tick: broadcast-hrtimer: Fix a race in bc_set_next

2019-10-11T16:18:46Z

[ Upstream commit b9023b91dd020ad7e093baa5122b6968c48cc9e0 ] When a cpu requests broadcasting, before starting the tick broadcast hrtimer, bc_set_next() checks if the timer callback (bc_handler) is active using hrtimer_try_to_cancel(). But hrtimer_try_to_cancel() does not provide the required synchronization when the callback is active on other core. The callback could have already executed tick_handle_oneshot_broadcast() and could have also returned. But still there is a small time window where the hrtimer_try_to_cancel() returns -1. In that case bc_set_next() returns without doing anything, but the next_event of the tick broadcast clock device is already set to a timeout value. In the race condition diagram below, CPU #1 is running the timer callback and CPU #2 is entering idle state and so calls bc_set_next(). In the worst case, the next_event will contain an expiry time, but the hrtimer will not be started which happens when the racing callback returns HRTIMER_NORESTART. The hrtimer might never recover if all further requests from the CPUs to subscribe to tick broadcast have timeout greater than the next_event of tick broadcast clock device. This leads to cascading of failures and finally noticed as rcu stall warnings Here is a depiction of the race condition CPU #1 (Running timer callback) CPU #2 (Enter idle and subscribe to tick broadcast) --------------------- --------------------- __run_hrtimer() tick_broadcast_enter() bc_handler() __tick_broadcast_oneshot_control() tick_handle_oneshot_broadcast() raw_spin_lock(&tick_broadcast_lock); dev->next_event = KTIME_MAX; //wait for tick_broadcast_lock //next_event for tick broadcast clock set to KTIME_MAX since no other cores subscribed to tick broadcasting raw_spin_unlock(&tick_broadcast_lock); if (dev->next_event == KTIME_MAX) return HRTIMER_NORESTART // callback function exits without restarting the hrtimer //tick_broadcast_lock acquired raw_spin_lock(&tick_broadcast_lock); tick_broadcast_set_event() clockevents_program_event() dev->next_event = expires; bc_set_next() hrtimer_try_to_cancel() //returns -1 since the timer callback is active. Exits without restarting the timer cpu_base->running = NULL; The comment that hrtimer cannot be armed from within the callback is wrong. It is fine to start the hrtimer from within the callback. Also it is safe to start the hrtimer from the enter/exit idle code while the broadcast handler is active. The enter/exit idle code and the broadcast handler are synchronized using tick_broadcast_lock. So there is no need for the existing try to cancel logic. All this can be removed which will eliminate the race condition as well.

timer: Read jiffies once when forwarding base clk

2019-10-11T16:18:34Z

commit e430d802d6a3aaf61bd3ed03d9404888a29b9bf9 upstream. The timer delayed for more than 3 seconds warning was triggered during testing. Workqueue: events_unbound sched_tick_remote RIP: 0010:sched_tick_remote+0xee/0x100 ... Call Trace: process_one_work+0x18c/0x3a0 worker_thread+0x30/0x380 kthread+0x113/0x130 ret_from_fork+0x22/0x40 The reason is that the code in collect_expired_timers() uses jiffies unprotected: if (next_event > jiffies) base->clk = jiffies; As the compiler is allowed to reload the value base->clk can advance between the check and the store and in the worst case advance farther than next event. That causes the timer expiry to be delayed until the wheel pointer wraps around.

alarmtimer: Use EOPNOTSUPP instead of ENOTSUPP

2019-10-05T10:48:08Z

commit f18ddc13af981ce3c7b7f26925f099e7c6929aba upstream. ENOTSUPP is not supposed to be returned to userspace. This was found on an OpenPower machine, where the RTC does not support set_alarm. On that system, a clock_nanosleep(CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM, ...) results in "524 Unknown error 524" Replace it with EOPNOTSUPP which results in the expected "95 Operation not supported" error.

ntp: Limit TAI-UTC offset

2019-07-31T05:28:27Z

[ Upstream commit d897a4ab11dc8a9fda50d2eccc081a96a6385998 ] Don't allow the TAI-UTC offset of the system clock to be set by adjtimex() to a value larger than 100000 seconds. This prevents an overflow in the conversion to int, prevents the CLOCK_TAI clock from getting too far ahead of the CLOCK_REALTIME clock, and it is still large enough to allow leap seconds to be inserted at the maximum rate currently supported by the kernel (once per day) for the next ~270 years, however unlikely it is that someone can survive a catastrophic event which slowed down the rotation of the Earth so much.

ntp: Allow TAI-UTC offset to be set to zero

2019-06-15T09:54:53Z

[ Upstream commit fdc6bae940ee9eb869e493990540098b8c0fd6ab ] The ADJ_TAI adjtimex mode sets the TAI-UTC offset of the system clock. It is typically set by NTP/PTP implementations and it is automatically updated by the kernel on leap seconds. The initial value is zero (which applications may interpret as unknown), but this value cannot be set by adjtimex. This limitation seems to go back to the original "nanokernel" implementation by David Mills. Change the ADJ_TAI check to accept zero as a valid TAI-UTC offset in order to allow setting it back to the initial value.

posix-cpu-timers: Unbreak timer rearming

2019-01-31T07:13:46Z

commit 93ad0fc088c5b4631f796c995bdd27a082ef33a6 upstream. The recent commit which prevented a division by 0 issue in the alarm timer code broke posix CPU timers as an unwanted side effect. The reason is that the common rearm code checks for timer->it_interval being 0 now. What went unnoticed is that the posix cpu timer setup does not initialize timer->it_interval as it stores the interval in CPU timer specific storage. The reason for the separate storage is historical as the posix CPU timers always had a 64bit nanoseconds representation internally while timer->it_interval is type ktime_t which used to be a modified timespec representation on 32bit machines. Instead of reverting the offending commit and fixing the alarmtimer issue in the alarmtimer code, store the interval in timer->it_interval at CPU timer setup time so the common code check works. This also repairs the existing inconistency of the posix CPU timer code which kept a single shot timer armed despite of the interval being 0. The separate storage can be removed in mainline, but that needs to be a separate commit as the current one has to be backported to stable kernels.

posix-timers: Fix division by zero bug

2018-12-29T12:39:09Z

commit 0e334db6bb4b1fd1e2d72c1f3d8f004313cd9f94 upstream. The signal delivery path of posix-timers can try to rearm the timer even if the interval is zero. That's handled for the common case (hrtimer) but not for alarm timers. In that case the forwarding function raises a division by zero exception. The handling for hrtimer based posix timers is wrong because it marks the timer as active despite the fact that it is stopped. Move the check from common_hrtimer_rearm() to posixtimer_rearm() to cure both issues.
