tick/powerclamp: Remove tick_nohz_idle abuse

2015-01-27T16:18:55+00:00

commit a5fd9733a30d18d7ac23f17080e7e07bb3205b69 upstream. commit 4dbd27711cd9 "tick: export nohz tick idle symbols for module use" was merged via the thermal tree without an explicit ack from the relevant maintainers. The exports are abused by the intel powerclamp driver which implements a fake idle state from a sched FIFO task. This causes all kinds of wreckage in the NOHZ core code which rightfully assumes that tick_nohz_idle_enter/exit() are only called from the idle task itself. Recent changes in the NOHZ core lead to a failure of the powerclamp driver and now people try to hack completely broken and backwards workarounds into the NOHZ core code. This is completely unacceptable and just papers over the real problem. There are way more subtle issues lurking around the corner. The real solution is to fix the powerclamp driver by rewriting it with a sane concept, but that's beyond the scope of this. So the only solution for now is to remove the calls into the core NOHZ code from the powerclamp trainwreck along with the exports.

tick-sched: Check tick_nohz_enabled in tick_nohz_switch_to_nohz()

2014-05-31T20:20:28+00:00

commit 27630532ef5ead28b98cfe28d8f95222ef91c2b7 upstream. Since commit d689fe222 (NOHZ: Check for nohz active instead of nohz enabled) the tick_nohz_switch_to_nohz() function returns because it checks for the tick_nohz_active flag. This can't be set, because the function itself sets it. Undo the change in tick_nohz_switch_to_nohz().

tick-sched: Don't call update_wall_time() when delta is lesser than tick_period

2014-05-31T20:20:28+00:00

commit 03e6bdc5c4d0fc166bfd5d3cf749a5a0c1b5b1bd upstream. In tick_do_update_jiffies64() we are processing ticks only if delta is greater than tick_period. This is what we are supposed to do here and it broke a bit with this patch: commit 47a1b796 (tick/timekeeping: Call update_wall_time outside the jiffies lock) With above patch, we might end up calling update_wall_time() even if delta is found to be smaller that tick_period. Fix this by returning when the delta is less than tick period.

nohz: Get timekeeping max deferment outside jiffies_lock

2014-01-15T22:07:11+00:00

We don't need to fetch the timekeeping max deferment under the jiffies_lock seqlock. If the clocksource is updated concurrently while we stop the tick, stop machine is called and the tick will be reevaluated again along with uptodate jiffies and its related values.

tick: Rename tick_check_idle() to tick_irq_enter()

2014-01-15T22:05:31+00:00

This makes the code more symetric against the existing tick functions called on irq exit: tick_irq_exit() and tick_nohz_irq_exit(). These function are also symetric as they mirror each other's action: we start to account idle time on irq exit and we stop this accounting on irq entry. Also the tick is stopped on irq exit and timekeeping catches up with the tickless time elapsed until we reach irq entry. This rename was suggested by Peter Zijlstra a long while ago but it got forgotten in the mass. Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Alex Shi Cc: Steven Rostedt Cc: Paul E.
