This is the largest patch in the set. Make all (I hope) the places where
the pid is shown to or get from user operate on the virtual pids.
The idea is:
- all in-kernel data structures must store either struct pid itself
or the pid's global nr, obtained with pid_nr() call;
- when seeking the task from kernel code with the stored id one
should use find_task_by_pid() call that works with global pids;
- when showing pid's numerical value to the user the virtual one
should be used, but however when one shows task's pid outside this
task's namespace the global one is to be used;
- when getting the pid from userspace one need to consider this as
the virtual one and use appropriate task/pid-searching functions.

get_next_timer_interrupt() returns a delta of (LONG_MAX > 1) in case
there is no timer pending. On 64 bit machines this results in a
multiplication overflow in tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick().
Reported by: Dave Miller <[email protected]>
Make the return value a constant and limit the return value to a 32 bit
value.
When the max timeout value is returned, we can safely stop the tick
timer device. The max jiffies delta results in a 12 days timeout for
HZ=1000.
In the long term the get_next_timer_interrupt() code needs to be
reworked to return ktime instead of jiffies, but we have to wait until
the last users of the original NO_IDLE_HZ code are converted.

We need to make sure that the clocksources are resumed, when timekeeping is
resumed. The current resume logic does not guarantee this.
Add a resume function pointer to the clocksource struct, so clocksource
drivers which need to reinitialize the clocksource can provide a resume
function.
Add a resume function, which calls the maybe available clocksource resume
functions and resets the watchdog function, so a stable TSC can be used
accross suspend/resume.

Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been
frozen and the CPU hotplug infrastructure is used for this purpose, we need
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).

There are many places in the kernel where the construction like
foo = list_entry(head->next, struct foo_struct, list);
are used.
The code might look more descriptive and neat if using the macro
list_first_entry(head, type, member) \
list_entry((head)->next, type, member)
Here is the macro itself and the examples of its usage in the generic code.
If it will turn out to be useful, I can prepare the set of patches to
inject in into arch-specific code, drivers, networking, etc.

Introduce a new flag for timers - deferrable: Timers that work normally
when system is busy. But, will not cause CPU to come out of idle (just to
service this timer), when CPU is idle. Instead, this timer will be
serviced when CPU eventually wakes up with a subsequent non-deferrable
timer.
The main advantage of this is to avoid unnecessary timer interrupts when
CPU is idle. If the routine currently called by a timer can wait until
next event without any issues, this new timer can be used to setup timer
event for that routine. This, with dynticks, allows CPUs to be lazy,
allowing them to stay in idle for extended period of time by reducing
unnecesary wakeup and thereby reducing the power consumption.
This patch:
Builds this new timer on top of existing timer infrastructure. It uses
last bit in 'base' pointer of timer_list structure to store this deferrable
timer flag. __next_timer_interrupt() function skips over these deferrable
timers when CPU looks for next timer event for which it has to wake up.
This is exported by a new interface init_timer_deferrable() that can be
called in place of regular init_timer().

The rework of next_timer_interrupt() fixed the timer wheel bugs, but
invented a rounding error versus the next hrtimer event. This is caused
by the conversion of the hrtimer internal representation to relative
jiffies.
This causes bug #8100:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8100
next_timer_interrupt() returns "now" in such a case and causes the code
in tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() to trigger the timer softirq, which is
bogus as no timer is due for expiry. This results in an endless context
switching between idle and ksoftirqd until a timer is due for expiry.
Modify the hrtimer evaluation so that, it returns now + 1, when the
conversion results in a delta < 1 jiffie.
It's confirmed to resolve bug #8100

I've only seen this on x86_64.
The vsyscall state only gets updated when a timer interrupts comes in. So
if the time is set long before the next timer, there will be a period when
a gettimeofday() won't reflect the correct time.
I added an explicit update_vsyscall() during the settimeofday(), that way
the vsyscall state doesn't get stale.

The programming of periodic tick devices needs to be saved/restored
across suspend/resume - otherwise we might end up with a system coming
up that relies on getting a PIT (or HPET) interrupt, while those devices
default to 'no interrupts' after powerup. (To confuse things it worked
to a certain degree on some systems because the lapic gets initialized
as a side-effect of SMP bootup.)
This suspend / resume thing was dropped unintentionally during the
last-minute -mm code reshuffling.

=======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.21-rc2-g562aa1d4-dirty #7
-------------------------------------------------------
bash/1282 is trying to acquire lock:
(&cpu_base->lock_key){.+..}, at: [<000000000005f17e>] hrtimer_cpu_notify+0xc6/0x240
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.

Architectures register their clock event devices, in the clock events core.
Users of the clockevents core can get clock event devices for their use. The
clockevents core code provides notification mechanisms for various clock
related management events.
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.

original code vs. jiffies changing during the iteration.)

When searching for the next pending timer in the timer wheel we need to take
the cascade into account. The current code has several problems:
1. it looks into the previous cascade
2. it ignores a pending cascade
3. it ignores multiple cascades
Change the cascade lookup, so it calculates the array index from the point of
the next cascade and always look at the cascade buckets, when the cascade is
pending, i.e. gets executed in the next timer softirq. When multiple
cascades are pending, then lookup the next buckets too.

ARCH_HAVE_XTIME_LOCK is used by x86_64 arch . This arch needs to place a

named __xtime_lock, and xtime_lock is defined in

The 32bit and 64bit PARISC Linux kernels suffers from the problem, that the
gettimeofday() call sometimes returns non-monotonic times.
The easiest way to fix this, is to drop the PARISC-specific implementation
and switch over to the generic TIME_INTERPOLATION framework.
But in order to make it even compile on 32bit PARISC, the patch below which
touches the generic Linux code, is mandatory.
More information and the full patch with the parisc-specific changes is included in this thread: http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux/2006-December/031003.html
As far as I could see, this patch does not change anything for the existing
architectures which use this framework (IA64 and SPARC64), since "cycles_t"
is defined there as unsigned 64bit-integer anyway (which then makes this
patch a no-change for them).

Kyle is hitting this warning, and we don't have a clue what it's caused by.
Add the obligatory dump_stack().

calc_load() is called by timer interrupt to update avenrun[]. It currently
calls nr_active() at each timer tick (HZ per second), while the update of
avenrun[] is done only once every 5 seconds. (LOAD_FREQ=5 Hz)
nr_active() is quite expensive on SMP machines, since it has to sum up
nr_running and nr_uninterruptible of all online CPUS, bringing foreign
dirty cache lines.
This patch is an optimization of calc_load() so that nr_active() is called
only if we need it.
The use of unlikely() is welcome since the condition is true only once every
5*HZ time.

Introduce a round_jiffies() function as well as a round_jiffies_relative()
function. These functions round a jiffies value to the next whole second.
The primary purpose of this rounding is to cause all "we don't care exactly
when" timers to happen at the same jiffy.
This avoids multiple timers firing within the second for no real reason;
with dynamic ticks these extra timers cause wakeups from deep sleep CPU
sleep states and thus waste power.
The exact wakeup moment is skewed by the cpu number, to avoid all cpus from
waking up at the exact same time (and hitting the same lock/cachelines
there)

With 2.6.18-rc4-mm2, now wall_jiffies will always be the same as jiffies.
So we can kill wall_jiffies completely.
This is just a cleanup and logically should not change any real behavior
except for one thing: RTC updating code in (old) ppc and xtensa use a
condition "jiffies - wall_jiffies == 1". This condition is never met so I
suppose it is just a bug. I just remove that condition only instead of
kill the whole "if" block.

This folds update_ntp_one_tick() into second_overflow() and adds time_adjust
to the tick length, this makes time_next_adjust unnecessary. This slightly
changes the adjtime() behaviour, instead of applying it to the next tick, it's
applied to the next second.

This introduces ntp_update_frequency() and deinlines ntp_clear() (as it's not
performance critical). ntp_update_frequency() calculates the base tick length
using tick_usec and adds a base adjustment, in case the frequency doesn't
divide evenly by HZ.

Pass ticks to do_timer() and update_times(), and adjust x86_64 and s390
timer interrupt handler with this change.
Currently update_times() calculates ticks by "jiffies - wall_jiffies", but
callers of do_timer() should know how many ticks to update. Passing ticks
get rid of this redundant calculation. Also there are another redundancy
pointed out by Martin Schwidefsky.
This cleanup make a barrier added by
5aee405c662ca644980c184774277fc6d0769a84 needless. So this patch removes
it.
As a bonus, this cleanup make wall_jiffies can be removed easily, since now
wall_jiffies is always synced with jiffies. (This patch does not really
remove wall_jiffies. It would be another cleanup patch)
