There's also a few cleanups Linus suggested as well as a few I've been meaning to get to for awhile. I tried in address all the feedback that had been given, adding the checks behind CONFIG_DEBUG_TIMEKEEPING. I also sorted out a sane way to print rate-limited warnings if we see cycle deltas that are too large, or if they look like small underflows. I'd like to get this queued into -tip soon so it can get as much testing in -next as possible. If there are any objections or feedback, I'd love to hear it! New in v4: * Lots and lots of typo corrections and minor cleanups suggested by Ingo. * Dropped "Remove clocksource_max_deferment()" patch * Added "Rename __clocksource_updatefreq_*..." patch * I realized one of the patches (Improve clocksource watchdog reporting) didn't have a proper cc list, so while it was on lkml folks may not have reviewed it before. thanks -john Cc: Dave Jones <davej@...emonkey.org.uk> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de> Cc: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@...il.com> Cc: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@...hat.com> Cc: Stephen Boyd <sboyd@...eaurora.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@...nel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org> John Stultz (12): clocksource: Simplify clocks_calc_max_nsecs logic clocksource: Simplify logic around clocksource wrapping safety margins clocksource: Add max_cycles to clocksource structure time: Add debugging checks to warn if we see delays time: Add infrastructure to cap clocksource reads to the max_cycles value time: Try to catch clocksource delta underflows time: Add warnings when overflows or underflows are observed clocksource: Improve clocksource watchdog reporting clocksource: Mostly kill clocksource_register() sparc: Convert to using clocksource_register_hz() clocksource: Add some debug info about clocksources being registered clocksource: Rename __clocksource_updatefreq_* to __clocksource_update_freq_* arch/arm/plat-omap/counter_32k.c | 2 +- arch/s390/kernel/time.c | 2 +- arch/sparc/kernel/time_32.c | 6 +- drivers/clocksource/em_sti.c | 2 +- drivers/clocksource/sh_cmt.c | 2 +- drivers/clocksource/sh_tmu.c | 2 +- include/linux/clocksource.h | 26 ++++-- kernel/time/clocksource.c | 171 ++++++++++++++++++--------------------- kernel/time/jiffies.c | 5 +- kernel/time/sched_clock.c | 6 +- kernel/time/timekeeping.c | 127 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++--- lib/Kconfig.debug | 12 +++ 12 files changed, 235 insertions(+), 128 deletions(-) -- 1.9.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
