hrtimer: Report offline hrtimer enqueue

2024-02-16T18:14:29Z

commit dad6a09f3148257ac1773cd90934d721d68ab595 upstream. The hrtimers migration on CPU-down hotplug process has been moved earlier, before the CPU actually goes to die. This leaves a small window of opportunity to queue an hrtimer in a blind spot, leaving it ignored. For example a practical case has been reported with RCU waking up a SCHED_FIFO task right before the CPUHP_AP_IDLE_DEAD stage, queuing that way a sched/rt timer to the local offline CPU. Make sure such situations never go unnoticed and warn when that happens. Fixes: 5c0930ccaad5 ("hrtimers: Push pending hrtimers away from outgoing CPU earlier") Reported-by: Paul E.

tick/sched: Preserve number of idle sleeps across CPU hotplug events

2024-02-01T00:21:21Z

commit 9a574ea9069be30b835a3da772c039993c43369b upstream. Commit 71fee48f ("tick-sched: Fix idle and iowait sleeptime accounting vs CPU hotplug") preserved total idle sleep time and iowait sleeptime across CPU hotplug events. Similar reasoning applies to the number of idle calls and idle sleeps to get the proper average of sleep time per idle invocation. Preserve those fields too.

clocksource: Skip watchdog check for large watchdog intervals

2024-02-01T00:21:21Z

commit 644649553508b9bacf0fc7a5bdc4f9e0165576a5 upstream. There have been reports of the watchdog marking clocksources unstable on machines with 8 NUMA nodes: clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU373: Marking clocksource 'tsc' as unstable because the skew is too large: clocksource: 'hpet' wd_nsec: 14523447520 clocksource: 'tsc' cs_nsec: 14524115132 The measured clocksource skew - the absolute difference between cs_nsec and wd_nsec - was 668 microseconds: cs_nsec - wd_nsec = 14524115132 - 14523447520 = 667612 The kernel used 200 microseconds for the uncertainty_margin of both the clocksource and watchdog, resulting in a threshold of 400 microseconds (the md variable). Both the cs_nsec and the wd_nsec value indicate that the readout interval was circa 14.5 seconds. The observed behaviour is that watchdog checks failed for large readout intervals on 8 NUMA node machines. This indicates that the size of the skew was directly proportinal to the length of the readout interval on those machines. The measured clocksource skew, 668 microseconds, was evaluated against a threshold (the md variable) that is suited for readout intervals of roughly WATCHDOG_INTERVAL, i.e. HZ >> 1, which is 0.5 second. The intention of 2e27e793e280 ("clocksource: Reduce clocksource-skew threshold") was to tighten the threshold for evaluating skew and set the lower bound for the uncertainty_margin of clocksources to twice WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW. Later in c37e85c135ce ("clocksource: Loosen clocksource watchdog constraints"), the WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW constant was increased to 125 microseconds to fit the limit of NTP, which is able to use a clocksource that suffers from up to 500 microseconds of skew per second. Both the TSC and the HPET use default uncertainty_margin. When the readout interval gets stretched the default uncertainty_margin is no longer a suitable lower bound for evaluating skew - it imposes a limit that is far stricter than the skew with which NTP can deal. The root causes of the skew being directly proportinal to the length of the readout interval are: * the inaccuracy of the shift/mult pairs of clocksources and the watchdog * the conversion to nanoseconds is imprecise for large readout intervals Prevent this by skipping the current watchdog check if the readout interval exceeds 2 * WATCHDOG_INTERVAL. Considering the maximum readout interval of 2 * WATCHDOG_INTERVAL, the current default uncertainty margin (of the TSC and HPET) corresponds to a limit on clocksource skew of 250 ppm (microseconds of skew per second). To keep the limit imposed by NTP (500 microseconds of skew per second) for all possible readout intervals, the margins would have to be scaled so that the threshold value is proportional to the length of the actual readout interval. As for why the readout interval may get stretched: Since the watchdog is executed in softirq context the expiration of the watchdog timer can get severely delayed on account of a ksoftirqd thread not getting to run in a timely manner. Surely, a system with such belated softirq execution is not working well and the scheduling issue should be looked into but the clocksource watchdog should be able to deal with it accordingly.

tick-sched: Fix idle and iowait sleeptime accounting vs CPU hotplug

2024-01-25T23:45:10Z

commit 71fee48fb772ac4f6cfa63dbebc5629de8b4cc09 upstream. When offlining and onlining CPUs the overall reported idle and iowait times as reported by /proc/stat jump backward and forward: cpu 132 0 176 225249 47 6 6 21 0 0 cpu0 80 0 115 112575 33 3 4 18 0 0 cpu1 52 0 60 112673 13 3 1 2 0 0 cpu 133 0 177 226681 47 6 6 21 0 0 cpu0 80 0 116 113387 33 3 4 18 0 0 cpu 133 0 178 114431 33 6 6 21 0 0 <---- jump backward cpu0 80 0 116 114247 33 3 4 18 0 0 cpu1 52 0 61 183 0 3 1 2 0 0 <---- idle + iowait start with 0 cpu 133 0 178 228956 47 6 6 21 0 0 <---- jump forward cpu0 81 0 117 114929 33 3 4 18 0 0 Reason for this is that get_idle_time() in fs/proc/stat.c has different sources for both values depending on if a CPU is online or offline: - if a CPU is online the values may be taken from its per cpu tick_cpu_sched structure - if a CPU is offline the values are taken from its per cpu cpustat structure The problem is that the per cpu tick_cpu_sched structure is set to zero on CPU offline. See tick_cancel_sched_timer() in kernel/time/tick-sched.c. Therefore when a CPU is brought offline and online afterwards both its idle and iowait sleeptime will be zero, causing a jump backward in total system idle and iowait sleeptime. In a similar way if a CPU is then brought offline again the total idle and iowait sleeptimes will jump forward. It looks like this behavior was introduced with commit 4b0c0f294f60 ("tick: Cleanup NOHZ per cpu data on cpu down"). This was only noticed now on s390, since we switched to generic idle time reporting with commit be76ea614460 ("s390/idle: remove arch_cpu_idle_time() and corresponding code"). Fix this by preserving the values of idle_sleeptime and iowait_sleeptime members of the per-cpu tick_sched structure on CPU hotplug.

posix-timers: Get rid of [COMPAT_]SYS_NI() uses

2023-12-21T05:30:27Z

Only the posix timer system calls use this (when the posix timer support is disabled, which does not actually happen in any normal case), because they had debug code to print out a warning about missing system calls. Get rid of that special case, and just use the standard COND_SYSCALL interface that creates weak system call stubs that return -ENOSYS for when the system call does not exist. This fixes a kCFI issue with the SYS_NI() hackery: CFI failure at int80_emulation+0x67/0xb0 (target: sys_ni_posix_timers+0x0/0x70; expected type: 0xb02b34d9) WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 48 at int80_emulation+0x67/0xb0 Reported-by: kernel test robot Reviewed-by: Sami Tolvanen Tested-by: Sami Tolvanen Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Dave Hansen Cc: Borislav Petkov Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

hrtimers: Push pending hrtimers away from outgoing CPU earlier

2023-11-11T17:06:42Z

2b8272ff4a70 ("cpu/hotplug: Prevent self deadlock on CPU hot-unplug") solved the straight forward CPU hotplug deadlock vs. the scheduler bandwidth timer. Yu discovered a more involved variant where a task which has a bandwidth timer started on the outgoing CPU holds a lock and then gets throttled. If the lock required by one of the CPU hotplug callbacks the hotplug operation deadlocks because the unthrottling timer event is not handled on the dying CPU and can only be recovered once the control CPU reaches the hotplug state which pulls the pending hrtimers from the dead CPU. Solve this by pushing the hrtimers away from the dying CPU in the dying callbacks. Nothing can queue a hrtimer on the dying CPU at that point because all other CPUs spin in stop_machine() with interrupts disabled and once the operation is finished the CPU is marked offline.

alarmtimer: Use maximum alarm time for suspend

2023-10-09T13:03:28Z

Some userspace applications use timerfd_create() to request wakeups after a long period of time. For example, a backup application may request a wakeup once per week. This is perfectly fine as long as the system does not try to suspend. However, if the system tries to suspend and the system's RTC does not support the required alarm timeout, the suspend operation will fail with an error such as rtc_cmos 00:01: Alarms can be up to one day in the future PM: dpm_run_callback(): platform_pm_suspend+0x0/0x4a returns -22 alarmtimer alarmtimer.4.auto: platform_pm_suspend+0x0/0x4a returned -22 after 117 usecs PM: Device alarmtimer.4.auto failed to suspend: error -22 This results in a refusal to suspend the system, causing substantial battery drain on affected systems. To fix the problem, use the maximum alarm time offset as reported by RTC drivers to set the maximum alarm time. While this may result in early wakeups from suspend, it is still much better than not suspending at all. Standardize system behavior if the requested alarm timeout is larger than the alarm timeout supported by the rtc chip. Currently, in this situation, the RTC driver will do one of the following: - It may return an error. - It may limit the alarm timeout to the maximum supported by the rtc chip. - It may mask the timeout by the maximum alarm timeout supported by the RTC chip (i.e. a requested timeout of 1 day + 1 minute may result in a 1 minute timeout). With this in place, if the RTC driver reports the maximum alarm timeout supported by the RTC chip, the system will always limit the alarm timeout to the maximum supported by the RTC chip.
