2024-11-07timers: Switch to use hrtimer_setup_sleeper_on_stack()Nam Cao
hrtimer_setup_sleeper_on_stack() replaces hrtimer_init_sleeper_on_stack() to keep the naming convention consistent. Convert the usage sites over to it. The conversion was done with Coccinelle.

2024-11-07hrtimers: Introduce hrtimer_setup_sleeper_on_stack()Nam Cao
The hrtimer_init*() API is replaced by hrtimer_setup*() variants to initialize the timer including the callback function at once. hrtimer_init_sleeper_on_stack() does not need user to setup the callback function separately, so a new variant would not be strictly necessary. Nonetheless, to keep the naming convention consistent, introduce hrtimer_setup_sleeper_on_stack(). hrtimer_init_on_stack() will be removed once all users are converted.

2024-11-07hrtimers: Introduce hrtimer_setup_on_stack()Nam Cao
To initialize hrtimer on stack, hrtimer_init_on_stack() needs to be called and also hrtimer::function must be set. This is error-prone and awkward to use. Introduce hrtimer_setup_on_stack() which does both of these things, so that users of hrtimer can be simplified. The new setup function also has a sanity check for the provided function pointer. If NULL, a warning is emitted and a dummy callback installed. hrtimer_init_on_stack() will be removed as soon as all of its users have been converted to the new function.

2024-11-07softirq: Use a dedicated thread for timer wakeups on PREEMPT_RT.Sebastian Andrzej Siewior
The timer and hrtimer soft interrupts are raised in hard interrupt context. With threaded interrupts force enabled or on PREEMPT_RT this leads to waking the ksoftirqd for the processing of the soft interrupt. ksoftirqd runs as SCHED_OTHER task which means it will compete with other tasks for CPU resources. This can introduce long delays for timer processing on heavy loaded systems and is not desired. Split the TIMER_SOFTIRQ and HRTIMER_SOFTIRQ processing into a dedicated timers thread and let it run at the lowest SCHED_FIFO priority. Wake-ups for RT tasks happen from hardirq context so only timer_list timers and hrtimers for "regular" tasks are processed here. The higher priority ensures that wakeups are performed before scheduling SCHED_OTHER tasks. Using a dedicated variable to store the pending softirq bits values ensure that the timer are not accidentally picked up by ksoftirqd and other threaded interrupts. It shouldn't be picked up by ksoftirqd since it runs at lower priority. However if ksoftirqd is already running while a timer fires, then ksoftird will be PI-boosted due to the BH-lock to ktimer's priority. The timer thread can pick up pending softirqs from ksoftirqd but only if the softirq load is high. It is not be desired that the picked up softirqs are processed at SCHED_FIFO priority under high softirq load but this can already happen by a PI-boost by a force-threaded interrupt.

2024-11-07signal: Queue ignored posixtimers on ignore listThomas Gleixner
Queue posixtimers which have their signal ignored on the ignored list: 1) When the timer fires and the signal has SIG_IGN set 2) When SIG_IGN is installed via sigaction() and a timer signal is already queued This only happens when the signal is for a valid timer, which delivered the signal in periodic mode. One-shot timer signals are correctly dropped. Due to the lock order constraints (sighand::siglock nests inside timer::lock) the signal code cannot access any of the timer fields which are relevant to make this decision, e.g. timer::it_status. This is addressed by establishing a protection scheme which requires to lock both locks on the timer side for modifying decision fields in the timer struct and therefore makes it possible for the signal delivery to evaluate with only sighand:siglock being held: 1) Move the NULLification of timer->it_signal into the sighand::siglock protected section of timer_delete() and check timer::it_signal in the code path which determines whether the signal is dropped or queued on the ignore list. This ensures that a deleted timer cannot be moved onto the ignore list, which would prevent it from being freed on exit() as it is not longer in the process' posix timer list. If the timer got moved to the ignored list before deletion then it is removed from the ignored list under sighand lock in timer_delete(). 2) Provide a new timer::it_sig_periodic flag, which gets set in the signal queue path with both timer and sighand locks held if the timer is actually in periodic mode at expiry time. The ignore list code checks this flag under sighand::siglock and drops the signal when it is not set. If it is set, then the signal is moved to the ignored list independent of the actual state of the timer. When the signal is un-ignored later then the signal is moved back to the signal queue. On signal delivery the posix timer side decides about dropping the signal if the timer was re-armed, dis-armed or deleted based on the signal sequence counter check. If the thread/process exits then not yet delivered signals are discarded which means the reference of the timer containing the sigqueue is dropped and frees the timer. This is way cheaper than requiring all code paths to lock sighand::siglock of the target thread/process on any modification of timer::it_status or going all the way and removing pending signals from the signal queues on every rearm, disarm or delete operation. So the protection scheme here is that on the timer side both timer::lock and sighand::siglock have to be held for modifying timer::it_signal timer::it_sig_periodic which means that on the signal side holding sighand::siglock is enough to evaluate these fields. In posixtimer_deliver_signal() holding timer::lock is sufficient to do the sequence validation against timer::it_signal_seq because a concurrent expiry is waiting on timer::lock to be released. This completes the SIG_IGN handling and such timers are not longer self rearmed which avoids pointless wakeups.

2024-11-07posix-cpu-timers: Cleanup the firing logicThomas Gleixner

This is a pointless exercise as this can be simply expressed with a boolean. Only if set, the signal is delivered. This makes delete and rearm consistent with the rest of the posix timers. Convert firing to bool and fixup the usage sites accordingly and add comments why the timer cannot be dequeued right away.

This is just wrong as after the reprogramming of a timer the overrun count starts over from a clean state, i.e. 0.

2024-11-07posix-timers: Make signal delivery consistentThomas Gleixner
Signals of timers which are reprogammed, disarmed or deleted can deliver signals related to the past. The POSIX spec is blury about this: - "The effect of disarming or resetting a timer with pending expiration notifications is unspecified." - "The disposition of pending signals for the deleted timer is unspecified." In both cases it is reasonable to expect that pending signals are discarded. Especially in the reprogramming case it does not make sense to account for previous overruns or to deliver a signal for a timer which has been disarmed. This makes the behaviour consistent and understandable. Remove the si_sys_private check from the signal delivery code and invoke posix_timer_deliver_signal() unconditionally for posix timer related signals. Change posix_timer_deliver_signal() so it controls the actual signal delivery via the return value. It now instructs the signal code to drop the signal when: 1) The timer does not longer exist in the hash table 2) The timer signal_seq value is not the same as the si_sys_private value which was set when the signal was queued. This is also a preparatory change to embed the sigqueue into the k_itimer structure, which in turn allows to remove the si_sys_private magic.

2024-10-31clockevents: Shutdown and unregister current clockevents at CPUHP_AP_TICK_DYINGFrederic Weisbecker
The way the clockevent devices are finally stopped while a CPU is offlining is currently chaotic. The layout being by order: 1) tick_sched_timer_dying() stops the tick and the underlying clockevent but only for oneshot case. The periodic tick and its related clockevent still runs. 2) tick_broadcast_offline() detaches and stops the per-cpu oneshot broadcast and append it to the released list. 3) Some individual clockevent drivers stop the clockevents (a second time if the tick is oneshot) 4) Once the CPU is dead, a control CPU remotely detaches and stops (a 3rd time if oneshot mode) the CPU clockevent and adds it to the released list. 5) The released list containing the broadcast device released on step 2) and the remotely detached clockevent from step 4) are unregistered. These random events can be factorized if the current clockevent is detached and stopped by the dying CPU at the generic layer, that is from the dying CPU: a) Stop the tick b) Stop/detach the underlying per-cpu oneshot broadcast clockevent c) Stop/detach the underlying clockevent d) Release / unregister the clockevents from b) and c) e) Release / unregister the remaining clockevents from the dying CPU. This part could be performed by the dying CPU This way the drivers and the tick layer don't need to care about clockevent operations during cpuhotplug down. This also unifies the tick behaviour on offline CPUs between oneshot and periodic modes, avoiding offline ticks altogether for sanity. Adopt the simplification.

2024-10-31clockevents: Improve clockevents_notify_released() commentFrederic Weisbecker
When a new clockevent device is added and replaces a previous device, the latter is put into the released list. Then the released list is added back. This may look counter-intuitive but the reason is that released device might be suitable for other uses. For example a released CPU regular clockevent can be a better replacement for the current broadcast event. Similarly a released broadcast clockevent can be a better replacement for the current regular clockevent of a given CPU. Improve comments stating about these subtleties.

2024-10-29posix-timers: Add proper state trackingThomas Gleixner
Right now the state tracking is done by two struct members: - it_active: A boolean which tracks armed/disarmed state - it_signal_seq: A sequence counter which is used to invalidate settings and prevent rearming Replace it_active with it_status and keep properly track about the states in one place. This allows to reuse it_signal_seq to track reprogramming, disarm and delete operations in order to drop signals which are related to the state previous of those operations.

2024-10-29posix-timers: Drop signal if timer has been deleted or reprogrammedThomas Gleixner
No point in delivering a signal from the past. POSIX does not specify the behaviour here: - "The effect of disarming or resetting a timer with pending expiration notifications is unspecified." - "The disposition of pending signals for the deleted timer is unspecified." In both cases it is reasonable to expect that pending signals are discarded. Especially in the reprogramming case it does not make sense to account for previous overruns or to deliver a signal for a timer which has been disarmed. Drop the signal as that is conistent and understandable behaviour.

2024-10-29signal: Allow POSIX timer signals to be droppedThomas Gleixner
In case that a timer was reprogrammed or deleted an already pending signal is obsolete. Right now such signals are kept around and eventually delivered. While POSIX is blury about this: - "The effect of disarming or resetting a timer with pending expiration notifications is unspecified." - "The disposition of pending signals for the deleted timer is unspecified." it is reasonable in both cases to expect that pending signals are discarded as they have no meaning anymore.

2024-10-29posix-timers: Cure si_sys_private raceThomas Gleixner
The si_sys_private member of the siginfo which is embedded in the preallocated sigqueue is used by the posix timer code to decide whether a timer must be reprogrammed on signal delivery. The handling of this is racy as a long standing comment in that code documents. It is modified with the timer lock held, but without sighand lock being held. The actual signal delivery code checks for it under sighand lock without holding the timer lock. Hand the new value to send_sigqueue() as argument and store it with sighand lock held. This is an intermediate change to address this issue. The arguments to this function will be cleanup in subsequent changes.

2024-10-25timekeeping: Rework do_adjtimex() to use shadow_timekeeperAnna-Maria Behnsen
Updates of the timekeeper can be done by operating on the shadow timekeeper and afterwards copying the result into the real timekeeper. This has the advantage, that the sequence count write protected region is kept as small as possible. Convert do_adjtimex() to use this scheme and take the opportunity to use a scoped_guard() for locking. That requires to have a separate function for updating the leap state so that the update is protected by the sequence count. This also brings the timekeeper and the shadow timekeeper in sync for this state, which was not the case so far. That's not a correctness problem as the state is only used at the read sides which use the real timekeeper, but it's inconsistent nevertheless.
