Subject: [PATCH RESEND 1/1] x86: tsc: avoid system instability in hibernation
Date:   Thu, 26 Jul 2018 08:56:56 -0700

System instability are seen during resume from hibernation when system
is under heavy CPU load. This is due to the lack of update of sched
clock data, and the scheduler would then think that heavy CPU hog
tasks need more time in CPU, causing the system to freeze
during the unfreezing of tasks. For example, threaded irqs,
and kernel processes servicing network interface may be delayed
for several tens of seconds, causing the system to be unreachable.

Situation like this can be reported by using lockup detectors
such as workqueue lockup detectors:

[root@ip-172-31-67-114 ec2-user]# echo disk > /sys/power/state

 kernel:BUG: workqueue lockup - pool cpus=3 node=0 flags=0x1 nice=0 stuck for 403s!

The fix for this situation is to mark the sched clock as unstable
as early as possible in the resume path, leaving it unstable
for the duration of the resume process. This will force the
scheduler to attempt to align the sched clock across CPUs using
the delta with time of day, updating sched clock data. In a post
hibernation event, we can then mark the sched clock as stable
again, avoiding unnecessary syncs with time of day on systems
in which TSC is reliable.

Hey,

No changes from first attempt, no pressure on resending. The RESEND
tag is just because I missed linux-pm in the first attempt.
