The clocksource watchdog code has over time reached the state of an
impenetrable maze of duct tape and staples. The original design, which was
made in the context of systems far smaller than today, is based on the
assumption that the to be monitored clocksource (TSC) can be trivially
compared against a known to be stable clocksource (HPET/ACPI-PM timer).
Over the years it turned out that this approach has major flaws:
- Long delays between watchdog invocations can result in wrap arounds
of the reference clocksource
- Scalability of the reference clocksource readout can degrade on large
multi-socket systems due to interconnect congestion
This was addressed with various heuristics which degraded the accuracy of
the watchdog to the point that it fails to detect actual TSC problems on
older hardware which exposes slow inter CPU drifts due to firmware
manipulating the TSC to hide SMI time.
To address this and bring back sanity to the watchdog, rewrite the code
completely with a different approach:
1) Restrict the validation against a reference clocksource to the boot
CPU, which is usually the CPU/Socket closest to the legacy block which
contains the reference source (HPET/ACPI-PM timer). Validate that the
reference readout is within a bound latency so that the actual
comparison against the TSC stays within 500ppm as long as the clocks
are stable.
2) Compare the TSCs of the other CPUs in a round robin fashion against
the boot CPU in the same way the TSC synchronization on CPU hotplug
works. This still can suffer from delayed reaction of the remote CPU
to the SMP function call and the latency of the control variable cache
line. But this latency is not affecting correctness. It only affects
the accuracy. With low contention the readout latency is in the low
nanoseconds range, which detects even slight skews between CPUs. Under
high contention this becomes obviously less accurate, but still
detects slow skews reliably as it solely relies on subsequent readouts
being monotonically increasing. It just can take slightly longer to
detect the issue.
3) Rewrite the watchdog test so it tests the various mechanisms one by
one and validating the result against the expectation.

Unconditionally setting the CLOCK_SOURCE_VALID_FOR_HRES for the real TSC
clocksource is wrong as there is no guarantee that the early TSC was
validated for high resolution mode.
Set the flag only when the early TSC was validated as otherwise the
clocksource selection might enable high resolution mode with a TSC of
unknown quality and possibly no way to back out once it is discovered to be
unsuitable.

The TSC deadline timer is directly coupled to the TSC and setting the next
deadline is tedious as the clockevents core code converts the
CLOCK_MONOTONIC based absolute expiry time to a relative expiry by reading
the current time from the TSC. It converts that delta to cycles and hands
the result to lapic_next_deadline(), which then has read to the TSC and add
the delta to program the timer.
The core code now supports coupled clock event devices and can provide the
expiry time in TSC cycles directly without reading the TSC at all.
This obviouly works only when the TSC is the current clocksource, but
that's the default for all modern CPUs which implement the TSC deadline
timer. If the TSC is not the current clocksource (e.g. early boot) then the
core code falls back to the relative set_next_event() callback as before.

Read-mostly sched_clock_irqtime may share the same cacheline with
frequently updated nohz struct. Make it as static_key to avoid
false sharing issue.
The only user of disable_sched_clock_irqtime()
is tsc_.*mark_unstable() which may be invoked under atomic context
and require a workqueue to disable static_key. But both of them
calls clear_sched_clock_stable() just before doing
disable_sched_clock_irqtime(). We can reuse
"sched_clock_work" to also disable sched_clock_irqtime().
One additional case need to handle is if the tsc is marked unstable
before late_initcall() phase, sched_clock_work will not be invoked
and sched_clock_irqtime will stay enabled although clock is unstable:
tsc_init()
enable_sched_clock_irqtime() # irqtime accounting is enabled here
...
if (unsynchronized_tsc()) # true
mark_tsc_unstable()
clear_sched_clock_stable()
__sched_clock_stable_early = 0;
...
if (static_key_count(&sched_clock_running.key) == 2)
# Only happens at sched_clock_init_late()
__clear_sched_clock_stable(); # Never executed
...
# late_initcall() phase
sched_clock_init_late()
if (__sched_clock_stable_early) # Already false
__set_sched_clock_stable(); # sched_clock is never marked stable
# TSC unstable, but sched_clock_work won't run to disable irqtime
So we need to disable_sched_clock_irqtime() in sched_clock_init_late()
if clock is unstable.

TSC could be reset in deep ACPI sleep states, even with invariant TSC.
That's the reason we have sched_clock() save/restore functions, to deal
with this situation. But what happens is that such functions are guarded
with a check for the stability of sched_clock - if not considered stable,
the save/restore routines aren't executed.
On top of that, we have a clear comment in native_sched_clock() saying
that *even* with TSC unstable, we continue using TSC for sched_clock due
to its speed.
In other words, if we have a situation of TSC getting detected as unstable,
it marks the sched_clock as unstable as well, so subsequent S3 sleep cycles
could bring bogus sched_clock values due to the lack of the save/restore
mechanism, causing warnings like this:
[22.954918] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[22.954923] Delta way too big! 18446743750843854390 ts=18446744072977390405 before=322133536015 after=322133536015 write stamp=18446744072977390405
[22.954923] If you just came from a suspend/resume,
[22.954923] please switch to the trace global clock:
[22.954923] echo global > /sys/kernel/tracing/trace_clock
[22.954923] or add trace_clock=global to the kernel command line
[22.954937] WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 5728 at kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c:2890 rb_add_timestamp+0x193/0x1c0
Notice that the above was reproduced even with "trace_clock=global".
The fix for that is to _always_ save/restore the sched_clock on suspend
cycle _if TSC is used_ as sched_clock - only if we fallback to jiffies
the sched_clock_stable() check becomes relevant to save/restore the
sched_clock.

The unsynchronized_tsc() eventually checks num_possible_cpus(), and if the
system is non-Intel and the number of possible CPUs is greater than one,
assumes that TSCs are unsynchronized. This despite the comment saying
"assume multi socket systems are not synchronized", that is, socket rather
than CPU. This behavior was preserved by commit 8fbbc4b45c ("x86: merge
tsc_init and clocksource code") and by the previous relevant commit
7e69f2b1ea ("clocksource: Remove the update callback").
The clocksource drivers were added by commit 5d0cf410e9 ("Time: i386
Clocksource Drivers") back in 2006, and the comment still said "socket"
rather than "CPU".
Therefore, bravely (and perhaps foolishly) make the code match the
comment.
Note that it is possible to bypass both code and comment by booting
with tsc=reliable, but this also disables the clocksource watchdog,
which is undesirable when trust in the TSC is strictly limited.

Commit b50db7095f ("x86/tsc: Disable clocksource watchdog for TSC on
qualified platorms") was introduced to solve problem that sometimes TSC
clocksource is wrongly judged as unstable by watchdog like 'jiffies', HPET,
etc.
In it, the hardware package number is a key factor for judging whether to
disable the watchdog for TSC, and 'nr_online_nodes' was chosen due to, at
that time (kernel v5.1x), it is available in early boot phase before
registering 'tsc-early' clocksource, where all non-boot CPUs are not
brought up yet.
Dave and Rui pointed out there are many cases in which 'nr_online_nodes'
is cheated and not accurate, like:
* SNC (sub-numa cluster) mode enabled
* numa emulation (numa=fake=8 etc.)
* numa=off
* platforms with CPU-less HBM nodes, CPU-less Optane memory nodes.
* 'maxcpus=' cmdline setup, where chopped CPUs could be onlined later
* 'nr_cpus=', 'possible_cpus=' cmdline setup, where chopped CPUs can
not be onlined after boot
The SNC case is the most user-visible case, as many CSP (Cloud Service
Provider) enable this feature in their server fleets. When SNC3 enabled, a
2 socket machine will appear to have 6 NUMA nodes, and get impacted by the
issue in reality.
Thomas' recent patchset of refactoring x86 topology code improves
topology_max_packages() greatly, by making it more accurate and available
in early boot phase, which works well in most of the above cases.
The only exceptions are 'nr_cpus=' and 'possible_cpus=' setup, which may
under-estimate the package number. As during topology setup, the boot CPU
iterates through all enumerated APIC IDs and either accepts or rejects the
APIC ID. For accepted IDs, it figures out which bits of the ID map to the
package number. It tracks which package numbers have been seen in a
bitmap. topology_max_packages() just returns the number of bits set in
that bitmap.
'nr_cpus=' and 'possible_cpus=' can cause more APIC IDs to be rejected and
can artificially lower the number of bits in the package bitmap and thus
topology_max_packages(). This means that, for example, a system with 8
physical packages might reject all the CPUs on 6 of those packages and be
left with only 2 packages and 2 bits set in the package bitmap. It needs
the TSC watchdog, but would disable it anyway. This isn't ideal, but it
only happens for debug-oriented options. This is fixable by tracking the
package numbers for rejected CPUs. But it's not worth the trouble for
debugging.
So use topology_max_packages() to replace nr_online_nodes().

Add a clocksource ID for TSC and a distinct one for the early TSC.
Use distinct IDs for TSC and early TSC, since those also have distinct
clocksource structs. This should help to keep existing semantics when
comparing clocksources.
Also, set the recently added struct system_counterval_t member cs_id to the
TSC ID in the cases where the clocksource member is being set to the TSC
clocksource. In the future, get_device_system_crosststamp() will compare
the clocksource ID in struct system_counterval_t, rather than the
clocksource.
For the x86 ART related code, system_counterval_t.cs == NULL corresponds to
system_counterval_t.cs_id == CSID_GENERIC (0).

There were reports again that the tsc clocksource on 4 sockets x86
servers was wrongly judged as 'unstable' by 'jiffies' and other
watchdogs, and disabled [1][2].
Commit b50db7095f ("x86/tsc: Disable clocksource watchdog for TSC
on qualified platorms") was introduce to deal with these false
alarms of tsc unstable issues, covering qualified platforms for 2
sockets or smaller ones. And from history of chasing TSC issues,
Thomas and Peter only saw real TSC synchronization issue on 8 socket
machines.
So extend the exemption to 4 sockets to fix the issue.
Rui also proposed another way to disable 'jiffies' as clocksource
watchdog [3], which can also solve problem in [1]. in an architecture
independent way, but can't cure the problem in [2]. whose watchdog
is HPET or PMTIMER, while 'jiffies' is mostly used as watchdog in
boot phase.
'nr_online_nodes' has known inaccurate problem for cases like
platform with cpu-less memory nodes, sub numa cluster enabled,
fakenuma, kernel cmdline parameter 'maxcpus=', etc. The harmful case
is the 'maxcpus' one which could possibly under estimates the package
number, and disable the watchdog, but bright side is it is mostly
for debug usage. All these will be addressed in other patches, as
discussed in thread [4].

- 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 & 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->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

Core:
- Yet another round of improvements to make the clocksource watchdog
more robust:
- Relax the clocksource-watchdog skew criteria to match the NTP
criteria.
- Temporarily skip the watchdog when high memory latencies are
detected which can lead to false-positives.
- Provide an option to enable TSC skew detection even on systems
where TSC is marked as reliable.
Sigh!
- Initialize the restart block in the nanosleep syscalls to be directed
to the no restart function instead of doing a partial setup on entry.
This prevents an erroneous restart_syscall() invocation from
corrupting user space data. While such a situation is clearly a user
space bug, preventing this is a correctness issue and caters to the
least suprise principle.
- Ignore the hrtimer slack for realtime tasks in schedule_hrtimeout()
to align it with the nanosleep semantics.
Drivers:
- The obligatory new driver bindings for Mediatek, Rockchip and RISC-V
variants.
- Add support for the C3STOP misfeature to the RISC-V timer to handle
the case where the timer stops in deeper idle state.
- Set up a static key in the RISC-V timer correctly before first use.
- The usual small improvements and fixes all over the place

Unconditionally enabling TSC watchdog checking of the HPET and PMTMR
clocksources can degrade latency and performance. Therefore, provide
a new "watchdog" option to the tsc= boot parameter that opts into such
checking. Note that tsc=watchdog is overridden by a tsc=nowatchdog
regardless of their relative positions in the list of boot parameters.

On systems with two or fewer sockets, when the boot CPU has CONSTANT_TSC,
NONSTOP_TSC, and TSC_ADJUST, clocksource watchdog verification of the
TSC is disabled. This works well much of the time, but there is the
occasional production-level system that meets all of these criteria, but
which still has a TSC that skews significantly from atomic-clock time.
This is usually attributed to a firmware or hardware fault. Yes, the
various NTP daemons do express their opinions of userspace-to-atomic-clock
time skew, but they put them in various places, depending on the daemon
and distro in question. It would therefore be good for the kernel to
have some clue that there is a problem.
The old behavior of marking the TSC unstable is a non-starter because a
great many workloads simply cannot tolerate the overheads and latencies
of the various non-TSC clocksources. In addition, NTP-corrected systems
sometimes can tolerate significant kernel-space time skew as long as
the userspace time sources are within epsilon of atomic-clock time.
Therefore, when watchdog verification of TSC is disabled, enable it for
HPET and PMTMR (AKA ACPI PM timer). This provides the needed in-kernel
time-skew diagnostic without degrading the system's performance.

The kernel assumes that the TSC frequency which is provided by the
hardware / firmware via MSRs or CPUID(0x15) is correct after applying
a few basic consistency checks. This disables the TSC recalibration
against HPET or PM timer.
As a result there is no mechanism to validate that frequency in cases
where a firmware or hardware defect is suspected. And there was case
that some user used atomic clock to measure the TSC frequency and
reported an inaccuracy issue, which was later fixed in firmware.
Add an option 'recalibrate' for 'tsc' kernel parameter to force the
tsc freq recalibration with HPET or PM timer, and warn if the
deviation from previous value is more than about 500 PPM, which
provides a way to verify the data from hardware / firmware.
There is no functional change to existing work flow.
Recently there was a real-world case: "The 40ms/s divergence between
TSC and HPET was observed on hardware that is quite recent" [1], on
that platform the TSC frequence 1896 MHz was got from CPUID(0x15),
and the force-reclibration with HPET/PMTIMER both calibrated out
value of 1975 MHz, which also matched with check from software
'chronyd', indicating it's a problem of BIOS or firmware.

Currently loops_per_jiffy is set in tsc_early_init(), but then don't
switch to delay_tsc, with the result that delay_loop is used with
loops_per_jiffy set for delay_tsc.
Then in (late) tsc_init() lpj_fine is set (which is mostly unused) and
after which use_tsc_delay() is finally called.
Move both loops_per_jiffy and use_tsc_delay() into
tsc_enable_sched_clock() which is called the moment tsc_khz is
determined, be it early or late. Keeping the lot consistent.

There are cases that the TSC clocksource is wrongly judged as unstable by
the clocksource watchdog mechanism which tries to validate the TSC against
HPET, PM_TIMER or jiffies. While there is hardly a general reliable way to
check the validity of a watchdog, Thomas Gleixner proposed [1]:
"I'm inclined to lift that requirement when the CPU has:
1) X86_FEATURE_CONSTANT_TSC
2) X86_FEATURE_NONSTOP_TSC
3) X86_FEATURE_NONSTOP_TSC_S3
4) X86_FEATURE_TSC_ADJUST
5) At max. 4 sockets
After two decades of horrors we're finally at a point where TSC seems
to be halfway reliable and less abused by BIOS tinkerers. TSC_ADJUST
was really key as we can now detect even small modifications reliably
and the important point is that we can cure them as well (not pretty
but better than all other options)."
As feature #3 X86_FEATURE_NONSTOP_TSC_S3 only exists on several generations
of Atom processorz, and is always coupled with X86_FEATURE_CONSTANT_TSC
and X86_FEATURE_NONSTOP_TSC, skip checking it, and also be more defensive
to use maximal 2 sockets.
The check is done inside tsc_init() before registering 'tsc-early' and
'tsc' clocksources, as there were cases that both of them had been
wrongly judged as unreliable.
For more background of tsc/watchdog, there is a good summary in [2]
[tglx} Update vs. jiffies:
On systems where the only remaining clocksource aside of TSC is jiffies
there is no way to make this work because that creates a circular
dependency. Jiffies accuracy depends on not missing a periodic timer
interrupt, which is not guaranteed. That could be detected by TSC, but as
TSC is not trusted this cannot be compensated. The consequence is a
circulus vitiosus which results in shutting down TSC and falling back to
the jiffies clocksource which is even more unreliable.

Currently, WATCHDOG_THRESHOLD is set to detect a 62.5-millisecond skew in
a 500-millisecond WATCHDOG_INTERVAL. This requires that clocks be skewed
by more than 12.5% in order to be marked unstable. Except that a clock
that is skewed by that much is probably destroying unsuspecting software
right and left. And given that there are now checks for false-positive
skews due to delays between reading the two clocks, it should be possible
to greatly decrease WATCHDOG_THRESHOLD, at least for fine-grained clocks
such as TSC.
Therefore, add a new uncertainty_margin field to the clocksource structure
that contains the maximum uncertainty in nanoseconds for the corresponding
clock. This field may be initialized manually, as it is for
clocksource_tsc_early and clocksource_jiffies, which is copied to
refined_jiffies. If the field is not initialized manually, it will be
computed at clock-registry time as the period of the clock in question
based on the scale and freq parameters to __clocksource_update_freq_scale()
function. If either of those two parameters are zero, the
tens-of-milliseconds WATCHDOG_THRESHOLD is used as a cowardly alternative
to dividing by zero. No matter how the uncertainty_margin field is
calculated, it is bounded below by twice WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW, that is, by 100
microseconds.
Note that manually initialized uncertainty_margin fields are not adjusted,
but there is a WARN_ON_ONCE() that triggers if any such field is less than
twice WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW. This WARN_ON_ONCE() is intended to discourage
production use of the one-nanosecond uncertainty_margin values that are
used to test the clock-skew code itself.
The actual clock-skew check uses the sum of the uncertainty_margin fields
of the two clocksource structures being compared. Integer overflow is
avoided because the largest computed value of the uncertainty_margin
fields is one billion (10^9), and double that value fits into an
unsigned int. However, if someone manually specifies (say) UINT_MAX,
they will get what they deserve.
Note that the refined_jiffies uncertainty_margin field is initialized to
TICK_NSEC, which means that skew checks involving this clocksource will
be sufficently forgiving. In a similar vein, the clocksource_tsc_early
uncertainty_margin field is initialized to 32*NSEC_PER_MSEC, which
replicates the current behavior and allows custom setting if needed
in order to address the rare skews detected for this clocksource in
current mainline.

Some sorts of per-CPU clock sources have a history of going out of
synchronization with each other. However, this problem has purportedy been
solved in the past ten years. Except that it is all too possible that the
problem has instead simply been made less likely, which might mean that
some of the occasional "Marking clocksource 'tsc' as unstable" messages
might be due to desynchronization. How would anyone know?
Therefore apply CPU-to-CPU synchronization checking to newly unstable
clocksource that are marked with the new CLOCK_SOURCE_VERIFY_PERCPU flag.
Lists of desynchronized CPUs are printed, with the caveat that if it
is the reporting CPU that is itself desynchronized, it will appear that
all the other clocks are wrong. Just like in real life.

Changing base clock frequency directly impacts TSC Hz but not CPUID.16h
value. An overclocked CPU supporting CPUID.16h and with partial CPUID.15h
support will set TSC KHZ according to "best guess" given by CPUID.16h
relying on tsc_refine_calibration_work to give better numbers later.
tsc_refine_calibration_work will refuse to do its work when the outcome is
off the early TSC KHZ value by more than 1% which is certain to happen on
an overclocked system.
Fix this by adding a tsc_early_khz command line parameter that makes the
kernel skip early TSC calibration and use the given value instead.
This allows the user to provide the expected TSC frequency that is closer
to reality than the one reported by the hardware, enabling
tsc_refine_calibration_work to do meaningful error checking.
