commit f227e3ec3b5cad859ad15666874405e8c1bbc1d4 upstream.

This modifies the first 32 bits out of the 128 bits of a random CPU's
net_rand_state on interrupt or CPU activity to complicate remote
observations that could lead to guessing the network RNG's internal
state.

Note that depending on some network devices' interrupt rate moderation
or binding, this re-seeding might happen on every packet or even almost
never.

In addition, with NOHZ some CPUs might not even get timer interrupts,
leaving their local state rarely updated, while they are running
networked processes making use of the random state.  For this reason, we
also perform this update in update_process_times() in order to at least
update the state when there is user or system activity, since it's the
only case we care about.

commit e2a71bdea81690b6ef11f4368261ec6f5b6891aa upstream.

When an expiration delta falls into the last level of the wheel, that delta
has be compared against the maximum possible delay and reduced to fit in if
necessary.

However instead of comparing the delta against the maximum, the code
compares the actual expiry against the maximum. Then instead of fixing the
delta to fit in, it sets the maximum delta as the expiry value.

This can result in various undesired outcomes, the worst possible one
being a timer expiring 15 days ahead to fire immediately.

commit 30c66fc30ee7a98c4f3adf5fb7e213b61884474f upstream.

When a timer is enqueued with a negative delta (ie: expiry is below
base-&gt;clk), it gets added to the wheel as expiring now (base-&gt;clk).

Yet the value that gets stored in base-&gt;next_expiry, while calling
trigger_dyntick_cpu(), is the initial timer-&gt;expires value. The
resulting state becomes:

	base-&gt;next_expiry &lt; base-&gt;clk

On the next timer enqueue, forward_timer_base() may accidentally
rewind base-&gt;clk. As a possible outcome, timers may expire way too
early, the worst case being that the highest wheel levels get spuriously
processed again.

To prevent from that, make sure that base-&gt;next_expiry doesn't get below
base-&gt;clk.

commit c7f3d43b629b598a2bb9ec3524e844eae7492e7e upstream.

CONFIG_GENERIC_VDSO_CLOCK_MODE was a transitional config switch which got
removed after all architectures got converted to the new storage model.

But the removal forgot to remove the #ifdef which guards the
vdso_clock_mode sanity check, which effectively disables the sanity check.

Remove it now.

<title>proc, time/namespace: Show clock symbolic names in /proc/pid/timens_offsets</title>

Michael Kerrisk suggested to replace numeric clock IDs with symbolic names.

Now the content of these files looks like this:
$ cat /proc/774/timens_offsets
monotonic      864000         0
boottime      1728000         0

For setting offsets, both representations of clocks (numeric and symbolic)
can be used.

As for compatibility, it is acceptable to change things as long as
userspace doesn't care. The format of timens_offsets files is very new and
there are no userspace tools yet which rely on this format.

But three projects crun, util-linux and criu rely on the interface of
setting time offsets and this is why it's required to continue supporting
the numeric clock IDs on write.

The reference for 'time_for_children' should be a 'time' namespace, just as
the reference for 'pid_for_children' is a 'pid' namespace.  In other words,
the above time_for_children link should read:

Pull timekeeping and timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Core:

   - Consolidation of the vDSO build infrastructure to address the
     difficulties of cross-builds for ARM64 compat vDSO libraries by
     restricting the exposure of header content to the vDSO build.

     This is achieved by splitting out header content into separate
     headers. which contain only the minimaly required information which
     is necessary to build the vDSO. These new headers are included from
     the kernel headers and the vDSO specific files.

   - Enhancements to the generic vDSO library allowing more fine grained
     control over the compiled in code, further reducing architecture
     specific storage and preparing for adopting the generic library by
     PPC.

   - Cleanup and consolidation of the exit related code in posix CPU
     timers.

   - Small cleanups and enhancements here and there

  Drivers:

   - The obligatory new drivers: Ingenic JZ47xx and X1000 TCU support

   - Correct the clock rate of PIT64b global clock

   - setup_irq() cleanup

   - Preparation for PWM and suspend support for the TI DM timer

   - Expand the fttmr010 driver to support ast2600 systems

   - The usual small fixes, enhancements and cleanups all over the
     place"

Pull timekeeping and timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Core:

   - Consolidation of the vDSO build infrastructure to address the
     difficulties of cross-builds for ARM64 compat vDSO libraries by
     restricting the exposure of header content to the vDSO build.

     This is achieved by splitting out header content into separate
     headers. which contain only the minimaly required information which
     is necessary to build the vDSO. These new headers are included from
     the kernel headers and the vDSO specific files.

   - Enhancements to the generic vDSO library allowing more fine grained

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - Continued user-access cleanups in the futex code.

   - percpu-rwsem rewrite that uses its own waitqueue and atomic_t
     instead of an embedded rwsem. This addresses a couple of
     weaknesses, but the primary motivation was complications on the -rt
     kernel.

   - Introduce raw lock nesting detection on lockdep
     (CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING=y), document the raw_lock vs. normal
     lock differences. This too originates from -rt.

   - Reuse lockdep zapped chain_hlocks entries, to conserve RAM
     footprint on distro-ish kernels running into the "BUG:
     MAX_LOCKDEP_CHAIN_HLOCKS too low!" depletion of the lockdep
     chain-entries pool.

   - Misc cleanups, smaller fixes and enhancements - see the changelog
     for details"
