clockevents: Sanitize ticks to nsec conversion

2013-10-23T10:51:21Z

Marc Kleine-Budde pointed out, that commit 77cc982 "clocksource: use clockevents_config_and_register() where possible" caused a regression for some of the converted subarchs. The reason is, that the clockevents core code converts the minimal hardware tick delta to a nanosecond value for core internal usage. This conversion is affected by integer math rounding loss, so the backwards conversion to hardware ticks will likely result in a value which is less than the configured hardware limitation. The affected subarchs used their own workaround (SIGH!) which got lost in the conversion. The solution for the issue at hand is simple: adding evt->mult - 1 to the shifted value before the integer divison in the core conversion function takes care of it. But this only works for the case where for the scaled math mult/shift pair "mult <= 1 << shift" is true. For the case where "mult > 1 << shift" we can apply the rounding add only for the minimum delta value to make sure that the backward conversion is not less than the given hardware limit. For the upper bound we need to omit the rounding add, because the backwards conversion is always larger than the original latch value. That would violate the upper bound of the hardware device. Though looking closer at the details of that function reveals another bogosity: The upper bounds check is broken as well. Checking for a resulting "clc" value greater than KTIME_MAX after the conversion is pointless. The conversion does: u64 clc = (latch << evt->shift) / evt->mult; So there is no sanity check for (latch << evt->shift) exceeding the 64bit boundary. The latch argument is "unsigned long", so on a 64bit arch the handed in argument could easily lead to an unnoticed shift overflow. With the above rounding fix applied the calculation before the divison is: u64 clc = (latch << evt->shift) + evt->mult - 1; So we need to make sure, that neither the shift nor the rounding add is overflowing the u64 boundary.

time: Fix signedness bug in sysfs_get_uname() and its callers

2013-10-18T23:45:58Z

sysfs_get_uname() is erroneously declared as returning size_t even though it may return a negative value, specifically -EINVAL. Its callers then check whether its return value is less than zero and indeed that is never the case for size_t. This patch changes sysfs_get_uname() to return ssize_t and makes sure its callers use ssize_t accordingly.

alarmtimer: return EINVAL instead of ENOTSUPP if rtcdev doesn't exist

2013-10-18T23:23:58Z

Fedora Ruby maintainer reported latest Ruby doesn't work on Fedora Rawhide on ARM. (http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9008) Because of, commit 1c6b39ad3f (alarmtimers: Return -ENOTSUPP if no RTC device is present) intruduced to return ENOTSUPP when clock_get{time,res} can't find a RTC device. However this is incorrect. First, ENOTSUPP isn't exported to userland (ENOTSUP or EOPNOTSUP are the closest userland equivlents). Second, Posix and Linux man pages agree that clock_gettime and clock_getres should return EINVAL if clk_id argument is invalid. While the arugment that the clockid is valid, but just not supported on this hardware could be made, this is just a technicality that doesn't help userspace applicaitons, and only complicates error handling. Thus, this patch changes the code to use EINVAL.

timer stats: Add a 'Collection: active/inactive' line to timer usage statistics

2013-10-10T07:59:25Z

We can enable/disable timer statistics collection via: echo [1|0] > /proc/timers_stats and it would be nice if apps had the ability to check what the current collection status is. This patch adds a 'Collection: active/inactive' line to display the current timer collection status. Also bump up the timer stats version to v0.3.

sched_clock: Remove sched_clock_func() hook

Merge branch 'clockevents/3.13' of git://git.linaro.org/people/dlezcano/linux into timers/core

2013-10-03T05:57:02Z

Pull (mostly) ARM clocksource driver updates from Daniel Lezcano: " - Soren Brinkmann added FEAT_PERCPU to a clock device when it is local per cpu. This feature prevents the clock framework to choose a per cpu timer as a broadcast timer. This problem arised when the ARM global timer is used when switching to the broadcast timer which is the case now on Xillinx with its cpuidle driver. - Stephen Boyd extended the generic sched_clock code to support 64bit counters and removes the setup_sched_clock deprecation, as that causes lots of warnings since there's still users in the arch/arm tree. He added also the CLOCK_SOURCE_SUSPEND_NONSTOP flag on the architected timer as they continue counting during suspend. - Uwe Kleine-König added some missing __init sections and consolidated the code by moving the of_node_put call from the drivers to the function clocksource_of_init.
