[ Upstream commit ce10a5b3954f2514af726beb78ed8d7350c5e41c ]

tk_core.seq is initialized open coded, but that misses to initialize the
lockdep map when lockdep is enabled. Lockdep splats involving tk_core seq
consequently lack a name and are hard to read.

Use the proper initializer which takes care of the lockdep map
initialization.

[ Upstream commit 78c9c4dfbf8c04883941445a195276bb4bb92c76 ]

The posix timer overrun handling is broken because the forwarding functions
can return a huge number of overruns which does not fit in an int. As a
consequence timer_getoverrun(2) and siginfo::si_overrun can turn into
random number generators.

The k_clock::timer_forward() callbacks return a 64 bit value now. Make
k_itimer::ti_overrun[_last] 64bit as well, so the kernel internal
accounting is correct. 3Remove the temporary (int) casts.

Add a helper function which clamps the overrun value returned to user space
via timer_getoverrun(2) or siginfo::si_overrun limited to a positive value
between 0 and INT_MAX. INT_MAX is an indicator for user space that the
overrun value has been clamped.

Air Icy reported:

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>

<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.

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.

<title>tick/broadcast: Use for_each_cpu() specially on UP kernels</title>

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.

[ tglx: Use !IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SMP) instead of #ifdeffery ]

<title>time: Change posix clocks ops interfaces to use timespec64</title>

[ Upstream commit d340266e19ddb70dbd608f9deedcfb35fdb9d419 ]

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.
