From e5d4d1756b07d9490a0269a9e68c1e05ee1feb9b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Sat, 21 Mar 2020 12:25:58 +0100 Subject: timekeeping: Split jiffies seqlock seqlock consists of a sequence counter and a spinlock_t which is used to serialize the writers. spinlock_t is substituted by a "sleeping" spinlock on PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels which breaks the usage in the timekeeping code as the writers are executed in hard interrupt and therefore non-preemptible context even on PREEMPT_RT. The spinlock in seqlock cannot be unconditionally replaced by a raw_spinlock_t as many seqlock users have nesting spinlock sections or other code which is not suitable to run in truly atomic context on RT. Instead of providing a raw_seqlock API for a single use case, open code the seqlock for the jiffies use case and implement it with a raw_spinlock_t and a sequence counter.
