Also, set the recently added struct system_counterval_t member cs_id to the

the clocksource ID in struct system_counterval_t, rather than the

x86/tsc: Extend watchdog check exemption to 4-Sockets platform

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 b50db7095fe0 ("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].

clocksource: Verify HPET and PMTMR when TSC unverified

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.

x86/tsc: Add option to force frequency recalibration with HW timer

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.

x86/tsc: Disable clocksource watchdog for TSC on qualified platorms

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.

by

clocksource: Reduce clocksource-skew threshold

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.

clocksource: Check per-CPU clock synchronization when marked unstable

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.

[ tglx: Made the variable __initdata as it's only used on init and
removed the error checking in the argument parser because
kstrto*() only stores to the variable if the string is valid ]

x86/vdso: Move VDSO clocksource state tracking to callback

All architectures which use the generic VDSO code have their own storage
for the VDSO clock mode. That's pointless and just requires duplicate code.

X86 abuses the function which retrieves the architecture specific clock
mode storage to mark the clocksource as used in the VDSO. That's silly
because this is invoked on every tick when the VDSO data is updated.

Move this functionality to the clocksource::enable() callback so it gets
invoked once when the clocksource is installed. This allows to make the
clock mode storage generic.
