2022-01-27clocksource: Avoid accidental unstable marking of clocksourcesWaiman Long1-9/+41
[ Upstream commit c86ff8c55b8ae68837b2fa59dc0c203907e9a15f ] Since commit db3a34e17433 ("clocksource: Retry clock read if long delays detected") and commit 2e27e793e280 ("clocksource: Reduce clocksource-skew threshold"), it is found that tsc clocksource fallback to hpet can sometimes happen on both Intel and AMD systems especially when they are running stressful benchmarking workloads. Of the 23 systems tested with a v5.14 kernel, 10 of them have switched to hpet clock source during the test run. The result of falling back to hpet is a drastic reduction of performance when running benchmarks. For example, the fio performance tests can drop up to 70% whereas the iperf3 performance can drop up to 80%. 4 hpet fallbacks happened during bootup. They were: [ 8.749399] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU13: hpet read-back delay of 263750ns, attempt 4, marking unstable [ 12.044610] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU19: hpet read-back delay of 186166ns, attempt 4, marking unstable [ 17.336941] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU28: hpet read-back delay of 182291ns, attempt 4, marking unstable [ 17.518565] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU34: hpet read-back delay of 252196ns, attempt 4, marking unstable Other fallbacks happen when the systems were running stressful benchmarks. For example: [ 2685.867873] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU117: hpet read-back delay of 57269ns, attempt 4, marking unstable [46215.471228] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU8: hpet read-back delay of 61460ns, attempt 4, marking unstable Commit 2e27e793e280 ("clocksource: Reduce clocksource-skew threshold"), changed the skew margin from 100us to 50us. I think this is too small and can easily be exceeded when running some stressful workloads on a thermally stressed system. So it is switched back to 100us. Even a maximum skew margin of 100us may be too small in for some systems when booting up especially if those systems are under thermal stress. To eliminate the case that the large skew is due to the system being too busy slowing down the reading of both the watchdog and the clocksource, an extra consecutive read of watchdog clock is being done to check this. The consecutive watchdog read delay is compared against WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW/2. If the delay exceeds the limit, we assume that the system is just too busy. A warning will be printed to the console and the clock skew check is skipped for this round.

2022-01-27clocksource: Reduce clocksource-skew thresholdPaul E. McKenney2-17/+46
[ Upstream commit 2e27e793e280ff12cb5c202a1214c08b0d3a0f26 ] Currently, WATCHDOG_THRESHOLD is set to detect a 62.5-millisecond skew in a 500-millisecond WATCHDOG_INTERVAL. This requires that clocks be skewed by more than 12.5% in order to be marked unstable. Except that a clock that is skewed by that much is probably destroying unsuspecting software right and left. And given that there are now checks for false-positive skews due to delays between reading the two clocks, it should be possible to greatly decrease WATCHDOG_THRESHOLD, at least for fine-grained clocks such as TSC. Therefore, add a new uncertainty_margin field to the clocksource structure that contains the maximum uncertainty in nanoseconds for the corresponding clock. This field may be initialized manually, as it is for clocksource_tsc_early and clocksource_jiffies, which is copied to refined_jiffies. If the field is not initialized manually, it will be computed at clock-registry time as the period of the clock in question based on the scale and freq parameters to __clocksource_update_freq_scale() function. If either of those two parameters are zero, the tens-of-milliseconds WATCHDOG_THRESHOLD is used as a cowardly alternative to dividing by zero. No matter how the uncertainty_margin field is calculated, it is bounded below by twice WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW, that is, by 100 microseconds. Note that manually initialized uncertainty_margin fields are not adjusted, but there is a WARN_ON_ONCE() that triggers if any such field is less than twice WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW. This WARN_ON_ONCE() is intended to discourage production use of the one-nanosecond uncertainty_margin values that are used to test the clock-skew code itself. The actual clock-skew check uses the sum of the uncertainty_margin fields of the two clocksource structures being compared. Integer overflow is avoided because the largest computed value of the uncertainty_margin fields is one billion (10^9), and double that value fits into an unsigned int. However, if someone manually specifies (say) UINT_MAX, they will get what they deserve. Note that the refined_jiffies uncertainty_margin field is initialized to TICK_NSEC, which means that skew checks involving this clocksource will be sufficently forgiving. In a similar vein, the clocksource_tsc_early uncertainty_margin field is initialized to 32*NSEC_PER_MSEC, which replicates the current behavior and allows custom setting if needed in order to address the rare skews detected for this clocksource in current mainline.

2021-12-22timekeeping: Really make sure wall_to_monotonic isn't positiveYu Liao1-2/+1
commit 4e8c11b6b3f0b6a283e898344f154641eda94266 upstream. Even after commit e1d7ba873555 ("time: Always make sure wall_to_monotonic isn't positive") it is still possible to make wall_to_monotonic positive by running the following code: int main(void) { struct timespec time; clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &time); time.tv_nsec = 0; clock_settime(CLOCK_REALTIME, &time); return 0; } The reason is that the second parameter of timespec64_compare(), ts_delta, may be unnormalized because the delta is calculated with an open coded substraction which causes the comparison of tv_sec to yield the wrong result: wall_to_monotonic = { .tv_sec = -10, .tv_nsec = 900000000 } ts_delta = { .tv_sec = -9, .tv_nsec = -900000000 } That makes timespec64_compare() claim that wall_to_monotonic < ts_delta, but actually the result should be wall_to_monotonic > ts_delta. After normalization, the result of timespec64_compare() is correct because the tv_sec comparison is not longer misleading: wall_to_monotonic = { .tv_sec = -10, .tv_nsec = 900000000 } ts_delta = { .tv_sec = -10, .tv_nsec = 100000000 } Use timespec64_sub() to ensure that ts_delta is normalized, which fixes the issue.

2021-11-18posix-cpu-timers: Clear task::posix_cputimers_work in copy_process()Michael Pratt1-2/+17
commit ca7752caeaa70bd31d1714af566c9809688544af upstream. copy_process currently copies task_struct.posix_cputimers_work as-is. If a timer interrupt arrives while handling clone and before dup_task_struct completes then the child task will have: 1. posix_cputimers_work.scheduled = true 2. posix_cputimers_work.work queued. copy_process clears task_struct.task_works, so (2) will have no effect and posix_cpu_timers_work will never run (not to mention it doesn't make sense for two tasks to share a common linked list). Since posix_cpu_timers_work never runs, posix_cputimers_work.scheduled is never cleared. Since scheduled is set, future timer interrupts will skip scheduling work, with the ultimate result that the task will never receive timer expirations. Together, the complete flow is: 1. Task 1 calls clone(), enters kernel. 2. Timer interrupt fires, schedules task work on Task 1. 2a. task_struct.posix_cputimers_work.scheduled = true 2b. task_struct.posix_cputimers_work.work added to task_struct.task_works. 3. dup_task_struct() copies Task 1 to Task 2. 4. copy_process() clears task_struct.task_works for Task 2. 5. Future timer interrupts on Task 2 see task_struct.posix_cputimers_work.scheduled = true and skip scheduling work. Fix this by explicitly clearing contents of task_struct.posix_cputimers_work in copy_process(). This was never meant to be shared or inherited across tasks in the first place.

2021-09-15hrtimer: Avoid double reprogramming in __hrtimer_start_range_ns()Thomas Gleixner1-7/+53
[ Upstream commit 627ef5ae2df8eeccb20d5af0e4cfa4df9e61ed28 ] If __hrtimer_start_range_ns() is invoked with an already armed hrtimer then the timer has to be canceled first and then added back. If the timer is the first expiring timer then on removal the clockevent device is reprogrammed to the next expiring timer to avoid that the pending expiry fires needlessly. If the new expiry time ends up to be the first expiry again then the clock event device has to reprogrammed again. Avoid this by checking whether the timer is the first to expire and in that case, keep the timer on the current CPU and delay the reprogramming up to the point where the timer has been enqueued again.

2021-09-15posix-cpu-timers: Force next expiration recalc after itimer resetFrederic Weisbecker1-2/+0
[ Upstream commit 406dd42bd1ba0c01babf9cde169bb319e52f6147 ] When an itimer deactivates a previously armed expiration, it simply doesn't do anything. As a result the process wide cputime counter keeps running and the tick dependency stays set until it reaches the old ghost expiration value. This can be reproduced with the following snippet: void trigger_process_counter(void) { struct itimerval n = {}; n.it_value.tv_sec = 100; setitimer(ITIMER_VIRTUAL, &n, NULL); n.it_value.tv_sec = 0; setitimer(ITIMER_VIRTUAL, &n, NULL); } Fix this with resetting the relevant base expiration.

2021-08-12timers: Move clearing of base::timer_running under base:: LockThomas Gleixner1-2/+4
commit bb7262b295472eb6858b5c49893954794027cd84 upstream. syzbot reported KCSAN data races vs. timer_base::timer_running being set to NULL without holding base::lock in expire_timers(). This looks innocent and most reads are clearly not problematic, but Frederic identified an issue which is: int data = 0; void timer_func(struct timer_list *t) { data = 1; } CPU 0 CPU 1 ------------------------------ -------------------------- base = lock_timer_base(timer, &flags); raw_spin_unlock(&base->lock); if (base->running_timer != timer) call_timer_fn(timer, fn, baseclk); ret = detach_if_pending(timer, base, true); base->running_timer = NULL; raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&base->lock, flags); raw_spin_lock(&base->lock); x = data; If the timer has previously executed on CPU 1 and then CPU 0 can observe base->running_timer == NULL and returns, assuming the timer has completed, but it's not guaranteed on all architectures. The comment for del_timer_sync() makes that guarantee. Moving the assignment under base->lock prevents this. For non-RT kernel it's performance wise completely irrelevant whether the store happens before or after taking the lock. For an RT kernel moving the store under the lock requires an extra unlock/lock pair in the case that there is a waiter for the timer, but that's not the end of the world.

2021-07-28timers: Fix get_next_timer_interrupt() with no timers pendingNicolas Saenz Julienne1-3/+5
[ Upstream commit aebacb7f6ca1926918734faae14d1f0b6fae5cb7 ] 31cd0e119d50 ("timers: Recalculate next timer interrupt only when necessary") subtly altered get_next_timer_interrupt()'s behaviour. The function no longer consistently returns KTIME_MAX with no timers pending. In order to decide if there are any timers pending we check whether the next expiry will happen NEXT_TIMER_MAX_DELTA jiffies from now. Unfortunately, the next expiry time and the timer base clock are no longer updated in unison. The former changes upon certain timer operations (enqueue, expire, detach), whereas the latter keeps track of jiffies as they move forward. Ultimately breaking the logic above. A simplified example: - Upon entering get_next_timer_interrupt() with: jiffies = 1 base->clk = 0; base->next_expiry = NEXT_TIMER_MAX_DELTA; 'base->next_expiry == base->clk + NEXT_TIMER_MAX_DELTA', the function returns KTIME_MAX. - 'base->clk' is updated to the jiffies value. - The next time we enter get_next_timer_interrupt(), taking into account no timer operations happened: base->clk = 1; base->next_expiry = NEXT_TIMER_MAX_DELTA; 'base->next_expiry != base->clk + NEXT_TIMER_MAX_DELTA', the function returns a valid expire time, which is incorrect. This ultimately might unnecessarily rearm sched's timer on nohz_full setups, and add latency to the system[1]. So, introduce 'base->timers_pending'[2], update it every time 'base->next_expiry' changes, and use it in get_next_timer_interrupt(). [1] See tick_nohz_stop_tick(). [2] A quick pahole check on x86_64 and arm64 shows it doesn't make 'struct timer_base' any bigger.

2021-07-14clocksource: Check per-CPU clock synchronization when marked unstablePaul E. McKenney1-0/+60
[ Upstream commit 7560c02bdffb7c52d1457fa551b9e745d4b9e754 ] Some sorts of per-CPU clock sources have a history of going out of synchronization with each other. However, this problem has purportedy been solved in the past ten years. Except that it is all too possible that the problem has instead simply been made less likely, which might mean that some of the occasional "Marking clocksource 'tsc' as unstable" messages might be due to desynchronization. How would anyone know? Therefore apply CPU-to-CPU synchronization checking to newly unstable clocksource that are marked with the new CLOCK_SOURCE_VERIFY_PERCPU flag. Lists of desynchronized CPUs are printed, with the caveat that if it is the reporting CPU that is itself desynchronized, it will appear that all the other clocks are wrong. Just like in real life.

2021-07-14clocksource: Retry clock read if long delays detectedPaul E. McKenney1-6/+47
[ Upstream commit db3a34e17433de2390eb80d436970edcebd0ca3e ] When the clocksource watchdog marks a clock as unstable, this might be due to that clock being unstable or it might be due to delays that happen to occur between the reads of the two clocks. Yes, interrupts are disabled across those two reads, but there are no shortage of things that can delay interrupts-disabled regions of code ranging from SMI handlers to vCPU preemption. It would be good to have some indication as to why the clock was marked unstable. Therefore, re-read the watchdog clock on either side of the read from the clock under test. If the watchdog clock shows an excessive time delta between its pair of reads, the reads are retried. The maximum number of retries is specified by a new kernel boot parameter clocksource.max_cswd_read_retries, which defaults to three, that is, up to four reads, one initial and up to three retries. If more than one retry was required, a message is printed on the console (the occasional single retry is expected behavior, especially in guest OSes). If the maximum number of retries is exceeded, the clock under test will be marked unstable. However, the probability of this happening due to various sorts of delays is quite small. In addition, the reason (clock-read delays) for the unstable marking will be apparent. Reported-by: Chris Mason <clm@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2021-03-17hrtimer: Update softirq_expires_next correctly after __hrtimer_get_next_event()Anna-Maria Behnsen1-21/+39
[ Upstream commit 46eb1701c046cc18c032fa68f3c8ccbf24483ee4 ] hrtimer_force_reprogram() and hrtimer_interrupt() invokes __hrtimer_get_next_event() to find the earliest expiry time of hrtimer bases. __hrtimer_get_next_event() does not update cpu_base::[softirq_]_expires_next to preserve reprogramming logic. That needs to be done at the callsites. hrtimer_force_reprogram() updates cpu_base::softirq_expires_next only when the first expiring timer is a softirq timer and the soft interrupt is not activated. That's wrong because cpu_base::softirq_expires_next is left stale when the first expiring timer of all bases is a timer which expires in hard interrupt context. hrtimer_interrupt() does never update cpu_base::softirq_expires_next which is wrong too. That becomes a problem when clock_settime() sets CLOCK_REALTIME forward and the first soft expiring timer is in the CLOCK_REALTIME_SOFT base. Setting CLOCK_REALTIME forward moves the clock MONOTONIC based expiry time of that timer before the stale cpu_base::softirq_expires_next. cpu_base::softirq_expires_next is cached to make the check for raising the soft interrupt fast. In the above case the soft interrupt won't be raised until clock monotonic reaches the stale cpu_base::softirq_expires_next value. That's incorrect, but what's worse it that if the softirq timer becomes the first expiring timer of all clock bases after the hard expiry timer has been handled the reprogramming of the clockevent from hrtimer_interrupt() will result in an interrupt storm. That happens because the reprogramming does not use cpu_base::softirq_expires_next, it uses __hrtimer_get_next_event() which returns the actual expiry time. Once clock MONOTONIC reaches cpu_base::softirq_expires_next the soft interrupt is raised and the storm subsides. Change the logic in hrtimer_force_reprogram() to evaluate the soft and hard bases seperately, update softirq_expires_next and handle the case when a soft expiring timer is the first of all bases by comparing the expiry times and updating the required cpu base fields. Split this functionality into a separate function to be able to use it in hrtimer_interrupt() as well without copy paste.

2021-01-06tick/sched: Remove bogus boot "safety" checkThomas Gleixner1-7/+0
[ Upstream commit ba8ea8e7dd6e1662e34e730eadfc52aa6816f9dd ] can_stop_idle_tick() checks whether the do_timer() duty has been taken over by a CPU on boot. That's silly because the boot CPU always takes over with the initial clockevent device. But even if no CPU would have installed a clockevent and taken over the duty then the question whether the tick on the current CPU can be stopped or not is moot. In that case the current CPU would have no clockevent either, so there would be nothing to keep ticking. Remove it.

2020-10-24random32: add noise from network and scheduling activityWilly Tarreau1-0/+2
With the removal of the interrupt perturbations in previous random32 change (random32: make prandom_u32() output unpredictable), the PRNG has become 100% deterministic again. While SipHash is expected to be way more robust against brute force than the previous Tausworthe LFSR, there's still the risk that whoever has even one temporary access to the PRNG's internal state is able to predict all subsequent draws till the next reseed (roughly every minute). This may happen through a side channel attack or any data leak. This patch restores the spirit of commit f227e3ec3b5c ("random32: update the net random state on interrupt and activity") in that it will perturb the internal PRNG's statee using externally collected noise, except that it will not pick that noise from the random pool's bits nor upon interrupt, but will rather combine a few elements along the Tx path that are collectively hard to predict, such as dev, skb and txq pointers, packet length and jiffies values. These ones are combined using a single round of SipHash into a single long variable that is mixed with the net_rand_state upon each invocation. The operation was inlined because it produces very small and efficient code, typically 3 xor, 2 add and 2 rol. The performance was measured to be the same (even very slightly better) than before the switch to SipHash; on a 6-core 12-thread Core i7-8700k equipped with a 40G NIC (i40e), the connection rate dropped from 556k/s to 555k/s while the SYN cookie rate grew from 5.38 Mpps to 5.45 Mpps.

2020-10-24random32: make prandom_u32() output unpredictableGeorge Spelvin1-7/+0
Non-cryptographic PRNGs may have great statistical properties, but are usually trivially predictable to someone who knows the algorithm, given a small sample of their output. An LFSR like prandom_u32() is particularly simple, even if the sample is widely scattered bits. It turns out the network stack uses prandom_u32() for some things like random port numbers which it would prefer are *not* trivially predictable. Predictability led to a practical DNS spoofing attack. Oops. This patch replaces the LFSR with a homebrew cryptographic PRNG based on the SipHash round function, which is in turn seeded with 128 bits of strong random key. (The authors of SipHash have *not* been consulted about this abuse of their algorithm.) Speed is prioritized over security; attacks are rare, while performance is always wanted. Replacing all callers of prandom_u32() is the quick fix. Whether to reinstate a weaker PRNG for uses which can tolerate it is an open question. Commit f227e3ec3b5c ("random32: update the net random state on interrupt and activity") was an earlier attempt at a solution. This patch replaces it.

2020-09-24timers: Mask invalid flags in do_init_timer()Qianli Zhao1-0/+2
do_init_timer() accepts any combination of timer flags handed in by the caller without a sanity check, but only TIMER_DEFFERABLE, TIMER_PINNED and TIMER_IRQSAFE are valid. If the supplied flags have other bits set, this could result in malfunction. If bits are set in TIMER_CPUMASK the first timer usage could deference a cpu base which is outside the range of possible CPUs. If TIMER_MIGRATION is set, then the switch_timer_base() will live lock. Prevent that with a sanity check which warns when invalid flags are supplied and masks them out.

2020-09-10timekeeping: Use seqcount_latch_tAhmed S. Darwish1-5/+5
Latch sequence counters are a multiversion concurrency control mechanism where the seqcount_t counter even/odd value is used to switch between two data storage copies. This allows the seqcount_t read path to safely interrupt its write side critical section (e.g. from NMIs). Initially, latch sequence counters were implemented as a single write function, raw_write_seqcount_latch(), above plain seqcount_t. The read path was expected to use plain seqcount_t raw_read_seqcount(). A specialized read function was later added, raw_read_seqcount_latch(), and became the standardized way for latch read paths. Having unique read and write APIs meant that latch sequence counters are basically a data type of their own -- just inappropriately overloading plain seqcount_t. The seqcount_latch_t data type was thus introduced at seqlock.h. Use that new data type instead of seqcount_raw_spinlock_t. This ensures that only latch-safe APIs are to be used with the sequence counter. Note that the use of seqcount_raw_spinlock_t was not very useful in the first place. Only the "raw_" subset of seqcount_t APIs were used at timekeeping.c. This subset was created for contexts where lockdep cannot be used. seqcount_LOCKTYPE_t's raison d'être -- verifying that the seqcount_t writer serialization lock is held -- cannot thus be done.

2020-09-10time/sched_clock: Use raw_read_seqcount_latch() during suspendAhmed S. Darwish1-1/+1
sched_clock uses seqcount_t latching to switch between two storage places protected by the sequence counter. This allows it to have interruptible, NMI-safe, seqcount_t write side critical sections. Since 7fc26327b756 ("seqlock: Introduce raw_read_seqcount_latch()"), raw_read_seqcount_latch() became the standardized way for seqcount_t latch read paths. Due to the dependent load, it has one read memory barrier less than the currently used raw_read_seqcount() API. Use raw_read_seqcount_latch() for the suspend path. Commit aadd6e5caaac ("time/sched_clock: Use raw_read_seqcount_latch()") missed changing that instance of raw_read_seqcount().
