itimer: Make timeval to nsec conversion range limited

2017-06-20T19:33:56+00:00

The expiry time of a itimer is supplied through sys_setitimer() via a
struct timeval. The timeval is validated for correctness.

In the actual set timer implementation the timeval is converted to a
scalar nanoseconds value. If the tv_sec part of the time spec is large
enough the conversion to nanoseconds (sec * NSEC_PER_SEC) overflows 64bit.

Mitigate that by using the timeval_to_ktime() conversion function, which
checks the tv_sec part for a potential mult overflow and clamps the result
to KTIME_MAX, which is about 292 years.

sched/headers: Prepare to move cputime functionality from into

2017-03-02T07:42:39+00:00

Introduce a trivial, mostly empty  header
to prepare for the moving of cputime functionality out of sched.h.

Update all code that relies on these facilities.

sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to

2017-03-02T07:42:29+00:00

We are going to split  out of , which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.

Create a trivial placeholder  file that just
maps to  to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.

Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

timers/itimer: Convert internal cputime_t units to nsec

2017-02-01T08:13:55+00:00

Use the new nsec based cputime accessors as part of the whole cputime
conversion from cputime_t to nsecs.

Also convert itimers to use nsec based internal counters. This simplifies
it and removes the whole game with error/inc_error which served to deal
with cputime_t random granularity.

sched/cputime: Introduce special task_cputime_t() API to return old-typed cputime

2017-02-01T08:13:48+00:00

This API returns a task's cputime in cputime_t in order to ease the
conversion of cputime internals to use nsecs units instead. Blindly
converting all cputime readers to use this API now will later let us
convert more smoothly and step by step all these places to use the
new nsec based cputime.

ktime: Get rid of the union

2016-12-25T16:21:22+00:00

ktime is a union because the initial implementation stored the time in
scalar nanoseconds on 64 bit machine and in a endianess optimized timespec
variant for 32bit machines. The Y2038 cleanup removed the timespec variant
and switched everything to scalar nanoseconds. The union remained, but
become completely pointless.

Get rid of the union and just keep ktime_t as simple typedef of type s64.

The conversion was done with coccinelle and some manual mopping up.

Replace with globally

2016-12-24T19:46:01+00:00

This was entirely automated, using the script by Al:

  PATT='^[[:blank:]]*#[[:blank:]]*include[[:blank:]]*'
  sed -i -e "s!$PATT!#include !" \
        $(git grep -l "$PATT"|grep -v ^include/linux/uaccess.h)

to do the replacement at the end of the merge window.

timer: Move sys_alarm from timer.c to itimer.c

2016-11-16T08:26:34+00:00

Move the only user of alarm_setitimer to itimer.c where it is defined.
This allows for making alarm_setitimer static, and dropping it from the
build when __ARCH_WANT_SYS_ALARM is not defined.
