Pull time(r) updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A small set of updates for timers and timekeeping:
- The most interesting change is the consolidation of clock MONOTONIC
and clock BOOTTIME.
Clock MONOTONIC behaves now exactly like clock BOOTTIME and does
not longer ignore the time spent in suspend. A new clock
MONOTONIC_ACTIVE is provived which behaves like clock MONOTONIC in
kernels before this change. This allows applications to
programmatically check for the clock MONOTONIC behaviour.
As discussed in the review thread, this has the potential of
breaking user space and we might have to revert this. Knock on wood
that we can avoid that exercise.
- Updates to the NTP mechanism to improve accuracy
- A new kernel internal data structure to aid the ongoing Y2038 work.
- Cleanups and simplifications of the clocksource code.

Protect it against spectre v1 array out of bounds speculation. Remove the

Dealing with 'struct timeval' users in the y2038 series is a bit tricky:
We have two definitions of timeval that are visible to user space,
one comes from glibc (or some other C library), the other comes from
linux/time.h. The kernel copy is what we want to be used for a number of
structures defined by the kernel itself, e.g. elf_prstatus (used it core
dumps), sysinfo and rusage (used in system calls). These generally tend
to be used for passing time intervals rather than absolute (epoch-based)
times, so they do not suffer from the y2038 overflow. Some of them
could be changed to use 64-bit timestamps by creating new system calls,
others like the core files cannot easily be changed.
An application using these interfaces likely also uses gettimeofday()
or other interfaces that use absolute times, and pass 'struct timeval'
pointers directly into kernel interfaces, so glibc must redefine their
timeval based on a 64-bit time_t when they introduce their y2038-safe
interfaces.
The only reasonable way forward I see is to remove the 'timeval'
definion from the kernel's uapi headers, and change the interfaces that
we do not want to (or cannot) duplicate for 64-bit times to use a new
__kernel_old_timeval definition instead. This type should be avoided
for all new interfaces (those can use 64-bit nanoseconds, or the 64-bit
version of timespec instead), and should be used with great care when
converting existing interfaces from timeval, to be sure they don't suffer
from the y2038 overflow, and only with consensus for the particular user
that using __kernel_old_timeval is better than moving to a 64-bit based
interface. The structure name is intentionally chosen to not conflict
with user space types, and to be ugly enough to discourage its use.
Note that ioctl based interfaces that pass a bare 'timeval' pointer
cannot change to '__kernel_old_timeval' because the user space source
code refers to 'timeval' instead, and we don't want to modify the user
space sources if possible. However, any application that relies on a
structure to contain an embedded 'timeval' (e.g. by passing a pointer
to the member into a function call that expects a timeval pointer) is
broken when that structure gets converted to __kernel_old_timeval. I
don't see any way around that, and we have to rely on the compiler to
produce a warning or compile failure that will alert users when they
recompile their sources against a new libc.

The MONOTONIC clock is not fast forwarded by the time spent in suspend on
resume. This is only done for the BOOTTIME clock. The reason why the
MONOTONIC clock is not forwarded is historical: the original Linux
implementation was using jiffies as a base for the MONOTONIC clock and
jiffies have never been advanced after resume.
At some point when timekeeping was unified in the core code, the
MONONOTIC clock was advanced after resume which also advanced jiffies causing
interesting side effects. As a consequence the the MONOTONIC clock forwarding
was disabled again and the BOOTTIME clock was introduced, which allows to read
time since boot.
Back then it was not possible to completely distangle the MONOTONIC clock and
jiffies because there were still interfaces which exposed the MONOTONIC clock
behaviour based on the timer wheel and therefore jiffies.
As of today none of the MONOTONIC clock facilities depends on jiffies
anymore so the forwarding can be done seperately. This is achieved by
forwarding the variables which are used for the jiffies update after resume
before the tick is restarted,
In timekeeping resume, the change is rather simple. Instead of updating the
offset between the MONOTONIC clock and the REALTIME/BOOTTIME clocks, advance the
time keeper base for the MONOTONIC and the MONOTONIC_RAW clocks by the time
spent in suspend.
The MONOTONIC clock is now the same as the BOOTTIME clock and the offset between
the REALTIME and the MONOTONIC clocks is the same as before suspend.
There might be side effects in applications, which rely on the
(unfortunately) well documented behaviour of the MONOTONIC clock, but the
downsides of the existing behaviour are probably worse.
There is one obvious issue. Up to now it was possible to retrieve the time
spent in suspend by observing the delta between the MONOTONIC clock and the
BOOTTIME clock. This is not longer available, but the previously introduced
mechanism to read the active non-suspended monotonic time can mitigate that
in a detectable fashion.

The planned change to unify the behaviour of the MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME
clocks vs. suspend removes the ability to retrieve the active
non-suspended time of a system.
Provide a new CLOCK_MONOTONIC_ACTIVE clock which returns the active
non-suspended time of the system via clock_gettime().
This preserves the old behaviour of CLOCK_MONOTONIC before the
BOOTTIME/MONOTONIC unification.
This new clock also allows applications to detect programmatically that
the MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME clocks are identical.

When the length of the NTP tick changes significantly, e.g. when an
NTP/PTP application is correcting the initial offset of the clock, a
large value may accumulate in the NTP error before the multiplier
converges to the correct value. It may then take a very long time (hours
or even days) before the error is corrected. This causes the clock to
have an unstable frequency offset, which has a negative impact on the
stability of synchronization with precise time sources (e.g. NTP/PTP
using hardware timestamping or the PTP KVM clock).
Use division to determine the correct multiplier directly from the NTP
tick length and replace the iterative approach. This removes the last
major source of the NTP error. The only remaining source is now limited
resolution of the multiplier, which is corrected by adding 1 to the
multiplier when the system clock is behind the NTP time.

When the timekeeping multiplier is changed, the NTP error is updated to
correct the clock for the delay between the tick and the update of the
clock. This error is corrected in later updates and the clock appears as
if the frequency was changed exactly on the tick.
Remove this correction to keep the point where the frequency is
effectively changed at the time of the update. This removes a major
source of the NTP error.

an atomic.
Secondary is that we appear to have 2 nearly identical hooks in the
nohz enter code, set_cpu_sd_state_idle() and
nohz_balance_enter_idle(). Fold the whole set_cpu_sd_state thing into
nohz_balance_{enter,exit}_idle.

On CPU hotunplug the enqueued timers of the unplugged CPU are migrated to a
live CPU. This happens from the control thread which initiated the unplug.
If the CPU on which the control thread runs came out from a longer idle
period then the base clock of that CPU might be stale because the control
thread runs prior to any event which forwards the clock.
In such a case the timers from the unplugged CPU are queued on the live CPU
based on the stale clock which can cause large delays due to increased
granularity of the outer timer wheels which are far away from base:;clock.
But there is a worse problem than that. The following sequence of events
illustrates it:
- CPU0 timer1 is queued expires = 59969 and base->clk = 59131.
The timer is queued at wheel level 2, with resulting expiry time = 60032
(due to level granularity).
- CPU1 enters idle @60007, with next timer expiry @60020.
- CPU0 is hotplugged at @60009
- CPU1 exits idle and runs the control thread which migrates the
timers from CPU0
timer1 is now queued in level 0 for immediate handling in the next
softirq because the requested expiry time 59969 is before CPU1 base->clk
60007
- CPU1 runs code which forwards the base clock which succeeds because the
next expiring timer. which was collected at idle entry time is still set
to 60020.
So it forwards beyond 60007 and therefore misses to expire the migrated
timer1. That timer gets expired when the wheel wraps around again, which
takes between 63 and 630ms depending on the HZ setting.
Address both problems by invoking forward_timer_base() for the control CPUs
timer base. All other places, which might run into a similar problem
(mod_timer()/add_timer_on()) already invoke forward_timer_base() to avoid
that.

Because no one has complained about CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL=y being broken,
I hypothesize that no one is in fact using it, other than rcutorture.
This commit therefore eliminates CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL and updates
rcutorture's config files to instead use the nohz_full= kernel parameter
to put the desired CPUs into nohz_full mode.

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:
for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\<POLL$V\>\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
done
with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.
NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do. But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.
The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.

Pull poll annotations from Al Viro:
"This introduces a __bitwise type for POLL### bitmap, and propagates
the annotations through the tree. Most of that stuff is as simple as
'make ->poll() instances return __poll_t and do the same to local
variables used to hold the future return value'.
Some of the obvious brainos found in process are fixed (e.g. POLLIN
misspelled as POLL_IN). At that point the amount of sparse warnings is
low and most of them are for genuine bugs - e.g. ->poll() instance
deciding to return -EINVAL instead of a bitmap. I hadn't touched those
in this series - it's large enough as it is.
Another problem it has caught was eventpoll() ABI mess; select.c and
eventpoll.c assumed that corresponding POLL### and EPOLL### were
equal. That's true for some, but not all of them - EPOLL### are
arch-independent, but POLL### are not.
The last commit in this series separates userland POLL### values from
the (now arch-independent) kernel-side ones, converting between them
in the few places where they are copied to/from userland. AFAICS, this
is the least disruptive fix preserving poll(2) ABI and making epoll()
work on all architectures.
As it is, it's simply broken on sparc - try to give it EPOLLWRNORM and
it will trigger only on what would've triggered EPOLLWRBAND on other
architectures. EPOLLWRBAND and EPOLLRDHUP, OTOH, are never triggered
at all on sparc. With this patch they should work consistently on all
architectures"

Pull siginfo cleanups from Eric Biederman:
"Long ago when 2.4 was just a testing release copy_siginfo_to_user was
made to copy individual fields to userspace, possibly for efficiency
and to ensure initialized values were not copied to userspace.
Unfortunately the design was complex, it's assumptions unstated, and
humans are fallible and so while it worked much of the time that
design failed to ensure unitialized memory is not copied to userspace.
This set of changes is part of a new design to clean up siginfo and
simplify things, and hopefully make the siginfo handling robust enough
that a simple inspection of the code can be made to ensure we don't
copy any unitializied fields to userspace.
The design is to unify struct siginfo and struct compat_siginfo into a
single definition that is shared between all architectures so that
anyone adding to the set of information shared with struct siginfo can
see the whole picture. Hopefully ensuring all future si_code
assignments are arch independent.
The design is to unify copy_siginfo_to_user32 and
copy_siginfo_from_user32 so that those function are complete and cope
with all of the different cases documented in signinfo_layout. I don't
think there was a single implementation of either of those functions
that was complete and correct before my changes unified them.
The design is to introduce a series of helpers including
force_siginfo_fault that take the values that are needed in struct
siginfo and build the siginfo structure for their callers. Ensuring
struct siginfo is built correctly.
The remaining work for 4.17 (unless someone thinks it is post -rc1
material) is to push usage of those helpers down into the
architectures so that architecture specific code will not need to deal
with the fiddly work of intializing struct siginfo, and then when
struct siginfo is guaranteed to be fully initialized change copy
siginfo_to_user into a simple wrapper around copy_to_user.
Further there is work in progress on the issues that have been
documented requires arch specific knowledge to sort out.
The changes below fix or at least document all of the issues that have
been found with siginfo generation. Then proceed to unify struct
siginfo the 32 bit helpers that copy siginfo to and from userspace,
and generally clean up anything that is not arch specific with regards
to siginfo generation.
It is a lot but with the unification you can of siginfo you can
already see the code reduction in the kernel"

The hrtimer interrupt code contains a hang detection and mitigation
mechanism, which prevents that a long delayed hrtimer interrupt causes a
continous retriggering of interrupts which prevent the system from making
progress. If a hang is detected then the timer hardware is programmed with
a certain delay into the future and a flag is set in the hrtimer cpu base
which prevents newly enqueued timers from reprogramming the timer hardware
prior to the chosen delay. The subsequent hrtimer interrupt after the delay
clears the flag and resumes normal operation.
If such a hang happens in the last hrtimer interrupt before a CPU is
unplugged then the hang_detected flag is set and stays that way when the
CPU is plugged in again. At that point the timer hardware is not armed and
it cannot be armed because the hang_detected flag is still active, so
nothing clears that flag. As a consequence the CPU does not receive hrtimer
interrupts and no timers expire on that CPU which results in RCU stalls and
other malfunctions.
Clear the flag along with some other less critical members of the hrtimer
cpu base to ensure starting from a clean state when a CPU is plugged in.
Thanks to Paul, Sebastian and Anna-Maria for their help to get down to the
root cause of that hard to reproduce heisenbug. Once understood it's
trivial and certainly justifies a brown paperbag.

hrtimer callbacks are always invoked in hard interrupt context. Several
users in tree require soft interrupt context for their callbacks and
achieve this by combining a hrtimer with a tasklet. The hrtimer schedules
the tasklet in hard interrupt context and the tasklet callback gets invoked
in softirq context later.
That's suboptimal and aside of that the real-time patch moves most of the
hrtimers into softirq context. So adding native support for hrtimers
expiring in softirq context is a valuable extension for both mainline and
the RT patch set.
Each valid hrtimer clock id has two associated hrtimer clock bases: one for
timers expiring in hardirq context and one for timers expiring in softirq
context.
Implement the functionality to associate a hrtimer with the hard or softirq
related clock bases and update the relevant functions to take them into
account when the next expiry time needs to be evaluated.
Add a check into the hard interrupt context handler functions to check
whether the first expiring softirq based timer has expired. If it's expired
the softirq is raised and the accounting of softirq based timers to
evaluate the next expiry time for programming the timer hardware is skipped
until the softirq processing has finished. At the end of the softirq
processing the regular processing is resumed.

Currently hrtimer callback functions are always executed in hard interrupt
context. Users of hrtimers, which need their timer function to be executed
in soft interrupt context, make use of tasklets to get the proper context.
Add additional hrtimer clock bases for timers which must expire in softirq
context, so the detour via the tasklet can be avoided. This is also
required for RT, where the majority of hrtimer is moved into softirq
hrtimer context.
The selection of the expiry mode happens via a mode bit. Introduce
HRTIMER_MODE_SOFT and the matching combinations with the ABS/REL/PINNED
bits and update the decoding of hrtimer_mode in tracepoints.

__run_hrtimer() is called with the hrtimer_cpu_base.lock held and
interrupts disabled. Before invoking the timer callback the base lock is
dropped, but interrupts stay disabled.
The upcoming support for softirq based hrtimers requires that interrupts
are enabled before the timer callback is invoked.
To avoid code duplication, take hrtimer_cpu_base.lock with
raw_spin_lock_irqsave(flags) at the call site and hand in the flags as
a parameter. So raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore() before the callback invocation
will either keep interrupts disabled in interrupt context or restore to
interrupt enabled state when called from softirq context.

hrtimer_reprogram() must have access to the hrtimer_clock_base of the new
first expiring timer to access hrtimer_clock_base.offset for adjusting the
expiry time to CLOCK_MONOTONIC. This is required to evaluate whether the
new left most timer in the hrtimer_clock_base is the first expiring timer
of all clock bases in a hrtimer_cpu_base.
The only user of hrtimer_reprogram() is hrtimer_start_range_ns(), which has
a pointer to hrtimer_clock_base() already and hands it in as a parameter. But
hrtimer_start_range_ns() will be split for the upcoming support for softirq
based hrtimers to avoid code duplication and will lose the direct access to
the clock base pointer.
Instead of handing in timer and timer->base as a parameter remove the base
parameter from hrtimer_reprogram() instead and retrieve the clock base internally.

The current decision whether a timer can be queued on a remote CPU checks
for timer->expiry <= remote_cpu_base.expires_next.
This is too restrictive because a timer with the same expiry time as an
existing timer will be enqueued on right-hand size of the existing timer
inside the rbtree, i.e. behind the first expiring timer.
So its safe to allow enqueuing timers with the same expiry time as the
first expiring timer on a remote CPU base.

hrtimer_reprogram() is conditionally invoked from hrtimer_start_range_ns()
when hrtimer_cpu_base.hres_active is true.
In the !hres_active case there is a special condition for the nohz_active
case:
If the newly enqueued timer expires before the first expiring timer on a
remote CPU then the remote CPU needs to be notified and woken up from a
NOHZ idle sleep to take the new first expiring timer into account.
Previous changes have already established the prerequisites to make the
remote enqueue behaviour the same whether high resolution mode is active or
not:
If the to be enqueued timer expires before the first expiring timer on a
remote CPU, then it cannot be enqueued there.
This was done for the high resolution mode because there is no way to
access the remote CPU timer hardware. The same is true for NOHZ, but was
handled differently by unconditionally enqueuing the timer and waking up
the remote CPU so it can reprogram its timer. Again there is no compelling
reason for this difference.
hrtimer_check_target(), which makes the 'can remote enqueue' decision is
already unconditional, but not yet functional because nothing updates
hrtimer_cpu_base.expires_next in the !hres_active case.
To unify this the following changes are required:
1) Make the store of the new first expiry time unconditonal in
hrtimer_reprogram() and check __hrtimer_hres_active() before proceeding
to the actual hardware access. This check also lets the compiler
eliminate the rest of the function in case of CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=n.
2) Invoke hrtimer_reprogram() unconditionally from
hrtimer_start_range_ns()
3) Remove the remote wakeup special case for the !high_res && nohz_active
case.
Confine the timers_nohz_active static key to timer.c which is the only user
now.

When the first hrtimer on the current CPU is removed,
hrtimer_force_reprogram() is invoked but only when
CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=y and hrtimer_cpu_base.hres_active is set.
hrtimer_force_reprogram() updates hrtimer_cpu_base.expires_next and
reprograms the clock event device. When CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=y and
hrtimer_cpu_base.hres_active is set, a pointless hrtimer interrupt can be
prevented.
hrtimer_check_target() makes the 'can remote enqueue' decision. As soon as
hrtimer_check_target() is unconditionally available and
hrtimer_cpu_base.expires_next is updated by hrtimer_reprogram(),
hrtimer_force_reprogram() needs to be available unconditionally as well to
prevent the following scenario with CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=n:
- the first hrtimer on this CPU is removed and hrtimer_force_reprogram() is
not executed
- CPU goes idle (next timer is calculated and hrtimers are taken into
account)
- a hrtimer is enqueued remote on the idle CPU: hrtimer_check_target()
compares expiry value and hrtimer_cpu_base.expires_next. The expiry value
is after expires_next, so the hrtimer is enqueued. This timer will fire
late, if it expires before the effective first hrtimer on this CPU and
the comparison was with an outdated expires_next value.
To prevent this scenario, make hrtimer_force_reprogram() unconditional
except the effective reprogramming part, which gets eliminated by the
compiler in the CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=n case.

Making it unconditional increases the text size for the

[ Made it build on !CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS ]
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
hrtimer_reprogram() needs to be available unconditionally for softirq based
hrtimers. Move the function and all required struct members out of the
CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS #ifdef.
There is no functional change because hrtimer_reprogram() is only invoked
when hrtimer_cpu_base.hres_active is true. Making it unconditional
increases the text size for the CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=n case, but avoids
replication of that code for the upcoming softirq based hrtimers support.

hrtimer_cpu_base.next_timer stores the pointer to the next expiring timer
in a CPU base.
This pointer cannot be dereferenced and is solely used to check whether a
hrtimer which is removed is the hrtimer which is the first to expire in the
CPU base. If this is the case, then the timer hardware needs to be
reprogrammed to avoid an extra interrupt for nothing.
Again, this is conditional functionality, but there is no compelling reason
to make this conditional. As a preparation, hrtimer_cpu_base.next_timer
needs to be available unconditonally.
Aside of that the upcoming support for softirq based hrtimers requires access
to this pointer unconditionally as well, so our motivation is not entirely
simplicity based.
Make the update of hrtimer_cpu_base.next_timer unconditional and remove the
#ifdef cruft. The impact on CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=n && CONFIG_NOHZ=n is
marginal as it's just a store on an already dirtied cacheline.
No functional change.

hrtimer_cpu_base.expires_next is used to cache the next event armed in the
timer hardware. The value is used to check whether an hrtimer can be
enqueued remotely. If the new hrtimer is expiring before expires_next, then
remote enqueue is not possible as the remote hrtimer hardware cannot be
accessed for reprogramming to an earlier expiry time.
The remote enqueue check is currently conditional on
CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=y and hrtimer_cpu_base.hres_active. There is no
compelling reason to make this conditional.
Move hrtimer_cpu_base.expires_next out of the CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=y
guarded area and remove the conditionals in hrtimer_check_target().
The check is currently a NOOP for the CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=n and the
!hrtimer_cpu_base.hres_active case because in these cases nothing updates
hrtimer_cpu_base.expires_next yet. This will be changed with later patches
which further reduce the #ifdef zoo in this code.

__hrtimer_hres_active() is now available unconditionally, so replace open
coded direct accesses to hrtimer_cpu_base.hres_active.

The hrtimer_cpu_base::hres_active_member field depends on CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=y
currently, and all related functions to this member are conditional as well.
To simplify the code make it unconditional and set it to zero during initialization.
(This will also help with the upcoming softirq based hrtimers code.)
The conditional code sections can be avoided by adding IS_ENABLED(HIGHRES)
conditionals into common functions, which ensures dead code elimination.
There is no functional change.

The pointer to the currently running timer is stored in hrtimer_cpu_base
before the base lock is dropped and the callback is invoked.
This results in two levels of indirections and the upcoming support for
softirq based hrtimer requires splitting the "running" storage into soft
and hard IRQ context expiry.
Storing both in the cpu base would require conditionals in all code paths
accessing that information.
It's possible to have a per clock base sequence count and running pointer
without changing the semantics of the related mechanisms because the timer
base pointer cannot be changed while a timer is running the callback.
Unfortunately this makes cpu_clock base larger than 32 bytes on 32-bit
kernels. Instead of having huge gaps due to alignment, remove the alignment
and let the compiler pack CPU base for 32-bit kernels. The resulting cache access
patterns are fortunately not really different from the current
behaviour. On 64-bit kernels the 64-byte alignment stays and the behaviour is
unchanged. This was determined by analyzing the resulting layout and
looking at the number of cache lines involved for the frequently used
clocks.
