From ba919d1caa2e624eb8c6cae1f2ce0a253e697d45 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Thu, 25 Apr 2013 20:31:44 +0000 Subject: clocksource: Let timekeeping_notify return success/error timekeeping_notify() can fail due cs->enable() failure. Though the caller does not notice and happily keeps the wrong clocksource as the current one. Let the caller know about failure, so the current clocksource will be shown correctly in sysfs.

The new sanity check works as Alex and Tim found out. It prevents the TSC from being used. This happens because on x86 the boot process looks like this: tsc_start_freqency_validation(TSC); clocksource_register(HPET); clocksource_done_booting(); clocksource_select() Selects HPET which is valid for high-res switch_to_highres(); clocksource_register(TSC); TSC is not selected, because it is not yet flagged as VALID_HIGH_RES clocksource_watchdog() Validates TSC for highres, but that does not make TSC the current clocksource. Before the sanity check was added, we installed TSC unvalidated which worked most of the time. If the TSC was really detected as unstable, then the unstable logic removed it and installed HPET again. The sanity check is correct and needed. So the watchdog needs to kick a reselection of the clocksource, when it qualifies TSC as a valid high res clocksource. To solve this, we mark the clocksource which got the flag CLOCK_SOURCE_VALID_FOR_HRES set by the watchdog with an new flag CLOCK_SOURCE_RESELECT and trigger the watchdog thread. The watchdog thread evaluates the flag and invokes clocksource_select() when set. To avoid that the clocksource_done_booting() code, which is about to install the first real clocksource anyway, needs to go through clocksource_select and tick_oneshot_notify() pointlessly, split out the clocksource_watchdog_kthread() list walk code and invoke the select/notify only when called from clocksource_watchdog_kthread(). So clocksource_done_booting() can utilize the same splitout code without the select/notify invocation and the clocksource_mutex unlock/relock dance.
