Pull vfs multigrain timestamps from Christian Brauner:
 "This is another try at implementing multigrain timestamps. This time
  with significant help from the timekeeping maintainers to reduce the
  performance impact.

  Thomas provided a base branch that contains the required timekeeping
  interfaces for the VFS. It serves as the base for the multi-grain
  timestamp work:

   - Multigrain timestamps allow the kernel to use fine-grained
     timestamps when an inode's attributes is being actively observed
     via ->getattr(). With this support, it's possible for a file to get
     a fine-grained timestamp, and another modified after it to get a
     coarse-grained stamp that is earlier than the fine-grained time. If
     this happens then the files can appear to have been modified in
     reverse order, which breaks VFS ordering guarantees.

     To prevent this, a floor value is maintained for multigrain
     timestamps. Whenever a fine-grained timestamp is handed out, record
     it, and when later coarse-grained stamps are handed out, ensure
     they are not earlier than that value. If the coarse-grained
     timestamp is earlier than the fine-grained floor, return the floor
     value instead.

     The timekeeper changes add a static singleton atomic64_t into
     timekeeper.c that is used to keep track of the latest fine-grained
     time ever handed out. This is tracked as a monotonic ktime_t value
     to ensure that it isn't affected by clock jumps. Because it is
     updated at different times than the rest of the timekeeper object,
     the floor value is managed independently of the timekeeper via a
     cmpxchg() operation, and sits on its own cacheline.

     Two new public timekeeper interfaces are added:

      (1) ktime_get_coarse_real_ts64_mg() fills a timespec64 with the
          later of the coarse-grained clock and the floor time

      (2) ktime_get_real_ts64_mg() gets the fine-grained clock value,
          and tries to swap it into the floor. A timespec64 is filled
          with the result.

   - The VFS has always used coarse-grained timestamps when updating the
     ctime and mtime after a change. This has the benefit of allowing
     filesystems to optimize away a lot metadata updates, down to around
     1 per jiffy, even when a file is under heavy writes.

     Unfortunately, this has always been an issue when we're exporting
     via NFSv3, which relies on timestamps to validate caches. A lot of
     changes can happen in a jiffy, so timestamps aren't sufficient to
     help the client decide when to invalidate the cache. Even with
     NFSv4, a lot of exported filesystems don't properly support a
     change attribute and are subject to the same problems with
     timestamp granularity. Other applications have similar issues with
     timestamps (e.g backup applications).

     If we were to always use fine-grained timestamps, that would
     improve the situation, but that becomes rather expensive, as the
     underlying filesystem would have to log a lot more metadata
     updates.

     This adds a way to only use fine-grained timestamps when they are
     being actively queried. Use the (unused) top bit in
     inode->i_ctime_nsec as a flag that indicates whether the current
     timestamps have been queried via stat() or the like. When it's set,
     we allow the kernel to use a fine-grained timestamp iff it's
     necessary to make the ctime show a different value.

     This solves the problem of being able to distinguish the timestamp
     between updates, but introduces a new problem: it's now possible
     for a file being changed to get a fine-grained timestamp. A file
     that is altered just a bit later can then get a coarse-grained one
     that appears older than the earlier fine-grained time. This
     violates timestamp ordering guarantees.

     This is where the earlier mentioned timkeeping interfaces help. A
     global monotonic atomic64_t value is kept that acts as a timestamp
     floor. When we go to stamp a file, we first get the latter of the
     current floor value and the current coarse-grained time. If the
     inode ctime hasn't been queried then we just attempt to stamp it
     with that value.

     If it has been queried, then first see whether the current coarse
     time is later than the existing ctime. If it is, then we accept
     that value. If it isn't, then we get a fine-grained time and try to
     swap that into the global floor. Whether that succeeds or fails, we
     take the resulting floor time, convert it to realtime and try to
     swap that into the ctime.

     We take the result of the ctime swap whether it succeeds or fails,
     since either is just as valid.

     Filesystems can opt into this by setting the FS_MGTIME fstype flag.
     Others should be unaffected (other than being subject to the same
     floor value as multigrain filesystems)"

6e62807c7f posix-clock: posix-clock: Fix unbalanced locking in pc_clock_settime()
If get_clock_desc() succeeds, it calls fget() for the clockid's fd,
and get the clk->rwsem read lock, so the error path should release
the lock to make the lock balance and fput the clockid's fd to make
the refcount balance and release the fd related resource.

However the below commit left the error path locked behind resulting in
unbalanced locking. Check timespec64_valid_strict() before
get_clock_desc() to fix it, because the "ts" is not changed
after that.

d8794ac20a posix-clock: Fix missing timespec64 check in pc_clock_settime()
As Andrew pointed out, it will make sense that the PTP core
checked timespec64 struct's tv_sec and tv_nsec range before calling
ptp->info->settime64().

As the man manual of clock_settime() said, if tp.tv_sec is negative or
tp.tv_nsec is outside the range [0..999,999,999], it should return EINVAL,
which include dynamic clocks which handles PTP clock, and the condition is
consistent with timespec64_valid(). As Thomas suggested, timespec64_valid()
only check the timespec is valid, but not ensure that the time is
in a valid range, so check it ahead using timespec64_valid_strict()
in pc_clock_settime() and return -EINVAL if not valid.

There are some drivers that use tp->tv_sec and tp->tv_nsec directly to
write registers without validity checks and assume that the higher layer
has checked it, which is dangerous and will benefit from this, such as
hclge_ptp_settime(), igb_ptp_settime_i210(), _rcar_gen4_ptp_settime(),
and some drivers can remove the checks of itself.

cd9626e9eb sched/fair: Fix external p->on_rq users
Sean noted that ever since commit 152e11f6df ("sched/fair: Implement
delayed dequeue") KVM's preemption notifiers have started
mis-classifying preemption vs blocking.

Notably p->on_rq is no longer sufficient to determine if a task is
runnable or blocked -- the aforementioned commit introduces tasks that
remain on the runqueue even through they will not run again, and
should be considered blocked for many cases.

Add the task_is_runnable() helper to classify things and audit all
external users of the p->on_rq state. Also add a few comments.

timekeeping: Add percpu counter for tracking floor swap events
The mgtime_floor value is a global variable for tracking the latest
fine-grained timestamp handed out. Because it's a global, track the
number of times that a new floor value is assigned.

Add a new percpu counter to the timekeeping code to track the number of
floor swap events that have occurred. A later patch will add a debugfs
file to display this counter alongside other stats involving multigrain
timestamps.

timekeeping: Add interfaces for handling timestamps with a floor value
Multigrain timestamps allow the kernel to use fine-grained timestamps when
an inode's attributes is being actively observed via ->getattr().  With
this support, it's possible for a file to get a fine-grained timestamp, and
another modified after it to get a coarse-grained stamp that is earlier
than the fine-grained time.  If this happens then the files can appear to
have been modified in reverse order, which breaks VFS ordering guarantees
[1].

To prevent this, maintain a floor value for multigrain timestamps.
Whenever a fine-grained timestamp is handed out, record it, and when later
coarse-grained stamps are handed out, ensure they are not earlier than that
value. If the coarse-grained timestamp is earlier than the fine-grained
floor, return the floor value instead.

Add a static singleton atomic64_t into timekeeper.c that is used to keep
track of the latest fine-grained time ever handed out. This is tracked as a
monotonic ktime_t value to ensure that it isn't affected by clock
jumps. Because it is updated at different times than the rest of the
timekeeper object, the floor value is managed independently of the
timekeeper via a cmpxchg() operation, and sits on its own cacheline.

Add two new public interfaces:

- ktime_get_coarse_real_ts64_mg() fills a timespec64 with the later of the
  coarse-grained clock and the floor time

- ktime_get_real_ts64_mg() gets the fine-grained clock value, and tries
  to swap it into the floor. A timespec64 is filled with the result.

The floor value is global and updated via a single try_cmpxchg(). If
that fails then the operation raced with a concurrent update. Any
concurrent update must be later than the existing floor value, so any
racing tasks can accept any resulting floor value without retrying.

[1]: POSIX requires that files be stamped with realtime clock values, and
     makes no provision for dealing with backward clock jumps. If a backward
     realtime clock jump occurs, then files can appear to have been modified
     in reverse order.

cb787f4ac0 [tree-wide] finally take no_llseek out
no_llseek had been defined to NULL two years ago, in commit 868941b144
("fs: remove no_llseek")

To quote that commit,

  At -rc1 we'll need do a mechanical removal of no_llseek -

  git grep -l -w no_llseek | grep -v porting.rst | while read i; do
	sed -i '/\<no_llseek\>/d' $i
  done

  would do it.

Unfortunately, that hadn't been done.  Linus, could you do that now, so
that we could finally put that thing to rest? All instances are of the
form
	.llseek = no_llseek,
so it's obviously safe.

2004cef11e In the v6.12 scheduler development cycle we had 63 commits from 18 contributors:
- Implement the SCHED_DEADLINE server infrastructure - Daniel Bristot de Oliveira's
    last major contribution to the kernel:
 
      "SCHED_DEADLINE servers can help fixing starvation issues of low priority
      tasks (e.g., SCHED_OTHER) when higher priority tasks monopolize CPU
      cycles. Today we have RT Throttling; DEADLINE servers should be able to
      replace and improve that."
 
      (Daniel Bristot de Oliveira, Peter Zijlstra, Joel Fernandes,
       Youssef Esmat, Huang Shijie)
 
  - Preparatory changes for sched_ext integration:
 
      - Use set_next_task(.first) where required
      - Fix up set_next_task() implementations
      - Clean up DL server vs. core sched
      - Split up put_prev_task_balance()
      - Rework pick_next_task()
      - Combine the last put_prev_task() and the first set_next_task()
      - Rework dl_server
      - Add put_prev_task(.next)
 
       (Peter Zijlstra, with a fix by Tejun Heo)
 
  - Complete the EEVDF transition and refine EEVDF scheduling:
 
      - Implement delayed dequeue
      - Allow shorter slices to wakeup-preempt
      - Use sched_attr::sched_runtime to set request/slice suggestion
      - Document the new feature flags
      - Remove unused and duplicate-functionality fields
      - Simplify & unify pick_next_task_fair()
      - Misc debuggability enhancements
 
       (Peter Zijlstra, with fixes/cleanups by Dietmar Eggemann,
        Valentin Schneider and Chuyi Zhou)
 
  - Initialize the vruntime of a new task when it is first enqueued,

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Implement the SCHED_DEADLINE server infrastructure - Daniel Bristot
   de Oliveira's last major contribution to the kernel:

     "SCHED_DEADLINE servers can help fixing starvation issues of low
      priority tasks (e.g., SCHED_OTHER) when higher priority tasks
      monopolize CPU cycles. Today we have RT Throttling; DEADLINE
      servers should be able to replace and improve that."

   (Daniel Bristot de Oliveira, Peter Zijlstra, Joel Fernandes, Youssef
   Esmat, Huang Shijie)

 - Preparatory changes for sched_ext integration:
     - Use set_next_task(.first) where required
     - Fix up set_next_task() implementations
     - Clean up DL server vs. core sched
     - Split up put_prev_task_balance()
     - Rework pick_next_task()
     - Combine the last put_prev_task() and the first set_next_task()
     - Rework dl_server
     - Add put_prev_task(.next)

   (Peter Zijlstra, with a fix by Tejun Heo)

 - Complete the EEVDF transition and refine EEVDF scheduling:
     - Implement delayed dequeue
     - Allow shorter slices to wakeup-preempt
     - Use sched_attr::sched_runtime to set request/slice suggestion
     - Document the new feature flags
     - Remove unused and duplicate-functionality fields
     - Simplify & unify pick_next_task_fair()
     - Misc debuggability enhancements

35b603f8a7 ntp: Make sure RTC is synchronized when time goes backwards
sync_hw_clock() is normally called every 11 minutes when time is
synchronized. This issue is that this periodic timer uses the REALTIME
clock, so when time moves backwards (the NTP server jumps into the past),
the timer expires late.

If the timer expires late, which can be days later, the RTC will no longer
be updated, which is an issue if the device is abruptly powered OFF during
this period. When the device will restart (when powered ON), it will have
the date prior to the ADJ_SETOFFSET call.

A normal NTP server should not jump in the past like that, but it is
possible... Another way of reproducing this issue is to use phc2sys to
synchronize the REALTIME clock with, for example, an IRIG timecode with
the source always starting at the same date (not synchronized).

Also, if the time jump in the future by less than 11 minutes, the RTC may
not be updated immediately (minor issue). Consider the following scenario:
 - Time is synchronized, and sync_hw_clock() was just called (the timer
   expires in 11 minutes).
 - A time jump is realized in the future by a couple of minutes.
 - The time is synchronized again.
 - Users may expect that RTC to be updated as soon as possible, and not
   after 11 minutes (for the same reason, if a power loss occurs in this
   period).

Cancel periodic timer on any time jump (ADJ_SETOFFSET) greater than or
equal to 1s. The timer will be relaunched at the end of do_adjtimex() if
NTP is still considered synced. Otherwise the timer will be relaunched
later when NTP is synced. This way, when the time is synchronized again,
the RTC is updated after less than 2 seconds.

79f8b28e85 timers: Annotate possible non critical data race of next_expiry
Global timers could be expired remotely when the target CPU is idle. After
a remote timer expiry, the remote timer_base->next_expiry value is updated
while holding the timer_base->lock. When the formerly idle CPU becomes
active at the same time and checks whether timers need to expire, this
check is done lockless as it is on the local CPU. This could lead to a data
race, which was reported by sysbot:

  https://lore.kernel.org/r/000000000000916e55061f969e14@google.com

When the value is read lockless but changed by the remote CPU, only two non
critical scenarios could happen:

1) The already update value is read -> everything is perfect

2) The old value is read -> a superfluous timer soft interrupt is raised

The same situation could happen when enqueueing a new first pinned timer by
a remote CPU also with non critical scenarios:

1) The already update value is read -> everything is perfect

2) The old value is read -> when the CPU is idle, an IPI is executed
nevertheless and when the CPU isn't idle, the updated value will be visible
on the next tick and the timer might be late one jiffie.

As this is very unlikely to happen, the overhead of doing the check under
the lock is a way more effort, than a superfluous timer soft interrupt or a
possible 1 jiffie delay of the timer.

Document and annotate this non critical behavior in the code by using
READ/WRITE_ONCE() pair when accessing timer_base->next_expiry.

4381b895f5 timers: Remove historical extra jiffie for timeout in msleep()
msleep() and msleep_interruptible() add a jiffie to the requested timeout.

This extra jiffie was introduced to ensure that the timeout will not happen
earlier than specified.

Since the rework of the timer wheel, the enqueue path already takes care of
this. So the extra jiffie added by msleep*() is pointless now.

Remove this extra jiffie in msleep() and msleep_interruptible().

ed4fb6d7ef hrtimer: Use and report correct timerslack values for realtime tasks
The timerslack_ns setting is used to specify how much the hardware
timers should be delayed, to potentially dispatch multiple timers in a
single interrupt. This is a performance optimization. Timers of
realtime tasks (having a realtime scheduling policy) should not be
delayed.

This logic was inconsitently applied to the hrtimers, leading to delays
of realtime tasks which used timed waits for events (e.g. condition
variables). Due to the downstream override of the slack for rt tasks,
the procfs reported incorrect (non-zero) timerslack_ns values.

This is changed by setting the timer_slack_ns task attribute to 0 for
all tasks with a rt policy. By that, downstream users do not need to
specially handle rt tasks (w.r.t. the slack), and the procfs entry
shows the correct value of "0". Setting non-zero slack values (either
via procfs or PR_SET_TIMERSLACK) on tasks with a rt policy is ignored,
as stated in "man 2 PR_SET_TIMERSLACK":

  Timer slack is not applied to threads that are scheduled under a
  real-time scheduling policy (see sched_setscheduler(2)).

The special handling of timerslack on rt tasks in downstream users
is removed as well.

e68ac2b488 softirq: Remove unused 'action' parameter from action callback
When soft interrupt actions are called, they are passed a pointer to the
struct softirq action which contains the action's function pointer.

This pointer isn't useful, as the action callback already knows what
function it is. And since each callback handles a specific soft interrupt,
the callback also knows which soft interrupt number is running.

No soft interrupt action callback actually uses this parameter, so remove
it from the function pointer signature. This clarifies that soft interrupt
actions are global routines and makes it slightly cheaper to call them.

130fd056dd sched/rt: Clean up usage of rt_task()
rt_task() checks if a task has RT priority. But depends on your
dictionary, this could mean it belongs to RT class, or is a 'realtime'
task, which includes RT and DL classes.

Since this has caused some confusion already on discussion [1], it
seemed a clean up is due.

I define the usage of rt_task() to be tasks that belong to RT class.
Make sure that it returns true only for RT class and audit the users and
replace the ones required the old behavior with the new realtime_task()
which returns true for RT and DL classes. Introduce similar
realtime_prio() to create similar distinction to rt_prio() and update
the users that required the old behavior to use the new function.

Move MAX_DL_PRIO to prio.h so it can be used in the new definitions.

Document the functions to make it more obvious what is the difference
between them. PI-boosted tasks is a factor that must be taken into
account when choosing which function to use.

Rename task_is_realtime() to realtime_task_policy() as the old name is
confusing against the new realtime_task().

No functional changes were intended.

5916be8a53 timekeeping: Fix bogus clock_was_set() invocation in do_adjtimex()
The addition of the bases argument to clock_was_set() fixed up all call
sites correctly except for do_adjtimex(). This uses CLOCK_REALTIME
instead of CLOCK_SET_WALL as argument. CLOCK_REALTIME is 0.

As a result the effect of that clock_was_set() notification is incomplete
and might result in timers expiring late because the hrtimer code does
not re-evaluate the affected clock bases.

Use CLOCK_SET_WALL instead of CLOCK_REALTIME to tell the hrtimers code
which clock bases need to be re-evaluated.

06c03c8edc ntp: Safeguard against time_constant overflow
Using syzkaller with the recently reintroduced signed integer overflow
sanitizer produces this UBSAN report:

Call Trace:

The user supplied time_constant value is incremented by four and then
clamped to the operating range.

Before commit eea83d896e ("ntp: NTP4 user space bits update") the user
supplied value was sanity checked to be in the operating range. That change
removed the sanity check and relied on clamping after incrementing which
does not work correctly when the user supplied value is in the overflow
zone of the '+ 4' operation.

The operation requires CAP_SYS_TIME and the side effect of the overflow is
NTP getting out of sync.

Similar to the fixups for time_maxerror and time_esterror, clamp the user
space supplied value to the operating range.

time_maxerror is unconditionally incremented and the result is checked
against NTP_PHASE_LIMIT, but the increment itself can overflow, resulting
in wrap-around to negative space.

Before commit eea83d896e ("ntp: NTP4 user space bits update") the user
supplied value was sanity checked to be in the operating range. That change
removed the sanity check and relied on clamping in handle_overflow() which

Miroslav confirmed that the input value should be clamped to the operating
range and the same applies to time_esterror. The latter is not used by the
kernel, but the value still should be in the operating range as it was
before the sanity check got removed.

Clamp them to the operating range.

4ac1dd3245 clocksource: Set cs_watchdog_read() checks based on .uncertainty_margin
Right now, cs_watchdog_read() does clocksource sanity checks based
on WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW, which sets a floor on any clocksource's
.uncertainty_margin.  These sanity checks can therefore act
inappropriately for clocksources with large uncertainty margins.

One reason for a clocksource to have a large .uncertainty_margin is when
that clocksource has long read-out latency, given that it does not make
sense for the .uncertainty_margin to be smaller than the read-out latency.
With the current checks, cs_watchdog_read() could reject all normal
reads from a clocksource with long read-out latencies, such as those
from legacy clocksources that are no longer implemented in hardware.

Therefore, recast the cs_watchdog_read() checks in terms of the
.uncertainty_margin values of the clocksources involved in the timespan in
question.  The first covers two watchdog reads and one cs read, so use
twice the watchdog .uncertainty_margin plus that of the cs.  The second
covers only a pair of watchdog reads, so use twice the watchdog
.uncertainty_margin.

This went unnoticed as compilers hoist the access into the non-preemptible

the compiler keeps it at the place where the code puts it which rightfully
triggers:

- Stop testing the group->parent pointer as it is not guaranteed to be
       stable over a chain of operations by design. This includes a warning
       which would be nice to have but it produces false positives due to
       the racy nature of the check.
 
     - Plug a race between CPUs going in and out of idle and a CPU hotplug
       operation. The latter can create and connect a new hierarchy level
       which is missed in the concurrent updates of CPUs which go into idle.
       As a result the events of such a CPU might not be processed and
       timers go stale.
 
       Cure it by splitting the hotplug operation into a prepare and online
       callback. The prepare callback is guaranteed to run on an online and
       therefore active CPU. This CPU updates the hierarchy and being online
       ensures that there is always at least one migrator active which
       handles the modified hierarchy correctly when going idle. The online
       callback which runs on the incoming CPU then just marks the CPU
       active and brings it into operation.

       what's going on.

Pull timer migration updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Fixes and minor updates for the timer migration code:

   - Stop testing the group->parent pointer as it is not guaranteed to
     be stable over a chain of operations by design.

     This includes a warning which would be nice to have but it produces
     false positives due to the racy nature of the check.

   - Plug a race between CPUs going in and out of idle and a CPU hotplug
     operation. The latter can create and connect a new hierarchy level
     which is missed in the concurrent updates of CPUs which go into
     idle. As a result the events of such a CPU might not be processed
     and timers go stale.

     Cure it by splitting the hotplug operation into a prepare and
     online callback. The prepare callback is guaranteed to run on an
     online and therefore active CPU. This CPU updates the hierarchy and
     being online ensures that there is always at least one migrator
     active which handles the modified hierarchy correctly when going
     idle. The online callback which runs on the incoming CPU then just
     marks the CPU active and brings it into operation.

   - Improve tracing and polish the code further so it is more obvious
     what's going on"
