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 atomic_t start_count
;
29 static 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 arch_spinlock_t sync_lock
= __ARCH_SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED
;
38 static cycles_t last_tsc
;
39 static cycles_t max_warp
;
43 * TSC-warp measurement loop running on both CPUs:
45 static void check_tsc_warp(unsigned int timeout
)
47 cycles_t start
, now
, prev
, end
;
54 * The measurement runs for 'timeout' msecs:
56 end
= start
+ (cycles_t
) tsc_khz
* timeout
;
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.

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

|| i

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

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.
