Air Icy reported:

  UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in kernel/time/alarmtimer.c:811:7

alarm_timer_nsleep() uses ktime_add() to add the current time and the
relative expiry value. ktime_add() has no sanity checks so the addition
can overflow when the relative timeout is large enough.

Use ktime_add_safe() which has the necessary sanity checks in place and
limits the result to the valid range.

<title>timers: Clear timer_base::must_forward_clk with timer_base::lock held</title>

<id>urn:sha1:05cb385f95f39151b47baa8cf8d486cba05354f5</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 363e934d8811d799c88faffc5bfca782fd728334 ]

timer_base::must_forward_clock is indicating that the base clock might be
stale due to a long idle sleep.

The forwarding of the base clock takes place in the timer softirq or when a
timer is enqueued to a base which is idle. If the enqueue of timer to an
idle base happens from a remote CPU, then the following race can happen:

  CPU0					CPU1
  run_timer_softirq			mod_timer

					base = lock_timer_base(timer);
  base-&gt;must_forward_clk = false
					if (base-&gt;must_forward_clk)
				       	    forward(base); -&gt; skipped

					enqueue_timer(base, timer, idx);
					-&gt; idx is calculated high due to
					   stale base
					unlock_timer_base(timer);
  base = lock_timer_base(timer);
  forward(base);

The root cause is that timer_base::must_forward_clk is cleared outside the
timer_base::lock held region, so the remote queuing CPU observes it as
cleared, but the base clock is still stale. This can cause large
granularity values for timers, i.e. the accuracy of the expiry time
suffers.

Prevent this by clearing the flag with timer_base::lock held, so that the
forwarding takes place before the cleared flag is observable by a remote
CPU.

commit 80d20d35af1edd632a5e7a3b9c0ab7ceff92769e upstream.

local_timer_softirq_pending() checks whether the timer softirq is
pending with: local_softirq_pending() &amp; 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.

<title>time: Make sure jiffies_to_msecs() preserves non-zero time periods</title>

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 &gt; 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 &gt; 1000000, and such large values of HZ are already
rejected at build time, twice:

  - include/linux/jiffies.h does #error if HZ &gt;= 12288,
  - kernel/time/time.c has BUILD_BUG_ON(HZ &gt; USEC_PER_SEC).

Broken since forever.

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.

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.

<title>sysrq: Reset the watchdog timers while displaying high-resolution timers</title>

[ Upstream commit 0107042768658fea9f5f5a9c00b1c90f5dab6a06 ]

On systems with a large number of CPUs, running sysrq-&lt;q&gt; can cause
watchdog timeouts.  There are two slow sections of code in the sysrq-&lt;q&gt;
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-&lt;q&gt; 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.

[ 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.

<title>timers: Forward timer base before migrating timers</title>

<content type='text'>
commit c52232a49e203a65a6e1a670cd5262f59e9364a0 upstream.

On CPU hotunplug the enqueued timers of the unplugged CPU are migrated to a
live CPU. This happens from the control thread which initiated the unplug.

If the CPU on which the control thread runs came out from a longer idle
period then the base clock of that CPU might be stale because the control
thread runs prior to any event which forwards the clock.

In such a case the timers from the unplugged CPU are queued on the live CPU
based on the stale clock which can cause large delays due to increased
granularity of the outer timer wheels which are far away from base:;clock.

But there is a worse problem than that. The following sequence of events
illustrates it:

 - CPU0 timer1 is queued expires = 59969 and base-&gt;clk = 59131.

   The timer is queued at wheel level 2, with resulting expiry time = 60032
   (due to level granularity).

 - CPU1 enters idle @60007, with next timer expiry @60020.

 - CPU0 is hotplugged at @60009

 - CPU1 exits idle and runs the control thread which migrates the
   timers from CPU0

   timer1 is now queued in level 0 for immediate handling in the next
   softirq because the requested expiry time 59969 is before CPU1 base-&gt;clk
   60007

 - CPU1 runs code which forwards the base clock which succeeds because the
   next expiring timer. which was collected at idle entry time is still set
   to 60020.

   So it forwards beyond 60007 and therefore misses to expire the migrated
   timer1. That timer gets expired when the wheel wraps around again, which
   takes between 63 and 630ms depending on the HZ setting.

Address both problems by invoking forward_timer_base() for the control CPUs
timer base. All other places, which might run into a similar problem
(mod_timer()/add_timer_on()) already invoke forward_timer_base() to avoid
that.

<content type='text'>
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.
