When a group event is updated with its expiry unchanged but a different
CPU, that target change may go unnoticed and the event may be propagated
up with a stale CPU value. The following depicts a scenario that has
been actually observed:
[GRP2:0]
migrator = GRP1:1
active = GRP1:1
nextevt = TGRP1:0 (T0)
/ \
[GRP1:0] [GRP1:1]
migrator = NONE [...]
active = NONE
nextevt = TGRP0:0 (T0)
/ \
[GRP0:0] [...]
migrator = NONE
active = NONE
nextevt = T0
/ \
0 (T0) 1 (T1)
idle idle
0) The hierarchy has 3 levels. The left part (GRP1:0) is all idle,
including CPU 0 and CPU 1 which have a timer each: T0 and T1. They have
the same expiry value.
[GRP2:0]
migrator = GRP1:1
active = GRP1:1
nextevt = KTIME_MAX
/ \
[GRP1:0] [GRP1:1]
migrator = NONE [...]
active = NONE
nextevt = TGRP0:0 (T0)
/ \
[GRP0:0] [...]
migrator = NONE
active = NONE
nextevt = T0
/ \
0 (T0) 1 (T1)
idle idle
1) The migrator in GRP1:1 handles remotely T0. The event is dequeued
from the top and T0 executed.
[GRP2:0]
migrator = GRP1:1
active = GRP1:1
nextevt = KTIME_MAX
/ \
[GRP1:0] [GRP1:1]
migrator = NONE [...]
active = NONE
nextevt = TGRP0:0 (T0)
/ \
[GRP0:0] [...]
migrator = NONE
active = NONE
nextevt = T1
/ \
0 1 (T1)
idle idle
2) The migrator in GRP1:1 fetches the next timer for CPU 0 and finds
none. But it updates the events from its groups, starting with GRP0:0
which now has T1 as its next event. So far so good.
[GRP2:0]
migrator = GRP1:1
active = GRP1:1
nextevt = KTIME_MAX
/ \
[GRP1:0] [GRP1:1]
migrator = NONE [...]
active = NONE
nextevt = TGRP0:0 (T0)
/ \
[GRP0:0] [...]
migrator = NONE
active = NONE
nextevt = T1
/ \
0 1 (T1)
idle idle
3) The migrator in GRP1:1 proceeds upward and updates the events in
GRP1:0. The child event TGRP0:0 is found queued with the same expiry
as before. And therefore it is left unchanged. However the target CPU
is not the same but that fact is ignored so TGRP0:0 still points to
CPU 0 when it should point to CPU 1.
[GRP2:0]
migrator = GRP1:1
active = GRP1:1
nextevt = TGRP1:0 (T0)
/ \
[GRP1:0] [GRP1:1]
migrator = NONE [...]
active = NONE
nextevt = TGRP0:0 (T0)
/ \
[GRP0:0] [...]
migrator = NONE
active = NONE
nextevt = T1
/ \
0 1 (T1)
idle idle
4) The propagation has reached the top level and TGRP1:0, having TGRP0:0
as its first event, also wrongly points to CPU 0. TGRP1:0 is added to
the top level group.
[GRP2:0]
migrator = GRP1:1
active = GRP1:1
nextevt = KTIME_MAX
/ \
[GRP1:0] [GRP1:1]
migrator = NONE [...]
active = NONE
nextevt = TGRP0:0 (T0)
/ \
[GRP0:0] [...]
migrator = NONE
active = NONE
nextevt = T1
/ \
0 1 (T1)
idle idle
5) The migrator in GRP1:1 dequeues the next event in top level pointing
to CPU 0. But since it actually doesn't see any real event in CPU 0, it
early returns.
6) T1 is left unhandled until either CPU 0 or CPU 1 wake up.
Some other bad scenario may involve trees with just two levels.
Fix this with unconditionally updating the CPU of the child event before
considering to early return while updating a queued event with an
unchanged expiry value.

While running in nohz_full mode, a task may enqueue a timer while the
tick is stopped. However the only places where the timer wheel,
alongside the timer migration machinery's decision, may reprogram the
next event accordingly with that new timer's expiry are the idle loop or
any IRQ tail.
However neither the idle task nor an interrupt may run on the CPU if it
resumes busy work in userspace for a long while in full dynticks mode.
To solve this, the timer enqueue path raises a self-IPI that will
re-evaluate the timer wheel on its IRQ tail. This asynchronous solution
avoids potential locking inversion.
This is supposed to happen both for local and global timers but commit:
b2cf7507e1 ("timers: Always queue timers on the local CPU")
broke the global timers case with removing the ->is_idle field handling
for the global base. As a result, global timers enqueue may go unnoticed
in nohz_full.
Fix this with restoring the idle tracking of the global timer's base,
allowing self-IPIs again on enqueue time.

When a CPU is an idle migrator, but another CPU wakes up before it,
becomes an active migrator and handles the queue, the initial idle
migrator may end up endlessly reprogramming its clockevent, chasing ghost
timers forever such as in the following scenario:
[GRP0:0]
migrator = 0
active = 0
nextevt = T1
/ \
0 1
active idle (T1)
0) CPU 1 is idle and has a timer queued (T1), CPU 0 is active and is
the active migrator.
[GRP0:0]
migrator = NONE
active = NONE
nextevt = T1
/ \
0 1
idle idle (T1)
wakeup = T1
1) CPU 0 is now idle and is therefore the idle migrator. It has
programmed its next timer interrupt to handle T1.
[GRP0:0]
migrator = 1
active = 1
nextevt = KTIME_MAX
/ \
0 1
idle active
wakeup = T1
2) CPU 1 has woken up, it is now active and it has just handled its own
timer T1.
3) CPU 0 gets a timer interrupt to handle T1 but tmigr_handle_remote()
realize it is not the migrator anymore. So it early returns without
observing that T1 has been expired already and therefore without
updating its ->wakeup value.
4) CPU 0 goes into tmigr_cpu_new_timer() which also early returns
because it doesn't queue a timer of its own. So ->wakeup is left
unchanged and the next timer is programmed to fire now.
5) goto 3) forever
This results in timer interrupt storms in idle and also in nohz_full (as
observed in rcutorture's TREE07 scenario).
Fix this with forcing a re-evaluation of tmc->wakeup while trying
remote timer handling when the CPU isn't the migrator anymmore. The
check is inherently racy but in the worst case the CPU just races setting
the KTIME_MAX value that a remote expiry also tries to set.

other oddities"

timer/migration: Remove buggy early return on deactivation
When a CPU enters into idle and deactivates itself from the timer
migration hierarchy without any global timer of its own to propagate,
the group event of that CPU is set to "ignore" and tmigr_update_events()
accordingly performs an early return without considering timers queued
by other CPUs.
If the hierarchy has a single level, and the CPU is the last one to
enter idle, it will ignore others' global timers, as in the following
layout:
[GRP0:0]
migrator = 0
active = 0
nextevt = T0i
/ \
0 1
active (T0i) idle (T1)
0) CPU 0 is active thus its event is ignored (the letter 'i') and so are
upper levels' events. CPU 1 is idle and has the timer T1 enqueued.
[GRP0:0]
migrator = NONE
active = NONE
nextevt = T0i
/ \
0 1
idle (T0i) idle (T1)
1) CPU 0 goes idle without global event queued. Therefore KTIME_MAX is
pushed as its next expiry and its own event kept as "ignore". As a result
tmigr_update_events() ignores T1 and CPU 0 goes to idle with T1
unhandled.
This isn't proper to single level hierarchy though. A similar issue,
although slightly different, may arise on multi-level:
[GRP1:0]
migrator = GRP0:0
active = GRP0:0
nextevt = T0:0i, T0:1
/ \
[GRP0:0] [GRP0:1]
migrator = 0 migrator = NONE
active = 0 active = NONE
nextevt = T0i nextevt = T2
/ \ / \
0 (T0i) 1 (T1) 2 (T2) 3
active idle idle idle
0) CPU 0 is active thus its event is ignored (the letter 'i') and so are
upper levels' events. CPU 1 is idle and has the timer T1 enqueued.
CPU 2 also has a timer. The expiry order is T0 (ignored) < T1 < T2
[GRP1:0]
migrator = GRP0:0
active = GRP0:0
nextevt = T0:0i, T0:1
/ \
[GRP0:0] [GRP0:1]
migrator = NONE migrator = NONE
active = NONE active = NONE
nextevt = T0i nextevt = T2
/ \ / \
0 (T0i) 1 (T1) 2 (T2) 3
idle idle idle idle
1) CPU 0 goes idle without global event queued. Therefore KTIME_MAX is
pushed as its next expiry and its own event kept as "ignore". As a result
tmigr_update_events() ignores T1. The change only propagated up to 1st
level so far.
[GRP1:0]
migrator = NONE
active = NONE
nextevt = T0:1
/ \
[GRP0:0] [GRP0:1]
migrator = NONE migrator = NONE
active = NONE active = NONE
nextevt = T0i nextevt = T2
/ \ / \
0 (T0i) 1 (T1) 2 (T2) 3
idle idle idle idle
2) The change now propagates up to the top. tmigr_update_events() finds
that the child event is ignored and thus removes it. The top level next
event is now T2 which is returned to CPU 0 as its next effective expiry
to take account for as the global idle migrator. However T1 has been
ignored along the way, leaving it unhandled.
Fix those issues with removing the buggy related early return. Ignored
child events must not prevent from evaluating the other events within
the same group.

- The hierarchical timer pull model
When timer wheel timers are armed they are placed into the timer wheel
of a CPU which is likely to be busy at the time of expiry. This is done
to avoid wakeups on potentially idle CPUs.
This is wrong in several aspects:
1) The heuristics to select the target CPU are wrong by
definition as the chance to get the prediction right is close
to zero.
2) Due to #1 it is possible that timers are accumulated on a
single target CPU
3) The required computation in the enqueue path is just overhead for
dubious value especially under the consideration that the vast
majority of timer wheel timers are either canceled or rearmed
before they expire.
The timer pull model avoids the above by removing the target
computation on enqueue and queueing timers always on the CPU on which
they get armed.
This is achieved by having separate wheels for CPU pinned timers and
global timers which do not care about where they expire.
As long as a CPU is busy it handles both the pinned and the global
timers which are queued on the CPU local timer wheels.
When a CPU goes idle it evaluates its own timer wheels:
- If the first expiring timer is a pinned timer, then the global
timers can be ignored as the CPU will wake up before they expire.
- If the first expiring timer is a global timer, then the expiry time
is propagated into the timer pull hierarchy and the CPU makes sure
to wake up for the first pinned timer.
The timer pull hierarchy organizes CPUs in groups of eight at the
lowest level and at the next levels groups of eight groups up to the
point where no further aggregation of groups is required, i.e. the
number of levels is log8(NR_CPUS). The magic number of eight has been
established by experimention, but can be adjusted if needed.
In each group one busy CPU acts as the migrator. It's only one CPU to
avoid lock contention on remote timer wheels.
The migrator CPU checks in its own timer wheel handling whether there
are other CPUs in the group which have gone idle and have global timers
to expire. If there are global timers to expire, the migrator locks the
remote CPU timer wheel and handles the expiry.
Depending on the group level in the hierarchy this handling can require
to walk the hierarchy downwards to the CPU level.
Special care is taken when the last CPU goes idle. At this point the
CPU is the systemwide migrator at the top of the hierarchy and it
therefore cannot delegate to the hierarchy. It needs to arm its own
timer device to expire either at the first expiring timer in the
hierarchy or at the first CPU local timer, which ever expires first.
This completely removes the overhead from the enqueue path, which is
e.g. for networking a true hotpath and trades it for a slightly more
complex idle path.
This has been in development for a couple of years and the final series
has been extensively tested by various teams from silicon vendors and
ran through extensive CI.
There have been slight performance improvements observed on network
centric workloads and an Intel team confirmed that this allows them to
power down a die completely on a mult-die socket for the first time in
a mostly idle scenario.

netperf test which is currently investigated, but the rest is either
positive or neutral performance wise and positive on the power
management side.

The cross-timestamp mechanism which allows to correlate hardware
clocks uses clocksource pointers for describing the correlation.
That's suboptimal as drivers need to obtain the pointer, which requires
needless exports and exposing internals.
This can be completely avoided by assigning clocksource IDs and using
them for describing the correlated clock source.
This update adds clocksource IDs to all clocksources in the tree which
can be exposed to this mechanism and removes the pointer and now needless
exports.
This is separate from the timer core changes as it was provided to the
PTP folks to build further changes on top.
A related improvement for the core and the correlation handling has not
made it this time, but is expected to get ready for the next round.

When a CPU is the last active in the hierarchy and it tries to enter
into idle, the quick check looking up the next event towards cpuidle
heuristics may report a too late expiry, such as in the following
scenario:
[GRP1:0]
migrator = NONE
active = NONE
nextevt = T0:0, T0:1
/ \
[GRP0:0] [GRP0:1]
migrator = NONE migrator = NONE
active = NONE active = NONE
nextevt = T0, T1 nextevt = T2
/ \ / \
0 1 2 3
idle idle idle idle
0) The whole system is idle, and CPU 0 was the last migrator. CPU 0 has
a timer (T0), CPU 1 has a timer (T1) and CPU 2 has a timer (T2). The
expire order is T0 < T1 < T2.
[GRP1:0]
migrator = GRP0:0
active = GRP0:0
nextevt = T0:0(i), T0:1
/ \
[GRP0:0] [GRP0:1]
migrator = CPU0 migrator = NONE
active = CPU0 active = NONE
nextevt = T0(i), T1 nextevt = T2
/ \ / \
0 1 2 3
active idle idle idle
1) CPU 0 becomes active. The (i) means a now ignored timer.
[GRP1:0]
migrator = GRP0:0
active = GRP0:0
nextevt = T0:1
/ \
[GRP0:0] [GRP0:1]
migrator = CPU0 migrator = NONE
active = CPU0 active = NONE
nextevt = T1 nextevt = T2
/ \ / \
0 1 2 3
active idle idle idle
2) CPU 0 handles remote. No timer actually expired but ignored timers
have been cleaned out and their sibling's timers haven't been
propagated. As a result the top level's next event is T2 and not T1.
3) CPU 0 tries to enter idle without any global timer enqueued and calls
tmigr_quick_check(). The expiry of T2 is returned instead of the
expiry of T1.
When the quick check returns an expiry that is too late, the cpuidle
governor may pick up a C-state that is too deep. This may be result into
undesired CPU wake up latency if the next timer is actually close enough.
Fix this with assuming that expiries aren't sorted top-down while
performing the quick check. Pick up instead the earliest encountered one
while walking up the hierarchy.

The x86 architecture has an idle routine for AMD CPUs which are affected
by erratum 400. On the affected CPUs the local APIC timer stops in the
C1E halt state.
It therefore requires tick broadcasting. The invocation of
tick_broadcast_enter()/exit() from this function violates the RCU
constraints because it can end up in lockdep or tracing, which
rightfully triggers a warning.
tick_broadcast_enter()/exit() must be invoked before ct_cpuidle_enter()
and after ct_cpuidle_exit() in default_idle_call().
Add a static branch conditional invocation of tick_broadcast_enter()/exit()
into this function to allow X86 to replace the AMD specific idle code. It's
guarded by a config switch which will be selected by x86. Otherwise it's
a NOOP.

The next timer (re-)evaluation, with the purpose of entering/updating
the dyntick mode, can happen from 3 sites and none of them are relevant
while the CPU is offline:
1) The idle loop:
a) From the quick check helping the cpuidle governor to heuristically
predict the best C-state.
b) While stopping the tick.
But if the CPU is offline, the tick has been cancelled and there is
consequently no need to further stop the tick.
2) Remote expiry: when a CPU remotely expires global timers on behalf of
another CPU, the latter target's next timer is re-evaluated
afterwards. However remote expîry doesn't happen on offline CPUs.
3) IRQ exit: on nohz_full mode, the tick is (re-)evaluated on IRQ exit.
But full dynticks is disabled on offline CPUs.
Therefore it is safe to assume that no next dyntick timer lookup can
be performed on offline CPUs.
Assert this expectation to report any surprise.

The timekeeping duty is handed over from the outgoing CPU on stop
machine, then the oneshot tick is stopped right after. Therefore it's
guaranteed that the current CPU isn't the timekeeper upon its last call
to idle.
Besides, calling tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() while the dying CPU goes
into idle suggests that the tick is going to be stopped while it is
actually stopped already from the appropriate CPU hotplug state.
Remove the confusing call and the obsolete case handling and convert it
to a sanity check that verifies the above assumption.

machine. This works well if CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON=n or the tick is in
high-res mode. However in low-res dynticks mode, the tick isn't
cancelled until the clockevent is shut down, which can happen later. The
tick may therefore fire again once IRQs are re-enabled on stop machine
and until IRQs are disabled for good upon the last call to idle.
That's so many opportunities for a timekeeper to go idle and the
outgoing CPU to take over that duty. This is why
tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() is called one last time on idle if the CPU
is seen offline: so that the timekeeping duty is handed over again in
case the CPU has re-taken the duty.
This means there are two timekeeping handovers on CPU down hotplug with
different undocumented constraints and purposes:
1) A handover on stop machine for !dynticks || highres. All online CPUs
are guaranteed to be non-idle and the timekeeping duty can be safely
handed-over. The hrtimer tick is cancelled so it is guaranteed that in
dynticks mode the outgoing CPU won't take again the duty.
2) A handover on last idle call for dynticks && lowres. Setting the
duty to TICK_DO_TIMER_NONE makes sure that a CPU will take over the
timekeeping.
Prepare for consolidating the handover to a single place (the first one)
with shutting down the low-res tick as well from
tick_cancel_sched_timer() as well. This will simplify the handover and
unify the tick cancellation between high-res and low-res.

The nohz mode field tells about low resolution nohz mode or high
resolution nohz mode but it doesn't tell about high resolution non-nohz
mode.
In order to retrieve the latter state, tick_cancel_sched_timer() must
fiddle with struct hrtimer's internals to guess if the tick has been
initialized in high resolution.
Move instead the nohz mode field information into the tick flags and
provide two new bits: one to know if the tick is in nohz mode and
another one to know if the tick is in high resolution. The combination
of those two flags provides all the needed informations to determine
which of the three tick modes is running.

sharing the same memory storage.
The recent move of the "got_idle_tick" bitfield to its own storage shows
that the use of these bitfields, as pretty as they look, can be as much

tick_nohz_idle_got_tick() is called by cpuidle_reflect() within the idle
loop with interrupts enabled. This function modifies the struct
tick_sched's bitfield "got_idle_tick". However this bitfield is stored
within the same mask as other bitfields that can be modified from
interrupts.
Fortunately so far it looks like the only race that can happen is while
writing ->got_idle_tick to 0, an interrupt fires and writes the
->idle_active field to 0. It's then possible that the interrupted write
to ->got_idle_tick writes back the old value of ->idle_active back to 1.
However if that happens, the worst possible outcome is that the time
spent between that interrupt and the upcoming call to
tick_nohz_idle_exit() is accounted as idle, which is negligible quantity.
Still all the bitfield writes within this struct tick_sched's shadow
mask should be IRQ-safe. Therefore move this bitfield out to its own
storage to avoid further suprises.

order to update/restart the tick if needed.
However in order for the tick to be stopped, the nohz_mode has to be

During the CPU offlining process, the various timer tick features are
shut down from scattered places, sometimes from teardown callbacks on
stop machine, sometimes through explicit calls, sometimes from the
control CPU after the CPU died. The reason why these shutdown operations
are spread around is not always clear and it makes the tick lifecycle
hard to follow.
The tick should be shut down in order from highest to lowest level:
On stop machine from the dying CPU (high-level):
1) Hand-over the timekeeping duty (tick_handover_do_timer())
2) Cancel the tick implementation called by the clockevent callback
(tick_cancel_sched_timer())
3) Shutdown broadcasting (tick_offline_cpu() / tick_broadcast_offline())
On stop machine from the dying CPU (low-level):
4) Shutdown clockevents drivers (CPUHP_AP_*_TIMER_STARTING states)
From the control CPU after the CPU died (low-level):
5) Shutdown/unregister/cleanup clockevents for the dead CPU
(tick_cleanup_dead_cpu())
Instead the current order is 2, 4 (both from CPU hotplug states), then
1 and 3 through direct calls. This layout and order don't make much
sense. The operations 1, 2, 3 should be gathered together and in order.
Sort this situation with creating a new TICK shut-down CPU hotplug state
and start with introducing the timekeeping duty hand-over there. The
state must precede hrtimers migration because the tick hrtimer will be
stopped from it in a further patch.

Placing timers at enqueue time on a target CPU based on dubious heuristics
does not make any sense:
1) Most timer wheel timers are canceled or rearmed before they expire.
2) The heuristics to predict which CPU will be busy when the timer expires
are wrong by definition.
So placing the timers at enqueue wastes precious cycles.
The proper solution to this problem is to always queue the timers on the
local CPU and allow the non pinned timers to be pulled onto a busy CPU at
expiry time.
Therefore split the timer storage into local pinned and global timers:
Local pinned timers are always expired on the CPU on which they have been
queued. Global timers can be expired on any CPU.
As long as a CPU is busy it expires both local and global timers. When a
CPU goes idle it arms for the first expiring local timer. If the first
expiring pinned (local) timer is before the first expiring movable timer,
then no action is required because the CPU will wake up before the first
movable timer expires. If the first expiring movable timer is before the
first expiring pinned (local) timer, then this timer is queued into an idle
timerqueue and eventually expired by another active CPU.
To avoid global locking the timerqueues are implemented as a hierarchy. The
lowest level of the hierarchy holds the CPUs. The CPUs are associated to
groups of 8, which are separated per node. If more than one CPU group
exist, then a second level in the hierarchy collects the groups. Depending
on the size of the system more than 2 levels are required. Each group has a
"migrator" which checks the timerqueue during the tick for remote expirable
timers.
If the last CPU in a group goes idle it reports the first expiring event in
the group up to the next group(s) in the hierarchy. If the last CPU goes
idle it arms its timer for the first system wide expiring timer to ensure
that no timer event is missed.

The timer base is marked idle when get_next_timer_interrupt() is
executed. But the decision whether the tick will be stopped and whether the
system is able to go idle is done later. When the timer bases is marked
idle and a new first timer is enqueued remote an IPI is raised. Even if it
is not required because the tick is not stopped and the timer base is
evaluated again at the next tick.
To prevent this, the timer base is marked idle in tick_nohz_stop_tick() and
get_next_timer_interrupt() is streamlined by only looking for the next timer
interrupt. All other work is postponed to timer_base_try_to_set_idle() which is
called by tick_nohz_stop_tick(). timer_base_try_to_set_idle() never resets
timer_base::is_idle state. This is done when the tick is restarted via
tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick().
With this, tick_sched::tick_stopped and timer_base::is_idle are always in
sync. So there is no longer the need to execute timer_clear_idle() in
tick_nohz_idle_retain_tick(). This was required before, as
tick_nohz_next_event() set timer_base::is_idle even if the tick would not be
stopped. So timer_clear_idle() is only executed, when timer base is idle. So the
check whether timer base is idle, is now no longer required as well.

clocksource: Checking clocksource tsc synchronization from CPU 319 to CPUs 0,99,136,180,210,542,601,896.
clocksource: Switched to clocksource hpet
The reason is that for platform with a large number of CPUs, there are
sporadic big or huge read latencies while reading the watchog/clocksource
during boot or when system is under stress work load, and the frequency and
maximum value of the latency goes up with the number of online CPUs.
The cCurrent code already has logic to detect and filter such high latency
case by reading the watchdog twice and checking the two deltas. Due to the
randomness of the latency, there is a low probabilty that the first delta
(latency) is big, but the second delta is small and looks valid. The
watchdog code retries the readouts by default twice, which is not
necessarily sufficient for systems with a large number of CPUs.
There is a command line parameter 'max_cswd_read_retries' which allows to
increase the number of retries, but that's not user friendly as it needs to
be tweaked per system. As the number of required retries is proportional to
the number of online CPUs, this parameter can be calculated at runtime.
Scale and enlarge the number of retries according to the number of online
CPUs and remove the command line parameter completely.

So far, get_device_system_crosststamp() unconditionally passes
system_counterval.cycles to timekeeping_cycles_to_ns(). But when
interpolating system time (do_interp == true), system_counterval.cycles is
before tkr_mono.cycle_last, contrary to the timekeeping_cycles_to_ns()
expectations.
On x86, CONFIG_CLOCKSOURCE_VALIDATE_LAST_CYCLE will mitigate on
interpolating, setting delta to 0. With delta == 0, xtstamp->sys_monoraw
and xtstamp->sys_realtime are then set to the last update time, as
implicitly expected by adjust_historical_crosststamp(). On other
architectures, the resulting nonsense xtstamp->sys_monoraw and
xtstamp->sys_realtime corrupt the xtstamp (ts) adjustment in
adjust_historical_crosststamp().
Fix this by deriving xtstamp->sys_monoraw and xtstamp->sys_realtime from
the last update time when interpolating, by using the local variable
"cycles". The local variable already has the right value when
interpolating, unlike system_counterval.cycles.

The cycle_between() helper checks if parameter test is in the open interval
(before, after). Colloquially speaking, this also applies to the counter
wrap-around special case before > after. get_device_system_crosststamp()
currently uses cycle_between() at the first call site to decide whether to
interpolate for older counter readings.
get_device_system_crosststamp() has the following problem with
cycle_between() testing against an open interval: Assume that, by chance,
cycles == tk->tkr_mono.cycle_last (in the following, "cycle_last" for
brevity). Then, cycle_between() at the first call site, with effective
argument values cycle_between(cycle_last, cycles, now), returns false,
enabling interpolation. During interpolation,
get_device_system_crosststamp() will then call cycle_between() at the
second call site (if a history_begin was supplied). The effective argument
values are cycle_between(history_begin->cycles, cycles, cycles), since
system_counterval.cycles == interval_start == cycles, per the assumption.
Due to the test against the open interval, cycle_between() returns false
again. This causes get_device_system_crosststamp() to return -EINVAL.
This failure should be avoided, since get_device_system_crosststamp() works
both when cycles follows cycle_last (no interpolation), and when cycles
precedes cycle_last (interpolation). For the case cycles == cycle_last,
interpolation is actually unneeded.
Fix this by changing cycle_between() into timestamp_in_interval(), which
now checks against the closed interval, rather than the open interval.
This changes the get_device_system_crosststamp() behavior for three corner
cases:
1. Bypass interpolation in the case cycles == tk->tkr_mono.cycle_last,
fixing the problem described above.
2. At the first timestamp_in_interval() call site, cycles == now no longer
causes failure.
3. At the second timestamp_in_interval() call site, history_begin->cycles
== system_counterval.cycles no longer causes failure.
adjust_historical_crosststamp() also works for this corner case,
where partial_history_cycles == total_history_cycles.
These behavioral changes should not cause any problems.

Clocksource pointers can be problematic to obtain for drivers which are not
clocksource drivers themselves. In particular, the RFC virtio_rtc driver
[1] would require a new helper function to obtain a pointer to the ARM
Generic Timer clocksource. The ptp_kvm driver also required a similar
workaround.
Address this by evaluating the clocksource ID, rather than the clocksource
pointer, of struct system_counterval_t. By this, setting the clocksource
pointer becomes unneeded, and get_device_system_crosststamp() callers will
no longer need to supply clocksource pointers.
All relevant clocksource drivers provide the ID, so this change is not
changing the behaviour.

The hrtimers migration on CPU-down hotplug process has been moved
earlier, before the CPU actually goes to die. This leaves a small window
of opportunity to queue an hrtimer in a blind spot, leaving it ignored.
For example a practical case has been reported with RCU waking up a
SCHED_FIFO task right before the CPUHP_AP_IDLE_DEAD stage, queuing that
way a sched/rt timer to the local offline CPU.
Make sure such situations never go unnoticed and warn when that happens.

There have been reports of the watchdog marking clocksources unstable on
machines with 8 NUMA nodes:
clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU373:
Marking clocksource 'tsc' as unstable because the skew is too large:
clocksource: 'hpet' wd_nsec: 14523447520
clocksource: 'tsc' cs_nsec: 14524115132
The measured clocksource skew - the absolute difference between cs_nsec
and wd_nsec - was 668 microseconds:
cs_nsec - wd_nsec = 14524115132 - 14523447520 = 667612
The kernel used 200 microseconds for the uncertainty_margin of both the
clocksource and watchdog, resulting in a threshold of 400 microseconds (the
md variable). Both the cs_nsec and the wd_nsec value indicate that the
readout interval was circa 14.5 seconds. The observed behaviour is that
watchdog checks failed for large readout intervals on 8 NUMA node
machines. This indicates that the size of the skew was directly proportinal
to the length of the readout interval on those machines. The measured
clocksource skew, 668 microseconds, was evaluated against a threshold (the
md variable) that is suited for readout intervals of roughly
WATCHDOG_INTERVAL, i.e. HZ >> 1, which is 0.5 second.
The intention of 2e27e793e2 ("clocksource: Reduce clocksource-skew
threshold") was to tighten the threshold for evaluating skew and set the
lower bound for the uncertainty_margin of clocksources to twice
WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW. Later in c37e85c135 ("clocksource: Loosen clocksource
watchdog constraints"), the WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW constant was increased to
125 microseconds to fit the limit of NTP, which is able to use a
clocksource that suffers from up to 500 microseconds of skew per second.
Both the TSC and the HPET use default uncertainty_margin. When the
readout interval gets stretched the default uncertainty_margin is no
longer a suitable lower bound for evaluating skew - it imposes a limit
that is far stricter than the skew with which NTP can deal.
The root causes of the skew being directly proportinal to the length of
the readout interval are:
* the inaccuracy of the shift/mult pairs of clocksources and the watchdog
* the conversion to nanoseconds is imprecise for large readout intervals
Prevent this by skipping the current watchdog check if the readout
interval exceeds 2 * WATCHDOG_INTERVAL. Considering the maximum readout
interval of 2 * WATCHDOG_INTERVAL, the current default uncertainty margin
(of the TSC and HPET) corresponds to a limit on clocksource skew of 250
ppm (microseconds of skew per second). To keep the limit imposed by NTP
(500 microseconds of skew per second) for all possible readout intervals,
the margins would have to be scaled so that the threshold value is
proportional to the length of the actual readout interval.
As for why the readout interval may get stretched: Since the watchdog is
executed in softirq context the expiration of the watchdog timer can get
severely delayed on account of a ksoftirqd thread not getting to run in a
timely manner. Surely, a system with such belated softirq execution is not
working well and the scheduling issue should be looked into but the
clocksource watchdog should be able to deal with it accordingly.

cpu0 81 0 117 114929 33 3 4 18 0 0
Reason for this is that get_idle_time() in fs/proc/stat.c has different
sources for both values depending on if a CPU is online or offline:
- if a CPU is online the values may be taken from its per cpu
tick_cpu_sched structure
- if a CPU is offline the values are taken from its per cpu cpustat
structure
The problem is that the per cpu tick_cpu_sched structure is set to zero on
CPU offline. See tick_cancel_sched_timer() in kernel/time/tick-sched.c.
Therefore when a CPU is brought offline and online afterwards both its idle
and iowait sleeptime will be zero, causing a jump backward in total system
idle and iowait sleeptime. In a similar way if a CPU is then brought
offline again the total idle and iowait sleeptimes will jump forward.
It looks like this behavior was introduced with commit 4b0c0f294f
("tick: Cleanup NOHZ per cpu data on cpu down").
This was only noticed now on s390, since we switched to generic idle time
reporting with commit be76ea6144 ("s390/idle: remove arch_cpu_idle_time()
and corresponding code").
Fix this by preserving the values of idle_sleeptime and iowait_sleeptime
members of the per-cpu tick_sched structure on CPU hotplug.

When no timer is queued into an empty timer base, the next_expiry will not
be updated. It was originally calculated as
base->clk + NEXT_TIMER_MAX_DELTA
When the timer base stays empty long enough (> NEXT_TIMER_MAX_DELTA), the
next_expiry value of the empty base suggests that there is a timer pending
soon. This might be more a kind of a theoretical problem, but the fix
doesn't hurt.
Use only base->next_expiry value as nextevt when timers are
pending. Otherwise nextevt will be jiffies + NEXT_TIMER_MAX_DELTA. As all
information is in place, update base->next_expiry value of the empty timer
base as well.

To improve readability of the code, split base->idle calculation and
expires calculation into separate parts. While at it, update the comment
about timer base idle marking.
Thereby the following subtle change happens if the next event is just one
jiffy ahead and the tick was already stopped: Originally base->is_idle
remains true in this situation. Now base->is_idle turns to false. This may
spare an IPI if a timer is enqueued remotely to an idle CPU that is going
to tick on the next jiffy.

Forwarding timer base is done when the next expiry value is calculated and
when a new timer is enqueued. When the next expiry value is calculated the
jiffies value is already available and does not need to be reread a second
time.
Splitting out the forward timer base functionality to make it executable

jiffies need to be read.

The current check whether a forward of the timer base is required can be
simplified by using an already existing comparison function which is easier
to read. The related comment is outdated and was not updated when the check
changed in commit 36cd28a4cd ("timers: Lower base clock forwarding
threshold").
Use time_before_eq() for the check and replace the comment by copying the
comment from the same check inside get_next_timer_interrupt(). Move the
precious information of the outdated comment to the proper place in
__run_timers().

For starting a timer, the timer is enqueued into a bucket of the timer
wheel. The bucket expiry is the defacto expiry of the timer but it is not
equal the timer expiry because of increasing granularity when bucket is in
a higher level of the wheel. To be able to figure out in a trace whether a
timer expired in time or not, the bucket expiry time is required as well.
Add bucket expiry time to the timer_start tracepoint and thereby simplify
the arguments.

When the next tick is in the past, the delta between basemono and the next
tick gets negativ. But the next tick should never be in the past. The
negative effect of a wrong next tick might be a stop of the tick and timers
might expire late.
To prevent expensive debugging when changing underlying code, add a
WARN_ON_ONCE into this code path. To prevent complete misbehaviour, also
reset next_tick to basemono in this case.

Pull timer fix from Borislav Petkov:
- Do the push of pending hrtimers away from a CPU which is being
offlined earlier in the offlining process in order to prevent a
deadlock
* tag 'timers_urgent_for_v6.7_rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
hrtimers: Push pending hrtimers away from outgoing CPU earlier
2b8272ff4a ("cpu/hotplug: Prevent self deadlock on CPU hot-unplug")
solved the straight forward CPU hotplug deadlock vs. the scheduler
bandwidth timer. Yu discovered a more involved variant where a task which
has a bandwidth timer started on the outgoing CPU holds a lock and then
gets throttled. If the lock required by one of the CPU hotplug callbacks
the hotplug operation deadlocks because the unthrottling timer event is not
handled on the dying CPU and can only be recovered once the control CPU
reaches the hotplug state which pulls the pending hrtimers from the dead
CPU.
Solve this by pushing the hrtimers away from the dying CPU in the dying
callbacks. Nothing can queue a hrtimer on the dying CPU at that point because
all other CPUs spin in stop_machine() with interrupts disabled and once the
operation is finished the CPU is marked offline.

a route attribute.
- Defer regular TCP ACK while processing socket backlog, try to send
a cumulative ACK at the end. Increase single TCP flow performance
on a 200Gbit NIC by 20% (100Gbit -> 120Gbit).
- The Fair Queuing (FQ) packet scheduler:
- add built-in 3 band prio / WRR scheduling
- support bypass if the qdisc is mostly idle (5% speed up for TCP RR)
- improve inactive flow reporting
- optimize the layout of structures for better cache locality
- Support TCP Authentication Option (RFC 5925, TCP-AO), a more modern
replacement for the old MD5 option.
- Add more retransmission timeout (RTO) related statistics to TCP_INFO.
- Support sending fragmented skbs over vsock sockets.
- Make sure we send SIGPIPE for vsock sockets if socket was shutdown().
- Add sysctl for ignoring lower limit on lifetime in Router
Advertisement PIO, based on an in-progress IETF draft.
- Add sysctl to control activation of TCP ping-pong mode.
- Add sysctl to make connection timeout in MPTCP configurable.
- Support rcvlowat and notsent_lowat on MPTCP sockets, to help apps
limit the number of wakeups.
- Support netlink GET for MDB (multicast forwarding), allowing user
space to request a single MDB entry instead of dumping the entire
table.
- Support selective FDB flushing in the VXLAN tunnel driver.
- Allow limiting learned FDB entries in bridges, prevent OOM attacks.
- Allow controlling via configfs netconsole targets which were created
via the kernel cmdline at boot, rather than via configfs at runtime.
- Support multiple PTP timestamp event queue readers with different
filters.
- MCTP over I3C.
BPF
---
- Add new veth-like netdevice where BPF program defines the logic
of the xmit routine. It can operate in L3 and L2 mode.
- Support exceptions - allow asserting conditions which should
never be true but are hard for the verifier to infer.
With some extra flexibility around handling of the exit / failure.
https://lwn.net/Articles/938435/
- Add support for local per-cpu kptr, allow allocating and storing
per-cpu objects in maps. Access to those objects operates on
the value for the current CPU. This allows to deprecate local
one-off implementations of per-CPU storage like
BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_CGROUP_STORAGE maps.
- Extend cgroup BPF sockaddr hooks for UNIX sockets. The use case is
for systemd to re-implement the LogNamespace feature which allows
running multiple instances of systemd-journald to process the logs
of different services.
- Enable open-coded task_vma iteration, after maple tree conversion
made it hard to directly walk VMAs in tracing programs.
- Add open-coded task, css_task and css iterator support.
One of the use cases is customizable OOM victim selection via BPF.

executions and subsequent executions of BPF programs.
- Inherit system settings for CPU security mitigations.
- Add BPF v4 CPU instruction support for arm32 and s390x.
Changes to common code
----------------------
- overflow: add DEFINE_FLEX() for on-stack definition of structs
with flexible array members.
- Process doc update with more guidance for reviewers.
Driver API
----------
- Simplify locking in WiFi (cfg80211 and mac80211 layers), use wiphy
mutex in most places and remove a lot of smaller locks.
- Create a common DPLL configuration API. Allow configuring
and querying state of PLL circuits used for clock syntonization,
in network time distribution.
- Unify fragmented and full page allocation APIs in page pool code.
Let drivers be ignorant of PAGE_SIZE.
- Rework PHY state machine to avoid races with calls to phy_stop().
- Notify DSA drivers of MAC address changes on user ports, improve
correctness of offloads which depend on matching port MAC addresses.
- Allow antenna control on injected WiFi frames.
- Reduce the number of variants of napi_schedule().
- Simplify error handling when composing devlink health messages.
Misc
----

Add the necessary structure to support custom private-data per
posix-clock user.
The previous implementation of posix-clock assumed all file open
instances need access to the same clock structure on private_data.
The need for individual data structures per file open instance has been
identified when developing support for multiple timestamp event queue
users for ptp_clock.

Some userspace applications use timerfd_create() to request wakeups after
a long period of time. For example, a backup application may request a
wakeup once per week. This is perfectly fine as long as the system does
not try to suspend. However, if the system tries to suspend and the
system's RTC does not support the required alarm timeout, the suspend
operation will fail with an error such as
rtc_cmos 00:01: Alarms can be up to one day in the future
PM: dpm_run_callback(): platform_pm_suspend+0x0/0x4a returns -22
alarmtimer alarmtimer.4.auto: platform_pm_suspend+0x0/0x4a returned -22 after 117 usecs
PM: Device alarmtimer.4.auto failed to suspend: error -22
This results in a refusal to suspend the system, causing substantial
battery drain on affected systems.
To fix the problem, use the maximum alarm time offset as reported by RTC
drivers to set the maximum alarm time. While this may result in early
wakeups from suspend, it is still much better than not suspending at all.
Standardize system behavior if the requested alarm timeout is larger than
the alarm timeout supported by the rtc chip. Currently, in this situation,
the RTC driver will do one of the following:
- It may return an error.
- It may limit the alarm timeout to the maximum supported by the rtc chip.
- It may mask the timeout by the maximum alarm timeout supported by the RTC
chip (i.e. a requested timeout of 1 day + 1 minute may result in a 1
minute timeout).
With this in place, if the RTC driver reports the maximum alarm timeout
supported by the RTC chip, the system will always limit the alarm timeout
to the maximum supported by the RTC chip.

Inspired by recent enhancements to comments in kernel/time/tick-sched.c,
go through the entire file and fix/unify its comments:
- Fix over a dozen typos, spelling mistakes & cases of bad grammar.
- Re-phrase sentences that I needed to read three times to understand.
[ I used the following arbitrary rule-of-thumb:
- if I had to read a comment twice, it was usually my fault,
- if I had to read it a third time, it was the comment's fault. ]
- Comma updates:
- Add commas where needed
- Remove commas where not needed
- In cases where a comma is optional, choose one variant and try to
standardize it over similar sentences in the file.
- Standardize on standalone 'NOHZ' spelling in free-flowing comments:
s/nohz/NOHZ
s/no idle tick/NOHZ
Still keep 'dynticks' as a popular synonym.
- Standardize on referring to variable names within free-flowing
comments with the "'var'" nomenclature, and function names as
"function_name()".
- Standardize on '64-bit' and '32-bit':
s/32bit/32-bit
s/64bit/64-bit
- Standardize on 'IRQ work':
s/irq work/IRQ work
- A few other tidyups I probably missed to list.
No change in functionality intended - other than one small change to
a syslog output string.

In lowres dynticks mode, just like in highres dynticks mode, when there
is no tick to program in the future, the tick eventually gets
deactivated either:
* From the idle loop if in idle mode.
* From the IRQ exit if in full dynticks mode.
Therefore there is no need to deactivate it from the tick itself. This
just just brings more overhead in the idle tick path for no reason.

In commit 0345691b24 ("tick/rcu: Stop allowing RCU_SOFTIRQ in idle") the
new function report_idle_softirq() was created by breaking code out of the
existing can_stop_idle_tick() for kernels v5.18 and newer.
In doing so, the code essentially went from a one conditional:
if (a && b && c)
warn();
to a three conditional:
if (!a)
return;
if (!b)
return;
if (!c)
return;
warn();
But that conversion got the condition for the RT specific
local_bh_blocked() wrong. The original condition was:
!local_bh_blocked()
but the conversion failed to negate it so it ended up as:
if (!local_bh_blocked())
return false;
This issue lay dormant until another fixup for the same commit was added
in commit a7e282c777 ("tick/rcu: Fix bogus ratelimit condition").
This commit realized the ratelimit was essentially set to zero instead
of ten, and hence *no* softirq pending messages would ever be issued.
Once this commit was backported via linux-stable, both the v6.1 and v6.4
preempt-rt kernels started printing out 10 instances of this at boot:
NOHZ tick-stop error: local softirq work is pending, handler #80!!!
Remove the negation and return when local_bh_blocked() evaluates to true to
bring the correct behaviour back.

Mark the time KUnit test, time64_to_tm_test_date_range, as slow using test
attributes.
This test ran relatively much slower than most other KUnit tests.
By marking this test as slow, the test can now be filtered using the KUnit
test attribute filtering feature. Example: --filter "speed>slow". This will
run only the tests that have speeds faster than slow. The slow attribute
will also be outputted in KTAP.

Pull hardening updates from Kees Cook:
"There are three areas of note:
A bunch of strlcpy()->strscpy() conversions ended up living in my tree
since they were either Acked by maintainers for me to carry, or got
ignored for multiple weeks (and were trivial changes).
The compiler option '-fstrict-flex-arrays=3' has been enabled
globally, and has been in -next for the entire devel cycle. This
changes compiler diagnostics (though mainly just -Warray-bounds which
is disabled) and potential UBSAN_BOUNDS and FORTIFY _warning_
coverage. In other words, there are no new restrictions, just
potentially new warnings. Any new FORTIFY warnings we've seen have
been fixed (usually in their respective subsystem trees). For more
details, see commit df8fc4e934.
The under-development compiler attribute __counted_by has been added
so that we can start annotating flexible array members with their
associated structure member that tracks the count of flexible array
elements at run-time. It is possible (likely?) that the exact syntax
of the attribute will change before it is finalized, but GCC and Clang
are working together to sort it out. Any changes can be made to the
macro while we continue to add annotations.
As an example of that last case, I have a treewide commit waiting with
such annotations found via Coccinelle:

- Scheduler SMP load-balancer improvements:
- Avoid unnecessary migrations within SMT domains on hybrid systems.
Problem:
On hybrid CPU systems, (processors with a mixture of higher-frequency
SMT cores and lower-frequency non-SMT cores), under the old code
lower-priority CPUs pulled tasks from the higher-priority cores if
more than one SMT sibling was busy - resulting in many unnecessary
task migrations.
Solution:
The new code improves the load balancer to recognize SMT cores with more
than one busy sibling and allows lower-priority CPUs to pull tasks, which
avoids superfluous migrations and lets lower-priority cores inspect all SMT
siblings for the busiest queue.
- Implement the 'runnable boosting' feature in the EAS balancer: consider CPU
contention in frequency, EAS max util & load-balance busiest CPU selection.
This improves CPU utilization for certain workloads, while leaves other key
workloads unchanged.
- Scheduler infrastructure improvements:
- Rewrite the scheduler topology setup code by consolidating it
into the build_sched_topology() helper function and building
it dynamically on the fly.
- Resolve the local_clock() vs. noinstr complications by rewriting
the code: provide separate sched_clock_noinstr() and
local_clock_noinstr() functions to be used in instrumentation code,
and make sure it is all instrumentation-safe.
- Fixes:
- Fix a kthread_park() race with wait_woken()
- Fix misc wait_task_inactive() bugs unearthed by the -rt merge:
- Fix UP PREEMPT bug by unifying the SMP and UP implementations.
- Fix task_struct::saved_state handling.

posix_timer_add() tries to allocate a posix timer ID by starting from the
cached ID which was stored by the last successful allocation.
This is done in a loop searching the ID space for a free slot one by
one. The loop has to terminate when the search wrapped around to the
starting point.
But that's racy vs. establishing the starting point. That is read out
lockless, which leads to the following problem:
CPU0 CPU1
posix_timer_add()
start = sig->posix_timer_id;
lock(hash_lock);
... posix_timer_add()
if (++sig->posix_timer_id < 0)
start = sig->posix_timer_id;
sig->posix_timer_id = 0;
So CPU1 can observe a negative start value, i.e. -1, and the loop break
never happens because the condition can never be true:
if (sig->posix_timer_id == start)
break;
While this is unlikely to ever turn into an endless loop as the ID space is
huge (INT_MAX), the racy read of the start value caught the attention of
KCSAN and Dmitry unearthed that incorrectness.
Rewrite it so that all id operations are under the hash lock.

itimer_delete() has a retry loop when the timer is concurrently expired. On

except for posix CPU timers which have HAVE_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK

In that case and on RT kernels the existing task could live lock when
preempting the task which does the timer delivery.
Replace spin_unlock() with an invocation of timer_wait_running() to handle
it the same way as the other retry loops in the posix timer code.

The tick period is aligned very early while the first clock_event_device is
registered. At that point the system runs in periodic mode and switches
later to one-shot mode if possible.
The next wake-up event is programmed based on the aligned value
(tick_next_period) but the delta value, that is used to program the
clock_event_device, is computed based on ktime_get().
With the subtracted offset, the device fires earlier than the exact time
frame. With a large enough offset the system programs the timer for the
next wake-up and the remaining time left is too small to make any boot
progress. The system hangs.
Move the alignment later to the setup of tick_sched timer. At this point
the system switches to oneshot mode and a high resolution clocksource is
available. At this point it is safe to align tick_next_period because
ktime_get() will now return accurate (not jiffies based) time.

With the intent to provide local_clock_noinstr(), a variant of
local_clock() that's safe to be called from noinstr code (with the
assumption that any such code will already be non-preemptible),
prepare for things by providing a noinstr sched_clock_noinstr() function.
Specifically, preempt_enable_*() calls out to schedule(), which upsets
noinstr validation efforts.
As such, pull out the preempt_{dis,en}able_notrace() requirements from
the sched_clock_read() implementations by explicitly providing it in
the sched_clock() function.
This further requires said sched_clock_read() functions to be noinstr
themselves, for ARCH_WANTS_NO_INSTR users. See the next few patches.

The read side of seqcount_latch consists of:
do {
seq = raw_read_seqcount_latch(&latch->seq);
...
} while (read_seqcount_latch_retry(&latch->seq, seq));
which is asymmetric in the raw_ department, and sure enough,
read_seqcount_latch_retry() includes (explicit) instrumentation where
raw_read_seqcount_latch() does not.
This inconsistency becomes a problem when trying to use it from
noinstr code. As such, fix it by renaming and re-implementing
raw_read_seqcount_latch_retry() without the instrumentation.
Specifically the instrumentation in question is kcsan_atomic_next(0)
in do___read_seqcount_retry(). Loosing this annotation is not a
problem because raw_read_seqcount_latch() does not pass through
kcsan_atomic_next(KCSAN_SEQLOCK_REGION_MAX).

This is required when switching from periodic broadcast mode to oneshot
broadcast mode to ensure that CPUs which are waiting for periodic
broadcast are woken up on the next tick.
But it is subtly broken, when an active broadcast device is replaced and
the system is already in oneshot (NOHZ/HIGHRES) mode. Victor observed
this and debugged the issue.
Then the OR of the periodic broadcast CPU mask is wrong as the periodic
cpumask bits are sticky after tick_broadcast_enable() set it for a CPU
unless explicitly cleared via tick_broadcast_disable().
That means that this sets all other CPUs which have tick broadcasting
enabled at that point unconditionally in the oneshot broadcast mask.
If the affected CPUs were already idle and had their bits set in the
oneshot broadcast mask then this does no harm. But for non idle CPUs
which were not set this corrupts their state.
On their next invocation of tick_broadcast_enable() they observe the bit
set, which indicates that the broadcast for the CPU is already set up.
As a consequence they fail to update the broadcast event even if their
earliest expiring timer is before the actually programmed broadcast
event.
If the programmed broadcast event is far in the future, then this can
cause stalls or trigger the hung task detector.
Avoid this by telling tick_broadcast_setup_oneshot() explicitly whether
this is the initial switch over from periodic to oneshot broadcast which
must take the periodic broadcast mask into account. In the case of
initialization of a replacement device this prevents that the broadcast
oneshot mask is modified.
There is a second problem with broadcast device replacement in this
function. The broadcast device is only armed when the previous state of
the device was periodic.
That is correct for the switch from periodic broadcast mode to oneshot
broadcast mode as the underlying broadcast device could operate in
oneshot state already due to lack of periodic state in hardware. In that
case it is already armed to expire at the next tick.
For the replacement case this is wrong as the device is in shutdown
state. That means that any already pending broadcast event will not be
armed.
This went unnoticed because any CPU which goes idle will observe that
the broadcast device has an expiry time of KTIME_MAX and therefore any
CPUs next timer event will be earlier and cause a reprogramming of the
broadcast device. But that does not guarantee that the events of the
CPUs which were already in idle are delivered on time.
Fix this by arming the newly installed device for an immediate event
which will reevaluate the per CPU expiry times and reprogram the
broadcast device accordingly. This is simpler than caching the last
expiry time in yet another place or saving it before the device exchange
and handing it down to the setup function. Replacement of broadcast
devices is not a frequent operation and usually happens once somewhere
late in the boot process.

Here is the large set of driver core changes for 6.4-rc1.
Once again, a busy development cycle, with lots of changes happening in
the driver core in the quest to be able to move "struct bus" and "struct
class" into read-only memory, a task now complete with these changes.
This will make the future rust interactions with the driver core more
"provably correct" as well as providing more obvious lifetime rules for
all busses and classes in the kernel.
The changes required for this did touch many individual classes and
busses as many callbacks were changed to take const * parameters
instead. All of these changes have been submitted to the various
subsystem maintainers, giving them plenty of time to review, and most of
them actually did so.
Other than those changes, included in here are a small set of other
things:
- kobject logging improvements
- cacheinfo improvements and updates
- obligatory fw_devlink updates and fixes
- documentation updates
- device property cleanups and const * changes
- firwmare loader dependency fixes.

- Improve the VDSO build time checks to cover all dynamic relocations
VDSO does not allow dynamic relcations, but the build time check is
incomplete and fragile.
It's based on architectures specifying the relocation types to search
for and does not handle R_*_NONE relocation entries correctly.
R_*_NONE relocations are injected by some GNU ld variants if they fail
to determine the exact .rel[a]/dyn_size to cover trailing zeros.
R_*_NONE relocations must be ignored by dynamic loaders, so they
should be ignored in the build time check too.
Remove the architecture specific relocation types to check for and
validate strictly that no other relocations than R_*_NONE end up
in the VSDO .so file.
- Prefer signal delivery to the current thread for
CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID based posix-timers
Such timers prefer to deliver the signal to the main thread of a
process even if the context in which the timer expires is the current
task. This has the downside that it might wake up an idle thread.
As there is no requirement or guarantee that the signal has to be
delivered to the main thread, avoid this by preferring the current
task if it is part of the thread group which shares sighand.
This not only avoids waking idle threads, it also distributes the
signal delivery in case of multiple timers firing in the context
of different threads close to each other better.
- Align the tick period properly (again)
For a long time the tick was starting at CLOCK_MONOTONIC zero, which
allowed users space applications to either align with the tick or to
place a periodic computation so that it does not interfere with the
tick. The alignement of the tick period was more by chance than by
intention as the tick is set up before a high resolution clocksource is
installed, i.e. timekeeping is still tick based and the tick period
advances from there.
The early enablement of sched_clock() broke this alignement as the time
accumulated by sched_clock() is taken into account when timekeeping is
initialized. So the base value now(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) is not longer a
multiple of tick periods, which breaks applications which relied on
that behaviour.
Cure this by aligning the tick starting point to the next multiple of
tick periods, i.e 1000ms/CONFIG_HZ.
- A set of NOHZ fixes and enhancements
- Cure the concurrent writer race for idle and IO sleeptime statistics
The statitic values which are exposed via /proc/stat are updated from
the CPU local idle exit and remotely by cpufreq, but that happens
without any form of serialization. As a consequence sleeptimes can be
accounted twice or worse.
Prevent this by restricting the accumulation writeback to the CPU
local idle exit and let the remote access compute the accumulated
value.
- Protect idle/iowait sleep time with a sequence count
Reading idle/iowait sleep time, e.g. from /proc/stat, can race with
idle exit updates. As a consequence the readout may result in random
and potentially going backwards values.
Protect this by a sequence count, which fixes the idle time
statistics issue, but cannot fix the iowait time problem because
iowait time accounting races with remote wake ups decrementing the
remote runqueues nr_iowait counter. The latter is impossible to fix,
so the only way to deal with that is to document it properly and to
remove the assertion in the selftest which triggers occasionally due
to that.
- Restructure struct tick_sched for better cache layout
- Some small cleanups and a better cache layout for struct tick_sched
- Implement the missing timer_wait_running() callback for POSIX CPU timers
For unknown reason the introduction of the timer_wait_running() callback
missed to fixup posix CPU timers, which went unnoticed for almost four
years.
While initially only targeted to prevent livelocks between a timer
deletion and the timer expiry function on PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels, it
turned out that fixing this for mainline is not as trivial as just
implementing a stub similar to the hrtimer/timer callbacks.
The reason is that for CONFIG_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK enabled systems
there is a livelock issue independent of RT.
CONFIG_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK=y moves the expiry of POSIX CPU timers
out from hard interrupt context to task work, which is handled before
returning to user space or to a VM. The expiry mechanism moves the
expired timers to a stack local list head with sighand lock held. Once
sighand is dropped the task can be preempted and a task which wants to
delete a timer will spin-wait until the expiry task is scheduled back
in. In the worst case this will end up in a livelock when the preempting
task and the expiry task are pinned on the same CPU.
The timer wheel has a timer_wait_running() mechanism for RT, which uses
a per CPU timer-base expiry lock which is held by the expiry code and the
task waiting for the timer function to complete blocks on that lock.
This does not work in the same way for posix CPU timers as there is no
timer base and expiry for process wide timers can run on any task
belonging to that process, but the concept of waiting on an expiry lock
can be used too in a slightly different way.
Add a per task mutex to struct posix_cputimers_work, let the expiry task
hold it accross the expiry function and let the deleting task which
waits for the expiry to complete block on the mutex.
In the non-contended case this results in an extra mutex_lock()/unlock()
pair on both sides.
This avoids spin-waiting on a task which is scheduled out, prevents the
livelock and cures the problem for RT and !RT systems.

For some unknown reason the introduction of the timer_wait_running callback
missed to fixup posix CPU timers, which went unnoticed for almost four years.
Marco reported recently that the WARN_ON() in timer_wait_running()
triggers with a posix CPU timer test case.
Posix CPU timers have two execution models for expiring timers depending on
CONFIG_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK:
1) If not enabled, the expiry happens in hard interrupt context so
spin waiting on the remote CPU is reasonably time bound.
Implement an empty stub function for that case.
2) If enabled, the expiry happens in task work before returning to user
space or guest mode. The expired timers are marked as firing and moved
from the timer queue to a local list head with sighand lock held. Once
the timers are moved, sighand lock is dropped and the expiry happens in
fully preemptible context. That means the expiring task can be scheduled
out, migrated, interrupted etc. So spin waiting on it is more than
suboptimal.
The timer wheel has a timer_wait_running() mechanism for RT, which uses
a per CPU timer-base expiry lock which is held by the expiry code and the
task waiting for the timer function to complete blocks on that lock.
This does not work in the same way for posix CPU timers as there is no
timer base and expiry for process wide timers can run on any task
belonging to that process, but the concept of waiting on an expiry lock
can be used too in a slightly different way:
- Add a mutex to struct posix_cputimers_work. This struct is per task
and used to schedule the expiry task work from the timer interrupt.
- Add a task_struct pointer to struct cpu_timer which is used to store
a the task which runs the expiry. That's filled in when the task
moves the expired timers to the local expiry list. That's not
affecting the size of the k_itimer union as there are bigger union
members already
- Let the task take the expiry mutex around the expiry function
- Let the waiter acquire a task reference with rcu_read_lock() held and
block on the expiry mutex
This avoids spin-waiting on a task which might not even be on a CPU and
works nicely for RT too.

The per-cpu iowait task counter is incremented locally upon sleeping.
But since the task can be woken to (and by) another CPU, the counter may
then be decremented remotely. This is the source of a race involving
readers VS writer of idle/iowait sleeptime.
The following scenario shows an example where a /proc/stat reader
observes a pending sleep time as IO whereas that pending sleep time
later eventually gets accounted as non-IO.
CPU 0 CPU 1 CPU 2
----- ----- ------
//io_schedule() TASK A
current->in_iowait = 1
rq(0)->nr_iowait++
//switch to idle
// READ /proc/stat
// See nr_iowait_cpu(0) == 1
return ts->iowait_sleeptime +
ktime_sub(ktime_get(), ts->idle_entrytime)
//try_to_wake_up(TASK A)
rq(0)->nr_iowait--
//idle exit
// See nr_iowait_cpu(0) == 0
ts->idle_sleeptime += ktime_sub(ktime_get(), ts->idle_entrytime)
As a result subsequent reads on /proc/stat may expose backward progress.
This is unfortunately hardly fixable. Just add a comment about that
condition.

updates because the state machine handling the stats is not atomic and
requires a coherent read batch.
As a result reading the sleep time may report irrelevant or backward
values.
Fix this with protecting the simple state machine within a seqcount.
This is expected to be cheap enough not to add measurable performance
impact on the idle path.
Note this only fixes reader VS writer condition partitially. A race
remains that involves remote updates of the CPU iowait task counter. It
can hardly be fixed.

The idle and IO sleeptime statistics appearing in /proc/stat can be
currently updated from two sites: locally on idle exit and remotely
by cpufreq. However there is no synchronization mechanism protecting
concurrent updates. It is therefore possible to account the sleeptime
twice, among all the other possible broken scenarios.
To prevent from breaking the sleeptime accounting source, restrict the
sleeptime updates to the local idle exit site. If there is a delta to
add since the last update, IO/Idle sleep time readers will now only
compute the delta without actually writing it back to the internal idle
statistic fields.
This fixes a writer VS writer race. Note there are still two known
reader VS writer races to handle. A subsequent patch will fix one.

With HIGHRES enabled tick_sched_timer() is programmed every jiffy to
expire the timer_list timers. This timer is programmed accurate in
respect to CLOCK_MONOTONIC so that 0 seconds and nanoseconds is the
first tick and the next one is 1000/CONFIG_HZ ms later. For HZ=250 it is
every 4 ms and so based on the current time the next tick can be
computed.
This accuracy broke since the commit mentioned below because the jiffy
based clocksource is initialized with higher accuracy in
read_persistent_wall_and_boot_offset(). This higher accuracy is
inherited during the setup in tick_setup_device(). The timer still fires
every 4ms with HZ=250 but timer is no longer aligned with
CLOCK_MONOTONIC with 0 as it origin but has an offset in the us/ns part
of the timestamp. The offset differs with every boot and makes it
impossible for user land to align with the tick.
Align the tick period with CLOCK_MONOTONIC ensuring that it is always a
multiple of 1000/CONFIG_HZ ms.

For CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL systems, the tick_do_timer_cpu cannot be offlined.
However, cpu_is_hotpluggable() still returns true for those CPUs. This causes
torture tests that do offlining to end up trying to offline this CPU causing
test failures. Such failure happens on all architectures.
Fix the repeated error messages thrown by this (even if the hotplug errors are
harmless) by asking the opinion of the nohz subsystem on whether the CPU can be
hotplugged.

The add_dev and remove_dev callbacks in struct class_interface currently
pass in a pointer back to the class_interface structure that is calling
them, but none of the callback implementations actually use this pointer
as it is pointless (the structure is known, the driver passed it in in
the first place if it is really needed again.)
So clean this up and just remove the pointer from the callbacks and fix
up all callback functions.

Core:
- Yet another round of improvements to make the clocksource watchdog
more robust:
- Relax the clocksource-watchdog skew criteria to match the NTP
criteria.
- Temporarily skip the watchdog when high memory latencies are
detected which can lead to false-positives.
- Provide an option to enable TSC skew detection even on systems
where TSC is marked as reliable.
Sigh!
- Initialize the restart block in the nanosleep syscalls to be directed
to the no restart function instead of doing a partial setup on entry.
This prevents an erroneous restart_syscall() invocation from
corrupting user space data. While such a situation is clearly a user
space bug, preventing this is a correctness issue and caters to the
least suprise principle.
- Ignore the hrtimer slack for realtime tasks in schedule_hrtimeout()
to align it with the nanosleep semantics.
Drivers:
- The obligatory new driver bindings for Mediatek, Rockchip and RISC-V
variants.
- Add support for the C3STOP misfeature to the RISC-V timer to handle
the case where the timer stops in deeper idle state.
- Set up a static key in the RISC-V timer correctly before first use.
- The usual small improvements and fixes all over the place

syzbot reported a RCU stall which is caused by setting up an alarmtimer
with a very small interval and ignoring the signal. The reproducer arms the
alarm timer with a relative expiry of 8ns and an interval of 9ns. Not a
problem per se, but that's an issue when the signal is ignored because then
the timer is immediately rearmed because there is no way to delay that
rearming to the signal delivery path. See posix_timer_fn() and commit
58229a1899 ("posix-timers: Prevent softirq starvation by small intervals
and SIG_IGN") for details.
The reproducer does not set SIG_IGN explicitely, but it sets up the timers
signal with SIGCONT. That has the same effect as explicitely setting
SIG_IGN for a signal as SIGCONT is ignored if there is no handler set and
the task is not ptraced.
The log clearly shows that:
[pid 5102] --- SIGCONT {si_signo=SIGCONT, si_code=SI_TIMER, si_timerid=0, si_overrun=316014, si_int=0, si_ptr=NULL} ---
It works because the tasks are traced and therefore the signal is queued so
the tracer can see it, which delays the restart of the timer to the signal
delivery path. But then the tracer is killed:
[pid 5087] kill(-5102, SIGKILL <unfinished ...>
...
./strace-static-x86_64: Process 5107 detached
and after it's gone the stall can be observed:

posix_timer_fn() prevents that by checking whether the interval for
timers which have the signal ignored is smaller than a jiffie and
artifically delay it by shifting the next expiry out by a jiffie. That's
accurate vs. the overrun accounting, but slightly inaccurate
vs. timer_gettimer(2).
The comment in that function says what needs to be done and there was a fix
available for the regular userspace induced SIG_IGN mechanism, but that did
not work due to the implicit ignore for SIGCONT and similar signals. This
needs to be worked on, but for now the only available workaround is to do
exactly what posix_timer_fn() does:
Increase the interval of self-rearming timers, which have their signal
ignored, to at least a jiffie.
Interestingly this has been fixed before via commit ff86bf0c65
("alarmtimer: Rate limit periodic intervals") already, but that fix got
lost in a later rework.

This pull request contains the following:
o Improvements to clocksource-watchdog console messages.
o Loosening of the clocksource-watchdog skew criteria to match
those of NTP (500 parts per million, relaxed from 400 parts
per million). If it is good enough for NTP, it is good enough
for the clocksource watchdog.
o Suspend clocksource-watchdog checking temporarily when high
memory latencies are detected. This avoids the false-positive
clock-skew events that have been seen on production systems
running memory-intensive workloads.
o On systems where the TSC is deemed trustworthy, use it as the
watchdog timesource, but only when specifically requested using
the tsc=watchdog kernel boot parameter. This permits clock-skew
events to be detected, but avoids forcing workloads to use the
slow HPET and ACPI PM timers. These last two timers are slow
enough to cause systems to be needlessly marked bad on the one
hand, and real skew does sometimes happen on production systems
running production workloads on the other. And sometimes it is
the fault of the TSC, or at least of the firmware that told the
kernel to program the TSC with the wrong frequency.
o Add a tsc=revalidate kernel boot parameter to allow the kernel
to diagnose cases where the TSC hardware works fine, but was told
by firmware to tick at the wrong frequency. Such cases are rare,
but they really have happened on production systems.

When calling debugfs_lookup() the result must have dput() called on it,
otherwise the memory will leak over time. To make things simpler, just
call debugfs_lookup_and_remove() instead which handles all of the logic at

__update_gt_cputime(). The x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns success in ZF
flag, so this change saves a compare after cmpxchg() (and related move
instruction in front of cmpxchg()).
Also, atomic64_try_cmpxchg() implicitly assigns old *ptr value to "old"
when cmpxchg() fails. There is no need to re-read the value in the loop.
No functional change intended.

While in theory the timer can be triggered before expires + delta, for the
cases of RT tasks they really have no business giving any lenience for
extra slack time, so override any passed value by the user and always use
zero for schedule_hrtimeout_range() calls. Furthermore, this is similar to
what the nanosleep(2) family already does with current->timer_slack_ns.

Bugs have been reported on 8 sockets x86 machines in which the TSC was
wrongly disabled when the system is under heavy workload.

[ 821.067990] clocksource: Switched to clocksource hpet
This can be reproduced by running memory intensive 'stream' tests,
or some of the stress-ng subcases such as 'ioport'.
The reason for these issues is the when system is under heavy load, the
read latency of the clocksources can be very high. Even lightweight TSC
reads can show high latencies, and latencies are much worse for external
clocksources such as HPET or the APIC PM timer. These latencies can
result in false-positive clocksource-unstable determinations.
These issues were initially reported by a customer running on a production
system, and this problem was reproduced on several generations of Xeon
servers, especially when running the stress-ng test. These Xeon servers
were not production systems, but they did have the latest steppings
and firmware.
Given that the clocksource watchdog is a continual diagnostic check with
frequency of twice a second, there is no need to rush it when the system
is under heavy load. Therefore, when high clocksource read latencies
are detected, suspend the watchdog timer for 5 minutes.

The nanosleep syscalls use the restart_block mechanism, with a quirk:
The `type` and `rmtp`/`compat_rmtp` fields are set up unconditionally on
syscall entry, while the rest of the restart_block is only set up in the
unlikely case that the syscall is actually interrupted by a signal (or
pseudo-signal) that doesn't have a signal handler.
If the restart_block was set up by a previous syscall (futex(...,
FUTEX_WAIT, ...) or poll()) and hasn't been invalidated somehow since then,
this will clobber some of the union fields used by futex_wait_restart() and
do_restart_poll().
If userspace afterwards wrongly calls the restart_syscall syscall,
futex_wait_restart()/do_restart_poll() will read struct fields that have
been clobbered.
This doesn't actually lead to anything particularly interesting because
none of the union fields contain trusted kernel data, and
futex(..., FUTEX_WAIT, ...) and poll() aren't syscalls where it makes much
sense to apply seccomp filters to their arguments.
So the current consequences are just of the "if userspace does bad stuff,
it can damage itself, and that's not a problem" flavor.
But still, it seems like a hazard for future developers, so invalidate the
restart_block when partly setting it up in the nanosleep syscalls.

When clocksource_watchdog() detects excessive clocksource skew compared
to the watchdog clocksource, it marks the clocksource under test as
unstable and prints several lines worth of message. But that message
is unclear to anyone unfamiliar with the code:
clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU2: Marking clocksource 'wdtest-ktime' as unstable because the skew is too large:
clocksource: 'kvm-clock' wd_nsec: 400744390 wd_now: 612625c2c wd_last: 5fa7f7c66 mask: ffffffffffffffff
clocksource: 'wdtest-ktime' cs_nsec: 600744034 cs_now: 173081397a292d4f cs_last: 17308139565a8ced mask: ffffffffffffffff
clocksource: 'kvm-clock' (not 'wdtest-ktime') is current clocksource.
Therefore, add the following line near the end of that message:
Clocksource 'wdtest-ktime' skewed 199999644 ns (199 ms) over watchdog 'kvm-clock' interval of 400744390 ns (400 ms)
This new line clearly indicates the amount of skew between the two
clocksources, along with the duration of the time interval over which
the skew occurred, both in nanoseconds and milliseconds.

Currently, MAX_SKEW_USEC is set to 100 microseconds, which has worked
reasonably well. However, NTP is willing to tolerate 500 microseconds
of skew per second, and a clocksource that is good enough for NTP should
be good enough for the clocksource watchdog. The watchdog's skew is
controlled by MAX_SKEW_USEC and the CLOCKSOURCE_WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW_US
Kconfig option. However, these values are doubled before being associated
with a clocksource's ->uncertainty_margin, and the ->uncertainty_margin
values of the pair of clocksource's being compared are summed before
checking against the skew.
Therefore, set both MAX_SKEW_USEC and the default for the
CLOCKSOURCE_WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW_US Kconfig option to 125 microseconds of
skew per second, resulting in 500 microseconds of skew per second in
the clocksource watchdog's skew comparison.

The "hpet" here is misleading the clocksource watchdog is really
doing repeated reads of "hpet" in order to check for unrelated delays.

Merge tag 'random-6.2-rc1-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/crng/random
Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
- Replace prandom_u32_max() and various open-coded variants of it,
there is now a new family of functions that uses fast rejection
sampling to choose properly uniformly random numbers within an
interval:
get_random_u32_below(ceil) - [0, ceil)
get_random_u32_above(floor) - (floor, U32_MAX]
get_random_u32_inclusive(floor, ceil) - [floor, ceil]
Coccinelle was used to convert all current users of
prandom_u32_max(), as well as many open-coded patterns, resulting in
improvements throughout the tree.
I'll have a "late" 6.1-rc1 pull for you that removes the now unused
prandom_u32_max() function, just in case any other trees add a new
use case of it that needs to converted. According to linux-next,
there may be two trivial cases of prandom_u32_max() reintroductions
that are fixable with a 's/.../.../'. So I'll have for you a final
conversion patch doing that alongside the removal patch during the
second week.
This is a treewide change that touches many files throughout.
- More consistent use of get_random_canary().
- Updates to comments, documentation, tests, headers, and
simplification in configuration.
- The arch_get_random*_early() abstraction was only used by arm64 and
wasn't entirely useful, so this has been replaced by code that works
in all relevant contexts.
- The kernel will use and manage random seeds in non-volatile EFI
variables, refreshing a variable with a fresh seed when the RNG is
initialized. The RNG GUID namespace is then hidden from efivarfs to
prevent accidental leakage.
These changes are split into random.c infrastructure code used in the
EFI subsystem, in this pull request, and related support inside of
EFISTUB, in Ard's EFI tree. These are co-dependent for full
functionality, but the order of merging doesn't matter.
- Part of the infrastructure added for the EFI support is also used for
an improvement to the way vsprintf initializes its siphash key,
replacing an sleep loop wart.
- The hardware RNG framework now always calls its correct random.c
input function, add_hwgenerator_randomness(), rather than sometimes
going through helpers better suited for other cases.
- The add_latent_entropy() function has long been called from the fork
handler, but is a no-op when the latent entropy gcc plugin isn't
used, which is fine for the purposes of latent entropy.
But it was missing out on the cycle counter that was also being mixed
in beside the latent entropy variable. So now, if the latent entropy
gcc plugin isn't enabled, add_latent_entropy() will expand to a call
to add_device_randomness(NULL, 0), which adds a cycle counter,
without the absent latent entropy variable.
- The RNG is now reseeded from a delayed worker, rather than on demand
when used. Always running from a worker allows it to make use of the
CPU RNG on platforms like S390x, whose instructions are too slow to
do so from interrupts. It also has the effect of adding in new inputs
more frequently with more regularity, amounting to a long term
transcript of random values. Plus, it helps a bit with the upcoming
vDSO implementation (which isn't yet ready for 6.2).
- The jitter entropy algorithm now tries to execute on many different
CPUs, round-robining, in hopes of hitting even more memory latencies
and other unpredictable effects. It also will mix in a cycle counter
when the entropy timer fires, in addition to being mixed in from the
main loop, to account more explicitly for fluctuations in that timer
firing. And the state it touches is now kept within the same cache
line, so that it's assured that the different execution contexts will
cause latencies.

Tearing down timers which have circular dependencies to other
functionality, e.g. workqueues, where the timer can schedule work and work
can arm timers, is not trivial.
In those cases it is desired to shutdown the timer in a way which prevents
rearming of the timer. The mechanism to do so is to set timer->function to
NULL and use this as an indicator for the timer arming functions to ignore
the (re)arm request.
Expose new interfaces for this: timer_shutdown_sync() and timer_shutdown().
timer_shutdown_sync() has the same functionality as timer_delete_sync()
plus the NULL-ification of the timer function.
timer_shutdown() has the same functionality as timer_delete() plus the
NULL-ification of the timer function.
In both cases the rearming of the timer is prevented by silently discarding
rearm attempts due to timer->function being NULL.

del_timer_sync() is assumed to be pointless on uniprocessor systems and can
be mapped to del_timer() because in theory del_timer() can never be invoked
while the timer callback function is executed.
This is not entirely true because del_timer() can be invoked from interrupt
context and therefore hit in the middle of a running timer callback.
Contrary to that del_timer_sync() is not allowed to be invoked from
interrupt context unless the affected timer is marked with TIMER_IRQSAFE.
del_timer_sync() has proper checks in place to detect such a situation.
Give up on the UP optimization and make del_timer_sync() unconditionally
available.

The timer code still has a few BUG_ON()s left which are crashing the kernel
in situations where it still can recover or simply refuse to take an
action.
Remove the one in the hotplug callback which checks for the CPU being
offline. If that happens then the whole hotplug machinery will explode in
colourful ways.
Replace the rest with WARN_ON_ONCE() and conditional returns where
appropriate.

del_singleshot_timer_sync() used to be an optimization for deleting timers
which are not rearmed from the timer callback function.
This optimization turned out to be broken and got mapped to
del_timer_sync() about 17 years ago.
Get rid of the undocumented indirection and use del_timer_sync() directly.

Rewrite the core freezer to behave better wrt thawing and be simpler
in general.
By replacing PF_FROZEN with TASK_FROZEN, a special block state, it is
ensured frozen tasks stay frozen until thawed and don't randomly wake
up early, as is currently possible.
As such, it does away with PF_FROZEN and PF_FREEZER_SKIP, freeing up
two PF_flags (yay!).
Specifically; the current scheme works a little like:
freezer_do_not_count();
schedule();
freezer_count();
And either the task is blocked, or it lands in try_to_freezer()
through freezer_count(). Now, when it is blocked, the freezer
considers it frozen and continues.
However, on thawing, once pm_freezing is cleared, freezer_count()
stops working, and any random/spurious wakeup will let a task run
before its time.
That is, thawing tries to thaw things in explicit order; kernel
threads and workqueues before doing bringing SMP back before userspace
etc.. However due to the above mentioned races it is entirely possible
for userspace tasks to thaw (by accident) before SMP is back.
This can be a fatal problem in asymmetric ISA architectures (eg ARMv9)
where the userspace task requires a special CPU to run.
As said; replace this with a special task state TASK_FROZEN and add
the following state transitions:
TASK_FREEZABLE -> TASK_FROZEN
__TASK_STOPPED -> TASK_FROZEN
__TASK_TRACED -> TASK_FROZEN
The new TASK_FREEZABLE can be set on any state part of TASK_NORMAL
(IOW. TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE) -- any such state
is already required to deal with spurious wakeups and the freezer
causes one such when thawing the task (since the original state is
lost).
The special __TASK_{STOPPED,TRACED} states *can* be restored since
their canonical state is in ->jobctl.
With this, frozen tasks need an explicit TASK_FROZEN wakeup and are
free of undue (early / spurious) wakeups.

In ns_to_kernel_old_timeval() definition, the function argument is defined
with const identifier in kernel/time/time.c, but the prototype in
include/linux/time32.h looks different.
- The function is defined in kernel/time/time.c as below:
struct __kernel_old_timeval ns_to_kernel_old_timeval(const s64 nsec)
- The function is decalared in include/linux/time32.h as below:
extern struct __kernel_old_timeval ns_to_kernel_old_timeval(s64 nsec);
Because the variable of arithmethic types isn't modified in the calling scope,
there's no need to mark arguments as const, which was already mentioned during
review (Link[1) of the original patch.
Likewise remove the "const" keyword in both definition and declaration of
ns_to_timespec64() as requested by Arnd (Link[2]).

be offloaded at boot time, regardless of kernel boot parameters.

rcu-tasks.2022.06.21a: Tasks RCU updates, perhaps most notably reducing
the CPU overhead of RCU tasks trace grace periods by more than
a factor of two on a system with 15,000 tasks. The reduction
is expected to increase with the number of tasks, so it seems
reasonable to hypothesize that a system with 150,000 tasks might
see a 20-fold reduction in CPU overhead.

Using msleep() is problematic because it's compared against
ratelimiter.c's ktime_get_coarse_boottime_ns(), which means on systems
with slow jiffies (such as UML's forced HZ=100), the result is
inaccurate. So switch to using schedule_hrtimeout().
However, hrtimer gives us access only to the traditional posix timers,
and none of the _COARSE variants. So now, rather than being too
imprecise like jiffies, it's too precise.
One solution would be to give it a large "range" value, but this will
still fire early on a loaded system. A better solution is to align the
timeout to the actual coarse timer, and then round up to the nearest
tick, plus change.
So add the timeout to the current coarse time, and then
schedule_hrtimer() until the absolute computed time.
This should hopefully reduce flakes in CI as well. Note that we keep the
retry loop in case the entire function is running behind, because the
test could still be scheduled out, by either the kernel or by the
hypervisor's kernel, in which case restarting the test and hoping to not
be scheduled out still helps.

The rng's random_init() function contributes the real time to the rng at
boot time, so that events can at least start in relation to something
particular in the real world. But this clock might not yet be set that
point in boot, so nothing is contributed. In addition, the relation
between minor clock changes from, say, NTP, and the cycle counter is
potentially useful entropic data.
This commit addresses this by mixing in a time stamp on calls to
settimeofday and adjtimex. No entropy is credited in doing so, so it
doesn't make initialization faster, but it is still useful input to
have.

The RCU dynticks counter is going to be merged into the context tracking
subsystem. Start with moving the idle extended quiescent states
entrypoints to context tracking. For now those are dumb redirections to
existing RCU calls.

context_tracking_cpu_set() is called in order to tell a CPU to track
user/kernel transitions. Since context tracking is going to expand in
to also track transitions from/to idle/IRQ/NMIs, the scope
of this function name becomes too broad and needs to be made more
specific. Also shorten the prefix to align with the new namespace.

EXPORT_SYMBOL and __init is a bad combination because the .init.text
section is freed up after the initialization. Hence, modules cannot
use symbols annotated __init. The access to a freed symbol may end up
with kernel panic.
modpost used to detect it, but it had been broken for a decade.
Commit 28438794ab ("modpost: fix section mismatch check for exported
init/exit sections") fixed it so modpost started to warn it again, then
this showed up:
MODPOST vmlinux.symvers
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(___ksymtab_gpl+tick_nohz_full_setup+0x0): Section mismatch in reference from the variable __ksymtab_tick_nohz_full_setup to the function .init.text:tick_nohz_full_setup()
The symbol tick_nohz_full_setup is exported and annotated __init
Fix this by removing the __init annotation of tick_nohz_full_setup or drop the export.
Drop the export because tick_nohz_full_setup() is only called from the
built-in code in kernel/sched/isolation.c.

of Peter Zijlstra was encountering with ptrace in his freezer rewrite
I identified some cleanups to ptrace_stop that make sense on their own
and move make resolving the other problems much simpler.
The biggest issue is the habbit of the ptrace code to change task->__state
from the tracer to suppress TASK_WAKEKILL from waking up the tracee. No
other code in the kernel does that and it is straight forward to update
signal_wake_up and friends to make that unnecessary.
Peter's task freezer sets frozen tasks to a new state TASK_FROZEN and
then it stores them by calling "wake_up_state(t, TASK_FROZEN)" relying
on the fact that all stopped states except the special stop states can
tolerate spurious wake up and recover their state.
The state of stopped and traced tasked is changed to be stored in
task->jobctl as well as in task->__state. This makes it possible for
the freezer to recover tasks in these special states, as well as
serving as a general cleanup. With a little more work in that
direction I believe TASK_STOPPED can learn to tolerate spurious wake
ups and become an ordinary stop state.
The TASK_TRACED state has to remain a special state as the registers for
a process are only reliably available when the process is stopped in
the scheduler. Fundamentally ptrace needs acess to the saved
register values of a task.
There are bunch of semi-random ptrace related cleanups that were found
while looking at these issues.
One cleanup that deserves to be called out is from commit 57b6de08b5
("ptrace: Admit ptrace_stop can generate spuriuos SIGTRAPs"). This
makes a change that is technically user space visible, in the handling
of what happens to a tracee when a tracer dies unexpectedly.
According to our testing and our understanding of userspace nothing
cares that spurious SIGTRAPs can be generated in that case.

Merge tag 'random-5.19-rc1-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/crng/random
Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
"These updates continue to refine the work began in 5.17 and 5.18 of
modernizing the RNG's crypto and streamlining and documenting its
code.
New for 5.19, the updates aim to improve entropy collection methods
and make some initial decisions regarding the "premature next" problem
and our threat model. The cloc utility now reports that random.c is
931 lines of code and 466 lines of comments, not that basic metrics
like that mean all that much, but at the very least it tells you that
this is very much a manageable driver now.
Here's a summary of the various updates:
- The random_get_entropy() function now always returns something at
least minimally useful. This is the primary entropy source in most
collectors, which in the best case expands to something like RDTSC,
but prior to this change, in the worst case it would just return 0,
contributing nothing. For 5.19, additional architectures are wired
up, and architectures that are entirely missing a cycle counter now
have a generic fallback path, which uses the highest resolution
clock available from the timekeeping subsystem.
Some of those clocks can actually be quite good, despite the CPU
not having a cycle counter of its own, and going off-core for a
stamp is generally thought to increase jitter, something positive
from the perspective of entropy gathering. Done very early on in
the development cycle, this has been sitting in next getting some
testing for a while now and has relevant acks from the archs, so it
should be pretty well tested and fine, but is nonetheless the thing
I'll be keeping my eye on most closely.
- Of particular note with the random_get_entropy() improvements is
MIPS, which, on CPUs that lack the c0 count register, will now
combine the high-speed but short-cycle c0 random register with the
lower-speed but long-cycle generic fallback path.
- With random_get_entropy() now always returning something useful,
the interrupt handler now collects entropy in a consistent
construction.
- Rather than comparing two samples of random_get_entropy() for the
jitter dance, the algorithm now tests many samples, and uses the
amount of differing ones to determine whether or not jitter entropy
is usable and how laborious it must be. The problem with comparing
only two samples was that if the cycle counter was extremely slow,
but just so happened to be on the cusp of a change, the slowness
wouldn't be detected. Taking many samples fixes that to some
degree.
This, combined with the other improvements to random_get_entropy(),
should make future unification of /dev/random and /dev/urandom
maybe more possible. At the very least, were we to attempt it again
today (we're not), it wouldn't break any of Guenter's test rigs
that broke when we tried it with 5.18. So, not today, but perhaps
down the road, that's something we can revisit.
- We attempt to reseed the RNG immediately upon waking up from system
suspend or hibernation, making use of the various timestamps about
suspend time and such available, as well as the usual inputs such
as RDRAND when available.
- Batched randomness now falls back to ordinary randomness before the
RNG is initialized. This provides more consistent guarantees to the
types of random numbers being returned by the various accessors.
- The "pre-init injection" code is now gone for good. I suspect you
in particular will be happy to read that, as I recall you
expressing your distaste for it a few months ago. Instead, to avoid
a "premature first" issue, while still allowing for maximal amount
of entropy availability during system boot, the first 128 bits of
estimated entropy are used immediately as it arrives, with the next
128 bits being buffered. And, as before, after the RNG has been
fully initialized, it winds up reseeding anyway a few seconds later
in most cases. This resulted in a pretty big simplification of the
initialization code and let us remove various ad-hoc mechanisms
like the ugly crng_pre_init_inject().
- The RNG no longer pretends to handle the "premature next" security
model, something that various academics and other RNG designs have
tried to care about in the past. After an interesting mailing list
thread, these issues are thought to be a) mainly academic and not
practical at all, and b) actively harming the real security of the
RNG by delaying new entropy additions after a potential compromise,
making a potentially bad situation even worse. As well, in the
first place, our RNG never even properly handled the premature next
issue, so removing an incomplete solution to a fake problem was
particularly nice.
This allowed for numerous other simplifications in the code, which
is a lot cleaner as a consequence. If you didn't see it before,
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/YmlMGx6+uigkGiZ0@zx2c4.com/ may be a
thread worth skimming through.
- While the interrupt handler received a separate code path years ago
that avoids locks by using per-cpu data structures and a faster
mixing algorithm, in order to reduce interrupt latency, input and
disk events that are triggered in hardirq handlers were still
hitting locks and more expensive algorithms. Those are now
redirected to use the faster per-cpu data structures.
- Rather than having the fake-crypto almost-siphash-based random32
implementation be used right and left, and in many places where
cryptographically secure randomness is desirable, the batched
entropy code is now fast enough to replace that.
- As usual, numerous code quality and documentation cleanups. For
example, the initialization state machine now uses enum symbolic
constants instead of just hard coding numbers everywhere.
- Since the RNG initializes once, and then is always initialized
thereafter, a pretty heavy amount of code used during that
initialization is never used again. It is now completely cordoned
off using static branches and it winds up in the .text.unlikely
section so that it doesn't reduce cache compactness after the RNG
is ready.
- A variety of functions meant for waiting on the RNG to be
initialized were only used by vsprintf, and in not a particularly
optimal way. Replacing that usage with a more ordinary setup made
it possible to remove those functions.
- A cleanup of how we warn userspace about the use of uninitialized
/dev/urandom and uninitialized get_random_bytes() usage.
Interestingly, with the change you merged for 5.18 that attempts to
use jitter (but does not block if it can't), the majority of users
should never see those warnings for /dev/urandom at all now, and
the one for in-kernel usage is mainly a debug thing.
- The file_operations struct for /dev/[u]random now implements
.read_iter and .write_iter instead of .read and .write, allowing it
to also implement .splice_read and .splice_write, which makes
splice(2) work again after it was broken here (and in many other
places in the tree) during the set_fs() removal. This was a bit of
a last minute arrival from Jens that hasn't had as much time to
bake, so I'll be keeping my eye on this as well, but it seems
fairly ordinary. Unfortunately, read_iter() is around 3% slower
than read() in my tests, which I'm not thrilled about. But Jens and
Al, spurred by this observation, seem to be making progress in
removing the bottlenecks on the iter paths in the VFS layer in
general, which should remove the performance gap for all drivers.
- Assorted other bug fixes, cleanups, and optimizations.
- A small SipHash cleanup"

random32.c has two random number generators in it: one that is meant to
be used deterministically, with some predefined seed, and one that does
the same exact thing as random.c, except does it poorly. The first one
has some use cases. The second one no longer does and can be replaced
with calls to random.c's proper random number generator.
The relatively recent siphash-based bad random32.c code was added in
response to concerns that the prior random32.c was too deterministic.
Out of fears that random.c was (at the time) too slow, this code was
anonymously contributed. Then out of that emerged a kind of shadow
entropy gathering system, with its own tentacles throughout various net
code, added willy nilly.
Stop👏making👏bespoke👏random👏number👏generators👏.
Fortunately, recent advances in random.c mean that we can stop playing
with this sketchiness, and just use get_random_u32(), which is now fast
enough. In micro benchmarks using RDPMC, I'm seeing the same median
cycle count between the two functions, with the mean being _slightly_
higher due to batches refilling (which we can optimize further need be).
However, when doing *real* benchmarks of the net functions that actually
use these random numbers, the mean cycles actually *decreased* slightly
(with the median still staying the same), likely because the additional
prandom code means icache misses and complexity, whereas random.c is
generally already being used by something else nearby.
The biggest benefit of this is that there are many users of prandom who
probably should be using cryptographically secure random numbers. This
makes all of those accidental cases become secure by just flipping a
switch. Later on, we can do a tree-wide cleanup to remove the static
inline wrapper functions that this commit adds.
There are also some low-ish hanging fruits for making this even faster
in the future: a get_random_u16() function for use in the networking
stack will give a 2x performance boost there, using SIMD for ChaCha20
will let us compute 4 or 8 or 16 blocks of output in parallel, instead
of just one, giving us large buffers for cheap, and introducing a
get_random_*_bh() function that assumes irqs are already disabled will
shave off a few cycles for ordinary calls. These are things we can chip
away at down the road.

With debugobjects enabled the timer hint for freeing of active timers
embedded inside delayed works is always the same, i.e. the hint is
delayed_work_timer_fn, even though the function the delayed work is going
to run can be wildly different depending on what work was queued. Enabling
workqueue debugobjects doesn't help either because the delayed work isn't
considered active until it is actually queued to run on a workqueue. If the
work is freed while the timer is pending the work isn't considered active
so there is no information from workqueue debugobjects.
Special case delayed works in the timer debugobjects hint logic so that the
delayed work function is returned instead of the delayed_work_timer_fn.
This will help to understand which delayed work was pending that got
freed.
Apply the same treatment for kthread_delayed_work because it follows the
same pattern.

The addition of random_get_entropy_fallback() provides access to
whichever time source has the highest frequency, which is useful for
gathering entropy on platforms without available cycle counters. It's
not necessarily as good as being able to quickly access a cycle counter
that the CPU has, but it's still something, even when it falls back to
being jiffies-based.
In the event that a given arch does not define get_cycles(), falling
back to the get_cycles() default implementation that returns 0 is really
not the best we can do. Instead, at least calling
random_get_entropy_fallback() would be preferable, because that always
needs to return _something_, even falling back to jiffies eventually.
It's not as though random_get_entropy_fallback() is super high precision
or guaranteed to be entropic, but basically anything that's not zero all
the time is better than returning zero all the time.
Finally, since random_get_entropy_fallback() is used during extremely
early boot when randomizing freelists in mm_init(), it can be called
before timekeeping has been initialized. In that case there really is
nothing we can do; jiffies hasn't even started ticking yet. So just give
up and return 0.

When tick_nohz_stop_tick() stops the tick and high resolution timers are
disabled, then the clock event device is not put into ONESHOT_STOPPED
mode. This can lead to spurious timer interrupts with some clock event
device drivers that don't shut down entirely after firing.
Eliminate these by putting the device into ONESHOT_STOPPED mode at points
where it is not being reprogrammed. When there are no timers active, then
tick_program_event() with KTIME_MAX can be used to stop the device. When
there is a timer active, the device can be stopped at the next tick (any
new timer added by timers will reprogram the tick).

Merge tag 'tai-for-tracing' into timers/core
Pull in the NMI safe TAI accessor which was provided for the tracing tree
to prepare for further changes in this area.
Introduce fast/NMI safe accessor to clock tai for tracing. The Linux kernel
tracing infrastructure has support for using different clocks to generate
timestamps for trace events. Especially in TSN networks it's useful to have TAI
as trace clock, because the application scheduling is done in accordance to the
network time, which is based on TAI. With a tai trace_clock in place, it becomes
very convenient to correlate network activity with Linux kernel application
traces.
Use the same implementation as ktime_get_boot_fast_ns() does by reading the
monotonic time and adding the TAI offset. The same limitations as for the fast
boot implementation apply. The TAI offset may change at run time e.g., by
setting the time or using adjtimex() with an offset. However, these kind of
offset changes are rare events. Nevertheless, the user has to be aware and deal
with it in post processing.
An alternative approach would be to use the same implementation as
ktime_get_real_fast_ns() does. However, this requires to add an additional u64
member to the tk_read_base struct. This struct together with a seqcount is
designed to fit into a single cache line on 64 bit architectures. Adding a new
member would violate this constraint.

bringup in HOTPLUG_CPU and is accidently true and no timer is queued in the
meantime, the loop through the wheel to find __next_timer_interrupt() might
be done for nothing.
Therefore initialize base::next_expiry_recalc to false in
timers_prepare_cpu().

When the timer base is empty, base::next_expiry is set to base::clk +
NEXT_TIMER_MAX_DELTA and base::next_expiry_recalc is false. When no timer
is queued until jiffies reaches base::next_expiry value, the warning for
not finding any expired timer and base::next_expiry_recalc is false in
__run_timers() triggers.
To prevent triggering the warning in this valid scenario
base::timers_pending needs to be added to the warning condition.

This set of changes removes tracehook.h, moves modification of all of
the ptrace fields inside of siglock to remove races, adds a missing
permission check to ptrace.c
The removal of tracehook.h is quite significant as it has been a major
source of confusion in recent years. Much of that confusion was
around task_work and TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL (which I have now decoupled
making the semantics clearer).
For people who don't know tracehook.h is a vestiage of an attempt to
implement uprobes like functionality that was never fully merged, and
was later superseeded by uprobes when uprobes was merged. For many
years now we have been removing what tracehook functionaly a little
bit at a time. To the point where now anything left in tracehook.h is
some weird strange thing that is difficult to understand.

The tasklist_lock popped up as a scalability bottleneck on some testing
workloads. The readlocks in do_prlimit and set/getpriority are not
necessary in all cases.
Based on a cycles profile, it looked like ~87% of the time was spent in
the kernel, ~42% of which was just trying to get *some* spinlock
(queued_spin_lock_slowpath, not necessarily the tasklist_lock).
The big offenders (with rough percentages in cycles of the overall trace):
- do_wait 11%
- setpriority 8% (this patchset)
- kill 8%
- do_exit 5%
- clone 3%
- prlimit64 2% (this patchset)
- getrlimit 1% (this patchset)
I can't easily test this patchset on the original workload for various
reasons. Instead, I used the microbenchmark below to at least verify
there was some improvement. This patchset had a 28% speedup (12% from
baseline to set/getprio, then another 14% for prlimit).
One interesting thing is that my libc's getrlimit() was calling
prlimit64, so hoisting the read_lock(tasklist_lock) into sys_prlimit64
had no effect - it essentially optimized the older syscalls only. I
didn't do that in this patchset, but figured I'd mention it since it was
an option from the previous patch's discussion.

- update_rlimit_cpu still returns 0 or -ESRCH, even though we don't care

Unnecessarily grabbing the tasklist_lock can be a scalability bottleneck
for workloads that also must grab the tasklist_lock for waiting,
killing, and cloning.
The tasklist_lock was grabbed to protect tsk->sighand from disappearing
(becoming NULL). tsk->signal was already protected by holding a
reference to tsk.
update_rlimit_cpu() assumed tsk->sighand != NULL. With this commit, it
attempts to lock_task_sighand(). However, this means that
update_rlimit_cpu() can fail. This only happens when a task is exiting.
Note that during exec, sighand may *change*, but it will not be NULL.
Prior to this commit, the do_prlimit() ensured that update_rlimit_cpu()
would not fail by read locking the tasklist_lock and checking tsk->sighand
!= NULL.
If update_rlimit_cpu() fails, there may be other tasks that are not
exiting that share tsk->signal. However, the group_leader is the last
task to be released, so if we cannot update_rlimit_cpu(group_leader),
then the entire process is exiting.
The only other caller of update_rlimit_cpu() is
selinux_bprm_committing_creds(). It has tsk == current, so
update_rlimit_cpu() cannot fail (current->sighand cannot disappear
until current exits).
This change resulted in a 14% speedup on a microbenchmark where parents
kill and wait on their children, and children getpriority, setpriority,
and getrlimit.

RCU_SOFTIRQ used to be special in that it could be raised on purpose
within the idle path to prevent from stopping the tick. Some code still
prevents from unnecessary warnings related to this specific behaviour
while entering in dynticks-idle mode.
However the nohz layout has changed quite a bit in ten years, and the
removal of CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ has been the final straw to this
safe-conduct. Now the RCU_SOFTIRQ vector is expected to be raised from
sane places.
A remaining corner case is admitted though when the vector is invoked
in fragile hotplug path.

On some rare cases, the timekeeper CPU may be delaying its jiffies
update duty for a while. Known causes include:
* The timekeeper is waiting on stop_machine in a MULTI_STOP_DISABLE_IRQ
or MULTI_STOP_RUN state. Disabled interrupts prevent from timekeeping
updates while waiting for the target CPU to complete its
stop_machine() callback.
* The timekeeper vcpu has VMEXIT'ed for a long while due to some overload
on the host.
Detect and fix these situations with emergency timekeeping catchups.

A watchdog maximum skew of 100us may still be too small for
some systems or archs. It may also be too small when some kernel
debug config options are enabled. So add a new Kconfig option
CLOCKSOURCE_WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW_US to allow kernel builders to have more
control on the threshold for marking clocksource as unstable.

cpumask_first() is a more effective analogue of 'next' version if n == -1
(which means start == 0). This patch replaces 'next' with 'first' where
things look trivial.
There's no cpumask_first_zero() function, so create it.

- Avoid accidental unstable marking of clocksources by rejecting
clocksource measurements where the source of the skew is the delay
reading reference clocksource itself. This change avoids many of the
current false positives caused by epic cache-thrashing workloads.
- Reduce the default clocksource_watchdog() retries to 2, thus offsetting
the increased overhead due to #1 above rereading the reference
clocksource.

Even after commit e1d7ba8735 ("time: Always make sure wall_to_monotonic
isn't positive") it is still possible to make wall_to_monotonic positive
by running the following code:
int main(void)
{
struct timespec time;
clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &time);
time.tv_nsec = 0;
clock_settime(CLOCK_REALTIME, &time);
return 0;
}
The reason is that the second parameter of timespec64_compare(), ts_delta,
may be unnormalized because the delta is calculated with an open coded
substraction which causes the comparison of tv_sec to yield the wrong
result:
wall_to_monotonic = { .tv_sec = -10, .tv_nsec = 900000000 }
ts_delta = { .tv_sec = -9, .tv_nsec = -900000000 }
That makes timespec64_compare() claim that wall_to_monotonic < ts_delta,
but actually the result should be wall_to_monotonic > ts_delta.
After normalization, the result of timespec64_compare() is correct because
the tv_sec comparison is not longer misleading:
wall_to_monotonic = { .tv_sec = -10, .tv_nsec = 900000000 }
ts_delta = { .tv_sec = -10, .tv_nsec = 100000000 }
Use timespec64_sub() to ensure that ts_delta is normalized, which fixes the
issue.

Patch series "mm/damon: Fix fake /proc/loadavg reports", v3.
This patchset fixes DAMON's fake load report issue. The first patch
makes yet another variant of usleep_range() for this fix, and the second
patch fixes the issue of DAMON by making it using the newly introduced
function.
This patch (of 2):
Some kernel threads such as DAMON could need to repeatedly sleep in
micro seconds level. Because usleep_range() sleeps in uninterruptible
state, however, such threads would make /proc/loadavg reports fake load.
To help such cases, this commit implements a variant of usleep_range()
called usleep_idle_range(). It is same to usleep_range() but sets the
state of the current task as TASK_IDLE while sleeping.

When at least one CPU runs in nohz_full mode, a dedicated timekeeper CPU
is guaranteed to stay online and to never stop its tick.
Meanwhile on some rare case, the dedicated timekeeper may be running
with interrupts disabled for a while, such as in stop_machine.
If jiffies stop being updated, a nohz_full CPU may end up endlessly
programming the next tick in the past, taking the last jiffies update
monotonic timestamp as a stale base, resulting in an tick storm.
Here is a scenario where it matters:
0) CPU 0 is the timekeeper and CPU 1 a nohz_full CPU.
1) A stop machine callback is queued to execute somewhere.
2) CPU 0 reaches MULTI_STOP_DISABLE_IRQ while CPU 1 is still in
MULTI_STOP_PREPARE. Hence CPU 0 can't do its timekeeping duty. CPU 1
can still take IRQs.
3) CPU 1 receives an IRQ which queues a timer callback one jiffy forward.
4) On IRQ exit, CPU 1 schedules the tick one jiffy forward, taking
last_jiffies_update as a base. But last_jiffies_update hasn't been
updated for 2 jiffies since the timekeeper has interrupts disabled.
5) clockevents_program_event(), which relies on ktime_get(), observes
that the expiration is in the past and therefore programs the min
delta event on the clock.
6) The tick fires immediately, goto 3)
7) Tick storm, the nohz_full CPU is drown and takes ages to reach
MULTI_STOP_DISABLE_IRQ, which is the only way out of this situation.
Solve this with unconditionally updating jiffies if the value is stale
on nohz_full IRQ entry. IRQs and other disturbances are expected to be
rare enough on nohz_full for the unconditional call to ktime_get() to
actually matter.

With the previous patch, there is an extra watchdog read in each retry.
Now the total number of clocksource reads is increased to 4 per iteration.
In order to avoid increasing the clock skew check overhead, the default
maximum number of retries is reduced from 3 to 2 to maintain the same 12
clocksource reads in the worst case.

Since commit db3a34e174 ("clocksource: Retry clock read if long delays
detected") and commit 2e27e793e2 ("clocksource: Reduce clocksource-skew
threshold"), it is found that tsc clocksource fallback to hpet can
sometimes happen on both Intel and AMD systems especially when they are
running stressful benchmarking workloads. Of the 23 systems tested with
a v5.14 kernel, 10 of them have switched to hpet clock source during
the test run.
The result of falling back to hpet is a drastic reduction of performance
when running benchmarks. For example, the fio performance tests can
drop up to 70% whereas the iperf3 performance can drop up to 80%.
4 hpet fallbacks happened during bootup. They were:
[ 8.749399] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU13: hpet read-back delay of 263750ns, attempt 4, marking unstable
[ 12.044610] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU19: hpet read-back delay of 186166ns, attempt 4, marking unstable
[ 17.336941] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU28: hpet read-back delay of 182291ns, attempt 4, marking unstable
[ 17.518565] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU34: hpet read-back delay of 252196ns, attempt 4, marking unstable
Other fallbacks happen when the systems were running stressful
benchmarks. For example:
[ 2685.867873] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU117: hpet read-back delay of 57269ns, attempt 4, marking unstable
[46215.471228] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU8: hpet read-back delay of 61460ns, attempt 4, marking unstable
Commit 2e27e793e2 ("clocksource: Reduce clocksource-skew threshold"),
changed the skew margin from 100us to 50us. I think this is too small
and can easily be exceeded when running some stressful workloads on a
thermally stressed system. So it is switched back to 100us.
Even a maximum skew margin of 100us may be too small in for some systems
when booting up especially if those systems are under thermal stress. To
eliminate the case that the large skew is due to the system being too
busy slowing down the reading of both the watchdog and the clocksource,
an extra consecutive read of watchdog clock is being done to check this.
The consecutive watchdog read delay is compared against
WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW/2. If the delay exceeds the limit, we assume that
the system is just too busy. A warning will be printed to the console
and the clock skew check is skipped for this round.

copy_process currently copies task_struct.posix_cputimers_work as-is. If a
timer interrupt arrives while handling clone and before dup_task_struct
completes then the child task will have:
1. posix_cputimers_work.scheduled = true
2. posix_cputimers_work.work queued.
copy_process clears task_struct.task_works, so (2) will have no effect and
posix_cpu_timers_work will never run (not to mention it doesn't make sense
for two tasks to share a common linked list).
Since posix_cpu_timers_work never runs, posix_cputimers_work.scheduled is
never cleared. Since scheduled is set, future timer interrupts will skip
scheduling work, with the ultimate result that the task will never receive
timer expirations.
Together, the complete flow is:
1. Task 1 calls clone(), enters kernel.
2. Timer interrupt fires, schedules task work on Task 1.
2a. task_struct.posix_cputimers_work.scheduled = true
2b. task_struct.posix_cputimers_work.work added to
task_struct.task_works.
3. dup_task_struct() copies Task 1 to Task 2.
4. copy_process() clears task_struct.task_works for Task 2.
5. Future timer interrupts on Task 2 see
task_struct.posix_cputimers_work.scheduled = true and skip scheduling
work.
Fix this by explicitly clearing contents of task_struct.posix_cputimers_work
in copy_process(). This was never meant to be shared or inherited across
tasks in the first place.

Resetting/stopping an itimer eventually leads to it being reprogrammed
with an actual "0" value. As a result the itimer expires on the next
tick, triggering an unexpected signal.
To fix this, make sure that
struct signal_struct::it[CPUCLOCK_PROF/VIRT]::expires is set to 0 when
setitimer() passes a 0 it_value, indicating that the timer must stop.

A program may create multiple interval timers using timer_create(). For
each timer the kernel preallocates a "queued real-time signal",
Consequently, the number of timers is limited by the RLIMIT_SIGPENDING
resource limit. The allocated object is quite small, ~250 bytes, but even
the default signal limits allow to consume up to 100 megabytes per user.
It makes sense to account for them to limit the host's memory consumption
from inside the memcg-limited container.

The clocksource watchdog test sets a local JIFFIES_SHIFT macro and assumes
that HZ is >= 100. For smaller HZ values this shift value is too large and
causes undefined behaviour.
Move the HZ-based definitions of JIFFIES_SHIFT from kernel/time/jiffies.c
to kernel/time/tick-internal.h so the clocksource watchdog test can utilize
them, which makes it work correctly with all HZ values.

Since the recent consoliation of reprogramming functions,
hrtimer_force_reprogram() is affected by a check whether the new expiry
time is past the current expiry time.
This breaks the NOHZ logic as that relies on the fact that the tick hrtimer
is moved into the future. That means cpu_base->expires_next becomes stale
and subsequent reprogramming attempts fail as well until the situation is
cleaned up by an hrtimer interrupts.
For some yet unknown reason this leads to a complete stall, so for now
partially revert the offending commit to a known working state. The root
cause for the stall is still investigated and will be fixed in a subsequent
commit.

By unconditionally updating the offsets there are more indicators
whether the SMP function calls on clock_was_set() can be avoided:
- When the offset update already happened on the remote CPU then the
remote update attempt will yield the same seqeuence number and no
IPI is required.
- When the remote CPU is currently handling hrtimer_interrupt(). In
that case the remote CPU will reevaluate the timer bases before
reprogramming anyway, so nothing to do.
- After updating it can be checked whether the first expiring timer in
the affected clock bases moves before the first expiring (softirq)
timer of the CPU. If that's not the case then sending the IPI is not
required.

Setting of clocks triggers an unconditional SMP function call on all online
CPUs to reprogram the clock event device.
However, only some clocks have their offsets updated and therefore
potentially require a reprogram. That's CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_TAI and in
the case of resume (delayed sleep time injection) also CLOCK_BOOTTIME.
Instead of sending an IPI unconditionally, check each per CPU hrtimer base
whether it has active timers in the affected clock bases which are
indicated by the caller in the @bases argument of clock_was_set().
If that's not the case, skip the IPI and update the offsets remotely which
ensures that any subsequently armed timers on the affected clocks are
evaluated with the correct offsets.
