smp_call_function_* must not be called from softirq context. But clock_was_set() which calls on_each_cpu() is called from softirq context to implement a delayed clock_was_set() for the timer interrupt handler. Though that almost never gets invoked. A recent change in the resume code uses the softirq based delayed clock_was_set to support Xens resume mechanism. linux-next contains a new warning which warns if smp_call_function_* is called from softirq context which gets triggered by that Xen change. Fix this by moving the delayed clock_was_set() call to a work context.

Up to commit 5d33b883 (clocksource: Always verify highres capability) we had no sanity check when selecting a clocksource, which prevented that a non highres capable clocksource is used when the system already switched to highres/nohz mode. The new sanity check works as Alex and Tim found out. It prevents the TSC from being used. This happens because on x86 the boot process looks like this: tsc_start_freqency_validation(TSC); clocksource_register(HPET); clocksource_done_booting(); clocksource_select() Selects HPET which is valid for high-res switch_to_highres(); clocksource_register(TSC); TSC is not selected, because it is not yet flagged as VALID_HIGH_RES clocksource_watchdog() Validates TSC for highres, but that does not make TSC the current clocksource. Before the sanity check was added, we installed TSC unvalidated which worked most of the time. If the TSC was really detected as unstable, then the unstable logic removed it and installed HPET again. The sanity check is correct and needed. So the watchdog needs to kick a reselection of the clocksource, when it qualifies TSC as a valid high res clocksource. To solve this, we mark the clocksource which got the flag CLOCK_SOURCE_VALID_FOR_HRES set by the watchdog with an new flag CLOCK_SOURCE_RESELECT and trigger the watchdog thread. The watchdog thread evaluates the flag and invokes clocksource_select() when set. To avoid that the clocksource_done_booting() code, which is about to install the first real clocksource anyway, needs to go through clocksource_select and tick_oneshot_notify() pointlessly, split out the clocksource_watchdog_kthread() list walk code and invoke the select/notify only when called from clocksource_watchdog_kthread(). So clocksource_done_booting() can utilize the same splitout code without the select/notify invocation and the clocksource_mutex unlock/relock dance.

When tsk->signal->cputimer->running is 1, signal->cputimer (i.e. per process timer account) and tsk->sum_sched_runtime (i.e. per thread timer account) increase at the same pace because update_curr() increases both accounting. However, there is one exception. When thread exiting, __exit_signal() turns over task's sum_shced_runtime to sig->sum_sched_runtime, but it doesn't stop signal->cputimer accounting. This inconsistency makes POSIX timer wake up too early. This patch fixes it.

When a task exits, we perform a caching of the remaining cputime delta before expiring of its timers. This is done from the following places: * When the task is reaped. We iterate through its list of posix cpu timers and store the remaining timer delta to the timer struct instead of the absolute value. (See posix_cpu_timers_exit() / posix_cpu_timers_exit_group() ) * When we call posix_cpu_timer_get() or posix_cpu_timer_schedule(). If the timer's task is considered dying when watched from these places, the same conversion from absolute to relative expiry time is performed. Then the given task's reference is released. (See clear_dead_task() ). The relevance of this caching is questionable but this is another and deeper debate. The big issue here is that these two sources of caching don't mix up very well together. More specifically, the caching can easily be done twice, resulting in a wrong delta as it gets spuriously substracted a second time by the elapsed clock. This can happen in the following scenario: 1) The task exits and gets reaped: we call posix_cpu_timers_exit() and the absolute timer expiry values are converted to a relative delta. 2) timer_gettime() -> posix_cpu_timer_get() is called and relies on clear_dead_task() because tsk->exit_state == EXIT_DEAD. The delta gets substracted again by the elapsed clock and we return a wrong result. To fix this, just remove the caching done on task reaping time. It doesn't bring much value on its own. The caching done from posix_cpu_timer_get/schedule is enough. And it would also be hard to get it really right: we could make it put and clear the target task in the timer struct so that readers know if they are dealing with a relative cached of absolute value. But it would be racy. The only safe way to do it would be to lock the itimer->it_lock so that we know nobody reads the cputime expiry value while we modify it and its target task reference. Doing so would involve some funny workarounds to avoid circular lock against the sighand lock. There is just no reason to maintain this. The user visible effect of this patch can be observed by running the following code: it creates a subthread that launches a posix cputimer which expires after 10 seconds. But then the subthread only busy loops for 2 seconds and exits. The parent reaps the subthread and read the timer value. Its expected value should the be the initial timer's expiration value minus the cputime elapsed in the subthread. Roughly 10 - 2 = 8 seconds: #include <sys/time.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <time.h> #include <pthread.h> static timer_t id; static struct itimerspec val = { .it_value.tv_sec = 10, }, new; static void *thread(void *unused) { int err; struct timeval start, end, diff; timer_create(CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID, NULL, &id); if (err < 0) { perror("Can't create timer\n"); return NULL; } /* Arm 10 sec timer */ err = timer_settime(id, 0, &val, NULL); if (err < 0) { perror("Can't set timer\n"); return NULL; } /* Exit after 2 seconds of execution */ gettimeofday(&start, NULL); do { gettimeofday(&end, NULL); timersub(&end, &start, &diff); } while (diff.tv_sec < 2); return NULL; } int main(int argc, char **argv) { pthread_t pthread; int err; err = pthread_create(&pthread, NULL, thread, NULL); if (err) { perror("Can't create thread\n"); return -1; } pthread_join(pthread, NULL); /* Just wait a little bit to make sure the child got reaped */ sleep(1); err = timer_gettime(id, &new); if (err) perror("Can't get timer value\n"); printf("%d %ld\n", new.it_value.tv_sec, new.it_value.tv_nsec); return 0; } Before the patch: $ ./posix_cpu_timers 6 2278074 After the patch: $ ./posix_cpu_timers 8 1158766 Before the patch, the elapsed time got two more seconds spuriously accounted.

In order to re-arm a timer after it fired, we take a sample of the current process or thread cputime. If the task is dying though, we don't arm anything but we cache the remaining timer expiration delta for further reads. Something similar is performed in posix_cpu_timer_get() but here we forget to take the process wide cputime sample before caching it. As a result we are storing random stack content, leading every further reads of that timer to return junk values. Fix this by taking the appropriate sample in the case of process wide timers. This probably doesn't matter much in practice because, at this stage, the thread is the last one in the group and we reached exit_notify(). This implies that we called exit_itimers() and there should be no more timers to handle for that task. So this is likely dead code anyway but let's fix the current logic and the warning that came along: kernel/posix-cpu-timers.c: In function 'posix_cpu_timer_schedule': kernel/posix-cpu-timers.c:1127: warning: 'now' may be used uninitialized in this function Then we can start to think further about cleaning up that code.

The posix cpu timer expiry time is stored in a union of two types: a 64 bits field if we rely on scheduler precise accounting, or a cputime_t if we rely on jiffies.

The recent implementation of a generic dummy timer resulted in a different registration order of per cpu local timers which made the broadcast control logic go belly up. If the dummy timer is the first clock event device which is registered for a CPU, then it is installed, the broadcast timer is initialized and the CPU is marked as broadcast target. If a real clock event device is installed after that, we can fail to take the CPU out of the broadcast mask. In the worst case we end up with two periodic timer events firing for the same CPU. One from the per cpu hardware device and one from the broadcast. Now the problem is that we have no way to distinguish whether the system is in a state which makes broadcasting necessary or the broadcast bit was set due to the nonfunctional dummy timer installment. To solve this we need to keep track of the system state seperately and provide a more detailed decision logic whether we keep the CPU in broadcast mode or not. The old decision logic only clears the broadcast mode, if the newly installed clock event device is not affected by power states. The new logic clears the broadcast mode if one of the following is true: - The new device is not affected by power states. - The system is not in a power state affected mode - The system has switched to oneshot mode. The oneshot broadcast is controlled from the deep idle state. The CPU is not in idle at this point, so it's safe to remove it from the mask. If we clear the broadcast bit for the CPU when a new device is installed, we also shutdown the broadcast device when this was the last CPU in the broadcast mask. If the broadcast bit is kept, then we leave the new device in shutdown state and rely on the broadcast to deliver the timer interrupts via the broadcast ipis.

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 standing bug, which was never noticed, because the main user of the broadcast x86 cannot run into that scenario, AFAICT. The nonarchitected timer mess of ARM creates a gazillion of differently broken abominations which trigger the shortcomings of that broadcast code, which better had never been necessary in the first place.

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.

Commit 37f02195 (powerpc/pci: fix PCI-e devices rescan issue on powerpc platform) fixes a problem with interrupt and DMA initialization on hot plugged devices. With this commit, interrupt and DMA initialization for hot plugged devices is handled in the pci device enable function. This approach has a couple of drawbacks. First, it creates two code paths for device initialization, one for hot plugged devices and another for devices known during the initial PCI scan. Second, the initialization code for hot plugged devices is only called when the device is enabled, ie typically in the probe function. Also, the platform specific setup code is called each time pci_enable_device() is called, not only once during device discovery, meaning it is actually called multiple times, once for devices discovered during the initial scan and again each time a driver is re-loaded. The visible result is that interrupt pins are only assigned to hot plugged devices when the device driver is loaded. Effectively this changes the PCI probe API, since pci_dev->irq and the device's dma configuration will now only be valid after pci_enable() was called at least once. A more subtle change is that platform specific PCI device setup is moved from device discovery into the driver's probe function, more specifically into the pci_enable_device() call. To fix the inconsistencies, add new function pcibios_add_device. Call pcibios_setup_device from pcibios_setup_bus_devices if device setup is not complete, and from pcibios_add_device if bus setup is complete. With this change, device setup code is moved back into device initialization, and called exactly once for both static and hot plugged devices. [ This also fixes a regression introduced by the above patch which causes dev->irq to be overwritten under some cirumstances after MSIs have been enabled for the device which leads to crashes due to the MSI core "hijacking" dev->irq to store the base MSI number and not the LSI. --BenH ] Cc: Yuanquan Chen <Yuanquan.Chen@freescale.com> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: Hiroo Matsumoto <matsumoto.hiroo@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: NGuenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Al Viro pointed me to the fact that '->readdir()' and '->llseek()' have no mutual exclusion, which means the 'ubifs_dir_llseek()' can be run while we are in the middle of 'ubifs_readdir()'. This means that 'file->private_data' can be freed while 'ubifs_readdir()' uses it, and this is a very bad bug: not only 'ubifs_readdir()' can return garbage, but this may corrupt memory and lead to all kinds of problems like crashes an security holes. This patch fixes the problem by using the 'file->f_version' field, which '->llseek()' always unconditionally sets to zero. We set it to 1 in 'ubifs_readdir()' and whenever we detect that it became 0, we know there was a seek and it is time to clear the state saved in 'file->private_data'. I tested this patch by writing a user-space program which runds readdir and seek in parallell. I could easily crash the kernel without these patches, but could not crash it with these patches.

Al Viro pointed me to the fact that '->readdir()' and '->llseek()' have no mutual exclusion, which means the 'ubifs_dir_llseek()' can be run while we are in the middle of 'ubifs_readdir()'. First of all, this means that 'file->private_data' can be freed while 'ubifs_readdir()' uses it. But this particular patch does not fix the problem. This patch is only a preparation, and the fix will follow next. In this patch we make 'ubifs_readdir()' stop using 'file->f_pos' directly, because 'file->f_pos' can be changed by '->llseek()' at any point. This may lead 'ubifs_readdir()' to returning inconsistent data: directory entry names may correspond to incorrect file positions. So here we introduce a local variable 'pos', read 'file->f_pose' once at very the beginning, and then stick to 'pos'. The result of this is that when 'ubifs_dir_llseek()' changes 'file->f_pos' while we are in the middle of 'ubifs_readdir()', the latter "wins".

Adjustments to Xen's persistent clock via update_persistent_clock() don't actually persist, as the Xen wallclock is a software only clock and modifications to it do not modify the underlying CMOS RTC. The x86_platform.set_wallclock hook is there to keep the hardware RTC synchronized. On a guest this is pointless. On Dom0 we can use the native implementaion which actually updates the hardware RTC, but we still need to keep the software emulation of RTC for the guests up to date. The subscription to the pvclock_notifier allows us to emulate this easily. The notifier is called at every tick and when the clock was set. Right now we only use that notifier when the clock was set, but due to the fact that it is called periodically from the timekeeping update code, we can utilize it to emulate the NTP driven drift compensation of update_persistant_clock() for the Xen wall (software) clock. Add a 11 minutes periodic update to the pvclock_gtod notifier callback to achieve that. The static variable 'next' which maintains that 11 minutes update cycle is protected by the core code serialization so there is no need to add a Xen specific serialization mechanism.

Currently the Xen wallclock is only updated every 11 minutes if NTP is synchronized to its clock source (using the sync_cmos_clock() work). If a guest is started before NTP is synchronized it may see an incorrect wallclock time. Use the pvclock_gtod notifier chain to receive a notification when the system time has changed and update the wallclock to match. This chain is called on every timer tick and we want to avoid an extra (expensive) hypercall on every tick. Because dom0 has historically never provided a very accurate wallclock and guests do not expect one, we can do this simply: the wallclock is only updated if the clock was set.

If the clock was set (stepped), set the action parameter to functions in the pvclock gtod notifier chain to non-zero. This allows the callee to only do work if the clock was stepped. This will be used on Xen as the synchronization of the Xen wallclock to the control domain's (dom0) system time will be done with this notifier and updating on every timer tick is unnecessary and too expensive.

Instead of passing multiple bools to timekeeping_updated(), define flags and use a single 'action' parameter. It is then more obvious what each timekeeping_update() call does.
