From f55a6faa384304c89cfef162768e88374d3312cb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Stultz Date: Tue, 10 Jul 2012 18:43:19 -0400 Subject: hrtimer: Provide clock_was_set_delayed() clock_was_set() cannot be called from hard interrupt context because it calls on_each_cpu(). For fixing the widely reported leap seconds issue it is necessary to call it from hard interrupt context, i.e. the timer tick code, which does the timekeeping updates. Provide a new function which denotes it in the hrtimer cpu base structure of the cpu on which it is called and raise the hrtimer softirq. We then execute the clock_was_set() notificiation from softirq context in run_hrtimer_softirq(). The hrtimer softirq is rarely used, so polling the flag there is not a performance issue. [ tglx: Made it depend on CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS. We really should get rid of all this ifdeffery ASAP ] Signed-off-by: John Stultz Reported-by: Jan Engelhardt Reviewed-by: Ingo Molnar Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra Acked-by: Prarit Bhargava Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1341960205-56738-2-git-send-email-johnstul@us.ibm.com Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner --- kernel/hrtimer.c | 20 ++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 20 insertions(+) (limited to 'kernel/hrtimer.c') diff --git a/kernel/hrtimer.c b/kernel/hrtimer.c index ae34bf51682..3c24fb2c25c 100644 --- a/kernel/hrtimer.c +++ b/kernel/hrtimer.c @@ -717,6 +717,19 @@ static int hrtimer_switch_to_hres(void) return 1; } +/* + * Called from timekeeping code to reprogramm the hrtimer interrupt + * device.
