um: fix time travel mode

2019-08-22T22:39:53+00:00

Unfortunately, my build fix for when time travel mode isn't
enabled broke time travel mode, because I forgot that we need
to use the timer time after the timer has been marked disabled,
and thus need to leave the time stored instead of zeroing it.

Fix that by splitting the inline into two, so we can call only
the _mode() one in the relevant code path.

um: Support time travel mode

2019-07-02T21:27:36+00:00

Sometimes it can be useful to run with "time travel" inside the
UML instance, for example for testing. For example, some tests
for the wireless subsystem and userspace are based on hwsim, a
virtual wireless adapter. Some tests can take a long time to
run because they e.g. wait for 120 seconds to elapse for some
regulatory checks. This obviously goes faster if it need not
actually wait that long, but time inside the test environment
just "bumps up" when there's nothing to do.

Add CONFIG_UML_TIME_TRAVEL_SUPPORT to enable code to support
such modes at runtime, selected on the command line:
 * just "time-travel", in which time inside the UML instance
   can move faster than real time, if there's nothing to do
 * "time-travel=inf-cpu" in which time also moves slower and
   any CPU processing takes no time at all, which allows to
   implement consistent behaviour regardless of host CPU load
   (or speed) or debug overhead.

An additional "time-travel-start=" parameter is also
supported in this case to start the wall clock at this time
(in unix epoch).

With this enabled, the test mentioned above goes from a runtime
of about 140 seconds (with startup overhead and all) to being
CPU bound and finishing in 15 seconds (on my slow laptop).

um: Pass nsecs to os timer functions

This makes the code clearer and lets the time travel patch have
the actual time used for these functions in just one place.

um: Timer code cleanup

2019-07-02T21:27:00+00:00

There are some unused functions, and some others that have
unused arguments; clean up the timer code a bit.

um: time: Use timespec64 for persistent clock

2018-02-19T18:38:51+00:00

This read_persistent_clock() implementation is the only remaining
caller of set_normalized_timespec(). Using read_persistent_clock64()
and set_normalized_timespec64() instead lets us remove the deprecated
interface in the future and helps make 32-bit arch/um get closer to
working beyond 2038.

um/time: Set ->min_delta_ticks and ->max_delta_ticks

2017-04-14T20:11:22+00:00

In preparation for making the clockevents core NTP correction aware,
all clockevent device drivers must set ->min_delta_ticks and
->max_delta_ticks rather than ->min_delta_ns and ->max_delta_ns: a
clockevent device's rate is going to change dynamically and thus, the
ratio of ns to ticks ceases to stay invariant.

Make the uml arch's clockevent driver initialize these fields properly.

This patch alone doesn't introduce any change in functionality as the
clockevents core still looks exclusively at the (untouched) ->min_delta_ns
and ->max_delta_ns. As soon as this has changed, a followup patch will
purge the initialization of ->min_delta_ns and ->max_delta_ns from this
driver.

There is no point in having an extra type for extra confusion. u64 is
unambiguous.

Conversion was done with the following coccinelle script:

um: Switch clocksource to hrtimers

2015-11-06T21:54:49+00:00

UML is using an obsolete itimer call for
all timers and "polls" for kernel space timer firing
in its userspace portion resulting in a long list
of bugs and incorrect behaviour(s). It also uses
ITIMER_VIRTUAL for its timer which results in the
timer being dependent on it running and the cpu
load.

This patch fixes this by moving to posix high resolution
timers firing off CLOCK_MONOTONIC and relaying the timer
correctly to the UML userspace.

Fixes:
 - crashes when hosts suspends/resumes
 - broken userspace timers - effecive ~40Hz instead
   of what they should be. Note - this modifies skas behavior
   by no longer setting an itimer per clone(). Timer events
   are relayed instead.
 - kernel network packet scheduling disciplines
 - tcp behaviour especially under load
 - various timer related corner cases

Finally, overall responsiveness of userspace is better.
