Ingo Molnar 4f17722c72 sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to <linux/sched/loadavg.h>
We are going to split <linux/sched/loadavg.h> out of <linux/sched.h>, which
will have to be picked up from a couple of .c files.

Create a trivial placeholder <linux/sched/topology.h> file that just
maps to <linux/sched.h> to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.

Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

Linus Torvalds 828cad8ea0 Merge branch 'sched-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this (fairly busy) cycle were:

   - There was a class of scheduler bugs related to forgetting to update
     the rq-clock timestamp which can cause weird and hard to debug
     problems, so there's a new debug facility for this: which uncovered
     a whole lot of bugs which convinced us that we want to keep the
     debug facility.

     (Peter Zijlstra, Matt Fleming)

   - Various cputime related updates: eliminate cputime and use u64
     nanoseconds directly, simplify and improve the arch interfaces,
     implement delayed accounting more widely, etc. - (Frederic
     Weisbecker)

   - Move code around for better structure plus cleanups (Ingo Molnar)

   - Move IO schedule accounting deeper into the scheduler plus related
     changes to improve the situation (Tejun Heo)

   - ... plus a round of sched/rt and sched/deadline fixes, plus other
     fixes, updats and cleanups"

Marc Zyngier 336a9cde10 hrtimer: Catch invalid clockids again
commit 82e88ff1ea ("hrtimer: Revert CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW support") removed
unfortunately a sanity check in the hrtimer code which was part of that
MONOTONIC_RAW patch series.

It would have caught the bogus usage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW in the wireless
code. So bring it back.

It is way too easy to take any random clockid and feed it to the hrtimer
subsystem. At best, it gets mapped to a monotonic base, but it would be
better to just catch illegal values as early as possible.
    
Detect invalid clockids, map them to CLOCK_MONOTONIC and emit a warning.

[ tglx: Replaced the BUG by a WARN and gracefully map to CLOCK_MONOTONIC ]

Linus Torvalds 558e8e27e7 Revert "nohz: Fix collision between tick and other hrtimers"
This reverts commit 24b91e360e and commit
7bdb59f1ad ("tick/nohz: Fix possible missing clock reprog after tick
soft restart") that depends on it,

Pavel reports that it causes occasional boot hangs for him that seem to
depend on just how the machine was booted.  In particular, his machine
hangs at around the PCI fixups of the EHCI USB host controller, but only
hangs from cold boot, not from a warm boot.

Thomas Gleixner suspecs it's a CPU hotplug interaction, particularly
since Pavel also saw suspend/resume issues that seem to be related.
We're reverting for now while trying to figure out the root cause.

Sergey Senozhatsky f222449c9d timekeeping: Use deferred printk() in debug code
We cannot do printk() from tk_debug_account_sleep_time(), because
tk_debug_account_sleep_time() is called under tk_core seq lock.
The reason why printk() is unsafe there is that console_sem may
invoke scheduler (up()->wake_up_process()->activate_task()), which,
in turn, can return back to timekeeping code, for instance, via
get_time()->ktime_get(), deadlocking the system on tk_core seq lock.

Mike Galbraith 202461e2f3 tick/broadcast: Prevent deadlock on tick_broadcast_lock
tick_broadcast_lock is taken from interrupt context, but the following call
chain takes the lock without disabling interrupts:

[   12.703736]  _raw_spin_lock+0x3b/0x50
[   12.703738]  tick_broadcast_control+0x5a/0x1a0
[   12.703742]  intel_idle_cpu_online+0x22/0x100
[   12.703744]  cpuhp_invoke_callback+0x245/0x9d0

[   12.703754]  smpboot_thread_fn+0x276/0x320

So the following deadlock can happen:

   lock(tick_broadcast_lock);
   <Interrupt>
      lock(tick_broadcast_lock);

intel_idle_cpu_online() is the only place which violates the calling
convention of tick_broadcast_control(). This was caused by the removal of
the smp function call in course of the cpu hotplug rework.

Instead of slapping local_irq_disable/enable() at the call site, we can
relax the calling convention and handle it in the core code, which makes
the whole machinery more robust.

Frederic Weisbecker 7bdb59f1ad tick/nohz: Fix possible missing clock reprog after tick soft restart
ts->next_tick keeps track of the next tick deadline in order to optimize
clock programmation on irq exit and avoid redundant clock device writes.

Now if ts->next_tick missed an update, we may spuriously miss a clock
reprog later as the nohz code is fooled by an obsolete next_tick value.

This is what happens here on a specific path: when we observe an
expired timer from the nohz update code on irq exit, we perform a soft
tick restart which simply fires the closest possible tick without
actually exiting the nohz mode and restoring a periodic state. But we
forget to update ts->next_tick accordingly.

As a result, after the next tick resulting from such soft tick restart,
the nohz code sees a stale value on ts->next_tick which doesn't match
the clock deadline that just expired. If that obsolete ts->next_tick
value happens to collide with the actual next tick deadline to be
scheduled, we may spuriously bypass the clock reprogramming. In the
worst case, the tick may never fire again.

Fix this with a ts->next_tick reset on soft tick restart.

Waiman Long 668802c257 tick/broadcast: Reduce lock cacheline contention
It was observed that on an Intel x86 system without the ARAT (Always
running APIC timer) feature and with fairly large number of CPUs as
well as CPUs coming in and out of intel_idle frequently, the lock
contention on the tick_broadcast_lock can become significant.

To reduce contention, the lock is put into its own cacheline and all
the cpumask_var_t variables are put into the __read_mostly section.

Running the SP benchmark of the NAS Parallel Benchmarks on a 4-socket
16-core 32-thread Nehalam system, the performance number improved
from 3353.94 Mop/s to 3469.31 Mop/s when this patch was applied on
a 4.9.6 kernel.  This is a 3.4% improvement.

Frederic Weisbecker 24b91e360e nohz: Fix collision between tick and other hrtimers
When the tick is stopped and an interrupt occurs afterward, we check on
that interrupt exit if the next tick needs to be rescheduled. If it
doesn't need any update, we don't want to do anything.

In order to check if the tick needs an update, we compare it against the
clockevent device deadline. Now that's a problem because the clockevent
device is at a lower level than the tick itself if it is implemented
on top of hrtimer.

Every hrtimer share this clockevent device. So comparing the next tick
deadline against the clockevent device deadline is wrong because the
device may be programmed for another hrtimer whose deadline collides
with the tick. As a result we may end up not reprogramming the tick
accidentally.

In a worst case scenario under full dynticks mode, the tick stops firing
as it is supposed to every 1hz, leaving /proc/stat stalled:

      Task in a full dynticks CPU
      ----------------------------

      * hrtimer A is queued 2 seconds ahead
      * the tick is stopped, scheduled 1 second ahead
      * tick fires 1 second later
      * on tick exit, nohz schedules the tick 1 second ahead but sees
        the clockevent device is already programmed to that deadline,
        fooled by hrtimer A, the tick isn't rescheduled.
      * hrtimer A is cancelled before its deadline
      * tick never fires again until an interrupt happens...

In order to fix this, store the next tick deadline to the tick_sched
local structure and reuse that value later to check whether we need to
reprogram the clock after an interrupt.

On the other hand, ts->sleep_length still wants to know about the next
clock event and not just the tick, so we want to improve the related
comment to avoid confusion.

dereference in tick_broadcast_setup_oneshot() because the function has no
sanity check.

Nicolas Pitre b6f8a92c9c posix-timers: give lazy compilers some help optimizing code away
The OpenRISC compiler (so far) fails to optimize away a large portion of
code containing a reference to posix_timer_event in alarmtimer.c when
CONFIG_POSIX_TIMERS is unset.  Let's give it a direct clue to let the
build succeed.

This fixes
[linux-next:master 6682/7183] alarmtimer.c:undefined reference to `posix_timer_event'

Thomas Gleixner 9c1645727b timekeeping_Force_unsigned_clocksource_to_nanoseconds_conversion
The clocksource delta to nanoseconds conversion is using signed math, but
the delta is unsigned. This makes the conversion space smaller than
necessary and in case of a multiplication overflow the conversion can
become negative. The conversion is done with scaled math:

    s64 nsec_delta = ((s64)clkdelta * clk->mult) >> clk->shift;

Shifting a signed integer right obvioulsy preserves the sign, which has
interesting consequences:
 
 - Time jumps backwards
 
 - __iter_div_u64_rem() which is used in one of the calling code pathes
   will take forever to piecewise calculate the seconds/nanoseconds part.

This has been reported by several people with different scenarios:

David observed that when stopping a VM with a debugger:

 "It was essentially the stopped by debugger case.  I forget exactly why,
  but the guest was being explicitly stopped from outside, it wasn't just
  scheduling lag.  I think it was something in the vicinity of 10 minutes
  stopped."

 When lifting the stop the machine went dead.

The stopped by debugger case is not really interesting, but nevertheless it
would be a good thing not to die completely.

But this was also observed on a live system by Liav:

 "When the OS is too overloaded, delta will get a high enough value for the
  msb of the sum delta * tkr->mult + tkr->xtime_nsec to be set, and so
  after the shift the nsec variable will gain a value similar to
  0xffffffffff000000."

Unfortunately this has been reintroduced recently with commit 6bd58f09e1
("time: Add cycles to nanoseconds translation"). It had been fixed a year
ago already in commit 35a4933a89 ("time: Avoid signed overflow in
timekeeping_get_ns()").

Though it's not surprising that the issue has been reintroduced because the
function itself and the whole call chain uses s64 for the result and the
propagation of it. The change in this recent commit is subtle:

   s64 nsec;

-  nsec = (d * m + n) >> s:
+  nsec = d * m + n;
+  nsec >>= s;

d being type of cycle_t adds another level of obfuscation.

This wouldn't have happened if the previous change to unsigned computation
would have made the 'nsec' variable u64 right away and a follow up patch
had cleaned up the whole call chain.

There have been patches submitted which basically did a revert of the above
patch leaving everything else unchanged as signed. Back to square one. This
spawned a admittedly pointless discussion about potential users which rely
on the unsigned behaviour until someone pointed out that it had been fixed
before. The changelogs of said patches added further confusion as they made
finally false claims about the consequences for eventual users which expect
signed results.

Despite delta being cycle_t, aka. u64, it's very well possible to hand in
a signed negative value and the signed computation will happily return the
correct result. But nobody actually sat down and analyzed the code which
was added as user after the propably unintended signed conversion.

Though in sensitive code like this it's better to analyze it proper and
make sure that nothing relies on this than hunting the subtle wreckage half
a year later. After analyzing all call chains it stands that no caller can
hand in a negative value (which actually would work due to the s64 cast)
and rely on the signed math to do the right thing.

Change the conversion function to unsigned math. The conversion of all call
chains is done in a follow up patch.

This solves the starvation issue, which was caused by the negative result,
but it does not solve the underlying problem. It merily procrastinates
it. When the timekeeper update is deferred long enough that the unsigned
multiplication overflows, then time going backwards is observable again.

It does neither solve the issue of clocksources with a small counter width
which will wrap around possibly several times and cause random time stamps
to be generated. But those are usually not found on systems used for
virtualization, so this is likely a non issue.

I took the liberty to claim authorship for this simply because
analyzing all callsites and writing the changelog took substantially
more time than just making the simple s/s64/u64/ change and ignore the
rest.

Murali Karicheri 5304121ada clocksource: export the clocks_calc_mult_shift to use by timestamp code
The CPSW CPTS driver is capable of doing timestamping on tx/rx packets and
requires to know mult and shift factors for timestamp conversion from raw
value to nanoseconds (ptp clock). Now these mult and shift factors are
calculated manually and provided through DT, which makes very hard to
support of a lot number of platforms, especially if CPTS refclk is not the
same for some kind of boards and depends on efuse settings (Keystone 2
platforms). Hence, export clocks_calc_mult_shift() to allow drivers like
CPSW CPTS (and other ptp drivesr) to benefit from automaitc calculation of
mult and shift factors.

Baolin Wang 4a057549d6 alarmtimer: Add tracepoints for alarm timers
Alarm timers are one of the mechanisms to wake up a system from suspend,
but there exist no tracepoints to analyse which process/thread armed an
alarmtimer.

Add tracepoints for start/cancel/expire of individual alarm timers and one
for tracing the suspend time decision when to resume the system.

The following trace excerpt illustrates the new mechanism:

system_server-3000  [002] ...1  162.701940: alarmtimer_suspend:
alarmtimer type:REALTIME expires:1325376840000000000

The wakeup time which is selected at suspend time allows to map it back to
the task arming the timer: Binder:3292_2.

[ tglx: Store alarm timer expiry time instead of some useless RTC relative
  	information, add proper type information for wakeups which are
  	handled via the clock_nanosleep/freezer and massage the changelog. ]

Joel Fernandes 948a5312f4 timekeeping: Add a fast and NMI safe boot clock
This boot clock can be used as a tracing clock and will account for
suspend time.

To keep it NMI safe since we're accessing from tracing, we're not using a
separate timekeeper with updates to monotonic clock and boot offset
protected with seqlocks. This has the following minor side effects:

(1) Its possible that a timestamp be taken after the boot offset is updated
but before the timekeeper is updated. If this happens, the new boot offset
is added to the old timekeeping making the clock appear to update slightly
earlier:
   CPU 0                                        CPU 1
   timekeeping_inject_sleeptime64()
   __timekeeping_inject_sleeptime(tk, delta);
                                                timestamp();
   timekeeping_update(tk, TK_CLEAR_NTP...);

(2) On 32-bit systems, the 64-bit boot offset (tk->offs_boot) may be
partially updated.  Since the tk->offs_boot update is a rare event, this
should be a rare occurrence which postprocessing should be able to handle.

Nicolas Pitre baa73d9e47 posix-timers: Make them configurable
Some embedded systems have no use for them.  This removes about
25KB from the kernel binary size when configured out.

Corresponding syscalls are routed to a stub logging the attempt to
use those syscalls which should be enough of a clue if they were
disabled without proper consideration. They are: timer_create,
timer_gettime: timer_getoverrun, timer_settime, timer_delete,
clock_adjtime, setitimer, getitimer, alarm.

The clock_settime, clock_gettime, clock_getres and clock_nanosleep
syscalls are replaced by simple wrappers compatible with CLOCK_REALTIME,
CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_BOOTTIME only which should cover the vast
majority of use cases with very little code.

Stanislaw Gruszka 353c50ebe3 sched/cputime: Simplify task_cputime()
Now since fetch_task_cputime() has no other users than task_cputime(),
its code could be used directly in task_cputime().

Moreover since only 2 task_cputime() calls of 17 use a NULL argument,
we can add dummy variables to those calls and remove NULL checks from
task_cputimes().

Also remove NULL checks from task_cputimes_scaled().

Douglas Anderson 4b7e9cf9c8 timers: Fix documentation for schedule_timeout() and similar
The documentation for schedule_timeout(), schedule_hrtimeout(), and
schedule_hrtimeout_range() all claim that the routines couldn't possibly
return early if the task state was TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE. This is simply
not true since wake_up_process() will cause those routines to exit early.

We cannot make schedule_[hr]timeout() loop until the timeout expires if the
task state is uninterruptible because we have users which rely on the
existing and designed behaviour.

Make the documentation match the (correct) implementation.

schedule_hrtimeout() returns -EINTR even when a uninterruptible task was
woken up. This might look strange, but making the return code depend on the
state is too much of an effort as it would affect all the call sites. There
is no value in doing so, but we spell it out clearly in the documentation.

Douglas Anderson 6c5e905969 timers: Fix usleep_range() in the context of wake_up_process()
Users of usleep_range() expect that it will _never_ return in less time
than the minimum passed parameter. However, nothing in the code ensures
this, when the sleeping task is woken by wake_up_process() or any other
mechanism which can wake a task from uninterruptible state.

Neither usleep_range() nor schedule_hrtimeout_range*() have any protection
against wakeups. schedule_hrtimeout_range*() is designed this way despite
the fact that the API documentation does not mention it.

msleep() already has code to handle this case since it will loop as long
as there was still time left.  usleep_range() has no such loop, add it.

Presumably this problem was not detected before because usleep_range() is
only used in a few places and the function is mostly used in contexts which
are not exposed to wakeups of any form.

An effort was made to look for users relying on the old behavior by
looking for usleep_range() in the same file as wake_up_process().
No problems were found by this search, though it is conceivable that
someone could have put the sleep and wakeup in two different files.

An effort was made to ask several upstream maintainers if they were aware
of people relying on wake_up_process() to wake up usleep_range(). No
maintainers were aware of that but they were aware of many people relying
on usleep_range() never returning before the minimum.

Thomas Gleixner 6bad6bccf2 timers: Prevent base clock corruption when forwarding
When a timer is enqueued we try to forward the timer base clock. This
mechanism has two issues:

1) Forwarding a remote base unlocked

The forwarding function is called from get_target_base() with the current
timer base lock held. But if the new target base is a different base than
the current base (can happen with NOHZ, sigh!) then the forwarding is done
on an unlocked base. This can lead to corruption of base->clk.

Solution is simple: Invoke the forwarding after the target base is locked.

2) Possible corruption due to jiffies advancing

This is similar to the issue in get_net_timer_interrupt() which was fixed
in the previous patch. jiffies can advance between check and assignement
and therefore advancing base->clk beyond the next expiry value.

So we need to read jiffies into a local variable once and do the checks and
assignment with the local copy.

Thomas Gleixner 041ad7bc75 timers: Prevent base clock rewind when forwarding clock
Ashton and Michael reported, that kernel versions 4.8 and later suffer from
USB timeouts which are caused by the timer wheel rework.

This is caused by a bug in the base clock forwarding mechanism, which leads
to timers expiring early. The scenario which leads to this is:

run_timers()
  while (jiffies >= base->clk) {
    collect_expired_timers();
    base->clk++;
    expire_timers();
  }          

So base->clk = jiffies + 1. Now the cpu goes idle:

idle()
  get_next_timer_interrupt()
    nextevt = __next_time_interrupt();
    if (time_after(nextevt, base->clk))
       	base->clk = jiffies;

jiffies has not advanced since run_timers(), so this assignment effectively
decrements base->clk by one.

base->clk is the index into the timer wheel arrays. So let's assume the
following state after the base->clk increment in run_timers():

 jiffies = 0
 base->clk = 1

A timer gets enqueued with an expiry delta of 63 ticks (which is the case
with the USB timeout and HZ=250) so the resulting bucket index is:

  base->clk + delta = 1 + 63 = 64

The timer goes into the first wheel level. The array size is 64 so it ends
up in bucket 0, which is correct as it takes 63 ticks to advance base->clk
to index into bucket 0 again.

If the cpu goes idle before jiffies advance, then the bug in the forwarding
mechanism sets base->clk back to 0, so the next invocation of run_timers()
at the next tick will index into bucket 0 and therefore expire the timer 62
ticks too early.

Instead of blindly setting base->clk to jiffies we must make the forwarding
conditional on jiffies > base->clk, but we cannot use jiffies for this as
we might run into the following issue:

  if (time_after(jiffies, base->clk) {
    if (time_after(nextevt, base->clk))
       base->clk = jiffies;

jiffies can increment between the check and the assigment far enough to
advance beyond nextevt. So we need to use a stable value for checking.

get_next_timer_interrupt() has the basej argument which is the jiffies
value snapshot taken in the calling code. So we can just that.

Thanks to Ashton for bisecting and providing trace data!

Thomas Gleixner 4da9152a43 timers: Lock base for same bucket optimization
Linus stumbled over the unlocked modification of the timer expiry value in
mod_timer() which is an optimization for timers which stay in the same
bucket - due to the bucket granularity - despite their expiry time getting
updated.

The optimization itself still makes sense even if we take the lock, because
in case that the bucket stays the same, we avoid the pointless
queue/enqueue dance.

Make the check and the modification of timer->expires protected by the base
lock and shuffle the remaining code around so we can keep the lock held
when we actually have to requeue the timer to a different bucket.
