3d12ccecfa hrtimer: Ensure timerfd notification for HIGHRES=n
[ Upstream commit 8c3b5e6ec0 ]

If high resolution timers are disabled the timerfd notification about a
clock was set event is not happening for all cases which use
clock_was_set_delayed() because that's a NOP for HIGHRES=n, which is wrong.

Make clock_was_set_delayed() unconditially available to fix that.

aadfa1d6ca hrtimer: Avoid double reprogramming in __hrtimer_start_range_ns()
[ Upstream commit 627ef5ae2d ]

If __hrtimer_start_range_ns() is invoked with an already armed hrtimer then
the timer has to be canceled first and then added back. If the timer is the
first expiring timer then on removal the clockevent device is reprogrammed
to the next expiring timer to avoid that the pending expiry fires needlessly.

If the new expiry time ends up to be the first expiry again then the clock
event device has to reprogrammed again.

Avoid this by checking whether the timer is the first to expire and in that
case, keep the timer on the current CPU and delay the reprogramming up to
the point where the timer has been enqueued again.

df7dbfc24c hrtimer: Update softirq_expires_next correctly after __hrtimer_get_next_event()
[ Upstream commit 46eb1701c0 ]

hrtimer_force_reprogram() and hrtimer_interrupt() invokes
__hrtimer_get_next_event() to find the earliest expiry time of hrtimer
bases. __hrtimer_get_next_event() does not update
cpu_base::[softirq_]_expires_next to preserve reprogramming logic. That
needs to be done at the callsites.

hrtimer_force_reprogram() updates cpu_base::softirq_expires_next only when
the first expiring timer is a softirq timer and the soft interrupt is not
activated. That's wrong because cpu_base::softirq_expires_next is left
stale when the first expiring timer of all bases is a timer which expires
in hard interrupt context. hrtimer_interrupt() does never update
cpu_base::softirq_expires_next which is wrong too.

That becomes a problem when clock_settime() sets CLOCK_REALTIME forward and
the first soft expiring timer is in the CLOCK_REALTIME_SOFT base. Setting
CLOCK_REALTIME forward moves the clock MONOTONIC based expiry time of that
timer before the stale cpu_base::softirq_expires_next.

cpu_base::softirq_expires_next is cached to make the check for raising the
soft interrupt fast. In the above case the soft interrupt won't be raised
until clock monotonic reaches the stale cpu_base::softirq_expires_next
value. That's incorrect, but what's worse it that if the softirq timer
becomes the first expiring timer of all clock bases after the hard expiry
timer has been handled the reprogramming of the clockevent from
hrtimer_interrupt() will result in an interrupt storm. That happens because
the reprogramming does not use cpu_base::softirq_expires_next, it uses
__hrtimer_get_next_event() which returns the actual expiry time. Once clock
MONOTONIC reaches cpu_base::softirq_expires_next the soft interrupt is
raised and the storm subsides.

Change the logic in hrtimer_force_reprogram() to evaluate the soft and hard
bases seperately, update softirq_expires_next and handle the case when a
soft expiring timer is the first of all bases by comparing the expiry times
and updating the required cpu base fields. Split this functionality into a
separate function to be able to use it in hrtimer_interrupt() as well
without copy paste.

af5a06b582 hrtimer: Use sequence counter with associated raw spinlock
A sequence counter write side critical section must be protected by some
form of locking to serialize writers. 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. This enables lockdep to verify
that the raw spinlock used for writer serialization is held when the
write side critical section is entered.

If lockdep is disabled this lock association is compiled out and has
neither storage size nor runtime overhead.

 "Core:

   - Consolidation of the vDSO build infrastructure to address the
     difficulties of cross-builds for ARM64 compat vDSO libraries by
     restricting the exposure of header content to the vDSO build.

     This is achieved by splitting out header content into separate
     headers. which contain only the minimaly required information which
     is necessary to build the vDSO. These new headers are included from
     the kernel headers and the vDSO specific files.

   - Enhancements to the generic vDSO library allowing more fine grained

40db173965 lockdep: Add hrtimer context tracing bits
Set current->irq_config = 1 for hrtimers which are not marked to expire in
hard interrupt context during hrtimer_init(). These timers will expire in
softirq context on PREEMPT_RT.

Setting this allows lockdep to differentiate these timers. If a timer is
marked to expire in hard interrupt context then the timer callback is not
supposed to acquire a regular spinlock instead of a raw_spinlock in the
expiry callback.

divisor 'div' is explicitly casted to unsigned long, thus 64-bit on 64-bit

The code already ensures that the divisor is less than 2^32. Hence the
proper cast type is u32.

clock_nanosleep() accepts absolute values of expiration time when
TIMER_ABSTIME flag is set. This absolute value is inside the task's
time namespace, and has to be converted to the host's time.

There is timens_ktime_to_host() helper for converting time, but
it accepts ktime argument.

As a preparation, make hrtimer_nanosleep() accept a clock value in ktime
instead of timespec64.

   - ABI fix: Zero out high order bits of nanoseconds on compat
     syscalls. This got broken a year ago, with apparently no side
     effects so far.

     Since the kernel would use random data otherwise I don't think we'd
     have other options but to fix the bug, even if there was a side
     effect to applications (Dmitry Safonov)

   - Optimize ns_to_timespec64() on 32-bit systems: move away from
     div_s64_rem() which can be slow, to div_u64_rem() which is faster

     (Eric Dumazet)

   - Misc cleanups and small fixes"

ff229eee3d hrtimer: Annotate lockless access to timer->base
Followup to commit dd2261ed45 ("hrtimer: Protect lockless access
to timer->base")

lock_hrtimer_base() fetches timer->base without lock exclusion.

Compiler is allowed to read timer->base twice (even if considered dumb)
which could end up trying to lock migration_base and return
&migration_base.

  base = timer->base;
  if (likely(base != &migration_base)) {

       /* compiler reads timer->base again, and now (base == &migration_base)

       raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&base->cpu_base->lock, *flags);
       if (likely(base == timer->base))
            return base; /* == &migration_base ! */

Similarly the write sides must use WRITE_ONCE() to avoid store tearing.

5d2295f3a9 hrtimer: Add a missing bracket and hide `migration_base' on !SMP
The recent change to avoid taking the expiry lock when a timer is currently
migrated missed to add a bracket at the end of the if statement leading to
compile errors.  Since that commit the variable `migration_base' is always
used but it is only available on SMP configuration thus leading to another
compile error.  The changelog says "The timer base and base->cpu_base

configurations only.

Add the missing bracket to the if statement and hide `migration_base'
behind CONFIG_SMP bars.

68b2c8c1e4 hrtimer: Don't take expiry_lock when timer is currently migrated
migration_base is used as a placeholder when an hrtimer is migrated to a
different CPU. In the case that hrtimer_cancel_wait_running() hits a timer
which is currently migrated it would pointlessly acquire the expiry lock of
the migration base, which is even not initialized.

Surely it could be initialized, but there is absolutely no point in
acquiring this lock because the timer is guaranteed not to run it's
callback for which the caller waits to finish on that base. So it would
just do the inc/lock/dec/unlock dance for nothing.

As the base switch is short and non-preemptible, there is no issue when the
wait function returns immediately.

The timer base and base->cpu_base cannot be NULL in the code path which is
invoking that, so just replace those checks with a check whether base is
migration base.

dd2261ed45 hrtimer: Protect lockless access to timer->base
The update to timer->base is protected by the base->cpu_base->lock().
However, hrtimer_cancel_wait_running() does access it lockless.  So the
compiler is allowed to refetch timer->base which can cause havoc when the
timer base is changed concurrently.

Use READ_ONCE() to prevent this.

0bee3b601b hrtimer: Improve comments on handling priority inversion against softirq kthread
The handling of a priority inversion between timer cancelling and a a not
well defined possible preemption of softirq kthread is not very clear.

Especially in the posix timers side it's unclear why there is a specific RT
wait callback.

All the nice explanations can be found in the initial changelog of
f61eff83ce (hrtimer: Prepare support for PREEMPT_RT").

Extract the detailed informations from there and put it into comments.

f61eff83ce hrtimer: Prepare support for PREEMPT_RT
When PREEMPT_RT is enabled, the soft interrupt thread can be preempted.  If
the soft interrupt thread is preempted in the middle of a timer callback,
then calling hrtimer_cancel() can lead to two issues:

  - If the caller is on a remote CPU then it has to spin wait for the timer
    handler to complete. This can result in unbound priority inversion.

  - If the caller originates from the task which preempted the timer
    handler on the same CPU, then spin waiting for the timer handler to
    complete is never going to end.

To avoid these issues, add a new lock to the timer base which is held
around the execution of the timer callbacks. If hrtimer_cancel() detects
that the timer callback is currently running, it blocks on the expiry
lock. When the callback is finished, the expiry lock is dropped by the
softirq thread which wakes up the waiter and the system makes progress.

This addresses both the priority inversion and the life lock issues.

The same issue can happen in virtual machines when the vCPU which runs a
timer callback is scheduled out. If a second vCPU of the same guest calls
hrtimer_cancel() it will spin wait for the other vCPU to be scheduled back
in. The expiry lock mechanism would avoid that. It'd be trivial to enable
this when paravirt spinlocks are enabled in a guest, but it's not clear
whether this is an actual problem in the wild, so for now it's an RT only
mechanism.

1842f5a427 hrtimer: Determine hard/soft expiry mode for hrtimer sleepers on RT
On PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels hrtimers which are not explicitely marked for
hard interrupt expiry mode are moved into soft interrupt context either for
latency reasons or because the hrtimer callback takes regular spinlocks or
invokes other functions which are not suitable for hard interrupt context
on PREEMPT_RT.

The hrtimer_sleeper callback is RT compatible in hard interrupt context,
but there is a latency concern: Untrusted userspace can spawn many threads
which arm timers for the same expiry time on the same CPU. On expiry that
causes a latency spike due to the wakeup of a gazillion threads.

OTOH, priviledged real-time user space applications rely on the low latency
of hard interrupt wakeups. These syscall related wakeups are all based on
hrtimer sleepers.

If the current task is in a real-time scheduling class, mark the mode for
hard interrupt expiry.

f5c2f0215e hrtimer: Move unmarked hrtimers to soft interrupt expiry on RT
On PREEMPT_RT not all hrtimers can be expired in hard interrupt context
even if that is perfectly fine on a PREEMPT_RT=n kernel, e.g. because they
take regular spinlocks. Also for latency reasons PREEMPT_RT tries to defer
most hrtimers' expiry into softirq context.

hrtimers marked with HRTIMER_MODE_HARD must be kept in hard interrupt
context expiry mode. Add the required logic.

No functional change for PREEMPT_RT=n kernels.
