[ Upstream commit b71f9804f66c2592d4c3a2397b7374a4039005a5 ]

Lei Chen raised an issue with CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE seeing time
inconsistencies. Lei tracked down that this was being caused by the
adjustment:

    tk->tkr_mono.xtime_nsec -= offset;

which is made to compensate for the unaccumulated cycles in offset when the
multiplicator is adjusted forward, so that the non-_COARSE clockids don't
see inconsistencies.

However, the _COARSE clockid getter functions use the adjusted xtime_nsec
value directly and do not compensate the negative offset via the
clocksource delta multiplied with the new multiplicator. In that case the
caller can observe time going backwards in consecutive calls.

By design, this negative adjustment should be fine, because the logic run
from timekeeping_adjust() is done after it accumulated approximately

     multiplicator * interval_cycles

into xtime_nsec.  The accumulated value is always larger then the

     mult_adj * offset

value, which is subtracted from xtime_nsec. Both operations are done
together under the tk_core.lock, so the net change to xtime_nsec is always
always be positive.

However, do_adjtimex() calls into timekeeping_advance() as well, to
apply the NTP frequency adjustment immediately. In this case,
timekeeping_advance() does not return early when the offset is smaller
then interval_cycles. In that case there is no time accumulated into
xtime_nsec. But the subsequent call into timekeeping_adjust(), which
modifies the multiplicator, subtracts from xtime_nsec to correct for the
new multiplicator.

Here because there was no accumulation, xtime_nsec becomes smaller than
before, which opens a window up to the next accumulation, where the
_COARSE clockid getters, which don't compensate for the offset, can
observe the inconsistency.

This has been tried to be fixed by forwarding the timekeeper in the case
that adjtimex() adjusts the multiplier, which resets the offset to zero:

  757b000f7b93 ("timekeeping: Fix possible inconsistencies in _COARSE clockids")

That works correctly, but unfortunately causes a regression on the
adjtimex() side. There are two issues:

   1) The forwarding of the base time moves the update out of the original
      period and establishes a new one.

   2) The clearing of the accumulated NTP error is changing the behaviour as
      well.

User-space expects that multiplier/frequency updates are in effect, when the
syscall returns, so delaying the update to the next tick is not solving the
problem either.

Commit 757b000f7b93 was reverted so that the established expectations of
user space implementations (ntpd, chronyd) are restored, but that obviously
brought the inconsistencies back.

One of the initial approaches to fix this was to establish a separate
storage for the coarse time getter nanoseconds part by calculating it from
the offset. That was dropped on the floor because not having yet another
state to maintain was simpler. But given the result of the above exercise,
this solution turns out to be the right one. Bring it back in a slightly
modified form.

Thus introduce timekeeper::coarse_nsec and store that nanoseconds part in
it, switch the time getter functions and the VDSO update to use that value.
coarse_nsec is set on operations which forward or initialize the timekeeper
and after time was accumulated during a tick. If there is no accumulation
the timestamp is unchanged.

This leaves the adjtimex() behaviour unmodified and prevents coarse time
from going backwards.

  	   coarse clockids aren't adjusted on each inter-tick adjtimex
  	   call, slightly reworked the comments and commit message ]

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A rather large update for timekeeping and timers:

   - The final step to get rid of auto-rearming posix-timers

     posix-timers are currently auto-rearmed by the kernel when the
     signal of the timer is ignored so that the timer signal can be
     delivered once the corresponding signal is unignored.

     This requires to throttle the timer to prevent a DoS by small
     intervals and keeps the system pointlessly out of low power states
     for no value. This is a long standing non-trivial problem due to
     the lock order of posix-timer lock and the sighand lock along with
     life time issues as the timer and the sigqueue have different life
     time rules.

     Cure this by:

       - Embedding the sigqueue into the timer struct to have the same
         life time rules. Aside of that this also avoids the lookup of
         the timer in the signal delivery and rearm path as it's just a
         always valid container_of() now.

       - Queuing ignored timer signals onto a seperate ignored list.

       - Moving queued timer signals onto the ignored list when the
         signal is switched to SIG_IGN before it could be delivered.

       - Walking the ignored list when SIG_IGN is lifted and requeue the
         signals to the actual signal lists. This allows the signal
         delivery code to rearm the timer.

     This also required to consolidate the signal delivery rules so they
     are consistent across all situations. With that all self test
     scenarios finally succeed.

   - Core infrastructure for VFS multigrain timestamping

     This is required to allow the kernel to use coarse grained time
     stamps by default and switch to fine grained time stamps when inode
     attributes are actively observed via getattr().

     These changes have been provided to the VFS tree as well, so that
     the VFS specific infrastructure could be built on top.

   - Cleanup and consolidation of the sleep() infrastructure

       - Move all sleep and timeout functions into one file

       - Rework udelay() and ndelay() into proper documented inline
         functions and replace the hardcoded magic numbers by proper
         defines.

       - Rework the fsleep() implementation to take the reality of the
         timer wheel granularity on different HZ values into account.
         Right now the boundaries are hard coded time ranges which fail
         to provide the requested accuracy on different HZ settings.

       - Update documentation for all sleep/timeout related functions
         and fix up stale documentation links all over the place

       - Fixup a few usage sites

   - Rework of timekeeping and adjtimex(2) to prepare for multiple PTP
     clocks

     A system can have multiple PTP clocks which are participating in
     seperate and independent PTP clock domains. So far the kernel only
     considers the PTP clock which is based on CLOCK TAI relevant as
     that's the clock which drives the timekeeping adjustments via the
     various user space daemons through adjtimex(2).

     The non TAI based clock domains are accessible via the file
     descriptor based posix clocks, but their usability is very limited.
     They can't be accessed fast as they always go all the way out to
     the hardware and they cannot be utilized in the kernel itself.

     As Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) gains traction it is required to
     provide fast user and kernel space access to these clocks.

     The approach taken is to utilize the timekeeping and adjtimex(2)
     infrastructure to provide this access in a similar way how the
     kernel provides access to clock MONOTONIC, REALTIME etc.

     Instead of creating a duplicated infrastructure this rework
     converts timekeeping and adjtimex(2) into generic functionality
     which operates on pointers to data structures instead of using
     static variables.

     This allows to provide time accessors and adjtimex(2) functionality
     for the independent PTP clocks in a subsequent step.

   - Consolidate hrtimer initialization

     hrtimers are set up by initializing the data structure and then
     seperately setting the callback function for historical reasons.

     That's an extra unnecessary step and makes Rust support less
     straight forward than it should be.

     Provide a new set of hrtimer_setup*() functions and convert the
     core code and a few usage sites of the less frequently used
     interfaces over.

     The bulk of the htimer_init() to hrtimer_setup() conversion is
     already prepared and scheduled for the next merge window.

   - Drivers:

       - Ensure that the global timekeeping clocksource is utilizing the
         cluster 0 timer on MIPS multi-cluster systems.

         Otherwise CPUs on different clusters use their cluster specific
         clocksource which is not guaranteed to be synchronized with
         other clusters.

       - Mostly boring cleanups, fixes, improvements and code movement"

lib/vdso: Avoid highres update if clocksource is not VDSO capable 2020-02-17T19:12:17+00:00 Thomas Gleixner tglx@linutronix.de 2020-02-07T12:39:00+00:00 c7a18100bdffdff440c7291db6e80863fab0461e If the current clocksource is not VDSO capable there is no point in updating the high resolution parts of the VDSO data. Replace the architecture specific check with a check for a VDSO capable clocksource and skip the update if there is none.

clocksource: Add common vdso clock mode storage 2020-02-17T13:40:23+00:00 Thomas Gleixner tglx@linutronix.de 2020-02-07T12:38:55+00:00 5d51bee725cc1497352d6b0b604e42a90c680540 All architectures which use the generic VDSO code have their own storage for the VDSO clock mode.
