Revert "time: Remove xtime_cache" This reverts commit 7bc7d637452383d56ba4368d4336b0dde1bb476d, as requested by John Stultz. Quoting John: "Petr Titěra reported an issue where he saw odd atime regressions with 2.6.33 where there were a full second worth of nanoseconds in the nanoseconds field. He also reviewed the time code and narrowed down the problem: unhandled overflow of the nanosecond field caused by rounding up the sub-nanosecond accumulated time. Details: * At the end of update_wall_time(), we currently round up the sub-nanosecond portion of accumulated time when storing it into xtime. This was added to avoid time inconsistencies caused when the sub-nanosecond portion was truncated when storing into xtime. Unfortunately we don't handle the possible second overflow caused by that rounding. * Previously the xtime_cache code hid this overflow by normalizing the xtime value when storing into the xtime_cache. * We could try to handle the second overflow after the rounding up, but since this affects the timekeeping's internal state, this would further complicate the next accumulation cycle, causing small errors in ntp steering. As much as I'd like to get rid of it, the xtime_cache code is known to work. * The correct fix is really to include the sub-nanosecond portion in the timekeeping accessor function, so we don't need to round up at during accumulation. This would greatly simplify the accumulation code. Unfortunately, we can't do this safely until the last three non-GENERIC_TIME arches (sparc32, arm, cris) are converted (those patches are in -mm) and we kill off the spots where arches set xtime directly. This is all 2.6.34 material, so I think reverting the xtime_cache change is the best approach for now. Many thanks to Petr for both reporting and finding the issue!"

time: Implement logarithmic time accumulation Accumulating one tick at a time works well unless we're using NOHZ. Then it can be an issue, since we may have to run through the loop a few thousand times, which can increase timer interrupt caused latency. The current solution was to accumulate in half-second intervals with NOHZ. This kept the number of loops down, however it did slightly change how we make NTP adjustments. While not an issue with NTPd users, as NTPd makes adjustments over a longer period of time, other adjtimex() users have noticed the half-second granularity with which we can apply frequency changes to the clock. For instance, if a application tries to apply a 100ppm frequency correction for 20ms to correct a 2us offset, with NOHZ they either get no correction, or a 50us correction. Now, there will always be some granularity error for applying frequency corrections. However with users sensitive to this error have seen a 50-500x increase with NOHZ compared to running without NOHZ. So I figured I'd try another approach then just simply increasing the interval. My approach is to consume the time interval logarithmically. This reduces the number of times through the loop needed keeping latency down, while still preserving the original granularity error for adjtimex() changes. Further, this change allows us to remove the xtime_cache code (patch to follow), as xtime is always within one tick of the current time, instead of the half-second updates it saw before. An earlier version of this patch has been shipping to x86 users in the RedHat MRG releases for awhile without issue, but I've reworked this version to be even more careful about avoiding possible overflows if the shift value gets too large.

time: Implement logarithmic time accumulation Accumulating one tick at a time works well unless we're using NOHZ. Then it can be an issue, since we may have to run through the loop a few thousand times, which can increase timer interrupt caused latency. The current solution was to accumulate in half-second intervals with NOHZ. This kept the number of loops down, however it did slightly change how we make NTP adjustments. While not an issue with NTPd users, as NTPd makes adjustments over a longer period of time, other adjtimex() users have noticed the half-second granularity with which we can apply frequency changes to the clock. For instance, if a application tries to apply a 100ppm frequency correction for 20ms to correct a 2us offset, with NOHZ they either get no correction, or a 50us correction. Now, there will always be some granularity error for applying frequency corrections. However with users sensitive to this error have seen a 50-500x increase with NOHZ compared to running without NOHZ. So I figured I'd try another approach then just simply increasing the interval. My approach is to consume the time interval logarithmically. This reduces the number of times through the loop needed keeping latency down, while still preserving the original granularity error for adjtimex() changes. Further, this change allows us to remove the xtime_cache code (patch to follow), as xtime is always within one tick of the current time, instead of the half-second updates it saw before. An earlier version of this patch has been shipping to x86 users in the RedHat MRG releases for awhile without issue, but I've reworked this version to be even more careful about avoiding possible overflows if the shift value gets too large.

time: catch xtime_nsec underflows and fix them Impact: fix time warp bug Alex Shi, along with Yanmin Zhang have been noticing occasional time inconsistencies recently. Through their great diagnosis, they found that the xtime_nsec value used in update_wall_time was occasionally going negative. After looking through the code for awhile, I realized we have the possibility for an underflow when three conditions are met in update_wall_time(): 1) We have accumulated a second's worth of nanoseconds, so we incremented xtime.tv_sec and appropriately decrement xtime_nsec. (This doesn't cause xtime_nsec to go negative, but it can cause it to be small). 2) The remaining offset value is large, but just slightly less then cycle_interval. 3) clocksource_adjust() is speeding up the clock, causing a corrective amount (compensating for the increase in the multiplier being multiplied against the unaccumulated offset value) to be subtracted from xtime_nsec. This can cause xtime_nsec to underflow. Unfortunately, since we notify the NTP subsystem via second_overflow() whenever we accumulate a full second, and this effects the error accumulation that has already occured, we cannot simply revert the accumulated second from xtime nor move the second accumulation to after the clocksource_adjust call without a change in behavior. This leaves us with (at least) two options: 1) Simply return from clocksource_adjust() without making a change if we notice the adjustment would cause xtime_nsec to go negative. This would work, but I'm concerned that if a large adjustment was needed (due to the error being large), it may be possible to get stuck with an ever increasing error that becomes too large to correct (since it may always force xtime_nsec negative). This may just be paranoia on my part. 2) Catch xtime_nsec if it is negative, then add back the amount its negative to both xtime_nsec and the error. This second method is consistent with how we've handled earlier rounding issues, and also has the benefit that the error being added is always in the oposite direction also always equal or smaller then the correction being applied. So the risk of a corner case where things get out of control is lessened.
