2 * check TSC synchronization.
4 * Copyright (C) 2006, Red Hat, Inc., Ingo Molnar
6 * We check whether all boot CPUs have their TSC's synchronized,
7 * print a warning if not and turn off the TSC clock-source.
9 * The warp-check is point-to-point between two CPUs, the CPU
10 * initiating the bootup is the 'source CPU', the freshly booting
11 * CPU is the 'target CPU'.
13 * Only two CPUs may participate - they can enter in any order.
14 * ( The serial nature of the boot logic and the CPU hotplug lock
15 * protects against more than 2 CPUs entering this code. )

25 * Entry/exit counters that make sure that both CPUs
26 * run the measurement code at once:
28 static __cpuinitdata atomic_t start_count;
29 static __cpuinitdata atomic_t stop_count;
32 * We use a raw spinlock in this exceptional case, because
33 * we want to have the fastest, inlined, non-debug version
34 * of a critical section, to be able to prove TSC time-warps:
36 static __cpuinitdata arch_spinlock_t sync_lock = __ARCH_SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED;
38 static __cpuinitdata cycles_t last_tsc;
39 static __cpuinitdata cycles_t max_warp;
40 static __cpuinitdata int nr_warps;
43 * TSC-warp measurement loop running on both CPUs:
45 static __cpuinit void check_tsc_warp(unsigned int timeout)
47 cycles_t start, now, prev, end;
48 int i;
50 rdtsc_barrier();
51 start = get_cycles();
52 rdtsc_barrier();
54 * The measurement runs for 'timeout' msecs:
56 end = start + (cycles_t) tsc_khz * timeout;
57 now = start;
59 for (i = 0; ; i++) {
61 * We take the global lock, measure TSC, save the
62 * previous TSC that was measured (possibly on
63 * another CPU) and update the previous TSC timestamp.
65 arch_spin_lock(&sync_lock);
66 prev = last_tsc;
67 rdtsc_barrier();
68 now = get_cycles();
69 rdtsc_barrier();
70 last_tsc = now;
71 arch_spin_unlock(&sync_lock);
74 * Be nice every now and then (and also check whether
75 * measurement is done [we also insert a 10 million
76 * loops safety exit, so we dont lock up in case the
77 * TSC readout is totally broken]):
79 if (unlikely(!(i & 7))) {
80 if (now > end || i > 10000000)
81 break;
82 cpu_relax();
83 touch_nmi_watchdog();
86 * Outside the critical section we can now see whether
87 * we saw a time-warp of the TSC going backwards:
89 if (unlikely(prev > now)) {
90 arch_spin_lock(&sync_lock);
91 max_warp = max(max_warp, prev - now);
92 nr_warps++;
93 arch_spin_unlock(&sync_lock);
96 WARN(!(now-start),
97 "Warning: zero tsc calibration delta: %Ld [max: %Ld]\n",
98 now-start, end-start);
102 * If the target CPU coming online doesn't have any of its core-siblings
103 * online, a timeout of 20msec will be used for the TSC-warp measurement
104 * loop. Otherwise a smaller timeout of 2msec will be used, as we have some
105 * information about this socket already (and this information grows as we
106 * have more and more logical-siblings in that socket).
108 * Ideally we should be able to skip the TSC sync check on the other
109 * core-siblings, if the first logical CPU in a socket passed the sync test.
110 * But as the TSC is per-logical CPU and can potentially be modified wrongly
111 * by the bios, TSC sync test for smaller duration should be able
112 * to catch such errors. Also this will catch the condition where all the
113 * cores in the socket doesn't get reset at the same time.
