2015-03-06ntp: Fixup adjtimex freq validation on 32-bit systemsJohn Stultz1-3/+7
commit 29183a70b0b828500816bd794b3fe192fce89f73 upstream. Additional validation of adjtimex freq values to avoid potential multiplication overflows were added in commit 5e5aeb4367b (time: adjtimex: Validate the ADJ_FREQUENCY values) Unfortunately the patch used LONG_MAX/MIN instead of LLONG_MAX/MIN, which was fine on 64-bit systems, but being much smaller on 32-bit systems caused false positives resulting in most direct frequency adjustments to fail w/ EINVAL. ntpd only does direct frequency adjustments at startup, so the issue was not as easily observed there, but other time sync applications like ptpd and chrony were more effected by the bug. See bugs: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92481 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1188074 This patch changes the checks to use LLONG_MAX for clarity, and additionally the checks are disabled on 32-bit systems since LLONG_MAX/PPM_SCALE is always larger then the 32-bit long freq value, so multiplication overflows aren't possible there.

2014-10-05alarmtimer: Lock k_itimer during timer callbackRichard Larocque1-2/+8
commit 474e941bed9262f5fa2394f9a4a67e24499e5926 upstream. Locks the k_itimer's it_lock member when handling the alarm timer's expiry callback. The regular posix timers defined in posix-timers.c have this lock held during timout processing because their callbacks are routed through posix_timer_fn(). The alarm timers follow a different path, so they ought to grab the lock somewhere else.

2014-10-05alarmtimer: Do not signal SIGEV_NONE timersRichard Larocque1-2/+4
commit 265b81d23a46c39df0a735a3af4238954b41a4c2 upstream. Avoids sending a signal to alarm timers created with sigev_notify set to SIGEV_NONE by checking for that special case in the timeout callback. The regular posix timers avoid sending signals to SIGEV_NONE timers by not scheduling any callbacks for them in the first place. Although it would be possible to do something similar for alarm timers, it's simpler to handle this as a special case in the timeout. Prior to this patch, the alarm timer would ignore the sigev_notify value and try to deliver signals to the process anyway. Even worse, the sanity check for the value of sigev_signo is skipped when SIGEV_NONE was specified, so the signal number could be bogus. If sigev_signo was an unitialized value (as it often would be if SIGEV_NONE is used), then it's hard to predict which signal will be sent.

2014-08-07timer: Fix lock inversion between hrtimer_bases.lock and scheduler locksJan Kara1-4/+6
commit 504d58745c9ca28d33572e2d8a9990b43e06075d upstream. clockevents_increase_min_delta() calls printk() from under hrtimer_bases.lock.

2014-07-28alarmtimer: Fix bug where relative alarm timers were treated as absoluteJohn Stultz1-2/+18
commit 16927776ae757d0d132bdbfabbfe2c498342bd59 upstream. Sharvil noticed with the posix timer_settime interface, using the CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM or CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM clockid, if the users tried to specify a relative time timer, it would incorrectly be treated as absolute regardless of the state of the flags argument. This patch corrects this, properly checking the absolute/relative flag, as well as adds further error checking that no invalid flag bits are set.

2014-06-26nohz: Fix another inconsistency between CONFIG_NO_HZ=n and nohz=offThomas Gleixner1-1/+3
commit 0e576acbc1d9600cf2d9b4a141a2554639959d50 upstream. If CONFIG_NO_HZ=n tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() returns NSEC_PER_SEC/HZ. If CONFIG_NO_HZ=y and the nohz functionality is disabled via the command line option "nohz=off" or not enabled due to missing hardware support, then tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() returns 0. That happens because ts->sleep_length is never set in that case. Set it to NSEC_PER_SEC/HZ when the NOHZ mode is inactive.

2014-03-23tick: Make oneshot broadcast robust vs. CPU offliningThomas Gleixner1-2/+11
commit c9b5a266b103af873abb9ac03bc3d067702c8f4b upstream. In periodic mode we remove offline cpus from the broadcast propagation mask. In oneshot mode we fail to do so. This was not a problem so far, but the recent changes to the broadcast propagation introduced a constellation which can result in a NULL pointer dereference. What happens is: CPU0 CPU1 idle() arch_idle() tick_broadcast_oneshot_control(OFF); set cpu1 in tick_broadcast_force_mask if (cpu_offline()) arch_cpu_dead() cpu_dead_cleanup(cpu1) cpu1 tickdevice pointer = NULL broadcast interrupt dereference cpu1 tickdevice pointer -> OOPS We dereference the pointer because cpu1 is still set in tick_broadcast_force_mask and tick_do_broadcast() expects a valid cpumask and therefor lacks any further checks. Remove the cpu from the tick_broadcast_force_mask before we set the tick device pointer to NULL. Also add a sanity check to the oneshot broadcast function, so we can detect such issues w/o crashing the machine.

2014-02-22time: Fix overflow when HZ is smaller than 60Mikulas Patocka1-0/+6
commit 80d767d770fd9c697e434fd080c2db7b5c60c6dd upstream. When compiling for the IA-64 ski emulator, HZ is set to 32 because the emulation is slow and we don't want to waste too many cycles processing timers. Alpha also has an option to set HZ to 32. This causes integer underflow in kernel/time/jiffies.c: kernel/time/jiffies.c:66:2: warning: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type [-Woverflow] .mult = NSEC_PER_JIFFY << JIFFIES_SHIFT, /* details above */ ^ This patch reduces the JIFFIES_SHIFT value to avoid the overflow.

2014-02-22tick: Clear broadcast pending bit when switching to oneshotThomas Gleixner1-0/+1
commit dd5fd9b91a77b4c9c28b7ef9c181b1a875820d0a upstream. AMD systems which use the C1E workaround in the amd_e400_idle routine trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE in the broadcast code when onlining a CPU. The reason is that the idle routine of those AMD systems switches the cpu into forced broadcast mode early on before the newly brought up CPU can switch over to high resolution / NOHZ mode. The timer related CPU1 bringup looks like this: clockevent_register_device(local_apic); tick_setup(local_apic); ... idle() tick_broadcast_on_off(FORCE); tick_broadcast_oneshot_control(ENTER) cpumask_set(cpu, broadcast_oneshot_mask); halt(); Now the broadcast interrupt on CPU0 sets CPU1 in the broadcast_pending_mask and wakes CPU1. So CPU1 continues: local_apic_timer_interrupt() tick_handle_periodic(); softirq() tick_init_highres(); cpumask_clr(cpu, broadcast_oneshot_mask); tick_broadcast_oneshot_control(ENTER) WARN_ON(cpumask_test(cpu, broadcast_pending_mask); So while we remove CPU1 from the broadcast_oneshot_mask when we switch over to highres mode, we do not clear the pending bit, which then triggers the warning when we go back to idle. The reason why this is only visible on C1E affected AMD systems is that the other machines enter the deep sleep states via acpi_idle/intel_idle and exit the broadcast mode before executing the remote triggered local_apic_timer_interrupt. So the pending bit is already cleared when the switch over to highres mode is clearing the oneshot mask. The solution is simple: Clear the pending bit together with the mask bit when we switch over to highres mode. Stanislaw came up independently with the same patch by enforcing the C1E workaround and debugging the fallout.

2014-02-13timekeeping: Avoid possible deadlock from clock_was_set_delayedJohn Stultz1-7/+18
commit 6fdda9a9c5db367130cf32df5d6618d08b89f46a upstream. As part of normal operaions, the hrtimer subsystem frequently calls into the timekeeping code, creating a locking order of hrtimer locks -> timekeeping locks clock_was_set_delayed() was suppoed to allow us to avoid deadlocks between the timekeeping the hrtimer subsystem, so that we could notify the hrtimer subsytem the time had changed while holding the timekeeping locks. This was done by scheduling delayed work that would run later once we were out of the timekeeing code. But unfortunately the lock chains are complex enoguh that in scheduling delayed work, we end up eventually trying to grab an hrtimer lock. Sasha Levin noticed this in testing when the new seqlock lockdep enablement triggered the following (somewhat abrieviated) message: [ 251.100221] ====================================================== [ 251.100221] [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ] [ 251.100221] 3.13.0-rc2-next-20131206-sasha-00005-g8be2375-dirty #4053 Not tainted [ 251.101967] ------------------------------------------------------- [ 251.101967] kworker/10:1/4506 is trying to acquire lock: [ 251.101967] (timekeeper_seq){----..}, at: [<ffffffff81160e96>] retrigger_next_event+0x56/0x70 [ 251.101967] [ 251.101967] but task is already holding lock: [ 251.101967] (hrtimer_bases.lock#11){-.-...}, at: [<ffffffff81160e7c>] retrigger_next_event+0x3c/0x70 [ 251.101967] [ 251.101967] which lock already depends on the new lock.

This works for the case here, where the do_adjtimex() was the deadlock trigger point. Unfortuantely, in update_wall_time() we still hold the jiffies lock, which would deadlock with the ipi triggered by clock_was_set(), preventing us from calling it even after we drop the timekeeping lock. So instead call clock_was_set_delayed() at that point.

commit 330a1617b0a6268d427aa5922c94d082b1d3e96d upstream. Since 48cdc135d4840 (Implement a shadow timekeeper), we have to call timekeeping_update() after any adjustment to the timekeeping structure in order to make sure that any adjustments to the structure persist. In the timekeeping suspend path, we udpate the timekeeper structure, so we should be sure to update the shadow-timekeeper before releasing the timekeeping locks. Currently this isn't done. In most cases, the next time related code to run would be timekeeping_resume, which does update the shadow-timekeeper, but in an abundence of caution, this patch adds the call to timekeeping_update() in the suspend path.

2013-12-11time: Fix 1ns/tick drift w/ GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL_OLDMartin Schwidefsky1-1/+1
commit 4be77398ac9d948773116b6be4a3c91b3d6ea18c upstream. Since commit 1e75fa8be9f (time: Condense timekeeper.xtime into xtime_sec - merged in v3.6), there has been an problem with the error accounting in the timekeeping code, such that when truncating to nanoseconds, we round up to the next nsec, but the balancing adjustment to the ntp_error value was dropped. This causes 1ns per tick drift forward of the clock. In 3.7, this logic was isolated to only GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL_OLD architectures (s390, ia64, powerpc). The fix is simply to balance the accounting and to subtract the added nanosecond from ntp_error. This allows the internal long-term clock steering to keep the clock accurate. While this fix removes the regression added in 1e75fa8be9f, the ideal solution is to move away from GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL_OLD and use the new VSYSCALL method, which avoids entirely the nanosecond granular rounding, and the resulting short-term clock adjustment oscillation needed to keep long term accurate time.

commit a97ad0c4b447a132a322cedc3a5f7fa4cab4b304 upstream. The current code requires that the scheduled update of the RTC happens in the closest tick to the half of the second. This seems to be difficult to achieve reliably. The scheduled work may be missing the target time by a tick or two and be constantly rescheduled every second. Relax the limit to 10 ticks. As a typical RTC drifts in the 11-minute update interval by several milliseconds, this shouldn't affect the overall accuracy of the RTC much.

2013-12-08clockevents: Prefer CPU local devices over global devicesStephen Boyd1-2/+7
commit 70e5975d3a04be5479a28eec4a2fb10f98ad2785 upstream. On an SMP system with only one global clockevent and a dummy clockevent per CPU we run into problems. We want the dummy clockevents to be registered as the per CPU tick devices, but we can only achieve that if we register the dummy clockevents before the global clockevent or if we artificially inflate the rating of the dummy clockevents to be higher than the rating of the global clockevent. Failure to do so leads to boot hangs when the dummy timers are registered on all other CPUs besides the CPU that accepted the global clockevent as its tick device and there is no broadcast timer to poke the dummy devices. If we're registering multiple clockevents and one clockevent is global and the other is local to a particular CPU we should choose to use the local clockevent regardless of the rating of the device. This way, if the clockevent is a dummy it will take the tick device duty as long as there isn't a higher rated tick device and any global clockevent will be bumped out into broadcast mode, fixing the problem described above.

2013-12-04alarmtimer: return EINVAL instead of ENOTSUPP if rtcdev doesn't existKOSAKI Motohiro1-2/+2
commit 98d6f4dd84a134d942827584a3c5f67ffd8ec35f upstream. Fedora Ruby maintainer reported latest Ruby doesn't work on Fedora Rawhide on ARM. (http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9008) Because of, commit 1c6b39ad3f (alarmtimers: Return -ENOTSUPP if no RTC device is present) intruduced to return ENOTSUPP when clock_get{time,res} can't find a RTC device. However this is incorrect. First, ENOTSUPP isn't exported to userland (ENOTSUP or EOPNOTSUP are the closest userland equivlents). Second, Posix and Linux man pages agree that clock_gettime and clock_getres should return EINVAL if clk_id argument is invalid. While the arugment that the clockid is valid, but just not supported on this hardware could be made, this is just a technicality that doesn't help userspace applicaitons, and only complicates error handling. Thus, this patch changes the code to use EINVAL.

2013-11-13clockevents: Sanitize ticks to nsec conversionThomas Gleixner1-15/+50
commit 97b9410643475d6557d2517c2aff9fd2221141a9 upstream. Marc Kleine-Budde pointed out, that commit 77cc982 "clocksource: use clockevents_config_and_register() where possible" caused a regression for some of the converted subarchs. The reason is, that the clockevents core code converts the minimal hardware tick delta to a nanosecond value for core internal usage. This conversion is affected by integer math rounding loss, so the backwards conversion to hardware ticks will likely result in a value which is less than the configured hardware limitation. The affected subarchs used their own workaround (SIGH!) which got lost in the conversion. The solution for the issue at hand is simple: adding evt->mult - 1 to the shifted value before the integer divison in the core conversion function takes care of it. But this only works for the case where for the scaled math mult/shift pair "mult <= 1 << shift" is true. For the case where "mult > 1 << shift" we can apply the rounding add only for the minimum delta value to make sure that the backward conversion is not less than the given hardware limit. For the upper bound we need to omit the rounding add, because the backwards conversion is always larger than the original latch value. That would violate the upper bound of the hardware device. Though looking closer at the details of that function reveals another bogosity: The upper bounds check is broken as well. Checking for a resulting "clc" value greater than KTIME_MAX after the conversion is pointless. The conversion does: u64 clc = (latch << evt->shift) / evt->mult; So there is no sanity check for (latch << evt->shift) exceeding the 64bit boundary. The latch argument is "unsigned long", so on a 64bit arch the handed in argument could easily lead to an unnoticed shift overflow. With the above rounding fix applied the calculation before the divison is: u64 clc = (latch << evt->shift) + evt->mult - 1; So we need to make sure, that neither the shift nor the rounding add is overflowing the u64 boundary.

Revert commit 69a37bea (cpuidle: Quickly notice prediction failure for repeat mode), because it has been identified as the source of a significant performance regression in v3.8 and later as explained by Jeremy Eder: We believe we've identified a particular commit to the cpuidle code that seems to be impacting performance of variety of workloads. The simplest way to reproduce is using netperf TCP_RR test, so we're using that, on a pair of Sandy Bridge based servers. We also have data from a large database setup where performance is also measurably/positively impacted, though that test data isn't easily share-able. Included below are test results from 3 test kernels: kernel reverts ----------------------------------------------------------- 1) vanilla upstream (no reverts) 2) perfteam2 reverts e11538d1f03914eb92af5a1a378375c05ae8520c 3) test reverts 69a37beabf1f0a6705c08e879bdd5d82ff6486c4 e11538d1f03914eb92af5a1a378375c05ae8520c In summary, netperf TCP_RR numbers improve by approximately 4% after reverting 69a37beabf1f0a6705c08e879bdd5d82ff6486c4. When 69a37beabf1f0a6705c08e879bdd5d82ff6486c4 is included, C0 residency never seems to get above 40%. Taking that patch out gets C0 near 100% quite often, and performance increases. The below data are histograms representing the %c0 residency @ 1-second sample rates (using turbostat), while under netperf test. - If you look at the first 4 histograms, you can see %c0 residency almost entirely in the 30,40% bin. - The last pair, which reverts 69a37beabf1f0a6705c08e879bdd5d82ff6486c4, shows %c0 in the 80,90,100% bins. Below each kernel name are netperf TCP_RR trans/s numbers for the particular kernel that can be disclosed publicly, comparing the 3 test kernels. We ran a 4th test with the vanilla kernel where we've also set /dev/cpu_dma_latency=0 to show overall impact boosting single-threaded TCP_RR performance over 11% above baseline. 3.10-rc2 vanilla RX + c0 lock (/dev/cpu_dma_latency=0): TCP_RR trans/s 54323.78 ----------------------------------------------------------- 3.10-rc2 vanilla RX (no reverts) TCP_RR trans/s 48192.47 Receiver %c0 0.0000 - 10.0000 [ 1]: * 10.0000 - 20.0000 [ 0]: 20.0000 - 30.0000 [ 0]: 30.0000 - 40.0000 [ 59]: *********************************************************** 40.0000 - 50.0000 [ 1]: * 50.0000 - 60.0000 [ 0]: 60.0000 - 70.0000 [ 0]: 70.0000 - 80.0000 [ 0]: 80.0000 - 90.0000 [ 0]: 90.0000 - 100.0000 [ 0]: Sender %c0 0.0000 - 10.0000 [ 1]: * 10.0000 - 20.0000 [ 0]: 20.0000 - 30.0000 [ 0]: 30.0000 - 40.0000 [ 11]: *********** 40.0000 - 50.0000 [ 49]: ************************************************* 50.0000 - 60.0000 [ 0]: 60.0000 - 70.0000 [ 0]: 70.0000 - 80.0000 [ 0]: 80.0000 - 90.0000 [ 0]: 90.0000 - 100.0000 [ 0]: ----------------------------------------------------------- 3.10-rc2 perfteam2 RX (reverts commit e11538d1f03914eb92af5a1a378375c05ae8520c) TCP_RR trans/s 49698.69 Receiver %c0 0.0000 - 10.0000 [ 1]: * 10.0000 - 20.0000 [ 1]: * 20.0000 - 30.0000 [ 0]: 30.0000 - 40.0000 [ 59]: *********************************************************** 40.0000 - 50.0000 [ 0]: 50.0000 - 60.0000 [ 0]: 60.0000 - 70.0000 [ 0]: 70.0000 - 80.0000 [ 0]: 80.0000 - 90.0000 [ 0]: 90.0000 - 100.0000 [ 0]: Sender %c0 0.0000 - 10.0000 [ 1]: * 10.0000 - 20.0000 [ 0]: 20.0000 - 30.0000 [ 0]: 30.0000 - 40.0000 [ 2]: ** 40.0000 - 50.0000 [ 58]: ********************************************************** 50.0000 - 60.0000 [ 0]: 60.0000 - 70.0000 [ 0]: 70.0000 - 80.0000 [ 0]: 80.0000 - 90.0000 [ 0]: 90.0000 - 100.0000 [ 0]: ----------------------------------------------------------- 3.10-rc2 test RX (reverts 69a37beabf1f0a6705c08e879bdd5d82ff6486c4 and e11538d1f03914eb92af5a1a378375c05ae8520c) TCP_RR trans/s 47766.95 Receiver %c0 0.0000 - 10.0000 [ 1]: * 10.0000 - 20.0000 [ 1]: * 20.0000 - 30.0000 [ 0]: 30.0000 - 40.0000 [ 27]: *************************** 40.0000 - 50.0000 [ 2]: ** 50.0000 - 60.0000 [ 0]: 60.0000 - 70.0000 [ 2]: ** 70.0000 - 80.0000 [ 0]: 80.0000 - 90.0000 [ 0]: 90.0000 - 100.0000 [ 28]: **************************** Sender: 0.0000 - 10.0000 [ 1]: * 10.0000 - 20.0000 [ 0]: 20.0000 - 30.0000 [ 0]: 30.0000 - 40.0000 [ 11]: *********** 40.0000 - 50.0000 [ 0]: 50.0000 - 60.0000 [ 1]: * 60.0000 - 70.0000 [ 0]: 70.0000 - 80.0000 [ 3]: *** 80.0000 - 90.0000 [ 7]: ******* 90.0000 - 100.0000 [ 38]: ************************************** These results demonstrate gaining back the tendency of the CPU to stay in more responsive, performant C-states (and thus yield measurably better performance), by reverting commit 69a37beabf1f0a6705c08e879bdd5d82ff6486c4.

2013-07-25tick: Prevent uncontrolled switch to oneshot modeThomas Gleixner1-1/+9
commit 1f73a9806bdd07a5106409bbcab3884078bd34fe upstream. When the system switches from periodic to oneshot mode, the broadcast logic causes a possibility that a CPU which has not yet switched to oneshot mode puts its own clock event device into oneshot mode without updating the state and the timer handler. CPU0 CPU1 per cpu tickdev is in periodic mode and switched to broadcast Switch to oneshot mode tick_broadcast_switch_to_oneshot() cpumask_copy(tick_oneshot_broacast_mask, tick_broadcast_mask); broadcast device mode = oneshot Timer interrupt irq_enter() tick_check_oneshot_broadcast() dev->set_mode(ONESHOT); tick_handle_periodic() if (dev->mode == ONESHOT) dev->next_event += period; FAIL. We fail, because dev->next_event contains KTIME_MAX, if the device was in periodic mode before the uncontrolled switch to oneshot happened. We must copy the broadcast bits over to the oneshot mask, because otherwise a CPU which relies on the broadcast would not been woken up anymore after the broadcast device switched to oneshot mode. So we need to verify in tick_check_oneshot_broadcast() whether the CPU has already switched to oneshot mode. If not, leave the device untouched and let the CPU switch controlled into oneshot mode. This is a long
