alarmtimer: Lock k_itimer during timer callback

2014-11-05T20:27:43Z

commit 474e941bed9262f5fa2394f9a4a67e24499e5926 upstream. Locks the k_itimer's it_lock member when handling the alarm timer's expiry callback. The regular posix timers defined in posix-timers.c have this lock held during timout processing because their callbacks are routed through posix_timer_fn(). The alarm timers follow a different path, so they ought to grab the lock somewhere else.

alarmtimer: Do not signal SIGEV_NONE timers

2014-11-05T20:27:43Z

commit 265b81d23a46c39df0a735a3af4238954b41a4c2 upstream. Avoids sending a signal to alarm timers created with sigev_notify set to SIGEV_NONE by checking for that special case in the timeout callback. The regular posix timers avoid sending signals to SIGEV_NONE timers by not scheduling any callbacks for them in the first place. Although it would be possible to do something similar for alarm timers, it's simpler to handle this as a special case in the timeout. Prior to this patch, the alarm timer would ignore the sigev_notify value and try to deliver signals to the process anyway. Even worse, the sanity check for the value of sigev_signo is skipped when SIGEV_NONE was specified, so the signal number could be bogus. If sigev_signo was an unitialized value (as it often would be if SIGEV_NONE is used), then it's hard to predict which signal will be sent.

alarmtimer: Return relative times in timer_gettime

2014-11-05T20:27:43Z

commit e86fea764991e00a03ff1e56409ec9cacdbda4c9 upstream. Returns the time remaining for an alarm timer, rather than the time at which it is scheduled to expire. If the timer has already expired or it is not currently scheduled, the it_value's members are set to zero. This new behavior matches that of the other posix-timers and the POSIX specifications. This is a change in user-visible behavior, and may break existing applications. Hopefully, few users rely on the old incorrect behavior.

nohz: Fix another inconsistency between CONFIG_NO_HZ=n and nohz=off

2014-08-06T17:07:39Z

commit 0e576acbc1d9600cf2d9b4a141a2554639959d50 upstream. If CONFIG_NO_HZ=n tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() returns NSEC_PER_SEC/HZ. If CONFIG_NO_HZ=y and the nohz functionality is disabled via the command line option "nohz=off" or not enabled due to missing hardware support, then tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() returns 0. That happens because ts->sleep_length is never set in that case. Set it to NSEC_PER_SEC/HZ when the NOHZ mode is inactive.

alarmtimer: Fix bug where relative alarm timers were treated as absolute

2014-08-06T17:07:37Z

commit 16927776ae757d0d132bdbfabbfe2c498342bd59 upstream. Sharvil noticed with the posix timer_settime interface, using the CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM or CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM clockid, if the users tried to specify a relative time timer, it would incorrectly be treated as absolute regardless of the state of the flags argument. This patch corrects this, properly checking the absolute/relative flag, as well as adds further error checking that no invalid flag bits are set.

timekeeping: fix 32-bit overflow in get_monotonic_boottime

2014-04-01T23:59:00Z

fixed upstream in v3.6 by ec145babe754f9ea1079034a108104b6001e001c get_monotonic_boottime adds three nanonsecond values stored in longs, followed by an s64. If the long values are all close to 1e9 the first three additions can overflow and become negative when added to the s64. Cast the first value to s64 so that all additions are 64 bit.

time: Fix overflow when HZ is smaller than 60

2014-04-01T23:58:49Z

commit 80d767d770fd9c697e434fd080c2db7b5c60c6dd upstream. When compiling for the IA-64 ski emulator, HZ is set to 32 because the emulation is slow and we don't want to waste too many cycles processing timers. Alpha also has an option to set HZ to 32. This causes integer underflow in kernel/time/jiffies.c: kernel/time/jiffies.c:66:2: warning: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type [-Woverflow] .mult = NSEC_PER_JIFFY << JIFFIES_SHIFT, /* details above */ ^ This patch reduces the JIFFIES_SHIFT value to avoid the overflow.

alarmtimer: return EINVAL instead of ENOTSUPP if rtcdev doesn't exist

2014-01-03T04:33:15Z

commit 98d6f4dd84a134d942827584a3c5f67ffd8ec35f upstream. Fedora Ruby maintainer reported latest Ruby doesn't work on Fedora Rawhide on ARM. (http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9008) Because of, commit 1c6b39ad3f (alarmtimers: Return -ENOTSUPP if no RTC device is present) intruduced to return ENOTSUPP when clock_get{time,res} can't find a RTC device. However this is incorrect. First, ENOTSUPP isn't exported to userland (ENOTSUP or EOPNOTSUP are the closest userland equivlents). Second, Posix and Linux man pages agree that clock_gettime and clock_getres should return EINVAL if clk_id argument is invalid. While the arugment that the clockid is valid, but just not supported on this hardware could be made, this is just a technicality that doesn't help userspace applicaitons, and only complicates error handling. Thus, this patch changes the code to use EINVAL.

tick: Cleanup NOHZ per cpu data on cpu down

2013-05-30T13:34:56Z

commit 4b0c0f294f60abcdd20994a8341a95c8ac5eeb96 upstream. Prarit reported a crash on CPU offline/online. The reason is that on CPU down the NOHZ related per cpu data of the dead cpu is not cleaned up. If at cpu online an interrupt happens before the per cpu tick device is registered the irq_enter() check potentially sees stale data and dereferences a NULL pointer. Cleanup the data after the cpu is dead.

clockevents: Set dummy handler on CPU_DEAD shutdown

2013-05-13T14:02:26Z

commit 6f7a05d7018de222e40ca003721037a530979974 upstream. Vitaliy reported that a per cpu HPET timer interrupt crashes the system during hibernation. What happens is that the per cpu HPET timer gets shut down when the nonboot cpus are stopped. When the nonboot cpus are onlined again the HPET code sets up the MSI interrupt which fires before the clock event device is registered. The event handler is still set to hrtimer_interrupt, which then crashes the machine due to highres mode not being active. See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=700333 There is no real good way to avoid that in the HPET code. The HPET code alrady has a mechanism to detect spurious interrupts when event handler == NULL for a similar reason. We can handle that in the clockevent/tick layer and replace the previous functional handler with a dummy handler like we do in tick_setup_new_device(). The original clockevents code did this in clockevents_exchange_device(), but that got removed by commit 7c1e76897 (clockevents: prevent clockevent event_handler ending up handler_noop) which forgot to fix it up in tick_shutdown(). Same issue with the broadcast device. Reported-by: Vitaliy Fillipov Cc: Ben Hutchings Cc: 700333@bugs.debian.org Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings
