2023-06-05locking/atomic: treewide: use raw_atomic*_<op>()Mark Rutland
Now that we have raw_atomic*_<op>() definitions, there's no need to use arch_atomic*_<op>() definitions outside of the low-level atomic definitions. Move treewide users of arch_atomic*_<op>() over to the equivalent raw_atomic*_<op>(). There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

2023-01-31x86/pvclock: Improve atomic update of last_value in pvclock_clocksource_read()Uros Bizjak
Improve atomic update of last_value in pvclock_clocksource_read: - Atomic update can be skipped if the "last_value" is already equal to "ret". - The detection of atomic update failure is not correct. The value, returned by atomic64_cmpxchg should be compared to the old value from the location to be updated. If these two are the same, then atomic update succeeded and "last_value" location is updated to "ret" in an atomic way. Otherwise, the atomic update failed and it should be retried with the value from "last_value" - exactly what atomic64_try_cmpxchg does in a correct and more optimal way.

2018-05-19x86: Convert x86_platform_ops to timespec64Arnd Bergmann
The x86 platform operations are fairly isolated, so it's easy to change them from using timespec to timespec64. It has been checked that all the users and callers are safe, and there is only one critical function that is broken beyond 2106: pvclock_read_wallclock() uses a 32-bit number of seconds since the epoch to communicate the boot time between host and guest in a virtual environment. This will work until 2106, but fixing this is outside the scope of this change, Add a comment at least.

2017-11-08x86/pvclock: add setter for pvclock_pvti_cpu0_vaJoao Martins
Right now there is only a pvclock_pvti_cpu0_va() which is defined on kvmclock since: commit dac16fba6fc5 ("x86/vdso: Get pvclock data from the vvar VMA instead of the fixmap") The only user of this interface so far is kvm. This commit adds a setter function for the pvti page and moves pvclock_pvti_cpu0_va to pvclock, which is a more generic place to have it; and would allow other PV clocksources to use it, such as Xen. While moving pvclock_pvti_cpu0_va into pvclock, rename also this function to pvclock_get_pvti_cpu0_va (including its call sites) to be symmetric with the setter (pvclock_set_pvti_cpu0_va).

2016-09-20KVM: x86: introduce get_kvmclock_nsPaolo Bonzini
Introduce a function that reads the exact nanoseconds value that is provided to the guest in kvmclock. This crystallizes the notion of kvmclock as a thin veneer over a stable TSC, that the guest will (hopefully) convert with NTP. In other words, kvmclock is *not* a paravirtualized host-to-guest NTP. Drop the get_kernel_ns() function, that was used both to get the base value of the master clock and to get the current value of kvmclock. The former use is replaced by ktime_get_boot_ns(), the latter is the purpose of get_kernel_ns(). This also allows KVM to provide a Hyper-V time reference counter that is synchronized with the time that is computed from the TSC page.

2016-06-27pvclock: Add CPU barriers to get correct version valueMinfei Huang
Protocol for the "version" fields is: hypervisor raises it (making it uneven) before it starts updating the fields and raises it again (making it even) when it is done. Thus the guest can make sure the time values it got are consistent by checking the version before and after reading them. Add CPU barries after getting version value just like what function vread_pvclock does, because all of callees in this function is inline.

2015-04-27x86: pvclock: Really remove the sched notifier for cross-cpu migrationsPaolo Bonzini
This reverts commits 0a4e6be9ca17c54817cf814b4b5aa60478c6df27 and 80f7fdb1c7f0f9266421f823964fd1962681f6ce. The task migration notifier was originally introduced in order to support the pvclock vsyscall with non-synchronized TSC, but KVM only supports it with synchronized TSC. Hence, on KVM the race condition is only needed due to a bad implementation on the host side, and even then it's so rare that it's mostly theoretical. As far as KVM is concerned it's possible to fix the host, avoiding the additional complexity in the vDSO and the (re)introduction of the task migration notifier. Xen, on the other hand, hasn't yet implemented vsyscall support at all, so we do not care about its plans for non-synchronized TSC.

2010-05-19x86, paravirt: Add a global synchronization point for pvclockGlauber Costa
In recent stress tests, it was found that pvclock-based systems could seriously warp in smp systems. Using ingo's time-warp-test.c, I could trigger a scenario as bad as 1.5mi warps a minute in some systems. (to be fair, it wasn't that bad in most of them). Investigating further, I found out that such warps were caused by the very offset-based calculation pvclock is based on. This happens even on some machines that report constant_tsc in its tsc flags, specially on multi-socket ones. Two reads of the same kernel timestamp at approx the same time, will likely have tsc timestamped in different occasions too. This means the delta we calculate is unpredictable at best, and can probably be smaller in a cpu that is legitimately reading clock in a forward ocasion. Some adjustments on the host could make this window less likely to happen, but still, it pretty much poses as an intrinsic problem of the mechanism. A while ago, I though about using a shared variable anyway, to hold clock last state, but gave up due to the high contention locking was likely to introduce, possibly rendering the thing useless on big machines. I argue, however, that locking is not necessary. We do a read-and-return sequence in pvclock, and between read and return, the global value can have changed. However, it can only have changed by means of an addition of a positive value. So if we detected that our clock timestamp is less than the current global, we know that we need to return a higher one, even though it is not exactly the one we compared to. OTOH, if we detect we're greater than the current time source, we atomically replace the value with our new readings. This do causes contention on big boxes (but big here means *BIG*), but it seems like a good trade off, since it provide us with a time source guaranteed to be stable wrt time warps. After this patch is applied, I don't see a single warp in time during 5 days of execution, in any of the machines I saw them before.

2008-10-15x86: paravirt: factor out cpu_khz to common codeGlauber Costa
KVM intends to use paravirt code to calibrate khz. Xen current code will do just fine. So as a first step, factor out code to pvclock.c. Signed-off-by: Glauber Costa <gcosta@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
2008-06-24x86: Add structs and functions for paravirt clocksourceGerd Hoffmann
This patch adds structs for the paravirt clocksource ABI used by both xen and kvm (pvclock-abi.h). It also adds some helper functions to read system time and wall clock time from a paravirtual clocksource (pvclock.[ch]). They are based on the xen code. They are enabled using CONFIG_PARAVIRT_CLOCK. Subsequent patches of this series will put the code in use.
