266d7ad7f4 Merge branch 'timers-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull timer changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "Main changes:

   - ntp: Add CONFIG_RTC_SYSTOHC: a generic RTC driver facility
     complementing the existing CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS, which uses NTP to
     keep the hardware clock updated.

   - posix-timers: Fix clock_adjtime to always return timex data on
     success.  This is changing the ABI, but no breakage was expected
     and found - caution is warranted nevertheless.

   - platform persistent clock improvements/cleanups.

   - clockevents: refactor timer broadcast handling to be more generic
     and less duplicated with matching architecture code (mostly ARM
     motivated.)

   - various fixes and cleanups"

e6c42c295e posix-cpu-timers: Fix nanosleep task_struct leak
The trinity fuzzer triggered a task_struct reference leak via
clock_nanosleep with CPU_TIMERs. do_cpu_nanosleep() calls
posic_cpu_timer_create(), but misses a corresponding
posix_cpu_timer_del() which leads to the task_struct reference leak.

6fac4829ce cputime: Use accessors to read task cputime stats
This is in preparation for the full dynticks feature. While
remotely reading the cputime of a task running in a full
dynticks CPU, we'll need to do some extra-computation. This
way we can account the time it spent tickless in userspace
since its last cputime snapshot.

bcd5cff721 cputimer: Cure lock inversion
There's a lock inversion between the cputimer->lock and rq->lock;
notably the two callchains involved are:

 update_rlimit_cpu()
   sighand->siglock
   set_process_cpu_timer()
     cpu_timer_sample_group()
       thread_group_cputimer()
         cputimer->lock
         thread_group_cputime()
           task_sched_runtime()
             ->pi_lock
             rq->lock

 scheduler_tick()
   rq->lock
   task_tick_fair()
     update_curr()
       account_group_exec()
         cputimer->lock

Where the first one is enabling a CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID timer, and
the second one is keeping up-to-date.

This problem was introduced by e8abccb719 ("posix-cpu-timers: Cure
SMP accounting oddities").

Cure the problem by removing the cputimer->lock and rq->lock nesting,
this leaves concurrent enablers doing duplicate work, but the time
wasted should be on the same order otherwise wasted spinning on the
lock and the greater-than assignment filter should ensure we preserve
monotonicity.

d670ec1317 posix-cpu-timers: Cure SMP wobbles
David reported:

  Attached below is a watered-down version of rt/tst-cpuclock2.c from
  GLIBC.  Just build it with "gcc -o test test.c -lpthread -lrt" or
  similar.

  Run it several times, and you will see cases where the main thread
  will measure a process clock difference before and after the nanosleep
  which is smaller than the cpu-burner thread's individual thread clock
  difference.  This doesn't make any sense since the cpu-burner thread
  is part of the top-level process's thread group.

  I've reproduced this on both x86-64 and sparc64 (using both 32-bit and
  64-bit binaries).

  For example:

  [davem@boricha build-x86_64-linux]$ ./test
  process: before(0.001221967) after(0.498624371) diff(497402404)
  thread:  before(0.000081692) after(0.498316431) diff(498234739)
  self:    before(0.001223521) after(0.001240219) diff(16698)
  [davem@boricha build-x86_64-linux]$ 

  The diff of 'process' should always be >= the diff of 'thread'.

  I make sure to wrap the 'thread' clock measurements the most tightly
  around the nanosleep() call, and that the 'process' clock measurements
  are the outer-most ones.

	  return 0;
  }

This is due to us using p->se.sum_exec_runtime in
thread_group_cputime() where we iterate the thread group and sum all
data. This does not take time since the last schedule operation (tick
or otherwise) into account. We can cure this by using
task_sched_runtime() at the cost of having to take locks.

This also means we can (and must) do away with
thread_group_sched_runtime() since the modified thread_group_cputime()
is now more accurate and would deadlock when called from
thread_group_sched_runtime().

Aside of that it makes the function safe on 32 bit systems. The old
code added t->se.sum_exec_runtime unprotected. sum_exec_runtime is a
64bit value and could be changed on another cpu at the same time.

ee30a7b2fc locking, sched: Annotate thread_group_cputimer as raw
The thread_group_cputimer lock can be taken in atomic context and therefore
cannot be preempted on -rt - annotate it.

In mainline this change documents the low level nature of
the lock - otherwise there's no functional difference. Lockdep

8d1f431cbe sched: Fix the racy usage of thread_group_cputimer() in fastpath_timer_check()
fastpath_timer_check()->thread_group_cputimer() is racy and
unneeded.

It is racy because another thread can clear ->running before
thread_group_cputimer() takes cputimer->lock. In this case
thread_group_cputimer() will set ->running = true again and call
thread_group_cputime(). But since we do not hold tasklist or
siglock, we can race with fork/exit and copy the wrong results
into cputimer->cputime.

It is unneeded because if ->running == true we can just use
the numbers in cputimer->cputime we already have.

Change fastpath_timer_check() to copy cputimer->cputime into
the local variable under cputimer->lock. We do not re-check
->running under cputimer->lock, run_posix_cpu_timers() does
this check later.

Note: we can add more optimizations on top of this change.

0bdd2ed413 sched: run_posix_cpu_timers: Don't check ->exit_state, use lock_task_sighand()
run_posix_cpu_timers() doesn't work if current has already passed
exit_notify(). This was needed to prevent the races with do_wait().

Since ea6d290c ->signal is always valid and can't go away. We can
remove the "tsk->exit_state == 0" in fastpath_timer_check() and
convert run_posix_cpu_timers() to use lock_task_sighand().

Note: it makes sense to take group_leader's sighand instead, the
sub-thread still uses CPU after release_task(). But we need more
changes to do this.

bfac700918 sched: thread_group_cputime: Simplify, document the "alive" check
thread_group_cputime() looks as if it is rcu-safe, but in fact this
was wrong until ea6d290c which pins task->signal to task_struct.
It checks ->sighand != NULL under rcu, but this can't help if ->signal
can go away. Fortunately the caller either holds ->siglock, or it is
fastpath_timer_check() which uses current and checks exit_state == 0.

- Since ea6d290c commit tsk->signal is stable, we can read it first
  and avoid the initialization from INIT_CPUTIME.

- Even if tsk->signal is always valid, we still have to check it
  is safe to use next_thread() under rcu_read_lock(). Currently
  the code checks ->sighand != NULL, change it to use pid_alive()
  which is commonly used to ensure the task wasn't unhashed before
  we take rcu_read_lock().

  Add the comment to explain this check.

- Change the main loop to use the while_each_thread() helper.

d30fda3551 posix-cpu-timers: avoid "task->signal != NULL" checks
Preparation to make task->signal immutable, no functional changes.

posix-cpu-timers.c checks task->signal != NULL to ensure this task is
alive and didn't pass __exit_signal().  This is correct but we are going
to change the lifetime rules for ->signal and never reset this pointer.

Change the code to check ->sighand instead, it doesn't matter which
pointer we check under tasklist, they both are cleared simultaneously.

As Roland pointed out, some of these changes are not strictly needed and
probably it makes sense to revert them later, when ->signal will be pinned
to task_struct.  But this patch tries to ensure the subsequent changes in
fork/exit can't make any visible impact on posix cpu timers.

We can optimize and simplify things taking into account signal->cputimer

In check_process_timers(), we don't have to check if new updated value of
signal->cputime_expires is smaller, since we maintain new first expiration
time ({prof,virt,sched}_expires) in code flow and all other writes to
expiration cache are protected by sighand->siglock .

c28739375b cpu-timers: Avoid iterating over all threads in fastpath_timer_check()
Spread p->sighand->siglock locking scope to make sure that
fastpath_timer_check() never iterates over all threads. Without
locking there is small possibility that signal->cputimer will stop
running while we write values to signal->cputime_expires.

Calling thread_group_cputime() from fastpath_timer_check() is not only
bad because it is slow, also it is racy with __exit_signal() which can
lead to invalid signal->{s,u}time values.

8f2e586567 posix-timers: fix RLIMIT_CPU && setitimer(CPUCLOCK_PROF)
update_rlimit_cpu() tries to optimize out set_process_cpu_timer() in case
when we already have CPUCLOCK_PROF timer which should expire first. But it
uses cputime_lt() instead of cputime_gt().

Test case:

	int main(void)
	{
		struct itimerval it = {
			.it_value = { .tv_sec = 1000 },
		};

		assert(!setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &it, NULL));

		struct rlimit rl = {
			.rlim_cur = 1,
			.rlim_max = 1,
		};

		assert(!setrlimit(RLIMIT_CPU, &rl));

		for (;;)
			;

		return 0;
	}

Without this patch, the task is not killed as RLIMIT_CPU demands.
