- 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

EXPORT_SYMBOL and __init is a bad combination because the .init.text
section is freed up after the initialization. Hence, modules cannot
use symbols annotated __init. The access to a freed symbol may end up
with kernel panic.
modpost used to detect it, but it had been broken for a decade.
Commit 28438794ab ("modpost: fix section mismatch check for exported
init/exit sections") fixed it so modpost started to warn it again, then
this showed up:

The symbol tick_nohz_full_setup is exported and annotated __init
Fix this by removing the __init annotation of tick_nohz_full_setup or drop the export.
Drop the export because tick_nohz_full_setup() is only called from the

Pull timer and timekeeping updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Expose CLOCK_TAI to instrumentation to aid with TSN debugging.
- Ensure that the clockevent is stopped when there is no timer armed to
avoid pointless wakeups.
- Make the sched clock frequency handling and rounding consistent.
- Provide a better debugobject hint for delayed works. The timer
callback is always the same, which makes it difficult to identify the
underlying work. Use the work function as a hint instead.
- Move the timer specific sysctl code into the timer subsystem.
- The usual set of improvements and cleanups
* tag 'timers-core-2022-05-23' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
timers: Provide a better debugobjects hint for delayed works
time/sched_clock: Fix formatting of frequency reporting code
time/sched_clock: Use Hz as the unit for clock rate reporting below 4kHz
time/sched_clock: Round the frequency reported to nearest rather than down
timekeeping: Consolidate fast timekeeper
timekeeping: Annotate ktime_get_boot_fast_ns() with data_race()
timers/nohz: Switch to ONESHOT_STOPPED in the low-res handler when the tick is stopped
timekeeping: Introduce fast accessor to clock tai
tracing/timer: Add missing argument documentation of trace points
clocksource: Replace cpumask_weight() with cpumask_empty()
timers: Move timer sysctl into the timer code
clockevents: Use dedicated list iterator variable
timers: Simplify calc_index()
timers: Initialize base::next_expiry_recalc in timers_prepare_cpu()
When tick_nohz_stop_tick() stops the tick and high resolution timers are
disabled, then the clock event device is not put into ONESHOT_STOPPED
mode. This can lead to spurious timer interrupts with some clock event
device drivers that don't shut down entirely after firing.
Eliminate these by putting the device into ONESHOT_STOPPED mode at points
where it is not being reprogrammed. When there are no timers active, then
tick_program_event() with KTIME_MAX can be used to stop the device. When
there is a timer active, the device can be stopped at the next tick (any
new timer added by timers will reprogram the tick).

While running some testing on code that happened to allow the variable
tick_nohz_full_running to get set but with no "possible" NOHZ cores to
back up that setting, this warning triggered:
if (unlikely(tick_do_timer_cpu == TICK_DO_TIMER_NONE))
WARN_ON(tick_nohz_full_running);
The console was overwhemled with an endless stream of one WARN per tick
per core and there was no way to even see what was going on w/o using a
serial console to capture it and then trace it back to this.
Change it to WARN_ON_ONCE().

RCU_SOFTIRQ used to be special in that it could be raised on purpose
within the idle path to prevent from stopping the tick. Some code still
prevents from unnecessary warnings related to this specific behaviour
while entering in dynticks-idle mode.
However the nohz layout has changed quite a bit in ten years, and the
removal of CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ has been the final straw to this
safe-conduct. Now the RCU_SOFTIRQ vector is expected to be raised from
sane places.
A remaining corner case is admitted though when the vector is invoked
in fragile hotplug path.

On some rare cases, the timekeeper CPU may be delaying its jiffies
update duty for a while. Known causes include:
* The timekeeper is waiting on stop_machine in a MULTI_STOP_DISABLE_IRQ
or MULTI_STOP_RUN state. Disabled interrupts prevent from timekeeping
updates while waiting for the target CPU to complete its
stop_machine() callback.
* The timekeeper vcpu has VMEXIT'ed for a long while due to some overload
on the host.
Detect and fix these situations with emergency timekeeping catchups.

When at least one CPU runs in nohz_full mode, a dedicated timekeeper CPU
is guaranteed to stay online and to never stop its tick.
Meanwhile on some rare case, the dedicated timekeeper may be running
with interrupts disabled for a while, such as in stop_machine.
If jiffies stop being updated, a nohz_full CPU may end up endlessly
programming the next tick in the past, taking the last jiffies update
monotonic timestamp as a stale base, resulting in an tick storm.
Here is a scenario where it matters:
0) CPU 0 is the timekeeper and CPU 1 a nohz_full CPU.
1) A stop machine callback is queued to execute somewhere.
2) CPU 0 reaches MULTI_STOP_DISABLE_IRQ while CPU 1 is still in
MULTI_STOP_PREPARE. Hence CPU 0 can't do its timekeeping duty. CPU 1
can still take IRQs.
3) CPU 1 receives an IRQ which queues a timer callback one jiffy forward.
4) On IRQ exit, CPU 1 schedules the tick one jiffy forward, taking
last_jiffies_update as a base. But last_jiffies_update hasn't been
updated for 2 jiffies since the timekeeper has interrupts disabled.
5) clockevents_program_event(), which relies on ktime_get(), observes
that the expiration is in the past and therefore programs the min
delta event on the clock.
6) The tick fires immediately, goto 3)
7) Tick storm, the nohz_full CPU is drown and takes ages to reach
MULTI_STOP_DISABLE_IRQ, which is the only way out of this situation.
Solve this with unconditionally updating jiffies if the value is stale
on nohz_full IRQ entry. IRQs and other disturbances are expected to be
rare enough on nohz_full for the unconditional call to ktime_get() to
actually matter.

When the tick dependency of a task is updated, we want it to aknowledge
the new state and restart the tick if needed. If the task is not
running, we don't need to kick it because it will observe the new
dependency upon scheduling in. But if the task is running, we may need
to send an IPI to it so that it gets notified.
Unfortunately we don't have the means to check if a task is running
in a race free way. Checking p->on_cpu in a synchronized way against
p->tick_dep_mask would imply adding a full barrier between
prepare_task_switch() and tick_nohz_task_switch(), which we want to
avoid in this fast-path.
Therefore we blindly fire an IPI to the task's CPU.
Meanwhile we can check if the task is queued on the CPU rq because
p->on_rq is always set to TASK_ON_RQ_QUEUED _before_ schedule() and its
full barrier that precedes tick_nohz_task_switch(). And if the task is
queued on a nohz_full CPU, it also has fair chances to be running as the
isolation constraints prescribe running single tasks on full dynticks
CPUs.
So use this as a trick to check if we can spare an IPI toward a
non-running task.
NOTE: For the ordering to be correct, it is assumed that we never
deactivate a task while it is running, the only exception being the task
deactivating itself while scheduling out.

When adding a tick dependency to a task, its necessary to
wake up the CPU where the task resides to reevaluate tick
dependencies on that CPU.
However the current code wakes up all nohz_full CPUs, which
is unnecessary.
Switch to waking up a single CPU, by using ordering of writes
to task->cpu and task->tick_dep_mask.

The idle_exittime field of tick_sched is used to record the time when
the idle state was left. but currently the idle_exittime is updated in
the function tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick(), which is not always in idle
state when nohz_full is configured:
tick_irq_exit
tick_nohz_irq_exit
tick_nohz_full_update_tick
tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick
ts->idle_exittime = now;
It's thus overwritten by mistake on nohz_full tick restart. Move the
update to the appropriate idle exit path instead.

In nohz_full mode, switching from idle to a task will unconditionally
issue a tick restart. If the task is alone in the runqueue or is the
highest priority, the tick will fire once then eventually stop. But that
alone is still undesired noise.
Therefore, only restart the tick on idle exit when it's strictly
necessary.

On RT a task which has soft interrupts disabled can block on a lock and
schedule out to idle while soft interrupts are pending. This triggers the
warning in the NOHZ idle code which complains about going idle with pending
soft interrupts. But as the task is blocked soft interrupt processing is
temporarily blocked as well which means that such a warning is a false
positive.
To prevent that check the per CPU state which indicates that a scheduled
out task has soft interrupts disabled.

But even if no CPU would have installed a clockevent and taken over the
duty then the question whether the tick on the current CPU can be stopped
or not is moot. In that case the current CPU would have no clockevent
either, so there would be nothing to keep ticking.

The quick check in tick_do_update_jiffies64() whether jiffies need to be
updated is not really correct under all circumstances and on all
architectures, especially not on 32bit systems.
The quick check does:
if (now < READ_ONCE(tick_next_period))
return;
and the counterpart in the update is:
WRITE_ONCE(tick_next_period, next_update_time);
This has two problems:
1) On weakly ordered architectures there is no guarantee that the stores
before the WRITE_ONCE() are visible which means that other CPUs can
operate on a stale jiffies value.
2) On 32bit the store of tick_next_period which is an u64 is split into
two 32bit stores. If the first 32bit store advances tick_next_period
far out and the second 32bit store is delayed (virt, NMI ...) then
jiffies will become stale until the second 32bit store happens.
Address this by seperating the handling for 32bit and 64bit.
On 64bit problem #1 is addressed by replacing READ_ONCE() / WRITE_ONCE()
with smp_load_acquire() / smp_store_release().
On 32bit problem #2 is addressed by protecting the quick check with the
jiffies sequence counter. The load and stores can be plain because the
sequence count mechanics provides the required barriers already.

The variable tick_period is initialized to NSEC_PER_TICK / HZ during boot
and never updated again.
If NSEC_PER_TICK is not an integer multiple of HZ this computation is less
accurate than TICK_NSEC which has proper rounding in place.
Aside of the inaccuracy there is no reason for having this variable at
all. It's just a pointless indirection and all usage sites can just use the
TICK_NSEC constant.

Currently, can_stop_idle_tick() prints "NOHZ: local_softirq_pending HH"
(where "HH" is the hexadecimal softirq vector number) when one or more
non-RCU softirq handlers are still enabled when checking to stop the
scheduler-tick interrupt. This message is not as enlightening as one
might hope, so this commit changes it to "NOHZ tick-stop error: Non-RCU

Setting a tick dependency on any task, including the case where a task
sets that dependency on itself, triggers an IPI to all CPUs. That is
of course suboptimal but it had previously not been an issue because it
was only used by POSIX CPU timers on nohz_full, which apparently never
occurs in latency-sensitive workloads in production. (Or users of such
systems are suffering in silence on the one hand or venting their ire
on the wrong people on the other.)
But RCU now sets a task tick dependency on the current task in order
to fix stall issues that can occur during RCU callback processing.
Thus, RCU callback processing triggers frequent system-wide IPIs from
nohz_full CPUs. This is quite counter-productive, after all, avoiding
IPIs is what nohz_full is supposed to be all about.
This commit therefore optimizes tasks' self-setting of a task tick
dependency by using tick_nohz_full_kick() to avoid the system-wide IPI.
Instead, only the execution of the one task is disturbed, which is
acceptable given that this disturbance is well down into the noise
compared to the degree to which the RCU callback processing itself
disturbs execution.

seqlock consists of a sequence counter and a spinlock_t which is used to
serialize the writers. spinlock_t is substituted by a "sleeping" spinlock
on PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels which breaks the usage in the timekeeping
code as the writers are executed in hard interrupt and therefore
non-preemptible context even on PREEMPT_RT.
The spinlock in seqlock cannot be unconditionally replaced by a
raw_spinlock_t as many seqlock users have nesting spinlock sections or
other code which is not suitable to run in truly atomic context on RT.
Instead of providing a raw_seqlock API for a single use case, open code the
seqlock for the jiffies use case and implement it with a raw_spinlock_t and
a sequence counter.

Standardize the naming on top of the vtime_accounting_enabled_*() base.
Also make it clear we are checking the vtime state of the
*current* CPU with this function. We'll need to add an API to check that
state on remote CPUs as well, so we must disambiguate the naming.
