A set oftimekeeping/VDSO updates:
- Preparatory work to allow S390 to switch over to the generic VDSO
implementation.
S390 requires that the VDSO data pointer is handed in to the counter
read function when time namespace support is enabled. Adding the pointer
is a NOOP for all other architectures because the compiler is supposed
to optimize that out when it is unused in the architecture specific
inline. The change also solved a similar problem for MIPS which
fortunately has time namespaces not yet enabled.
S390 needs to update clock related VDSO data independent of the
timekeeping updates. This was solved so far with yet another sequence
counter in the S390 implementation. A better solution is to utilize the
already existing VDSO sequence count for this. The core code now exposes
helper functions which allow to serialize against the timekeeper code
and against concurrent readers.
S390 needs extra data for their clock readout function. The initial
common VDSO data structure did not provide a way to add that. It now has
an embedded architecture specific struct embedded which defaults to an
empty struct.
Doing this now avoids tree dependencies and conflicts post rc1 and
allows all other architectures which work on generic VDSO support to
work from a common upstream base.
- A trivial comment fix.

A set of posix CPU timer changes which allows to defer the heavy work of
posix CPU timers into task work context. The tick interrupt is reduced to a quick check which queues the work which is doing the heavy lifting before returning to user space or going back to guest mode. Moving this out is deferring the signal delivery slightly but posix CPU timers are inaccurate by nature as they depend on the tick so there is no real damage. The relevant test cases all passed. This lifts the last offender for RT out of the hard interrupt context tick handler, but it also has the general benefit that the actual heavy work is accounted to the task/process and not to the tick interrupt itself. Further optimizations are possible to break long sighand lock hold and interrupt disabled (on !RT kernels) times when a massive amount of posix CPU timers (which are unpriviledged) is armed for a task/process. This is currently only enabled for x86 because the architecture has to ensure that task work is handled in KVM before entering a guest, which was just established for x86 with the new common entry/exit code which got merged post 5.8 and is not the case for other KVM architectures. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJHBAABCgAxFiEEQp8+kY+LLUocC4bMphj1TA10mKEFAl82sRkTHHRnbHhAbGlu dXRyb25peC5kZQAKCRCmGPVMDXSYoUs2D/9IZuALnVXtnvsOQh5uMRpxr/I6tpQm KJSRkcSSne9rIV3dQlswDdaT7bGibd7pbKQOnlA0vc37vDwaJHEzmTOJGpHpHnMA fHH2QP3LL2oZ1d7DG6eNJESCmaFBcaYXNbKtluOWQzHQhd9P8yHb4N+kzfxHK0Fr uNd+cd6T658xPsNOLaLP3MG2Yz0rVt2F5c1v8n78NfibeKckYhPov8cwVrf2WGWr XFHKorx4lXZ+vFwKEeZ7qQtqvAsLDixgMkFfY2GGSPhd1AMAaIUICZgsdEj2gg7H YK+lwA0uoqPaXshOCmdkCLkfPA7BRmAySWE7jUPbIvRqM94Uapk9+4CqjgiH1Qs+ T8CWbcZk8tZACFrouhZkhrnjUTev/vE7oirsjn26DRY68/Ec7llpCOjvVA7HZWqN vJ/BN35IufA7WEkf2TWNv5mg1zIlHI0O17zDifFq4g2VKFDVvQB0QYWlvug/eAu9 zYNX3WwA/IP8C9EOHZt54e6AKH8F3dT04oLFUkmRIcVKv1SEbdFufVfV7RavPEwK P21JNXPDdd0aLUO7ksqyQN7pyR3puGXSCb5NAPtZY6UWSMN4G/3SVry3mJa/0BJd mn+uYGpo9vmceh90vAHBoGIena/pez/PyRLWgGeT9jMjk95rNY0sEhaLEAOF9AR5 ck+3K2rY0S3wwQ== =Reot -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'timers-core-2020-08-14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull more timer updates from Thomas Gleixner: "A set of posix CPU timer changes which allows to defer the heavy work of posix CPU timers into task work context.

A set of locking fixes and updates:
- Untangle the header spaghetti which causes build failures in various
situations caused by the lockdep additions to seqcount to validate that
the write side critical sections are non-preemptible.
- The seqcount associated lock debug addons which were blocked by the
above fallout.
seqcount writers contrary to seqlock writers must be externally
serialized, which usually happens via locking - except for strict per
CPU seqcounts. As the lock is not part of the seqcount, lockdep cannot
validate that the lock is held.
This new debug mechanism adds the concept of associated locks.
sequence count has now lock type variants and corresponding
initializers which take a pointer to the associated lock used for
writer serialization. If lockdep is enabled the pointer is stored and
write_seqcount_begin() has a lockdep assertion to validate that the
lock is held.
Aside of the type and the initializer no other code changes are
required at the seqcount usage sites. The rest of the seqcount API is
unchanged and determines the type at compile time with the help of
_Generic which is possible now that the minimal GCC version has been
moved up.
Adding this lockdep coverage unearthed a handful of seqcount bugs which
have been addressed already independent of this.
While generaly useful this comes with a Trojan Horse twist: On RT
kernels the write side critical section can become preemtible if the
writers are serialized by an associated lock, which leads to the well
known reader preempts writer livelock. RT prevents this by storing the
associated lock pointer independent of lockdep in the seqcount and
changing the reader side to block on the lock when a reader detects
that a writer is in the write side critical section.

posix-cpu-timers: Provide mechanisms to defer timer handling to task_work
Running posix CPU timers in hard interrupt context has a few downsides: - For PREEMPT_RT it cannot work as the expiry code needs to take sighand lock, which is a 'sleeping spinlock' in RT. The original RT approach of offloading the posix CPU timer handling into a high priority thread was clumsy and provided no real benefit in general. - For fine grained accounting it's just wrong to run this in context of the timer interrupt because that way a process specific CPU time is accounted to the timer interrupt. - Long running timer interrupts caused by a large amount of expiring timers which can be created and armed by unpriviledged user space. There is no hard requirement to expire them in interrupt context. If the signal is targeted at the task itself then it won't be delivered before the task returns to user space anyway. If the signal is targeted at a supervisor process then it might be slightly delayed, but posix CPU timers are inaccurate anyway due to the fact that they are tied to the tick. Provide infrastructure to schedule task work which allows splitting the posix CPU timer code into a quick check in interrupt context and a thread context expiry and signal delivery function. This has to be enabled by architectures as it requires that the architecture specific KVM implementation handles pending task work before exiting to guest mode.

timekeeping/vsyscall: Provide vdso_update_begin/end()
Architectures can have the requirement to add additional architecture specific data to the VDSO data page which needs to be updated independent of the timekeeper updates. To protect these updates vs. concurrent readers and a conflicting update through timekeeping, provide helper functions to make such updates safe. vdso_update_begin() takes the timekeeper_lock to protect against a potential update from timekeeper code and increments the VDSO sequence count to signal data inconsistency to concurrent readers. vdso_update_end() makes the sequence count even again to signal data consistency and drops the timekeeper lock.

Last cycle setns() was changed to support attaching to multiple namespaces atomically. This requires all namespaces to have a point of no return where they can't fail anymore. Specifically, <namespace-type>_install() is allowed to perform permission checks and install the namespace into the new struct nsset that it has been given but it is not allowed to make visible changes to the affected task. Once <namespace-type>_install() returns, anything that the given namespace type additionally requires to be setup needs to ideally be done in a function that can't fail or if it fails the failure must be non-fatal. For time namespaces the relevant functions that fell into this category were timens_set_vvar_page() and vdso_join_timens(). The latter could still fail although it didn't need to. This function is only implemented for vdso_join_timens() in current mainline. As discussed on-list (cf. [1]), in order to make setns() support time namespaces when attaching to multiple namespaces at once properly we changed vdso_join_timens() to always succeed. So vdso_join_timens() replaces the mmap_write_lock_killable() with mmap_read_lock(). Please note that arm is about to grow vdso support for time namespaces (possibly this merge window). We've synced on this change and arm64 also uses mmap_read_lock(), i.e. makes vdso_join_timens() a function that can't fail. Once the changes here and the arm64 changes have landed, vdso_join_timens() should be turned into a void function so it's obvious to callers and implementers on other architectures that the expectation is that it can't fail. We didn't do this right away because it would've introduced unnecessary merge conflicts between the two trees for no major gain.

The main changes in this cycle were:
- Improve uclamp performance by using a static key for the fast path
- Add the "sched_util_clamp_min_rt_default" sysctl, to optimize for
better power efficiency of RT tasks on battery powered devices.
(The default is to maximize performance & reduce RT latencies.)
- Improve utime and stime tracking accuracy, which had a fixed boundary
of error, which created larger and larger relative errors as the values
become larger. This is now replaced with more precise arithmetics,
using the new mul_u64_u64_div_u64() helper in math64.h.
- Improve the deadline scheduler, such as making it capacity aware
- Improve frequency-invariant scheduling
- Misc cleanups in energy/power aware scheduling
- Add sched_update_nr_running tracepoint to track changes to nr_running
- Documentation additions and updates
- Misc cleanups and smaller fixes

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
- Improve uclamp performance by using a static key for the fast path
- Add the "sched_util_clamp_min_rt_default" sysctl, to optimize for
better power efficiency of RT tasks on battery powered devices.
(The default is to maximize performance & reduce RT latencies.)
- Improve utime and stime tracking accuracy, which had a fixed boundary
of error, which created larger and larger relative errors as the
values become larger. This is now replaced with more precise
arithmetics, using the new mul_u64_u64_div_u64() helper in math64.h.
- Improve the deadline scheduler, such as making it capacity aware
- Improve frequency-invariant scheduling
- Misc cleanups in energy/power aware scheduling
- Add sched_update_nr_running tracepoint to track changes to nr_running
- Documentation additions and updates
- Misc cleanups and smaller fixes

arm64 and cross-arch updates for 5.9:
- Removal of the tremendously unpopular read_barrier_depends() barrier,
which is a NOP on all architectures apart from Alpha, in favour of
allowing architectures to override READ_ONCE() and do whatever dance
they need to do to ensure address dependencies provide LOAD ->
LOAD/STORE ordering. This work also offers a potential solution if
compilers are shown to convert LOAD -> LOAD address dependencies into
control dependencies (e.g. under LTO), as weakly ordered architectures
will effectively be able to upgrade READ_ONCE() to smp_load_acquire().
The latter case is not used yet, but will be discussed further at LPC.
- Make the MSI/IOMMU input/output ID translation PCI agnostic, augment
the MSI/IOMMU ACPI/OF ID mapping APIs to accept an input ID
bus-specific parameter and apply the resulting changes to the device
ID space provided by the Freescale FSL bus.
- arm64 support for TLBI range operations and translation table level
hints (part of the ARMv8.4 architecture version).
- Time namespace support for arm64.
- Export the virtual and physical address sizes in vmcoreinfo for
makedumpfile and crash utilities.
- CPU feature handling cleanups and checks for programmer errors
(overlapping bit-fields).
- ACPI updates for arm64: disallow AML accesses to EFI code regions and
kernel memory.
- perf updates for arm64.
- Miscellaneous fixes and cleanups, most notably PLT counting
optimisation for module loading, recordmcount fix to ignore
relocations other than R_AARCH64_CALL26, CMA areas reserved for
gigantic pages on 16K and 64K configurations.
- Trivial typos, duplicate words.

random32: update the net random state on interrupt and activity
This modifies the first 32 bits out of the 128 bits of a random CPU's net_rand_state on interrupt or CPU activity to complicate remote observations that could lead to guessing the network RNG's internal state. Note that depending on some network devices' interrupt rate moderation or binding, this re-seeding might happen on every packet or even almost never. In addition, with NOHZ some CPUs might not even get timer interrupts, leaving their local state rarely updated, while they are running networked processes making use of the random state. For this reason, we also perform this update in update_process_times() in order to at least update the state when there is user or system activity, since it's the only case we care about.

A plain seqcount_t does not contain the information of which lock must be held when entering a write side critical section. Use the new seqcount_raw_spinlock_t data type, which allows to associate a raw spinlock with the sequence counter.

timers: Recalculate next timer interrupt only when necessary
The nohz tick code recalculates the timer wheel's next expiry on each idle loop iteration. On the other hand, the base next expiry is now always cached and updated upon timer enqueue and execution. Only timer dequeue may leave base->next_expiry out of date (but then its stale value won't ever go past the actual next expiry to be recalculated). Since recalculating the next_expiry isn't a free operation, especially when the last wheel level is reached to find out that no timer has been enqueued at all, reuse the next expiry cache when it is known to be reliable, which it is most of the time.

timers: Use only bucket expiry for base->next_expiry value
The bucket expiry time is the effective expriy time of timers and is greater than or equal to the requested timer expiry time. This is due to the guarantee that timers never expire early and the reduced expiry granularity in the secondary wheel levels. When a timer is enqueued, trigger_dyntick_cpu() checks whether the timer is the new first timer. This check compares next_expiry with the requested timer expiry value and not with the effective expiry value of the bucket into which the timer was queued. Storing the requested timer expiry value in base->next_expiry can lead to base->clk going backwards if the requested timer expiry value is smaller than base->clk. Commit |

compares the actual expiry against the maximum. Then instead of fixing the
delta to fit in, it sets the maximum delta as the expiry value.
This can result in various undesired outcomes, the worst possible one
being a timer expiring 15 days ahead to fire immediately.

timer: Prevent base->clk from moving backward
When a timer is enqueued with a negative delta (ie: expiry is below
base->clk), it gets added to the wheel as expiring now (base->clk).
Yet the value that gets stored in base->next_expiry, while calling
trigger_dyntick_cpu(), is the initial timer->expires value. The
resulting state becomes:
base->next_expiry < base->clk
On the next timer enqueue, forward_timer_base() may accidentally
rewind base->clk. As a possible outcome, timers may expire way too
early, the worst case being that the highest wheel levels get spuriously
processed again.
To prevent from that, make sure that base->next_expiry doesn't get below
base->clk.

nsproxy: support CLONE_NEWTIME with setns()
So far setns() was missing time namespace support. This was partially due to it simply not being implemented but also because vdso_join_timens() could still fail which made switching to multiple namespaces atomically problematic.

timens: make vdso_join_timens() always succeed
As discussed on-list (cf. [1]), in order to make setns() support time namespaces when attaching to multiple namespaces at once properly we need to tweak vdso_join_timens() to always succeed. So switch vdso_join_timens() to using a read lock and replacing mmap_write_lock_killable() to mmap_read_lock() as we discussed. Last cycle setns() was changed to support attaching to multiple namespaces atomically. This requires all namespaces to have a point of no return where they can't fail anymore. Specifically, <namespace-type>_install() is allowed to perform permission checks and install the namespace into the new struct nsset that it has been given but it is not allowed to make visible changes to the affected task. Once <namespace-type>_install() returns anything that the given namespace type requires to be setup in addition needs to ideally be done in a function that can't fail or if it fails the failure is not fatal. For time namespaces the relevant functions that fall into this category are timens_set_vvar_page() and vdso_join_timens(). Currently the latter can fail but doesn't need to. With this we can go on to implement a timens_commit() helper in a follow up patch to be used by setns().

tick/nohz: Narrow down noise while setting current task's tick dependency
Setting a tick dependency on any task, including the case where a task
sets that dependency on itself, triggers an IPI to all CPUs. That is
of course suboptimal but it had previously not been an issue because it
was only used by POSIX CPU timers on nohz_full, which apparently never
occurs in latency-sensitive workloads in production. (Or users of such
systems are suffering in silence on the one hand or venting their ire
on the wrong people on the other.)
But RCU now sets a task tick dependency on the current task in order
to fix stall issues that can occur during RCU callback processing.
Thus, RCU callback processing triggers frequent system-wide IPIs from
nohz_full CPUs. This is quite counter-productive, after all, avoiding
IPIs is what nohz_full is supposed to be all about.
This commit therefore optimizes tasks' self-setting of a task tick
dependency by using tick_nohz_full_kick() to avoid the system-wide IPI.
Instead, only the execution of the one task is disturbed, which is
acceptable given that this disturbance is well down into the noise
compared to the degree to which the RCU callback processing itself
disturbs execution.

The X86 entry, exception and interrupt code rework
This all started about 6 month ago with the attempt to move the Posix CPU timer heavy lifting out of the timer interrupt code and just have lockless quick checks in that code path. Trivial 5 patches. This unearthed an inconsistency in the KVM handling of task work and the review requested to move all of this into generic code so other architectures can share. Valid request and solved with another 25 patches but those unearthed inconsistencies vs. RCU and instrumentation. Digging into this made it obvious that there are quite some inconsistencies vs. instrumentation in general. The int3 text poke handling in particular was completely unprotected and with the batched update of trace events even more likely to expose to endless int3 recursion. In parallel the RCU implications of instrumenting fragile entry code came up in several discussions. The conclusion of the X86 maintainer team was to go all the way and make the protection against any form of instrumentation of fragile and dangerous code pathes enforcable and verifiable by tooling. A first batch of preparatory work hit mainline with commit |

nsproxy: add struct nsset
Add a simple struct nsset. It holds all necessary pieces to switch to a new set of namespaces without leaving a task in a half-switched state which we will make use of in the next patch. This patch switches the existing setns logic over without causing a change in setns() behavior. This brings setns() closer to how unshare() works(). The prepare_ns() function is responsible to prepare all necessary information. This has two reasons. First it minimizes dependencies between individual namespaces, i.e. all install handler can expect that all fields are properly initialized independent in what order they are called in. Second, this makes the code easier to maintain and easier to follow if it needs to be changed. The prepare_ns() helper will only be switched over to use a flags argument in the next patch. Here it will still use nstype as a simple integer argument which was argued would be clearer. I'm not particularly opinionated about this if it really helps or not. The struct nsset itself already contains the flags field since its name already indicates that it can contain information required by different namespaces. None of this should have functional consequences. Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@ubuntu.com> Reviewed-by: Serge Hallyn <serge@hallyn.com> Cc: Eric W.

posix-cpu-timers: Replace __get_task_for_clock with pid_for_clock
Now that the codes store references to pids instead of referendes to tasks. Looking up a task for a clock instead of looking up a struct pid makes the code more difficult to verify it is correct than necessary. In posix_cpu_timers_create get_task_pid can race with release_task for threads and return a NULL pid. As put_pid and cpu_timer_task_rcu handle NULL pids just fine the code works without problems but it is an extra case to consider and keep in mind while verifying and modifying the code. There are races with de_thread to consider that only don't apply because thread clocks are only allowed for threads in the same thread_group. So instead of leaving a burden for people making modification to the code in the future return a rcu protected struct pid for the clock instead. The logic for __get_task_for_pid and lookup_task has been folded into the new function pid_for_clock with the only change being the logic has been modified from working on a task to working on a pid that will be returned. In posix_cpu_clock_get instead of calling pid_for_clock checking the result and then calling pid_task to get the task. The result of pid_for_clock is fed directly into pid_task. This is safe because pid_task handles NULL pids. As such an extra error check was unnecessary. Instead of hiding the flag that enables the special clock_gettime handling, I have made the 3 callers just pass the flag in themselves. That is less code and seems just as simple to work with as the wrapper functions. Historically the clock_gettime special case of allowing a process clock to be found by the thread id did not even exist [ |

posix-cpu-timer: Tidy up group_leader logic in lookup_task
Replace has_group_leader_pid with thread_group_leader. Years ago Oleg suggested changing thread_group_leader to has_group_leader_pid to handle races. Looking at the code then and now I don't see how it ever helped. Especially as then the code really did need to be the thread_group_leader. Today it doesn't make a difference if thread_group_leader races with de_thread as the task returned from lookup_task in the non-thread case is just used to find values in task->signal. Since the races with de_thread have never been handled revert has_group_header_pid to thread_group_leader for clarity. Update the comment in lookup_task to remove implementation details that are no longer true and to mention task->signal instead of task->sighand, as the relevant cpu timer details are all in task->signal.
