Core:
 
   - Consolidation of the vDSO build infrastructure to address the
     difficulties of cross-builds for ARM64 compat vDSO libraries by
     restricting the exposure of header content to the vDSO build.
 
     This is achieved by splitting out header content into separate
     headers. which contain only the minimaly required information which is
     necessary to build the vDSO. These new headers are included from the
     kernel headers and the vDSO specific files.
 
   - Enhancements to the generic vDSO library allowing more fine grained
     control over the compiled in code, further reducing architecture
     specific storage and preparing for adopting the generic library by PPC.
 
   - Cleanup and consolidation of the exit related code in posix CPU timers.
 
   - Small cleanups and enhancements here and there
 
  Drivers:

Eric Dumazet 90c018942c timer: Use hlist_unhashed_lockless() in timer_pending()
The timer_pending() function is mostly used in lockless contexts, so
Without proper annotations, KCSAN might detect a data-race [1].

Alexander Popov 6e317c32fd timer: Improve the comment describing schedule_timeout()
When working commit 6dcd5d7a7a, a mistake was noticed by Linus:
schedule_timeout() was called without setting the task state to anything
particular.

It calls the scheduler, but doesn't delay anything, because the task stays
runnable. That happens because sched_submit_work() does nothing for tasks
in TASK_RUNNING state.

That turned out to be the intended behavior. Adding a WARN() is not useful
as the task could be woken up right after setting the state and before
reaching schedule_timeout().

Improve the comment about schedule_timeout() and describe that more
explicitly.

Li RongQing e430d802d6 timer: Read jiffies once when forwarding base clk
The timer delayed for more than 3 seconds warning was triggered during
testing.

  Workqueue: events_unbound sched_tick_remote
  RIP: 0010:sched_tick_remote+0xee/0x100
  ...
  Call Trace:
   process_one_work+0x18c/0x3a0
   worker_thread+0x30/0x380
   kthread+0x113/0x130
   ret_from_fork+0x22/0x40

The reason is that the code in collect_expired_timers() uses jiffies
unprotected:

    if (next_event > jiffies)
        base->clk = jiffies;

As the compiler is allowed to reload the value base->clk can advance
between the check and the store and in the worst case advance farther than
next event. That causes the timer expiry to be delayed until the wheel
pointer wraps around.

Convert the code to use READ_ONCE()

Anna-Maria Gleixner 030dcdd197 timers: Prepare support for PREEMPT_RT
When PREEMPT_RT is enabled, the soft interrupt thread can be preempted.  If
the soft interrupt thread is preempted in the middle of a timer callback,
then calling del_timer_sync() can lead to two issues:

  - If the caller is on a remote CPU then it has to spin wait for the timer
    handler to complete. This can result in unbound priority inversion.

  - If the caller originates from the task which preempted the timer
    handler on the same CPU, then spin waiting for the timer handler to
    complete is never going to end.

To avoid these issues, add a new lock to the timer base which is held
around the execution of the timer callbacks. If del_timer_sync() detects
that the timer callback is currently running, it blocks on the expiry
lock. When the callback is finished, the expiry lock is dropped by the
softirq thread which wakes up the waiter and the system makes progress.

This addresses both the priority inversion and the life lock issues.

This mechanism is not used for timers which are marked IRQSAFE as for those
preemption is disabled accross the callback and therefore this situation
cannot happen. The callbacks for such timers need to be individually
audited for RT compliance.

The same issue can happen in virtual machines when the vCPU which runs a
timer callback is scheduled out. If a second vCPU of the same guest calls
del_timer_sync() it will spin wait for the other vCPU to be scheduled back
in. The expiry lock mechanism would avoid that. It'd be trivial to enable
this when paravirt spinlocks are enabled in a guest, but it's not clear
whether this is an actual problem in the wild, so for now it's an RT only
mechanism.

As the softirq thread can be preempted with PREEMPT_RT=y, the SMP variant
of del_timer_sync() needs to be used on UP as well.

Anna-Maria Gleixner f28d3d5346 timer/trace: Improve timer tracing
Timers are added to the timer wheel off by one. This is required in
case a timer is queued directly before incrementing jiffies to prevent
early timer expiry.

When reading a timer trace and relying only on the expiry time of the timer
in the timer_start trace point and on the now in the timer_expiry_entry
trace point, it seems that the timer fires late. With the current
timer_expiry_entry trace point information only now=jiffies is printed but
not the value of base->clk. This makes it impossible to draw a conclusion
to the index of base->clk and makes it impossible to examine timer problems
without additional trace points.

Therefore add the base->clk value to the timer_expire_entry trace
point, to be able to calculate the index the timer base is located at
during collecting expired timers.

Anna-Maria Gleixner dc1e7dc5ac timer: Move trace point to get proper index
When placing the timer_start trace point before the timer wheel bucket
index is calculated, the index information in the trace point is useless.

It is not possible to simply move the debug_activate() call after the index
calculation, because debug_object_activate() needs to be called before
touching the object.

Therefore split debug_activate() and move the trace point into
enqueue_timer() after the new index has been calculated. The
debug_object_activate() call remains at the original place.

Paul E. McKenney c98cac603f rcu: Rename rcu_check_callbacks() to rcu_sched_clock_irq()
The name rcu_check_callbacks() arguably made sense back in the early
2000s when RCU was quite a bit simpler than it is today, but it has
become quite misleading, especially with the advent of dyntick-idle
and NO_HZ_FULL.  The rcu_check_callbacks() function is RCU's hook into
the scheduling-clock interrupt, and is now but one of many ways that
callbacks get promoted to invocable state.

This commit therefore changes the name to rcu_sched_clock_irq(),
which is the same number of characters and clearly indicates this
function's relation to the rest of the Linux kernel.  In addition, for
the sake of consistency, rcu_flavor_check_callbacks() is also renamed
to rcu_flavor_sched_clock_irq().

While in the area, the header comments for both functions are reworked.

Thomas Gleixner 35728b8209 time: Add SPDX license identifiers
Update the time(r) core files files with the correct SPDX license
identifier based on the license text in the file itself. The SPDX
identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the
full boiler plate text.

This work is based on a script and data from Philippe Ombredanne, Kate
Stewart and myself. The data has been created with two independent license
scanners and manual inspection.

The following files do not contain any direct license information and have
been omitted from the big initial SPDX changes:

  timeconst.bc: The .bc files were not touched
  time.c, timer.c, timekeeping.c: Licence was deduced from EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL

As those files do not contain direct license references they fall under the
project license, i.e. GPL V2 only.

Gaurav Kohli 363e934d88 timers: Clear timer_base::must_forward_clk with timer_base::lock held
timer_base::must_forward_clock is indicating that the base clock might be
stale due to a long idle sleep.

The forwarding of the base clock takes place in the timer softirq or when a
timer is enqueued to a base which is idle. If the enqueue of timer to an
idle base happens from a remote CPU, then the following race can happen:

  CPU0					CPU1
  run_timer_softirq			mod_timer

					base = lock_timer_base(timer);
  base->must_forward_clk = false
					if (base->must_forward_clk)
				       	    forward(base); -> skipped

					enqueue_timer(base, timer, idx);
					-> idx is calculated high due to
					   stale base
					unlock_timer_base(timer);
  base = lock_timer_base(timer);
  forward(base);

The root cause is that timer_base::must_forward_clk is cleared outside the
timer_base::lock held region, so the remote queuing CPU observes it as
cleared, but the base clock is still stale. This can cause large
granularity values for timers, i.e. the accuracy of the expiry time
suffers.

Prevent this by clearing the flag with timer_base::lock held, so that the
forwarding takes place before the cleared flag is observable by a remote
CPU.

Lingutla Chandrasekhar c52232a49e timers: Forward timer base before migrating timers
On CPU hotunplug the enqueued timers of the unplugged CPU are migrated to a
live CPU. This happens from the control thread which initiated the unplug.

If the CPU on which the control thread runs came out from a longer idle
period then the base clock of that CPU might be stale because the control
thread runs prior to any event which forwards the clock.

In such a case the timers from the unplugged CPU are queued on the live CPU
based on the stale clock which can cause large delays due to increased
granularity of the outer timer wheels which are far away from base:;clock.

But there is a worse problem than that. The following sequence of events
illustrates it:

 - CPU0 timer1 is queued expires = 59969 and base->clk = 59131.

   The timer is queued at wheel level 2, with resulting expiry time = 60032
   (due to level granularity).

 - CPU1 enters idle @60007, with next timer expiry @60020.

 - CPU0 is hotplugged at @60009

 - CPU1 exits idle and runs the control thread which migrates the
   timers from CPU0

   timer1 is now queued in level 0 for immediate handling in the next
   softirq because the requested expiry time 59969 is before CPU1 base->clk
   60007

 - CPU1 runs code which forwards the base clock which succeeds because the
   next expiring timer. which was collected at idle entry time is still set
   to 60020.

   So it forwards beyond 60007 and therefore misses to expire the migrated
   timer1. That timer gets expired when the wheel wraps around again, which
   takes between 63 and 630ms depending on the HZ setting.

Address both problems by invoking forward_timer_base() for the control CPUs
timer base. All other places, which might run into a similar problem
(mod_timer()/add_timer_on()) already invoke forward_timer_base() to avoid
that.

Anna-Maria Gleixner 14c803419d hrtimer: Unify remote enqueue handling
hrtimer_reprogram() is conditionally invoked from hrtimer_start_range_ns()
when hrtimer_cpu_base.hres_active is true.

In the !hres_active case there is a special condition for the nohz_active
case:

  If the newly enqueued timer expires before the first expiring timer on a
  remote CPU then the remote CPU needs to be notified and woken up from a
  NOHZ idle sleep to take the new first expiring timer into account.

Previous changes have already established the prerequisites to make the
remote enqueue behaviour the same whether high resolution mode is active or
not:

  If the to be enqueued timer expires before the first expiring timer on a
  remote CPU, then it cannot be enqueued there.

This was done for the high resolution mode because there is no way to
access the remote CPU timer hardware. The same is true for NOHZ, but was
handled differently by unconditionally enqueuing the timer and waking up
the remote CPU so it can reprogram its timer. Again there is no compelling
reason for this difference.

hrtimer_check_target(), which makes the 'can remote enqueue' decision is
already unconditional, but not yet functional because nothing updates
hrtimer_cpu_base.expires_next in the !hres_active case.

To unify this the following changes are required:

 1) Make the store of the new first expiry time unconditonal in
    hrtimer_reprogram() and check __hrtimer_hres_active() before proceeding
    to the actual hardware access. This check also lets the compiler
    eliminate the rest of the function in case of CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=n.

 2) Invoke hrtimer_reprogram() unconditionally from
    hrtimer_start_range_ns()

 3) Remove the remote wakeup special case for the !high_res && nohz_active
    case.

Confine the timers_nohz_active static key to timer.c which is the only user
now.

The hrtimer_cpu_base::migration_enable and ::nohz_active fields
were originally introduced to avoid accessing global variables
for these decisions.

Still that results in a (cache hot) load and conditional branch,
which can be avoided by using static keys.

Implement it with static keys and optimize for the most critical
case of high performance networking which tends to disable the
timer migration functionality.

No change in functionality.

Anna-Maria Gleixner ced6d5c11d timers: Use deferrable base independent of base::nohz_active
During boot and before base::nohz_active is set in the timer bases, deferrable
timers are enqueued into the standard timer base. This works correctly as
long as base::nohz_active is false.

Once it base::nohz_active is set and a timer which was enqueued before that
is accessed the lock selector code choses the lock of the deferred
base. This causes unlocked access to the standard base and in case the
timer is removed it does not clear the pending flag in the standard base
bitmap which causes get_next_timer_interrupt() to return bogus values.

To prevent that, the deferrable timers must be enqueued in the deferrable
base, even when base::nohz_active is not set. Those deferrable timers also
need to be expired unconditional.

David Howells b24591e2fc timers: Add a function to start/reduce a timer
Add a function, similar to mod_timer(), that will start a timer if it isn't
running and will modify it if it is running and has an expiry time longer
than the new time.  If the timer is running with an expiry time that's the
same or sooner, no change is made.

The function looks like:

	int timer_reduce(struct timer_list *timer, unsigned long expires);

This can be used by code such as networking code to make it easier to share
a timer for multiple timeouts.  For instance, in upcoming AF_RXRPC code,
the rxrpc_call struct will maintain a number of timeouts:

	unsigned long	ack_at;
	unsigned long	resend_at;
	unsigned long	ping_at;
	unsigned long	expect_rx_by;
	unsigned long	expect_req_by;
	unsigned long	expect_term_by;

each of which is set independently of the others.  With timer reduction
available, when the code needs to set one of the timeouts, it only needs to
look at that timeout and then call timer_reduce() to modify the timer,
starting it or bringing it forward if necessary.  There is no need to refer
to the other timeouts to see which is earliest and no need to take any lock
other than, potentially, the timer lock inside timer_reduce().

Note, that this does not protect against concurrent invocations of any of
the timer functions.

As an example, the expect_rx_by timeout above, which terminates a call if
we don't get a packet from the server within a certain time window, would
be set something like this:

	unsigned long now = jiffies;
	unsigned long expect_rx_by = now + packet_receive_timeout;
	WRITE_ONCE(call->expect_rx_by, expect_rx_by);
	timer_reduce(&call->timer, expect_rx_by);

The timer service code (which might, say, be in a work function) would then
check all the timeouts to see which, if any, had triggered, deal with
those:

	t = READ_ONCE(call->ack_at);
	if (time_after_eq(now, t)) {
		cmpxchg(&call->ack_at, t, now + MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET);
		set_bit(RXRPC_CALL_EV_ACK, &call->events);
	}

and then restart the timer if necessary by finding the soonest timeout that
hasn't yet passed and then calling timer_reduce().

The disadvantage of doing things this way rather than comparing the timers
each time and calling mod_timer() is that you *will* take timer events
unless you can finish what you're doing and delete the timer in time.

The advantage of doing things this way is that you don't need to use a lock
to work out when the next timer should be set, other than the timer's own
lock - which you might not have to take.

Zhenzhong Duan c310ce4dcb timers: Avoid an unnecessary iteration in __run_timers()
If the base clock is behind jiffies in the soft irq expiry code then the
next timer is retrieved by get_next_timer_interrupt() to avoid incrementing
base clock one by one. If the next timer interrupt is past current jiffies
then the base clock is set to jiffies - 1. At the call site this is
incremented and another iteration through the expiry loop is executed which
checks empty hash buckets.

That's a pointless excercise because it's already known that the next timer
is past jiffies.

Set the base clock in that case to jiffies directly so it gets incremented
to jiffies + 1 at the call site resulting in immediate termination of the
expiry loop.

Nicholas Piggin 2fe59f507a timers: Fix excessive granularity of new timers after a nohz idle
When a timer base is idle, it is forwarded when a new timer is added
to ensure that granularity does not become excessive. When not idle,
the timer tick is expected to increment the base.

However there are several problems:

- If an existing timer is modified, the base is forwarded only after
  the index is calculated.

- The base is not forwarded by add_timer_on.

- There is a window after a timer is restarted from a nohz idle, after
  it is marked not-idle and before the timer tick on this CPU, where a
  timer may be added but the ancient base does not get forwarded.

These result in excessive granularity (a 1 jiffy timeout can blow out
to 100s of jiffies), which cause the rcu lockup detector to trigger,
among other things.

Fix this by keeping track of whether the timer base has been idle
since it was last run or forwarded, and if so then forward it before
adding a new timer.

There is still a case where mod_timer optimises the case of a pending
timer mod with the same expiry time, where the timer can see excessive
granularity relative to the new, shorter interval. A comment is added,
but it's not changed because it is an important fastpath for
networking.

This has been tested and found to fix the RCU softlockup messages.

Testing was also done with tracing to measure requested versus
achieved wakeup latencies for all non-deferrable timers in an idle
system (with no lockup watchdogs running). Wakeup latency relative to
absolute latency is calculated (note this suffers from round-up skew
at low absolute times) and analysed:

             max     avg      std
upstream   506.0    1.20     4.68
patched      2.0    1.08     0.15

The bug was noticed due to the lockup detector Kconfig changes
dropping it out of people's .configs and resulting in larger base
clk skew When the lockup detectors are enabled, no CPU can go idle for
longer than 4 seconds, which limits the granularity errors.
Sub-optimal timer behaviour is observable on a smaller scale in that
case:

	     max     avg      std
upstream     9.0    1.05     0.19
patched      2.0    1.04     0.11

Sebastian Andrzej Siewior 2287d8664f timers: Make the cpu base lock raw
The timers cpu base lock could not be converted to a raw spinlock becaue
the lock held time was non-deterministic due to cascading and long lasting
timer wheel traversals.

The rework of the timer wheel to the new non-cascading model removed also
the wheel traversals and the lock held times are deterministic now. This
allows to make the lock raw and thereby unbreaks NOHz* on preempt-RT.

Kees Cook dfb4357da6 time: Remove CONFIG_TIMER_STATS

kernel/time/timer_list.c print_timer():

        SEQ_printf(m, ", %s/%d", tmp, timer->start_pid);

/proc/timer_list:

 #11: <0000000000000000>, hrtimer_wakeup, S:01, do_nanosleep, cron/2570

Given that the tracer can give the same information, this patch entirely
removes CONFIG_TIMER_STATS.

Nicolas Pitre baa73d9e47 posix-timers: Make them configurable
Some embedded systems have no use for them.  This removes about
25KB from the kernel binary size when configured out.

Corresponding syscalls are routed to a stub logging the attempt to
use those syscalls which should be enough of a clue if they were
disabled without proper consideration. They are: timer_create,
timer_gettime: timer_getoverrun, timer_settime, timer_delete,
clock_adjtime, setitimer, getitimer, alarm.

The clock_settime, clock_gettime, clock_getres and clock_nanosleep
syscalls are replaced by simple wrappers compatible with CLOCK_REALTIME,
CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_BOOTTIME only which should cover the vast
majority of use cases with very little code.

Douglas Anderson 4b7e9cf9c8 timers: Fix documentation for schedule_timeout() and similar
The documentation for schedule_timeout(), schedule_hrtimeout(), and
schedule_hrtimeout_range() all claim that the routines couldn't possibly
return early if the task state was TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE. This is simply
not true since wake_up_process() will cause those routines to exit early.

We cannot make schedule_[hr]timeout() loop until the timeout expires if the
task state is uninterruptible because we have users which rely on the
existing and designed behaviour.

Make the documentation match the (correct) implementation.

schedule_hrtimeout() returns -EINTR even when a uninterruptible task was
woken up. This might look strange, but making the return code depend on the
state is too much of an effort as it would affect all the call sites. There
is no value in doing so, but we spell it out clearly in the documentation.

Douglas Anderson 6c5e905969 timers: Fix usleep_range() in the context of wake_up_process()
Users of usleep_range() expect that it will _never_ return in less time
than the minimum passed parameter. However, nothing in the code ensures
this, when the sleeping task is woken by wake_up_process() or any other
mechanism which can wake a task from uninterruptible state.

Neither usleep_range() nor schedule_hrtimeout_range*() have any protection
against wakeups. schedule_hrtimeout_range*() is designed this way despite
the fact that the API documentation does not mention it.

msleep() already has code to handle this case since it will loop as long
as there was still time left.  usleep_range() has no such loop, add it.

Presumably this problem was not detected before because usleep_range() is
only used in a few places and the function is mostly used in contexts which
are not exposed to wakeups of any form.

An effort was made to look for users relying on the old behavior by
looking for usleep_range() in the same file as wake_up_process().
No problems were found by this search, though it is conceivable that
someone could have put the sleep and wakeup in two different files.

An effort was made to ask several upstream maintainers if they were aware
of people relying on wake_up_process() to wake up usleep_range(). No
maintainers were aware of that but they were aware of many people relying
on usleep_range() never returning before the minimum.

Thomas Gleixner 6bad6bccf2 timers: Prevent base clock corruption when forwarding
When a timer is enqueued we try to forward the timer base clock. This
mechanism has two issues:

1) Forwarding a remote base unlocked

The forwarding function is called from get_target_base() with the current
timer base lock held. But if the new target base is a different base than
the current base (can happen with NOHZ, sigh!) then the forwarding is done
on an unlocked base. This can lead to corruption of base->clk.

Solution is simple: Invoke the forwarding after the target base is locked.

2) Possible corruption due to jiffies advancing

This is similar to the issue in get_net_timer_interrupt() which was fixed
in the previous patch. jiffies can advance between check and assignement
and therefore advancing base->clk beyond the next expiry value.

So we need to read jiffies into a local variable once and do the checks and
assignment with the local copy.
