The init functions do not return any error. They behave as the following: - panic, thus leading to a kernel crash while another timer may work and make the system boot up correctly or - print an error and let the caller unaware if the state of the system Change that by converting the init functions to return an error conforming to the CLOCKSOURCE_OF_RET prototype. Proper error handling (rollback, errno value) will be changed later case by case, thus this change just return back an error or success in the init function.

Currently, the clksrc-probe is not able to handle any error from the init functions. There are different issues with the current code: - the code is duplicated in the init functions by writing error - every driver tends to panic in its own init function - counting the number of clocksources is not reliable This patch adds another table to store the functions returning an error. The table is temporary while we convert all the drivers to return an error and will disappear. Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano <daniel.lezcano@linaro.org>

The macro OF_DECLARE_1 expect a void (*func)(struct device_node *) while the OF_DECLARE_2 expect a int (*func)(struct device_node *, struct device_node *). The second one allows to pass an init function returning a value, which make possible to call the functions in the table and check the return value in order to catch at a higher level the errors and handle them from there instead of doing a panic in each driver (well at least this is the case for the clkevt). Unfortunately the OF_DECLARE_1 does not allow that and that lead to some code duplication and crappyness in the drivers. The OF_DECLARE_1 is used by all the clk drivers and the clocksource/clockevent drivers. It is not possible to do the change in one shot as we have to change all the init functions. The OF_DECLARE_2 specifies an init function prototype with two parameters with the node and its parent. The latter won't be used, ever, in the timer drivers. Introduce a OF_DECLARE_1_RET macro to be used, and hopefully we can smoothly and iteratively change the users of OF_DECLARE_1 to use the new macro instead.

Add clocksource and clockevent driver from dual RPS timer. The HW provides a dual one-shot or periodic 24bit timers, the drivers set the first one as tick event source and the second as a continuous scheduler clock source. The timer can use 1, 16 or 256 as pre-dividers, thus the clocksource uses 16 by default.

The tstats_show() function prints a ktime_t variable by converting it to struct timespec first. The algorithm is ok, but we want to stop using timespec in general because of the 32-bit time_t overflow problem. This changes the code to use struct timespec64, without any functional change.

udelay_test_single() uses ktime_get_ts() to get two timespec values and calculate the difference between them, while udelay_test_show() uses the same to printk() the current monotonic time. Both of these are y2038 safe on all machines, but we want to get rid of struct timespec anyway, so this converts the code to use ktime_get_ns() and ktime_get_ts64() respectively.

The user notices the problem in a raw and real time drift, calling clock_gettime with CLOCK_REALTIME / CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW on a system with no ntp correction taking place (no ntpd or ptp stuff running). The problem is, that old_vsyscall_fixup adds an extra 1ns even though xtime_nsec is already held in full nsecs and the remainder in this case is 0. Do the rounding up buisness only if needed.

timerfd gives processes a way to set wake alarms, but unlike timers made using timer_create, timerfds don't check whether the process has CAP_WAKE_ALARM before setting alarm-time timers. CAP_WAKE_ALARM is supposed to gate this behavior and so it makes sense that we should deny permission to create such timerfds if the process doesn't have this capability.

The /dev/ptmx device node is changed to lookup the directory entry "pts" in the same directory as the /dev/ptmx device node was opened in. If there is a "pts" entry and that entry is a devpts filesystem /dev/ptmx uses that filesystem. Otherwise the open of /dev/ptmx fails. The DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES configuration option is removed, so that userspace can now safely depend on each mount of devpts creating a new instance of the filesystem. Each mount of devpts is now a separate and equal filesystem. Reserved ttys are now available to all instances of devpts where the mounter is in the initial mount namespace. A new vfs helper path_pts is introduced that finds a directory entry named "pts" in the directory of the passed in path, and changes the passed in path to point to it. The helper path_pts uses a function path_parent_directory that was factored out of follow_dotdot. In the implementation of devpts: - devpts_mnt is killed as it is no longer meaningful if all mounts of devpts are equal. - pts_sb_from_inode is replaced by just inode->i_sb as all cached inodes in the tty layer are now from the devpts filesystem. - devpts_add_ref is rolled into the new function devpts_ptmx. And the unnecessary inode hold is removed. - devpts_del_ref is renamed devpts_release and reduced to just a deacrivate_super. - The newinstance mount option continues to be accepted but is now ignored. In devpts_fs.h definitions for when !CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS are removed as they are never used. Documentation/filesystems/devices.txt is updated to describe the current situation. This has been verified to work properly on openwrt-15.05, centos5, centos6, centos7, debian-6.0.2, debian-7.9, debian-8.2, ubuntu-14.04.3, ubuntu-15.10, fedora23, magia-5, mint-17.3, opensuse-42.1, slackware-14.1, gentoo-20151225 (13.0?), archlinux-2015-12-01. With the caveat that on centos6 and on slackware-14.1 that there wind up being two instances of the devpts filesystem mounted on /dev/pts, the lower copy does not end up getting used.

Syscalls should never crash programs, but instead return EFAULT. The IIR register contains the executed instruction, which disassebles into "ldw 0(sr3,r5),r9". This load-word instruction is part of __get_user() which tried to read the word at %r5/IOR (0xfa6f7fff). This means the unaligned handler jumped in. The unaligned handler is able to emulate all ldw instructions, but it fails if it fails to read the source e.g. because of page fault. The following program reproduces the problem: #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/syscall.h> #include <sys/mman.h> int main(void) { /* allocate 8k */ char *ptr = mmap(NULL, 2*4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0); /* free second half (upper 4k) and make it invalid. */ munmap(ptr+4096, 4096); /* syscall where first int is unaligned and clobbers into invalid memory region */ /* syscall should return EFAULT */ return syscall(__NR_clock_adjtime, 0, ptr+4095); } To fix this issue we simply need to check if the faulting instruction address is in the exception fixup table when the unaligned handler failed. If it is, call the fixup routine instead of crashing. While looking at the unaligned handler I found another issue as well: The target register should not be modified if the handler was unsuccessful.

Mikulas Patocka authored
This patch fixes backtrace on PA-RISC There were several problems: 1) The code that decodes instructions handles instructions that subtract from the stack pointer incorrectly. If the instruction subtracts the number X from the stack pointer the code increases the frame size by (0x100000000-X). This results in invalid accesses to memory and recursive page faults. 2) Because gcc reorders blocks, handling instructions that subtract from the frame pointer is incorrect. For example, this function int f(int a) { if (__builtin_expect(a, 1)) return a; g(); return a; } is compiled in such a way, that the code that decreases the stack pointer for the first "return a" is placed before the code for "g" call. If we recognize this decrement, we mistakenly believe that the frame size for the "g" call is zero. To fix problems 1) and 2), the patch doesn't recognize instructions that decrease the stack pointer at all. To further safeguard the unwind code against nonsense values, we don't allow frame size larger than Total_frame_size. 3) The backtrace is not locked. If stack dump races with module unload, invalid table can be accessed. This patch adds a spinlock when processing module tables. Note, that for correct backtrace, you need recent binutils. Binutils 2.18 from Debian 5 produce garbage unwind tables. Binutils 2.21 work better (it sometimes forgets function frames, but at least it doesn't generate garbage).
