[ Upstream commit a33121e5487b424339636b25c35d3a180eaa5f5e ]

In a case when a ptp chardev (like /dev/ptp0) is open but an underlying
device is removed, closing this file leads to a race. This reproduces
easily in a kvm virtual machine:

ts# cat openptp0.c
int main() { ... fp = fopen("/dev/ptp0", "r"); ... sleep(10); }
ts# uname -r
5.5.0-rc3-46cf053e
ts# cat /proc/cmdline
... slub_debug=FZP
ts# modprobe ptp_kvm
ts# ./openptp0 &amp;
[1] 670
opened /dev/ptp0, sleeping 10s...
ts# rmmod ptp_kvm
ts# ls /dev/ptp*
ls: cannot access '/dev/ptp*': No such file or directory
ts# ...woken up

This happens in:

static void __fput(struct file *file)
{   ...
    if (file-&gt;f_op-&gt;release)
        file-&gt;f_op-&gt;release(inode, file); &lt;&lt;&lt; cdev is kfree'd here
    if (unlikely(S_ISCHR(inode-&gt;i_mode) &amp;&amp; inode-&gt;i_cdev != NULL &amp;&amp;
             !(mode &amp; FMODE_PATH))) {
        cdev_put(inode-&gt;i_cdev); &lt;&lt;&lt; cdev fields are accessed here

Namely:

__fput()
  posix_clock_release()
    kref_put(&amp;clk-&gt;kref, delete_clock) &lt;&lt;&lt; the last reference
      delete_clock()
        delete_ptp_clock()
          kfree(ptp) &lt;&lt;&lt; cdev is embedded in ptp
  cdev_put
    module_put(p-&gt;owner) &lt;&lt;&lt; *p is kfree'd, bang!

Here cdev is embedded in posix_clock which is embedded in ptp_clock.
The race happens because ptp_clock's lifetime is controlled by two
refcounts: kref and cdev.kobj in posix_clock. This is wrong.

Make ptp_clock's sysfs device a parent of cdev with cdev_device_add()
created especially for such cases. This way the parent device with its
ptp_clock is not released until all references to the cdev are released.
This adds a requirement that an initialized but not exposed struct
device should be provided to posix_clock_register() by a caller instead
of a simple dev_t.

This approach was adopted from the commit 72139dfa2464 ("watchdog: Fix
the race between the release of watchdog_core_data and cdev"). See
details of the implementation in the commit 233ed09d7fda ("chardev: add
helper function to register char devs with a struct device").

commit 56144737e67329c9aaed15f942d46a6302e2e3d8 upstream.

syzbot reported various data-race caused by hrtimer_is_queued() reading
timer-&gt;state. A READ_ONCE() is required there to silence the warning.

Also add the corresponding WRITE_ONCE() when timer-&gt;state is set.

In remove_hrtimer() the hrtimer_is_queued() helper is open coded to avoid
loading timer-&gt;state twice.

KCSAN reported these cases:

commit 7b8474466ed97be458c825f34a85f2c2b84c3f95 upstream.

On compat interfaces, the high order bits of nanoseconds should be zeroed
out. This is because the application code or the libc do not guarantee
zeroing of these. If used without zeroing, kernel might be at risk of using
timespec values incorrectly.

Originally it was handled correctly, but lost during is_compat_syscall()
cleanup. Revert the condition back to check CONFIG_64BIT.

A cast to 'time_t' was accidentally left in place during the
conversion of __do_adjtimex() to 64-bit timestamps, so the
resulting value is incorrectly truncated.

Remove the cast so the 64-bit time gets propagated correctly.

<title>timekeeping/vsyscall: Update VDSO data unconditionally</title>

<id>urn:sha1:52338415cf4d4064ae6b8dd972dadbda841da4fa</id>
<content type='text'>
The update of the VDSO data is depending on __arch_use_vsyscall() returning
True. This is a leftover from the attempt to map the features of various
architectures 1:1 into generic code.

The usage of __arch_use_vsyscall() in the actual vsyscall implementations
got dropped and replaced by the requirement for the architecture code to
return U64_MAX if the global clocksource is not usable in the VDSO.

But the __arch_use_vsyscall() check in the update code stayed which causes
the VDSO data to be stale or invalid when an architecture actually
implements that function and returns False when the current clocksource is
not usable in the VDSO.

As a consequence the VDSO implementations of clock_getres(), time(),
clock_gettime(CLOCK_.*_COARSE) operate on invalid data and return bogus
information.

Remove the __arch_use_vsyscall() check from the VDSO update function and
update the VDSO data unconditionally.

<title>hrtimer: Annotate lockless access to timer-&gt;base</title>

<content type='text'>
Followup to commit dd2261ed45aa ("hrtimer: Protect lockless access
to timer-&gt;base")

lock_hrtimer_base() fetches timer-&gt;base without lock exclusion.

Compiler is allowed to read timer-&gt;base twice (even if considered dumb)
which could end up trying to lock migration_base and return
&amp;migration_base.

  base = timer-&gt;base;
  if (likely(base != &amp;migration_base)) {

       /* compiler reads timer-&gt;base again, and now (base == &amp;migration_base)

       raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&amp;base-&gt;cpu_base-&gt;lock, *flags);
       if (likely(base == timer-&gt;base))
            return base; /* == &amp;migration_base ! */

Similarly the write sides must use WRITE_ONCE() to avoid store tearing.

<content type='text'>
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(&amp;tick_broadcast_lock);

      dev-&gt;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(&amp;tick_broadcast_lock);

    if (dev-&gt;next_event == KTIME_MAX)
      return HRTIMER_NORESTART
    // callback function exits without
       restarting the hrtimer                      //tick_broadcast_lock acquired
                                                   raw_spin_lock(&amp;tick_broadcast_lock);

                                                   tick_broadcast_set_event()

                                                     clockevents_program_event()

                                                       dev-&gt;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-&gt;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.
