78c7b55b36 timekeeping: Fix __ktime_get_fast_ns() regression
commit 58bfea9532552d422bde7afa207e1a0f08dffa7d upstream.

In commit 27727df240c7 ("Avoid taking lock in NMI path with
CONFIG_DEBUG_TIMEKEEPING"), I changed the logic to open-code
the timekeeping_get_ns() function, but I forgot to include
the unit conversion from cycles to nanoseconds, breaking the
function's output, which impacts users like perf.

This results in bogus perf timestamps like:

Add the proper use of timekeeping_delta_to_ns() to convert
the cycle delta to nanoseconds as needed.

Thanks to Brendan and Alexei for finding this quickly after
the v4.8 release. Unfortunately the problematic commit has
landed in some -stable trees so they'll need this fix as
well.

Many apologies for this mistake. I'll be looking to add a
perf-clock sanity test to the kselftest timers tests soon.

9b57d91c03 time: Add cycles to nanoseconds translation
commit 6bd58f09e1d8cc6c50a824c00bf0d617919986a1 upstream.

The timekeeping code does not currently provide a way to translate
externally provided clocksource cycles to system time. The cycle count
is always provided by the result clocksource read() method internal to
the timekeeping code. The added function timekeeping_cycles_to_ns()
calculated a nanosecond value from a cycle count that can be added to
tk_read_base.base value yielding the current system time. This allows
clocksource cycle values external to the timekeeping code to provide a
cycle count that can be transformed to system time.

4eca11dbd2 timekeeping: Avoid taking lock in NMI path with CONFIG_DEBUG_TIMEKEEPING
commit 27727df240c7cc84f2ba6047c6f18d5addfd25ef upstream.

When I added some extra sanity checking in timekeeping_get_ns() under
CONFIG_DEBUG_TIMEKEEPING, I missed that the NMI safe __ktime_get_fast_ns()
method was using timekeeping_get_ns().

Thus the locking added to the debug checks broke the NMI-safety of
__ktime_get_fast_ns().

This patch open-codes the timekeeping_get_ns() logic for
__ktime_get_fast_ns(), so can avoid any deadlocks in NMI.

42ef9015e0 timekeeping: Cap array access in timekeeping_debug
commit a4f8f6667f099036c88f231dcad4cf233652c824 upstream.

It was reported that hibernation could fail on the 2nd attempt, where the
system hangs at hibernate() -> syscore_resume() -> i8237A_resume() ->
claim_dma_lock(), because the lock has already been taken.

However there is actually no other process would like to grab this lock on
that problematic platform.

Further investigation showed that the problem is triggered by setting
/sys/power/pm_trace to 1 before the 1st hibernation.

Since once pm_trace is enabled, the rtc becomes unmeaningful after suspend,
and meanwhile some BIOSes would like to adjust the 'invalid' RTC (e.g, smaller
than 1970) to the release date of that motherboard during POST stage, thus
after resumed, it may seem that the system had a significant long sleep time
which is a completely meaningless value.

Then in timekeeping_resume -> tk_debug_account_sleep_time, if the bit31 of the
sleep time happened to be set to 1, fls() returns 32 and we add 1 to
sleep_time_bin[32], which causes an out of bounds array access and therefor
memory being overwritten.

As depicted by System.map:
0xffffffff81c9d080 b sleep_time_bin
0xffffffff81c9d100 B dma_spin_lock
the dma_spin_lock.val is set to 1, which caused this problem.

This patch adds a sanity check in tk_debug_account_sleep_time()
to ensure we don't index past the sleep_time_bin array.

[jstultz: Problem diagnosed and original patch by Chen Yu, I've solved the
 issue slightly differently, but borrowed his excelent explanation of the
 issue here.]

a2350f3d82 clocksource: Allow unregistering the watchdog
[ Upstream commit bbf66d897adf2bb0c310db96c97e8db6369f39e1 ]

Hyper-V vmbus module registers TSC page clocksource when loaded. This is
the clocksource with the highest rating and thus it becomes the watchdog
making unloading of the vmbus module impossible.
Separate clocksource_select_watchdog() from clocksource_enqueue_watchdog()
and use it on clocksource register/rating change/unregister.

After all, lobotomized monkeys may need some love too.

1db396648c ntp: Fix ADJ_SETOFFSET being used w/ ADJ_NANO
[ Upstream commit dd4e17ab704269bce71402285f5e8b9ac24b1eff ]

Recently, in commit 37cf4dc3370f I forgot to check if the timeval being passed
was actually a timespec (as is signaled with ADJ_NANO).

This resulted in that patch breaking ADJ_SETOFFSET users who set
ADJ_NANO, by rejecting valid timespecs that were compared with
valid timeval ranges.

This patch addresses this by checking for the ADJ_NANO flag and
using the timepsec check instead in that case.

4fc2942b6e hrtimer: Catch illegal clockids
[ Upstream commit 9006a01829a50cfd6bbd4980910ed46e895e93d7 ]

It is way too easy to take any random clockid and feed it to
the hrtimer subsystem. At best, it gets mapped to a monotonic
base, but it would be better to just catch illegal values as
early as possible.

This patch does exactly that, mapping illegal clockids to an
illegal base index, and panicing when we detect the illegal
condition.

commit 0ff53d0964 sets the next tick interrupt to the last jiffies update,
i.e. in the past, because the forward operation is invoked before the set
operation. There is no resulting damage (yet), but we get an extra pointless

972e9e3c7f time: Avoid signed overflow in timekeeping_get_ns()
commit 35a4933a895927990772ae96fdcfd2f806929ee2 upstream.

1e75fa8 "time: Condense timekeeper.xtime into xtime_sec" replaced a call to
clocksource_cyc2ns() from timekeeping_get_ns() with an open-coded version
of the same logic to avoid keeping a semi-redundant struct timespec
in struct timekeeper.

However, the commit also introduced a subtle semantic change - where
clocksource_cyc2ns() uses purely unsigned math, the new version introduces
a signed temporary, meaning that if (delta * tk->mult) has a 63-bit
overflow the following shift will still give a negative result.  The
choice of 'maxsec' in __clocksource_updatefreq_scale() means this will
generally happen if there's a ~10 minute pause in examining the
clocksource.

This can be triggered on a powerpc KVM guest by stopping it from qemu for
a bit over 10 minutes.  After resuming time has jumped backwards several
minutes causing numerous problems (jiffies does not advance, msleep()s can
be extended by minutes..).  It doesn't happen on x86 KVM guests, because
the guest TSC is effectively frozen while the guest is stopped, which is
not the case for the powerpc timebase.

Obviously an unsigned (64 bit) overflow will only take twice as long as a
signed, 63-bit overflow.  I don't know the time code well enough to know
if that will still cause incorrect calculations, or if a 64-bit overflow
is avoided elsewhere.

Still, an incorrect forwards clock adjustment will cause less trouble than
time going backwards.  So, this patch removes the potential for
intermediate signed overflow.

b8175b171f posix-clock: Fix return code on the poll method's error path
commit 1b9f23727abb92c5e58f139e7d180befcaa06fe0 upstream.

The posix_clock_poll function is supposed to return a bit mask of
POLLxxx values.  However, in case the hardware has disappeared (due to
hot plugging for example) this code returns -ENODEV in a futile
attempt to throw an error at the file descriptor level.  The kernel's
file_operations interface does not accept such error codes from the
poll method.  Instead, this function aught to return POLLERR.

The value -ENODEV does, in fact, contain the POLLERR bit (and almost
all the other POLLxxx bits as well), but only by chance.  This patch
fixes code to return a proper bit mask.

Credit goes to Markus Elfring for pointing out the suspicious
signed/unsigned mismatch.

dd0d511548 hrtimer: Handle remaining time proper for TIME_LOW_RES
commit 203cbf77de59fc8f13502dcfd11350c6d4a5c95f upstream.

If CONFIG_TIME_LOW_RES is enabled we add a jiffie to the relative timeout to
prevent short sleeps, but we do not account for that in interfaces which
retrieve the remaining time.

Helge observed that timerfd can return a remaining time larger than the
relative timeout. That's not expected and breaks userland test programs.

Store the information that the timer was armed relative and provide functions
to adjust the remaining time. To avoid bloating the hrtimer struct make state
a u8, which as a bonus results in better code on x86 at least.

22b886dd10 timers: Use proper base migration in add_timer_on()
Regardless of the previous CPU a timer was on, add_timer_on()
currently simply sets timer->flags to the new CPU.  As the caller must
be seeing the timer as idle, this is locally fine, but the timer
leaving the old base while unlocked can lead to race conditions as
follows.

Let's say timer was on cpu 0.

  cpu 0					cpu 1
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  del_timer(timer) succeeds
					del_timer(timer)
					  lock_timer_base(timer) locks cpu_0_base
  add_timer_on(timer, 1)
    spin_lock(&cpu_1_base->lock)
    timer->flags set to cpu_1_base
    operates on @timer			  operates on @timer

This triggered with mod_delayed_work_on() which contains
"if (del_timer()) add_timer_on()" sequence eventually leading to the
following oops.

Fix it by updating add_timer_on() to perform proper migration as
__mod_timer() does.

56fd16caba timekeeping: Increment clock_was_set_seq in timekeeping_init()
timekeeping_init() can set the wall time offset, so we need to
increment the clock_was_set_seq counter. That way hrtimers will pick
up the early offset immediately. Otherwise on a machine which does not
set wall time later in the boot process the hrtimer offset is stale at
0 and wall time timers are going to expire with a delay of 45 years.

c8d75aa47d posix_cpu_timer: Reduce unnecessary sighand lock contention
It was found while running a database workload on large systems that
significant time was spent trying to acquire the sighand lock.

The issue was that whenever an itimer expired, many threads ended up
simultaneously trying to send the signal. Most of the time, nothing
happened after acquiring the sighand lock because another thread
had just already sent the signal and updated the "next expire" time.
The fastpath_timer_check() didn't help much since the "next expire"
time was updated after the threads exit fastpath_timer_check().

This patch addresses this by having the thread_group_cputimer structure
maintain a boolean to signify when a thread in the group is already
checking for process wide timers, and adds extra logic in the fastpath
to check the boolean.

d5c373eb56 posix_cpu_timer: Convert cputimer->running to bool
In the next patch in this series, a new field 'checking_timer' will
be added to 'struct thread_group_cputimer'. Both this and the
existing 'running' integer field are just used as boolean values. To
save space in the structure, we can make both of these fields booleans.

This is a preparatory patch to convert the existing running integer
field to a boolean.

934715a191 posix_cpu_timer: Check thread timers only when there are active thread timers
The fastpath_timer_check() contains logic to check for if any timers
are set by checking if !task_cputime_zero(). Similarly, we can do this
before calling check_thread_timers(). In the case where there
are only process-wide timers, this will skip all of the computations for
per-thread timers when there are no per-thread timers.

As suggested by George, we can put the task_cputime_zero() check in
check_thread_timers(), since that is more of an optization to the
function. Similarly, we move the existing check of cputimer->running
to check_process_timers().
