Only the posix timer system calls use this (when the posix timer support
is disabled, which does not actually happen in any normal case), because
they had debug code to print out a warning about missing system calls.
Get rid of that special case, and just use the standard COND_SYSCALL
interface that creates weak system call stubs that return -ENOSYS for
when the system call does not exist.
This fixes a kCFI issue with the SYS_NI() hackery:
CFI failure at int80_emulation+0x67/0xb0 (target: sys_ni_posix_timers+0x0/0x70; expected type: 0xb02b34d9)
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 48 at int80_emulation+0x67/0xb0

Pull timer fix from Borislav Petkov:
- Do the push of pending hrtimers away from a CPU which is being
offlined earlier in the offlining process in order to prevent a
deadlock
* tag 'timers_urgent_for_v6.7_rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
hrtimers: Push pending hrtimers away from outgoing CPU earlier
2b8272ff4a ("cpu/hotplug: Prevent self deadlock on CPU hot-unplug")
solved the straight forward CPU hotplug deadlock vs. the scheduler
bandwidth timer. Yu discovered a more involved variant where a task which
has a bandwidth timer started on the outgoing CPU holds a lock and then
gets throttled. If the lock required by one of the CPU hotplug callbacks
the hotplug operation deadlocks because the unthrottling timer event is not
handled on the dying CPU and can only be recovered once the control CPU
reaches the hotplug state which pulls the pending hrtimers from the dead
CPU.
Solve this by pushing the hrtimers away from the dying CPU in the dying
callbacks. Nothing can queue a hrtimer on the dying CPU at that point because
all other CPUs spin in stop_machine() with interrupts disabled and once the
operation is finished the CPU is marked offline.

Core & protocols
----------------
- Support usec resolution of TCP timestamps, enabled selectively by
a route attribute.
- Defer regular TCP ACK while processing socket backlog, try to send
a cumulative ACK at the end. Increase single TCP flow performance
on a 200Gbit NIC by 20% (100Gbit -> 120Gbit).
- The Fair Queuing (FQ) packet scheduler:
- add built-in 3 band prio / WRR scheduling
- support bypass if the qdisc is mostly idle (5% speed up for TCP RR)
- improve inactive flow reporting
- optimize the layout of structures for better cache locality
- Support TCP Authentication Option (RFC 5925, TCP-AO), a more modern
replacement for the old MD5 option.
- Add more retransmission timeout (RTO) related statistics to TCP_INFO.
- Support sending fragmented skbs over vsock sockets.
- Make sure we send SIGPIPE for vsock sockets if socket was shutdown().
- Add sysctl for ignoring lower limit on lifetime in Router
Advertisement PIO, based on an in-progress IETF draft.
- Add sysctl to control activation of TCP ping-pong mode.
- Add sysctl to make connection timeout in MPTCP configurable.
- Support rcvlowat and notsent_lowat on MPTCP sockets, to help apps
limit the number of wakeups.
- Support netlink GET for MDB (multicast forwarding), allowing user
space to request a single MDB entry instead of dumping the entire
table.
- Support selective FDB flushing in the VXLAN tunnel driver.
- Allow limiting learned FDB entries in bridges, prevent OOM attacks.
- Allow controlling via configfs netconsole targets which were created
via the kernel cmdline at boot, rather than via configfs at runtime.
- Support multiple PTP timestamp event queue readers with different
filters.
- MCTP over I3C.
BPF
---
- Add new veth-like netdevice where BPF program defines the logic
of the xmit routine. It can operate in L3 and L2 mode.
- Support exceptions - allow asserting conditions which should
never be true but are hard for the verifier to infer.
With some extra flexibility around handling of the exit / failure.
https://lwn.net/Articles/938435/
- Add support for local per-cpu kptr, allow allocating and storing
per-cpu objects in maps. Access to those objects operates on
the value for the current CPU. This allows to deprecate local
one-off implementations of per-CPU storage like
BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_CGROUP_STORAGE maps.
- Extend cgroup BPF sockaddr hooks for UNIX sockets. The use case is
for systemd to re-implement the LogNamespace feature which allows
running multiple instances of systemd-journald to process the logs
of different services.
- Enable open-coded task_vma iteration, after maple tree conversion
made it hard to directly walk VMAs in tracing programs.
- Add open-coded task, css_task and css iterator support.
One of the use cases is customizable OOM victim selection via BPF.
- Allow source address selection with bpf_*_fib_lookup().
- Add ability to pin BPF timer to the current CPU.
- Prevent creation of infinite loops by combining tail calls and
fentry/fexit programs.
- Add missed stats for kprobes to retrieve the number of missed kprobe
executions and subsequent executions of BPF programs.
- Inherit system settings for CPU security mitigations.
- Add BPF v4 CPU instruction support for arm32 and s390x.
Changes to common code
----------------------
- overflow: add DEFINE_FLEX() for on-stack definition of structs
with flexible array members.
- Process doc update with more guidance for reviewers.
Driver API
----------
- Simplify locking in WiFi (cfg80211 and mac80211 layers), use wiphy
mutex in most places and remove a lot of smaller locks.
- Create a common DPLL configuration API. Allow configuring
and querying state of PLL circuits used for clock syntonization,
in network time distribution.
- Unify fragmented and full page allocation APIs in page pool code.
Let drivers be ignorant of PAGE_SIZE.
- Rework PHY state machine to avoid races with calls to phy_stop().
- Notify DSA drivers of MAC address changes on user ports, improve
correctness of offloads which depend on matching port MAC addresses.
- Allow antenna control on injected WiFi frames.
- Reduce the number of variants of napi_schedule().
- Simplify error handling when composing devlink health messages.
Misc
----
- A lot of KCSAN data race "fixes", from Eric.
- A lot of __counted_by() annotations, from Kees.
- A lot of strncpy -> strscpy and printf format fixes.
- Replace master/slave terminology with conduit/user in DSA drivers.
- Handful of KUnit tests for netdev and WiFi core.

Add the necessary structure to support custom private-data per
posix-clock user.
The previous implementation of posix-clock assumed all file open
instances need access to the same clock structure on private_data.
The need for individual data structures per file open instance has been
identified when developing support for multiple timestamp event queue
users for ptp_clock.

Some userspace applications use timerfd_create() to request wakeups after
a long period of time. For example, a backup application may request a
wakeup once per week. This is perfectly fine as long as the system does
not try to suspend. However, if the system tries to suspend and the
system's RTC does not support the required alarm timeout, the suspend
operation will fail with an error such as
rtc_cmos 00:01: Alarms can be up to one day in the future
PM: dpm_run_callback(): platform_pm_suspend+0x0/0x4a returns -22
alarmtimer alarmtimer.4.auto: platform_pm_suspend+0x0/0x4a returned -22 after 117 usecs
PM: Device alarmtimer.4.auto failed to suspend: error -22
This results in a refusal to suspend the system, causing substantial
battery drain on affected systems.
To fix the problem, use the maximum alarm time offset as reported by RTC
drivers to set the maximum alarm time. While this may result in early
wakeups from suspend, it is still much better than not suspending at all.
Standardize system behavior if the requested alarm timeout is larger than
the alarm timeout supported by the rtc chip. Currently, in this situation,
the RTC driver will do one of the following:
- It may return an error.
- It may limit the alarm timeout to the maximum supported by the rtc chip.
- It may mask the timeout by the maximum alarm timeout supported by the RTC
chip (i.e. a requested timeout of 1 day + 1 minute may result in a 1
minute timeout).
With this in place, if the RTC driver reports the maximum alarm timeout
supported by the RTC chip, the system will always limit the alarm timeout
to the maximum supported by the RTC chip.

Inspired by recent enhancements to comments in kernel/time/tick-sched.c,
go through the entire file and fix/unify its comments:
- Fix over a dozen typos, spelling mistakes & cases of bad grammar.
- Re-phrase sentences that I needed to read three times to understand.
[ I used the following arbitrary rule-of-thumb:
- if I had to read a comment twice, it was usually my fault,
- if I had to read it a third time, it was the comment's fault. ]
- Comma updates:
- Add commas where needed
- Remove commas where not needed
- In cases where a comma is optional, choose one variant and try to
standardize it over similar sentences in the file.
- Standardize on standalone 'NOHZ' spelling in free-flowing comments:
s/nohz/NOHZ
s/no idle tick/NOHZ
Still keep 'dynticks' as a popular synonym.
- Standardize on referring to variable names within free-flowing
comments with the "'var'" nomenclature, and function names as
"function_name()".
- Standardize on '64-bit' and '32-bit':
s/32bit/32-bit
s/64bit/64-bit
- Standardize on 'IRQ work':
s/irq work/IRQ work
- A few other tidyups I probably missed to list.

In lowres dynticks mode, just like in highres dynticks mode, when there
is no tick to program in the future, the tick eventually gets
deactivated either:
* From the idle loop if in idle mode.
* From the IRQ exit if in full dynticks mode.
Therefore there is no need to deactivate it from the tick itself. This
just just brings more overhead in the idle tick path for no reason.

In commit 0345691b24 ("tick/rcu: Stop allowing RCU_SOFTIRQ in idle") the
new function report_idle_softirq() was created by breaking code out of the
existing can_stop_idle_tick() for kernels v5.18 and newer.
In doing so, the code essentially went from a one conditional:
if (a && b && c)
warn();
to a three conditional:
if (!a)
return;
if (!b)
return;
if (!c)
return;
warn();
But that conversion got the condition for the RT specific
local_bh_blocked() wrong. The original condition was:
!local_bh_blocked()
but the conversion failed to negate it so it ended up as:
if (!local_bh_blocked())
return false;
This issue lay dormant until another fixup for the same commit was added
in commit a7e282c777 ("tick/rcu: Fix bogus ratelimit condition").
This commit realized the ratelimit was essentially set to zero instead
of ten, and hence *no* softirq pending messages would ever be issued.
Once this commit was backported via linux-stable, both the v6.1 and v6.4
preempt-rt kernels started printing out 10 instances of this at boot:
NOHZ tick-stop error: local softirq work is pending, handler #80!!!
Remove the negation and return when local_bh_blocked() evaluates to true to
bring the correct behaviour back.

Mark the time KUnit test, time64_to_tm_test_date_range, as slow using test
attributes.
This test ran relatively much slower than most other KUnit tests.
By marking this test as slow, the test can now be filtered using the KUnit
test attribute filtering feature. Example: --filter "speed>slow". This will
run only the tests that have speeds faster than slow. The slow attribute
will also be outputted in KTAP.

Pull hardening updates from Kees Cook:
"There are three areas of note:
A bunch of strlcpy()->strscpy() conversions ended up living in my tree
since they were either Acked by maintainers for me to carry, or got
ignored for multiple weeks (and were trivial changes).
The compiler option '-fstrict-flex-arrays=3' has been enabled
globally, and has been in -next for the entire devel cycle. This
changes compiler diagnostics (though mainly just -Warray-bounds which
is disabled) and potential UBSAN_BOUNDS and FORTIFY _warning_
coverage. In other words, there are no new restrictions, just
potentially new warnings. Any new FORTIFY warnings we've seen have
been fixed (usually in their respective subsystem trees). For more
details, see commit df8fc4e934.
The under-development compiler attribute __counted_by has been added
so that we can start annotating flexible array members with their
associated structure member that tracks the count of flexible array
elements at run-time. It is possible (likely?) that the exact syntax
of the attribute will change before it is finalized, but GCC and Clang
are working together to sort it out. Any changes can be made to the
macro while we continue to add annotations.
As an example of that last case, I have a treewide commit waiting with
such annotations found via Coccinelle:
https://git.kernel.org/linus/adc5b3cb48a049563dc673f348eab7b6beba8a9b

- Scheduler SMP load-balancer improvements:
- Avoid unnecessary migrations within SMT domains on hybrid systems.
Problem:
On hybrid CPU systems, (processors with a mixture of higher-frequency
SMT cores and lower-frequency non-SMT cores), under the old code
lower-priority CPUs pulled tasks from the higher-priority cores if
more than one SMT sibling was busy - resulting in many unnecessary
task migrations.
Solution:
The new code improves the load balancer to recognize SMT cores with more
than one busy sibling and allows lower-priority CPUs to pull tasks, which
avoids superfluous migrations and lets lower-priority cores inspect all SMT
siblings for the busiest queue.
- Implement the 'runnable boosting' feature in the EAS balancer: consider CPU
contention in frequency, EAS max util & load-balance busiest CPU selection.
This improves CPU utilization for certain workloads, while leaves other key
workloads unchanged.
- Scheduler infrastructure improvements:
- Rewrite the scheduler topology setup code by consolidating it
into the build_sched_topology() helper function and building
it dynamically on the fly.
- Resolve the local_clock() vs. noinstr complications by rewriting
the code: provide separate sched_clock_noinstr() and
local_clock_noinstr() functions to be used in instrumentation code,
and make sure it is all instrumentation-safe.
- Fixes:
- Fix a kthread_park() race with wait_woken()
- Fix misc wait_task_inactive() bugs unearthed by the -rt merge:
- Fix UP PREEMPT bug by unifying the SMP and UP implementations.
- Fix task_struct::saved_state handling.
- Fix various rq clock update bugs, unearthed by turning on the rq clock

- Fix the PSI WINDOW_MIN_US trigger limit, which was easy to trigger by

- Propagate SMT flags in the topology when removing degenerate domain
- Fix grub_reclaim() calculation bug in the deadline scheduler code
- Avoid resetting the min update period when it is unnecessary, in

- Don't balance a task to its current running CPU in load_balance(),

posix_timer_add() tries to allocate a posix timer ID by starting from the
cached ID which was stored by the last successful allocation.
This is done in a loop searching the ID space for a free slot one by
one. The loop has to terminate when the search wrapped around to the
starting point.
But that's racy vs. establishing the starting point. That is read out
lockless, which leads to the following problem:
CPU0 CPU1
posix_timer_add()
start = sig->posix_timer_id;
lock(hash_lock);
... posix_timer_add()
if (++sig->posix_timer_id < 0)
start = sig->posix_timer_id;
sig->posix_timer_id = 0;
So CPU1 can observe a negative start value, i.e. -1, and the loop break
never happens because the condition can never be true:
if (sig->posix_timer_id == start)
break;
While this is unlikely to ever turn into an endless loop as the ID space is
huge (INT_MAX), the racy read of the start value caught the attention of
KCSAN and Dmitry unearthed that incorrectness.
Rewrite it so that all id operations are under the hash lock.

itimer_delete() has a retry loop when the timer is concurrently expired. On
non-RT kernels this just spin-waits until the timer callback has completed,
except for posix CPU timers which have HAVE_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK
enabled.
In that case and on RT kernels the existing task could live lock when
preempting the task which does the timer delivery.
Replace spin_unlock() with an invocation of timer_wait_running() to handle
it the same way as the other retry loops in the posix timer code.

The tick period is aligned very early while the first clock_event_device is
registered. At that point the system runs in periodic mode and switches
later to one-shot mode if possible.
The next wake-up event is programmed based on the aligned value
(tick_next_period) but the delta value, that is used to program the
clock_event_device, is computed based on ktime_get().
With the subtracted offset, the device fires earlier than the exact time
frame. With a large enough offset the system programs the timer for the
next wake-up and the remaining time left is too small to make any boot
progress. The system hangs.
Move the alignment later to the setup of tick_sched timer. At this point
the system switches to oneshot mode and a high resolution clocksource is
available. At this point it is safe to align tick_next_period because
ktime_get() will now return accurate (not jiffies based) time.

With the intent to provide local_clock_noinstr(), a variant of
local_clock() that's safe to be called from noinstr code (with the
assumption that any such code will already be non-preemptible),
prepare for things by providing a noinstr sched_clock_noinstr() function.
Specifically, preempt_enable_*() calls out to schedule(), which upsets
noinstr validation efforts.
As such, pull out the preempt_{dis,en}able_notrace() requirements from
the sched_clock_read() implementations by explicitly providing it in
the sched_clock() function.
This further requires said sched_clock_read() functions to be noinstr
themselves, for ARCH_WANTS_NO_INSTR users. See the next few patches.

The read side of seqcount_latch consists of:
do {
seq = raw_read_seqcount_latch(&latch->seq);
...
} while (read_seqcount_latch_retry(&latch->seq, seq));
which is asymmetric in the raw_ department, and sure enough,
read_seqcount_latch_retry() includes (explicit) instrumentation where
raw_read_seqcount_latch() does not.
This inconsistency becomes a problem when trying to use it from
noinstr code. As such, fix it by renaming and re-implementing
raw_read_seqcount_latch_retry() without the instrumentation.
Specifically the instrumentation in question is kcsan_atomic_next(0)
in do___read_seqcount_retry(). Loosing this annotation is not a
problem because raw_read_seqcount_latch() does not pass through
kcsan_atomic_next(KCSAN_SEQLOCK_REGION_MAX).

When a tick broadcast clockevent device is initialized for one shot mode
then tick_broadcast_setup_oneshot() OR's the periodic broadcast mode
cpumask into the oneshot broadcast cpumask.
This is required when switching from periodic broadcast mode to oneshot
broadcast mode to ensure that CPUs which are waiting for periodic
broadcast are woken up on the next tick.
But it is subtly broken, when an active broadcast device is replaced and
the system is already in oneshot (NOHZ/HIGHRES) mode. Victor observed
this and debugged the issue.
Then the OR of the periodic broadcast CPU mask is wrong as the periodic
cpumask bits are sticky after tick_broadcast_enable() set it for a CPU
unless explicitly cleared via tick_broadcast_disable().
That means that this sets all other CPUs which have tick broadcasting
enabled at that point unconditionally in the oneshot broadcast mask.
If the affected CPUs were already idle and had their bits set in the
oneshot broadcast mask then this does no harm. But for non idle CPUs
which were not set this corrupts their state.
On their next invocation of tick_broadcast_enable() they observe the bit
set, which indicates that the broadcast for the CPU is already set up.
As a consequence they fail to update the broadcast event even if their
earliest expiring timer is before the actually programmed broadcast
event.
If the programmed broadcast event is far in the future, then this can
cause stalls or trigger the hung task detector.
Avoid this by telling tick_broadcast_setup_oneshot() explicitly whether
this is the initial switch over from periodic to oneshot broadcast which
must take the periodic broadcast mask into account. In the case of
initialization of a replacement device this prevents that the broadcast
oneshot mask is modified.
There is a second problem with broadcast device replacement in this
function. The broadcast device is only armed when the previous state of
the device was periodic.
That is correct for the switch from periodic broadcast mode to oneshot
broadcast mode as the underlying broadcast device could operate in
oneshot state already due to lack of periodic state in hardware. In that
case it is already armed to expire at the next tick.
For the replacement case this is wrong as the device is in shutdown
state. That means that any already pending broadcast event will not be
armed.
This went unnoticed because any CPU which goes idle will observe that
the broadcast device has an expiry time of KTIME_MAX and therefore any
CPUs next timer event will be earlier and cause a reprogramming of the
broadcast device. But that does not guarantee that the events of the
CPUs which were already in idle are delivered on time.
Fix this by arming the newly installed device for an immediate event
which will reevaluate the per CPU expiry times and reprogram the
broadcast device accordingly. This is simpler than caching the last
expiry time in yet another place or saving it before the device exchange
and handing it down to the setup function. Replacement of broadcast
devices is not a frequent operation and usually happens once somewhere
late in the boot process.
