This patch migrates all non pinned timers and hrtimers to the current
idle load balancer, from all the idle CPUs. Timers firing on busy CPUs
are not migrated.
While migrating hrtimers, care should be taken to check if migrating
a hrtimer would result in a latency or not. So we compare the expiry of the
hrtimer with the next timer interrupt on the target cpu and migrate the
hrtimer only if it expires *after* the next interrupt on the target cpu.
So, added a clockevents_get_next_event() helper function to return the
next_event on the target cpu's clock_event_device.

This patch creates a new framework for identifying cpu-pinned timers
and hrtimers.
This framework is needed because pinned timers are expected to fire on
the same CPU on which they are queued. So it is essential to identify
these and not migrate them, in case there are any.
For regular timers, the currently existing add_timer_on() can be used
queue pinned timers and subsequently mod_timer_pinned() can be used
to modify the 'expires' field.
For hrtimers, new modes HRTIMER_ABS_PINNED and HRTIMER_REL_PINNED are
added to queue cpu-pinned hrtimer.

It appears I inadvertly introduced rq->lock recursion to the
hrtimer_start() path when I delegated running already expired
timers to softirq context.
This patch fixes it by introducing a __hrtimer_start_range_ns()
method that will not use raise_softirq_irqoff() but
__raise_softirq_irqoff() which avoids the wakeup.
It then also changes schedule() to check for pending softirqs and
do the wakeup then, I'm not quite sure I like this last bit, nor
am I convinced its really needed.

Impact: prevent false positive WARN_ON() in clockevents_program_event()
clock_was_set() changes the base->offset of CLOCK_REALTIME and
enforces the reprogramming of the clockevent device to expire timers
which are based on CLOCK_REALTIME. If the clock change is large enough
then the subtraction of the timer expiry value and base->offset can
become negative which triggers the warning in
clockevents_program_event().
Check the subtraction result and set a negative value to 0.

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().

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.

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 :-)

Impact: fix incorrect locking triggered during hotplug-intense stress-tests
While migrating the the CB_IRQSAFE_UNLOCKED timers during a cpu-offline,
we queue them on the cb_pending list, so that they won't go
stale.
Thus, when the callbacks of the timers run from the softirq context,
they could run into potential deadlocks, since these callbacks
assume that they're running with irq's disabled, thereby annoying
lockdep!
Fix this by emulating hardirq context while running these callbacks from
the hrtimer softirq.

commit 37bb6cb409
hrtimer: unlock hrtimer_wakeup
changed the hrtimer sleeper callback mode to CB_IRQSAFE_NO_SOFTIRQ due
to locking problems. A result of this change is that when enqueue is
called for an already expired hrtimer the callback function is not
longer called directly from the enqueue code. The normal callers have
been fixed in the code, but the migration code which moves hrtimers
from a dead CPU to a live CPU was not made aware of this.
This can be fixed by checking the timer state after the call to
enqueue in the migration code.

hres_timers_resume() warns if there appears to be more than one cpu
online. This warning makes sense when the suspend/resume mechanism
offlines all cpus but one during the suspend/resume process.
However, Xen suspend does not need to offline the other cpus; it
merely keeps them tied up in stop_machine() while the virtual machine
is suspended. The warning hres_timers_resume issues is therefore
spurious.

The scheduler hrtimer bits in 2.6.25 introduced a circular lock
dependency in a rare code path:
=======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.25-sched-devel.git-x86-latest.git #19
-------------------------------------------------------
X/2980 is trying to acquire lock:
(&rq->rq_lock_key#2){++..}, at: [<ffffffff80230146>] task_rq_lock+0x56/0xa0
but task is already holding lock:
(&cpu_base->lock){++..}, at: [<ffffffff80257ae1>] lock_hrtimer_base+0x31/0x60
which lock already depends on the new lock.
The scenario which leads to this is:
posix-timer signal is delivered
-> posix-timer is rearmed
timer is already expired in hrtimer_enqueue()
-> softirq is raised
To prevent this we need to move the raise of the softirq out of the
base->lock protected code path.

When using hrtimer with timer->cb_mode == HRTIMER_CB_SOFTIRQ
in some cases the clockevent is not programmed.
This happens, if:
- a timer is rearmed while it's state is HRTIMER_STATE_CALLBACK
- hrtimer_reprogram() returns -ETIME, when it is called after
CALLBACK is finished. This occurs if the new timer->expires
is in the past when CALLBACK is done.
In this case, the timer needs to be removed from the tree and put
onto the pending list again.
The patch is against 2.6.22.5, but AFAICS, it is relevant
for 2.6.25 also (in run_hrtimer_pending()).

The previous optimization did not take the case into account where a
clock provides its own softirq_get_time() function.
Check for the availablitiy of the clock get time function first and
then check if we need to retrieve the time for both clocks via
hrtimer_softirq_gettime() to avoid a double evaluation of time in that
case as well.

It seems that hrtimer_run_queues() is calling hrtimer_get_softirq_time() more
often than it needs to. This can cause frequent contention on systems with
large numbers of processors/cores.
With this patch, hrtimer_run_queues only calls hrtimer_get_softirq_time() if
there is a pending timer in one of the hrtimer bases, and only once.
This also combines hrtimer_run_queues() and the inline run_hrtimer_queue()
into one function.

Spotted by Pavel Emelyanov and Alexey Dobriyan.
hrtimer_nanosleep() sets restart_block->arg1 = rmtp, but this rmtp points to
the local variable which lives in the caller's stack frame. This means that
if sys_restart_syscall() actually happens and it is interrupted as well, we
don't update the user-space variable, but write into the already dead stack
frame.
Introduced by commit 04c227140f
hrtimer: Rework hrtimer_nanosleep to make sys_compat_nanosleep easier
Change the callers to pass "__user *rmtp" to hrtimer_nanosleep(), and change
hrtimer_nanosleep() to use copy_to_user() to actually update *rmtp.
Small problem remains. man 2 nanosleep states that *rtmp should be written if
nanosleep() was interrupted (it says nothing whether it is OK to update *rmtp
if nanosleep returns 0), but (with or without this patch) we can dirty *rem
even if nanosleep() returns 0.
NOTE: this patch doesn't change compat_sys_nanosleep(), because it has other
bugs. Fixed by the next patch.

This is the new timerfd API as it is implemented by the following patch:
int timerfd_create(int clockid, int flags);
int timerfd_settime(int ufd, int flags,
const struct itimerspec *utmr,
struct itimerspec *otmr);
int timerfd_gettime(int ufd, struct itimerspec *otmr);
The timerfd_create() API creates an un-programmed timerfd fd. The "clockid"
parameter can be either CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_REALTIME.
The timerfd_settime() API give new settings by the timerfd fd, by optionally
retrieving the previous expiration time (in case the "otmr" parameter is not
NULL).
The time value specified in "utmr" is absolute, if the TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME bit
is set in the "flags" parameter. Otherwise it's a relative time.
The timerfd_gettime() API returns the next expiration time of the timer, or
{0, 0} if the timerfd has not been set yet.
Like the previous timerfd API implementation, read(2) and poll(2) are
supported (with the same interface). Here's a simple test program I used to
exercise the new timerfd APIs:

Relative hrtimers with a large timeout value might end up as negative
timer values, when the current time is added in hrtimer_start().
This in turn is causing the clockevents_set_next() function to set an
huge timeout and sleep for quite a long time when we have a clock
source which is capable of long sleeps like HPET. With PIT this almost
goes unnoticed as the maximum delta is ~27ms. The non-hrt/nohz code
sorts this out in the next timer interrupt, so we never noticed that
problem which has been there since the first day of hrtimers.
This bug became more apparent in 2.6.24 which activates HPET on more
hardware.

This avoids xtime lag seen with dynticks, because while 'xtime' itself
is still not updated often, we keep a 'xtime_cache' variable around that
contains the approximate real-time that _is_ updated each time we do a
'update_wall_time()', and is thus never off by more than one tick.
IOW, this restores the original semantics for 'xtime' users, as long as
you use the proper abstraction functions (ie 'current_kernel_time()' or
'get_seconds()' depending on whether you want a timespec or just the
seconds field).

This avoids use of the kernel-internal "xtime" variable directly outside
of the actual time-related functions. Instead, use the helper functions
that we already have available to us.
This doesn't actually change any behaviour, but this will allow us to
fix the fact that "xtime" isn't updated very often with CONFIG_NO_HZ
(because much of the realtime information is maintained as separate
offsets to 'xtime'), which has caused interfaces that use xtime directly
to get a time that is out of sync with the real-time clock by up to a
third of a second or so.

Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been

special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware
subsystems distinguish normal CPU hotplug events from CPU hotplug events
related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress. This
patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during
suspend and resume transitions. It also changes all of the
CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration
(for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal"
ones).

hrtimer_forward() does not check for the possible overflow of

values and results currently in an endless loop in the softirq because the

The rbtree has not to be touched by the softirq after the highres switch.
This BUG was observed by Andres Salomon, who provided the information to

but task is already holding lock:
(&cpu_base->lock_key#2){.+..}, at: [<000000000005f174>] hrtimer_cpu_notify+0xbc/0x240
which lock already depends on the new lock.
This happens because we have the following code in kernel/hrtimer.c:
migrate_hrtimers(int cpu)
[...]
old_base = &per_cpu(hrtimer_bases, cpu);
new_base = &get_cpu_var(hrtimer_bases);
[...]
spin_lock(&new_base->lock);
spin_lock(&old_base->lock);
Which means the spinlocks are taken in an order which depends on which cpu
gets shut down from which other cpu. Therefore lockdep complains that there
might be an ABBA deadlock. Since migrate_hrtimers() gets only called on
cpu hotplug it's safe to assume that it isn't executed concurrently on a
The same problem exists in kernel/timer.c: migrate_timers().
As pointed out by Christian Borntraeger one possible solution to avoid
the locking order complaints would be to make sure that the locks are
always taken in the same order. E.g. by taking the lock of the cpu with
the lower number first.
To achieve this we introduce two new spinlock functions double_spin_lock
and double_spin_unlock which lock or unlock two locks in a given order.

This allows to control the clock event devices without the architectures
having to worry about the details of function assignment. This is also a
preliminary for high resolution timers and dynamic ticks to allow the core
code to control the clock functionality without intrusive changes to the
architecture code.

Reintroduce ktimers feature "optimized away" by the ktimers review process:
remove the curr_timer pointer from the cpu-base and use the hrtimer state.
No functional changes.
