      timers: Add a function to start/reduce a timer · b24591e2
      由 David Howells 提交于 
      Add a function, similar to mod_timer(), that will start a timer if it isn't
running and will modify it if it is running and has an expiry time longer
than the new time.  If the timer is running with an expiry time that's the
same or sooner, no change is made.

The function looks like:

	int timer_reduce(struct timer_list *timer, unsigned long expires);

This can be used by code such as networking code to make it easier to share
a timer for multiple timeouts.  For instance, in upcoming AF_RXRPC code,
the rxrpc_call struct will maintain a number of timeouts:

	unsigned long	ack_at;
	unsigned long	resend_at;
	unsigned long	ping_at;
	unsigned long	expect_rx_by;
	unsigned long	expect_req_by;
	unsigned long	expect_term_by;

each of which is set independently of the others.  With timer reduction
available, when the code needs to set one of the timeouts, it only needs to
look at that timeout and then call timer_reduce() to modify the timer,
starting it or bringing it forward if necessary.  There is no need to refer
to the other timeouts to see which is earliest and no need to take any lock
other than, potentially, the timer lock inside timer_reduce().

Note, that this does not protect against concurrent invocations of any of
the timer functions.

As an example, the expect_rx_by timeout above, which terminates a call if
we don't get a packet from the server within a certain time window, would
be set something like this:

	unsigned long now = jiffies;
	unsigned long expect_rx_by = now + packet_receive_timeout;
	WRITE_ONCE(call->expect_rx_by, expect_rx_by);
	timer_reduce(&call->timer, expect_rx_by);

The timer service code (which might, say, be in a work function) would then
check all the timeouts to see which, if any, had triggered, deal with
those:

	t = READ_ONCE(call->ack_at);
	if (time_after_eq(now, t)) {
		cmpxchg(&call->ack_at, t, now + MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET);
		set_bit(RXRPC_CALL_EV_ACK, &call->events);
	}

and then restart the timer if necessary by finding the soonest timeout that
hasn't yet passed and then calling timer_reduce().

The disadvantage of doing things this way rather than comparing the timers
each time and calling mod_timer() is that you *will* take timer events
unless you can finish what you're doing and delete the timer in time.

The advantage of doing things this way is that you don't need to use a lock
to work out when the next timer should be set, other than the timer's own
lock - which you might not have to take.

      pstore: Use ktime_get_real_fast_ns() instead of __getnstimeofday() · df27067e
      由 Arnd Bergmann 提交于 
      __getnstimeofday() is a rather odd interface, with a number of quirks:

- The caller may come from NMI context, but the implementation is not NMI safe,
  one way to get there from NMI is

      NMI handler:
        something bad
          panic()
            kmsg_dump()
              pstore_dump()
                 pstore_record_init()
                   __getnstimeofday()

- The calling conventions are different from any other timekeeping functions,
  to deal with returning an error code during suspended timekeeping.

Address the above issues by using a completely different method to get the
time: ktime_get_real_fast_ns() is NMI safe and has a reasonable behavior
when timekeeping is suspended: it returns the time at which it got
suspended. As Thomas Gleixner explained, this is safe, as
ktime_get_real_fast_ns() does not call into the clocksource driver that
might be suspended.

The result can easily be transformed into a timespec structure. Since
ktime_get_real_fast_ns() was not exported to modules, add the export.

The pstore behavior for the suspended case changes slightly, as it now
stores the timestamp at which timekeeping was suspended instead of storing
a zero timestamp.

This change is not addressing y2038-safety, that's subject to a more
complex follow up patch.

      sched/core: Optimize sched_feat() for !CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG builds · 765cc3a4
      由 Patrick Bellasi 提交于 
      When the kernel is compiled with !CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG support, we expect that
all SCHED_FEAT are turned into compile time constants being propagated
to support compiler optimizations.

Specifically, we expect that code blocks like this:

   if (sched_feat(FEATURE_NAME) [&& <other_conditions>]) {
	/* FEATURE CODE */
   }

are turned into dead-code in case FEATURE_NAME defaults to FALSE, and thus
being removed by the compiler from the finale image.

For this mechanism to properly work it's required for the compiler to
have full access, from each translation unit, to whatever is the value
defined by the sched_feat macro. This macro is defined as:

   #define sched_feat(x) (sysctl_sched_features & (1UL << __SCHED_FEAT_##x))

and thus, the compiler can optimize that code only if the value of
sysctl_sched_features is visible within each translation unit.

Since:

   029632fb ("sched: Make separate sched*.c translation units")

the scheduler code has been split into separate translation units
however the definition of sysctl_sched_features is part of
kernel/sched/core.c while, for all the other scheduler modules, it is
visible only via kernel/sched/sched.h as an:

   extern const_debug unsigned int sysctl_sched_features

Unfortunately, an extern reference does not allow the compiler to apply
constants propagation. Thus, on !CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG kernel we still end up
with code to load a memory reference and (eventually) doing an unconditional
jump of a chunk of code.

This mechanism is unavoidable when sched_features can be turned on and off at
run-time. However, this is not the case for "production" kernels compiled with
!CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG. In this case, sysctl_sched_features is just a constant value
which cannot be changed at run-time and thus memory loads and jumps can be
avoided altogether.

This patch fixes the case of !CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG kernel by declaring a local version
of the sysctl_sched_features constant for each translation unit. This will
ultimately allow the compiler to perform constants propagation and dead-code
pruning.

Tests have been done, with !CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG on a v4.14-rc8 with and without
the patch, by running 30 iterations of:

   perf bench sched messaging --pipe --thread --group 4 --loop 50000

on a 40 cores Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2690 v2 @ 3.00GHz using the
powersave governor to rule out variations due to frequency scaling.

      cpufreq: schedutil: Reset cached_raw_freq when not in sync with next_freq · 07458f6a
      由 Viresh Kumar 提交于 
      'cached_raw_freq' is used to get the next frequency quickly but should
always be in sync with sg_policy->next_freq. There is a case where it is
not and in such cases it should be reset to avoid switching to incorrect
frequencies.

Consider this case for example:

 - policy->cur is 1.2 GHz (Max)
 - New request comes for 780 MHz and we store that in cached_raw_freq.
 - Based on 780 MHz, we calculate the effective frequency as 800 MHz.
 - We then see the CPU wasn't idle recently and choose to keep the next
   freq as 1.2 GHz.
 - Now we have cached_raw_freq is 780 MHz and sg_policy->next_freq is
   1.2 GHz.
 - Now if the utilization doesn't change in then next request, then the
   next target frequency will still be 780 MHz and it will match with
   cached_raw_freq. But we will choose 1.2 GHz instead of 800 MHz here.

      PM / s2idle: Clear the events_check_enabled flag · 95b982b4
      由 Rajat Jain 提交于 
      Problem: This flag does not get cleared currently in the suspend or
resume path in the following cases:

 * In case some driver's suspend routine returns an error.
 * Successful s2idle case
 * etc?

Why is this a problem: What happens is that the next suspend attempt
could fail even though the user did not enable the flag by writing to
/sys/power/wakeup_count. This is 1 use case how the issue can be seen
(but similar use case with driver suspend failure can be thought of):

 1. Read /sys/power/wakeup_count
 2. echo count > /sys/power/wakeup_count
 3. echo freeze > /sys/power/wakeup_count
 4. Let the system suspend, and wakeup the system using some wake source
    that calls pm_wakeup_event() e.g. power button or something.
 5. Note that the combined wakeup count would be incremented due
    to the pm_wakeup_event() in the resume path.
 6. After resuming the events_check_enabled flag is still set.

At this point if the user attempts to freeze again (without writing to
/sys/power/wakeup_count), the suspend would fail even though there has
been no wake event since the past resume.

Address that by clearing the flag just before a resume is completed,
so that it is always cleared for the corner cases mentioned above.

      stop using '%pK' for /proc/kallsyms pointer values · c0f3ea15

      Not only is it annoying to have one single flag for all pointers, as if
that was a global choice and all kernel pointers are the same, but %pK
can't get the 'access' vs 'open' time check right anyway.

So make the /proc/kallsyms pointer value code use logic specific to that
particular file.  We do continue to honor kptr_restrict, but the default
(which is unrestricted) is changed to instead take expected users into
account, and restrict access by default.

Right now the only actual expected user is kernel profiling, which has a
separate sysctl flag for kernel profile access.  There may be others.

      module: export module signature enforcement status · fda784e5
      由 Bruno E. O. Meneguele 提交于 
      A static variable sig_enforce is used as status var to indicate the real
value of CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE, once this one is set the var will hold
true, but if the CONFIG is not set the status var will hold whatever
value is present in the module.sig_enforce kernel cmdline param: true
when =1 and false when =0 or not present.

Considering this cmdline param take place over the CONFIG value when
it's not set, other places in the kernel could misbehave since they
would have only the CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE value to rely on. Exporting
this status var allows the kernel to rely in the effective value of
module signature enforcement, being it from CONFIG value or cmdline
param.

      futex: futex_wake_op, do not fail on invalid op · e78c38f6
      由 Jiri Slaby 提交于 
      In commit 30d6e0a4 ("futex: Remove duplicated code and fix undefined
behaviour"), I let FUTEX_WAKE_OP to fail on invalid op.  Namely when op
should be considered as shift and the shift is out of range (< 0 or > 31).

But strace's test suite does this madness:

  futex(0x7fabd78bcffc, 0x5, 0xfacefeed, 0xb, 0x7fabd78bcffc, 0xa0caffee);
  futex(0x7fabd78bcffc, 0x5, 0xfacefeed, 0xb, 0x7fabd78bcffc, 0xbadfaced);
  futex(0x7fabd78bcffc, 0x5, 0xfacefeed, 0xb, 0x7fabd78bcffc, 0xffffffff);

When I pick the first 0xa0caffee, it decodes as:

  0x80000000 & 0xa0caffee: oparg is shift
  0x70000000 & 0xa0caffee: op is FUTEX_OP_OR
  0x0f000000 & 0xa0caffee: cmp is FUTEX_OP_CMP_EQ
  0x00fff000 & 0xa0caffee: oparg is sign-extended 0xcaf = -849
  0x00000fff & 0xa0caffee: cmparg is sign-extended 0xfee = -18

That means the op tries to do this:

  (futex |= (1 << (-849))) == -18

which is completely bogus. The new check of op in the code is:

        if (encoded_op & (FUTEX_OP_OPARG_SHIFT << 28)) {
                if (oparg < 0 || oparg > 31)
                        return -EINVAL;
                oparg = 1 << oparg;
        }

which results obviously in the "Invalid argument" errno:

  FAIL: futex
  ===========

  futex(0x7fabd78bcffc, 0x5, 0xfacefeed, 0xb, 0x7fabd78bcffc, 0xa0caffee) = -1: Invalid argument
  futex.test: failed test: ../futex failed with code 1

So let us soften the failure to print only a (ratelimited) message, crop
the value and continue as if it were right.  When userspace keeps up, we
can switch this to return -EINVAL again.

[v2] Do not return 0 immediatelly, proceed with the cropped value.

      License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license · b2441318
      由 Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于 
      Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

      由 Andrew Clayton 提交于 
      Commit cc731525 ("signal: Remove kernel interal si_code magic")
added a check for SIGMET and NSIGEMT being defined. That SIGMET should
in fact be SIGEMT, with SIGEMT being defined in
arch/{alpha,mips,sparc}/include/uapi/asm/signal.h

This was actually pointed out by BenHutchings in a lwn.net comment

      watchdog/hardlockup/perf: Use atomics to track in-use cpu counter · 42f930da
      由 Don Zickus 提交于 
      Guenter reported:
  There is still a problem. When running 
    echo 6 > /proc/sys/kernel/watchdog_thresh
    echo 5 > /proc/sys/kernel/watchdog_thresh
  repeatedly, the message
 
   NMI watchdog: Enabled. Permanently consumes one hw-PMU counter.
 
  stops after a while (after ~10-30 iterations, with fluctuations).
  Maybe watchdog_cpus needs to be atomic ?

That's correct as this again is affected by the asynchronous nature of the
smpboot thread unpark mechanism.

CPU 0				CPU1			CPU2
write(watchdog_thresh, 6)	
  stop()
    park()
  update()
  start()
    unpark()
				thread->unpark()
				  cnt++;
write(watchdog_thresh, 5)				thread->unpark()
  stop()
    park()			thread->park()
				   cnt--;		  cnt++;
  update()
  start()
    unpark()

That's not a functional problem, it just affects the informational message.

Convert watchdog_cpus to atomic_t to prevent the problem

      由 Thomas Gleixner 提交于 
      watchdog/harclockup/perf: Revert a33d4484 ("watchdog/hardlockup/perf: Simplify deferred event destroy")

Guenter reported a crash in the watchdog/perf code, which is caused by
cleanup() and enable() running concurrently. The reason for this is:

The watchdog functions are serialized via the watchdog_mutex and cpu
hotplug locking, but the enable of the perf based watchdog happens in
context of the unpark callback of the smpboot thread. But that unpark
function is not synchronous inside the locking. The unparking of the thread
just wakes it up and leaves so there is no guarantee when the thread is
executing.

If it starts running _before_ the cleanup happened then it will create a
event and overwrite the dead event pointer. The new event is then cleaned
up because the event is marked dead.

    lock(watchdog_mutex);
    lockup_detector_reconfigure();
        cpus_read_lock();
	stop();
	   park()
	update();
	start();
	   unpark()
	cpus_read_unlock();		thread runs()
					  overwrite dead event ptr
	cleanup();
	  free new event, which is active inside perf....
    unlock(watchdog_mutex);

The park side is safe as that actually waits for the thread to reach
parked state.

Commit a33d4484 removed the protection against this kind of scenario
under the stupid assumption that the hotplug serialization and the
watchdog_mutex cover everything. 

Bring it back.

      clockevents: Update clockevents device next_event on stop · 39c82caf
      由 Prasad Sodagudi 提交于 
      clockevent_device::next_event holds the next timer event of a clock event
device. The value is updated in clockevents_program_event(), i.e. when the
hardware timer is armed for the next expiry.

When there are no software timers armed on a CPU, the corresponding per CPU
clockevent device is brought into ONESHOT_STOPPED state, but
clockevent_device::next_event is not updated, because
clockevents_program_event() is not called.

So the content of clockevent_device::next_event is stale, which is not an
issue when real hardware is used. But the hrtimer broadcast device relies
on that information and the stale value causes spurious wakeups.

Update clockevent_device::next_event to KTIME_MAX when it has been brought
into ONESHOT_STOPPED state to avoid spurious wakeups. This reflects the
proper expiry time of the stopped timer: infinity.
