[ Upstream commit b9023b91dd020ad7e093baa5122b6968c48cc9e0 ]

When a cpu requests broadcasting, before starting the tick broadcast
hrtimer, bc_set_next() checks if the timer callback (bc_handler) is active
using hrtimer_try_to_cancel(). But hrtimer_try_to_cancel() does not provide
the required synchronization when the callback is active on other core.

The callback could have already executed tick_handle_oneshot_broadcast()
and could have also returned. But still there is a small time window where
the hrtimer_try_to_cancel() returns -1. In that case bc_set_next() returns
without doing anything, but the next_event of the tick broadcast clock
device is already set to a timeout value.

In the race condition diagram below, CPU #1 is running the timer callback
and CPU #2 is entering idle state and so calls bc_set_next().

In the worst case, the next_event will contain an expiry time, but the
hrtimer will not be started which happens when the racing callback returns
HRTIMER_NORESTART. The hrtimer might never recover if all further requests
from the CPUs to subscribe to tick broadcast have timeout greater than the
next_event of tick broadcast clock device. This leads to cascading of
failures and finally noticed as rcu stall warnings

Here is a depiction of the race condition

      return HRTIMER_NORESTART
    // callback function exits without

                                                       bc_set_next()

                                                         hrtimer_try_to_cancel()
                                                         //returns -1 since the timer

  cpu_base-&gt;running = NULL;

The comment that hrtimer cannot be armed from within the callback is
wrong. It is fine to start the hrtimer from within the callback. Also it is
safe to start the hrtimer from the enter/exit idle code while the broadcast
handler is active. The enter/exit idle code and the broadcast handler are
synchronized using tick_broadcast_lock. So there is no need for the
existing try to cancel logic. All this can be removed which will eliminate
the race condition as well.

<title>timer: Read jiffies once when forwarding base clk</title>

commit e430d802d6a3aaf61bd3ed03d9404888a29b9bf9 upstream.

The timer delayed for more than 3 seconds warning was triggered during
testing.

  Workqueue: events_unbound sched_tick_remote
  RIP: 0010:sched_tick_remote+0xee/0x100
  ...
  Call Trace:
   process_one_work+0x18c/0x3a0
   worker_thread+0x30/0x380
   kthread+0x113/0x130
   ret_from_fork+0x22/0x40

The reason is that the code in collect_expired_timers() uses jiffies
unprotected:

    if (next_event &gt; jiffies)
        base-&gt;clk = jiffies;

As the compiler is allowed to reload the value base-&gt;clk can advance
between the check and the store and in the worst case advance farther than
next event. That causes the timer expiry to be delayed until the wheel
pointer wraps around.

Convert the code to use READ_ONCE()

commit f18ddc13af981ce3c7b7f26925f099e7c6929aba upstream.

ENOTSUPP is not supposed to be returned to userspace. This was found on an
OpenPower machine, where the RTC does not support set_alarm.

On that system, a clock_nanosleep(CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM, ...) results in
"524 Unknown error 524"

Replace it with EOPNOTSUPP which results in the expected "95 Operation not
supported" error.

[ Upstream commit 692117c1f7a6770ed41dd8f277cd9fed1dfb16f1 ]

Warning when p == NULL and then proceeding and dereferencing p does not
make any sense as the kernel will crash with a NULL pointer dereference
right away.

Bailing out when p == NULL and returning an error code does not cure the
underlying problem which caused p to be NULL. Though it might allow to
do proper debugging.

Same applies to the clock id check in set_process_cpu_timer().

Clean them up and make them return without trying to do further damage.

<title>timekeeping/vsyscall: Prevent math overflow in BOOTTIME update</title>

The VDSO update for CLOCK_BOOTTIME has a overflow issue as it shifts the
nanoseconds based boot time offset left by the clocksource shift. That
overflows once the boot time offset becomes large enough. As a consequence
CLOCK_BOOTTIME in the VDSO becomes a random number causing applications to
misbehave.

Fix it by storing a timespec64 representation of the offset when boot time
is adjusted and add that to the MONOTONIC base time value in the vdso data
page. Using the timespec64 representation avoids a 64bit division in the
update code.

On 32-bit x86 when building with clang-9, the 'division' loop gets turned
back into an inefficient division that causes a link error:

kernel/time/vsyscall.o: In function `update_vsyscall':
vsyscall.c:(.text+0xe3): undefined reference to `__udivdi3'

Use the existing __iter_div_u64_rem() function which is used to address the
same issue in other places.

Fixes: 44f57d788e7d ("timekeeping: Provide a generic update_vsyscall() implementation")

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Remove the unused per rq load array and all its infrastructure, by
   Dietmar Eggemann.

 - Add utilization clamping support by Patrick Bellasi. This is a
   refinement of the energy aware scheduling framework with support for
   boosting of interactive and capping of background workloads: to make
   sure critical GUI threads get maximum frequency ASAP, and to make
   sure background processing doesn't unnecessarily move to cpufreq
   governor to higher frequencies and less energy efficient CPU modes.

 - Add the bare minimum of tracepoints required for LISA EAS regression
   testing, by Qais Yousef - which allows automated testing of various
   power management features, including energy aware scheduling.

 - Restructure the former tsk_nr_cpus_allowed() facility that the -rt
   kernel used to modify the scheduler's CPU affinity logic such as
   migrate_disable() - introduce the task-&gt;cpus_ptr value instead of
   taking the address of &amp;task-&gt;cpus_allowed directly - by Sebastian
   Andrzej Siewior.

 - Misc optimizations, fixes, cleanups and small enhancements - see the
   Git log for details.

The user value is validated after converting the timeval to a timespec, but
for a wide range of negative tv_usec values the multiplication overflow turns
them in positive numbers. So the 'validated later' is not catching the
invalid input.

That gets rid of this warning:

   ./kernel/time/hrtimer.c:1119: WARNING: Block quote ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.

and displays nicely both at the source code and at the produced
documentation.
