timekeeping: Add ktime_get_coarse_with_offset

2018-05-19T11:57:32+00:00

I have run into a couple of drivers using current_kernel_time()
suffering from the y2038 problem, and they could be converted
to using ktime_t, but don't have interfaces that skip the nanosecond
calculation at the moment.

This introduces ktime_get_coarse_with_offset() as a simpler
variant of ktime_get_with_offset(), and adds wrappers for the
three time domains we support with the existing function.

timekeeping: Standardize on ktime_get_*() naming

2018-05-19T11:57:32+00:00

The current_kernel_time64, get_monotonic_coarse64, getrawmonotonic64,
get_monotonic_boottime64 and timekeeping_clocktai64 interfaces have
rather inconsistent naming, and they differ in the calling conventions
by passing the output either by reference or as a return value.

Rename them to ktime_get_coarse_real_ts64, ktime_get_coarse_ts64,
ktime_get_raw_ts64, ktime_get_boottime_ts64 and ktime_get_clocktai_ts64
respectively, and provide the interfaces with macros or inline
functions as needed.

timekeeping: Clean up ktime_get_real_ts64

2018-05-19T11:57:32+00:00

In a move to make ktime_get_*() the preferred driver interface into the
timekeeping code, sanitizes ktime_get_real_ts64() to be a proper exported
symbol rather than an alias for getnstimeofday64().

The internal __getnstimeofday64() is no longer used, so remove that
and merge it into ktime_get_real_ts64().

As stated in the pull request for the unification of CLOCK_MONOTONIC and
CLOCK_BOOTTIME, it was clear that we might have to revert the change.

As reported by several folks systemd and other applications rely on the
documented behaviour of CLOCK_MONOTONIC on Linux and break with the above
changes. After resume daemons time out and other timeout related issues are
observed. Rafael compiled this list:

* systemd kills daemons on resume, after >WatchdogSec seconds
  of suspending (Genki Sky).  [Verified that that's because systemd uses
  CLOCK_MONOTONIC and expects it to not include the suspend time.]

* systemd-journald misbehaves after resume:
  systemd-journald[7266]: File /var/log/journal/016627c3c4784cd4812d4b7e96a34226/system.journal
corrupted or uncleanly shut down, renaming and replacing.
  (Mike Galbraith).

* NetworkManager reports "networking disabled" and networking is broken
  after resume 50% of the time (Pavel).  [May be because of systemd.]

* MATE desktop dims the display and starts the screensaver right after
  system resume (Pavel).

* Full system hang during resume (me).  [May be due to systemd or NM or both.]

That happens on debian and open suse systems.

It's sad, that these problems were neither catched in -next nor by those
folks who expressed interest in this change.

timekeeping: Remove __current_kernel_time()

2018-04-17T15:18:05+00:00

The __current_kernel_time() function based on 'struct timespec' is no
longer recommended for new code, and the only user of this function has
been replaced by commit 6909e29fdefb ("kdb: use __ktime_get_real_seconds
instead of __current_kernel_time").

Remove the obsolete interface.

hrtimer: Unify MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME clock behavior

2018-03-13T06:34:23+00:00

Now that th MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME clocks are indentical remove all the special
casing.

The user space visible interfaces still support both clocks, but their behavior
is identical.

Now that the MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME clocks are the same, remove all the

the *boot* timekeeper interfaces.

timekeeping: Make the MONOTONIC clock behave like the BOOTTIME clock

2018-03-13T06:34:22+00:00

The MONOTONIC clock is not fast forwarded by the time spent in suspend on
resume. This is only done for the BOOTTIME clock. The reason why the
MONOTONIC clock is not forwarded is historical: the original Linux
implementation was using jiffies as a base for the MONOTONIC clock and
jiffies have never been advanced after resume.

At some point when timekeeping was unified in the core code, the
MONONOTIC clock was advanced after resume which also advanced jiffies causing
interesting side effects. As a consequence the the MONOTONIC clock forwarding
was disabled again and the BOOTTIME clock was introduced, which allows to read
time since boot.

Back then it was not possible to completely distangle the MONOTONIC clock and
jiffies because there were still interfaces which exposed the MONOTONIC clock
behaviour based on the timer wheel and therefore jiffies.

As of today none of the MONOTONIC clock facilities depends on jiffies
anymore so the forwarding can be done seperately. This is achieved by
forwarding the variables which are used for the jiffies update after resume
before the tick is restarted,

In timekeeping resume, the change is rather simple. Instead of updating the
offset between the MONOTONIC clock and the REALTIME/BOOTTIME clocks, advance the
time keeper base for the MONOTONIC and the MONOTONIC_RAW clocks by the time
spent in suspend.

The MONOTONIC clock is now the same as the BOOTTIME clock and the offset between
the REALTIME and the MONOTONIC clocks is the same as before suspend.

There might be side effects in applications, which rely on the
(unfortunately) well documented behaviour of the MONOTONIC clock, but the
downsides of the existing behaviour are probably worse.

There is one obvious issue. Up to now it was possible to retrieve the time
spent in suspend by observing the delta between the MONOTONIC clock and the
BOOTTIME clock. This is not longer available, but the previously introduced
mechanism to read the active non-suspended monotonic time can mitigate that
in a detectable fashion.

timekeeping: Add the new CLOCK_MONOTONIC_ACTIVE clock

2018-03-13T06:34:21+00:00

The planned change to unify the behaviour of the MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME
clocks vs. suspend removes the ability to retrieve the active
non-suspended time of a system.

Provide a new CLOCK_MONOTONIC_ACTIVE clock which returns the active
non-suspended time of the system via clock_gettime().

This preserves the old behaviour of CLOCK_MONOTONIC before the
BOOTTIME/MONOTONIC unification.

This new clock also allows applications to detect programmatically that
the MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME clocks are identical.

timekeeping/ntp: Determine the multiplier directly from NTP tick length

2018-03-10T08:12:41+00:00

When the length of the NTP tick changes significantly, e.g. when an
NTP/PTP application is correcting the initial offset of the clock, a
large value may accumulate in the NTP error before the multiplier
converges to the correct value. It may then take a very long time (hours
or even days) before the error is corrected. This causes the clock to
have an unstable frequency offset, which has a negative impact on the
stability of synchronization with precise time sources (e.g. NTP/PTP
using hardware timestamping or the PTP KVM clock).

Use division to determine the correct multiplier directly from the NTP
tick length and replace the iterative approach. This removes the last
major source of the NTP error. The only remaining source is now limited
resolution of the multiplier, which is corrected by adding 1 to the
multiplier when the system clock is behind the NTP time.
