linux-stable.git/kernel/time, branch linux-3.4.y Linux kernel stable tree time: Prevent early expiry of hrtimers[CLOCK_REALTIME] at the leap second edge 2016-10-26T15:15:45+00:00 John Stultz john.stultz@linaro.org 2015-06-11T22:54:55+00:00 8c095d35c42284d6d8cd792c01afd7cdeba475db commit 833f32d763028c1bb371c64f457788b933773b3e upstream. Currently, leapsecond adjustments are done at tick time. As a result, the leapsecond was applied at the first timer tick *after* the leapsecond (~1-10ms late depending on HZ), rather then exactly on the second edge. This was in part historical from back when we were always tick based, but correcting this since has been avoided since it adds extra conditional checks in the gettime fastpath, which has performance overhead. However, it was recently pointed out that ABS_TIME CLOCK_REALTIME timers set for right after the leapsecond could fire a second early, since some timers may be expired before we trigger the timekeeping timer, which then applies the leapsecond. This isn't quite as bad as it sounds, since behaviorally it is similar to what is possible w/ ntpd made leapsecond adjustments done w/o using the kernel discipline. Where due to latencies, timers may fire just prior to the settimeofday call. (Also, one should note that all applications using CLOCK_REALTIME timers should always be careful, since they are prone to quirks from settimeofday() disturbances.) However, the purpose of having the kernel do the leap adjustment is to avoid such latencies, so I think this is worth fixing. So in order to properly keep those timers from firing a second early, this patch modifies the ntp and timekeeping logic so that we keep enough state so that the update_base_offsets_now accessor, which provides the hrtimer core the current time, can check and apply the leapsecond adjustment on the second edge. This prevents the hrtimer core from expiring timers too early. This patch does not modify any other time read path, so no additional overhead is incurred. However, this also means that the leap-second continues to be applied at tick time for all other read-paths. Apologies to Richard Cochran, who pushed for similar changes years ago, which I resisted due to the concerns about the performance overhead. While I suspect this isn't extremely critical, folks who care about strict leap-second correctness will likely want to watch this. Potentially a -stable candidate eventually.

commit 833f32d763028c1bb371c64f457788b933773b3e upstream.

Currently, leapsecond adjustments are done at tick time. As a result,
the leapsecond was applied at the first timer tick *after* the
leapsecond (~1-10ms late depending on HZ), rather then exactly on the
second edge.

This was in part historical from back when we were always tick based,
but correcting this since has been avoided since it adds extra
conditional checks in the gettime fastpath, which has performance
overhead.

However, it was recently pointed out that ABS_TIME CLOCK_REALTIME
timers set for right after the leapsecond could fire a second early,
since some timers may be expired before we trigger the timekeeping
timer, which then applies the leapsecond.

This isn't quite as bad as it sounds, since behaviorally it is similar
to what is possible w/ ntpd made leapsecond adjustments done w/o using
the kernel discipline. Where due to latencies, timers may fire just
prior to the settimeofday call. (Also, one should note that all
applications using CLOCK_REALTIME timers should always be careful,
since they are prone to quirks from settimeofday() disturbances.)

However, the purpose of having the kernel do the leap adjustment is to
avoid such latencies, so I think this is worth fixing.

So in order to properly keep those timers from firing a second early,
this patch modifies the ntp and timekeeping logic so that we keep
enough state so that the update_base_offsets_now accessor, which
provides the hrtimer core the current time, can check and apply the
leapsecond adjustment on the second edge. This prevents the hrtimer
core from expiring timers too early.

This patch does not modify any other time read path, so no additional
overhead is incurred. However, this also means that the leap-second
continues to be applied at tick time for all other read-paths.

Apologies to Richard Cochran, who pushed for similar changes years
ago, which I resisted due to the concerns about the performance
overhead.

While I suspect this isn't extremely critical, folks who care about
strict leap-second correctness will likely want to watch
this. Potentially a -stable candidate eventually.

ntp: Fixup adjtimex freq validation on 32-bit systems 2015-04-14T09:34:04+00:00 John Stultz john.stultz@linaro.org 2015-02-10T07:30:36+00:00 f8cce9e338db5d455e62a4b9abbbeda3d5a0e203 commit 29183a70b0b828500816bd794b3fe192fce89f73 upstream. Additional validation of adjtimex freq values to avoid potential multiplication overflows were added in commit 5e5aeb4367b (time: adjtimex: Validate the ADJ_FREQUENCY values) Unfortunately the patch used LONG_MAX/MIN instead of LLONG_MAX/MIN, which was fine on 64-bit systems, but being much smaller on 32-bit systems caused false positives resulting in most direct frequency adjustments to fail w/ EINVAL. ntpd only does direct frequency adjustments at startup, so the issue was not as easily observed there, but other time sync applications like ptpd and chrony were more effected by the bug.

commit 29183a70b0b828500816bd794b3fe192fce89f73 upstream.

Additional validation of adjtimex freq values to avoid
potential multiplication overflows were added in commit
5e5aeb4367b (time: adjtimex: Validate the ADJ_FREQUENCY values)

Unfortunately the patch used LONG_MAX/MIN instead of
LLONG_MAX/MIN, which was fine on 64-bit systems, but being
much smaller on 32-bit systems caused false positives
resulting in most direct frequency adjustments to fail w/
EINVAL.

ntpd only does direct frequency adjustments at startup, so
the issue was not as easily observed there, but other time
sync applications like ptpd and chrony were more effected by
the bug.

See bugs:

  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92481
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1188074

This patch changes the checks to use LLONG_MAX for
clarity, and additionally the checks are disabled
on 32-bit systems since LLONG_MAX/PPM_SCALE is always
larger then the 32-bit long freq value, so multiplication
overflows aren't possible there.

alarmtimer: Do not signal SIGEV_NONE timers 2014-12-01T10:02:31+00:00 Richard Larocque rlarocque@google.com 2014-09-10T01:31:04+00:00 b114657d1e55a0484bcfdb3f3b946f96bb2f80e7 commit 265b81d23a46c39df0a735a3af4238954b41a4c2 upstream. Avoids sending a signal to alarm timers created with sigev_notify set to SIGEV_NONE by checking for that special case in the timeout callback. The regular posix timers avoid sending signals to SIGEV_NONE timers by not scheduling any callbacks for them in the first place. Although it would be possible to do something similar for alarm timers, it's simpler to handle this as a special case in the timeout. Prior to this patch, the alarm timer would ignore the sigev_notify value and try to deliver signals to the process anyway. Even worse, the sanity check for the value of sigev_signo is skipped when SIGEV_NONE was specified, so the signal number could be bogus. If sigev_signo was an unitialized value (as it often would be if SIGEV_NONE is used), then it's hard to predict which signal will be sent.

commit 504d58745c9ca28d33572e2d8a9990b43e06075d upstream.

clockevents_increase_min_delta() calls printk() from under
hrtimer_bases.lock. That causes lock inversion on scheduler locks because
printk() can call into the scheduler. Lockdep puts it as:

Fix the problem by using printk_deferred() which does not call into the
scheduler.

alarmtimer: Fix bug where relative alarm timers were treated as absolute 2014-07-28T14:06:46+00:00 John Stultz john.stultz@linaro.org 2014-07-07T21:06:11+00:00 299e667e26e9e3382fa471370121b117fa8ae987 commit 16927776ae757d0d132bdbfabbfe2c498342bd59 upstream. Sharvil noticed with the posix timer_settime interface, using the CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM or CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM clockid, if the users tried to specify a relative time timer, it would incorrectly be treated as absolute regardless of the state of the flags argument. This patch corrects this, properly checking the absolute/relative flag, as well as adds further error checking that no invalid flag bits are set.

commit 16927776ae757d0d132bdbfabbfe2c498342bd59 upstream.

Sharvil noticed with the posix timer_settime interface, using the
CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM or CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM clockid, if the users
tried to specify a relative time timer, it would incorrectly be
treated as absolute regardless of the state of the flags argument.

This patch corrects this, properly checking the absolute/relative flag,
as well as adds further error checking that no invalid flag bits are set.

nohz: Fix another inconsistency between CONFIG_NO_HZ=n and nohz=off 2014-06-26T19:10:29+00:00 Thomas Gleixner tglx@linutronix.de 2013-11-29T11:18:13+00:00 3f8f4ae48f4023e1c53722b1dc1a7ab897cbca14 commit 0e576acbc1d9600cf2d9b4a141a2554639959d50 upstream. If CONFIG_NO_HZ=n tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() returns NSEC_PER_SEC/HZ. If CONFIG_NO_HZ=y and the nohz functionality is disabled via the command line option "nohz=off" or not enabled due to missing hardware support, then tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() returns 0. That happens because ts->sleep_length is never set in that case. Set it to NSEC_PER_SEC/HZ when the NOHZ mode is inactive.
