Stephen Boyd 317f29c14d timers: Provide a better debugobjects hint for delayed works
With debugobjects enabled the timer hint for freeing of active timers
embedded inside delayed works is always the same, i.e. the hint is
delayed_work_timer_fn, even though the function the delayed work is going
to run can be wildly different depending on what work was queued.  Enabling
workqueue debugobjects doesn't help either because the delayed work isn't
considered active until it is actually queued to run on a workqueue. If the
work is freed while the timer is pending the work isn't considered active
so there is no information from workqueue debugobjects.

Special case delayed works in the timer debugobjects hint logic so that the
delayed work function is returned instead of the delayed_work_timer_fn.
This will help to understand which delayed work was pending that got
freed.

Apply the same treatment for kthread_delayed_work because it follows the
same pattern.

Maciej W. Rozycki f4b62e1e11 time/sched_clock: Fix formatting of frequency reporting code
Use flat rather than nested indentation for chained else/if clauses as 
per coding-style.rst:

	if (x == y) {
		..
	} else if (x > y) {
		...
	} else {
		....
	}

This also improves readability.

Maciej W. Rozycki cc1b923a4e time/sched_clock: Use Hz as the unit for clock rate reporting below 4kHz
The kernel uses kHz as the unit for clock rates reported between 1MHz
(inclusive) and 4MHz (exclusive), e.g.:

 sched_clock: 64 bits at 1000kHz, resolution 1000ns, wraps every 2199023255500ns

This reduces the amount of data lost due to rounding, but hasn't been
replicated for the kHz range when support was added for proper reporting of
sub-kHz clock rates.  Take the same approach for rates between 1kHz
(inclusive) and 4kHz (exclusive), which makes it consistent.

Maciej W. Rozycki 92067440f1 time/sched_clock: Round the frequency reported to nearest rather than down
The frequency reported for clock sources are rounded down, which gives
misleading figures, e.g.:

 I/O ASIC clock frequency 24999480Hz
 sched_clock: 32 bits at 24MHz, resolution 40ns, wraps every 85901132779ns
 MIPS counter frequency 59998512Hz
 sched_clock: 32 bits at 59MHz, resolution 16ns, wraps every 35792281591ns

Rounding to nearest is more adequate:

 I/O ASIC clock frequency 24999664Hz
 sched_clock: 32 bits at 25MHz, resolution 40ns, wraps every 85900499947ns
 MIPS counter frequency 59999728Hz

Nicholas Piggin 62c1256d54 timers/nohz: Switch to ONESHOT_STOPPED in the low-res handler when the tick is stopped
When tick_nohz_stop_tick() stops the tick and high resolution timers are
disabled, then the clock event device is not put into ONESHOT_STOPPED
mode. This can lead to spurious timer interrupts with some clock event
device drivers that don't shut down entirely after firing.

Eliminate these by putting the device into ONESHOT_STOPPED mode at points
where it is not being reprogrammed. When there are no timers active, then
tick_program_event() with KTIME_MAX can be used to stop the device. When
there is a timer active, the device can be stopped at the next tick (any
new timer added by timers will reprogram the tick).

Merge tag 'tai-for-tracing' into timers/core

Kurt Kanzenbach 3dc6ffae2d timekeeping: Introduce fast accessor to clock tai
Introduce fast/NMI safe accessor to clock tai for tracing. The Linux kernel
tracing infrastructure has support for using different clocks to generate
timestamps for trace events. Especially in TSN networks it's useful to have TAI
as trace clock, because the application scheduling is done in accordance to the
network time, which is based on TAI. With a tai trace_clock in place, it becomes
very convenient to correlate network activity with Linux kernel application
traces.

Use the same implementation as ktime_get_boot_fast_ns() does by reading the
monotonic time and adding the TAI offset. The same limitations as for the fast
boot implementation apply. The TAI offset may change at run time e.g., by
setting the time or using adjtimex() with an offset. However, these kind of
offset changes are rare events. Nevertheless, the user has to be aware and deal
with it in post processing.

An alternative approach would be to use the same implementation as
ktime_get_real_fast_ns() does. However, this requires to add an additional u64
member to the tk_read_base struct. This struct together with a seqcount is
designed to fit into a single cache line on 64 bit architectures. Adding a new
member would violate this constraint.

Yury Norov 8afbcaf869 clocksource: Replace cpumask_weight() with cpumask_empty()
clocksource_verify_percpu() calls cpumask_weight() to check if any bit of a
given cpumask is set.

This can be done more efficiently with cpumask_empty() because
cpumask_empty() stops traversing the cpumask as soon as it finds first set
bit, while cpumask_weight() counts all bits unconditionally.

The level granularity round up of calc_index() does:

   (x + (1 << n)) >> n

which is obviously equivalent to

   (x >> n) + 1

but compilers can't figure that out despite the fact that the input range
is known to not cause an overflow. It's neither intuitive to read.

Just write out the obvious.

bringup in HOTPLUG_CPU and is accidently true and no timer is queued in the
meantime, the loop through the wheel to find __next_timer_interrupt() might

Linus Torvalds 1930a6e739 ptrace: Cleanups for v5.18
This set of changes removes tracehook.h, moves modification of all of
 the ptrace fields inside of siglock to remove races, adds a missing
 permission check to ptrace.c
 
 The removal of tracehook.h is quite significant as it has been a major
 source of confusion in recent years.  Much of that confusion was
 around task_work and TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL (which I have now decoupled
 making the semantics clearer).
 
 For people who don't know tracehook.h is a vestiage of an attempt to
 implement uprobes like functionality that was never fully merged, and
 was later superseeded by uprobes when uprobes was merged.  For many
 years now we have been removing what tracehook functionaly a little
 bit at a time.  To the point where now anything left in tracehook.h is
 some weird strange thing that is difficult to understand.
 
 Eric W. Biederman (15):
       ptrace: Move ptrace_report_syscall into ptrace.h
       ptrace/arm: Rename tracehook_report_syscall report_syscall
       ptrace: Create ptrace_report_syscall_{entry,exit} in ptrace.h
       ptrace: Remove arch_syscall_{enter,exit}_tracehook
       ptrace: Remove tracehook_signal_handler
       task_work: Remove unnecessary include from posix_timers.h
       task_work: Introduce task_work_pending
       task_work: Call tracehook_notify_signal from get_signal on all architectures
       task_work: Decouple TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL and task_work
       signal: Move set_notify_signal and clear_notify_signal into sched/signal.h
       resume_user_mode: Remove #ifdef TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME in set_notify_resume
       resume_user_mode: Move to resume_user_mode.h
       tracehook: Remove tracehook.h
       ptrace: Move setting/clearing ptrace_message into ptrace_stop
       ptrace: Return the signal to continue with from ptrace_stop

Pull ptrace cleanups from Eric Biederman:
 "This set of changes removes tracehook.h, moves modification of all of
  the ptrace fields inside of siglock to remove races, adds a missing
  permission check to ptrace.c

  The removal of tracehook.h is quite significant as it has been a major
  source of confusion in recent years. Much of that confusion was around
  task_work and TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL (which I have now decoupled making the
  semantics clearer).

  For people who don't know tracehook.h is a vestiage of an attempt to
  implement uprobes like functionality that was never fully merged, and
  was later superseeded by uprobes when uprobes was merged. For many
  years now we have been removing what tracehook functionaly a little
  bit at a time. To the point where anything left in tracehook.h was
  some weird strange thing that was difficult to understand"

Linus Torvalds cd4699c5fd prlimit and set/getpriority tasklist_lock optimizations
The tasklist_lock popped up as a scalability bottleneck on some testing
 workloads.  The readlocks in do_prlimit and set/getpriority are not
 necessary in all cases.
 
 Based on a cycles profile, it looked like ~87% of the time was spent in
 the kernel, ~42% of which was just trying to get *some* spinlock
 (queued_spin_lock_slowpath, not necessarily the tasklist_lock).
 
 The big offenders (with rough percentages in cycles of the overall trace):
 
 - do_wait 11%
 - setpriority 8% (this patchset)
 - kill 8%
 - do_exit 5%
 - clone 3%
 - prlimit64 2%   (this patchset)
 - getrlimit 1%   (this patchset)
 
 I can't easily test this patchset on the original workload for various
 reasons.  Instead, I used the microbenchmark below to at least verify
 there was some improvement.  This patchset had a 28% speedup (12% from
 baseline to set/getprio, then another 14% for prlimit).
 
 One interesting thing is that my libc's getrlimit() was calling
 prlimit64, so hoisting the read_lock(tasklist_lock) into sys_prlimit64
 had no effect - it essentially optimized the older syscalls only.  I
 didn't do that in this patchset, but figured I'd mention it since it was
 an option from the previous patch's discussion.

Barret Rhoden 18c91bb2d8 prlimit: do not grab the tasklist_lock
Unnecessarily grabbing the tasklist_lock can be a scalability bottleneck
for workloads that also must grab the tasklist_lock for waiting,
killing, and cloning.

The tasklist_lock was grabbed to protect tsk->sighand from disappearing
(becoming NULL).  tsk->signal was already protected by holding a
reference to tsk.

update_rlimit_cpu() assumed tsk->sighand != NULL.  With this commit, it
attempts to lock_task_sighand().  However, this means that
update_rlimit_cpu() can fail.  This only happens when a task is exiting.
Note that during exec, sighand may *change*, but it will not be NULL.

Prior to this commit, the do_prlimit() ensured that update_rlimit_cpu()
would not fail by read locking the tasklist_lock and checking tsk->sighand
!= NULL.

If update_rlimit_cpu() fails, there may be other tasks that are not
exiting that share tsk->signal.  However, the group_leader is the last
task to be released, so if we cannot update_rlimit_cpu(group_leader),
then the entire process is exiting.

The only other caller of update_rlimit_cpu() is
selinux_bprm_committing_creds().  It has tsk == current, so
update_rlimit_cpu() cannot fail (current->sighand cannot disappear
until current exits).

This change resulted in a 14% speedup on a microbenchmark where parents
kill and wait on their children, and children getpriority, setpriority,
and getrlimit.

Frederic Weisbecker 0345691b24 tick/rcu: Stop allowing RCU_SOFTIRQ in idle
RCU_SOFTIRQ used to be special in that it could be raised on purpose
within the idle path to prevent from stopping the tick. Some code still
prevents from unnecessary warnings related to this specific behaviour
while entering in dynticks-idle mode.

However the nohz layout has changed quite a bit in ten years, and the
removal of CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ has been the final straw to this
safe-conduct. Now the RCU_SOFTIRQ vector is expected to be raised from
sane places.

A remaining corner case is admitted though when the vector is invoked
in fragile hotplug path.

Frederic Weisbecker a1ff03cd6f tick: Detect and fix jiffies update stall
On some rare cases, the timekeeper CPU may be delaying its jiffies
update duty for a while. Known causes include:

* The timekeeper is waiting on stop_machine in a MULTI_STOP_DISABLE_IRQ
  or MULTI_STOP_RUN state. Disabled interrupts prevent from timekeeping
  updates while waiting for the target CPU to complete its
  stop_machine() callback.

* The timekeeper vcpu has VMEXIT'ed for a long while due to some overload

Thomas Gleixner 35e13e9da9 Merge branch 'clocksource' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu into timers/core
Pull clocksource watchdog updates from Paul McKenney:

 - Avoid accidental unstable marking of clocksources by rejecting
   clocksource measurements where the source of the skew is the delay
   reading reference clocksource itself.  This change avoids many of the
   current false positives caused by epic cache-thrashing workloads.

 - Reduce the default clocksource_watchdog() retries to 2, thus offsetting
   the increased overhead due to #1 above rereading the reference
   clocksource.

Yu Liao 4e8c11b6b3 timekeeping: Really make sure wall_to_monotonic isn't positive
Even after commit e1d7ba8735 ("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, &time);
        time.tv_nsec = 0;
        clock_settime(CLOCK_REALTIME, &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 < ts_delta,
but actually the result should be wall_to_monotonic > 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.

SeongJae Park e4779015fd timers: implement usleep_idle_range()
Patch series "mm/damon: Fix fake /proc/loadavg reports", v3.

This patchset fixes DAMON's fake load report issue.  The first patch
makes yet another variant of usleep_range() for this fix, and the second
patch fixes the issue of DAMON by making it using the newly introduced
function.

This patch (of 2):

Some kernel threads such as DAMON could need to repeatedly sleep in
micro seconds level.  Because usleep_range() sleeps in uninterruptible
state, however, such threads would make /proc/loadavg reports fake load.

To help such cases, this commit implements a variant of usleep_range()
called usleep_idle_range().  It is same to usleep_range() but sets the
state of the current task as TASK_IDLE while sleeping.

Frederic Weisbecker 53e87e3cdc timers/nohz: Last resort update jiffies on nohz_full IRQ entry
When at least one CPU runs in nohz_full mode, a dedicated timekeeper CPU
is guaranteed to stay online and to never stop its tick.

Meanwhile on some rare case, the dedicated timekeeper may be running
with interrupts disabled for a while, such as in stop_machine.

If jiffies stop being updated, a nohz_full CPU may end up endlessly
programming the next tick in the past, taking the last jiffies update
monotonic timestamp as a stale base, resulting in an tick storm.

Here is a scenario where it matters:

0) CPU 0 is the timekeeper and CPU 1 a nohz_full CPU.

1) A stop machine callback is queued to execute somewhere.

2) CPU 0 reaches MULTI_STOP_DISABLE_IRQ while CPU 1 is still in
   MULTI_STOP_PREPARE. Hence CPU 0 can't do its timekeeping duty. CPU 1
   can still take IRQs.

3) CPU 1 receives an IRQ which queues a timer callback one jiffy forward.

4) On IRQ exit, CPU 1 schedules the tick one jiffy forward, taking
   last_jiffies_update as a base. But last_jiffies_update hasn't been
   updated for 2 jiffies since the timekeeper has interrupts disabled.

5) clockevents_program_event(), which relies on ktime_get(), observes
   that the expiration is in the past and therefore programs the min
   delta event on the clock.

6) The tick fires immediately, goto 3)

7) Tick storm, the nohz_full CPU is drown and takes ages to reach
   MULTI_STOP_DISABLE_IRQ, which is the only way out of this situation.

Solve this with unconditionally updating jiffies if the value is stale
on nohz_full IRQ entry. IRQs and other disturbances are expected to be
rare enough on nohz_full for the unconditional call to ktime_get() to
actually matter.

Waiman Long 1a5620671a clocksource: Reduce the default clocksource_watchdog() retries to 2
With the previous patch, there is an extra watchdog read in each retry.
Now the total number of clocksource reads is increased to 4 per iteration.
In order to avoid increasing the clock skew check overhead, the default
maximum number of retries is reduced from 3 to 2 to maintain the same 12
clocksource reads in the worst case.

Waiman Long c86ff8c55b clocksource: Avoid accidental unstable marking of clocksources
Since commit db3a34e174 ("clocksource: Retry clock read if long delays
detected") and commit 2e27e793e2 ("clocksource: Reduce clocksource-skew
threshold"), it is found that tsc clocksource fallback to hpet can
sometimes happen on both Intel and AMD systems especially when they are
running stressful benchmarking workloads. Of the 23 systems tested with
a v5.14 kernel, 10 of them have switched to hpet clock source during
the test run.

The result of falling back to hpet is a drastic reduction of performance
when running benchmarks. For example, the fio performance tests can
drop up to 70% whereas the iperf3 performance can drop up to 80%.

4 hpet fallbacks happened during bootup. They were:

  [    8.749399] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU13: hpet read-back delay of 263750ns, attempt 4, marking unstable
  [   12.044610] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU19: hpet read-back delay of 186166ns, attempt 4, marking unstable
  [   17.336941] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU28: hpet read-back delay of 182291ns, attempt 4, marking unstable
  [   17.518565] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU34: hpet read-back delay of 252196ns, attempt 4, marking unstable

Other fallbacks happen when the systems were running stressful
benchmarks. For example:

  [ 2685.867873] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU117: hpet read-back delay of 57269ns, attempt 4, marking unstable
  [46215.471228] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU8: hpet read-back delay of 61460ns, attempt 4, marking unstable

Commit 2e27e793e2 ("clocksource: Reduce clocksource-skew threshold"),
changed the skew margin from 100us to 50us. I think this is too small
and can easily be exceeded when running some stressful workloads on a
thermally stressed system.  So it is switched back to 100us.

Even a maximum skew margin of 100us may be too small in for some systems
when booting up especially if those systems are under thermal stress. To
eliminate the case that the large skew is due to the system being too
busy slowing down the reading of both the watchdog and the clocksource,
an extra consecutive read of watchdog clock is being done to check this.

The consecutive watchdog read delay is compared against
WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW/2. If the delay exceeds the limit, we assume that
the system is just too busy. A warning will be printed to the console
and the clock skew check is skipped for this round.

Michael Pratt ca7752caea posix-cpu-timers: Clear task::posix_cputimers_work in copy_process()
copy_process currently copies task_struct.posix_cputimers_work as-is. If a
timer interrupt arrives while handling clone and before dup_task_struct
completes then the child task will have:

1. posix_cputimers_work.scheduled = true
2. posix_cputimers_work.work queued.

copy_process clears task_struct.task_works, so (2) will have no effect and
posix_cpu_timers_work will never run (not to mention it doesn't make sense
for two tasks to share a common linked list).

Since posix_cpu_timers_work never runs, posix_cputimers_work.scheduled is
never cleared. Since scheduled is set, future timer interrupts will skip
scheduling work, with the ultimate result that the task will never receive
timer expirations.

Together, the complete flow is:

1. Task 1 calls clone(), enters kernel.
2. Timer interrupt fires, schedules task work on Task 1.
   2a. task_struct.posix_cputimers_work.scheduled = true
   2b. task_struct.posix_cputimers_work.work added to
       task_struct.task_works.
3. dup_task_struct() copies Task 1 to Task 2.
4. copy_process() clears task_struct.task_works for Task 2.
5. Future timer interrupts on Task 2 see
   task_struct.posix_cputimers_work.scheduled = true and skip scheduling
   work.

Fix this by explicitly clearing contents of task_struct.posix_cputimers_work
in copy_process(). This was never meant to be shared or inherited across
tasks in the first place.

Vasily Averin c509723ec2 memcg: enable accounting for posix_timers_cache slab
A program may create multiple interval timers using timer_create().  For
each timer the kernel preallocates a "queued real-time signal",
Consequently, the number of timers is limited by the RLIMIT_SIGPENDING
resource limit.  The allocated object is quite small, ~250 bytes, but even
the default signal limits allow to consume up to 100 megabytes per user.

It makes sense to account for them to limit the host's memory consumption
from inside the memcg-limited container.

Paul E. McKenney d25a025201 clocksource: Make clocksource watchdog test safe for slow-HZ systems
The clocksource watchdog test sets a local JIFFIES_SHIFT macro and assumes
that HZ is >= 100. For smaller HZ values this shift value is too large and
causes undefined behaviour.

Move the HZ-based definitions of JIFFIES_SHIFT from kernel/time/jiffies.c
to kernel/time/tick-internal.h so the clocksource watchdog test can utilize
them, which makes it work correctly with all HZ values.

Thomas Gleixner f80e214895 hrtimer: Unbreak hrtimer_force_reprogram()
Since the recent consoliation of reprogramming functions,
hrtimer_force_reprogram() is affected by a check whether the new expiry
time is past the current expiry time.

This breaks the NOHZ logic as that relies on the fact that the tick hrtimer
is moved into the future. That means cpu_base->expires_next becomes stale
and subsequent reprogramming attempts fail as well until the situation is
cleaned up by an hrtimer interrupts.

For some yet unknown reason this leads to a complete stall, so for now
partially revert the offending commit to a known working state. The root
cause for the stall is still investigated and will be fixed in a subsequent
commit.

Thomas Gleixner 1e7f7fbcd4 hrtimer: Avoid more SMP function calls in clock_was_set()
By unconditionally updating the offsets there are more indicators
whether the SMP function calls on clock_was_set() can be avoided:

  - When the offset update already happened on the remote CPU then the
    remote update attempt will yield the same seqeuence number and no
    IPI is required.

  - When the remote CPU is currently handling hrtimer_interrupt(). In
    that case the remote CPU will reevaluate the timer bases before
    reprogramming anyway, so nothing to do.

  - After updating it can be checked whether the first expiring timer in
    the affected clock bases moves before the first expiring (softirq)
    timer of the CPU. If that's not the case then sending the IPI is not
    required.

Marcelo Tosatti 81d741d346 hrtimer: Avoid unnecessary SMP function calls in clock_was_set()
Setting of clocks triggers an unconditional SMP function call on all online
CPUs to reprogram the clock event device.

However, only some clocks have their offsets updated and therefore
potentially require a reprogram. That's CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_TAI and in
the case of resume (delayed sleep time injection) also CLOCK_BOOTTIME.

Instead of sending an IPI unconditionally, check each per CPU hrtimer base
whether it has active timers in the affected clock bases which are
indicated by the caller in the @bases argument of clock_was_set().

If that's not the case, skip the IPI and update the offsets remotely which
ensures that any subsequently armed timers on the affected clocks are
evaluated with the correct offsets.

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.

Thomas Gleixner a761a67f59 timekeeping: Distangle resume and clock-was-set events
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.

Thomas Gleixner e71a4153b7 hrtimer: Force clock_was_set() handling for the HIGHRES=n, NOHZ=y case
When CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS is disabled, but NOHZ is enabled then
clock_was_set() is not doing anything. With HIGHRES=n the kernel relies on
the periodic tick to update the clock offsets, but when NOHZ is enabled and
active then CPUs which are in a deep idle sleep do not have a periodic tick
which means the expiry of timers affected by clock_was_set() can be
arbitrarily delayed up to the point where the CPUs are brought out of idle
again.

Make the clock_was_set() logic unconditionaly available so that idle CPUs
are kicked out of idle to handle the update.

Thomas Gleixner 8c3b5e6ec0 hrtimer: Ensure timerfd notification for HIGHRES=n
If high resolution timers are disabled the timerfd notification about a
clock was set event is not happening for all cases which use
clock_was_set_delayed() because that's a NOP for HIGHRES=n, which is wrong.

Make clock_was_set_delayed() unconditially available to fix that.

Peter Zijlstra b14bca97c9 hrtimer: Consolidate reprogramming code
This code is mostly duplicated. The redudant store in the force reprogram
case does no harm and the in hrtimer interrupt condition cannot be true for
the force reprogram invocations.

Thomas Gleixner 627ef5ae2d hrtimer: Avoid double reprogramming in __hrtimer_start_range_ns()
If __hrtimer_start_range_ns() is invoked with an already armed hrtimer then
the timer has to be canceled first and then added back. If the timer is the
first expiring timer then on removal the clockevent device is reprogrammed
to the next expiring timer to avoid that the pending expiry fires needlessly.

If the new expiry time ends up to be the first expiry again then the clock
event device has to reprogrammed again.

Avoid this by checking whether the timer is the first to expire and in that
case, keep the timer on the current CPU and delay the reprogramming up to
the point where the timer has been enqueued again.

Frederic Weisbecker ee375328f5 posix-cpu-timers: Recalc next expiration when timer_settime() ends up not queueing
There are several scenarios that can result in posix_cpu_timer_set()
not queueing the timer but still leaving the threadgroup cputime counter
running or keeping the tick dependency around for a random amount of time.

1) If timer_settime() is called with a 0 expiration on a timer that is
   already disabled, the process wide cputime counter will be started
   and won't ever get a chance to be stopped by stop_process_timer()
   since no timer is actually armed to be processed.

   The following snippet is enough to trigger the issue.

	void trigger_process_counter(void)
	{
		timer_t id;
		struct itimerspec val = { };

		timer_create(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID, NULL, &id);
		timer_settime(id, TIMER_ABSTIME, &val, NULL);
		timer_delete(id);
	}

2) If timer_settime() is called with a 0 expiration on a timer that is
   already armed, the timer is dequeued but not really disarmed. So the
   process wide cputime counter and the tick dependency may still remain
   a while around.

   The following code snippet keeps this overhead around for one week after
   the timer deletion:

	void trigger_process_counter(void)
	{
		timer_t id;
		struct itimerspec val = { };

		val.it_value.tv_sec = 604800;
		timer_create(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID, NULL, &id);
		timer_settime(id, 0, &val, NULL);
		timer_delete(id);
	}

3) If the timer was initially deactivated, this call to timer_settime()
   with an early expiration may have started the process wide cputime
   counter even though the timer hasn't been queued and armed because it
   has fired early and inline within posix_cpu_timer_set() itself. As a
   result the process wide cputime counter may never stop until a new
   timer is ever armed in the future.

   The following code snippet can reproduce this:

	void trigger_process_counter(void)
	{
		timer_t id;
		struct itimerspec val = { };

		signal(SIGALRM, SIG_IGN);
		timer_create(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID, NULL, &id);
		val.it_value.tv_nsec = 1;
		timer_settime(id, TIMER_ABSTIME, &val, NULL);
	}

4) If the timer was initially armed with a former expiration value
   before this call to timer_settime() and the current call sets an
   early deadline that has already expired, the timer fires inline
   within posix_cpu_timer_set(). In this case it must have been dequeued
   before firing inline with its new expiration value, yet it hasn't
   been disarmed in this case. So the process wide cputime counter and
   the tick dependency may still be around for a while even after the
   timer fired.

   The following code snippet can reproduce this:

	void trigger_process_counter(void)
	{
		timer_t id;
		struct itimerspec val = { };

		signal(SIGALRM, SIG_IGN);
		timer_create(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID, NULL, &id);
		val.it_value.tv_sec = 100;
		timer_settime(id, TIMER_ABSTIME, &val, NULL);
		val.it_value.tv_sec = 0;
		val.it_value.tv_nsec = 1;
		timer_settime(id, TIMER_ABSTIME, &val, NULL);
	}

Fix all these issues with triggering the related base next expiration
recalculation on the next tick. This also implies to re-evaluate the need
to keep around the process wide cputime counter and the tick dependency, in
a similar fashion to disarm_timer().
