      ntp: Fix leap-second hrtimer livelock · 6b43ae8a
      John Stultz authored
      Since commit 7dffa3c6
      
       the ntp
      subsystem has used an hrtimer for triggering the leapsecond
      adjustment. However, this can cause a potential livelock.
      
      Thomas diagnosed this as the following pattern:
      CPU 0                                                    CPU 1
      do_adjtimex()
        spin_lock_irq(&ntp_lock);
          process_adjtimex_modes();				 timer_interrupt()
            process_adj_status();                                do_timer()
              ntp_start_leap_timer();                             write_lock(&xtime_lock);
                hrtimer_start();                                  update_wall_time();
                   hrtimer_reprogram();                            ntp_tick_length()
                     tick_program_event()                            spin_lock(&ntp_lock);
                       clockevents_program_event()
      		   ktime_get()
                           seq = req_seqbegin(xtime_lock);
      
      This patch tries to avoid the problem by reverting back to not using
      an hrtimer to inject leapseconds, and instead we handle the leapsecond
      processing in the second_overflow() function.
      
      The downside to this change is that on systems that support highres
      timers, the leap second processing will occur on a HZ tick boundary,
      (ie: ~1-10ms, depending on HZ)  after the leap second instead of
      possibly sooner (~34us in my tests w/ x86_64 lapic).
      
      This patch applies on top of tip/timers/core.

        12d6d412: clocksource: scx200_hrt: Convert scx200 to use clocksource_register_hz
      
      Breaks the build on x86-32:
      
        drivers/clocksource/scx200_hrt.c: In function ‘init_hrt_clocksource’:
        drivers/clocksource/scx200_hrt.c:95:0: error: unterminated argument list invoking macro "pr_info"
        drivers/clocksource/scx200_hrt.c:84:2: error: ‘pr_info’ undeclared (first use in this function)
      
      It could not possibly have been build tested, because it had this mismerge:
      
      	pr_info("enabling scx200 high-res timer (%s MHz +%d ppm)\n",
      	printk(KERN_INFO "enabling scx200 high-res timer (%s MHz +%d ppm)\n",
      		mhz27 ? "27":"1", ppm);

      x86/tsc: Reduce the TSC sync check time for core-siblings · b0e5c779
      Suresh Siddha authored
      
      
      For each logical CPU that is coming online, we spend 20msec for
      checking the TSC synchronization. And as this is done
      sequentially for each logical CPU boot, this time gets added up
      depending on the number of logical CPU's supported by the
      platform.
      
      Minimize this by using the socket topology information.
      
      If the target CPU coming online doesn't have any of its
      core-siblings online, a timeout of 20msec will be used for the
      TSC-warp measurement loop. Otherwise a smaller timeout of 2msec
      will be used, as we have some information about this socket
      already (and this information grows as we have more and more
      logical-siblings in that socket).
      
      Ideally we should be able to skip the TSC sync check on the
      other core-siblings, if the first logical CPU in a socket passed
      the sync test. But as the TSC is per-logical CPU and can
      potentially be modified wrongly by the bios before the OS boot,
      TSC sync test for smaller duration should be able to catch such
      errors. Also this will catch the condition where all the cores
      in the socket doesn't get reset at the same time.
      
      For example, with this modification, time spent in TSC sync
      checks on a 4 socket 10-core with HT system gets reduced from
      1580msec to 212msec.

      'External Amplifier'. Add a quirk to handle his SSID so that changing
      the control is not necessary.

      This updates the sha512 fix so that it doesn't cause excessive stack
      usage on i386.  This is done by reverting to the original code, and
      avoiding the W duplication by moving its initialisation into the loop.
      
      As the underlying code is in fact the one that we have used for years,
      I'm pushing this now instead of postponing to the next cycle.

      powerpc/pseries/eeh: Fix crash when error happens during device probe · 778a785f
      Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo authored
      
      
      EEH may happen during a PCI driver probe. If the driver is trying to
      access some register in a loop, the EEH code will try to print the
      driver name. But the driver pointer in struct pci_dev is not set until
      probe returns successfully.
      
      Use a function to test if the device and the driver pointer is NULL
      before accessing the driver's name.

      Brian King authored
      
      
      This fixes a hang that was observed during live partition migration.
      Since stop_topology_update must not be called from an interrupt
      context, call it earlier in the migration process. The hang observed
      can be seen below:
