2021-08-12timers: Move clearing of base::timer_running under base:: LockThomas Gleixner
commit bb7262b295472eb6858b5c49893954794027cd84 upstream. syzbot reported KCSAN data races vs. timer_base::timer_running being set to NULL without holding base::lock in expire_timers(). This looks innocent and most reads are clearly not problematic, but Frederic identified an issue which is: int data = 0; void timer_func(struct timer_list *t) { data = 1; } CPU 0 CPU 1 ------------------------------ -------------------------- base = lock_timer_base(timer, &flags); raw_spin_unlock(&base->lock); if (base->running_timer != timer) call_timer_fn(timer, fn, baseclk); ret = detach_if_pending(timer, base, true); base->running_timer = NULL; raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&base->lock, flags); raw_spin_lock(&base->lock); x = data; If the timer has previously executed on CPU 1 and then CPU 0 can observe base->running_timer == NULL and returns, assuming the timer has completed, but it's not guaranteed on all architectures. The comment for del_timer_sync() makes that guarantee. Moving the assignment under base->lock prevents this. For non-RT kernel it's performance wise completely irrelevant whether the store happens before or after taking the lock. For an RT kernel moving the store under the lock requires an extra unlock/lock pair in the case that there is a waiter for the timer, but that's not the end of the world.

2020-11-18random32: make prandom_u32() output unpredictableGeorge Spelvin
commit c51f8f88d705e06bd696d7510aff22b33eb8e638 upstream. 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 f227e3ec3b5c ("random32: update the net random state on interrupt and activity") was an earlier attempt at a solution. This patch replaces it.

2020-08-07random32: update the net random state on interrupt and activityWilly Tarreau
commit f227e3ec3b5cad859ad15666874405e8c1bbc1d4 upstream. 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.

2020-07-22timer: Fix wheel index calculation on last levelFrederic Weisbecker
commit e2a71bdea81690b6ef11f4368261ec6f5b6891aa upstream. 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.

2020-07-22timer: Prevent base->clk from moving backwardFrederic Weisbecker
commit 30c66fc30ee7a98c4f3adf5fb7e213b61884474f upstream. 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.

2019-08-01timers: Prepare support for PREEMPT_RTAnna-Maria Gleixner
When PREEMPT_RT is enabled, the soft interrupt thread can be preempted. If the soft interrupt thread is preempted in the middle of a timer callback, then calling del_timer_sync() can lead to two issues: - If the caller is on a remote CPU then it has to spin wait for the timer handler to complete. This can result in unbound priority inversion. - If the caller originates from the task which preempted the timer handler on the same CPU, then spin waiting for the timer handler to complete is never going to end. To avoid these issues, add a new lock to the timer base which is held around the execution of the timer callbacks. If del_timer_sync() detects that the timer callback is currently running, it blocks on the expiry lock. When the callback is finished, the expiry lock is dropped by the softirq thread which wakes up the waiter and the system makes progress. This addresses both the priority inversion and the life lock issues. This mechanism is not used for timers which are marked IRQSAFE as for those preemption is disabled accross the callback and therefore this situation cannot happen. The callbacks for such timers need to be individually audited for RT compliance. The same issue can happen in virtual machines when the vCPU which runs a timer callback is scheduled out. If a second vCPU of the same guest calls del_timer_sync() it will spin wait for the other vCPU to be scheduled back in. The expiry lock mechanism would avoid that. It'd be trivial to enable this when paravirt spinlocks are enabled in a guest, but it's not clear whether this is an actual problem in the wild, so for now it's an RT only mechanism. As the softirq thread can be preempted with PREEMPT_RT=y, the SMP variant of del_timer_sync() needs to be used on UP as well.

2019-03-24timer/trace: Improve timer tracingAnna-Maria Gleixner
Timers are added to the timer wheel off by one. This is required in case a timer is queued directly before incrementing jiffies to prevent early timer expiry. When reading a timer trace and relying only on the expiry time of the timer in the timer_start trace point and on the now in the timer_expiry_entry trace point, it seems that the timer fires late. With the current timer_expiry_entry trace point information only now=jiffies is printed but not the value of base->clk. This makes it impossible to draw a conclusion to the index of base->clk and makes it impossible to examine timer problems without additional trace points. Therefore add the base->clk value to the timer_expire_entry trace point, to be able to calculate the index the timer base is located at during collecting expired timers.

When placing the timer_start trace point before the timer wheel bucket index is calculated, the index information in the trace point is useless. It is not possible to simply move the debug_activate() call after the index calculation, because debug_object_activate() needs to be called before touching the object. Therefore split debug_activate() and move the trace point into enqueue_timer() after the new index has been calculated. The debug_object_activate() call remains at the original place.

2019-01-25rcu: Rename rcu_check_callbacks() to rcu_sched_clock_irq()Paul E. McKenney
The name rcu_check_callbacks() arguably made sense back in the early 2000s when RCU was quite a bit simpler than it is today, but it has become quite misleading, especially with the advent of dyntick-idle and NO_HZ_FULL. The rcu_check_callbacks() function is RCU's hook into the scheduling-clock interrupt, and is now but one of many ways that callbacks get promoted to invocable state. This commit therefore changes the name to rcu_sched_clock_irq(), which is the same number of characters and clearly indicates this function's relation to the rest of the Linux kernel. In addition, for the sake of consistency, rcu_flavor_check_callbacks() is also renamed to rcu_flavor_sched_clock_irq(). While in the area, the header comments for both functions are reworked.

2018-08-02timers: Clear timer_base::must_forward_clk with timer_base::lock heldGaurav Kohli
timer_base::must_forward_clock is indicating that the base clock might be stale due to a long idle sleep. The forwarding of the base clock takes place in the timer softirq or when a timer is enqueued to a base which is idle. If the enqueue of timer to an idle base happens from a remote CPU, then the following race can happen: CPU0 CPU1 run_timer_softirq mod_timer base = lock_timer_base(timer); base->must_forward_clk = false if (base->must_forward_clk) forward(base); -> skipped enqueue_timer(base, timer, idx); -> idx is calculated high due to stale base unlock_timer_base(timer); base = lock_timer_base(timer); forward(base); The root cause is that timer_base::must_forward_clk is cleared outside the timer_base::lock held region, so the remote queuing CPU observes it as cleared, but the base clock is still stale. This can cause large granularity values for timers, i.e. the accuracy of the expiry time suffers. Prevent this by clearing the flag with timer_base::lock held, so that the forwarding takes place before the cleared flag is observable by a remote CPU.

2018-02-28timers: Forward timer base before migrating timersLingutla Chandrasekhar
On CPU hotunplug the enqueued timers of the unplugged CPU are migrated to a live CPU. This happens from the control thread which initiated the unplug. If the CPU on which the control thread runs came out from a longer idle period then the base clock of that CPU might be stale because the control thread runs prior to any event which forwards the clock. In such a case the timers from the unplugged CPU are queued on the live CPU based on the stale clock which can cause large delays due to increased granularity of the outer timer wheels which are far away from base:;clock. But there is a worse problem than that. The following sequence of events illustrates it: - CPU0 timer1 is queued expires = 59969 and base->clk = 59131. The timer is queued at wheel level 2, with resulting expiry time = 60032 (due to level granularity). - CPU1 enters idle @60007, with next timer expiry @60020. - CPU0 is hotplugged at @60009 - CPU1 exits idle and runs the control thread which migrates the timers from CPU0 timer1 is now queued in level 0 for immediate handling in the next softirq because the requested expiry time 59969 is before CPU1 base->clk 60007 - CPU1 runs code which forwards the base clock which succeeds because the next expiring timer. which was collected at idle entry time is still set to 60020. So it forwards beyond 60007 and therefore misses to expire the migrated timer1. That timer gets expired when the wheel wraps around again, which takes between 63 and 630ms depending on the HZ setting. Address both problems by invoking forward_timer_base() for the control CPUs timer base. All other places, which might run into a similar problem (mod_timer()/add_timer_on()) already invoke forward_timer_base() to avoid that.

2018-01-16hrtimer: Unify remote enqueue handlingAnna-Maria Gleixner
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.

2017-12-29timers: Use deferrable base independent of base::nohz_activeAnna-Maria Gleixner
During boot and before base::nohz_active is set in the timer bases, deferrable timers are enqueued into the standard timer base. This works correctly as long as base::nohz_active is false. Once it base::nohz_active is set and a timer which was enqueued before that is accessed the lock selector code choses the lock of the deferred base. This causes unlocked access to the standard base and in case the timer is removed it does not clear the pending flag in the standard base bitmap which causes get_next_timer_interrupt() to return bogus values. To prevent that, the deferrable timers must be enqueued in the deferrable base, even when base::nohz_active is not set. Those deferrable timers also need to be expired unconditional.

2017-11-12timers: Add a function to start/reduce a timerDavid Howells
Add a function, similar to mod_timer(), that will start a timer if it isn't running and will modify it if it is running and has an expiry time longer than the new time. If the timer is running with an expiry time that's the same or sooner, no change is made. The function looks like: int timer_reduce(struct timer_list *timer, unsigned long expires); This can be used by code such as networking code to make it easier to share a timer for multiple timeouts. For instance, in upcoming AF_RXRPC code, the rxrpc_call struct will maintain a number of timeouts: unsigned long ack_at; unsigned long resend_at; unsigned long ping_at; unsigned long expect_rx_by; unsigned long expect_req_by; unsigned long expect_term_by; each of which is set independently of the others. With timer reduction available, when the code needs to set one of the timeouts, it only needs to look at that timeout and then call timer_reduce() to modify the timer, starting it or bringing it forward if necessary. There is no need to refer to the other timeouts to see which is earliest and no need to take any lock other than, potentially, the timer lock inside timer_reduce(). Note, that this does not protect against concurrent invocations of any of the timer functions. As an example, the expect_rx_by timeout above, which terminates a call if we don't get a packet from the server within a certain time window, would be set something like this: unsigned long now = jiffies; unsigned long expect_rx_by = now + packet_receive_timeout; WRITE_ONCE(call->expect_rx_by, expect_rx_by); timer_reduce(&call->timer, expect_rx_by); The timer service code (which might, say, be in a work function) would then check all the timeouts to see which, if any, had triggered, deal with those: t = READ_ONCE(call->ack_at); if (time_after_eq(now, t)) { cmpxchg(&call->ack_at, t, now + MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET); set_bit(RXRPC_CALL_EV_ACK, &call->events); } and then restart the timer if necessary by finding the soonest timeout that hasn't yet passed and then calling timer_reduce(). The disadvantage of doing things this way rather than comparing the timers each time and calling mod_timer() is that you *will* take timer events unless you can finish what you're doing and delete the timer in time. The advantage of doing things this way is that you don't need to use a lock to work out when the next timer should be set, other than the timer's own lock - which you might not have to take.

2017-10-18timers: Avoid an unnecessary iteration in __run_timers()Zhenzhong Duan
If the base clock is behind jiffies in the soft irq expiry code then the next timer is retrieved by get_next_timer_interrupt() to avoid incrementing base clock one by one. If the next timer interrupt is past current jiffies then the base clock is set to jiffies - 1. At the call site this is incremented and another iteration through the expiry loop is executed which checks empty hash buckets. That's a pointless excercise because it's already known that the next timer is past jiffies. Set the base clock in that case to jiffies directly so it gets incremented to jiffies + 1 at the call site resulting in immediate termination of the expiry loop.

2017-08-24timers: Fix excessive granularity of new timers after a nohz idleNicholas Piggin
When a timer base is idle, it is forwarded when a new timer is added to ensure that granularity does not become excessive. When not idle, the timer tick is expected to increment the base. However there are several problems: - If an existing timer is modified, the base is forwarded only after the index is calculated. - The base is not forwarded by add_timer_on. - There is a window after a timer is restarted from a nohz idle, after it is marked not-idle and before the timer tick on this CPU, where a timer may be added but the ancient base does not get forwarded. These result in excessive granularity (a 1 jiffy timeout can blow out to 100s of jiffies), which cause the rcu lockup detector to trigger, among other things. Fix this by keeping track of whether the timer base has been idle since it was last run or forwarded, and if so then forward it before adding a new timer. There is still a case where mod_timer optimises the case of a pending timer mod with the same expiry time, where the timer can see excessive granularity relative to the new, shorter interval. A comment is added, but it's not changed because it is an important fastpath for networking. This has been tested and found to fix the RCU softlockup messages. Testing was also done with tracing to measure requested versus achieved wakeup latencies for all non-deferrable timers in an idle system (with no lockup watchdogs running). Wakeup latency relative to absolute latency is calculated (note this suffers from round-up skew at low absolute times) and analysed: max avg std upstream 506.0 1.20 4.68 patched 2.0 1.08 0.15 The bug was noticed due to the lockup detector Kconfig changes dropping it out of people's .configs and resulting in larger base clk skew When the lockup detectors are enabled, no CPU can go idle for longer than 4 seconds, which limits the granularity errors. Sub-optimal timer behaviour is observable on a smaller scale in that case: max avg std upstream 9.0 1.05 0.19 patched 2.0 1.04 0.11 Fixes: Fixes: a683f390b93f ("timers: Forward the wheel clock whenever possible") Signed-off-by: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Tested-by: Jonathan Cameron <Jonathan.Cameron@huawei.com> Tested-by: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Cc: dzickus@redhat.com Cc: sfr@canb.auug.org.au Cc: mpe@ellerman.id.au Cc: Stephen Boyd <sboyd@codeaurora.org> Cc: linuxarm@huawei.com Cc: abdhalee@linux.vnet.ibm.com Cc: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org> Cc: akpm@linux-foundation.org Cc: paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com Cc: torvalds@linux-foundation.org Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170822084348.21436-1-npiggin@gmail.com

2016-11-16posix-timers: Make them configurableNicolas Pitre
Some embedded systems have no use for them. This removes about 25KB from the kernel binary size when configured out. Corresponding syscalls are routed to a stub logging the attempt to use those syscalls which should be enough of a clue if they were disabled without proper consideration. They are: timer_create, timer_gettime: timer_getoverrun, timer_settime, timer_delete, clock_adjtime, setitimer, getitimer, alarm. The clock_settime, clock_gettime, clock_getres and clock_nanosleep syscalls are replaced by simple wrappers compatible with CLOCK_REALTIME, CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_BOOTTIME only which should cover the vast majority of use cases with very little code.

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.

2016-10-26timers: Fix documentation for schedule_timeout() and similarDouglas Anderson
The documentation for schedule_timeout(), schedule_hrtimeout(), and schedule_hrtimeout_range() all claim that the routines couldn't possibly return early if the task state was TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE. This is simply not true since wake_up_process() will cause those routines to exit early. We cannot make schedule_[hr]timeout() loop until the timeout expires if the task state is uninterruptible because we have users which rely on the existing and designed behaviour. Make the documentation match the (correct) implementation. schedule_hrtimeout() returns -EINTR even when a uninterruptible task was woken up. This might look strange, but making the return code depend on the state is too much of an effort as it would affect all the call sites. There is no value in doing so, but we spell it out clearly in the documentation.
