timekeeping: Really make sure wall_to_monotonic isn't positive

2021-12-22T08:05:14Z

commit 4e8c11b6b3f0b6a283e898344f154641eda94266 upstream. Even after commit e1d7ba873555 ("time: Always make sure wall_to_monotonic isn't positive") it is still possible to make wall_to_monotonic positive by running the following code: int main(void) { struct timespec time; clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &time); time.tv_nsec = 0; clock_settime(CLOCK_REALTIME, &time); return 0; } The reason is that the second parameter of timespec64_compare(), ts_delta, may be unnormalized because the delta is calculated with an open coded substraction which causes the comparison of tv_sec to yield the wrong result: wall_to_monotonic = { .tv_sec = -10, .tv_nsec = 900000000 } ts_delta = { .tv_sec = -9, .tv_nsec = -900000000 } That makes timespec64_compare() claim that wall_to_monotonic < ts_delta, but actually the result should be wall_to_monotonic > ts_delta. After normalization, the result of timespec64_compare() is correct because the tv_sec comparison is not longer misleading: wall_to_monotonic = { .tv_sec = -10, .tv_nsec = 900000000 } ts_delta = { .tv_sec = -10, .tv_nsec = 100000000 } Use timespec64_sub() to ensure that ts_delta is normalized, which fixes the issue.

timekeeping: Prevent 32bit truncation in scale64_check_overflow()

2020-10-01T18:40:09Z

[ Upstream commit 4cbbc3a0eeed675449b1a4d080008927121f3da3 ] While unlikely the divisor in scale64_check_overflow() could be >= 32bit in scale64_check_overflow(). do_div() truncates the divisor to 32bit at least on 32bit platforms. Use div64_u64() instead to avoid the truncation to 32-bit.

timekeeping: Use proper seqcount initializer

[ Upstream commit ce10a5b3954f2514af726beb78ed8d7350c5e41c ] tk_core.seq is initialized open coded, but that misses to initialize the lockdep map when lockdep is enabled. Lockdep splats involving tk_core seq consequently lack a name and are hard to read. Use the proper initializer which takes care of the lockdep map initialization.

time: Fix CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW sub-nanosecond accounting

2017-06-29T11:00:30Z

commit 3d88d56c5873f6eebe23e05c3da701960146b801 upstream. Due to how the MONOTONIC_RAW accumulation logic was handled, there is the potential for a 1ns discontinuity when we do accumulations. This small discontinuity has for the most part gone un-noticed, but since ARM64 enabled CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW in their vDSO clock_gettime implementation, we've seen failures with the inconsistency-check test in kselftest. This patch addresses the issue by using the same sub-ns accumulation handling that CLOCK_MONOTONIC uses, which avoids the issue for in-kernel users. Since the ARM64 vDSO implementation has its own clock_gettime calculation logic, this patch reduces the frequency of errors, but failures are still seen. The ARM64 vDSO will need to be updated to include the sub-nanosecond xtime_nsec values in its calculation for this issue to be completely fixed.

time: Fix clock->read(clock) race around clocksource changes

2017-06-29T11:00:30Z

commit ceea5e3771ed2378668455fa21861bead7504df5 upstream. In tests, which excercise switching of clocksources, a NULL pointer dereference can be observed on AMR64 platforms in the clocksource read() function: u64 clocksource_mmio_readl_down(struct clocksource *c) { return ~(u64)readl_relaxed(to_mmio_clksrc(c)->reg) & c->mask; } This is called from the core timekeeping code via: cycle_now = tkr->read(tkr->clock); tkr->read is the cached tkr->clock->read() function pointer. When the clocksource is changed then tkr->clock and tkr->read are updated sequentially. The code above results in a sequential load operation of tkr->read and tkr->clock as well. If the store to tkr->clock hits between the loads of tkr->read and tkr->clock, then the old read() function is called with the new clock pointer. As a consequence the read() function dereferences a different data structure and the resulting 'reg' pointer can point anywhere including NULL. This problem was introduced when the timekeeping code was switched over to use struct tk_read_base. Before that, it was theoretically possible as well when the compiler decided to reload clock in the code sequence: now = tk->clock->read(tk->clock); Add a helper function which avoids the issue by reading tk_read_base->clock once into a local variable clk and then issue the read function via clk->read(clk). This guarantees that the read() function always gets the proper clocksource pointer handed in. Since there is now no use for the tkr.read pointer, this patch also removes it, and to address stopping the fast timekeeper during suspend/resume, it introduces a dummy clocksource to use rather then just a dummy read function.

timekeeping_Force_unsigned_clocksource_to_nanoseconds_conversion

2017-01-09T07:32:17Z

commit 9c1645727b8fa90d07256fdfcc45bf831242a3ab upstream. The clocksource delta to nanoseconds conversion is using signed math, but the delta is unsigned. This makes the conversion space smaller than necessary and in case of a multiplication overflow the conversion can become negative. The conversion is done with scaled math: s64 nsec_delta = ((s64)clkdelta * clk->mult) >> clk->shift; Shifting a signed integer right obvioulsy preserves the sign, which has interesting consequences: - Time jumps backwards - __iter_div_u64_rem() which is used in one of the calling code pathes will take forever to piecewise calculate the seconds/nanoseconds part. This has been reported by several people with different scenarios: David observed that when stopping a VM with a debugger: "It was essentially the stopped by debugger case. I forget exactly why, but the guest was being explicitly stopped from outside, it wasn't just scheduling lag. I think it was something in the vicinity of 10 minutes stopped." When lifting the stop the machine went dead. The stopped by debugger case is not really interesting, but nevertheless it would be a good thing not to die completely. But this was also observed on a live system by Liav: "When the OS is too overloaded, delta will get a high enough value for the msb of the sum delta * tkr->mult + tkr->xtime_nsec to be set, and so after the shift the nsec variable will gain a value similar to 0xffffffffff000000." Unfortunately this has been reintroduced recently with commit 6bd58f09e1d8 ("time: Add cycles to nanoseconds translation"). It had been fixed a year ago already in commit 35a4933a8959 ("time: Avoid signed overflow in timekeeping_get_ns()"). Though it's not surprising that the issue has been reintroduced because the function itself and the whole call chain uses s64 for the result and the propagation of it. The change in this recent commit is subtle: s64 nsec; - nsec = (d * m + n) >> s: + nsec = d * m + n; + nsec >>= s; d being type of cycle_t adds another level of obfuscation. This wouldn't have happened if the previous change to unsigned computation would have made the 'nsec' variable u64 right away and a follow up patch had cleaned up the whole call chain. There have been patches submitted which basically did a revert of the above patch leaving everything else unchanged as signed. Back to square one. This spawned a admittedly pointless discussion about potential users which rely on the unsigned behaviour until someone pointed out that it had been fixed before. The changelogs of said patches added further confusion as they made finally false claims about the consequences for eventual users which expect signed results. Despite delta being cycle_t, aka. u64, it's very well possible to hand in a signed negative value and the signed computation will happily return the correct result. But nobody actually sat down and analyzed the code which was added as user after the propably unintended signed conversion. Though in sensitive code like this it's better to analyze it proper and make sure that nothing relies on this than hunting the subtle wreckage half a year later. After analyzing all call chains it stands that no caller can hand in a negative value (which actually would work due to the s64 cast) and rely on the signed math to do the right thing. Change the conversion function to unsigned math. The conversion of all call chains is done in a follow up patch. This solves the starvation issue, which was caused by the negative result, but it does not solve the underlying problem. It merily procrastinates it. When the timekeeper update is deferred long enough that the unsigned multiplication overflows, then time going backwards is observable again. It does neither solve the issue of clocksources with a small counter width which will wrap around possibly several times and cause random time stamps to be generated. But those are usually not found on systems used for virtualization, so this is likely a non issue. I took the liberty to claim authorship for this simply because analyzing all callsites and writing the changelog took substantially more time than just making the simple s/s64/u64/ change and ignore the rest.

timekeeping: Fix __ktime_get_fast_ns() regression

2016-10-05T13:44:46Z

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.

timekeeping: Avoid taking lock in NMI path with CONFIG_DEBUG_TIMEKEEPING

2016-08-24T07:34:31Z

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.
