hrtimers: Replace hrtimer_clock_to_base_table with switch-case

2025-05-29T09:02:46Z

[ Upstream commit 4441b976dfeff0d3579e8da3c0283300c618a553 ] Clang and GCC complain about overlapped initialisers in the hrtimer_clock_to_base_table definition. With `make W=1` and CONFIG_WERROR=y (which is default nowadays) this breaks the build: CC kernel/time/hrtimer.o kernel/time/hrtimer.c:124:21: error: initializer overrides prior initialization of this subobject [-Werror,-Winitializer-overrides] 124 | [CLOCK_REALTIME] = HRTIMER_BASE_REALTIME, kernel/time/hrtimer.c:122:27: note: previous initialization is here 122 | [0 ... MAX_CLOCKS - 1] = HRTIMER_MAX_CLOCK_BASES, (and similar for CLOCK_MONOTONIC, CLOCK_BOOTTIME, and CLOCK_TAI). hrtimer_clockid_to_base(), which uses the table, is only used in __hrtimer_init(), which is not a hotpath. Therefore replace the table lookup with a switch case in hrtimer_clockid_to_base() to avoid this warning.

timer_list: Don't use %pK through printk()

2025-05-29T09:02:20Z

[ Upstream commit a52067c24ccf6ee4c85acffa0f155e9714f9adce ] This reverts commit f590308536db ("timer debug: Hide kernel addresses via %pK in /proc/timer_list") The timer list helper SEQ_printf() uses either the real seq_printf() for procfs output or vprintk() to print to the kernel log, when invoked from SysRq-q. It uses %pK for printing pointers. In the past %pK was prefered over %p as it would not leak raw pointer values into the kernel log. Since commit ad67b74d2469 ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p") the regular %p has been improved to avoid this issue. Furthermore, restricted pointers ("%pK") were never meant to be used through printk(). They can still unintentionally leak raw pointers or acquire sleeping looks in atomic contexts. Switch to the regular pointer formatting which is safer, easier to reason about and sufficient here.

posix-timers: Ensure that timer initialization is fully visible

2025-05-29T09:02:20Z

[ Upstream commit 2389c6efd3ad8edb3bcce0019b4edcc7d9c7de19 ] Frederic pointed out that the memory operations to initialize the timer are not guaranteed to be visible, when __lock_timer() observes timer::it_signal valid under timer::it_lock: T0 T1 --------- ----------- do_timer_create() // A new_timer->.... = .... spin_lock(current->sighand) // B WRITE_ONCE(new_timer->it_signal, current->signal) spin_unlock(current->sighand) sys_timer_*() t = __lock_timer() spin_lock(&timr->it_lock) // observes B if (timr->it_signal == current->signal) return timr; if (!t) return; // Is not guaranteed to observe A Protect the write of timer::it_signal, which makes the timer valid, with timer::it_lock as well. This guarantees that T1 must observe the initialization A completely, when it observes the valid signal pointer under timer::it_lock. sighand::siglock must still be taken to protect the signal::posix_timers list.

timekeeping: Add a lockdep override in tick_freeze()

[ Upstream commit 92e250c624ea37fde64bfd624fd2556f0d846f18 ] tick_freeze() acquires a raw spinlock (tick_freeze_lock). Later in the callchain (timekeeping_suspend() -> mc146818_avoid_UIP()) the RTC driver acquires a spinlock which becomes a sleeping lock on PREEMPT_RT. Lockdep complains about this lock nesting.

clocksource: Use migrate_disable() to avoid calling get_random_u32() in atomic context

2025-02-21T13:01:38Z

[ Upstream commit 6bb05a33337b2c842373857b63de5c9bf1ae2a09 ] The following bug report happened with a PREEMPT_RT kernel: BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/spinlock_rt.c:48 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 2012, name: kwatchdog preempt_count: 1, expected: 0 RCU nest depth: 0, expected: 0 get_random_u32+0x4f/0x110 clocksource_verify_choose_cpus+0xab/0x1a0 clocksource_verify_percpu.part.0+0x6b/0x330 clocksource_watchdog_kthread+0x193/0x1a0 It is due to the fact that clocksource_verify_choose_cpus() is invoked with preemption disabled. This function invokes get_random_u32() to obtain random numbers for choosing CPUs. The batched_entropy_32 local lock and/or the base_crng.lock spinlock in driver/char/random.c will be acquired during the call. In PREEMPT_RT kernel, they are both sleeping locks and so cannot be acquired in atomic context. Fix this problem by using migrate_disable() to allow smp_processor_id() to be reliably used without introducing atomic context. preempt_disable() is then called after clocksource_verify_choose_cpus() but before the clocksource measurement is being run to avoid introducing unexpected latency.

timers/migration: Fix off-by-one root mis-connection

2025-02-17T09:05:44Z

commit 868c9037df626b3c245ee26a290a03ae1f9f58d3 upstream. Before attaching a new root to the old root, the children counter of the new root is checked to verify that only the upcoming CPU's top group have been connected to it. However since the recently added commit b729cc1ec21a ("timers/migration: Fix another race between hotplug and idle entry/exit") this check is not valid anymore because the old root is pre-accounted as a child to the new root. Therefore after connecting the upcoming CPU's top group to the new root, the children count to be expected must be 2 and not 1 anymore. This omission results in the old root to not be connected to the new root. Then eventually the system may run with more than one top level, which defeats the purpose of a single idle migrator. Also the old root is pre-accounted but not connected upon the new root creation. But it can be connected to the new root later on. Therefore the old root may be accounted twice to the new root. The propagation of such overcommit can end up creating a double final top-level root with a groupmask incorrectly initialized. Although harmless given that the final top level roots will never have a parent to walk up to, this oddity opportunistically reported the core issue: WARNING: CPU: 8 PID: 0 at kernel/time/timer_migration.c:543 tmigr_requires_handle_remote CPU: 8 UID: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/8 RIP: 0010:tmigr_requires_handle_remote Call Trace: ? tmigr_requires_handle_remote ? hrtimer_run_queues update_process_times tick_periodic tick_handle_periodic __sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt Fix the problem by taking the old root into account in the children count of the new root so the connection is not omitted.

hrtimers: Force migrate away hrtimers queued after CPUHP_AP_HRTIMERS_DYING

2025-02-17T09:05:31Z

commit 53dac345395c0d2493cbc2f4c85fe38aef5b63f5 upstream. hrtimers are migrated away from the dying CPU to any online target at the CPUHP_AP_HRTIMERS_DYING stage in order not to delay bandwidth timers handling tasks involved in the CPU hotplug forward progress. However wakeups can still be performed by the outgoing CPU after CPUHP_AP_HRTIMERS_DYING. Those can result again in bandwidth timers being armed. Depending on several considerations (crystal ball power management based election, earliest timer already enqueued, timer migration enabled or not), the target may eventually be the current CPU even if offline. If that happens, the timer is eventually ignored. The most notable example is RCU which had to deal with each and every of those wake-ups by deferring them to an online CPU, along with related workarounds: _ e787644caf76 (rcu: Defer RCU kthreads wakeup when CPU is dying) _ 9139f93209d1 (rcu/nocb: Fix RT throttling hrtimer armed from offline CPU) _ f7345ccc62a4 (rcu/nocb: Fix rcuog wake-up from offline softirq) The problem isn't confined to RCU though as the stop machine kthread (which runs CPUHP_AP_HRTIMERS_DYING) reports its completion at the end of its work through cpu_stop_signal_done() and performs a wake up that eventually arms the deadline server timer: WARNING: CPU: 94 PID: 588 at kernel/time/hrtimer.c:1086 hrtimer_start_range_ns+0x289/0x2d0 CPU: 94 UID: 0 PID: 588 Comm: migration/94 Not tainted Stopper: multi_cpu_stop+0x0/0x120 <- stop_machine_cpuslocked+0x66/0xc0 RIP: 0010:hrtimer_start_range_ns+0x289/0x2d0 Call Trace: start_dl_timer enqueue_dl_entity dl_server_start enqueue_task_fair enqueue_task ttwu_do_activate try_to_wake_up complete cpu_stopper_thread Instead of providing yet another bandaid to work around the situation, fix it in the hrtimers infrastructure instead: always migrate away a timer to an online target whenever it is enqueued from an offline CPU.
