[ Upstream commit facd40aa5c4699f94014012e4e58414c082f2c01 ]

When reading group-&gt;parent without holding the group lock it is racy
against CPUs coming online the first time and thereby creating another
level of the hierarchy. This is not a problem when this value is read once
to decide whether to abort a propagation or not. The worst outcome is an
unnecessary/early CPU wake up. But it is racy when reading it several times
during a single 'action' (like activation, deactivation, checking for
remote timer expiry,...) and relying on the consitency of this value
without holding the lock. This happens at the moment e.g. in
tmigr_inactive_up() which is also calling tmigr_udpate_events(). Code relys
on group-&gt;parent not to change during this 'action'.

Update parent struct member description to explain the above only
once. Remove parent pointer checks when they are not mandatory (like update
of data-&gt;childmask). Remove a warning, which would be nice but the trigger
of this warning is not reliable and add expand the data structure member
description instead. Expand a comment, why it is safe to rely on parent
pointer here (inside hierarchy update).

<title>tick/broadcast: Make takeover of broadcast hrtimer reliable</title>

commit f7d43dd206e7e18c182f200e67a8db8c209907fa upstream.

Running the LTP hotplug stress test on a aarch64 machine results in
rcu_sched stall warnings when the broadcast hrtimer was owned by the
un-plugged CPU. The issue is the following:

CPU1 (owns the broadcast hrtimer)	CPU2

				tick_broadcast_enter()
				  // shutdown local timer device
				  broadcast_shutdown_local()
				...
				tick_broadcast_exit()
				  clockevents_switch_state(dev, CLOCK_EVT_STATE_ONESHOT)
				  // timer device is not programmed
				  cpumask_set_cpu(cpu, tick_broadcast_force_mask)

				initiates offlining of CPU1
take_cpu_down()
/*
 * CPU1 shuts down and does not
 * send broadcast IPI anymore
 */
				takedown_cpu()
				  hotplug_cpu__broadcast_tick_pull()
				    // move broadcast hrtimer to this CPU
				    clockevents_program_event()
				      bc_set_next()
					hrtimer_start()
					/*
					 * timer device is not programmed
					 * because only the first expiring
					 * timer will trigger clockevent
					 * device reprogramming
					 */

What happens is that CPU2 exits broadcast mode with force bit set, then the
local timer device is not reprogrammed and CPU2 expects to receive the
expired event by the broadcast IPI. But this does not happen because CPU1
is offlined by CPU2. CPU switches the clockevent device to ONESHOT state,
but does not reprogram the device.

The subsequent reprogramming of the hrtimer broadcast device does not
program the clockevent device of CPU2 either because the pending expiry
time is already in the past and the CPU expects the event to be delivered.
As a consequence all CPUs which wait for a broadcast event to be delivered
are stuck forever.

Fix this issue by reprogramming the local timer device if the broadcast
force bit of the CPU is set so that the broadcast hrtimer is delivered.

The hrtimer function callback must not be NULL. It has to be specified by
the call side but it is not validated by the hrtimer code. When a hrtimer
is queued without a function callback, the kernel crashes with a null
pointer dereference when trying to execute the callback in __run_hrtimer().

Introduce a validation before queuing the hrtimer in
hrtimer_start_range_ns().

<title>tick/nohz_full: Don't abuse smp_call_function_single() in tick_setup_device()</title>

After the recent commit 5097cbcb38e6 ("sched/isolation: Prevent boot crash
when the boot CPU is nohz_full") the kernel no longer crashes, but there is
another problem.

In this case tick_setup_device() calls tick_take_do_timer_from_boot() to
update tick_do_timer_cpu and this triggers the WARN_ON_ONCE(irqs_disabled)
in smp_call_function_single().

Kill tick_take_do_timer_from_boot() and just use WRITE_ONCE(), the new
comment explains why this is safe (thanks Thomas!).

Pull sysctl updates from Joel Granados:

 - Remove sentinel elements from ctl_table structs in kernel/*

   Removing sentinels in ctl_table arrays reduces the build time size
   and runtime memory consumed by ~64 bytes per array. Removals for
   net/, io_uring/, mm/, ipc/ and security/ are set to go into mainline
   through their respective subsystems making the next release the most
   likely place where the final series that removes the check for
   proc_name == NULL will land.

   This adds to removals already in arch/, drivers/ and fs/.

 - Adjust ctl_table definitions and references to allow constification
     - Remove unused ctl_table function arguments
     - Move non-const elements from ctl_table to ctl_table_header
     - Make ctl_table pointers const in ctl_table_root structure

   Making the static ctl_table structs const will increase safety by
   keeping the pointers to proc_handler functions in .rodata. Though no
   ctl_tables where made const in this PR, the ground work for making
   that possible has started with these changes sent by Thomas
   Weißschuh.

Pull timers and timekeeping updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Core code:

   - Make timekeeping and VDSO time readouts resilent against math
     overflow:

     In guest context the kernel is prone to math overflow when the host
     defers the timer interrupt due to overload, malfunction or malice.

     This can be mitigated by checking the clocksource delta for the
     maximum deferrement which is readily available. If that value is
     exceeded then the code uses a slowpath function which can handle
     the multiplication overflow.

     This functionality is enabled unconditionally in the kernel, but
     made conditional in the VDSO code. The latter is conditional
     because it allows architectures to optimize the check so it is not
     causing performance regressions.

     On X86 this is achieved by reworking the existing check for
     negative TSC deltas as a negative delta obviously exceeds the
     maximum deferrement when it is evaluated as an unsigned value. That
     avoids two conditionals in the hotpath and allows to hide both the
     negative delta and the large delta handling in the same slow path.

   - Add an initial minimal ktime_t abstraction for Rust

   - The usual boring cleanups and enhancements

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Add cpufreq pressure feedback for the scheduler

 - Rework misfit load-balancing wrt affinity restrictions

 - Clean up and simplify the code around ::overutilized and
   ::overload access.

 - Simplify sched_balance_newidle()

 - Bump SCHEDSTAT_VERSION to 16 due to a cleanup of CPU_MAX_IDLE_TYPES
   handling that changed the output.

 - Rework &amp; clean up &lt;asm/vtime.h&gt; interactions wrt arch_vtime_task_switch()

 - Reorganize, clean up and unify most of the higher level
   scheduler balancing function names around the sched_balance_*()
   prefix

 - Simplify the balancing flag code (sched_balance_running)

 - Miscellaneous cleanups &amp; fixes

<title>timers/migration: Prevent out of bounds access on failure</title>

When tmigr_setup_groups() fails the level 0 group allocation, then the
cleanup derefences index -1 of the local stack array.

Prevent this by checking the loop condition first.

When doing

  make menuconfig

and searching for the CLOCKSOURCE_WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW_US config item, the
help says:

  │ Symbol: CLOCKSOURCE_WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW_US [=125]
  │ Type  : integer
  │ Range : [50 1000]
  │ Defined at kernel/time/Kconfig:204
  │   Prompt: Clocksource watchdog maximum allowable skew (in   s)
  							      ^^^

  │   Depends on: GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS [=y] &amp;&amp; CLOCKSOURCE_WATCHDOG [=y]

because on some terminals, it cannot display the 'μ' char, unicode
number 0x3bc.

So simply write it out so that there's no trouble.

<title>timekeeping: Remove the now superfluous sentinel elements from ctl_table array</title>

<content type='text'>
This commit comes at the tail end of a greater effort to remove the
empty elements at the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) which
will reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time
memory bloat by ~64 bytes per sentinel (further information Link :
https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZO5Yx5JFogGi%2FcBo@bombadil.infradead.org/)

Remove sentinel element from time_sysctl
