Pull timer cleanups from Thomas Gleixner: "A treewide hrtimer timer cleanup hrtimers are initialized with hrtimer_init() and a subsequent store to the callback pointer. This turned out to be suboptimal for the upcoming Rust integration and is obviously a silly implementation to begin with. This cleanup replaces the hrtimer_init(T); T->function = cb; sequence with hrtimer_setup(T, cb); The conversion was done with Coccinelle and a few manual fixups. Once the conversion has completely landed in mainline, hrtimer_init() will be removed and the hrtimer::function becomes a private member" * tag 'timers-cleanups-2025-03-23' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (100 commits) wifi: rt2x00: Switch to use hrtimer_update_function() io_uring: Use helper function hrtimer_update_function() serial: xilinx_uartps: Use helper function hrtimer_update_function() ASoC: fsl: imx-pcm-fiq: Switch to use hrtimer_setup() RDMA: Switch to use hrtimer_setup() virtio: mem: Switch to use hrtimer_setup() drm/vmwgfx: Switch to use hrtimer_setup() drm/xe/oa: Switch to use hrtimer_setup() drm/vkms: Switch to use hrtimer_setup() drm/msm: Switch to use hrtimer_setup() drm/i915/request: Switch to use hrtimer_setup() drm/i915/uncore: Switch to use hrtimer_setup() drm/i915/pmu: Switch to use hrtimer_setup() drm/i915/perf: Switch to use hrtimer_setup() drm/i915/gvt: Switch to use hrtimer_setup() drm/i915/huc: Switch to use hrtimer_setup() drm/amdgpu: Switch to use hrtimer_setup() stm class: heartbeat: Switch to use hrtimer_setup() i2c: Switch to use hrtimer_setup() iio: Switch to use hrtimer_setup() ...

timerfd: Switch to use hrtimer_setup()

2025-02-18T09:32:33+00:00

hrtimer_setup() takes the callback function pointer as argument and initializes the timer completely. Replace hrtimer_init() and the open coded initialization of hrtimer::function with the new setup mechanism.

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner: "A rather large update for timekeeping and timers: - The final step to get rid of auto-rearming posix-timers posix-timers are currently auto-rearmed by the kernel when the signal of the timer is ignored so that the timer signal can be delivered once the corresponding signal is unignored. This requires to throttle the timer to prevent a DoS by small intervals and keeps the system pointlessly out of low power states for no value. This is a long standing non-trivial problem due to the lock order of posix-timer lock and the sighand lock along with life time issues as the timer and the sigqueue have different life time rules. Cure this by: - Embedding the sigqueue into the timer struct to have the same life time rules. Aside of that this also avoids the lookup of the timer in the signal delivery and rearm path as it's just a always valid container_of() now. - Queuing ignored timer signals onto a seperate ignored list. - Moving queued timer signals onto the ignored list when the signal is switched to SIG_IGN before it could be delivered. - Walking the ignored list when SIG_IGN is lifted and requeue the signals to the actual signal lists. This allows the signal delivery code to rearm the timer. This also required to consolidate the signal delivery rules so they are consistent across all situations. With that all self test scenarios finally succeed. - Core infrastructure for VFS multigrain timestamping This is required to allow the kernel to use coarse grained time stamps by default and switch to fine grained time stamps when inode attributes are actively observed via getattr(). These changes have been provided to the VFS tree as well, so that the VFS specific infrastructure could be built on top. - Cleanup and consolidation of the sleep() infrastructure - Move all sleep and timeout functions into one file - Rework udelay() and ndelay() into proper documented inline functions and replace the hardcoded magic numbers by proper defines. - Rework the fsleep() implementation to take the reality of the timer wheel granularity on different HZ values into account. Right now the boundaries are hard coded time ranges which fail to provide the requested accuracy on different HZ settings. - Update documentation for all sleep/timeout related functions and fix up stale documentation links all over the place - Fixup a few usage sites - Rework of timekeeping and adjtimex(2) to prepare for multiple PTP clocks A system can have multiple PTP clocks which are participating in seperate and independent PTP clock domains. So far the kernel only considers the PTP clock which is based on CLOCK TAI relevant as that's the clock which drives the timekeeping adjustments via the various user space daemons through adjtimex(2). The non TAI based clock domains are accessible via the file descriptor based posix clocks, but their usability is very limited. They can't be accessed fast as they always go all the way out to the hardware and they cannot be utilized in the kernel itself. As Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) gains traction it is required to provide fast user and kernel space access to these clocks. The approach taken is to utilize the timekeeping and adjtimex(2) infrastructure to provide this access in a similar way how the kernel provides access to clock MONOTONIC, REALTIME etc. Instead of creating a duplicated infrastructure this rework converts timekeeping and adjtimex(2) into generic functionality which operates on pointers to data structures instead of using static variables. This allows to provide time accessors and adjtimex(2) functionality for the independent PTP clocks in a subsequent step. - Consolidate hrtimer initialization hrtimers are set up by initializing the data structure and then seperately setting the callback function for historical reasons. That's an extra unnecessary step and makes Rust support less straight forward than it should be. Provide a new set of hrtimer_setup*() functions and convert the core code and a few usage sites of the less frequently used interfaces over. The bulk of the htimer_init() to hrtimer_setup() conversion is already prepared and scheduled for the next merge window. - Drivers: - Ensure that the global timekeeping clocksource is utilizing the cluster 0 timer on MIPS multi-cluster systems. Otherwise CPUs on different clusters use their cluster specific clocksource which is not guaranteed to be synchronized with other clusters. - Mostly boring cleanups, fixes, improvements and code movement" * tag 'timers-core-2024-11-18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (140 commits) posix-timers: Fix spurious warning on double enqueue versus do_exit() clocksource/drivers/arm_arch_timer: Use of_property_present() for non-boolean properties clocksource/drivers/gpx: Remove redundant casts clocksource/drivers/timer-ti-dm: Fix child node refcount handling dt-bindings: timer: actions,owl-timer: convert to YAML clocksource/drivers/ralink: Add Ralink System Tick Counter driver clocksource/drivers/mips-gic-timer: Always use cluster 0 counter as clocksource clocksource/drivers/timer-ti-dm: Don't fail probe if int not found clocksource/drivers:sp804: Make user selectable clocksource/drivers/dw_apb: Remove unused dw_apb_clockevent functions hrtimers: Delete hrtimer_init_on_stack() alarmtimer: Switch to use hrtimer_setup() and hrtimer_setup_on_stack() io_uring: Switch to use hrtimer_setup_on_stack() sched/idle: Switch to use hrtimer_setup_on_stack() hrtimers: Delete hrtimer_init_sleeper_on_stack() wait: Switch to use hrtimer_setup_sleeper_on_stack() timers: Switch to use hrtimer_setup_sleeper_on_stack() net: pktgen: Switch to use hrtimer_setup_sleeper_on_stack() futex: Switch to use hrtimer_setup_sleeper_on_stack() fs/aio: Switch to use hrtimer_setup_sleeper_on_stack() ...

timerfd: switch to CLASS(fd)

2024-11-03T06:28:06+00:00

Fold timerfd_fget() into both callers to have fdget() and fdput() in the same scope. Could be done in different ways, but this is probably the smallest solution. Reviewed-by: Christian Brauner Signed-off-by: Al Viro

introduce fd_file(), convert all accessors to it.

2024-08-13T02:00:43+00:00

For any changes of struct fd representation we need to turn existing accesses to fields into calls of wrappers. Accesses to struct fd::flags are very few (3 in linux/file.h, 1 in net/socket.c, 3 in fs/overlayfs/file.c and 3 more in explicit initializers). Those can be dealt with in the commit converting to new layout; accesses to struct fd::file are too many for that. This commit converts (almost) all of f.file to fd_file(f). It's not entirely mechanical ('file' is used as a member name more than just in struct fd) and it does not even attempt to distinguish the uses in pointer context from those in boolean context; the latter will be eventually turned into a separate helper (fd_empty()). NOTE: mass conversion to fd_empty(), tempting as it might be, is a bad idea; better do that piecewise in commit that convert from fdget...() to CLASS(...).

timerfd: convert to ->read_iter()

2024-04-10T22:23:02+00:00

Switch timerfd to using fops->read_iter(), so it can support not just O_NONBLOCK but IOCB_NOWAIT as well. With the latter, users like io_uring interact with timerfds a lot better, as they can be driven purely by the poll trigger. Manually get and install the required fd, so that FMODE_NOWAIT can be set before the file is installed into the file table. No functional changes intended in this patch, it's purely a straight conversion to using the read iterator method. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

timerfd: Provide timerfd_resume()

2021-08-10T15:57:22+00:00

Resuming timekeeping is a clock-was-set event and uses the clock-was-set notification mechanism. This is in the way of making the clock-was-set update for hrtimers selective so unnecessary IPIs are avoided when a CPU base does not have timers queued which are affected by the clock setting. Provide a seperate timerfd_resume() interface so the resume logic and the clock-was-set mechanism can be distangled in the core code.
