posix-clocks: Rename the clock_get() callback to clock_get_timespec()

2020-01-14T11:20:49Z

The upcoming support for time namespaces requires to have access to: - The time in a task's time namespace for sys_clock_gettime() - The time in the root name space for common_timer_get() That adds a valid reason to finally implement a separate callback which returns the time in ktime_t format, rather than in (struct timespec). Rename the clock_get() callback to clock_get_timespec() as a preparation for introducing clock_get_ktime().

ptp: fix the race between the release of ptp_clock and cdev

2019-12-31T04:19:27Z

In a case when a ptp chardev (like /dev/ptp0) is open but an underlying device is removed, closing this file leads to a race. This reproduces easily in a kvm virtual machine: ts# cat openptp0.c int main() { ... fp = fopen("/dev/ptp0", "r"); ... sleep(10); } ts# uname -r 5.5.0-rc3-46cf053e ts# cat /proc/cmdline ... slub_debug=FZP ts# modprobe ptp_kvm ts# ./openptp0 & [1] 670 opened /dev/ptp0, sleeping 10s... ts# rmmod ptp_kvm ts# ls /dev/ptp* ls: cannot access '/dev/ptp*': No such file or directory ts# ...woken up [ 48.010809] general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP [ 48.012502] CPU: 6 PID: 658 Comm: openptp0 Not tainted 5.5.0-rc3-46cf053e #25 [ 48.014624] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), ...

Here cdev is embedded in posix_clock which is embedded in ptp_clock. The race happens because ptp_clock's lifetime is controlled by two refcounts: kref and cdev.kobj in posix_clock. This is wrong. Make ptp_clock's sysfs device a parent of cdev with cdev_device_add() created especially for such cases. This way the parent device with its ptp_clock is not released until all references to the cdev are released. This adds a requirement that an initialized but not exposed struct device should be provided to posix_clock_register() by a caller instead of a simple dev_t. This approach was adopted from the commit 72139dfa2464 ("watchdog: Fix the race between the release of watchdog_core_data and cdev"). See details of the implementation in the commit 233ed09d7fda ("chardev: add helper function to register char devs with a struct device").

timex: use __kernel_timex internally

2019-02-06T23:13:27Z

struct timex is not y2038 safe. Replace all uses of timex with y2038 safe __kernel_timex. Note that struct __kernel_timex is an ABI interface definition. We could define a new structure based on __kernel_timex that is only available internally instead. Right now, there isn't a strong motivation for this as the structure is isolated to a few defined struct timex interfaces and such a structure would be exactly the same as struct timex. The patch was generated by the following coccinelle script: virtual patch @depends on patch forall@ identifier ts; expression e; @@ ( - struct timex ts; + struct __kernel_timex ts; | - struct timex ts = {}; + struct __kernel_timex ts = {}; | - struct timex ts = e; + struct __kernel_timex ts = e; | - struct timex *ts; + struct __kernel_timex *ts; | (memset \| copy_from_user \| copy_to_user \)(..., - sizeof(struct timex)) + sizeof(struct __kernel_timex)) ) @depends on patch forall@ identifier ts; identifier fn; @@ fn(..., - struct timex *ts, + struct __kernel_timex *ts, ...) { ... } @depends on patch forall@ identifier ts; identifier fn; @@ fn(..., - struct timex *ts) { + struct __kernel_timex *ts) { ... } Signed-off-by: Deepa Dinamani Cc: linux-alpha@vger.kernel.org Cc: netdev@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

time: Add SPDX license identifiers

2018-11-23T10:51:20Z

Update the time(r) core files files with the correct SPDX license identifier based on the license text in the file itself. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This work is based on a script and data from Philippe Ombredanne, Kate Stewart and myself. The data has been created with two independent license scanners and manual inspection. The following files do not contain any direct license information and have been omitted from the big initial SPDX changes: timeconst.bc: The .bc files were not touched time.c, timer.c, timekeeping.c: Licence was deduced from EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL As those files do not contain direct license references they fall under the project license, i.e. GPL V2 only.

vfs: do bulk POLL* -> EPOLL* replacement

2018-02-11T22:34:03Z

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL* variables as described by Al, done by this script: for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'` for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^$[^\"]*$$\$/\\1E\\2/" $f; done done with de-mangling cleanups yet to come. NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same values as the POLL* constants do. But they keyword here is "almost". For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al. The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we should be all done. Scripted-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Merge branch 'misc.poll' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

2018-01-31T01:58:07Z

Pull poll annotations from Al Viro: "This introduces a __bitwise type for POLL### bitmap, and propagates the annotations through the tree. Most of that stuff is as simple as 'make ->poll() instances return __poll_t and do the same to local variables used to hold the future return value'. Some of the obvious brainos found in process are fixed (e.g. POLLIN misspelled as POLL_IN). At that point the amount of sparse warnings is low and most of them are for genuine bugs - e.g. ->poll() instance deciding to return -EINVAL instead of a bitmap. I hadn't touched those in this series - it's large enough as it is. Another problem it has caught was eventpoll() ABI mess; select.c and eventpoll.c assumed that corresponding POLL### and EPOLL### were equal. That's true for some, but not all of them - EPOLL### are arch-independent, but POLL### are not. The last commit in this series separates userland POLL### values from the (now arch-independent) kernel-side ones, converting between them in the few places where they are copied to/from userland. AFAICS, this is the least disruptive fix preserving poll(2) ABI and making epoll() work on all architectures. As it is, it's simply broken on sparc - try to give it EPOLLWRNORM and it will trigger only on what would've triggered EPOLLWRBAND on other architectures. EPOLLWRBAND and EPOLLRDHUP, OTOH, are never triggered at all on sparc.

posix-timers: Prevent UB from shifting negative signed value

2018-01-04T13:57:10Z

Shifting a negative signed number is undefined behavior. Looking at the macros MAKE_PROCESS_CPUCLOCK and FD_TO_CLOCKID, it seems that the subexpression: (~(clockid_t) (pid) << 3) where clockid_t resolves to a signed int, which once negated, is undefined behavior to shift the value of if the results thus far are negative. It was further suggested to make these macros into inline functions.
