sched/clock, x86/tsc: Rework the x86 'unstable' sched_clock() interface

2017-03-02T07:50:49Z

Wanpeng Li reported that since the following commit: acb04058de49 ("sched/clock: Fix hotplug crash") ... KVM always runs with unstable sched-clock even though KVM's kvm_clock _is_ stable. The problem is that we've tied clear_sched_clock_stable() to the TSC state, and overlooked that sched_clock() is a paravirt function. Solve this by doing two things: - tie the sched_clock() stable state more clearly to the TSC stable state for the normal (!paravirt) case. - only call clear_sched_clock_stable() when we mark TSC unstable when we use native_sched_clock(). The first means we can actually run with stable sched_clock in more situations then before, which is good. And since commit: 12907fbb1a69 ("sched/clock, clocksource: Add optional cs::mark_unstable() method") ... this should be reliable. Since any detection of TSC fail now results in marking the TSC unstable.

We are going to split out of , which will have to be picked up from other headers and .c files. Create a trivial placeholder file that just maps to to make this patch obviously correct and bisectable. Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

x86/boot/e820: Move asm/e820.h to asm/e820/api.h

2017-01-28T08:31:13Z

In line with asm/e820/types.h, move the e820 API declarations to asm/e820/api.h and update all usage sites. This is just a mechanical, obviously correct move & replace patch, there will be subsequent changes to clean up the code and to make better use of the new header organization.

sched/clock: Fix hotplug crash

2017-01-20T01:38:46Z

Mike reported that he could trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE() in set_sched_clock_stable() using hotplug. This exposed a fundamental problem with the interface, we should never mark the TSC stable if we ever find it to be unstable. Therefore set_sched_clock_stable() is a broken interface. The reason it existed is that not having it is a pain, it means all relevant architecture code needs to call clear_sched_clock_stable() where appropriate. Of the three architectures that select HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK ia64 and parisc are trivial in that they never called set_sched_clock_stable(), so add an unconditional call to clear_sched_clock_stable() to them. For x86 the story is a lot more involved, and what this patch tries to do is ensure we preserve the status quo. So even is Cyrix or Transmeta have usable TSC they never called set_sched_clock_stable() so they now get an explicit mark unstable.
