commit 0c52310f260014d95c1310364379772cb74cf82d upstream.

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-&gt;timer_slack_ns.

commit dad6a09f3148257ac1773cd90934d721d68ab595 upstream.

The hrtimers migration on CPU-down hotplug process has been moved
earlier, before the CPU actually goes to die. This leaves a small window
of opportunity to queue an hrtimer in a blind spot, leaving it ignored.

For example a practical case has been reported with RCU waking up a
SCHED_FIFO task right before the CPUHP_AP_IDLE_DEAD stage, queuing that
way a sched/rt timer to the local offline CPU.

Make sure such situations never go unnoticed and warn when that happens.

[ Upstream commit 5c0930ccaad5a74d74e8b18b648c5eb21ed2fe94 ]

2b8272ff4a70 ("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.

<title>timers: Prevent union confusion from unexpected restart_syscall()</title>

[ Upstream commit 9f76d59173d9d146e96c66886b671c1915a5c5e5 ]

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.

<title>wireguard: ratelimiter: use hrtimer in selftest</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 151c8e499f4705010780189377f85b57400ccbf5 ]

Using msleep() is problematic because it's compared against
ratelimiter.c's ktime_get_coarse_boottime_ns(), which means on systems
with slow jiffies (such as UML's forced HZ=100), the result is
inaccurate. So switch to using schedule_hrtimeout().

However, hrtimer gives us access only to the traditional posix timers,
and none of the _COARSE variants. So now, rather than being too
imprecise like jiffies, it's too precise.

One solution would be to give it a large "range" value, but this will
still fire early on a loaded system. A better solution is to align the
timeout to the actual coarse timer, and then round up to the nearest
tick, plus change.

So add the timeout to the current coarse time, and then
schedule_hrtimer() until the absolute computed time.

This should hopefully reduce flakes in CI as well. Note that we keep the
retry loop in case the entire function is running behind, because the
test could still be scheduled out, by either the kernel or by the
hypervisor's kernel, in which case restarting the test and hoping to not
be scheduled out still helps.

Since the recent consoliation of reprogramming functions,
hrtimer_force_reprogram() is affected by a check whether the new expiry
time is past the current expiry time.

This breaks the NOHZ logic as that relies on the fact that the tick hrtimer
is moved into the future. That means cpu_base-&gt;expires_next becomes stale
and subsequent reprogramming attempts fail as well until the situation is
cleaned up by an hrtimer interrupts.

For some yet unknown reason this leads to a complete stall, so for now
partially revert the offending commit to a known working state. The root
cause for the stall is still investigated and will be fixed in a subsequent
commit.

By unconditionally updating the offsets there are more indicators
whether the SMP function calls on clock_was_set() can be avoided:

  - When the offset update already happened on the remote CPU then the
    remote update attempt will yield the same seqeuence number and no
    IPI is required.

  - When the remote CPU is currently handling hrtimer_interrupt(). In
    that case the remote CPU will reevaluate the timer bases before
    reprogramming anyway, so nothing to do.

  - After updating it can be checked whether the first expiring timer in
    the affected clock bases moves before the first expiring (softirq)
    timer of the CPU. If that's not the case then sending the IPI is not
    required.

Setting of clocks triggers an unconditional SMP function call on all online
CPUs to reprogram the clock event device.

However, only some clocks have their offsets updated and therefore
potentially require a reprogram. That's CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_TAI and in
the case of resume (delayed sleep time injection) also CLOCK_BOOTTIME.

Instead of sending an IPI unconditionally, check each per CPU hrtimer base
whether it has active timers in the affected clock bases which are
indicated by the caller in the @bases argument of clock_was_set().

If that's not the case, skip the IPI and update the offsets remotely which
ensures that any subsequently armed timers on the affected clocks are
evaluated with the correct offsets.

[ tglx: Adopted to the new bases argument, removed the softirq_active
  	check, added comment, fixed up stale comment ]

clock_was_set() unconditionaly invokes retrigger_next_event() on all online
CPUs. This was necessary because that mechanism was also used for resume
from suspend to idle which is not longer the case.

The bases arguments allows the callers of clock_was_set() to hand in a mask
which tells clock_was_set() which of the hrtimer clock bases are affected
by the clock setting. This mask will be used in the next step to check
whether a CPU base has timers queued on a clock base affected by the event
and avoid the SMP function call if there are none.

Add a @bases argument, provide defines for the active bases masking and
fixup all callsites.
