commit e3ff9c3678b4d80e22d2557b68726174578eaf52 upstream.

Jason reported that the coarse ktime based time getters advance only once
per second and not once per tick as advertised.

The code reads only the monotonic base time, which advances once per
second. The nanoseconds are accumulated on every tick in xtime_nsec up to
a second and the regular time getters take this nanoseconds offset into
account, but the ktime_get_coarse*() implementation fails to do so.

Add the accumulated xtime_nsec value to the monotonic base time to get the
proper per tick advancing coarse tinme.

[ 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.

<title>timekeeping: Force upper bound for setting CLOCK_REALTIME</title>

<id>urn:sha1:dc0f37b780e97d45c580a7141f6ac06b1ea5ba07</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 7a8e61f8478639072d402a26789055a4a4de8f77 ]

Several people reported testing failures after setting CLOCK_REALTIME close
to the limits of the kernel internal representation in nanoseconds,
i.e. year 2262.

The failures are exposed in subsequent operations, i.e. when arming timers
or when the advancing CLOCK_MONOTONIC makes the calculation of
CLOCK_REALTIME overflow into negative space.

Now people start to paper over the underlying problem by clamping
calculations to the valid range, but that's just wrong because such
workarounds will prevent detection of real issues as well.

It is reasonable to force an upper bound for the various methods of setting
CLOCK_REALTIME. Year 2262 is the absolute upper bound. Assume a maximum
uptime of 30 years which is plenty enough even for esoteric embedded
systems. That results in an upper bound of year 2232 for setting the time.

Once that limit is reached in reality this limit is only a small part of
the problem space. But until then this stops people from trying to paper
over the problem at the wrong places.

<title>timers/sched_clock: Prevent generic sched_clock wrap caused by tick_freeze()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:cd37fd46b4857a787571c3153bfa64d0ae28a407</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 3f2552f7e9c5abef2775c53f7af66532f8bf65bc upstream.

tick_freeze() introduced by suspend-to-idle in commit 124cf9117c5f ("PM /
sleep: Make it possible to quiesce timers during suspend-to-idle") uses
timekeeping_suspend() instead of syscore_suspend() during
suspend-to-idle. As a consequence generic sched_clock will keep going
because sched_clock_suspend() and sched_clock_resume() are not invoked
during suspend-to-idle which can result in a generic sched_clock wrap.

On a ARM system with suspend-to-idle enabled, sched_clock is registered
as "56 bits at 13MHz, resolution 76ns, wraps every 4398046511101ns", which
means the real wrapping duration is 8796093022202ns.

[  134.551779] suspend-to-idle suspend (timekeeping_suspend())
[ 1204.912239] suspend-to-idle resume (timekeeping_resume())
......
[ 1206.912239] suspend-to-idle suspend (timekeeping_suspend())
[ 5880.502807] suspend-to-idle resume (timekeeping_resume())
......
[ 6000.403724] suspend-to-idle suspend (timekeeping_suspend())
[ 8035.753167] suspend-to-idle resume  (timekeeping_resume())
......
[ 8795.786684] (2)[321:charger_thread]......
[ 8795.788387] (2)[321:charger_thread]......
[    0.057226] (0)[0:swapper/0]......
[    0.061447] (2)[0:swapper/2]......

sched_clock was not stopped during suspend-to-idle, and sched_clock_poll
hrtimer was not expired because timekeeping_suspend() was invoked during
suspend-to-idle. It makes sched_clock wrap at kernel time 8796s.

To prevent this, invoke sched_clock_suspend() and sched_clock_resume() in
tick_freeze() together with timekeeping_suspend() and timekeeping_resume().

ktime_sub are swapped.

[ 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.

<content type='text'>
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-&gt;it_interval
being 0 now. What went unnoticed is that the posix cpu timer setup does not
initialize timer-&gt;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-&gt;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-&gt;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.

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.

I turns out that the silly spawn kthread from worker was actually needed.

clocksource_watchdog_kthread() cannot be called directly from
clocksource_watchdog_work(), because clocksource_select() calls
timekeeping_notify() which uses stop_machine(). One cannot use
stop_machine() from a workqueue() due lock inversions wrt CPU hotplug.

Revert the patch but add a comment that explain why we jump through such
apparently silly hoops.

Pull core signal handling updates from Eric Biederman:
 "It was observed that a periodic timer in combination with a
  sufficiently expensive fork could prevent fork from every completing.
  This contains the changes to remove the need for that restart.

  This set of changes is split into several parts:

   - The first part makes PIDTYPE_TGID a proper pid type instead
     something only for very special cases. The part starts using
     PIDTYPE_TGID enough so that in __send_signal where signals are
     actually delivered we know if the signal is being sent to a a group
     of processes or just a single process.

   - With that prep work out of the way the logic in fork is modified so
     that fork logically makes signals received while it is running
     appear to be received after the fork completes"
