[PATCH 3/6] timekeeping: Make it safe to use the fast timekeeper while suspended

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>

Theoretically, ktime_get_mono_fast_ns() may be executed after
timekeeping has been suspended (or before it is resumed) which
in turn may lead to undefined behavior, for example, when the
clocksource read from timekeeping_get_ns() called by it is
not accessible at that time.

Prevent that from happening by setting up a dummy readout base for
the fast timekeeper during timekeeping_suspend() such that it will
always return the same number of cycles.

After the last timekeeping_update() in timekeeping_suspend() the
clocksource is read and the result is stored as cycles_at_suspend.
The readout base from the current timekeeper is copied onto the
dummy and the ->read pointer of the dummy is set to a routine
unconditionally returning cycles_at_suspend.  Next, the dummy is
passed to update_fast_timekeeper().

Then, ktime_get_mono_fast_ns() will work until the subsequent
timekeeping_resume() and the proper readout base for the fast
timekeeper will be restored by the timekeeping_update() called
right after clearing timekeeping_suspended.
