With our switch to stable delayed until late_initcall(), the most
likely cause of hitting mark_tsc_unstable() is the watchdog. The
watchdog typically only triggers when creative BIOS'es fiddle with the
TSC to hide SMI latency.
Since the watchdog can only detect TSC fiddling after the fact all TSC
clocks (including userspace GTOD) can already have reported funny
values.
The only way to fully avoid this, is manually marking the TSC unstable
at boot. Suggest people do this on their broken systems.

Core2 marks its TSC unstable in ACPI Processor Idle, which is probed
after sched_init_smp(). Luckily it appears both acpi_processor and
intel_idle (which has a similar check) are mandatory built-in.
This means we can delay switching to stable until after these drivers
have ran (if they were modules, this would be impossible).
Delay the stable switch to late_initcall() to allow these drivers to
mark TSC unstable and avoid difficult stable->unstable transitions.

Currently we keep sched_clock_tick() active for stable TSC in order to
keep the per-CPU state semi up-to-date. The (obvious) problem is that
by the time we detect TSC is borked, our per-CPU state is also borked.
So hook into the clocksource watchdog and call a method after we've
found it to still be stable.
There's the obvious race where the TSC goes wonky between finding it
stable and us running the callback, but closing that is too much work
and not really worth it, since we're already detecting TSC wobbles
after the fact, so we cannot, per definition, fully avoid funny clock
values.
And since the watchdog runs less often than the tick, this is also an
optimization.

When it is determined that the clock is actually unstable, and
we switch from stable to unstable, the __clear_sched_clock_stable()
function is eventually called.
In this function we set gtod_offset so the following holds true:
sched_clock() + raw_offset == ktime_get_ns() + gtod_offset
But instead of getting the latest timestamps, we use the last values
from scd, so instead of sched_clock() we use scd->tick_raw, and
instead of ktime_get_ns() we use scd->tick_gtod.
However, later, when we use gtod_offset sched_clock_local() we do not
add it to scd->tick_gtod to calculate the correct clock value when we
determine the boundaries for min/max clocks.
This can result in tick granularity sched_clock() values, so fix it.

Mike reported that he could trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE() in
set_sched_clock_stable() using hotplug.
This exposed a fundamental problem with the interface, we should never
mark the TSC stable if we ever find it to be unstable. Therefore
set_sched_clock_stable() is a broken interface.
The reason it existed is that not having it is a pain, it means all
relevant architecture code needs to call clear_sched_clock_stable()
where appropriate.
Of the three architectures that select HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK ia64
and parisc are trivial in that they never called
set_sched_clock_stable(), so add an unconditional call to
clear_sched_clock_stable() to them.
For x86 the story is a lot more involved, and what this patch tries to
do is ensure we preserve the status quo. So even is Cyrix or Transmeta
have usable TSC they never called set_sched_clock_stable() so they now
get an explicit mark unstable.

Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
When switching between the unstable and stable variants it is
currently possible that clock discontinuities occur.
And while these will mostly be 'small', attempt to do better.
As observed on my IVB-EP, the sched_clock() is ~1.5s ahead of the
ktime_get_ns() based timeline at the point of switchover
(sched_clock_init_late()) after SMP bringup.
Equally, when the TSC is later found to be unstable -- typically
because SMM tries to hide its SMI latencies by mucking with the TSC --
we want to avoid large jumps.
Since the clocksource watchdog reports the issue after the fact we
cannot exactly fix up time, but since SMI latencies are typically
small (~10ns range), the discontinuity is mainly due to drift between
sched_clock() and ktime_get_ns() (which on my desktop is ~79s over
24days).
I dislike this patch because it adds overhead to the good case in
favour of dealing with badness. But given the widespread failure of
TSC stability this is worth it.
Note that in case the TSC makes drastic jumps after SMP bringup we're
still hosed. There's just not much we can do in that case without
stupid overhead.
If we were to somehow expose tsc_clocksource_reliable (which is hard
because this code is also used on ia64 and parisc) we could avoid some
of the newly introduced overhead.

The local_clock/cpu_clock functions were changed to prevent a double
identical test with sched_clock_cpu() when HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK
is set. That resulted in one line functions.
As these functions are in all the cases one line functions and in the
hot path, it is useful to specify them as static inline in order to
give a strong hint to the compiler.
After verification, it appears the compiler does not inline them
without this hint. Change those functions to static inline.
sched_clock_cpu() is called via the inlined local_clock()/cpu_clock()
functions from sched.h. So any module code including sched.h will
reference sched_clock_cpu(). Thus it must be exported with the
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL macro.

worker pool hasn't made forward progress over a certain amount of time
(30s by default) and also triggers a warning if a workqueue which can
be used in memory reclaim path tries to wait on something which can't
be.
These should make workqueue hangs a lot easier to debug."
* 'for-4.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq:
workqueue: simplify the apply_workqueue_attrs_locked()
workqueue: implement lockup detector
watchdog: introduce touch_softlockup_watchdog_sched()
workqueue: warn if memory reclaim tries to flush !WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueue
touch_softlockup_watchdog() is used to tell watchdog that scheduler
stall is expected. One group of usage is from paths where the task
may not be able to yield for a long time such as performing slow PIO
to finicky device and coming out of suspend. The other is to account
for scheduler and timer going idle.
For scheduler softlockup detection, there's no reason to distinguish
the two cases; however, workqueue lockup detector is planned and it
can use the same signals from the former group while the latter would
spuriously prevent detection. This patch introduces a new function
touch_softlockup_watchdog_sched() and convert the latter group to call
it instead. For now, it just calls touch_softlockup_watchdog() and
there's no functional difference.

When the hypervisor pauses a virtualised kernel the kernel will observe a
jump in timebase, this can cause spurious messages from the softlockup
detector.
Whilst these messages are harmless, they are accompanied with a stack
trace which causes undue concern and more problematically the stack trace
in the guest has nothing to do with the observed problem and can only be
misleading.
Futhermore, on POWER8 this is completely avoidable with the introduction
of the Virtual Time Base (VTB) register.
This patch (of 2):
This permits the use of arch specific clocks for which virtualised kernels
can use their notion of 'running' time, not the elpased wall time which
will include host execution time.

The code would assume sched_clock_stable() and switch to !stable
later, this switch brings a discontinuity in time.
The discontinuity on switching from stable to unstable was always
present, but previously we would set stable/unstable before
initializing TSC and usually stick to the one we start out with.
So the static_key bits brought an extra switch where there previously
wasn't one.
Things are further complicated by the fact that we cannot use
static_key as early as we usually call set_sched_clock_stable().
Fix things by tracking the stable state in a regular variable and only
set the static_key to the right state on sched_clock_init(), which is
ran right after late_time_init->tsc_init().
Before this we would not be using the TSC anyway.

sched_clock_local() sched_clock_remote(CPU0)
...
remote_clock = scd[CPU0]->clock
read_low32bit(scd[CPU0]->clock)
cmpxchg64(scd->clock,...)
read_high32bit(scd[CPU0]->clock)
While the update of scd->clock is using an atomic64 mechanism, the
readout on the remote cpu is not, which can cause completely bogus
readouts.
It is a quite rare problem, because it requires the update to hit the
narrow race window between the low/high readout and the update must go
across the 32bit boundary.
The resulting misbehaviour is, that CPU1 will see the sched_clock on
CPU1 ~4 seconds ahead of it's own and update CPU1s sched_clock value
to this bogus timestamp. This stays that way due to the clamping
implementation for about 4 seconds until the synchronization with
CLOCK_MONOTONIC undoes the problem.
The issue is hard to observe, because it might only result in a less
accurate SCHED_OTHER timeslicing behaviour. To create observable
damage on realtime scheduling classes, it is necessary that the bogus
update of CPU1 sched_clock happens in the context of an realtime
thread, which then gets charged 4 seconds of RT runtime, which results
in the RT throttler mechanism to trigger and prevent scheduling of RT
tasks for a little less than 4 seconds. So this is quite unlikely as
well.
The issue was quite hard to decode as the reproduction time is between
2 days and 3 weeks and intrusive tracing makes it less likely, but the
following trace recorded with trace_clock=global, which uses
sched_clock_local(), gave the final hint:
<idle>-0 0d..30 400269.477150: hrtimer_cancel: hrtimer=0xf7061e80
<idle>-0 0d..30 400269.477151: hrtimer_start: hrtimer=0xf7061e80 ...
irq/20-S-587 1d..32 400273.772118: sched_wakeup: comm= ... target_cpu=0
<idle>-0 0dN.30 400273.772118: hrtimer_cancel: hrtimer=0xf7061e80
What happens is that CPU0 goes idle and invokes
sched_clock_idle_sleep_event() which invokes sched_clock_local() and
CPU1 runs a remote wakeup for CPU0 at the same time, which invokes
sched_remote_clock(). The time jump gets propagated to CPU0 via
sched_remote_clock() and stays stale on both cores for ~4 seconds.
There are only two other possibilities, which could cause a stale
sched clock:
1) ktime_get() which reads out CLOCK_MONOTONIC returns a sporadic
wrong value.
2) sched_clock() which reads the TSC returns a sporadic wrong value.
#1 can be excluded because sched_clock would continue to increase for
one jiffy and then go stale.
#2 can be excluded because it would not make the clock jump
forward. It would just result in a stale sched_clock for one jiffy.
After quite some brain twisting and finding the same pattern on other
traces, sched_clock_remote() remained the only place which could cause
such a problem and as explained above it's indeed racy on 32bit
systems.
So while on 64bit systems the readout is atomic, we need to verify the
remote readout on 32bit machines. We need to protect the local->clock
readout in sched_clock_remote() on 32bit as well because an NMI could
hit between the low and the high readout, call sched_clock_local() and
modify local->clock.
Thanks to Siegfried Wulsch for bearing with my debug requests and
going through the tedious tasks of running a bunch of reproducer
systems to generate the debug information which let me decode the
issue.
