A lot of system calls that pass a time_t somewhere have an implementation
using a COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() on 64-bit architectures, and have
been reworked so that this implementation can now be used on 32-bit
architectures as well.
The missing step is to redefine them using the regular SYSCALL_DEFINEx()
to get them out of the compat namespace and make it possible to build them
on 32-bit architectures.
Any system call that ends in 'time' gets a '32' suffix on its name for
that version, while the others get a '_time32' suffix, to distinguish
them from the normal version, which takes a 64-bit time argument in the
future.
In this step, only 64-bit architectures are changed, doing this rename
first lets us avoid touching the 32-bit architectures twice.

Christoph Hellwig suggested a slightly different path for handling
backwards compatibility with the 32-bit time_t based system calls:
Rather than simply reusing the compat_sys_* entry points on 32-bit
architectures unchanged, we get rid of those entry points and the
compat_time types by renaming them to something that makes more sense
on 32-bit architectures (which don't have a compat mode otherwise),
and then share the entry points under the new name with the 64-bit
architectures that use them for implementing the compatibility.
The following types and interfaces are renamed here, and moved
from linux/compat_time.h to linux/time32.h:
old new
--- ---
compat_time_t old_time32_t
struct compat_timeval struct old_timeval32
struct compat_timespec struct old_timespec32
struct compat_itimerspec struct old_itimerspec32
ns_to_compat_timeval() ns_to_old_timeval32()
get_compat_itimerspec64() get_old_itimerspec32()
put_compat_itimerspec64() put_old_itimerspec32()
compat_get_timespec64() get_old_timespec32()
compat_put_timespec64() put_old_timespec32()
As we already have aliases in place, this patch addresses only the
instances that are relevant to the system call interface in particular,
not those that occur in device drivers and other modules. Those
will get handled separately, while providing the 64-bit version
of the respective interfaces.
I'm not renaming the timex, rusage and itimerval structures, as we are
still debating what the new interface will look like, and whether we
will need a replacement at all.
This also doesn't change the names of the syscall entry points, which can
be done more easily when we actually switch over the 32-bit architectures
to use them, at that point we need to change COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx to
SYSCALL_DEFINEx with a new name, e.g. with a _time32 suffix.

As stated in the pull request for the unification of CLOCK_MONOTONIC and
CLOCK_BOOTTIME, it was clear that we might have to revert the change.
As reported by several folks systemd and other applications rely on the
documented behaviour of CLOCK_MONOTONIC on Linux and break with the above
changes. After resume daemons time out and other timeout related issues are
observed. Rafael compiled this list:
* systemd kills daemons on resume, after >WatchdogSec seconds
of suspending (Genki Sky). [Verified that that's because systemd uses
CLOCK_MONOTONIC and expects it to not include the suspend time.]
* systemd-journald misbehaves after resume:
systemd-journald[7266]: File /var/log/journal/016627c3c4784cd4812d4b7e96a34226/system.journal
corrupted or uncleanly shut down, renaming and replacing.
(Mike Galbraith).
* NetworkManager reports "networking disabled" and networking is broken
after resume 50% of the time (Pavel). [May be because of systemd.]
* MATE desktop dims the display and starts the screensaver right after
system resume (Pavel).
* Full system hang during resume (me). [May be due to systemd or NM or both.]
That happens on debian and open suse systems.
It's sad, that these problems were neither catched in -next nor by those
folks who expressed interest in this change.

Change over clock_nanosleep syscalls to use y2038 safe
__kernel_timespec times. This will enable changing over
of these syscalls to use new y2038 safe syscalls when
the architectures define the CONFIG_64BIT_TIME.
Note that nanosleep syscall is deprecated and does not have a
plan for making it y2038 safe. But, the syscall should work as
before on 64 bit machines and on 32 bit machines, the syscall
works correctly until y2038 as before using the existing compat
syscall version. There is no new syscall for supporting 64 bit
time_t on 32 bit architectures.

The hrtimer interrupt code contains a hang detection and mitigation
mechanism, which prevents that a long delayed hrtimer interrupt causes a
continous retriggering of interrupts which prevent the system from making
progress. If a hang is detected then the timer hardware is programmed with
a certain delay into the future and a flag is set in the hrtimer cpu base
which prevents newly enqueued timers from reprogramming the timer hardware
prior to the chosen delay. The subsequent hrtimer interrupt after the delay
clears the flag and resumes normal operation.
If such a hang happens in the last hrtimer interrupt before a CPU is
unplugged then the hang_detected flag is set and stays that way when the
CPU is plugged in again. At that point the timer hardware is not armed and
it cannot be armed because the hang_detected flag is still active, so
nothing clears that flag. As a consequence the CPU does not receive hrtimer
interrupts and no timers expire on that CPU which results in RCU stalls and
other malfunctions.
Clear the flag along with some other less critical members of the hrtimer
cpu base to ensure starting from a clean state when a CPU is plugged in.
Thanks to Paul, Sebastian and Anna-Maria for their help to get down to the
root cause of that hard to reproduce heisenbug. Once understood it's
trivial and certainly justifies a brown paperbag.

hrtimer callbacks are always invoked in hard interrupt context. Several
users in tree require soft interrupt context for their callbacks and
achieve this by combining a hrtimer with a tasklet. The hrtimer schedules
the tasklet in hard interrupt context and the tasklet callback gets invoked
in softirq context later.
That's suboptimal and aside of that the real-time patch moves most of the
hrtimers into softirq context. So adding native support for hrtimers
expiring in softirq context is a valuable extension for both mainline and
the RT patch set.
Each valid hrtimer clock id has two associated hrtimer clock bases: one for
timers expiring in hardirq context and one for timers expiring in softirq
context.
Implement the functionality to associate a hrtimer with the hard or softirq
related clock bases and update the relevant functions to take them into
account when the next expiry time needs to be evaluated.
Add a check into the hard interrupt context handler functions to check
whether the first expiring softirq based timer has expired. If it's expired
the softirq is raised and the accounting of softirq based timers to
evaluate the next expiry time for programming the timer hardware is skipped
until the softirq processing has finished. At the end of the softirq
processing the regular processing is resumed.

Currently hrtimer callback functions are always executed in hard interrupt
context. Users of hrtimers, which need their timer function to be executed
in soft interrupt context, make use of tasklets to get the proper context.
Add additional hrtimer clock bases for timers which must expire in softirq
context, so the detour via the tasklet can be avoided. This is also
required for RT, where the majority of hrtimer is moved into softirq
hrtimer context.
The selection of the expiry mode happens via a mode bit. Introduce
HRTIMER_MODE_SOFT and the matching combinations with the ABS/REL/PINNED
bits and update the decoding of hrtimer_mode in tracepoints.

__run_hrtimer() is called with the hrtimer_cpu_base.lock held and
interrupts disabled. Before invoking the timer callback the base lock is
dropped, but interrupts stay disabled.
The upcoming support for softirq based hrtimers requires that interrupts
are enabled before the timer callback is invoked.
To avoid code duplication, take hrtimer_cpu_base.lock with
raw_spin_lock_irqsave(flags) at the call site and hand in the flags as
a parameter. So raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore() before the callback invocation
will either keep interrupts disabled in interrupt context or restore to
interrupt enabled state when called from softirq context.

hrtimer_reprogram() must have access to the hrtimer_clock_base of the new
first expiring timer to access hrtimer_clock_base.offset for adjusting the
expiry time to CLOCK_MONOTONIC. This is required to evaluate whether the
new left most timer in the hrtimer_clock_base is the first expiring timer
of all clock bases in a hrtimer_cpu_base.
The only user of hrtimer_reprogram() is hrtimer_start_range_ns(), which has
a pointer to hrtimer_clock_base() already and hands it in as a parameter. But
hrtimer_start_range_ns() will be split for the upcoming support for softirq
based hrtimers to avoid code duplication and will lose the direct access to
the clock base pointer.
Instead of handing in timer and timer->base as a parameter remove the base
parameter from hrtimer_reprogram() instead and retrieve the clock base internally.

The current decision whether a timer can be queued on a remote CPU checks
for timer->expiry <= remote_cpu_base.expires_next.
This is too restrictive because a timer with the same expiry time as an
existing timer will be enqueued on right-hand size of the existing timer
inside the rbtree, i.e. behind the first expiring timer.
So its safe to allow enqueuing timers with the same expiry time as the
first expiring timer on a remote CPU base.

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.

When the first hrtimer on the current CPU is removed,
hrtimer_force_reprogram() is invoked but only when
CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=y and hrtimer_cpu_base.hres_active is set.
hrtimer_force_reprogram() updates hrtimer_cpu_base.expires_next and
reprograms the clock event device. When CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=y and
hrtimer_cpu_base.hres_active is set, a pointless hrtimer interrupt can be
prevented.
hrtimer_check_target() makes the 'can remote enqueue' decision. As soon as
hrtimer_check_target() is unconditionally available and
hrtimer_cpu_base.expires_next is updated by hrtimer_reprogram(),
hrtimer_force_reprogram() needs to be available unconditionally as well to
prevent the following scenario with CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=n:
- the first hrtimer on this CPU is removed and hrtimer_force_reprogram() is
not executed
- CPU goes idle (next timer is calculated and hrtimers are taken into
account)
- a hrtimer is enqueued remote on the idle CPU: hrtimer_check_target()
compares expiry value and hrtimer_cpu_base.expires_next. The expiry value
is after expires_next, so the hrtimer is enqueued. This timer will fire
late, if it expires before the effective first hrtimer on this CPU and
the comparison was with an outdated expires_next value.
To prevent this scenario, make hrtimer_force_reprogram() unconditional
except the effective reprogramming part, which gets eliminated by the
compiler in the CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=n case.

hrtimer_cpu_base.next_timer stores the pointer to the next expiring timer
in a CPU base.
This pointer cannot be dereferenced and is solely used to check whether a
hrtimer which is removed is the hrtimer which is the first to expire in the
CPU base. If this is the case, then the timer hardware needs to be
reprogrammed to avoid an extra interrupt for nothing.
Again, this is conditional functionality, but there is no compelling reason
to make this conditional. As a preparation, hrtimer_cpu_base.next_timer
needs to be available unconditonally.
Aside of that the upcoming support for softirq based hrtimers requires access
to this pointer unconditionally as well, so our motivation is not entirely
simplicity based.
Make the update of hrtimer_cpu_base.next_timer unconditional and remove the
#ifdef cruft. The impact on CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=n && CONFIG_NOHZ=n is
marginal as it's just a store on an already dirtied cacheline.

hrtimer_cpu_base.expires_next is used to cache the next event armed in the
timer hardware. The value is used to check whether an hrtimer can be
enqueued remotely. If the new hrtimer is expiring before expires_next, then
remote enqueue is not possible as the remote hrtimer hardware cannot be
accessed for reprogramming to an earlier expiry time.
The remote enqueue check is currently conditional on
CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=y and hrtimer_cpu_base.hres_active. There is no
compelling reason to make this conditional.
Move hrtimer_cpu_base.expires_next out of the CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=y
guarded area and remove the conditionals in hrtimer_check_target().
The check is currently a NOOP for the CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=n and the
!hrtimer_cpu_base.hres_active case because in these cases nothing updates
hrtimer_cpu_base.expires_next yet. This will be changed with later patches
which further reduce the #ifdef zoo in this code.

The pointer to the currently running timer is stored in hrtimer_cpu_base
before the base lock is dropped and the callback is invoked.
This results in two levels of indirections and the upcoming support for
softirq based hrtimer requires splitting the "running" storage into soft
and hard IRQ context expiry.
Storing both in the cpu base would require conditionals in all code paths
accessing that information.
It's possible to have a per clock base sequence count and running pointer
without changing the semantics of the related mechanisms because the timer
base pointer cannot be changed while a timer is running the callback.
Unfortunately this makes cpu_clock base larger than 32 bytes on 32-bit
kernels. Instead of having huge gaps due to alignment, remove the alignment
and let the compiler pack CPU base for 32-bit kernels. The resulting cache access
patterns are fortunately not really different from the current
behaviour. On 64-bit kernels the 64-byte alignment stays and the behaviour is
unchanged. This was determined by analyzing the resulting layout and
looking at the number of cache lines involved for the frequently used
clocks.

The POSIX specification defines that relative CLOCK_REALTIME timers are not
affected by clock modifications. Those timers have to use CLOCK_MONOTONIC
to ensure POSIX compliance.
The introduction of the additional HRTIMER_MODE_PINNED mode broke this
requirement for pinned timers.
There is no user space visible impact because user space timers are not
using pinned mode, but for consistency reasons this needs to be fixed.
Check whether the mode has the HRTIMER_MODE_REL bit set instead of
comparing with HRTIMER_MODE_ABS.

'clock_id', therefore change the name of the parameter here as well
to make it all consistent.
While at it, clean up the description for the 'clock_id' and 'mode'

The protection of a hrtimer which runs its callback against migration to a
different CPU has nothing to do with hard interrupt context.
The protection against migration of a hrtimer running the expiry callback
is the pointer in the cpu_base which holds a pointer to the currently
running timer. This pointer is evaluated in the code which potentially
switches the timer base and makes sure it's kept on the CPU on which the
callback is running.
