[PATCH 1/4] time: alarmtimer: Add the trcepoints for alarmtimer

[John Stultz]

From: Baolin Wang <baolin.wang@linaro.org>

For system debugging, we sometimes want to know who sets one
alarm timer, the time of the timer, when the timer started and
fired and so on. Thus adding tracepoints can help us trace the
alarmtimer information.

For example, when we debug the system supend/resume, if the
system is always resumed by RTC alarm, we can find out which
process set the alarm timer to resume system by below trace log:

......

Binder:3292_2-3304  [000] d..2   149.981123: alarmtimer_cancel:
alarmtimer:ffffffc1319a7800 type:REALTIME

alarmtimer:ffffffc1319a7800 type:REALTIME

Binder:3292_9-3953  [000] d..2   150.213006: alarmtimer_start:
alarmtimer:ffffffc1319a5a00 type:BOOTTIME

[PATCH 3/4] timekeeping: Ignore the bogus sleep time if pm_trace is enabled

[John Stultz]

From: Chen Yu <yu.c.chen@intel.com>

Previously we encountered some memory overflow issues due to
the bogus sleep time brought by inconsistent rtc, which is
triggered when pm_trace is enabled, and we have fixed it
in recent kernel. However it's improper in the first place
to call __timekeeping_inject_sleeptime() in case that pm_trace
is enabled simply because that "hash" time value will wreckage
the timekeeping subsystem.

This patch is originally written by Thomas, which would bypass
the bogus rtc interval when pm_trace is enabled.
Meanwhile, if system succeed to resume back with pm_trace set, the
users are warned to adjust the bogus rtc either by ntp-date or rdate,
by resetting pm_trace_rtc_abused to false, otherwise above tools might
not work as expected.

[PATCH 4/4] timekeeping: clocksource_cyc2ns: Document intended range limitation

[John Stultz]

From: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@mellanox.com>

The "cycles" argument should not be an absolute clocksource cycle
value, as the implementation's arithmetic will overflow relatively
easily with wide (64 bit) clocksource counters.

For performance, the implementation is simple and fast, since the
function is intended for only relatively small delta values of
clocksource cycles.

Hm, there's a weirdness here: if freezer_delta != 0 when alarmtimer_suspend() is 
called then type might be '0', although it's not alarm_bases[0] this value is 
picked up from.

Wouldn't it be better to initialize 'type' to -1 instead? (And rename it to 
min_type or so.)

That would disambiguate the freezer_delta special case in the trace.

(Unless I missed something.)

Thanks,

	Ingo

Please don't break user-visible strings just to pacify checkpatch!

The bogus linebreak above hides a type in the user string:

  Possible incorrect RTC due to pm_trace,please use ntp-date or rdate to reset.

(There's a missing space after the comma.)

Best practice is to preserve the continuous nature of the user string in the code. 

In addition to that, please quote suggested command names, i.e. something like:

  Possible incorrect RTC due to pm_trace, please use 'ntp-date' or 'rdate' to reset it.

Please standardize the spelling of 'pm_trace', as there's 3 variants present in 
this patch alone:

  'pm_trace'
  'pm trace'
  'pmtrace'

(Not to mention pm-trace.h - but that's a pre-existing inconsistency unrelated to 
your patch.)

Thanks,

Make sense. I will send out new patch to fix this. Thanks for your comments.

Had to read this explanation twice, how about:

    * Converts clocksource cycles to nanoseconds, using the given @mult and @shift.
    * The code is optimized for performance and is not intended to work
    * with absolute clocksource cycles (as those will easily overflow),
    * but is only intended to be used with relative (delta) clocksource cycles.

Did I get it right?

Thanks,

Can you please fix the subject line while at it? 'trcepoints' does not look right

Yes, I think that's an improvement.  Thanks!
