[ Upstream commit 6d3bc4c02d59996d1d3180d8ed409a9d7d5900e0 ]

On SAM9 hardware two cascaded 16 bit timers are used to form a 32 bit
high resolution timer that is used as scheduler clock when the kernel
has been configured that way (CONFIG_ATMEL_CLOCKSOURCE_TCB).

The driver initially triggers a reset-to-zero of the two timers but this
reset is only performed on the next rising clock. For the first timer
this is ok - it will be in the next 60ns (16MHz clock). For the chained
second timer this will only happen after the first timer overflows, i.e.
after 2^16 clocks (~4ms with a 16MHz clock). So with other words the
scheduler clock resets to 0 after the first 2^16 clock cycles.

It looks like that the scheduler does not like this and behaves wrongly
over its lifetime, e.g. some tasks are scheduled with a long delay. Why
that is and if there are additional requirements for this behaviour has
not been further analysed.

There is a simple fix for resetting the second timer as well when the
first timer is reset and this is to set the ATMEL_TC_ASWTRG_SET bit in
the Channel Mode register (CMR) of the first timer. This will also rise
the TIOA line (clock input of the second timer) when a software trigger
respective SYNC is issued.

[ Upstream commit 851354cbd12bb9500909733c3d4054306f61df87 ]

The AppliedMicro XGene-1 CPU has an erratum where the timer condition
would only consider TVAL, not CVAL. We currently apply a workaround when
seeing the PartNum field of MIDR_EL1 being 0x000, under the assumption
that this would match only the XGene-1 CPU model.
However even the Ampere eMAG (aka XGene-3) uses that same part number, and
only differs in the "Variant" and "Revision" fields: XGene-1's MIDR is
0x500f0000, our eMAG reports 0x503f0002. Experiments show the latter
doesn't show the faulty behaviour.

Increase the specificity of the check to only consider partnum 0x000 and
variant 0x00, to exclude the Ampere eMAG.

commit e7d65e40ab5a5940785c5922f317602d0268caaf upstream.

Due to the fact that the use of `writeq_relaxed()` to program CVAL is
not guaranteed to be atomic, it is necessary to disable the timer before
programming CVAL.

However, if the MMIO timer is already enabled and has not yet expired,
there is a possibility of unexpected behavior occurring: when the CPU
enters the idle state during this period, and if the CPU's local event
is earlier than the broadcast event, the following process occurs:

tick_broadcast_enter()
  tick_broadcast_oneshot_control(TICK_BROADCAST_ENTER)
    __tick_broadcast_oneshot_control()
      ___tick_broadcast_oneshot_control()
        tick_broadcast_set_event()
          clockevents_program_event()
            set_next_event_mem()

During this process, the MMIO timer remains enabled while programming
CVAL. To prevent such behavior, disable timer explicitly prior to
programming CVAL.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Scheduler SMP load-balancer improvements:

   - Avoid unnecessary migrations within SMT domains on hybrid systems.

     Problem:

        On hybrid CPU systems, (processors with a mixture of
        higher-frequency SMT cores and lower-frequency non-SMT cores),
        under the old code lower-priority CPUs pulled tasks from the
        higher-priority cores if more than one SMT sibling was busy -
        resulting in many unnecessary task migrations.

     Solution:

        The new code improves the load balancer to recognize SMT cores
        with more than one busy sibling and allows lower-priority CPUs
        to pull tasks, which avoids superfluous migrations and lets
        lower-priority cores inspect all SMT siblings for the busiest
        queue.

   - Implement the 'runnable boosting' feature in the EAS balancer:
     consider CPU contention in frequency, EAS max util &amp; load-balance
     busiest CPU selection.

     This improves CPU utilization for certain workloads, while leaves
     other key workloads unchanged.

  Scheduler infrastructure improvements:

   - Rewrite the scheduler topology setup code by consolidating it into
     the build_sched_topology() helper function and building it
     dynamically on the fly.

   - Resolve the local_clock() vs. noinstr complications by rewriting
     the code: provide separate sched_clock_noinstr() and
     local_clock_noinstr() functions to be used in instrumentation code,
     and make sure it is all instrumentation-safe.

  Fixes:

   - Fix a kthread_park() race with wait_woken()

   - Fix misc wait_task_inactive() bugs unearthed by the -rt merge:
       - Fix UP PREEMPT bug by unifying the SMP and UP implementations
       - Fix task_struct::saved_state handling

   - Fix various rq clock update bugs, unearthed by turning on the rq
     clock debugging code.

   - Fix the PSI WINDOW_MIN_US trigger limit, which was easy to trigger
     by creating enough cgroups, by removing the warnign and restricting
     window size triggers to PSI file write-permission or
     CAP_SYS_RESOURCE.

   - Propagate SMT flags in the topology when removing degenerate domain

   - Fix grub_reclaim() calculation bug in the deadline scheduler code

   - Avoid resetting the min update period when it is unnecessary, in
     psi_trigger_destroy().

   - Don't balance a task to its current running CPU in load_balance(),
     which was possible on certain NUMA topologies with overlapping
     groups.

   - Fix the sched-debug printing of rq-&gt;nr_uninterruptible

  Cleanups:

   - Address various -Wmissing-prototype warnings, as a preparation to
     (maybe) enable this warning in the future.

   - Remove unused code

   - Mark more functions __init

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Scheduler SMP load-balancer improvements:

   - Avoid unnecessary migrations within SMT domains on hybrid systems.

     Problem:

        On hybrid CPU systems, (processors with a mixture of
        higher-frequency SMT cores and lower-frequency non-SMT cores),
        under the old code lower-priority CPUs pulled tasks from the
        higher-priority cores if more than one SMT sibling was busy -
        resulting in many unnecessary task migrations.

     Solution:

        The new code improves the load balancer to recognize SMT cores
        with more than one busy sibling and allows lower-priority CPUs
        to pull tasks, which avoids superfluous migrations and lets
        lower-priority cores inspect all SMT siblings for the busiest
        queue.

   - Implement the 'runnable boosting' feature in the EAS balancer:
     consider CPU contention in frequency, EAS max util &amp; load-balance
     busiest CPU selection.

     This improves CPU utilization for certain workloads, while leaves
     other key workloads unchanged.

  Scheduler infrastructure improvements:

   - Rewrite the scheduler topology setup code by consolidating it into
     the build_sched_topology() helper function and building it
     dynamically on the fly.

   - Resolve the local_clock() vs. noinstr complications by rewriting
     the code: provide separate sched_clock_noinstr() and
     local_clock_noinstr() functions to be used in instrumentation code,
     and make sure it is all instrumentation-safe.

  Fixes:

   - Fix a kthread_park() race with wait_woken()

   - Fix misc wait_task_inactive() bugs unearthed by the -rt merge:
       - Fix UP PREEMPT bug by unifying the SMP and UP implementations
       - Fix task_struct::saved_state handling

   - Fix various rq clock update bugs, unearthed by turning on the rq
     clock debugging code.

   - Fix the PSI WINDOW_MIN_US trigger limit, which was easy to trigger
     by creating enough cgroups, by removing the warnign and restricting
     window size triggers to PSI file write-permission or
     CAP_SYS_RESOURCE.

   - Propagate SMT flags in the topology when removing degenerate domain

   - Fix grub_reclaim() calculation bug in the deadline scheduler code

   - Avoid resetting the min update period when it is unnecessary, in
     psi_trigger_destroy().

   - Don't balance a task to its current running CPU in load_balance(),
     which was possible on certain NUMA topologies with overlapping
     groups.

   - Fix the sched-debug printing of rq-&gt;nr_uninterruptible

  Cleanups:

   - Address various -Wmissing-prototype warnings, as a preparation to
     (maybe) enable this warning in the future.

   - Remove unused code

   - Mark more functions __init

   - Fix shadow-variable warnings"

timer_baseaddr may have the problem of not being released after use,
I replaced it with the devm_of_iomap() function and added the clk_put()

<title>clocksource/drivers/hyper-v: Rework clocksource and sched clock setup</title>
<updated>2023-06-23T07:33:43+00:00</updated>

<id>e5313f1c540434b18ea57927633b1584c534b14a</id>
<content type='text'>
Current code assigns either the Hyper-V TSC page or MSR-based ref counter
as the sched clock. This may be sub-optimal in two cases. First, if there
is hardware support to ensure consistent TSC frequency across live
migrations and Hyper-V is using that support, the raw TSC is a faster
source of time than the Hyper-V TSC page.  Second, the MSR-based ref
counter is relatively slow because reads require a trap to the hypervisor.
As such, it should never be used as the sched clock. The native sched
clock based on the raw TSC or jiffies is much better.

Rework the sched clock setup so it is set to the TSC page only if
Hyper-V indicates that the TSC may have inconsistent frequency across
live migrations. Also, remove the code that sets the sched clock to
the MSR-based ref counter. In the cases where it is not set, the sched
clock will then be the native sched clock.

As part of the rework, always enable both the TSC page clocksource and
the MSR-based ref counter clocksource. Set the ratings so the TSC page
clocksource is preferred. While the MSR-based ref counter clocksource
is unlikely to ever be the default, having it available for manual
selection is convenient for development purposes.
