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.

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.

clock_was_set() unconditionaly invokes retrigger_next_event() on all online
CPUs. This was necessary because that mechanism was also used for resume
from suspend to idle which is not longer the case.
The bases arguments allows the callers of clock_was_set() to hand in a mask
which tells clock_was_set() which of the hrtimer clock bases are affected
by the clock setting. This mask will be used in the next step to check
whether a CPU base has timers queued on a clock base affected by the event
and avoid the SMP function call if there are none.
Add a @bases argument, provide defines for the active bases masking and
fixup all callsites.

do_adjtimex() might end up scheduling a delayed clock_was_set() via
timekeeping_advance() and then invoke clock_was_set() directly which is
pointless.

Resuming timekeeping is a clock-was-set event and uses the clock-was-set
notification mechanism. This is in the way of making the clock-was-set
update for hrtimers selective so unnecessary IPIs are avoided when a CPU
base does not have timers queued which are affected by the clock setting.
Distangle it by invoking hrtimer_resume() on each unfreezing CPU and invoke
the new timerfd_resume() function from timekeeping_resume() which is the
only place where this is needed.
Rename hrtimer_resume() to hrtimer_resume_local() to reflect the change.
With this the clock_was_set*() functions are not longer required to IPI all
CPUs unconditionally and can get some smarts to avoid them.

When CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS is disabled, but NOHZ is enabled then
clock_was_set() is not doing anything. With HIGHRES=n the kernel relies on
the periodic tick to update the clock offsets, but when NOHZ is enabled and
active then CPUs which are in a deep idle sleep do not have a periodic tick
which means the expiry of timers affected by clock_was_set() can be
arbitrarily delayed up to the point where the CPUs are brought out of idle
again.
Make the clock_was_set() logic unconditionaly available so that idle CPUs
are kicked out of idle to handle the update.

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.

There are several scenarios that can result in posix_cpu_timer_set()
not queueing the timer but still leaving the threadgroup cputime counter
running or keeping the tick dependency around for a random amount of time.
1) If timer_settime() is called with a 0 expiration on a timer that is
already disabled, the process wide cputime counter will be started
and won't ever get a chance to be stopped by stop_process_timer()
since no timer is actually armed to be processed.
The following snippet is enough to trigger the issue.
void trigger_process_counter(void)
{
timer_t id;
struct itimerspec val = { };
timer_create(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID, NULL, &id);
timer_settime(id, TIMER_ABSTIME, &val, NULL);
timer_delete(id);
}
2) If timer_settime() is called with a 0 expiration on a timer that is
already armed, the timer is dequeued but not really disarmed. So the
process wide cputime counter and the tick dependency may still remain
a while around.
The following code snippet keeps this overhead around for one week after
the timer deletion:
void trigger_process_counter(void)
{
timer_t id;
struct itimerspec val = { };
val.it_value.tv_sec = 604800;
timer_create(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID, NULL, &id);
timer_settime(id, 0, &val, NULL);
timer_delete(id);
}
3) If the timer was initially deactivated, this call to timer_settime()
with an early expiration may have started the process wide cputime
counter even though the timer hasn't been queued and armed because it
has fired early and inline within posix_cpu_timer_set() itself. As a
result the process wide cputime counter may never stop until a new
timer is ever armed in the future.
The following code snippet can reproduce this:
void trigger_process_counter(void)
{
timer_t id;
struct itimerspec val = { };
signal(SIGALRM, SIG_IGN);
timer_create(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID, NULL, &id);
val.it_value.tv_nsec = 1;
timer_settime(id, TIMER_ABSTIME, &val, NULL);
}
4) If the timer was initially armed with a former expiration value
before this call to timer_settime() and the current call sets an
early deadline that has already expired, the timer fires inline
within posix_cpu_timer_set(). In this case it must have been dequeued
before firing inline with its new expiration value, yet it hasn't
been disarmed in this case. So the process wide cputime counter and
the tick dependency may still be around for a while even after the
timer fired.
The following code snippet can reproduce this:
void trigger_process_counter(void)
{
timer_t id;
struct itimerspec val = { };
signal(SIGALRM, SIG_IGN);
timer_create(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID, NULL, &id);
val.it_value.tv_sec = 100;
timer_settime(id, TIMER_ABSTIME, &val, NULL);
val.it_value.tv_sec = 0;
val.it_value.tv_nsec = 1;
timer_settime(id, TIMER_ABSTIME, &val, NULL);
}
Fix all these issues with triggering the related base next expiration
recalculation on the next tick. This also implies to re-evaluate the need
to keep around the process wide cputime counter and the tick dependency, in
a similar fashion to disarm_timer().

When an itimer deactivates a previously armed expiration, it simply doesn't
do anything. As a result the process wide cputime counter keeps running and
the tick dependency stays set until it reaches the old ghost expiration
value.
This can be reproduced with the following snippet:
void trigger_process_counter(void)
{
struct itimerval n = {};
n.it_value.tv_sec = 100;
setitimer(ITIMER_VIRTUAL, &n, NULL);
n.it_value.tv_sec = 0;
setitimer(ITIMER_VIRTUAL, &n, NULL);
}
Fix this with resetting the relevant base expiration. This is similar to
disarming a timer.

A timer deletion only dequeues the timer but it doesn't shutdown
the related costly process wide cputimer counter and the tick dependency.
The following code snippet keeps this overhead around for one week after
the timer deletion:
void trigger_process_counter(void)
{
timer_t id;
struct itimerspec val = { };
val.it_value.tv_sec = 604800;
timer_create(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID, NULL, &id);
timer_settime(id, 0, &val, NULL);
timer_delete(id);
}
Make sure the next target's tick recalculates the nearest expiration and
clears the process wide counter and tick dependency if necessary.

Starting the process wide cputime counter needs to be done in the same
sighand locking sequence than actually arming the related timer otherwise
this races against concurrent timers setting/expiring in the same
threadgroup.
Detecting that the cputime counter is started without holding the sighand
lock is a first step toward debugging such situations.

syzbot reported KCSAN data races vs. timer_base::timer_running being set to
NULL without holding base::lock in expire_timers().
This looks innocent and most reads are clearly not problematic, but
Frederic identified an issue which is:
int data = 0;
void timer_func(struct timer_list *t)
{
data = 1;
}
CPU 0 CPU 1
------------------------------ --------------------------
base = lock_timer_base(timer, &flags); raw_spin_unlock(&base->lock);
if (base->running_timer != timer) call_timer_fn(timer, fn, baseclk);
ret = detach_if_pending(timer, base, true); base->running_timer = NULL;
raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&base->lock, flags); raw_spin_lock(&base->lock);
x = data;
If the timer has previously executed on CPU 1 and then CPU 0 can observe
base->running_timer == NULL and returns, assuming the timer has completed,
but it's not guaranteed on all architectures. The comment for
del_timer_sync() makes that guarantee. Moving the assignment under
base->lock prevents this.
For non-RT kernel it's performance wise completely irrelevant whether the
store happens before or after taking the lock. For an RT kernel moving the
store under the lock requires an extra unlock/lock pair in the case that
there is a waiter for the timer, but that's not the end of the world.
