You are right. The obvious extension is CLOCK_BOOTTIME. That's id 7 which
indeed conflicts. I'll remove the magic.

* [patch V2 00/11] x86/vdso: Cleanups, simmplifications and CLOCK_TAI support
From: Thomas Gleixner @ 2018-09-17 12:45 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: LKML
Cc: Florian Weimer, Juergen Gross, Arnd Bergmann, Peter Zijlstra, x86,

Matt attempted to add CLOCK_TAI support to the VDSO clock_gettime()
implementation, which extended the clockid switch case and added yet
another slightly different copy of the same code.
Especially the extended switch case is problematic as the compiler tends to
generate a jump table which then requires to use retpolines. If jump tables
are disabled it adds yet another conditional to the existing maze.
This series takes a different approach by consolidating the almost
identical functions into one implementation for high resolution clocks and
one for the coarse grained clock ids by storing the base data for each
clock id in an array which is indexed by the clock id.
This completely eliminates the switch case and allows further
simplifications of the code base, which at the end all together gain a few
cycles performance or at least stay on par with todays code. The resulting
performance depends heavily on the micro architecture and the compiler.
Changes vs. V1:
- Fix the VCLOCK_MAX sanity check
- Remove the magic clock masking and extend the storage array
Thanks,
tglx

Architectures have extra archdata in the clocksource, e.g. for VDSO
support. There are no sanity checks or general initializations for this
available. Add support for that.

It's desired to support more clocks in the VDSO, e.g. CLOCK_TAI. This
results either in indirect calls due to the larger switch case, which then
requires retpolines or when the compiler is forced to avoid jump tables it
results in even more conditionals.
To avoid both variants which are bad for performance the high resolution
functions and the coarse grained functions will be collapsed into one for
each. That requires to store the clock specific base time in an array.
Introcude struct vgtod_ts for storage and convert the data store, the
update function and the individual clock functions over to use it.
The new storage does not longer use gtod_long_t for seconds depending on 32
or 64 bit compile because this needs to be the full 64bit value even for
32bit when a Y2038 function is added. No point in keeping the distinction
alive in the internal representation.

[-- Attachment #1: x86-vdso--Replace-the-clockid-switch-case.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2110 bytes --]
Now that the time getter functions use the clockid as index into the
storage array for the base time access, the switch case can be replaced.
- Check for clockid >= MAX_CLOCKS and for negative clockid (CPU/FD) first
and call the fallback function right away.
- After establishing that clockid is < MAX_CLOCKS, convert the clockid to a
bitmask
- Check for the supported high resolution and coarse functions by anding
the bitmask of supported clocks and check whether a bit is set.
This completely avoids jump tables, reduces the number of conditionals and
makes the VDSO extensible for other clock ids.

[-- Attachment #1: x86-vdso--Simplify-the-invalid-vclock-case.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 5307 bytes --]
The code flow for the vclocks is convoluted as it requires the vclocks
which can be invalidated separately from the vsyscall_gtod_data sequence to
store the fact in a separate variable. That's inefficient.
Restructure the code so the vclock readout returns cycles and the
conversion to nanoseconds is handled at the call site.
If the clock gets invalidated or vclock is already VCLOCK_NONE, return
U64_MAX as the cycle value, which is invalid for all clocks and leave the
sequence loop immediately in that case by calling the fallback function
directly.
This allows to remove the gettimeofday fallback as it now uses the
clock_gettime() fallback and does the nanoseconds to microseconds
conversion in the same way as it does when the vclock is functional. It
does not make a difference whether the division by 1000 happens in the
kernel fallback or in userspace.
Generates way better code and gains a few cycles back.

Dereferencing gtod->cycle_last all over the place and foing the cycles <
last comparison in the vclock read functions generates horrible code. Doing
it at the call site is much better and gains a few cycles both for TSC and
pvclock.
Caveat: This adds the comparison to the hyperv vclock as well, but I have
no way to test that.

In principle consolidating all those implementations should be possible to
some extent and probably worthwhile. What's arch specific are the actual
accessors to the hardware clocks.

getres() is not really performance critical, but adding it does not create
a huge problem either.

i was contemplating this, and I would suggest one of two optimizations:
1. have all the helpers return a struct containing a u64 and a bool,
and use that bool. The compiler should do okay.
2. Be sneaky. Later in the series, you do:
if (unlikely((s64)cycles < 0))
return vdso_fallback_gettime(clk, ts);
- ns += (cycles - gtod->cycle_last) * gtod->mult;
+ if (cycles > last)
+ ns += (cycles - last) * gtod->mult;
How about:
if (unlikely((s64)cycles <= last)) {
if (cycles < 0) [or cycles == -1 or whatever]
return vdso_fallback_gettime;
} else {
ns += (cycles - last) * gtod->mult;
}
which should actually make this whole mess be essentially free.
Also, I'm not entirely convinced that this "last" thing is needed at
all. John, what's the scenario under which we need it?

Your memory serves you right. That's indeed observable on CPUs which
lack TSC_ADJUST.

But, if the gtod code can observe this, then why doesn't the code that
checks the sync?

Because it depends where the involved CPUs are in the topology. The sync
code might just run on the same package an simply not see it. Yes, w/o
TSC_ADJUST the TSC sync code can just fail to see the havoc.

Even with TSC adjust the TSC can be slightly off by design on multi-socket
systems.

Here are the gory details:

kbuild seems to not like this patch series, so I'm going to drop it from
my queue and wait for a v2 respin before looking at it.

Are we sure this isn't a load vs rdtsc reorder? Because if I look at the
current code:
notrace static u64 vread_tsc(void)
{
u64 ret = (u64)rdtsc_ordered();
u64 last = gtod->cycle_last;
if (likely(ret >= last))
return ret;
/*
* GCC likes to generate cmov here, but this branch is extremely
* predictable (it's just a function of time and the likely is
* very likely) and there's a data dependence, so force GCC
* to generate a branch instead. I don't barrier() because
* we don't actually need a barrier, and if this function
* ever gets inlined it will generate worse code.
*/
asm volatile ("");
return last;
}
That does:
lfence
rdtsc
load gtod->cycle_last
Which obviously allows us to observe a cycles_last that is later than
the rdtsc itself, and thus time can trivially go backwards.
The new code:
last = gtod->cycle_last;
cycles = vgetcyc(gtod->vclock_mode);
if (unlikely((s64)cycles < 0))
return vdso_fallback_gettime(clk, ts);
if (cycles > last)
ns += (cycles - last) * gtod->mult;
looks like:
load gtod->cycle_last
lfence
rdtsc
which avoids that possibility, the cycle_last load must have completed
before the rdtsc.

The load order of last vs. rdtsc does not matter at all.
CPU0 CPU1
....
now0 = rdtsc_ordered();
...
tk->cycle_last = now0;
gtod->seq++;
gtod->cycle_last = tk->cycle_last;
...
gtod->seq++;
seq_begin(gtod->seq);
now1 = rdtsc_ordered();
So if the TSC on CPU1 is slightly behind the TSC on CPU0 then now1 can be
smaller than cycle_last. The TSC sync stuff does not catch the small delta
for unknown raisins. I'll go and find that machine and test that again.
