timers: Lock base for same bucket optimization

2016-11-10T15:38:48Z

commit 4da9152a4308dcbf611cde399c695c359fc9145f upstream. Linus stumbled over the unlocked modification of the timer expiry value in mod_timer() which is an optimization for timers which stay in the same bucket - due to the bucket granularity - despite their expiry time getting updated. The optimization itself still makes sense even if we take the lock, because in case that the bucket stays the same, we avoid the pointless queue/enqueue dance. Make the check and the modification of timer->expires protected by the base lock and shuffle the remaining code around so we can keep the lock held when we actually have to requeue the timer to a different bucket.

timers: Plug locking race vs. timer migration

2016-11-10T15:38:48Z

commit b831275a3553c32091222ac619cfddd73a5553fb upstream. Linus noticed that lock_timer_base() lacks a READ_ONCE() for accessing the timer flags. As a consequence the compiler is allowed to reload the flags between the initial check for TIMER_MIGRATION and the following timer base computation and the spin lock of the base. While this has not been observed (yet), we need to make sure that it never happens.

timers: Prevent base clock corruption when forwarding

2016-11-10T15:38:48Z

commit 6bad6bccf2d717f652d37e63cf261eaa23466009 upstream. When a timer is enqueued we try to forward the timer base clock. This mechanism has two issues: 1) Forwarding a remote base unlocked The forwarding function is called from get_target_base() with the current timer base lock held. But if the new target base is a different base than the current base (can happen with NOHZ, sigh!) then the forwarding is done on an unlocked base. This can lead to corruption of base->clk. Solution is simple: Invoke the forwarding after the target base is locked. 2) Possible corruption due to jiffies advancing This is similar to the issue in get_net_timer_interrupt() which was fixed in the previous patch. jiffies can advance between check and assignement and therefore advancing base->clk beyond the next expiry value. So we need to read jiffies into a local variable once and do the checks and assignment with the local copy.

timers: Prevent base clock rewind when forwarding clock

2016-11-10T15:38:48Z

commit 041ad7bc758db259bb960ef795197dd14aab19a6 upstream. Ashton and Michael reported, that kernel versions 4.8 and later suffer from USB timeouts which are caused by the timer wheel rework. This is caused by a bug in the base clock forwarding mechanism, which leads to timers expiring early. The scenario which leads to this is: run_timers() while (jiffies >= base->clk) { collect_expired_timers(); base->clk++; expire_timers(); } So base->clk = jiffies + 1. Now the cpu goes idle: idle() get_next_timer_interrupt() nextevt = __next_time_interrupt(); if (time_after(nextevt, base->clk)) base->clk = jiffies; jiffies has not advanced since run_timers(), so this assignment effectively decrements base->clk by one. base->clk is the index into the timer wheel arrays. So let's assume the following state after the base->clk increment in run_timers(): jiffies = 0 base->clk = 1 A timer gets enqueued with an expiry delta of 63 ticks (which is the case with the USB timeout and HZ=250) so the resulting bucket index is: base->clk + delta = 1 + 63 = 64 The timer goes into the first wheel level. The array size is 64 so it ends up in bucket 0, which is correct as it takes 63 ticks to advance base->clk to index into bucket 0 again. If the cpu goes idle before jiffies advance, then the bug in the forwarding mechanism sets base->clk back to 0, so the next invocation of run_timers() at the next tick will index into bucket 0 and therefore expire the timer 62 ticks too early. Instead of blindly setting base->clk to jiffies we must make the forwarding conditional on jiffies > base->clk, but we cannot use jiffies for this as we might run into the following issue: if (time_after(jiffies, base->clk) { if (time_after(nextevt, base->clk)) base->clk = jiffies; jiffies can increment between the check and the assigment far enough to advance beyond nextevt. So we need to use a stable value for checking. get_next_timer_interrupt() has the basej argument which is the jiffies value snapshot taken in the calling code. So we can just that. Thanks to Ashton for bisecting and providing trace data!

timekeeping: Fix __ktime_get_fast_ns() regression

2016-10-16T16:03:38Z

commit 58bfea9532552d422bde7afa207e1a0f08dffa7d upstream. 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.

Thanks to Brendan and Alexei for finding this quickly after the v4.8 release. Unfortunately the problematic commit has landed in some -stable trees so they'll need this fix as well. Many apologies for this mistake. I'll be looking to add a perf-clock sanity test to the kselftest timers tests soon.

tick/nohz: Fix softlockup on scheduler stalls in kvm guest

2016-09-02T08:25:40Z

tick_nohz_start_idle() is prevented to be called if the idle tick can't be stopped since commit 1f3b0f8243cb934 ("tick/nohz: Optimize nohz idle enter"). As a result, after suspend/resume the host machine, full dynticks kvm guest will softlockup: NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 26s!

timekeeping: Cap array access in timekeeping_debug

2016-08-24T07:34:32Z

It was reported that hibernation could fail on the 2nd attempt, where the system hangs at hibernate() -> syscore_resume() -> i8237A_resume() -> claim_dma_lock(), because the lock has already been taken. However there is actually no other process would like to grab this lock on that problematic platform. Further investigation showed that the problem is triggered by setting /sys/power/pm_trace to 1 before the 1st hibernation. Since once pm_trace is enabled, the rtc becomes unmeaningful after suspend, and meanwhile some BIOSes would like to adjust the 'invalid' RTC (e.g, smaller than 1970) to the release date of that motherboard during POST stage, thus after resumed, it may seem that the system had a significant long sleep time which is a completely meaningless value. Then in timekeeping_resume -> tk_debug_account_sleep_time, if the bit31 of the sleep time happened to be set to 1, fls() returns 32 and we add 1 to sleep_time_bin[32], which causes an out of bounds array access and therefor memory being overwritten. As depicted by System.map: 0xffffffff81c9d080 b sleep_time_bin 0xffffffff81c9d100 B dma_spin_lock the dma_spin_lock.val is set to 1, which caused this problem. This patch adds a sanity check in tk_debug_account_sleep_time() to ensure we don't index past the sleep_time_bin array.

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.

timers: Fix get_next_timer_interrupt() computation

2016-08-09T07:31:55Z

The tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() routine is not properly canceling the sched timer when nothing is pending, because get_next_timer_interrupt() is no longer returning KTIME_MAX in that case. This causes periodic interrupts when none are needed. When determining the next interrupt time, we first use __next_timer_interrupt() to get the first expiring timer in the timer wheel. If no timer is found, we return the base clock value plus NEXT_TIMER_MAX_DELTA to indicate there is no timer in the timer wheel. Back in get_next_timer_interrupt(), we set the "expires" value by converting the timer wheel expiry (in ticks) to a nsec value. But we don't want to do this if the timer wheel expiry value indicates no timer; we want to return KTIME_MAX. Prior to commit 500462a9de65 ("timers: Switch to a non-cascading wheel") we checked base->active_timers to see if any timers were active, and if not, we didn't touch the expiry value and so properly returned KTIME_MAX. Now we don't have active_timers. To fix this, we now just check the timer wheel expiry value to see if it is "now + NEXT_TIMER_MAX_DELTA", and if it is, we don't try to compute a new value based on it, but instead simply let the KTIME_MAX value in expires remain.
