With the removal of the interrupt perturbations in previous random32
change (random32: make prandom_u32() output unpredictable), the PRNG
has become 100% deterministic again. While SipHash is expected to be
way more robust against brute force than the previous Tausworthe LFSR,
there's still the risk that whoever has even one temporary access to
the PRNG's internal state is able to predict all subsequent draws till
the next reseed (roughly every minute). This may happen through a side
channel attack or any data leak.
This patch restores the spirit of commit f227e3ec3b ("random32: update
the net random state on interrupt and activity") in that it will perturb
the internal PRNG's statee using externally collected noise, except that
it will not pick that noise from the random pool's bits nor upon
interrupt, but will rather combine a few elements along the Tx path
that are collectively hard to predict, such as dev, skb and txq
pointers, packet length and jiffies values. These ones are combined
using a single round of SipHash into a single long variable that is
mixed with the net_rand_state upon each invocation.
The operation was inlined because it produces very small and efficient
code, typically 3 xor, 2 add and 2 rol. The performance was measured
to be the same (even very slightly better) than before the switch to
SipHash; on a 6-core 12-thread Core i7-8700k equipped with a 40G NIC
(i40e), the connection rate dropped from 556k/s to 555k/s while the
SYN cookie rate grew from 5.38 Mpps to 5.45 Mpps.

Non-cryptographic PRNGs may have great statistical properties, but
are usually trivially predictable to someone who knows the algorithm,
given a small sample of their output. An LFSR like prandom_u32() is
particularly simple, even if the sample is widely scattered bits.
It turns out the network stack uses prandom_u32() for some things like
random port numbers which it would prefer are *not* trivially predictable.
Predictability led to a practical DNS spoofing attack. Oops.
This patch replaces the LFSR with a homebrew cryptographic PRNG based
on the SipHash round function, which is in turn seeded with 128 bits
of strong random key. (The authors of SipHash have *not* been consulted
about this abuse of their algorithm.) Speed is prioritized over security;
attacks are rare, while performance is always wanted.
Replacing all callers of prandom_u32() is the quick fix.
Whether to reinstate a weaker PRNG for uses which can tolerate it
is an open question.
Commit f227e3ec3b ("random32: update the net random state on interrupt
and activity") was an earlier attempt at a solution. This patch replaces
it.

do_init_timer() accepts any combination of timer flags handed in by the
caller without a sanity check, but only TIMER_DEFFERABLE, TIMER_PINNED and
TIMER_IRQSAFE are valid.
If the supplied flags have other bits set, this could result in
malfunction. If bits are set in TIMER_CPUMASK the first timer usage could
deference a cpu base which is outside the range of possible CPUs. If
TIMER_MIGRATION is set, then the switch_timer_base() will live lock.
Prevent that with a sanity check which warns when invalid flags are
supplied and masks them out.

Latch sequence counters are a multiversion concurrency control mechanism
where the seqcount_t counter even/odd value is used to switch between
two data storage copies. This allows the seqcount_t read path to safely
interrupt its write side critical section (e.g. from NMIs).
Initially, latch sequence counters were implemented as a single write
function, raw_write_seqcount_latch(), above plain seqcount_t. The read
path was expected to use plain seqcount_t raw_read_seqcount().
A specialized read function was later added, raw_read_seqcount_latch(),
and became the standardized way for latch read paths. Having unique read
and write APIs meant that latch sequence counters are basically a data
type of their own -- just inappropriately overloading plain seqcount_t.
The seqcount_latch_t data type was thus introduced at seqlock.h.
Use that new data type instead of seqcount_raw_spinlock_t. This ensures
that only latch-safe APIs are to be used with the sequence counter.
Note that the use of seqcount_raw_spinlock_t was not very useful in the
first place. Only the "raw_" subset of seqcount_t APIs were used at
timekeeping.c. This subset was created for contexts where lockdep cannot
be used. seqcount_LOCKTYPE_t's raison d'être -- verifying that the
seqcount_t writer serialization lock is held -- cannot thus be done.

sched_clock uses seqcount_t latching to switch between two storage
places protected by the sequence counter. This allows it to have
interruptible, NMI-safe, seqcount_t write side critical sections.
Since 7fc26327b7 ("seqlock: Introduce raw_read_seqcount_latch()"),
raw_read_seqcount_latch() became the standardized way for seqcount_t
latch read paths. Due to the dependent load, it has one read memory
barrier less than the currently used raw_read_seqcount() API.
Use raw_read_seqcount_latch() for the suspend path.
Commit aadd6e5caa ("time/sched_clock: Use raw_read_seqcount_latch()")

printk wants to store various timestamps (MONOTONIC, REALTIME, BOOTTIME) to
make correlation of dmesg from several systems easier.
Provide an interface to retrieve all three timestamps in one go.
There are some caveats:
1) Boot time and late sleep time injection
Boot time is a racy access on 32bit systems if the sleep time injection
happens late during resume and not in timekeeping_resume(). That could be
avoided by expanding struct tk_read_base with boot offset for 32bit and
adding more overhead to the update. As this is a hard to observe once per
resume event which can be filtered with reasonable effort using the
accurate mono/real timestamps, it's probably not worth the trouble.
Aside of that it might be possible on 32 and 64 bit to observe the
following when the sleep time injection happens late:
CPU 0 CPU 1
timekeeping_resume()
ktime_get_fast_timestamps()
mono, real = __ktime_get_real_fast()
inject_sleep_time()
update boot offset
boot = mono + bootoffset;
That means that boot time already has the sleep time adjustment, but
real time does not. On the next readout both are in sync again.
Preventing this for 64bit is not really feasible without destroying the
careful cache layout of the timekeeper because the sequence count and
struct tk_read_base would then need two cache lines instead of one.
2) Suspend/resume timestamps
Access to the time keeper clock source is disabled accross the innermost
steps of suspend/resume. The accessors still work, but the timestamps
are frozen until time keeping is resumed which happens very early.
For regular suspend/resume there is no observable difference vs. sched
clock, but it might affect some of the nasty low level debug printks.
OTOH, access to sched clock is not guaranteed accross suspend/resume on
all systems either so it depends on the hardware in use.
If that turns out to be a real problem then this could be mitigated by
using sched clock in a similar way as during early boot. But it's not as
trivial as on early boot because it needs some careful protection
against the clock monotonic timestamp jumping backwards on resume.

During early boot the NMI safe timekeeper returns 0 until the first
clocksource becomes available.
This prevents it from being used for printk or other facilities which today
use sched clock. sched clock can be available way before timekeeping is
initialized.
The obvious workaround for this is to utilize the early sched clock in the
default dummy clock read function until a clocksource becomes available.
After switching to the clocksource clock MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME will not
jump because the timekeeping_init() bases clock MONOTONIC on sched clock
and the offset between clock MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME is zero during boot.
Clock REALTIME cannot provide useful timestamps during early boot up to
the point where a persistent clock becomes available, which is either in
timekeeping_init() or later when the RTC driver which might depend on I2C
or other subsystems is initialized.
There is a minor difference to sched_clock() vs. suspend/resume. As the
timekeeper clock source might not be accessible during suspend, after
timekeeping_suspend() timestamps freeze up to the point where
timekeeping_resume() is invoked. OTOH this is true for some sched clock
implementations as well.

- Preparatory work to allow S390 to switch over to the generic VDSO
implementation.
S390 requires that the VDSO data pointer is handed in to the counter
read function when time namespace support is enabled. Adding the pointer
is a NOOP for all other architectures because the compiler is supposed
to optimize that out when it is unused in the architecture specific
inline. The change also solved a similar problem for MIPS which
fortunately has time namespaces not yet enabled.
S390 needs to update clock related VDSO data independent of the
timekeeping updates. This was solved so far with yet another sequence
counter in the S390 implementation. A better solution is to utilize the
already existing VDSO sequence count for this. The core code now exposes
helper functions which allow to serialize against the timekeeper code
and against concurrent readers.
S390 needs extra data for their clock readout function. The initial
common VDSO data structure did not provide a way to add that. It now has
an embedded architecture specific struct embedded which defaults to an
empty struct.
Doing this now avoids tree dependencies and conflicts post rc1 and
allows all other architectures which work on generic VDSO support to
work from a common upstream base.
- A trivial comment fix.

Pull timekeeping updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of timekeeping/VDSO updates:
- Preparatory work to allow S390 to switch over to the generic VDSO
implementation.
S390 requires that the VDSO data pointer is handed in to the
counter read function when time namespace support is enabled.
Adding the pointer is a NOOP for all other architectures because
the compiler is supposed to optimize that out when it is unused in
the architecture specific inline. The change also solved a similar
problem for MIPS which fortunately has time namespaces not yet
enabled.
S390 needs to update clock related VDSO data independent of the
timekeeping updates. This was solved so far with yet another
sequence counter in the S390 implementation. A better solution is
to utilize the already existing VDSO sequence count for this. The
core code now exposes helper functions which allow to serialize
against the timekeeper code and against concurrent readers.
S390 needs extra data for their clock readout function. The initial
common VDSO data structure did not provide a way to add that. It
now has an embedded architecture specific struct embedded which
defaults to an empty struct.
Doing this now avoids tree dependencies and conflicts post rc1 and
allows all other architectures which work on generic VDSO support
to work from a common upstream base.
- A trivial comment fix"

posix CPU timers into task work context. The tick interrupt is reduced to a
quick check which queues the work which is doing the heavy lifting before
returning to user space or going back to guest mode. Moving this out is
deferring the signal delivery slightly but posix CPU timers are inaccurate
by nature as they depend on the tick so there is no real damage. The
relevant test cases all passed.
This lifts the last offender for RT out of the hard interrupt context tick
handler, but it also has the general benefit that the actual heavy work is
accounted to the task/process and not to the tick interrupt itself.
Further optimizations are possible to break long sighand lock hold and
interrupt disabled (on !RT kernels) times when a massive amount of posix
CPU timers (which are unpriviledged) is armed for a task/process.
This is currently only enabled for x86 because the architecture has to
ensure that task work is handled in KVM before entering a guest, which was
just established for x86 with the new common entry/exit code which got
merged post 5.8 and is not the case for other KVM architectures.

Running posix CPU timers in hard interrupt context has a few downsides:
- For PREEMPT_RT it cannot work as the expiry code needs to take
sighand lock, which is a 'sleeping spinlock' in RT. The original RT
approach of offloading the posix CPU timer handling into a high
priority thread was clumsy and provided no real benefit in general.
- For fine grained accounting it's just wrong to run this in context of
the timer interrupt because that way a process specific CPU time is
accounted to the timer interrupt.
- Long running timer interrupts caused by a large amount of expiring
timers which can be created and armed by unpriviledged user space.
There is no hard requirement to expire them in interrupt context.
If the signal is targeted at the task itself then it won't be delivered
before the task returns to user space anyway. If the signal is targeted at
a supervisor process then it might be slightly delayed, but posix CPU
timers are inaccurate anyway due to the fact that they are tied to the
tick.
Provide infrastructure to schedule task work which allows splitting the
posix CPU timer code into a quick check in interrupt context and a thread
context expiry and signal delivery function. This has to be enabled by
architectures as it requires that the architecture specific KVM
implementation handles pending task work before exiting to guest mode.

Architectures can have the requirement to add additional architecture
specific data to the VDSO data page which needs to be updated independent
of the timekeeper updates.
To protect these updates vs. concurrent readers and a conflicting update
through timekeeping, provide helper functions to make such updates safe.
vdso_update_begin() takes the timekeeper_lock to protect against a
potential update from timekeeper code and increments the VDSO sequence
count to signal data inconsistency to concurrent readers. vdso_update_end()
makes the sequence count even again to signal data consistency and drops
the timekeeper lock.

Pull thread updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the changes to add the missing support for attaching to
time namespaces via pidfds.
Last cycle setns() was changed to support attaching to multiple
namespaces atomically. This requires all namespaces to have a point of
no return where they can't fail anymore.
Specifically, <namespace-type>_install() is allowed to perform
permission checks and install the namespace into the new struct nsset
that it has been given but it is not allowed to make visible changes
to the affected task. Once <namespace-type>_install() returns,
anything that the given namespace type additionally requires to be
setup needs to ideally be done in a function that can't fail or if it
fails the failure must be non-fatal.
For time namespaces the relevant functions that fell into this
category were timens_set_vvar_page() and vdso_join_timens(). The
latter could still fail although it didn't need to. This function is
only implemented for vdso_join_timens() in current mainline. As
discussed on-list (cf. [1]), in order to make setns() support time
namespaces when attaching to multiple namespaces at once properly we
changed vdso_join_timens() to always succeed. So vdso_join_timens()
replaces the mmap_write_lock_killable() with mmap_read_lock().
Please note that arm is about to grow vdso support for time namespaces
(possibly this merge window). We've synced on this change and arm64
also uses mmap_read_lock(), i.e. makes vdso_join_timens() a function
that can't fail. Once the changes here and the arm64 changes have
landed, vdso_join_timens() should be turned into a void function so
it's obvious to callers and implementers on other architectures that
the expectation is that it can't fail.
We didn't do this right away because it would've introduced
unnecessary merge conflicts between the two trees for no major gain.
As always, tests included"

This modifies the first 32 bits out of the 128 bits of a random CPU's
net_rand_state on interrupt or CPU activity to complicate remote
observations that could lead to guessing the network RNG's internal
state.
Note that depending on some network devices' interrupt rate moderation
or binding, this re-seeding might happen on every packet or even almost
never.
In addition, with NOHZ some CPUs might not even get timer interrupts,
leaving their local state rarely updated, while they are running
networked processes making use of the random state. For this reason, we
also perform this update in update_process_times() in order to at least
update the state when there is user or system activity, since it's the
only case we care about.

The nohz tick code recalculates the timer wheel's next expiry on each idle
loop iteration.
On the other hand, the base next expiry is now always cached and updated
upon timer enqueue and execution. Only timer dequeue may leave
base->next_expiry out of date (but then its stale value won't ever go past
the actual next expiry to be recalculated).
Since recalculating the next_expiry isn't a free operation, especially when
the last wheel level is reached to find out that no timer has been enqueued
at all, reuse the next expiry cache when it is known to be reliable, which
it is most of the time.

sched_clock uses seqcount_t latching to switch between two storage
places protected by the sequence counter. This allows it to have
interruptible, NMI-safe, seqcount_t write side critical sections.
Since 7fc26327b7 ("seqlock: Introduce raw_read_seqcount_latch()"),
raw_read_seqcount_latch() became the standardized way for seqcount_t
latch read paths. Due to the dependent load, it also has one read
memory barrier less than the currently used raw_read_seqcount() API.
Use raw_read_seqcount_latch() for the seqcount_t latch read path.

Now that the core timer infrastructure doesn't depend anymore on
periodic base->clk increments, even when the CPU is not in NO_HZ mode,
timer softirqs can be skipped until there are timers to expire.
Some spurious softirqs can still remain since base->next_expiry doesn't
keep track of canceled timers but this still reduces the number of softirqs
significantly: ~15 times less for HZ=1000 and ~5 times less for HZ=100.

As for next_expiry, the base->clk catch up logic will be expanded beyond
NOHZ in order to avoid triggering useless softirqs.
If softirqs should only fire to expire pending timers, periodic base->clk

The bucket expiry time is the effective expriy time of timers and is
greater than or equal to the requested timer expiry time. This is due
to the guarantee that timers never expire early and the reduced expiry
granularity in the secondary wheel levels.
When a timer is enqueued, trigger_dyntick_cpu() checks whether the
timer is the new first timer. This check compares next_expiry with
the requested timer expiry value and not with the effective expiry
value of the bucket into which the timer was queued.
Storing the requested timer expiry value in base->next_expiry can lead
to base->clk going backwards if the requested timer expiry value is
smaller than base->clk. Commit 30c66fc30e ("timer: Prevent base->clk
from moving backward") worked around this by preventing the store when
timer->expiry is before base->clk, but did not fix the underlying
problem.
Use the expiry value of the bucket into which the timer is queued to
do the new first timer check. This fixes the base->clk going backward
problem.
The workaround of commit 30c66fc30e ("timer: Prevent base->clk from
moving backward") in trigger_dyntick_cpu() is not longer necessary as the
timers bucket expiry is guaranteed to be greater than or equal base->clk.

The higher bits of the timer expiration are cropped while calling
calc_index() due to the implicit cast from unsigned long to unsigned int.
This loss shouldn't have consequences on the current code since all the
computation to calculate the index is done on the lower 32 bits.
However to prepare for returning the actual bucket expiration from
calc_index() in order to properly fix base->next_expiry updates, the higher
bits need to be preserved.

When an expiration delta falls into the last level of the wheel, that delta
has be compared against the maximum possible delay and reduced to fit in if
necessary.
However instead of comparing the delta against the maximum, the code
compares the actual expiry against the maximum. Then instead of fixing the
delta to fit in, it sets the maximum delta as the expiry value.
This can result in various undesired outcomes, the worst possible one
being a timer expiring 15 days ahead to fire immediately.

When a timer is enqueued with a negative delta (ie: expiry is below
base->clk), it gets added to the wheel as expiring now (base->clk).
Yet the value that gets stored in base->next_expiry, while calling
trigger_dyntick_cpu(), is the initial timer->expires value. The
resulting state becomes:
base->next_expiry < base->clk
On the next timer enqueue, forward_timer_base() may accidentally
rewind base->clk. As a possible outcome, timers may expire way too
early, the worst case being that the highest wheel levels get spuriously
processed again.
To prevent from that, make sure that base->next_expiry doesn't get below
base->clk.
