2015-04-22hrtimer: Make offset update smarterThomas Gleixner
On every tick/hrtimer interrupt we update the offset variables of the clock bases. That's silly because these offsets change very seldom. Add a sequence counter to the time keeping code which keeps track of the offset updates (clock_was_set()). Have a sequence cache in the hrtimer cpu bases to evaluate whether the offsets must be updated or not. This allows us later to avoid pointless cacheline pollution.

2015-04-22hrtimer: Get rid of softirq timeThomas Gleixner
The softirq time field in the clock bases is an optimization from the early days of hrtimers. It provides a coarse "jiffies" like time mostly for self rearming timers. But that comes with a price: - Larger code size - Extra storage space - Duplicated functions with really small differences The benefit of this is optimization is marginal for contemporary systems. Consolidate everything on the high resolution timer implementation. This makes further optimizations possible.

2015-04-22timekeeping: Remove stale function prototypeThomas Gleixner
commit 61edec81d260 "timekeeping: Simplify timekeeping_clocktai()" implemented timekeeping_clocktai() as an inline function, but left the old extern prototype in the header file. Remove it. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

2015-02-15PM / sleep: Make it possible to quiesce timers during suspend-to-idleRafael J. Wysocki
The efficiency of suspend-to-idle depends on being able to keep CPUs in the deepest available idle states for as much time as possible. Ideally, they should only be brought out of idle by system wakeup interrupts. However, timer interrupts occurring periodically prevent that from happening and it is not practical to chase all of the "misbehaving" timers in a whack-a-mole fashion. A much more effective approach is to suspend the local ticks for all CPUs and the entire timekeeping along the lines of what is done during full suspend, which also helps to keep suspend-to-idle and full suspend reasonably similar. The idea is to suspend the local tick on each CPU executing cpuidle_enter_freeze() and to make the last of them suspend the entire timekeeping. That should prevent timer interrupts from triggering until an IO interrupt wakes up one of the CPUs. It needs to be done with interrupts disabled on all of the CPUs, though, because otherwise the suspended clocksource might be accessed by an interrupt handler which might lead to fatal consequences. Unfortunately, the existing ->enter callbacks provided by cpuidle drivers generally cannot be used for implementing that, because some of them re-enable interrupts temporarily and some idle entry methods cause interrupts to be re-enabled automatically on exit. Also some of these callbacks manipulate local clock event devices of the CPUs which really shouldn't be done after suspending their ticks. To overcome that difficulty, introduce a new cpuidle state callback, ->enter_freeze, that will be guaranteed (1) to keep interrupts disabled all the time (and return with interrupts disabled) and (2) not to touch the CPU timer devices. Modify cpuidle_enter_freeze() to look for the deepest available idle state with ->enter_freeze present and to make the CPU execute that callback with suspended tick (and the last of the online CPUs to execute it with suspended timekeeping).

2014-07-23time: Consolidate the time accessor prototypesThomas Gleixner
Right now we have time related prototypes in 3 different header files. Move it to a single timekeeping header file and move the core internal stuff into a core private header. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org>
