commit 1366992e16bddd5e2d9a561687f367f9f802e2e4 upstream.

The addition of random_get_entropy_fallback() provides access to
whichever time source has the highest frequency, which is useful for
gathering entropy on platforms without available cycle counters. It's
not necessarily as good as being able to quickly access a cycle counter
that the CPU has, but it's still something, even when it falls back to
being jiffies-based.

In the event that a given arch does not define get_cycles(), falling
back to the get_cycles() default implementation that returns 0 is really
not the best we can do. Instead, at least calling
random_get_entropy_fallback() would be preferable, because that always
needs to return _something_, even falling back to jiffies eventually.
It's not as though random_get_entropy_fallback() is super high precision
or guaranteed to be entropic, but basically anything that's not zero all
the time is better than returning zero all the time.

Finally, since random_get_entropy_fallback() is used during extremely
early boot when randomizing freelists in mm_init(), it can be called
before timekeeping has been initialized. In that case there really is
nothing we can do; jiffies hasn't even started ticking yet. So just give
up and return 0.

<title>timekeeping: Really make sure wall_to_monotonic isn't positive</title>

<id>4e8c11b6b3f0b6a283e898344f154641eda94266</id>
<content type='text'>
Even after commit e1d7ba873555 ("time: Always make sure wall_to_monotonic
isn't positive") it is still possible to make wall_to_monotonic positive
by running the following code:

    int main(void)
    {
        struct timespec time;

        clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &amp;time);
        time.tv_nsec = 0;
        clock_settime(CLOCK_REALTIME, &amp;time);
        return 0;
    }

The reason is that the second parameter of timespec64_compare(), ts_delta,
may be unnormalized because the delta is calculated with an open coded
substraction which causes the comparison of tv_sec to yield the wrong
result:

  wall_to_monotonic = { .tv_sec = -10, .tv_nsec =  900000000 }
  ts_delta 	    = { .tv_sec =  -9, .tv_nsec = -900000000 }

That makes timespec64_compare() claim that wall_to_monotonic &lt; ts_delta,
but actually the result should be wall_to_monotonic &gt; ts_delta.

After normalization, the result of timespec64_compare() is correct because
the tv_sec comparison is not longer misleading:

  wall_to_monotonic = { .tv_sec = -10, .tv_nsec =  900000000 }
  ts_delta 	    = { .tv_sec = -10, .tv_nsec =  100000000 }

Use timespec64_sub() to ensure that ts_delta is normalized, which fixes the
issue.

<title>hrtimer: Add bases argument to clock_was_set()</title>

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.

do_adjtimex() might end up scheduling a delayed clock_was_set() via
timekeeping_advance() and then invoke clock_was_set() directly which is
pointless.

Make timekeeping_advance() return whether an invocation of clock_was_set()
is required and handle it at the call sites which allows do_adjtimex() to
issue a single direct call if required.

Resuming timekeeping is a clock-was-set event and uses the clock-was-set
notification mechanism. This is in the way of making the clock-was-set
update for hrtimers selective so unnecessary IPIs are avoided when a CPU
base does not have timers queued which are affected by the clock setting.

Distangle it by invoking hrtimer_resume() on each unfreezing CPU and invoke
the new timerfd_resume() function from timekeeping_resume() which is the
only place where this is needed.

Rename hrtimer_resume() to hrtimer_resume_local() to reflect the change.

With this the clock_was_set*() functions are not longer required to IPI all
CPUs unconditionally and can get some smarts to avoid them.

System time snapshots are not conveying information about the current
clocksource which was used, but callers like the PTP KVM guest
implementation have the requirement to evaluate the clocksource type to
select the appropriate mechanism.

Introduce a clocksource id field in struct clocksource which is by default
set to CSID_GENERIC (0). Clocksource implementations can set that field to
a value which allows to identify the clocksource.

Store the clocksource id of the current clocksource in the
system_time_snapshot so callers can evaluate which clocksource was used to
take the snapshot and act accordingly.

The struct clocksource callbacks enable() and disable() are described as a
way to allow clock sources to enter a power save mode. See commit
4614e6adafa2 ("clocksource: add enable() and disable() callbacks")

But using runtime PM from these callbacks triggers a cyclic lockdep warning when
switching clock source using change_clocksource().

   other info that might help us debug this:

   Chain exists of:
     &amp;dev-&gt;power.lock --&gt; hrtimer_bases.lock --&gt; tk_core.seq.seqcount

    Possible unsafe locking scenario:

          CPU0                    CPU1
          ----                    ----
     lock(tk_core.seq.seqcount);
                                  lock(hrtimer_bases.lock);
                                  lock(tk_core.seq.seqcount);
     lock(&amp;dev-&gt;power.lock);

    *** DEADLOCK ***

   2 locks held by migration/0/11:
    #0: ffff8000113c9278 (timekeeper_lock){-.-.}-{2:2}, at: change_clocksource+0x2c/0x160
    #1: ffff8000113c8f88 (tk_core.seq.seqcount){----}-{0:0}, at: multi_cpu_stop+0xa4/0x190

Rework change_clocksource() so it enables the new clocksource and disables
the old clocksource outside of the timekeeper_lock and seqcount write held
region. There is no requirement that these callbacks are invoked from the
lock held region.
