y2038: alarm: fix half-second cut-off

2019-11-25T20:52:35Z

Changing alarm_itimer accidentally broke the logic for arithmetic rounding of half seconds in the return code. Change it to a constant based on NSEC_PER_SEC, as suggested by Ben Hutchings.

y2038: itimer: change implementation to timespec64

2019-11-15T13:38:30Z

There is no 64-bit version of getitimer/setitimer since that is not actually needed. However, the implementation is built around the deprecated 'struct timeval' type. Change the code to use timespec64 internally to reduce the dependencies on timeval and associated helper functions. Minor adjustments in the code are needed to make the native and compat version work the same way, and to keep the range check working after the conversion. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

y2038: move itimer reset into itimer.c

2019-11-15T13:38:30Z

Preparing for a change to the itimer internals, stop using the do_setitimer() symbol and instead use a new higher-level interface. The do_getitimer()/do_setitimer functions can now be made static, allowing the compiler to potentially produce better object code. Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

y2038: use compat_{get,set}_itimer on alpha

2019-11-15T13:38:30Z

The itimer handling for the old alpha osf_setitimer/osf_getitimer system calls is identical to the compat version of getitimer/setitimer, so just use those directly. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

y2038: itimer: compat handling to itimer.c

2019-11-15T13:38:30Z

The structure is only used in one place, moving it there simplifies the interface and helps with later changes to this code. Rename it to match the other time32 structures in the process. Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

posix-cpu-timers: Switch thread group sampling to array

itimers: Use quick sample function

2019-08-28T09:50:26Z

get_itimer() locks sighand lock and checks whether the timer is already expired. If it is not expired then the thread group cputime accounting is already enabled. Use the sampling function not the one which is meant for starting a timer.

itimers: Prepare for PREEMPT_RT

2019-08-01T18:51:24Z

Use the hrtimer_cancel_wait_running() synchronization mechanism to prevent priority inversion and live locks on PREEMPT_RT. As a benefit the retry loop gains the missing cpu_relax() on !RT.

Remove the pointless filenames in the top level comments. They have no value at all and just occupy space. While at it tidy up some of the comments and remove a stale one.

pid: Implement PIDTYPE_TGID

2018-07-21T15:43:12Z

Everywhere except in the pid array we distinguish between a tasks pid and a tasks tgid (thread group id). Even in the enumeration we want that distinction sometimes so we have added __PIDTYPE_TGID. With leader_pid we almost have an implementation of PIDTYPE_TGID in struct signal_struct. Add PIDTYPE_TGID as a first class member of the pid_type enumeration and into the pids array. Then remove the __PIDTYPE_TGID special case and the leader_pid in signal_struct. The net size increase is just an extra pointer added to struct pid and an extra pair of pointers of an hlist_node added to task_struct. The effect on code maintenance is the removal of a number of special cases today and the potential to remove many more special cases as PIDTYPE_TGID gets used to it's fullest. The long term potential is allowing zombie thread group leaders to exit, which will remove a lot more special cases in the code. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman"
