Timers and timekeeping updates:
- Improve the VDSO build time checks to cover all dynamic relocations VDSO does not allow dynamic relcations, but the build time check is incomplete and fragile. It's based on architectures specifying the relocation types to search for and does not handle R_*_NONE relocation entries correctly. R_*_NONE relocations are injected by some GNU ld variants if they fail to determine the exact .rel[a]/dyn_size to cover trailing zeros. R_*_NONE relocations must be ignored by dynamic loaders, so they should be ignored in the build time check too. Remove the architecture specific relocation types to check for and validate strictly that no other relocations than R_*_NONE end up in the VSDO .so file. - Prefer signal delivery to the current thread for CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID based posix-timers Such timers prefer to deliver the signal to the main thread of a process even if the context in which the timer expires is the current task. This has the downside that it might wake up an idle thread. As there is no requirement or guarantee that the signal has to be delivered to the main thread, avoid this by preferring the current task if it is part of the thread group which shares sighand. This not only avoids waking idle threads, it also distributes the signal delivery in case of multiple timers firing in the context of different threads close to each other better. - Align the tick period properly (again) For a long time the tick was starting at CLOCK_MONOTONIC zero, which allowed users space applications to either align with the tick or to place a periodic computation so that it does not interfere with the tick. The alignement of the tick period was more by chance than by intention as the tick is set up before a high resolution clocksource is installed, i.e. timekeeping is still tick based and the tick period advances from there. The early enablement of sched_clock() broke this alignement as the time accumulated by sched_clock() is taken into account when timekeeping is initialized. So the base value now(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) is not longer a multiple of tick periods, which breaks applications which relied on that behaviour. Cure this by aligning the tick starting point to the next multiple of tick periods, i.e 1000ms/CONFIG_HZ. - A set of NOHZ fixes and enhancements - Cure the concurrent writer race for idle and IO sleeptime statistics The statitic values which are exposed via /proc/stat are updated from the CPU local idle exit and remotely by cpufreq, but that happens without any form of serialization. As a consequence sleeptimes can be accounted twice or worse. Prevent this by restricting the accumulation writeback to the CPU local idle exit and let the remote access compute the accumulated value. - Protect idle/iowait sleep time with a sequence count Reading idle/iowait sleep time, e.g. from /proc/stat, can race with idle exit updates. As a consequence the readout may result in random and potentially going backwards values. Protect this by a sequence count, which fixes the idle time statistics issue, but cannot fix the iowait time problem because iowait time accounting races with remote wake ups decrementing the remote runqueues nr_iowait counter. The latter is impossible to fix, so the only way to deal with that is to document it properly and to remove the assertion in the selftest which triggers occasionally due to that. - Restructure struct tick_sched for better cache layout - Some small cleanups and a better cache layout for struct tick_sched - Implement the missing timer_wait_running() callback for POSIX CPU timers For unknown reason the introduction of the timer_wait_running() callback missed to fixup posix CPU timers, which went unnoticed for almost four years. While initially only targeted to prevent livelocks between a timer deletion and the timer expiry function on PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels, it turned out that fixing this for mainline is not as trivial as just implementing a stub similar to the hrtimer/timer callbacks. The reason is that for CONFIG_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK enabled systems there is a livelock issue independent of RT. CONFIG_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK=y moves the expiry of POSIX CPU timers out from hard interrupt context to task work, which is handled before returning to user space or to a VM. The expiry mechanism moves the expired timers to a stack local list head with sighand lock held. Once sighand is dropped the task can be preempted and a task which wants to delete a timer will spin-wait until the expiry task is scheduled back in. In the worst case this will end up in a livelock when the preempting task and the expiry task are pinned on the same CPU. The timer wheel has a timer_wait_running() mechanism for RT, which uses a per CPU timer-base expiry lock which is held by the expiry code and the task waiting for the timer function to complete blocks on that lock. This does not work in the same way for posix CPU timers as there is no timer base and expiry for process wide timers can run on any task belonging to that process, but the concept of waiting on an expiry lock can be used too in a slightly different way. Add a per task mutex to struct posix_cputimers_work, let the expiry task hold it accross the expiry function and let the deleting task which waits for the expiry to complete block on the mutex. In the non-contended case this results in an extra mutex_lock()/unlock() pair on both sides. This avoids spin-waiting on a task which is scheduled out, prevents the livelock and cures the problem for RT and !RT systems. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJHBAABCgAxFiEEQp8+kY+LLUocC4bMphj1TA10mKEFAmRGrj4THHRnbHhAbGlu dXRyb25peC5kZQAKCRCmGPVMDXSYoZhdEAC/lwfDWCnTXHC8ExQQRDIVNyXmDlLb EHB8ZY7Wc4gNZ8UEXEOLOXJHMG9bsbtPGctVewJwRGnXZWKVhpPwQba6kCRycyX0 0J6l5DlvUaGGrpoOzOZwgETRmtIZE9tEArZR8xlfRScYd93a7yLhwIjO8JaV9vKs IQpAQMeJ/ysp6gHrS59qakYfoHU/ERUAu3Tk4GqHUtPtcyz3nX3eTlLWV8LySqs+ 00qr2yc0bQFUFoKzTCxtM8lcEi9ja9SOj1rw28348O+BXE4d0HC12Ie7eU/CDN2Y OAlWYxVjy4LMh24LDrRQKTzoVqx9MXDx2g+09B3t8NK5LgeS+EJIjujDhZF147/H 5y906nplZUKa8BiZW5Rpm/HKH8tFI80T9XWSQCRBeMgTEJyRyRU1yASAwO4xw+dY Dn3tGmFGymcV/72o4ic9JFKQd8cTSxPjEJS3qqzMkEAtyI/zPBmKxj/Tce50OH40 6FSZq1uU21ZQzszwSHISwgFtNr75laUSK4Z1te5OhPOOz+C7O9YqHvqS/1jwhPj2 tMd8X17fRW3UTUBlBj+zqxqiEGBl/Yk2AvKrJIXGUtfWYCtjMJ7ieCf0kZ7NSVJx 9ewubA0gqseMD783YomZsy8LLtMKnhclJeslUOVb1oKs1q/WF1R/k6qjy9vUwYaB nIJuHl8mxSetag== =SVnj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'timers-core-2023-04-24' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull timers and timekeeping updates from Thomas Gleixner: - Improve the VDSO build time checks to cover all dynamic relocations VDSO does not allow dynamic relocations, but the build time check is incomplete and fragile.

posix-cpu-timers: Implement the missing timer_wait_running callback
For some unknown reason the introduction of the timer_wait_running callback
missed to fixup posix CPU timers, which went unnoticed for almost four years.
Marco reported recently that the WARN_ON() in timer_wait_running()
triggers with a posix CPU timer test case.
Posix CPU timers have two execution models for expiring timers depending on
CONFIG_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK:
1) If not enabled, the expiry happens in hard interrupt context so
spin waiting on the remote CPU is reasonably time bound.
Implement an empty stub function for that case.
2) If enabled, the expiry happens in task work before returning to user
space or guest mode. The expired timers are marked as firing and moved
from the timer queue to a local list head with sighand lock held. Once
the timers are moved, sighand lock is dropped and the expiry happens in
fully preemptible context. That means the expiring task can be scheduled
out, migrated, interrupted etc. So spin waiting on it is more than
suboptimal.
The timer wheel has a timer_wait_running() mechanism for RT, which uses
a per CPU timer-base expiry lock which is held by the expiry code and the
task waiting for the timer function to complete blocks on that lock.
This does not work in the same way for posix CPU timers as there is no
timer base and expiry for process wide timers can run on any task
belonging to that process, but the concept of waiting on an expiry lock
can be used too in a slightly different way:
- Add a mutex to struct posix_cputimers_work. This struct is per task
and used to schedule the expiry task work from the timer interrupt.
- Add a task_struct pointer to struct cpu_timer which is used to store
a the task which runs the expiry. That's filled in when the task
moves the expired timers to the local expiry list. That's not
affecting the size of the k_itimer union as there are bigger union
members already
- Let the task take the expiry mutex around the expiry function
- Let the waiter acquire a task reference with rcu_read_lock() held and
block on the expiry mutex
This avoids spin-waiting on a task which might not even be on a CPU and
works nicely for RT too.

timers/nohz: Add a comment about broken iowait counter update race
The per-cpu iowait task counter is incremented locally upon sleeping. But since the task can be woken to (and by) another CPU, the counter may then be decremented remotely. This is the source of a race involving readers VS writer of idle/iowait sleeptime. The following scenario shows an example where a /proc/stat reader observes a pending sleep time as IO whereas that pending sleep time later eventually gets accounted as non-IO. CPU 0 CPU 1 CPU 2 ----- ----- ------ //io_schedule() TASK A current->in_iowait = 1 rq(0)->nr_iowait++ //switch to idle // READ /proc/stat // See nr_iowait_cpu(0) == 1 return ts->iowait_sleeptime + ktime_sub(ktime_get(), ts->idle_entrytime) //try_to_wake_up(TASK A) rq(0)->nr_iowait-- //idle exit // See nr_iowait_cpu(0) == 0 ts->idle_sleeptime += ktime_sub(ktime_get(), ts->idle_entrytime) As a result subsequent reads on /proc/stat may expose backward progress. This is unfortunately hardly fixable. Just add a comment about that condition.

timers/nohz: Protect idle/iowait sleep time under seqcount
Reading idle/IO sleep time (eg: from /proc/stat) can race with idle exit updates because the state machine handling the stats is not atomic and requires a coherent read batch. As a result reading the sleep time may report irrelevant or backward values. Fix this with protecting the simple state machine within a seqcount. This is expected to be cheap enough not to add measurable performance impact on the idle path. Note this only fixes reader VS writer condition partitially. A race remains that involves remote updates of the CPU iowait task counter. It can hardly be fixed.

timers/nohz: Only ever update sleeptime from idle exit
The idle and IO sleeptime statistics appearing in /proc/stat can be currently updated from two sites: locally on idle exit and remotely by cpufreq. However there is no synchronization mechanism protecting concurrent updates. It is therefore possible to account the sleeptime twice, among all the other possible broken scenarios. To prevent from breaking the sleeptime accounting source, restrict the sleeptime updates to the local idle exit site. If there is a delta to add since the last update, IO/Idle sleep time readers will now only compute the delta without actually writing it back to the internal idle statistic fields. This fixes a writer VS writer race. Note there are still two known reader VS writer races to handle. A subsequent patch will fix one.

tick/common: Align tick period with the HZ tick.
With HIGHRES enabled tick_sched_timer() is programmed every jiffy to
expire the timer_list timers. This timer is programmed accurate in
respect to CLOCK_MONOTONIC so that 0 seconds and nanoseconds is the
first tick and the next one is 1000/CONFIG_HZ ms later. For HZ=250 it is
every 4 ms and so based on the current time the next tick can be
computed.
This accuracy broke since the commit mentioned below because the jiffy
based clocksource is initialized with higher accuracy in
read_persistent_wall_and_boot_offset(). This higher accuracy is
inherited during the setup in tick_setup_device(). The timer still fires
every 4ms with HZ=250 but timer is no longer aligned with
CLOCK_MONOTONIC with 0 as it origin but has an offset in the us/ns part
of the timestamp. The offset differs with every boot and makes it
impossible for user land to align with the tick.
Align the tick period with CLOCK_MONOTONIC ensuring that it is always a
multiple of 1000/CONFIG_HZ ms.

tick/nohz: Fix cpu_is_hotpluggable() by checking with nohz subsystem
For CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL systems, the tick_do_timer_cpu cannot be offlined.
However, cpu_is_hotpluggable() still returns true for those CPUs. This causes
torture tests that do offlining to end up trying to offline this CPU causing
test failures. Such failure happens on all architectures.
Fix the repeated error messages thrown by this (even if the hotplug errors are
harmless) by asking the opinion of the nohz subsystem on whether the CPU can be
hotplugged.

Updates for timekeeping, timers and clockevent/source drivers:
Core: - Yet another round of improvements to make the clocksource watchdog more robust: - Relax the clocksource-watchdog skew criteria to match the NTP criteria. - Temporarily skip the watchdog when high memory latencies are detected which can lead to false-positives. - Provide an option to enable TSC skew detection even on systems where TSC is marked as reliable. Sigh! - Initialize the restart block in the nanosleep syscalls to be directed to the no restart function instead of doing a partial setup on entry. This prevents an erroneous restart_syscall() invocation from corrupting user space data. While such a situation is clearly a user space bug, preventing this is a correctness issue and caters to the least suprise principle. - Ignore the hrtimer slack for realtime tasks in schedule_hrtimeout() to align it with the nanosleep semantics. Drivers: - The obligatory new driver bindings for Mediatek, Rockchip and RISC-V variants. - Add support for the C3STOP misfeature to the RISC-V timer to handle the case where the timer stops in deeper idle state. - Set up a static key in the RISC-V timer correctly before first use. - The usual small improvements and fixes all over the place -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJHBAABCgAxFiEEQp8+kY+LLUocC4bMphj1TA10mKEFAmPzV+cTHHRnbHhAbGlu dXRyb25peC5kZQAKCRCmGPVMDXSYoYlDEACMrjN2F6qeiOW94t4nQ3qP1M9AMSgO OihC04XuM14/3tEviu/cUOd60wYcUQ/kfI5C+IL35ezeP2w9lnuKqeFpG7aDOa33 5F3isDPamJdXZEZs44CW15brR6dqDlEi5acKee/TtFV9mN6xNhzxM64IaFqecPmW P+BTwunB8xwquY8RzsHXor/GOGb6mqWQIPoHEPnywTDe/xQYWt0Exzi7ch6HQr5Z ZzHG6X4h6UTNimjay6L4qsRQWILmPIg4Z5IlycWMQ8qDFM0lbnIJqkG4JwceolI6 aRQyLe3NQFcPYgq3ue+SNm4RckYn4NbAa1zFm0d5VDgKp4xW1sxvtkxOJuxjaOw2 /rLkHkmyuVvCeTMAySfxrwnszAoM505CHC6CEYc1xELbeCkROFUaymtVyNFnnTru V/Jt/T2Gyx6tOrafX7u+djUjv9figddRpNbskVZvEi3Ztq4MQ069nK3oSUqtP5vO INApNg4lq6s8aGqVE+Kp9+CKwGqZqI4MdxQMNMAmCRLPon6apActVawbj18qO/wS qblQ0cbF8a16itlQ3V68qmhcPh6EZOuq8II4etNq6U0ulV9712WfMbat3z53LG94 QNkAmZ3/wui93I+Q2NPxhf5ybJFQZhR0SOtVO6xIdTgOntkODwzzGu9UapfD8mLb k5BpWnH8CoUgiw== =I67j -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'timers-core-2023-02-20' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner: "Updates for timekeeping, timers and clockevent/source drivers: Core: - Yet another round of improvements to make the clocksource watchdog more robust: - Relax the clocksource-watchdog skew criteria to match the NTP criteria. - Temporarily skip the watchdog when high memory latencies are detected which can lead to false-positives. - Provide an option to enable TSC skew detection even on systems where TSC is marked as reliable.

alarmtimer: Prevent starvation by small intervals and SIG_IGN
syzbot reported a RCU stall which is caused by setting up an alarmtimer with a very small interval and ignoring the signal. The reproducer arms the alarm timer with a relative expiry of 8ns and an interval of 9ns. Not a problem per se, but that's an issue when the signal is ignored because then the timer is immediately rearmed because there is no way to delay that rearming to the signal delivery path.

Clocksource watchdog commits for v6.3
This pull request contains the following: o Improvements to clocksource-watchdog console messages. o Loosening of the clocksource-watchdog skew criteria to match those of NTP (500 parts per million, relaxed from 400 parts per million). If it is good enough for NTP, it is good enough for the clocksource watchdog. o Suspend clocksource-watchdog checking temporarily when high memory latencies are detected. This avoids the false-positive clock-skew events that have been seen on production systems running memory-intensive workloads. o On systems where the TSC is deemed trustworthy, use it as the watchdog timesource, but only when specifically requested using the tsc=watchdog kernel boot parameter. This permits clock-skew events to be detected, but avoids forcing workloads to use the slow HPET and ACPI PM timers. These last two timers are slow enough to cause systems to be needlessly marked bad on the one hand, and real skew does sometimes happen on production systems running production workloads on the other. And sometimes it is the fault of the TSC, or at least of the firmware that told the kernel to program the TSC with the wrong frequency. o Add a tsc=revalidate kernel boot parameter to allow the kernel to diagnose cases where the TSC hardware works fine, but was told by firmware to tick at the wrong frequency. Such cases are rare, but they really have happened on production systems. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJHBAABCgAxFiEEbK7UrM+RBIrCoViJnr8S83LZ+4wFAmPhnhkTHHBhdWxtY2tA a2VybmVsLm9yZwAKCRCevxLzctn7jClDD/9gTo62MakVQz2wzBRBcWunzX4BAfy2 2ORqZYqq8cJ4ccFVWtSq7gZ+0bxiT+J4jaVyJpmUPzaiCSfNUT+GLjWyLGzF9Xq+ xLWpFJOhFhKYjYN2m1ottuQ81V7aTlorC8AJt/o+oCJFGUCb/heg/UrmoZ6DweHw H7uXS9yenKdKgYoMENW+8IVsy16sT4D5Fe8XAD/2J6vBBUbgBzKWhi8XSgSHB/Xw GCP4UfXVGl5QRG9Xu4ZgrFV1t4azxtmdBghFm7/Kep/j6ttSY78yoS43AbI57bhD fWB5mfAQvO+Zo5/9rLjcDzeZCp/PSdARD41aycPMiei08K278tIN9T/fmfSoG6rV lVRdFxTHrQcqc9d+g+mGASQBezCF8pxonm9HYLBpNjyfYHnKV70SPXywO4oqAJ1I 7dCm+uv3Y8KaJdVnPUWOHJjvQLx9NWK5/pXBYjsYnLR+69EVmGDgPZ+/ulQxkWBj DtrQgs+sHQ8gngNpAilxuu/lrUXzrC8N4mtxXKBFQoCPYQMFBkr9S+aAEHIgZT9H 1dWwR1QxeR5uxt7U+3DmTyJ1XKfYjDyyScesILlLMLbdKgZtTS5wGaK4QdJ3QW2z z4zqPDccWDDZKZy9W4QBnFBx6Rn49C8xThy7f6Loc+2cKAT10hrEmRJsn79AOCDc 6hV0S2U9a6ypQg== =OWY2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'clocksource.2023.02.06b' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu into timers/core Pull clocksource watchdog changes from Paul McKenney: o Improvements to clocksource-watchdog console messages. o Loosening of the clocksource-watchdog skew criteria to match those of NTP (500 parts per million, relaxed from 400 parts per million).

posix-timers: Use atomic64_try_cmpxchg() in __update_gt_cputime()
Use atomic64_try_cmpxchg() instead of atomic64_cmpxchg() in __update_gt_cputime(). The x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns success in ZF flag, so this change saves a compare after cmpxchg() (and related move instruction in front of cmpxchg()). Also, atomic64_try_cmpxchg() implicitly assigns old *ptr value to "old" when cmpxchg() fails. There is no need to re-read the value in the loop. No functional change intended.

hrtimer: Ignore slack time for RT tasks in schedule_hrtimeout_range()
While in theory the timer can be triggered before expires + delta, for the cases of RT tasks they really have no business giving any lenience for extra slack time, so override any passed value by the user and always use zero for schedule_hrtimeout_range() calls. Furthermore, this is similar to what the nanosleep(2) family already does with current->timer_slack_ns.

clocksource: Suspend the watchdog temporarily when high read latency detected

Use 'tsc=unstable'. [ 820.092382] sched_clock: Marking unstable (818769414384, 1195404998) [ 820.643627] clocksource: Checking clocksource tsc synchronization from CPU 267 to CPUs 0,4,25,70,126,430,557,564. [ 821.067990] clocksource: Switched to clocksource hpet This can be reproduced by running memory intensive 'stream' tests, or some of the stress-ng subcases such as 'ioport'. The reason for these issues is the when system is under heavy load, the read latency of the clocksources can be very high. Even lightweight TSC reads can show high latencies, and latencies are much worse for external clocksources such as HPET or the APIC PM timer. These latencies can result in false-positive clocksource-unstable determinations. These issues were initially reported by a customer running on a production system, and this problem was reproduced on several generations of Xeon servers, especially when running the stress-ng test. These Xeon servers were not production systems, but they did have the latest steppings and firmware. Given that the clocksource watchdog is a continual diagnostic check with frequency of twice a second, there is no need to rush it when the system is under heavy load. Therefore, when high clocksource read latencies are detected, suspend the watchdog timer for 5 minutes.

timers: Prevent union confusion from unexpected restart_syscall()
The nanosleep syscalls use the restart_block mechanism, with a quirk: The `type` and `rmtp`/`compat_rmtp` fields are set up unconditionally on syscall entry, while the rest of the restart_block is only set up in the unlikely case that the syscall is actually interrupted by a signal (or pseudo-signal) that doesn't have a signal handler. If the restart_block was set up by a previous syscall (futex(..., FUTEX_WAIT, ...) or poll()) and hasn't been invalidated somehow since then, this will clobber some of the union fields used by futex_wait_restart() and do_restart_poll(). If userspace afterwards wrongly calls the restart_syscall syscall, futex_wait_restart()/do_restart_poll() will read struct fields that have been clobbered. This doesn't actually lead to anything particularly interesting because none of the union fields contain trusted kernel data, and futex(..., FUTEX_WAIT, ...) and poll() aren't syscalls where it makes much sense to apply seccomp filters to their arguments. So the current consequences are just of the "if userspace does bad stuff, it can damage itself, and that's not a problem" flavor. But still, it seems like a hazard for future developers, so invalidate the restart_block when partly setting it up in the nanosleep syscalls.

clocksource: Improve "skew is too large" messages
When clocksource_watchdog() detects excessive clocksource skew compared to the watchdog clocksource, it marks the clocksource under test as unstable and prints several lines worth of message. But that message is unclear to anyone unfamiliar with the code: clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU2: Marking clocksource 'wdtest-ktime' as unstable because the skew is too large: clocksource: 'kvm-clock' wd_nsec: 400744390 wd_now: 612625c2c wd_last: 5fa7f7c66 mask: ffffffffffffffff clocksource: 'wdtest-ktime' cs_nsec: 600744034 cs_now: 173081397a292d4f cs_last: 17308139565a8ced mask: ffffffffffffffff clocksource: 'kvm-clock' (not 'wdtest-ktime') is current clocksource. Therefore, add the following line near the end of that message: Clocksource 'wdtest-ktime' skewed 199999644 ns (199 ms) over watchdog 'kvm-clock' interval of 400744390 ns (400 ms) This new line clearly indicates the amount of skew between the two clocksources, along with the duration of the time interval over which the skew occurred, both in nanoseconds and milliseconds.

clocksource: Loosen clocksource watchdog constraints
Currently, MAX_SKEW_USEC is set to 100 microseconds, which has worked reasonably well. However, NTP is willing to tolerate 500 microseconds of skew per second, and a clocksource that is good enough for NTP should be good enough for the clocksource watchdog. The watchdog's skew is controlled by MAX_SKEW_USEC and the CLOCKSOURCE_WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW_US Kconfig option. However, these values are doubled before being associated with a clocksource's ->uncertainty_margin, and the ->uncertainty_margin values of the pair of clocksource's being compared are summed before checking against the skew. Therefore, set both MAX_SKEW_USEC and the default for the CLOCKSOURCE_WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW_US Kconfig option to 125 microseconds of skew per second, resulting in 500 microseconds of skew per second in the clocksource watchdog's skew comparison.

I'll have a "late" 6.1-rc1 pull for you that removes the now unused prandom_u32_max() function, just in case any other trees add a new use case of it that needs to converted. According to linux-next, there may be two trivial cases of prandom_u32_max() reintroductions that are fixable with a 's/.../.../'. So I'll have for you a final conversion patch doing that alongside the removal patch during the second week. This is a treewide change that touches many files throughout. - More consistent use of get_random_canary(). - Updates to comments, documentation, tests, headers, and simplification in configuration. - The arch_get_random*_early() abstraction was only used by arm64 and wasn't entirely useful, so this has been replaced by code that works in all relevant contexts. - The kernel will use and manage random seeds in non-volatile EFI variables, refreshing a variable with a fresh seed when the RNG is initialized. The RNG GUID namespace is then hidden from efivarfs to prevent accidental leakage. These changes are split into random.c infrastructure code used in the EFI subsystem, in this pull request, and related support inside of EFISTUB, in Ard's EFI tree. These are co-dependent for full functionality, but the order of merging doesn't matter. - Part of the infrastructure added for the EFI support is also used for an improvement to the way vsprintf initializes its siphash key, replacing an sleep loop wart. - The hardware RNG framework now always calls its correct random.c input function, add_hwgenerator_randomness(), rather than sometimes going through helpers better suited for other cases. - The add_latent_entropy() function has long been called from the fork handler, but is a no-op when the latent entropy gcc plugin isn't used, which is fine for the purposes of latent entropy. But it was missing out on the cycle counter that was also being mixed in beside the latent entropy variable. So now, if the latent entropy gcc plugin isn't enabled, add_latent_entropy() will expand to a call to add_device_randomness(NULL, 0), which adds a cycle counter, without the absent latent entropy variable. - The RNG is now reseeded from a delayed worker, rather than on demand when used. Always running from a worker allows it to make use of the CPU RNG on platforms like S390x, whose instructions are too slow to do so from interrupts. It also has the effect of adding in new inputs more frequently with more regularity, amounting to a long term transcript of random values. Plus, it helps a bit with the upcoming vDSO implementation (which isn't yet ready for 6.2). - The jitter entropy algorithm now tries to execute on many different CPUs, round-robining, in hopes of hitting even more memory latencies and other unpredictable effects. It also will mix in a cycle counter when the entropy timer fires, in addition to being mixed in from the main loop, to account more explicitly for fluctuations in that timer firing. And the state it touches is now kept within the same cache line, so that it's assured that the different execution contexts will cause latencies. * tag 'random-6.2-rc1-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/crng/random: (23 commits) random: include <linux/once.h> in the right header random: align entropy_timer_state to cache line random: mix in cycle counter when jitter timer fires random: spread out jitter callback to different CPUs random: remove extraneous period and add a missing one in comments efi: random: refresh non-volatile random seed when RNG is initialized vsprintf: initialize siphash key using notifier random: add back async readiness notifier random: reseed in delayed work rather than on-demand random: always mix cycle counter in add_latent_entropy() hw_random: use add_hwgenerator_randomness() for early entropy random: modernize documentation comment on get_random_bytes() random: adjust comment to account for removed function random: remove early archrandom abstraction random: use random.trust_{bootloader,cpu} command line option only stackprotector: actually use get_random_canary() stackprotector: move get_random_canary() into stackprotector.h treewide: use get_random_u32_inclusive() when possible treewide: use get_random_u32_{above,below}() instead of manual loop treewide: use get_random_u32_below() instead of deprecated function ... |

vdso/timens: Refactor copy-pasted find_timens_vvar_page() helper into one copy
find_timens_vvar_page() is not architecture-specific, as can be seen from how all five per-architecture versions of it are the same. (arm64, powerpc and riscv are exactly the same; x86 and s390 have two characters difference inside a comment, less blank lines, and mark the !CONFIG_TIME_NS version as inline.) Refactor the five copies into a central copy in kernel/time/namespace.c.

timers: Provide timer_shutdown[_sync]()
Tearing down timers which have circular dependencies to other functionality, e.g. workqueues, where the timer can schedule work and work can arm timers, is not trivial. In those cases it is desired to shutdown the timer in a way which prevents rearming of the timer. The mechanism to do so is to set timer->function to NULL and use this as an indicator for the timer arming functions to ignore the (re)arm request. Expose new interfaces for this: timer_shutdown_sync() and timer_shutdown(). timer_shutdown_sync() has the same functionality as timer_delete_sync() plus the NULL-ification of the timer function. timer_shutdown() has the same functionality as timer_delete() plus the NULL-ification of the timer function. In both cases the rearming of the timer is prevented by silently discarding rearm attempts due to timer->function being NULL.

timers: Silently ignore timers with a NULL function
Tearing down timers which have circular dependencies to other functionality, e.g. workqueues, where the timer can schedule work and work can arm timers, is not trivial. In those cases it is desired to shutdown the timer in a way which prevents rearming of the timer. The mechanism to do so is to set timer->function to NULL and use this as an indicator for the timer arming functions to ignore the (re)arm request. In preparation for that replace the warnings in the relevant code paths with checks for timer->function == NULL. If the pointer is NULL, then discard the rearm request silently. Add debug_assert_init() instead of the WARN_ON_ONCE(!timer->function) checks so that debug objects can warn about non-initialized timers. The warning of debug objects does not warn if timer->function == NULL. It warns when timer was not initialized using timer_setup[_on_stack]() or via DEFINE_TIMER(). If developers fail to enable debug objects and then waste lots of time to figure out why their non-initialized timer is not firing, they deserve it. Same for initializing a timer with a NULL function.

timers: Use del_timer_sync() even on UP
del_timer_sync() is assumed to be pointless on uniprocessor systems and can be mapped to del_timer() because in theory del_timer() can never be invoked while the timer callback function is executed. This is not entirely true because del_timer() can be invoked from interrupt context and therefore hit in the middle of a running timer callback. Contrary to that del_timer_sync() is not allowed to be invoked from interrupt context unless the affected timer is marked with TIMER_IRQSAFE. del_timer_sync() has proper checks in place to detect such a situation. Give up on the UP optimization and make del_timer_sync() unconditionally available.

timers: Replace BUG_ON()s
The timer code still has a few BUG_ON()s left which are crashing the kernel in situations where it still can recover or simply refuse to take an action. Remove the one in the hotplug callback which checks for the CPU being offline. If that happens then the whole hotplug machinery will explode in colourful ways.

freezer,sched: Rewrite core freezer logic
Rewrite the core freezer to behave better wrt thawing and be simpler in general. By replacing PF_FROZEN with TASK_FROZEN, a special block state, it is ensured frozen tasks stay frozen until thawed and don't randomly wake up early, as is currently possible. As such, it does away with PF_FROZEN and PF_FREEZER_SKIP, freeing up two PF_flags (yay!). Specifically; the current scheme works a little like: freezer_do_not_count(); schedule(); freezer_count(); And either the task is blocked, or it lands in try_to_freezer() through freezer_count(). Now, when it is blocked, the freezer considers it frozen and continues. However, on thawing, once pm_freezing is cleared, freezer_count() stops working, and any random/spurious wakeup will let a task run before its time. That is, thawing tries to thaw things in explicit order; kernel threads and workqueues before doing bringing SMP back before userspace etc.. However due to the above mentioned races it is entirely possible for userspace tasks to thaw (by accident) before SMP is back. This can be a fatal problem in asymmetric ISA architectures (eg ARMv9) where the userspace task requires a special CPU to run. As said; replace this with a special task state TASK_FROZEN and add the following state transitions: TASK_FREEZABLE -> TASK_FROZEN __TASK_STOPPED -> TASK_FROZEN __TASK_TRACED -> TASK_FROZEN The new TASK_FREEZABLE can be set on any state part of TASK_NORMAL (IOW. TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE) -- any such state is already required to deal with spurious wakeups and the freezer causes one such when thawing the task (since the original state is lost). The special __TASK_{STOPPED,TRACED} states *can* be restored since their canonical state is in ->jobctl. With this, frozen tasks need an explicit TASK_FROZEN wakeup and are free of undue (early / spurious) wakeups.

time: Correct the prototype of ns_to_kernel_old_timeval and ns_to_timespec64
In ns_to_kernel_old_timeval() definition, the function argument is defined
with const identifier in kernel/time/time.c, but the prototype in
include/linux/time32.h looks different.
- The function is defined in kernel/time/time.c as below:
struct __kernel_old_timeval ns_to_kernel_old_timeval(const s64 nsec)
- The function is decalared in include/linux/time32.h as below:
extern struct __kernel_old_timeval ns_to_kernel_old_timeval(s64 nsec);
Because the variable of arithmethic types isn't modified in the calling scope,
there's no need to mark arguments as const, which was already mentioned during
review (Link[1) of the original patch.
Likewise remove the "const" keyword in both definition and declaration of
ns_to_timespec64() as requested by Arnd (Link[2]).

This is useful to battery-powered systems such as ChromeOS and Android. In addition, a new RCU_NOCB_CPU_CB_BOOST kernel boot parameter prevents offloaded callbacks from interfering with real-time workloads and with energy-efficiency mechanisms. poll.2022.07.21a: Polled grace-period updates, perhaps most notably making these APIs account for both normal and expedited grace periods. rcu-tasks.2022.06.21a: Tasks RCU updates, perhaps most notably reducing the CPU overhead of RCU tasks trace grace periods by more than a factor of two on a system with 15,000 tasks. The reduction is expected to increase with the number of tasks, so it seems reasonable to hypothesize that a system with 150,000 tasks might see a 20-fold reduction in CPU overhead. torture.2022.06.21a: Torture-test updates. ctxt.2022.07.05a: Updates that merge RCU's dyntick-idle tracking into context tracking, thus reducing the overhead of transitioning to kernel mode from either idle or nohz_full userspace execution for kernels that track context independently of RCU.
