The 'time_adj' local variable is named in a very confusing
way because it almost shadows the 'time_adjust' global
variable - which is used in this same function.

Rename it to 'delta' - to make them stand apart more clearly.

Impact: micro-optimization

Convert the (internal) ntp_tick_adj value we store from unscaled
units to scaled units. This is a constant that we never modify,
so scaling it up once during bootup is enough - we dont have to
do it for every adjustment step.

Ingo Molnar 10dd31a7a1 time: ntp: fix bug in ntp_update_offset() & do_adjtimex()
Impact: change (fix) the way the NTP PLL seconds offset is initialized/tracked

Fix a bug and do a micro-optimization:

When PLL is enabled we do not reset time_reftime. If the PLL
was off for a long time (for example after bootup), this is
arguably the wrong thing to do.

We already had a hack for the common boot-time case in
ntp_update_offset(), in form of:

	if (unlikely(time_status & STA_FREQHOLD || time_reftime == 0))
 		secs = 0;

But the update delta should be reset later on too - not just when
the PLL is enabled for the first time after bootup.

So do it on !STA_PLL -> STA_PLL transitions.

This changes behavior, as previously if ntpd was disabled for
a long time and we restarted it, we'd run from that last update,
with a very large delta.

john stultz fdcedf7b75 time: apply NTP frequency/tick changes immediately
Since the GENERIC_TIME changes landed, the adjtimex behavior changed
for struct timex.tick and .freq changed. When the tick or freq value
is set, we adjust the tick_length_base in ntp_update_frequency().
However, this new value doesn't get applied to tick_length until the
next second (via second_overflow).

This means some applications that do quick time tweaking do not see the
requested change made as quickly as expected.

I've run a few tests with this change, and ntpd still functions fine.

Peter Zijlstra ca109491f6 hrtimer: removing all ur callback modes
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 :-)

(19 is the amount of the factor 2 in PPM_SCALE), the output frequency
can then be calculated back to its input value, as the inverse divide
produce a slightly larger value, which is then correctly rounded by the
final shift.

Maciej W. Rozycki 4ff4b9e19a ntp: fix calculation of the next jiffie to trigger RTC sync
We have a bug in the calculation of the next jiffie to trigger the RTC
synchronisation.  The aim here is to run sync_cmos_clock() as close as
possible to the middle of a second.  Which means we want this function to
be called less than or equal to half a jiffie away from when now.tv_nsec
equals 5e8 (500000000).

If this is not the case for a given call to the function, for this purpose
instead of updating the RTC we calculate the offset in nanoseconds to the
next point in time where now.tv_nsec will be equal 5e8.  The calculated
offset is then converted to jiffies as these are the unit used by the
timer.

Hovewer timespec_to_jiffies() used here uses a ceil()-type rounding mode,
where the resulting value is rounded up.  As a result the range of
now.tv_nsec when the timer will trigger is from 5e8 to 5e8 + TICK_NSEC
rather than the desired 5e8 - TICK_NSEC / 2 to 5e8 + TICK_NSEC / 2.

As a result if for example sync_cmos_clock() happens to be called at the
time when now.tv_nsec is between 5e8 + TICK_NSEC / 2 and 5e8 to 5e8 +
TICK_NSEC, it will simply be rescheduled HZ jiffies later, falling in the
same range of now.tv_nsec again.  Similarly for cases offsetted by an
integer multiple of TICK_NSEC.

This change addresses the problem by subtracting TICK_NSEC / 2 from the
nanosecond offset to the next point in time where now.tv_nsec will be
equal 5e8, effectively shifting the following rounding in
timespec_to_jiffies() so that it produces a rounded-to-nearest result.

Roman Zippel f8bd2258e2 remove div_long_long_rem
x86 is the only arch right now, which provides an optimized for
div_long_long_rem and it has the downside that one has to be very careful that
the divide doesn't overflow.

The API is a little akward, as the arguments for the unsigned divide are
signed.  The signed version also doesn't handle a negative divisor and
produces worse code on 64bit archs.

There is little incentive to keep this API alive, so this converts the few
users to the new API.

Roman Zippel 10a398d04c time: remove obsolete CLOCK_TICK_ADJUST
The first version of the ntp_interval/tick_length inconsistent usage patch was
recently merged as bbe4d18ac2

http://git.kernel.org/gitweb.cgi?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=bbe4d18ac2e058c56adb0cd71f49d9ed3216a405

While the fix did greatly improve the situation, it was correctly pointed out
by Roman that it does have a small bug: If the users change clocksources after
the system has been running and NTP has made corrections, the correctoins made
against the old clocksource will be applied against the new clocksource,
causing error.

The second attempt, which corrects the issue in the NTP_INTERVAL_LENGTH
definition has also made it up-stream as commit
e13a2e61dd

http://git.kernel.org/gitweb.cgi?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=e13a2e61dd5152f5499d2003470acf9c838eab84

Roman has correctly pointed out that CLOCK_TICK_ADJUST is calculated
based on the PIT's frequency, and isn't really relevant to non-PIT
driven clocksources (that is, clocksources other then jiffies and pit).

This patch reverts both of those changes, and simply removes
CLOCK_TICK_ADJUST.

This does remove the granularity error correction for users of PIT and Jiffies
clocksource users, but the granularity error but for the majority of users, it
should be within the 500ppm range NTP can accommodate for.

For systems that have granularity errors greater then 500ppm, the
"ntp_tick_adj=" boot option can be used to compensate.

John Stultz 52bfb36050 time: add ADJ_OFFSET_SS_READ
Michael Kerrisk reported that a long standing bug in the adjtimex()
system call causes glibc's adjtime(3) function to deliver the wrong
results if 'delta' is NULL.

add the ADJ_OFFSET_SS_READ API detail, which will be used by glibc
to fix this API compatibility bug.

Also see: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6761

[ mingo@elte.hu: added patch description and made it backwards compatible ]

NOTE: the new flag is defined 0xa001 so that it returns -EINVAL on
older kernels - this way glibc can use it safely. Suggested by Ulrich
Drepper.

David P. Reed fa6a1a554b ntp: fix typo that makes sync_cmos_clock erratic
Fix a typo in ntp.c that has caused updating of the persistent (RTC)
clock when synced to NTP to behave erratically.

When debugging a freeze that arises on my AMD64 machines when I
run the ntpd service, I added a number of printk's to monitor the
sync_cmos_clock procedure.  I discovered that it was not syncing to
cmos RTC every 11 minutes as documented, but instead would keep trying
every second for hours at a time.  The reason turned out to be a typo
in sync_cmos_clock, where it attempts to ensure that
update_persistent_clock is called very close to 500 msec. after a 1
second boundary (required by the PC RTC's spec). That typo referred to
"xtime" in one spot, rather than "now", which is derived from "xtime"
but not equal to it.  This makes the test erratic, creating a
"coin-flip" that decides when update_persistent_clock is called - when
it is called, which is rarely, it may be at any time during the one
second period, rather than close to 500 msec, so the value written is
needlessly incorrect, too.

Thomas Gleixner 746976a301 NTP: remove clock_was_set() call to prevent deadlock
The clock_was_set() call in seconds_overflow() which happens only when
leap seconds are inserted / deleted is wrong in two aspects:

1. it results in a call to on_each_cpu() with interrupts disabled
2. it is potential deadlock source vs. call_lock in smp_call_function()

The only possible side effect of the removal might be, that an absolute
CLOCK_REALTIME timer fires 1 second too late, in the rare case of leap
second deletion and an absolute CLOCK_REALTIME timer which expires in
the affected time frame. It will never fire too early.

This was probably observed by the reporter of a June 30th -> July 1st
hang: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/7/3/103

A similar problem was observed by Dave Jones, who provided a screen shot
with a lockdep back trace, which allowed to analyse the problem.

Alexey Dobriyan e8edc6e03a Detach sched.h from mm.h
First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.

This patch
a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
   getting them indirectly

Net result is:
a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
   they don't need sched.h
b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
   on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
   after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

Cross-compile tested on

	all arm defconfigs, all mips defconfigs, all powerpc defconfigs,
	alpha alpha-up
	arm
	i386 i386-up i386-defconfig i386-allnoconfig

john stultz d62ac21aa0 [PATCH] ntp: avoid time_offset overflows
I've been seeing some odd NTP behavior recently on a few boxes and
finally narrowed it down to time_offset overflowing when converted to
SHIFT_UPDATE units (which was a side effect from my HZfreeNTP patch).

This patch converts time_offset from a long to a s64 which resolves the
issue.
