0b443ead71 cpufreq: remove unused notifier: CPUFREQ_{SUSPENDCHANGE|RESUMECHANGE}
Two cpufreq notifiers CPUFREQ_RESUMECHANGE and CPUFREQ_SUSPENDCHANGE have
not been used for some time, so remove them to clean up code a bit.

5f0e030930 x86, tsc: Fallback to normal calibration if fast MSR calibration fails
If we cannot calibrate TSC via MSR based calibration
try_msr_calibrate_tsc() stores zero to fast_calibrate and returns that
to the caller. This value gets then propagated further to clockevents
code resulting division by zero oops like the one below:

569d6557ab x86: Use preempt_disable_notrace() in cycles_2_ns()
When debug preempt is enabled, preempt_disable() can be traced by
function and function graph tracing.

There's a place in the function graph tracer that calls trace_clock()
which eventually calls cycles_2_ns() outside of the recursion
protection. When cycles_2_ns() calls preempt_disable() it gets traced
and the graph tracer will go into a recursive loop causing a crash or
worse, a triple fault.

Simple fix is to use preempt_disable_notrace() in cycles_2_ns, which
makes sense because the preempt_disable() tracing may use that code
too, and it tracing it, even with recursion protection is rather
pointless.

5e3c1afd45 sched/x86/tsc: Initialize multiplier to 0
Since we keep the clock value linearly continuous on frequency change,
make sure the initial multiplier is 0, such that our initial value is 0.
Without this we compute the initial value at whatever the TSC has
managed to reach since power-on.

7da7c15613 x86, tsc: Add static (MSR) TSC calibration on Intel Atom SoCs
On SoCs that have the calibration MSRs available, either there is no
PIT, HPET or PMTIMER to calibrate against, or the PIT/HPET/PMTIMER is
driven from the same clock as the TSC, so calibration is redundant and
just slows down the boot.

TSC rate is caculated by this formula:
<maximum core-clock to bus-clock ratio> * <maximum resolved frequency>
The ratio and the resolved frequency ID can be obtained from MSR.
See Intel 64 and IA-32 System Programming Guid section 16.12 and 30.11.5
for details.

148f9bb877 x86: delete __cpuinit usage from all x86 files
The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
are flagged as __cpuinit  -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid
of these warnings.  In any case, they are temporary and harmless.

This removes all the arch/x86 uses of the __cpuinit macros from
all C files.  x86 only had the one __CPUINIT used in assembly files,
and it wasn't paired off with a .previous or a __FINIT, so we can
delete it directly w/o any corresponding additional change there.

2353b47bff Round the calculated scale factor in set_cyc2ns_scale()
During some experiments with an external clock (in a FPGA), we saw that
the TSC clock drifted approx. 2.5ms per second.

This drift was caused by the current way of calculating the scale.
In our case cpu_khz had a value of 3292725. This resulted in a scale
value of 310. But when doing the calculation by hand it shows that the
actual value is 310.9886188491, so a value of 311 would be more precise.

With this change the value is rounded.

b74f05d61b x86: kvmclock: abstract save/restore sched_clock_state
Upon resume from hibernation, CPU 0's hvclock area contains the old
values for system_time and tsc_timestamp. It is necessary for the
hypervisor to update these values with uptodate ones before the CPU uses
them.

Abstract TSC's save/restore sched_clock_state functions and use
restore_state to write to KVM_SYSTEM_TIME MSR, forcing an update.

Also move restore_sched_clock_state before __restore_processor_state,
since the later calls CONFIG_LOCK_STAT's lockstat_clock (also for TSC).
Thanks to Igor Mammedov for tracking it down.

Fixes suspend-to-disk with kvmclock.

57779dc2b3 x86, tsc: Skip refined tsc calibration on systems with reliable TSC
While running the latest Linux as guest under VMware in highly
over-committed situations, we have seen cases when the refined TSC
algorithm fails to get a valid tsc_start value in
tsc_refine_calibration_work from multiple attempts. As a result the
kernel keeps on scheduling the tsc_irqwork task for later. Subsequently
after several attempts when it gets a valid start value it goes through
the refined calibration and either bails out or uses the new results.
Given that the kernel originally read the TSC frequency from the
platform, which is the best it can get, I don't think there is much
value in refining it.

So  for systems which get the TSC frequency from the platform we
should skip the refined tsc algorithm.

We can use the TSC_RELIABLE cpu cap flag to detect this, right now it is
set only on VMware and for Moorestown Penwell both of which have there
own TSC calibration methods.

9993bc635d sched/x86: Fix overflow in cyc2ns_offset
When a machine boots up, the TSC generally gets reset.  However,
when kexec is used to boot into a kernel, the TSC value would be
carried over from the previous kernel.  The computation of
cycns_offset in set_cyc2ns_scale is prone to an overflow, if the
machine has been up more than 208 days prior to the kexec.  The
overflow happens when we multiply *scale, even though there is
enough room to store the final answer.

We fix this issue by decomposing tsc_now into the quotient and
remainder of division by CYC2NS_SCALE_FACTOR and then performing
the multiplication separately on the two components.

Refactor code to share the calculation with the previous
fix in __cycles_2_ns().

68f30fbee1 x86, tsc: Fix SMI induced variation in quick_pit_calibrate()
pit_expect_msb() returns success wrongly in the below SMI scenario:

a. pit_verify_msb() has not yet seen the MSB transition.

b. we are close to the MSB transition though and got a SMI immediately after
   returning from pit_verify_msb() which didn't see the MSB transition. PIT MSB
   transition has happened somewhere during SMI execution.

c. returned from SMI and we noted down the 'tsc', saw the pit MSB change now and
   exited the loop to calculate 'deltatsc'. Instead of noting the TSC at the MSB
   transition, we are way off because of the SMI.  And as the SMI happened
   between the pit_verify_msb() and before the 'tsc' is recorded in the
   for loop, 'delattsc' (d1/d2 in quick_pit_calibrate()) will be small and
   quick_pit_calibrate() will not notice this error.

Depending on whether SMI disturbance happens while computing d1 or d2, we will
see the TSC calibrated value smaller or bigger than the expected value. As a
result, in a cluster we were seeing a variation of approximately +/- 20MHz in
the calibrated values, resulting in NTP failures.

  [ As far as the SMI source is concerned, this is a periodic SMI that gets
    disabled after ACPI is enabled by the OS. But the TSC calibration happens
    before the ACPI is enabled. ]

To address this, change pit_expect_msb() so that

 - the 'tsc' is the TSC in between the two reads that read the MSB
change from the PIT (same as before)

 - the 'delta' is the difference in TSC from *before* the MSB changed
to *after* the MSB changed.

Now the delta is twice as big as before (it covers four PIT accesses,
roughly 4us) and quick_pit_calibrate() will loop a bit longer to get
the calibrated value with in the 500ppm precision. As the delta (d1/d2)
covers four PIT accesses, actual calibrated result might be closer to
250ppm precision.

As the loop now takes longer to stabilize, double MAX_QUICK_PIT_MS to 50.

SMI disturbance will showup as much larger delta's and the loop will take
longer than usual for the result to be with in the accepted precision. Or will
fallback to slow PIT calibration if it takes more than 50msec.

Also while we are at this, remove the calibration correction that aims to
get the result to the middle of the error bars. We really don't know which
direction to correct into, so remove it.

b565201cf7 x86: Reduce clock calibration time during slave cpu startup
Reduce the startup time for slave cpus.

Adds hooks for an arch-specific function for clock calibration.
These hooks are used on x86.  If a newly started cpu has the
same phys_proc_id as a core already active, uses the TSC for the
delay loop and has a CONSTANT_TSC, use the already-calculated
value of loops_per_jiffy.

This patch reduces the time required to start slave cpus on a
4096 cpu system from: 465 sec OLD 62 sec NEW

This reduces boot time on a 4096p system by almost 7 minutes.

057e6a8c66 x86-64: Remove unnecessary barrier in vread_tsc
RDTSC is completely unordered on modern Intel and AMD CPUs.  The
Intel manual says that lfence;rdtsc causes all previous instructions
to complete before the tsc is read, and the AMD manual says to use
mfence;rdtsc to do the same thing.

From a decent amount of testing [1] this is enough to make rdtsc
be ordered with respect to subsequent loads across a wide variety
of CPUs.

On Sandy Bridge (i7-2600), this improves a loop of
clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) by more than 5 ns/iter.

8c49d9a74b x86-64: Clean up vdso/kernel shared variables
Variables that are shared between the vdso and the kernel are
currently a bit of a mess.  They are each defined with their own
magic, they are accessed differently in the kernel, the vsyscall page,
and the vdso, and one of them (vsyscall_clock) doesn't even really
exist.

This changes them all to use a common mechanism.  All of them are
delcared in vvar.h with a fixed address (validated by the linker
script).  In the kernel (as before), they look like ordinary
read-write variables.  In the vsyscall page and the vdso, they are
accessed through a new macro VVAR, which gives read-only access.

The vdso is now loaded verbatim into memory without any fixups.  As a
side bonus, access from the vdso is faster because a level of
indirection is removed.

While we're at it, pack jiffies and vgetcpu_mode into the same
cacheline.

62627bec8a x86: tsc: Fix calibration refinement conditionals to avoid divide by zero
Konrad Wilk reported that the new delayed calibration crashes with a
divide by zero on Xen. The reason is that Xen sets the pmtimer
address, but reading from it returns 0xffffff. That results in the
ref_start and ref_stop value being the same, so the delta is zero
which causes the divide by zero later in the calculation.

The conditional (!hpet && !ref_start && !ref_stop) which sanity checks
the calibration reference values doesn't really make sense. If the
refs are null, but hpet is on, we still want to break out.

The div by zero would be possible to trigger by chance if both reads
from the hardware provided the exact same value (due to hardware
wrapping).

So checking if both the ref values are the same should handle if we
don't have hardware (both null) or if they are the same value (either by
invalid hardware, or by chance), avoiding the div by zero issue.

[ tglx: Applied the same fix to native_calibrate_tsc() where this
  	check was copied from ]

Skip the delayed work setup when tsc_khz (the initial calibration
value) is 0.

Go through x86 code and replace __get_cpu_var and get_cpu_var
instances that refer to a scalar and are not used for address
determinations.

a8760eca6c x86: Check tsc available/disabled in the delayed init function
The delayed TSC init function does not check whether the system has no
TSC or TSC is disabled at the kernel command line, which results in a
crash in the work queue based extended calibration due to division by
zero because the basic calibration never happened.

Add the missing checks and do not touch TSC when not available or
disabled.

08ec0c58fb x86: Improve TSC calibration using a delayed workqueue
Boot to boot the TSC calibration may vary by quite a large amount.

While normal variance of 50-100ppm can easily be seen, the quick
calibration code only requires 500ppm accuracy, which is the limit
of what NTP can correct for.

This can cause problems for systems being used as NTP servers, as
every time they reboot it can take hours for them to calculate the
new drift error caused by the calibration.

The classic trade-off here is calibration accuracy vs slow boot times,
as during the calibration nothing else can run.

This patch uses a delayed workqueue  to calibrate the TSC over the
period of a second. This allows very accurate calibration (in my
tests only varying by 1khz or 0.4ppm boot to boot). Additionally this
refined calibration step does not block the boot process, and only
delays the TSC clocksoure registration by a few seconds in early boot.
If the refined calibration strays 1% from the early boot calibration
value, the system will fall back to already calculated early boot
calibration.

Credit to Andi Kleen who suggested using a timer quite awhile back,
but I dismissed it thinking the timer calibration would be done after
the clocksource was registered (which would break things). Forgive
me for my short-sightedness.

This patch has worked very well in my testing, but TSC hardware is
quite varied so it would probably be good to get some extended
testing, possibly pushing inclusion out to 2.6.39.

e82b8e4ea4 x86: Add IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING
This patch adds IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING option on x86 and runtime enables it
when TSC is enabled.

This change just enables fine grained irq time accounting, isn't used yet.
Following patches use it for different purposes.
