Subject: [PATCH v8 clocksource 4/5] clocksource: Provide a module parameter to fuzz per-CPU clock checking
Date: Tue, 13 Apr 2021 21:36:01 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210414043602.2812981-4-paulmck@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210414043435.GA2812539@paulmck-ThinkPad-P17-Gen-1>
Code that checks for clock desynchronization must itself be tested, so
create a new clocksource.inject_delay_shift_percpu= kernel boot parameter
that adds or subtracts a large value from the check read, using the
specified bit of the CPU ID to determine whether to add or to subtract.

+ Clocksource delay injection partitions the CPUs
+ into two sets, one whose clocks are moved ahead
+ and the other whose clocks are moved behind.
+ This kernel parameter selects the CPU-number
+ bit that determines which of these two sets the
+ corresponding CPU is placed into. For example,
+ setting this parameter to the value 4 will result
+ in the first set containing alternating groups
+ of 16 CPUs whose clocks are moved ahead, while
+ the second set will contain the rest of the CPUs,
+ whose clocks are moved behind.
+
+ The default value of -1 disables this type of
+ error injection.
