clocksource/arm_arch_timer: Force per-CPU interrupt to be level-triggered The ARM architected timer produces level-triggered interrupts (this is mandated by the architecture). Unfortunately, a number of device-trees get this wrong, and expose an edge-triggered interrupt. Until now, this wasn't too much an issue, as the programming of the trigger would fail (the corresponding PPI cannot be reconfigured), and the kernel would be happy with this. But we're about to change this, and trust DT a lot if the driver doesn't provide its own trigger information. In that context, the timer breaks badly. While we do need to fix the DTs, there is also some userspace out there (kvmtool) that generates the same kind of broken DT on the fly, and that will completely break with newer kernels. As a safety measure, and to keep buggy software alive as well as buying us some time to fix DTs all over the place, let's check what trigger configuration has been given us by the firmware. If this is not a level configuration, then we know that the DT/ACPI configuration is bust, and we pick some defaults which won't be worse than the existing setup.

ptp: arm/arm64: Enable ptp_kvm for arm/arm64 Currently, there is no mechanism to keep time sync between guest and host in arm/arm64 virtualization environment. Time in guest will drift compared with host after boot up as they may both use third party time sources to correct their time respectively. The time deviation will be in order of milliseconds. But in some scenarios,like in cloud environment, we ask for higher time precision. kvm ptp clock, which chooses the host clock source as a reference clock to sync time between guest and host, has been adopted by x86 which takes the time sync order from milliseconds to nanoseconds. This patch enables kvm ptp clock for arm/arm64 and improves clock sync precision significantly. Test result comparisons between with kvm ptp clock and without it in arm/arm64 are as follows. This test derived from the result of command 'chronyc sources'. we should take more care of the last sample column which shows the offset between the local clock and the source at the last measurement. no kvm ptp in guest: MS Name/IP address Stratum Poll Reach LastRx Last sample ======================================================================== ^* dns1.synet.edu.cn 2 6 377 13 +1040us[+1581us] +/- 21ms ^* dns1.synet.edu.cn 2 6 377 21 +1040us[+1581us] +/- 21ms ^* dns1.synet.edu.cn 2 6 377 29 +1040us[+1581us] +/- 21ms ^* dns1.synet.edu.cn 2 6 377 37 +1040us[+1581us] +/- 21ms ^* dns1.synet.edu.cn 2 6 377 45 +1040us[+1581us] +/- 21ms ^* dns1.synet.edu.cn 2 6 377 53 +1040us[+1581us] +/- 21ms ^* dns1.synet.edu.cn 2 6 377 61 +1040us[+1581us] +/- 21ms ^* dns1.synet.edu.cn 2 6 377 4 -130us[ +796us] +/- 21ms ^* dns1.synet.edu.cn 2 6 377 12 -130us[ +796us] +/- 21ms ^* dns1.synet.edu.cn 2 6 377 20 -130us[ +796us] +/- 21ms in host: MS Name/IP address Stratum Poll Reach LastRx Last sample ======================================================================== ^* 120.25.115.20 2 7 377 72 -470us[ -603us] +/- 18ms ^* 120.25.115.20 2 7 377 92 -470us[ -603us] +/- 18ms ^* 120.25.115.20 2 7 377 112 -470us[ -603us] +/- 18ms ^* 120.25.115.20 2 7 377 2 +872ns[-6808ns] +/- 17ms ^* 120.25.115.20 2 7 377 22 +872ns[-6808ns] +/- 17ms ^* 120.25.115.20 2 7 377 43 +872ns[-6808ns] +/- 17ms ^* 120.25.115.20 2 7 377 63 +872ns[-6808ns] +/- 17ms ^* 120.25.115.20 2 7 377 83 +872ns[-6808ns] +/- 17ms ^* 120.25.115.20 2 7 377 103 +872ns[-6808ns] +/- 17ms ^* 120.25.115.20 2 7 377 123 +872ns[-6808ns] +/- 17ms The dns1.synet.edu.cn is the network reference clock for guest and 120.25.115.20 is the network reference clock for host. we can't get the clock error between guest and host directly, but a roughly estimated value will be in order of hundreds of us to ms. with kvm ptp in guest: chrony has been disabled in host to remove the disturb by network clock.

clocksource/drivers/arm_arch_timer: Fix masking for high freq counters Unfortunately, the architecture provides no means to determine the bit width of the system counter. However, we do know the following from the specification: - the system counter is at least 56 bits wide - Roll-over time of not less than 40 years To date, the arch timer driver has depended on the first property, assuming any system counter to be 56 bits wide and masking off the rest. However, combining a narrow clocksource mask with a high frequency counter could result in prematurely wrapping the system counter by a significant margin. For example, a 56 bit wide, 1GHz system counter would wrap in a mere 2.28 years! This is a problem for two reasons: v8.6+ implementations are required to provide a 64 bit, 1GHz system counter. Furthermore, before v8.6, implementers may select a counter frequency of their choosing. Fix the issue by deriving a valid clock mask based on the second property from above. Set the floor at 56 bits, since we know no system counter is narrower than that.

clocksource/drivers/arch_timer: Workaround for Allwinner A64 timer instability The Allwinner A64 SoC is known[1] to have an unstable architectural timer, which manifests itself most obviously in the time jumping forward a multiple of 95 years[2][3]. This coincides with 2^56 cycles at a timer frequency of 24 MHz, implying that the time went slightly backward (and this was interpreted by the kernel as it jumping forward and wrapping around past the epoch). Investigation revealed instability in the low bits of CNTVCT at the point a high bit rolls over. This leads to power-of-two cycle forward and backward jumps. (Testing shows that forward jumps are about twice as likely as backward jumps.) Since the counter value returns to normal after an indeterminate read, each "jump" really consists of both a forward and backward jump from the software perspective. Unless the kernel is trapping CNTVCT reads, a userspace program is able to read the register in a loop faster than it changes. A test program running on all 4 CPU cores that reported jumps larger than 100 ms was run for 13.6 hours and reported the following: Count | Event -------+--------------------------- 9940 | jumped backward 699ms 268 | jumped backward 1398ms 1 | jumped backward 2097ms 16020 | jumped forward 175ms 6443 | jumped forward 699ms 2976 | jumped forward 1398ms 9 | jumped forward 356516ms 9 | jumped forward 357215ms 4 | jumped forward 714430ms 1 | jumped forward 3578440ms This works out to a jump larger than 100 ms about every 5.5 seconds on each CPU core. The largest jump (almost an hour!) was the following sequence of reads: 0x0000007fffffffff → 0x00000093feffffff → 0x0000008000000000 Note that the middle bits don't necessarily all read as all zeroes or all ones during the anomalous behavior; however the low 10 bits checked by the function in this patch have never been observed with any other value. Also note that smaller jumps are much more common, with backward jumps of 2048 (2^11) cycles observed over 400 times per second on each core. (Of course, this is partially explained by lower bits rolling over more frequently.) Any one of these could have caused the 95 year time skip. Similar anomalies were observed while reading CNTPCT (after patching the kernel to allow reads from userspace). However, the CNTPCT jumps are much less frequent, and only small jumps were observed. The same program as before (except now reading CNTPCT) observed after 72 hours: Count | Event -------+--------------------------- 17 | jumped backward 699ms 52 | jumped forward 175ms 2831 | jumped forward 699ms 5 | jumped forward 1398ms Further investigation showed that the instability in CNTPCT/CNTVCT also affected the respective timer's TVAL register. The following values were observed immediately after writing CNVT_TVAL to 0x10000000: CNTVCT | CNTV_TVAL | CNTV_CVAL | CNTV_TVAL Error --------------------+------------+--------------------+----------------- 0x000000d4a2d8bfff | 0x10003fff | 0x000000d4b2d8bfff | +0x00004000 0x000000d4a2d94000 | 0x0fffffff | 0x000000d4b2d97fff | -0x00004000 0x000000d4a2d97fff | 0x10003fff | 0x000000d4b2d97fff | +0x00004000 0x000000d4a2d9c000 | 0x0fffffff | 0x000000d4b2d9ffff | -0x00004000 The pattern of errors in CNTV_TVAL seemed to depend on exactly which value was written to it. For example, after writing 0x10101010: CNTVCT | CNTV_TVAL | CNTV_CVAL | CNTV_TVAL Error --------------------+------------+--------------------+----------------- 0x000001ac3effffff | 0x1110100f | 0x000001ac4f10100f | +0x1000000 0x000001ac40000000 | 0x1010100f | 0x000001ac5110100f | -0x1000000 0x000001ac58ffffff | 0x1110100f | 0x000001ac6910100f | +0x1000000 0x000001ac66000000 | 0x1010100f | 0x000001ac7710100f | -0x1000000 0x000001ac6affffff | 0x1110100f | 0x000001ac7b10100f | +0x1000000 0x000001ac6e000000 | 0x1010100f | 0x000001ac7f10100f | -0x1000000 I was also twice able to reproduce the issue covered by Allwinner's workaround[4], that writing to TVAL sometimes fails, and both CVAL and TVAL are left with entirely bogus values. One was the following values: CNTVCT | CNTV_TVAL | CNTV_CVAL --------------------+------------+-------------------------------------- 0x000000d4a2d6014c | 0x8fbd5721 | 0x000000d132935fff (615s in the past) Reviewed-by: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com> ======================================================================== Because the CPU can read the CNTPCT/CNTVCT registers faster than they change, performing two reads of the register and comparing the high bits (like other workarounds) is not a workable solution. And because the timer can jump both forward and backward, no pair of reads can distinguish a good value from a bad one. The only way to guarantee a good value from consecutive reads would be to read _three_ times, and take the middle value only if the three values are 1) each unique and 2) increasing. This takes at minimum 3 counter cycles (125 ns), or more if an anomaly is detected. However, since there is a distinct pattern to the bad values, we can optimize the common case (1022/1024 of the time) to a single read by simply ignoring values that match the error pattern. This still takes no more than 3 cycles in the worst case, and requires much less code. As an additional safety check, we still limit the loop iteration to the number of max-frequency (1.2 GHz) CPU cycles in three 24 MHz counter periods. For the TVAL registers, the simple solution is to not use them. Instead, read or write the CVAL and calculate the TVAL value in software. Although the manufacturer is aware of at least part of the erratum[4], there is no official name for it. For now, use the kernel-internal name "UNKNOWN1".

And because the timer can jump both forward and backward, no pair of reads can distinguish a good value from a bad one. The only way to guarantee a good value from consecutive reads would be to read _three_ times, and take the middle value only if the three values are 1) each unique and 2) increasing. This takes at minimum 3 counter cycles (125 ns), or more if an anomaly is detected. However, since there is a distinct pattern to the bad values, we can optimize the common case (1022/1024 of the time) to a single read by simply ignoring values that match the error pattern. This still takes no more than 3 cycles in the worst case, and requires much less code. As an additional safety check, we still limit the loop iteration to the number of max-frequency (1.2 GHz) CPU cycles in three 24 MHz counter periods. For the TVAL registers, the simple solution is to not use them. Instead, read or write the CVAL and calculate the TVAL value in software. Although the manufacturer is aware of at least part of the erratum[4], there is no official name for it. For now, use the kernel-internal name "UNKNOWN1".

clocksource/drivers/arch_timer: Workaround for Allwinner A64 timer instability The Allwinner A64 SoC is known[1] to have an unstable architectural timer, which manifests itself most obviously in the time jumping forward a multiple of 95 years[2][3]. This coincides with 2^56 cycles at a timer frequency of 24 MHz, implying that the time went slightly backward (and this was interpreted by the kernel as it jumping forward and wrapping around past the epoch). Investigation revealed instability in the low bits of CNTVCT at the point a high bit rolls over. This leads to power-of-two cycle forward and backward jumps. (Testing shows that forward jumps are about twice as likely as backward jumps.) Since the counter value returns to normal after an indeterminate read, each "jump" really consists of both a forward and backward jump from the software perspective. Unless the kernel is trapping CNTVCT reads, a userspace program is able to read the register in a loop faster than it changes. A test program running on all 4 CPU cores that reported jumps larger than 100 ms was run for 13.6 hours and reported the following: Count | Event -------+--------------------------- 9940 | jumped backward 699ms 268 | jumped backward 1398ms 1 | jumped backward 2097ms 16020 | jumped forward 175ms 6443 | jumped forward 699ms 2976 | jumped forward 1398ms 9 | jumped forward 356516ms 9 | jumped forward 357215ms 4 | jumped forward 714430ms 1 | jumped forward 3578440ms This works out to a jump larger than 100 ms about every 5.5 seconds on each CPU core. The largest jump (almost an hour!) was the following sequence of reads: 0x0000007fffffffff → 0x00000093feffffff → 0x0000008000000000 Note that the middle bits don't necessarily all read as all zeroes or all ones during the anomalous behavior; however the low 10 bits checked by the function in this patch have never been observed with any other value. Also note that smaller jumps are much more common, with backward jumps of 2048 (2^11) cycles observed over 400 times per second on each core. (Of course, this is partially explained by lower bits rolling over more frequently.) Any one of these could have caused the 95 year time skip. Similar anomalies were observed while reading CNTPCT (after patching the kernel to allow reads from userspace). However, the CNTPCT jumps are much less frequent, and only small jumps were observed. The same program as before (except now reading CNTPCT) observed after 72 hours: Count | Event -------+--------------------------- 17 | jumped backward 699ms 52 | jumped forward 175ms 2831 | jumped forward 699ms 5 | jumped forward 1398ms Further investigation showed that the instability in CNTPCT/CNTVCT also affected the respective timer's TVAL register.

clocksource/drivers/arm_arch_timer: Fix XGene-1 TVAL register math error The TVAL register is 32 bit signed. Thus only the lower 31 bits are available to specify when an interrupt is to occur at some time in the near future. Attempting to specify a larger interval with TVAL results in a negative time delta which means the timer fires immediately upon being programmed, rather than firing at that expected future time. The solution is for Linux to declare that TVAL is a 31 bit register rather than give its true size of 32 bits. This prevents Linux from programming TVAL with a too-large value. Note that, prior to 5.16, this little trick was the standard way to handle TVAL in Linux, so there is nothing new happening here on that front. The softlockup detector hides the issue, because it keeps generating short timer deadlines that are within the scope of the broken timer. Disabling it, it starts using NO_HZ with much longer timer deadlines, which turns into an interrupt flood: 11: 1124855130 949168462 758009394 76417474 104782230 30210281 310890 1734323687 GICv2 29 Level arch_timer And "much longer" isn't that long: it takes less than 43s to underflow TVAL at 50MHz (the frequency of the counter on XGene-1). Some comments on the v1 version of this patch by Marc Zyngier: XGene implements CVAL (a 64bit comparator) in terms of TVAL (a countdown register) instead of the other way around. TVAL being a 32bit register, the width of the counter should equally be 32. However, TVAL is a *signed* value, and keeps counting down in the negative range once the timer fires. It means that any TVAL value with bit 31 set will fire immediately, as it cannot be distinguished from an already expired timer. Reducing the timer range back to a paltry 31 bits papers over the issue. Another problem cannot be fixed though, which is that the timer interrupt *must* be handled within the negative countdown period, or the interrupt will be lost (TVAL will rollover to a positive value, indicative of a new timer deadline).

clocksource/drivers/arm_arch_timer: Fix masking for high freq counters Unfortunately, the architecture provides no means to determine the bit width of the system counter. However, we do know the following from the specification: - the system counter is at least 56 bits wide - Roll-over time of not less than 40 years To date, the arch timer driver has depended on the first property, assuming any system counter to be 56 bits wide and masking off the rest. However, combining a narrow clocksource mask with a high frequency counter could result in prematurely wrapping the system counter by a significant margin. For example, a 56 bit wide, 1GHz system counter would wrap in a mere 2.28 years! This is a problem for two reasons: v8.6+ implementations are required to provide a 64 bit, 1GHz system counter. Furthermore, before v8.6, implementers may select a counter frequency of their choosing. Fix the issue by deriving a valid clock mask based on the second property from above. Set the floor at 56 bits, since we know no system counter is narrower than that.

Until now, this wasn't too much an issue, as the programming of the trigger would fail (the corresponding PPI cannot be reconfigured), and the kernel would be happy with this. But we're about to change this, and trust DT a lot if the driver doesn't provide its own trigger information. In that context, the timer breaks badly. While we do need to fix the DTs, there is also some userspace out there (kvmtool) that generates the same kind of broken DT on the fly, and that will completely break with newer kernels. As a safety measure, and to keep buggy software alive as well as buying us some time to fix DTs all over the place, let's check what trigger configuration has been given us by the firmware. If this is not a level configuration, then we know that the DT/ACPI configuration is bust, and we pick some defaults which won't be worse than the existing setup.

clocksource/drivers/arm_arch_timer: Fix masking for high freq counters Unfortunately, the architecture provides no means to determine the bit width of the system counter. However, we do know the following from the specification: - the system counter is at least 56 bits wide - Roll-over time of not less than 40 years To date, the arch timer driver has depended on the first property, assuming any system counter to be 56 bits wide and masking off the rest. However, combining a narrow clocksource mask with a high frequency counter could result in prematurely wrapping the system counter by a significant margin. For example, a 56 bit wide, 1GHz system counter would wrap in a mere 2.28 years! This is a problem for two reasons: v8.6+ implementations are required to provide a 64 bit, 1GHz system counter. Furthermore, before v8.6, implementers may select a counter frequency of their choosing. Fix the issue by deriving a valid clock mask based on the second property from above. Set the floor at 56 bits, since we know no system counter is narrower than that.

ptp: arm/arm64: Enable ptp_kvm for arm/arm64 Currently, there is no mechanism to keep time sync between guest and host in arm/arm64 virtualization environment. Time in guest will drift compared with host after boot up as they may both use third party time sources to correct their time respectively. The time deviation will be in order of milliseconds. But in some scenarios,like in cloud environment, we ask for higher time precision. kvm ptp clock, which chooses the host clock source as a reference clock to sync time between guest and host, has been adopted by x86 which takes the time sync order from milliseconds to nanoseconds. This patch enables kvm ptp clock for arm/arm64 and improves clock sync precision significantly. Test result comparisons between with kvm ptp clock and without it in arm/arm64 are as follows. This test derived from the result of command 'chronyc sources'. we should take more care of the last sample column which shows the offset between the local clock and the source at the last measurement. no kvm ptp in guest: MS Name/IP address Stratum Poll Reach LastRx Last sample ======================================================================== ^* dns1.synet.edu.cn 2 6 377 13 +1040us[+1581us] +/- 21ms ^* dns1.synet.edu.cn 2 6 377 21 +1040us[+1581us] +/- 21ms ^* dns1.synet.edu.cn 2 6 377 29 +1040us[+1581us] +/- 21ms ^* dns1.synet.edu.cn 2 6 377 37 +1040us[+1581us] +/- 21ms ^* dns1.synet.edu.cn 2 6 377 45 +1040us[+1581us] +/- 21ms ^* dns1.synet.edu.cn 2 6 377 53 +1040us[+1581us] +/- 21ms ^* dns1.synet.edu.cn 2 6 377 61 +1040us[+1581us] +/- 21ms ^* dns1.synet.edu.cn 2 6 377 4 -130us[ +796us] +/- 21ms ^* dns1.synet.edu.cn 2 6 377 12 -130us[ +796us] +/- 21ms ^* dns1.synet.edu.cn 2 6 377 20 -130us[ +796us] +/- 21ms in host: MS Name/IP address Stratum Poll Reach LastRx Last sample ======================================================================== ^* 120.25.115.20 2 7 377 72 -470us[ -603us] +/- 18ms ^* 120.25.115.20 2 7 377 92 -470us[ -603us] +/- 18ms ^* 120.25.115.20 2 7 377 112 -470us[ -603us] +/- 18ms ^* 120.25.115.20 2 7 377 2 +872ns[-6808ns] +/- 17ms ^* 120.25.115.20 2 7 377 22 +872ns[-6808ns] +/- 17ms ^* 120.25.115.20 2 7 377 43 +872ns[-6808ns] +/- 17ms ^* 120.25.115.20 2 7 377 63 +872ns[-6808ns] +/- 17ms ^* 120.25.115.20 2 7 377 83 +872ns[-6808ns] +/- 17ms ^* 120.25.115.20 2 7 377 103 +872ns[-6808ns] +/- 17ms ^* 120.25.115.20 2 7 377 123 +872ns[-6808ns] +/- 17ms The dns1.synet.edu.cn is the network reference clock for guest and 120.25.115.20 is the network reference clock for host. we can't get the clock error between guest and host directly, but a roughly estimated value will be in order of hundreds of us to ms. with kvm ptp in guest: chrony has been disabled in host to remove the disturb by network clock.

ptp: arm/arm64: Enable ptp_kvm for arm/arm64 Currently, there is no mechanism to keep time sync between guest and host in arm/arm64 virtualization environment. Time in guest will drift compared with host after boot up as they may both use third party time sources to correct their time respectively. The time deviation will be in order of milliseconds. But in some scenarios,like in cloud environment, we ask for higher time precision. kvm ptp clock, which chooses the host clock source as a reference clock to sync time between guest and host, has been adopted by x86 which takes the time sync order from milliseconds to nanoseconds. This patch enables kvm ptp clock for arm/arm64 and improves clock sync precision significantly. Test result comparisons between with kvm ptp clock and without it in arm/arm64 are as follows. This test derived from the result of command 'chronyc sources'. we should take more care of the last sample column which shows the offset between the local clock and the source at the last measurement. no kvm ptp in guest: MS Name/IP address Stratum Poll Reach LastRx Last sample ======================================================================== ^* dns1.synet.edu.cn 2 6 377 13 +1040us[+1581us] +/- 21ms ^* dns1.synet.edu.cn 2 6 377 21 +1040us[+1581us] +/- 21ms ^* dns1.synet.edu.cn 2 6 377 29 +1040us[+1581us] +/- 21ms ^* dns1.synet.edu.cn 2 6 377 37 +1040us[+1581us] +/- 21ms ^* dns1.synet.edu.cn 2 6 377 45 +1040us[+1581us] +/- 21ms ^* dns1.synet.edu.cn 2 6 377 53 +1040us[+1581us] +/- 21ms ^* dns1.synet.edu.cn 2 6 377 61 +1040us[+1581us] +/- 21ms ^* dns1.synet.edu.cn 2 6 377 4 -130us[ +796us] +/- 21ms ^* dns1.synet.edu.cn 2 6 377 12 -130us[ +796us] +/- 21ms ^* dns1.synet.edu.cn 2 6 377 20 -130us[ +796us] +/- 21ms in host: MS Name/IP address Stratum Poll Reach LastRx Last sample ======================================================================== ^* 120.25.115.20 2 7 377 72 -470us[ -603us] +/- 18ms ^* 120.25.115.20 2 7 377 92 -470us[ -603us] +/- 18ms ^* 120.25.115.20 2 7 377 112 -470us[ -603us] +/- 18ms ^* 120.25.115.20 2 7 377 2 +872ns[-6808ns] +/- 17ms ^* 120.25.115.20 2 7 377 22 +872ns[-6808ns] +/- 17ms ^* 120.25.115.20 2 7 377 43 +872ns[-6808ns] +/- 17ms ^* 120.25.115.20 2 7 377 63 +872ns[-6808ns] +/- 17ms ^* 120.25.115.20 2 7 377 83 +872ns[-6808ns] +/- 17ms ^* 120.25.115.20 2 7 377 103 +872ns[-6808ns] +/- 17ms ^* 120.25.115.20 2 7 377 123 +872ns[-6808ns] +/- 17ms The dns1.synet.edu.cn is the network reference clock for guest and 120.25.115.20 is the network reference clock for host. we can't get the clock error between guest and host directly, but a roughly estimated value will be in order of hundreds of us to ms. with kvm ptp in guest: chrony has been disabled in host to remove the disturb by network clock.
