Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A rather largish update for everything time and timer related:
- Cache footprint optimizations for both hrtimers and timer wheel
- Lower the NOHZ impact on systems which have NOHZ or timer migration
disabled at runtime.
- Optimize run time overhead of hrtimer interrupt by making the clock
offset updates smarter
- hrtimer cleanups and removal of restrictions to tackle some
problems in sched/perf
- Some more leap second tweaks
- Another round of changes addressing the 2038 problem
- First step to change the internals of clock event devices by
introducing the necessary infrastructure
- Allow constant folding for usecs/msecs_to_jiffies()
- The usual pile of clockevent/clocksource driver updates
The hrtimer changes contain updates to sched, perf and x86 as they
depend on them plus changes all over the tree to cleanup API changes
and redundant code, which got copied all over the place. The y2038
changes touch s390 to remove the last non 2038 safe code related to
boot/persistant clock"

If nohz is disabled on the kernel command line the [hr]timer code
still calls wake_up_nohz_cpu() and tick_nohz_full_cpu(), a pretty
pointless exercise. Cache nohz_active in [hr]timer per cpu bases and
avoid the overhead.

We probably should have a cached value for nohz full in the per cpu

already, the cpumask not necessarily.

Eric reported that the timer_migration sysctl is not really nice
performance wise as it needs to check at every timer insertion whether
the feature is enabled or not. Further the check does not live in the
timer code, so we have an extra function call which checks an extra
cache line to figure out that it is disabled.
We can do better and store that information in the per cpu (hr)timer
bases. I pondered to use a static key, but that's a nightmare to
update from the nohz code and the timer base cache line is hot anyway
when we select a timer base.
The old logic enabled the timer migration unconditionally if
CONFIG_NO_HZ was set even if nohz was disabled on the kernel command
line.
With this modification, we start off with migration disabled. The user
visible sysctl is still set to enabled. If the kernel switches to NOHZ
migration is enabled, if the user did not disable it via the sysctl
prior to the switch. If nohz=off is on the kernel command line,
migration stays disabled no matter what.

Simplify the handling of the flag storage for the timer statistics. No
intermediate storage anymore. Just hand over the flags field.
I left the printout of 'deferrable' for now because changing this
would be an ABI update and I have no idea how strong people feel about
that. OTOH, I wonder whether we should kill the whole timer stats
stuff because all of that information can be retrieved via ftrace/perf
as well.

Instead of storing a pointer to the per cpu tvec_base we can simply
cache a CPU index in the timer_list and use that to get hold of the
correct per cpu tvec_base. This is only used in lock_timer_base() and
the slightly larger code is peanuts versus the spinlock operation and
the d-cache foot print of the timer wheel.
Aside of that this allows to get rid of following nuisances:
- boot_tvec_base
That statically allocated 4k bss data is just kept around so the
timer has a home when it gets statically initialized. It serves no
other purpose.
With the CPU index we assign the timer to CPU0 at static
initialization time and therefor can avoid the whole boot_tvec_base
dance. That also simplifies the init code, which just can use the
per cpu base.

After:

17440 9193 0 26633 6809 ../build/kernel/time/timer.o
- Overloading the base pointer with various flags
The CPU index has enough space to hold the flags (deferrable,
irqsafe) so we can get rid of the extra masking and bit fiddling
with the base pointer.
As a benefit we reduce the size of struct timer_list on 64 bit
machines. 4 - 8 bytes, a size reduction up to 15% per struct timer_list,
which is a real win as we have tons of them embedded in other structs.
This changes also the newly added deferrable printout of the timer
start trace point to capture and print all timer->flags, which allows
us to decode the target cpu of the timer as well.
We might have used bitfields for this, but that would change the
static initializers and the init function for no value to accomodate
big endian bitfields.

The FIFO guarantee is only there if two timers are queued into the
same bucket at the same jiffie on the same cpu:
- The slack value depends on the delta between expiry and enqueue
time, so the resulting expiry time can be different for timers
which are queued in different jiffies.
- Timers which are queued into the secondary array end up after a
later queued timer which was queued into the primary array due to
cascading.
- Timers can end up on different cpus due to the NOHZ target moving
around. Obviously there is no guarantee of expiry ordering between
cpus.
So anything which relies on FIFO behaviour of the timer wheel is
broken already.
This is a preparatory patch for converting the timer wheel to hlist
which reduces the memory foot print of the wheel by 50%.
It's a seperate patch so any (unlikely to happen) regression caused by
this can be identified clearly.

catchup_timer_jiffies() has been applied blindly to several functions
without looking for possible better ways to do it.
1) internal_add_timer()
Move the update to base->all_timers before we actually insert the
timer into the wheel.
2) detach_if_pending()
Again the update to base->all_timers allows us to explicitely do
the timer_jiffies update in place, if this was the last timer which
got removed.
3) __run_timers()
We only check on entry, which is silly, because base->timer_jiffies
can be behind - especially on NOHZ kernels - and if there is a
single deferrable timer somewhere between base->timer_jiffies and
jiffies we expire it and then loop until base->timer_jiffies ==
jiffies.
Move it into the loop.

Currently an hrtimer callback function cannot free its own timer
because __run_hrtimer() still needs to clear HRTIMER_STATE_CALLBACK
after it. Freeing the timer would result in a clear use-after-free.
Solve this by using a scheme similar to regular timers; track the
current running timer in hrtimer_clock_base::running.

The fix in d151832650 (time: Move clock_was_set_seq update
before updating shadow-timekeeper) was unfortunately incomplete.
The main gist of that change was to do the shadow-copy update
last, so that any state changes were properly duplicated, and
we wouldn't accidentally have stale data in the shadow.
Unfortunately in the main update_wall_time() logic, we update
use the shadow-timekeeper to calculate the next update values,
then while holding the lock, copy the shadow-timekeeper over,
then call timekeeping_update() to do some additional
bookkeeping, (skipping the shadow mirror). The bug with this is
the additional bookkeeping isn't all read-only, and some
changes timkeeper state. Thus we might then overwrite this state
change on the next update.
To avoid this problem, do the timekeeping_update() on the
shadow-timekeeper prior to copying the full state over to
the real-timekeeper.
This avoids problems with both the clock_was_set_seq and
next_leap_ktime being overwritten and possibly the
fast-timekeepers as well.
Many thanks to Prarit for his rigorous testing, which discovered
this problem, along with Prarit and Daniel's work validating this
fix.

CLOCK_EVT_MODE_* macros are present for backward compatibility (as most
of the drivers are still using old ->set_mode() interface).
These macro's shouldn't be used anymore in code, that is common to both
driver interfaces, i.e. ->set_mode() and ->set_state_*().
Drivers implementing ->set_state_*() interface, which have their
clkevt->mode set to 0 (clkevt device structures are normally globally
defined), will not participate in suspend/resume as they will always be
marked as UNUSED.
Fix this by checking state of the clockevent device instead of mode,
which is updated for both the interfaces.

Since the leapsecond is applied at tick-time, this means there is a
small window of time at the start of a leap-second where we cross into
the next second before applying the leap.
This patch modified adjtimex so that the leap-second is applied on the
second edge. Providing more correct leapsecond behavior.
This does make it so that adjtimex()'s returned time values can be
inconsistent with time values read from gettimeofday() or
clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME,...) for a brief period of one tick at
the leapsecond. However, those other interfaces do not provide the
TIME_OOP time_state return that adjtimex() provides, which allows the
leapsecond to be properly represented. They instead only see a time
discontinuity, and cannot tell the first 23:59:59 from the repeated
23:59:59 leap second.
This seems like a reasonable tradeoff given clock_gettime() /
gettimeofday() cannot properly represent a leapsecond, and users
likely care more about performance, while folks who are using
adjtimex() more likely care about leap-second correctness.

Currently, leapsecond adjustments are done at tick time. As a result,
the leapsecond was applied at the first timer tick *after* the
leapsecond (~1-10ms late depending on HZ), rather then exactly on the
second edge.
This was in part historical from back when we were always tick based,
but correcting this since has been avoided since it adds extra
conditional checks in the gettime fastpath, which has performance
overhead.
However, it was recently pointed out that ABS_TIME CLOCK_REALTIME
timers set for right after the leapsecond could fire a second early,
since some timers may be expired before we trigger the timekeeping
timer, which then applies the leapsecond.
This isn't quite as bad as it sounds, since behaviorally it is similar
to what is possible w/ ntpd made leapsecond adjustments done w/o using
the kernel discipline. Where due to latencies, timers may fire just
prior to the settimeofday call. (Also, one should note that all
applications using CLOCK_REALTIME timers should always be careful,
since they are prone to quirks from settimeofday() disturbances.)
However, the purpose of having the kernel do the leap adjustment is to
avoid such latencies, so I think this is worth fixing.
So in order to properly keep those timers from firing a second early,
this patch modifies the ntp and timekeeping logic so that we keep
enough state so that the update_base_offsets_now accessor, which
provides the hrtimer core the current time, can check and apply the
leapsecond adjustment on the second edge. This prevents the hrtimer
core from expiring timers too early.
This patch does not modify any other time read path, so no additional
overhead is incurred. However, this also means that the leap-second
continues to be applied at tick time for all other read-paths.
Apologies to Richard Cochran, who pushed for similar changes years
ago, which I resisted due to the concerns about the performance
overhead.
While I suspect this isn't extremely critical, folks who care about
strict leap-second correctness will likely want to watch
this. Potentially a -stable candidate eventually.

It was reported that 868a3e915f (hrtimer: Make offset
update smarter) was causing timer problems after suspend/resume.
The problem with that change is the modification to
clock_was_set_seq in timekeeping_update is done prior to
mirroring the time state to the shadow-timekeeper. Thus the
next time we do update_wall_time() the updated sequence is
overwritten by whats in the shadow copy.
This patch moves the shadow-timekeeper mirroring to the end
of the function, after all updates have been made, so all data
is kept in sync.
(This patch also affects the update_fast_timekeeper calls which
were also problematically done prior to the mirroring).

u32 ktime_get_resolution_ns(void)
which allows to clean up some driver code.
In particular the IIO subsystem has a function to provide timestamps for
events but no means to get their resolution. So currently the dht11 driver
tries to guess the resolution in a rather messy and convoluted way. We
can do much better with the new code.
This API is not designed to be exposed to user space.

To avoid getting spurious interrupts on a tickless CPU, clockevent
device can now be stopped by switching to ONESHOT_STOPPED state.
The natural place for handling this transition is tick_program_event().
On 'expires == KTIME_MAX', we skip programming the event and so we need
to fix such call sites as well, to always call tick_program_event()
irrespective of the expires value.
Once the clockevent device is required again, check if it was earlier
put into ONESHOT_STOPPED state. If yes, switch its state to ONESHOT
before programming its event.
To make sure we haven't missed any corner case, add a WARN() for the
case where we try to reprogram clockevent device while we aren't
configured in ONESHOT_STOPPED state.

When no timers/hrtimers are pending, the expiry time is set to a
special value: 'KTIME_MAX'. This normally happens with
NO_HZ_{IDLE|FULL} in both LOWRES/HIGHRES modes.
When 'expiry == KTIME_MAX', we either cancel the 'tick-sched' hrtimer
(NOHZ_MODE_HIGHRES) or skip reprogramming clockevent device
(NOHZ_MODE_LOWRES). But, the clockevent device is already
reprogrammed from the tick-handler for next tick.
As the clock event device is programmed in ONESHOT mode it will at
least fire one more time (unnecessarily). Timers on few
implementations (like arm_arch_timer, etc.) only support PERIODIC mode
and their drivers emulate ONESHOT over that. Which means that on these
platforms we will get spurious interrupts periodically (at last
programmed interval rate, normally tick rate).
In order to avoid spurious interrupts, the clockevent device should be
stopped or its interrupts should be masked.
A simple (yet hacky) solution to get this fixed could be: update
hrtimer_force_reprogram() to always reprogram clockevent device and
update clockevent drivers to STOP generating events (or delay it to
max time) when 'expires' is set to KTIME_MAX. But the drawback here is
that every clockevent driver has to be hacked for this particular case
and its very easy for new ones to miss this.
However, Thomas suggested to add an optional state ONESHOT_STOPPED to
solve this problem: lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/9/508.
This patch adds support for ONESHOT_STOPPED state in clockevents
core. It will only be available to drivers that implement the
state-specific callbacks instead of the legacy ->set_mode() callback.

It was noted that the 32bit implementation of ktime_divns()
was doing unsigned division and didn't properly handle
negative values.
And when a ktime helper was changed to utilize
ktime_divns, it caused a regression on some IR blasters.
See the following bugzilla for details:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1200353
This patch fixes the problem in ktime_divns by checking
and preserving the sign bit, and then reapplying it if
appropriate after the division, it also changes the return
type to a s64 to make it more obvious this is expected.
Nicolas also pointed out that negative dividers would
cause infinite loops on 32bit systems, negative dividers
is unlikely for users of this function, but out of caution
this patch adds checks for negative dividers for both
32-bit (BUG_ON) and 64-bit(WARN_ON) versions to make sure
no such use cases creep in.

* 'timers-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
clockevents: Shutdown detached clockevent device
Recent optimizations were made to thread_group_cputimer to improve its
scalability by keeping track of cputime stats without a lock. However,
the values were open coded to the structure, causing them to be at
a different abstraction level from the regular task_cputime structure.
Furthermore, any subsequent similar optimizations would not be able to
share the new code, since they are specific to thread_group_cputimer.
This patch adds the new task_cputime_atomic data structure (introduced in
the previous patch in the series) to thread_group_cputimer for keeping
track of the cputime atomically, which also helps generalize the code.

While running a database workload, we found a scalability issue with itimers.
Much of the problem was caused by the thread_group_cputimer spinlock.
Each time we account for group system/user time, we need to obtain a
thread_group_cputimer's spinlock to update the timers. On larger systems
(such as a 16 socket machine), this caused more than 30% of total time
spent trying to obtain this kernel lock to update these group timer stats.
This patch converts the timers to 64-bit atomic variables and use
atomic add to update them without a lock. With this patch, the percent
of total time spent updating thread group cputimer timers was reduced
from 30% down to less than 1%.
Note: On 32-bit systems using the generic 64-bit atomics, this causes
sample_group_cputimer() to take locks 3 times instead of just 1 time.
However, we tested this patch on a 32-bit system ARM system using the
generic atomics and did not find the overhead to be much of an issue.
An explanation for why this isn't an issue is that 32-bit systems usually
have small numbers of CPUs, and cacheline contention from extra spinlocks
called periodically is not really apparent on smaller systems.

The hrtimer callback in the hrtimer's tick broadcast code sometimes
incorrectly ends up scheduling events at the current tick causing the
kernel to hang servicing the same hrtimer forever. This typically
happens when a device is swapped out by
tick_install_broadcast_device(), which replaces the event handler with
clock_events_handle_noop() and sets the device mode to
CLOCK_EVT_MODE_UNUSED. If the timer is scheduled when this happens,
the next_event field will not be updated and the hrtimer ends up being
restarted at the current tick. To prevent this from happening, only
try to restart the hrtimer if the broadcast clock event device is in
one of the active modes and try to cancel the timer when entering the
CLOCK_EVT_MODE_UNUSED mode.

Because we drop cpu_base->lock around calling hrtimer::function, it is
possible for hrtimer_start() to come in between and enqueue the timer.
If hrtimer::function then returns HRTIMER_RESTART we'll hit the BUG_ON
because HRTIMER_STATE_ENQUEUED will be set.
Since the above is a perfectly valid scenario, remove the BUG_ON and
make the enqueue_hrtimer() call conditional on the timer not being
enqueued already.
NOTE: in that concurrent scenario its entirely common for both sites
to want to modify the hrtimer, since hrtimers don't provide
serialization themselves be sure to provide some such that the
hrtimer::function and the hrtimer_start() caller don't both try and
fudge the expiration state at the same time.
To that effect, add a WARN when someone tries to forward an already
enqueued timer, the most common way to change the expiry of self
restarting timers. Ideally we'd put the WARN in everything modifying
the expiry but most of that is inlines and we don't need the bloat.
