Subject: [PATCH 4.8 02/37] timekeeping: Fix __ktime_get_fast_ns() regression
Date: Fri, 14 Oct 2016 14:26:48 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161014122549.877055542@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20161014122549.411962735@linuxfoundation.org>

4.8-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]   254.426573:  111111111 cpu-clock:  ffffffff810a0de6 native_safe_halt+0x6 ([kernel.kallsyms])
 swapper     0 [000]   254.426687:  111111111 cpu-clock:  ffffffff810a0de6 native_safe_halt+0x6 ([kernel.kallsyms])
 swapper     0 [000]   254.426800:  111111111 cpu-clock:  ffffffff810a0de6 native_safe_halt+0x6 ([kernel.kallsyms])
 swapper     0 [000]   254.426905:  111111111 cpu-clock:  ffffffff810a0de6 native_safe_halt+0x6 ([kernel.kallsyms])
 swapper     0 [000]   254.427022:  111111111 cpu-clock:  ffffffff810a0de6 native_safe_halt+0x6 ([kernel.kallsyms])

 swapper     0 [000]   254.427463:  111111111 cpu-clock:  ffffffff810a0de6 native_safe_halt+0x6 ([kernel.kallsyms])

Instead of more reasonable expected timestamps like:
 swapper     0 [000]    39.953768:  111111111 cpu-clock:  ffffffff810a0de6 native_safe_halt+0x6 ([kernel.kallsyms])

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.
