tick/nohz: Use WARN_ON_ONCE() to prevent console saturation

2022-04-20T07:19:39Z

commit 40e97e42961f8c6cc7bd5fe67cc18417e02d78f1 upstream. While running some testing on code that happened to allow the variable tick_nohz_full_running to get set but with no "possible" NOHZ cores to back up that setting, this warning triggered: if (unlikely(tick_do_timer_cpu == TICK_DO_TIMER_NONE)) WARN_ON(tick_nohz_full_running); The console was overwhemled with an endless stream of one WARN per tick per core and there was no way to even see what was going on w/o using a serial console to capture it and then trace it back to this. Change it to WARN_ON_ONCE().

timekeeping: Really make sure wall_to_monotonic isn't positive

2021-12-22T08:29:39Z

commit 4e8c11b6b3f0b6a283e898344f154641eda94266 upstream. Even after commit e1d7ba873555 ("time: Always make sure wall_to_monotonic isn't positive") it is still possible to make wall_to_monotonic positive by running the following code: int main(void) { struct timespec time; clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &time); time.tv_nsec = 0; clock_settime(CLOCK_REALTIME, &time); return 0; } The reason is that the second parameter of timespec64_compare(), ts_delta, may be unnormalized because the delta is calculated with an open coded substraction which causes the comparison of tv_sec to yield the wrong result: wall_to_monotonic = { .tv_sec = -10, .tv_nsec = 900000000 } ts_delta = { .tv_sec = -9, .tv_nsec = -900000000 } That makes timespec64_compare() claim that wall_to_monotonic < ts_delta, but actually the result should be wall_to_monotonic > ts_delta. After normalization, the result of timespec64_compare() is correct because the tv_sec comparison is not longer misleading: wall_to_monotonic = { .tv_sec = -10, .tv_nsec = 900000000 } ts_delta = { .tv_sec = -10, .tv_nsec = 100000000 } Use timespec64_sub() to ensure that ts_delta is normalized, which fixes the issue.

Revert "posix-cpu-timers: Force next expiration recalc after itimer reset"

2021-09-16T10:56:13Z

This reverts commit c322a963d522e9a4273e18c9d7bd6fd40a25160f which is commit 406dd42bd1ba0c01babf9cde169bb319e52f6147 upstream. It is reported to cause regressions. A proposed fix has been posted, but it is not in a released kernel yet. So just revert this from the stable release so that the bug is fixed. If it's really needed we can add it back in in a future release. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/87ilz1pwaq.fsf@wylie.me.uk Reported-by: "Alan J.

hrtimer: Ensure timerfd notification for HIGHRES=n

2021-09-15T07:47:26Z

[ Upstream commit 8c3b5e6ec0fee18bc2ce38d1dfe913413205f908 ] If high resolution timers are disabled the timerfd notification about a clock was set event is not happening for all cases which use clock_was_set_delayed() because that's a NOP for HIGHRES=n, which is wrong. Make clock_was_set_delayed() unconditially available to fix that. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210713135158.196661266@linutronix.de Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

hrtimer: Avoid double reprogramming in __hrtimer_start_range_ns()

2021-09-15T07:47:26Z

[ Upstream commit 627ef5ae2df8eeccb20d5af0e4cfa4df9e61ed28 ] If __hrtimer_start_range_ns() is invoked with an already armed hrtimer then the timer has to be canceled first and then added back. If the timer is the first expiring timer then on removal the clockevent device is reprogrammed to the next expiring timer to avoid that the pending expiry fires needlessly. If the new expiry time ends up to be the first expiry again then the clock event device has to reprogrammed again. Avoid this by checking whether the timer is the first to expire and in that case, keep the timer on the current CPU and delay the reprogramming up to the point where the timer has been enqueued again.

posix-cpu-timers: Force next expiration recalc after itimer reset

2021-09-15T07:47:26Z

[ Upstream commit 406dd42bd1ba0c01babf9cde169bb319e52f6147 ] When an itimer deactivates a previously armed expiration, it simply doesn't do anything. As a result the process wide cputime counter keeps running and the tick dependency stays set until it reaches the old ghost expiration value. This can be reproduced with the following snippet: void trigger_process_counter(void) { struct itimerval n = {}; n.it_value.tv_sec = 100; setitimer(ITIMER_VIRTUAL, &n, NULL); n.it_value.tv_sec = 0; setitimer(ITIMER_VIRTUAL, &n, NULL); } Fix this with resetting the relevant base expiration. This is similar to disarming a timer.

timers: Move clearing of base::timer_running under base:: Lock

2021-08-12T11:21:03Z

commit bb7262b295472eb6858b5c49893954794027cd84 upstream. syzbot reported KCSAN data races vs. timer_base::timer_running being set to NULL without holding base::lock in expire_timers(). This looks innocent and most reads are clearly not problematic, but Frederic identified an issue which is: int data = 0; void timer_func(struct timer_list *t) { data = 1; } CPU 0 CPU 1 ------------------------------ -------------------------- base = lock_timer_base(timer, &flags); raw_spin_unlock(&base->lock); if (base->running_timer != timer) call_timer_fn(timer, fn, baseclk); ret = detach_if_pending(timer, base, true); base->running_timer = NULL; raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&base->lock, flags); raw_spin_lock(&base->lock); x = data; If the timer has previously executed on CPU 1 and then CPU 0 can observe base->running_timer == NULL and returns, assuming the timer has completed, but it's not guaranteed on all architectures. The comment for del_timer_sync() makes that guarantee. Moving the assignment under base->lock prevents this. For non-RT kernel it's performance wise completely irrelevant whether the store happens before or after taking the lock. For an RT kernel moving the store under the lock requires an extra unlock/lock pair in the case that there is a waiter for the timer, but that's not the end of the world.

clocksource: Retry clock read if long delays detected

2021-07-14T14:53:18Z

[ Upstream commit db3a34e17433de2390eb80d436970edcebd0ca3e ] When the clocksource watchdog marks a clock as unstable, this might be due to that clock being unstable or it might be due to delays that happen to occur between the reads of the two clocks. Yes, interrupts are disabled across those two reads, but there are no shortage of things that can delay interrupts-disabled regions of code ranging from SMI handlers to vCPU preemption. It would be good to have some indication as to why the clock was marked unstable. Therefore, re-read the watchdog clock on either side of the read from the clock under test. If the watchdog clock shows an excessive time delta between its pair of reads, the reads are retried. The maximum number of retries is specified by a new kernel boot parameter clocksource.max_cswd_read_retries, which defaults to three, that is, up to four reads, one initial and up to three retries. If more than one retry was required, a message is printed on the console (the occasional single retry is expected behavior, especially in guest OSes). If the maximum number of retries is exceeded, the clock under test will be marked unstable. However, the probability of this happening due to various sorts of delays is quite small. In addition, the reason (clock-read delays) for the unstable marking will be apparent. Reported-by: Chris Mason Signed-off-by: Paul E.

posix-timers: Preserve return value in clock_adjtime32()

2021-05-11T12:04:04Z

commit 2d036dfa5f10df9782f5278fc591d79d283c1fad upstream. The return value on success (>= 0) is overwritten by the return value of put_old_timex32(). That works correct in the fault case, but is wrong for the success case where put_old_timex32() returns 0. Just check the return value of put_old_timex32() and return -EFAULT in case it is not zero.
