nohz: Fix local_timer_softirq_pending()

2018-08-09T10:19:27Z

commit 80d20d35af1edd632a5e7a3b9c0ab7ceff92769e upstream. local_timer_softirq_pending() checks whether the timer softirq is pending with: local_softirq_pending() & TIMER_SOFTIRQ. This is wrong because TIMER_SOFTIRQ is the softirq number and not a bitmask. So the test checks for the wrong bit. Use BIT(TIMER_SOFTIRQ) instead.

time: Make sure jiffies_to_msecs() preserves non-zero time periods

2018-07-03T09:21:30Z

commit abcbcb80cd09cd40f2089d912764e315459b71f7 upstream. For the common cases where 1000 is a multiple of HZ, or HZ is a multiple of 1000, jiffies_to_msecs() never returns zero when passed a non-zero time period. However, if HZ > 1000 and not an integer multiple of 1000 (e.g. 1024 or 1200, as used on alpha and DECstation), jiffies_to_msecs() may return zero for small non-zero time periods. This may break code that relies on receiving back a non-zero value. jiffies_to_usecs() does not need such a fix: one jiffy can only be less than one µs if HZ > 1000000, and such large values of HZ are already rejected at build time, twice: - include/linux/jiffies.h does #error if HZ >= 12288, - kernel/time/time.c has BUILD_BUG_ON(HZ > USEC_PER_SEC). Broken since forever.

time: Fix CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW sub-nanosecond accounting

2018-05-26T06:49:00Z

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.

tick/broadcast: Use for_each_cpu() specially on UP kernels

2018-05-26T06:48:56Z

commit 5596fe34495cf0f645f417eb928ef224df3e3cb4 upstream. for_each_cpu() unintuitively reports CPU0 as set independent of the actual cpumask content on UP kernels. This causes an unexpected PIT interrupt storm on a UP kernel running in an SMP virtual machine on Hyper-V, and as a result, the virtual machine can suffer from a strange random delay of 1~20 minutes during boot-up, and sometimes it can hang forever. Protect if by checking whether the cpumask is empty before entering the for_each_cpu() loop.

time: Change posix clocks ops interfaces to use timespec64

2018-03-24T09:58:40Z

[ Upstream commit d340266e19ddb70dbd608f9deedcfb35fdb9d419 ] struct timespec is not y2038 safe on 32 bit machines. The posix clocks apis use struct timespec directly and through struct itimerspec. Replace the posix clock interfaces to use struct timespec64 and struct itimerspec64 instead. Also fix up their implementations accordingly. Note that the clock_getres() interface has also been changed to use timespec64 even though this particular interface is not affected by the y2038 problem. This helps verification for internal kernel code for y2038 readiness by getting rid of time_t/ timeval/ timespec.

sysrq: Reset the watchdog timers while displaying high-resolution timers

2018-03-22T08:23:21Z

[ Upstream commit 0107042768658fea9f5f5a9c00b1c90f5dab6a06 ] On systems with a large number of CPUs, running sysrq- can cause watchdog timeouts. There are two slow sections of code in the sysrq- path in timer_list.c. 1. print_active_timers() - This function is called by print_cpu() and contains a slow goto loop. On a machine with hundreds of CPUs, this loop took approximately 100ms for the first CPU in a NUMA node. (Subsequent CPUs in the same node ran much quicker.) The total time to print all of the CPUs is ultimately long enough to trigger the soft lockup watchdog. 2. print_tickdevice() - This function outputs a large amount of textual information. This function also took approximately 100ms per CPU. Since sysrq- is not a performance critical path, there should be no harm in touching the nmi watchdog in both slow sections above. Touching it in just one location was insufficient on systems with hundreds of CPUs as occasional timeouts were still observed during testing. This issue was observed on an Oracle T7 machine with 128 CPUs, but I anticipate it may affect other systems with similarly large numbers of CPUs.

timers, sched_clock: Update timeout for clock wrap

2018-03-22T08:23:21Z

[ Upstream commit 1b8955bc5ac575009835e371ae55e7f3af2197a9 ] The scheduler clock framework may not use the correct timeout for the clock wrap. This happens when a new clock driver calls sched_clock_register() after the kernel called sched_clock_postinit(). In this case the clock wrap timeout is too long thus sched_clock_poll() is called too late and the clock already wrapped. On my ARM system the scheduler was no longer scheduling any other task than the idle task because the sched_clock() wrapped.

hrtimer: Ensure POSIX compliance (relative CLOCK_REALTIME hrtimers)

2018-03-03T09:19:41Z

commit 48d0c9becc7f3c66874c100c126459a9da0fdced upstream. The POSIX specification defines that relative CLOCK_REALTIME timers are not affected by clock modifications. Those timers have to use CLOCK_MONOTONIC to ensure POSIX compliance. The introduction of the additional HRTIMER_MODE_PINNED mode broke this requirement for pinned timers. There is no user space visible impact because user space timers are not using pinned mode, but for consistency reasons this needs to be fixed. Check whether the mode has the HRTIMER_MODE_REL bit set instead of comparing with HRTIMER_MODE_ABS.

posix-timer: Properly check sigevent->sigev_notify

2018-02-16T19:09:40Z

commit cef31d9af908243421258f1df35a4a644604efbe upstream. timer_create() specifies via sigevent->sigev_notify the signal delivery for the new timer. The valid modes are SIGEV_NONE, SIGEV_SIGNAL, SIGEV_THREAD and (SIGEV_SIGNAL | SIGEV_THREAD_ID). The sanity check in good_sigevent() is only checking the valid combination for the SIGEV_THREAD_ID bit, i.e. SIGEV_SIGNAL, but if SIGEV_THREAD_ID is not set it accepts any random value. This has no real effects on the posix timer and signal delivery code, but it affects show_timer() which handles the output of /proc/$PID/timers. That function uses a string array to pretty print sigev_notify. The access to that array has no bound checks, so random sigev_notify cause access beyond the array bounds. Add proper checks for the valid notify modes and remove the SIGEV_THREAD_ID masking from various code pathes as SIGEV_NONE can never be set in combination with SIGEV_THREAD_ID.

hrtimer: Reset hrtimer cpu base proper on CPU hotplug

2018-01-31T11:06:12Z

commit d5421ea43d30701e03cadc56a38854c36a8b4433 upstream. The hrtimer interrupt code contains a hang detection and mitigation mechanism, which prevents that a long delayed hrtimer interrupt causes a continous retriggering of interrupts which prevent the system from making progress. If a hang is detected then the timer hardware is programmed with a certain delay into the future and a flag is set in the hrtimer cpu base which prevents newly enqueued timers from reprogramming the timer hardware prior to the chosen delay. The subsequent hrtimer interrupt after the delay clears the flag and resumes normal operation. If such a hang happens in the last hrtimer interrupt before a CPU is unplugged then the hang_detected flag is set and stays that way when the CPU is plugged in again. At that point the timer hardware is not armed and it cannot be armed because the hang_detected flag is still active, so nothing clears that flag. As a consequence the CPU does not receive hrtimer interrupts and no timers expire on that CPU which results in RCU stalls and other malfunctions. Clear the flag along with some other less critical members of the hrtimer cpu base to ensure starting from a clean state when a CPU is plugged in. Thanks to Paul, Sebastian and Anna-Maria for their help to get down to the root cause of that hard to reproduce heisenbug. Once understood it's trivial and certainly justifies a brown paperbag.
