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. )

24 * Entry/exit counters that make sure that both CPUs
25 * run the measurement code at once:
27 static atomic_t start_count
;
28 static atomic_t stop_count
;
31 * We use a raw spinlock in this exceptional case, because
32 * we want to have the fastest, inlined, non-debug version
33 * of a critical section, to be able to prove TSC time-warps:
35 static arch_spinlock_t sync_lock
= __ARCH_SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED
;
37 static cycles_t last_tsc
;
38 static cycles_t max_warp
;
42 * TSC-warp measurement loop running on both CPUs. This is not called
45 static void check_tsc_warp(unsigned int timeout
)
47 cycles_t start
, now
, prev
, end
;
50 start
= rdtsc_ordered();
52 * The measurement runs for 'timeout' msecs:
54 end
= start
+ (cycles_t
) tsc_khz
* timeout
;
59 * We take the global lock, measure TSC, save the
60 * previous TSC that was measured (possibly on
61 * another CPU) and update the previous TSC timestamp.

70 * Be nice every now and then (and also check whether
71 * measurement is done [we also insert a 10 million
72 * loops safety exit, so we dont lock up in case the
73 * TSC readout is totally broken]):
75 if (unlikely(!(i
& 7))) {
76 if (now

|| i

82 * Outside the critical section we can now see whether
83 * we saw a time-warp of the TSC going backwards:
85 if (unlikely(prev

)) {
86 arch_spin_lock(&sync_lock

87 max_warp

98 * If the target CPU coming online doesn't have any of its core-siblings
99 * online, a timeout of 20msec will be used for the TSC-warp measurement
100 * loop. Otherwise a smaller timeout of 2msec will be used, as we have some
101 * information about this socket already (and this information grows as we
102 * have more and more logical-siblings in that socket).
104 * Ideally we should be able to skip the TSC sync check on the other
105 * core-siblings, if the first logical CPU in a socket passed the sync test.
106 * But as the TSC is per-logical CPU and can potentially be modified wrongly
107 * by the bios, TSC sync test for smaller duration should be able
108 * to catch such errors. Also this will catch the condition where all the
109 * cores in the socket doesn't get reset at the same time.
