Subject: [PATCH 4.4 02/21] timekeeping: Fix __ktime_get_fast_ns() regression
Date: Fri, 14 Oct 2016 13:40:40 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161014114024.765204534@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20161014114024.667943585@linuxfoundation.org>
4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org>
commit 58bfea9532552d422bde7afa207e1a0f08dffa7d upstream.
In commit 27727df240c7 ("Avoid taking lock in NMI path with
CONFIG_DEBUG_TIMEKEEPING"), I changed the logic to open-code
the timekeeping_get_ns() function, but I forgot to include
the unit conversion from cycles to nanoseconds, breaking the
function's output, which impacts users like perf.
This results in bogus perf timestamps like:
swapper 0 [000] 253.427536: 111111111 cpu-clock: ffffffff810a0de6 native_safe_halt+0x6 ([kernel.kallsyms])

swapper 0 [000] 255.426572: 111111111 cpu-clock: ffffffff810a0de6 native_safe_halt+0x6 ([kernel.kallsyms])
Instead of more reasonable expected timestamps like:

Add the proper use of timekeeping_delta_to_ns() to convert
the cycle delta to nanoseconds as needed.
Thanks to Brendan and Alexei for finding this quickly after
the v4.8 release. Unfortunately the problematic commit has
landed in some -stable trees so they'll need this fix as
well.
Many apologies for this mistake. I'll be looking to add a
perf-clock sanity test to the kselftest timers tests soon.
