Thank you.

I think, there are no reasons to try staged attempts. It usually gets
harder to maintain overtime. In my opinion it is best if do it in two
tries, as right now, but just cleaner. The first attempt we get a
crude result, using the lowest denominator to which current logic
might fallback if something else is not available that early in boot:
i.e cpu calibration loop in native_calibrate_cpu() but later get
something better. Also, even if early clock does not work because we
could not get tsc early, it is not a problem, we still will probably
determine it later during tsc_init call.
I have re-wrote tsc_early_init()/tsc_init(), they are much simpler now:
void __init tsc_early_init(void)
{
if (!boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_TSC))
return;
if (!determine_cpu_tsc_frequncies())
return;
cyc2ns_init_boot_cpu();
static_branch_enable(&__use_tsc);
loops_per_jiffy = get_loops_per_jiffy(tsc_khz);
}
void __init tsc_init(void)
{
if (!boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_TSC))
return;
if (!determine_cpu_tsc_frequncies()) {
setup_clear_cpu_cap(X86_FEATURE_TSC_DEADLINE_TIMER);
return;
}
/* Sanitize TSC ADJUST before cyc2ns gets initialized */
tsc_store_and_check_tsc_adjust(true);
cyc2ns_reinit_boot_cpu();
cyc2ns_init_secondary_cpus();
static_branch_enable(&__use_tsc);
if (!no_sched_irq_time)
enable_sched_clock_irqtime();
lpj_fine = get_loops_per_jiffy(tsc_khz);
use_tsc_delay();
check_system_tsc_reliable();
if (unsynchronized_tsc()) {
mark_tsc_unstable("TSCs unsynchronized");
return;
}
clocksource_register_khz(&clocksource_tsc_early, tsc_khz);
detect_art();
}
All the new functions are self explanatory. I added three cyc2ns
related functions based on your suggestions on how to clean-up that
code:
static void __init cyc2ns_init_boot(void)
{
struct cyc2ns *c2n = this_cpu_ptr(&cyc2ns);
seqcount_init(&c2n->seq);
__set_cyc2ns_scale(tsc_khz, smp_processor_id(), rdtsc());
}
static void __init cyc2ns_init_secondary(void)
{
unsigned int cpu, this_cpu = smp_processor_id();
struct cyc2ns *c2n = this_cpu_ptr(&cyc2ns);
struct cyc2ns_data *data = c2n->data;
for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) {
if (cpu != this_cpu) {
seqcount_init(&c2n->seq);
c2n = per_cpu_ptr(&cyc2ns, cpu);
c2n->data[0] = data[0];
c2n->data[1] = data[1];
}
}
}
/* Reinitialize boot cpu c2ns, using the offset of the current
sched_clock() value */
static void __init cyc2ns_reinit_boot(void)
{
struct cyc2ns *c2n = this_cpu_ptr(&cyc2ns);
unsigned long sched_now = sched_clock();
__set_cyc2ns_scale(tsc_khz, smp_processor_id(), rdtsc());
c2n->data[0].cyc2ns_offset += sched_now;
c2n->data[1].cyc2ns_offset += sched_now;
}
I know, conceptually, it is similar to what I had before, but I think
it is simple enough, easy to maintain, but more importantly safe. What
do you think?
Thank you,
Pavel
