2020-04-27sysctl: pass kernel pointers to ->proc_handlerChristoph Hellwig1-2/+1
Instead of having all the sysctl handlers deal with user pointers, which is rather hairy in terms of the BPF interaction, copy the input to and from userspace in common code. This also means that the strings are always NUL-terminated by the common code, making the API a little bit safer. As most handler just pass through the data to one of the common handlers a lot of the changes are mechnical.

2020-02-21timer: Use hlist_unhashed_lockless() in timer_pending()Eric Dumazet1-1/+1
The timer_pending() function is mostly used in lockless contexts, so Without proper annotations, KCSAN might detect a data-race [1]. Using hlist_unhashed_lockless() instead of hand-coding it seems appropriate (as suggested by Paul E. McKenney).

2019-08-01timers: Prepare support for PREEMPT_RTAnna-Maria Gleixner1-1/+1
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.

2019-07-07timer: Document TIMER_PINNEDPeter Xu1-8/+19
The flag hints the user that the pinned timers will always be run on a static CPU (because that should be what "pinned" means...) but that's not the truth, at least with the current implementation. For example, currently if a pinned timer is set up but later mod_timer() upon the pinned timer is invoked, mod_timer() will still try to queue the timer on the current processor and migrate the timer if necessary. Document it a bit with the definition of TIMER_PINNED so that all future users will use it correctly.

2017-12-30timers: Reinitialize per cpu bases on hotplugThomas Gleixner1-1/+3
The timer wheel bases are not (re)initialized on CPU hotplug. That leaves them with a potentially stale clk and next_expiry valuem, which can cause trouble then the CPU is plugged. Add a prepare callback which forwards the clock, sets next_expiry to far in the future and reset the control flags to a known state. Set base->must_forward_clk so the first timer which is queued will try to forward the clock to current jiffies. Fixes: 500462a9de65 ("timers: Switch to a non-cascading wheel") Reported-by: Paul E.

2017-11-12timers: Add a function to start/reduce a timerDavid Howells1-0/+1
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.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+1
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

2017-09-28timer: Prepare to change timer callback argument typeKees Cook1-0/+14
Modern kernel callback systems pass the structure associated with a given callback to the callback function. The timer callback remains one of the legacy cases where an arbitrary unsigned long argument continues to be passed as the callback argument. This has several problems: - This bloats the timer_list structure with a normally redundant .data field. - No type checking is being performed, forcing callbacks to do explicit type casts of the unsigned long argument into the object that was passed, rather than using container_of(), as done in most of the other callback infrastructure. - Neighboring buffer overflows can overwrite both the .function and the .data field, providing attackers with a way to elevate from a buffer overflow into a simplistic ROP-like mechanism that allows calling arbitrary functions with a controlled first argument. - For future Control Flow Integrity work, this creates a unique function prototype for timer callbacks, instead of allowing them to continue to be clustered with other void functions that take a single unsigned long argument. This adds a new timer initialization API, which will ultimately replace the existing setup_timer(), setup_{deferrable,pinned,etc}_timer() family, named timer_setup() (to mirror hrtimer_setup(), making instances of its use much easier to grep for). In order to support the migration of existing timers into the new callback arguments, timer_setup() casts its arguments to the existing legacy types, and explicitly passes the timer pointer as the legacy data argument. Once all setup_*timer() callers have been replaced with timer_setup(), the casts can be removed, and the data argument can be dropped with the timer expiration code changed to just pass the timer to the callback directly. Since the regular pattern of using container_of() during local variable declaration repeats the need for the variable type declaration to be included, this adds a helper modeled after other from_*() helpers that wrap container_of(), named from_timer(). This helper uses typeof(*variable), removing the type redundancy and minimizing the need for line wraps in forthcoming conversions from "unsigned data long" to "struct timer_list *" in the timer callbacks: -void callback(unsigned long data) +void callback(struct timer_list *t) { - struct some_data_structure *local = (struct some_data_structure *)data; + struct some_data_structure *local = from_timer(local, t, timer); Finally, in order to support the handful of timer users that perform open-coded assignments of the .function (and .data) fields, provide cast macros (TIMER_FUNC_TYPE and TIMER_DATA_TYPE) that can be used temporarily. Once conversion has been completed, these can be globally trivially removed.

2016-07-07timers: Switch to a non-cascading wheelThomas Gleixner1-0/+2
The current timer wheel has some drawbacks: 1) Cascading: Cascading can be an unbound operation and is completely pointless in most cases because the vast majority of the timer wheel timers are canceled or rearmed before expiration. (They are used as timeout safeguards, not as real timers to measure time.) 2) No fast lookup of the next expiring timer: In NOHZ scenarios the first timer soft interrupt after a long NOHZ period must fast forward the base time to the current value of jiffies. As we have no way to find the next expiring timer fast, the code loops linearly and increments the base time one by one and checks for expired timers in each step. This causes unbound overhead spikes exactly in the moment when we should wake up as fast as possible. After a thorough analysis of real world data gathered on laptops, workstations, webservers and other machines (thanks Chris!) I came to the conclusion that the current 'classic' timer wheel implementation can be modified to address the above issues. The vast majority of timer wheel timers is canceled or rearmed before expiry. Most of them are timeouts for networking and other I/O tasks. The nature of timeouts is to catch the exception from normal operation (TCP ack timed out, disk does not respond, etc.). For these kinds of timeouts the accuracy of the timeout is not really a concern. Timeouts are very often approximate worst-case values and in case the timeout fires, we already waited for a long time and performance is down the drain already. The few timers which actually expire can be split into two categories: 1) Short expiry times which expect halfways accurate expiry 2) Long term expiry times are inaccurate today already due to the batching which is done for NOHZ automatically and also via the set_timer_slack() API. So for long term expiry timers we can avoid the cascading property and just leave them in the less granular outer wheels until expiry or cancelation. Timers which are armed with a timeout larger than the wheel capacity are no longer cascaded. We expire them with the longest possible timeout (6+ days). We have not observed such timeouts in our data collection, but at least we handle them, applying the rule of the least surprise. To avoid extending the wheel levels for HZ=1000 so we can accomodate the longest observed timeouts (5 days in the network conntrack code) we reduce the first level granularity on HZ=1000 to 4ms, which effectively is the same as the HZ=250 behaviour. From our data analysis there is nothing which relies on that 1ms granularity and as a side effect we get better batching and timer locality for the networking code as well. Contrary to the classic wheel the granularity of the next wheel is not the capacity of the first wheel. The granularities of the wheels are in the currently chosen setting 8 times the granularity of the previous wheel. So for HZ=250 we end up with the following granularity levels: Level Offset Granularity Range 0 0 4 ms 0 ms - 252 ms 1 64 32 ms 256 ms - 2044 ms (256ms - ~2s) 2 128 256 ms 2048 ms - 16380 ms (~2s - ~16s) 3 192 2048 ms (~2s) 16384 ms - 131068 ms (~16s - ~2m) 4 256 16384 ms (~16s) 131072 ms - 1048572 ms (~2m - ~17m) 5 320 131072 ms (~2m) 1048576 ms - 8388604 ms (~17m - ~2h) 6 384 1048576 ms (~17m) 8388608 ms - 67108863 ms (~2h - ~18h) 7 448 8388608 ms (~2h) 67108864 ms - 536870911 ms (~18h - ~6d) That's a worst case inaccuracy of 12.5% for the timers which are queued at the beginning of a level. So the new wheel concept addresses the old issues: 1) Cascading is avoided completely 2) By keeping the timers in the bucket until expiry/cancelation we can track the buckets which have timers enqueued in a bucket bitmap and therefore can look up the next expiring timer very fast and O(1). A further benefit of the concept is that the slack calculation which is done on every timer start is no longer necessary because the granularity levels provide natural batching already. Our extensive testing with various loads did not show any performance degradation vs. the current wheel implementation. This patch does not address the 'fast lookup' issue as we wanted to make sure that there is no regression introduced by the wheel redesign. The optimizations are in follow up patches. This patch contains fixes from Anna-Maria Gleixner and Richard Cochran.

This flag must be set at initialization time and the timer APIs recognize the flag.

2015-06-19timer: Reduce timer migration overhead if disabledThomas Gleixner1-0/+9
Eric reported that the timer_migration sysctl is not really nice performance wise as it needs to check at every timer insertion whether the feature is enabled or not. Further the check does not live in the timer code, so we have an extra function call which checks an extra cache line to figure out that it is disabled. We can do better and store that information in the per cpu (hr)timer bases. I pondered to use a static key, but that's a nightmare to update from the nohz code and the timer base cache line is hot anyway when we select a timer base. The old logic enabled the timer migration unconditionally if CONFIG_NO_HZ was set even if nohz was disabled on the kernel command line. With this modification, we start off with migration disabled. The user visible sysctl is still set to enabled. If the kernel switches to NOHZ migration is enabled, if the user did not disable it via the sysctl prior to the switch. If nohz=off is on the kernel command line, migration stays disabled no matter what.

2015-06-19timer: Replace timer base by a cpu indexThomas Gleixner1-22/+16
Instead of storing a pointer to the per cpu tvec_base we can simply cache a CPU index in the timer_list and use that to get hold of the correct per cpu tvec_base. This is only used in lock_timer_base() and the slightly larger code is peanuts versus the spinlock operation and the d-cache foot print of the timer wheel. Aside of that this allows to get rid of following nuisances: - boot_tvec_base That statically allocated 4k bss data is just kept around so the timer has a home when it gets statically initialized. It serves no other purpose. With the CPU index we assign the timer to CPU0 at static initialization time and therefor can avoid the whole boot_tvec_base dance. That also simplifies the init code, which just can use the per cpu base. Before: text data bss dec hex filename 17491 9201 4160 30852 7884 ../build/kernel/time/timer.o After: text data bss dec hex filename 17440 9193 0 26633 6809 ../build/kernel/time/timer.o - Overloading the base pointer with various flags The CPU index has enough space to hold the flags (deferrable, irqsafe) so we can get rid of the extra masking and bit fiddling with the base pointer. As a benefit we reduce the size of struct timer_list on 64 bit machines. 4 - 8 bytes, a size reduction up to 15% per struct timer_list, which is a real win as we have tons of them embedded in other structs. This changes also the newly added deferrable printout of the timer start trace point to capture and print all timer->flags, which allows us to decode the target cpu of the timer as well. We might have used bitfields for this, but that would change the static initializers and the init function for no value to accomodate big endian bitfields.

2012-08-21timer: Implement TIMER_IRQSAFETejun Heo1-4/+12
Timer internals are protected with irq-safe locks but timer execution isn't, so a timer being dequeued for execution and its execution aren't atomic against IRQs. This makes it impossible to wait for its completion from IRQ handlers and difficult to shoot down a timer from IRQ handlers. This issue caused some issues for delayed_work interface. Because there's no way to reliably shoot down delayed_work->timer from IRQ handlers, __cancel_delayed_work() can't share the logic to steal the target delayed_work with cancel_delayed_work_sync(), and can only steal delayed_works which are on queued on timer. Similarly, the pending mod_delayed_work() can't be used from IRQ handlers. This patch adds a new timer flag TIMER_IRQSAFE, which makes the timer to be executed without enabling IRQ after dequeueing such that its dequeueing and execution are atomic against IRQ handlers. This makes it safe to wait for the timer's completion from IRQ handlers, for example, using del_timer_sync(). It can never be executing on the local CPU and if executing on other CPUs it won't be interrupted until done. This will enable simplifying delayed_work cancel/mod interface.

2012-08-21timer: Clean up timer initializersTejun Heo1-84/+39
Over time, timer initializers became messy with unnecessarily duplicated code which are inconsistently spread across timer.h and timer.c. This patch cleans up timer initializers. * timer.c::__init_timer() is renamed to do_init_timer(). * __TIMER_INITIALIZER() added. It takes @flags and all initializers are wrappers around it. * init_timer[_on_stack]_key() now take @flags. * __init_timer[_on_stack]() added. They take @flags and all init macros are wrappers around them. * __setup_timer[_on_stack]() added. It uses __init_timer() and takes @flags. All setup macros are wrappers around the two. Note that this patch doesn't add missing init/setup combinations - e.g. init_timer_deferrable_on_stack(). Adding missing ones is trivial.

2012-08-21timer: Relocate declarations of init_timer_on_stack_key()Tejun Heo1-15/+15
init_timer_on_stack_key() is used by init macro definitions. Move init_timer_on_stack_key() and destroy_timer_on_stack() declarations above init macro defs. This will make the next init cleanup patch easier to read.

2012-08-21timer: Generalize timer->base flags handlingTejun Heo1-2/+4
To prepare for addition of another flag, generalize timer->base flags handling. * Rename from TBASE_*_FLAG to TIMER_* and make them LU constants. * Define and use TIMER_FLAG_MASK for flags masking so that multiple flags can be handled correctly. * Don't dereference timer->base directly even if !tbase_get_deferrable(). All two such places are already passed in @base, so use it instead. * Make sure tvec_base's alignment is large enough for timer->base flags using BUILD_BUG_ON().
