posix-timers: Pass lockdep expression to RCU lists

2020-02-17T19:12:19+00:00

head is traversed using hlist_for_each_entry_rcu outside an RCU read-side
critical section but under the protection of hash_lock.

Hence, add corresponding lockdep expression to silence false-positive
lockdep warnings, and harden RCU lists.

[ tglx: Removed the macro and put the condition right where it's used ]

posix-timers: Make clock_nanosleep() time namespace aware

2020-01-14T11:20:55+00:00

clock_nanosleep() accepts absolute values of expiration time, if the
TIMER_ABSTIME flag is set. This value is in the tasks time namespace,
which has to be converted to the host time namespace.

hrtimers: Prepare hrtimer_nanosleep() for time namespaces

2020-01-14T11:20:55+00:00

clock_nanosleep() accepts absolute values of expiration time when
TIMER_ABSTIME flag is set. This absolute value is inside the task's
time namespace, and has to be converted to the host's time.

There is timens_ktime_to_host() helper for converting time, but
it accepts ktime argument.

As a preparation, make hrtimer_nanosleep() accept a clock value in ktime
instead of timespec64.

posix-timers: Make timer_settime() time namespace aware

2020-01-14T11:20:54+00:00

Wire timer_settime() syscall into time namespace virtualization.

sys_timer_settime() calls the ktime->timer_set() callback. Right now,
common_timer_set() is the only implementation for the callback.

The user-supplied expiry value is converted from timespec64 to ktime and
then timens_ktime_to_host() can be used to convert namespace's time to the
host time.

Inside a time namespace kernel's time differs by a fixed offset from a
user-supplied time, but only absolute values (TIMER_ABSTIME) must be
converted.

posix-clocks: Wire up clock_gettime() with timens offsets

2020-01-14T11:20:52+00:00

Adjust monotonic and boottime clocks with per-timens offsets.  As the
result a process inside time namespace will see timers and clocks corrected
to offsets that were set when the namespace was created

Note that applications usually go through vDSO to get time, which is not
yet adjusted. Further changes will complete time namespace virtualisation
with vDSO support.

posix-timers: Use clock_get_ktime() in common_timer_get()

2020-01-14T11:20:52+00:00

Now, when the clock_get_ktime() callback exists, the suboptimal
timespec64-based conversion can be removed from common_timer_get().

posix-clocks: Introduce clock_get_ktime() callback

2020-01-14T11:20:51+00:00

The callsite in common_timer_get() has already a comment:
    /*
     * The timespec64 based conversion is suboptimal, but it's not
     * worth to implement yet another callback.
     */
    kc->clock_get(timr->it_clock, &ts64);
    now = timespec64_to_ktime(ts64);

The upcoming support for time namespaces requires to have access to:

 - The time in a task's time namespace for sys_clock_gettime()
 - The time in the root name space for common_timer_get()

That adds a valid reason to finally implement a separate callback which
returns the time in ktime_t format.

posix-clocks: Rename .clock_get_timespec() callbacks accordingly

2020-01-14T11:20:50+00:00

The upcoming support for time namespaces requires to have access to:

  - The time in a task's time namespace for sys_clock_gettime()
  - The time in the root name space for common_timer_get()

That adds a valid reason to finally implement a separate callback which
returns the time in ktime_t format in (struct k_clock).

As a preparation ground for introducing clock_get_ktime(), the original
callback clock_get() was renamed into clock_get_timespec().
Reflect the renaming into the callback implementations.

hrtimer: Improve comments on handling priority inversion against softirq kthread

2019-08-20T20:05:46+00:00

The handling of a priority inversion between timer cancelling and a a not
well defined possible preemption of softirq kthread is not very clear.

Especially in the posix timers side it's unclear why there is a specific RT
wait callback.

All the nice explanations can be found in the initial changelog of
f61eff83cec9 (hrtimer: Prepare support for PREEMPT_RT").

Extract the detailed informations from there and put it into comments.
