commit 0ff53d09 sets the next tick interrupt to the last jiffies update, i.e. in the past, because the forward operation is invoked before the set operation. There is no resulting damage (yet), but we get an extra pointless tick interrupt. Revert the order so we get the next tick interrupt in the future.

A couple of functions in kernel/time/tick-sched.c are only relevant for oneshot timer mode, i.e. when hires-timers or nohz mode are enabled. If both are disabled, we get gcc warnings about them: kernel/time/tick-sched.c:98:16: warning: 'tick_init_jiffy_update' defined but not used [-Wunused-function] static ktime_t tick_init_jiffy_update(void) ^ kernel/time/tick-sched.c:112:13: warning: 'tick_sched_do_timer' defined but not used [-Wunused-function] static void tick_sched_do_timer(ktime_t now) ^ kernel/time/tick-sched.c:134:13: warning: 'tick_sched_handle' defined but not used [-Wunused-function] static void tick_sched_handle(struct tick_sched *ts, struct pt_regs *regs) ^ This encloses the whole set of functions in an appropriate ifdef to avoid the warning and to make it clearer when they are used.

Recently, in commit 37cf4dc3 I forgot to check if the timeval being passed was actually a timespec (as is signaled with ADJ_NANO). This resulted in that patch breaking ADJ_SETOFFSET users who set ADJ_NANO, by rejecting valid timespecs that were compared with valid timeval ranges. This patch addresses this by checking for the ADJ_NANO flag and using the timepsec check instead in that case.

Helge reported that a relative timer can return a remaining time larger than the programmed relative time on parisc and other architectures which have CONFIG_TIME_LOW_RES set. This happens because we add a jiffie to the resulting expiry time to prevent short timeouts. Use the new function hrtimer_expires_remaining_adjusted() to calculate the remaining time. It takes that extra added time into account for relative timers.

If CONFIG_TIME_LOW_RES is enabled we add a jiffie to the relative timeout to prevent short sleeps, but we do not account for that in interfaces which retrieve the remaining time. Helge observed that timerfd can return a remaining time larger than the relative timeout. That's not expected and breaks userland test programs. Store the information that the timer was armed relative and provide functions to adjust the remaining time. To avoid bloating the hrtimer struct make state a u8, which as a bonus results in better code on x86 at least.

Roman Volkov authored
The vt8500 clocksource driver declares itself as capable to handle the minimum delay of 4 cycles by passing the value into clockevents_config_and_register(). The vt8500_timer_set_next_event() requires the passed cycles value to be at least 16. The impact is that userspace hangs in nanosleep() calls with small delay intervals. This problem is reproducible in Linux 4.2 starting from: c6eb3f70 ('hrtimer: Get rid of hrtimer softirq') From Russell King, more detailed explanation: "It's a speciality of the StrongARM/PXA hardware. It takes a certain number of OSCR cycles for the value written to hit the compare registers. So, if a very small delta is written (eg, the compare register is written with a value of OSCR + 1), the OSCR will have incremented past this value before it hits the underlying hardware. The result is, that you end up waiting a very long time for the OSCR to wrap before the event fires. So, we introduce a check in set_next_event() to detect this and return -ETIME if the calculated delta is too small, which causes the generic clockevents code to retry after adding the min_delta specified in clockevents_config_and_register() to the current time value. min_delta must be sufficient that we don't re-trip the -ETIME check - if we do, we will return -ETIME, forward the next event time, try to set it, return -ETIME again, and basically lock the system up. So, min_delta must be larger than the check inside set_next_event(). A factor of two was chosen to ensure that this situation would never occur. The PXA code worked on PXA systems for years, and I'd suggest no one changes this mechanism without access to a wide range of PXA systems, otherwise they're risking breakage."

The posix_clock_poll function is supposed to return a bit mask of POLLxxx values. However, in case the hardware has disappeared (due to hot plugging for example) this code returns -ENODEV in a futile attempt to throw an error at the file descriptor level. The kernel's file_operations interface does not accept such error codes from the poll method. Instead, this function aught to return POLLERR. The value -ENODEV does, in fact, contain the POLLERR bit (and almost all the other POLLxxx bits as well), but only by chance. This patch fixes code to return a proper bit mask. Credit goes to Markus Elfring for pointing out the suspicious signed/unsigned mismatch.

Pull ftrace/recordmcount fix from Steven Rostedt: "Russell King was reporting lots of warnings when he compiled his kernel with ftrace enabled. With some investigation it was discovered that it was his compile setup. He was using ccache with hard links, which allowed recordmcount to process the same .o twice. When this happens, recordmcount will detect that it was already done and give a warning about it. Russell fixed this by having recordmcount detect that the object file has more than one hard link, and if it does, it unlinks the object file after it maps it and processes then. This appears to fix the issue. As you did not like the fact that recordmcount modified the file in place and thought that it should do the modifications in memory and then write it out to disk and move it over the old file to prevent other more subtle issues like the one above, a second patch is added on top of Russell's to do just that. Luckily the original code had write and lseek wrappers that I was able to modify to not do inplace writes, but simply keep track of the changes made in memory. When a write is made, a "update" flag is set, and at the end of processing, if the update is set, then it writes the file with changes out to a new file, and then renames it over the original one. The file descriptor is still passed to the write and lseek wrappers because removing that would cause the change to be more intrusive. That can be removed in a follow up cleanup patch that can wait till the next merge window" * tag 'trace-v4.4-rc4-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: ftrace/scripts: Have recordmcount copy the object file scripts: recordmcount: break hardlinks

When sysrq is triggered from console, serial driver for SUN hypervisor console receives a console break and enables the sysrq. It expects a valid sysrq char following with break. Meanwhile if driver receives 'NULL' ASCII char then it disables sysrq and sysrq handler will never be invoked. This fix skips calling uart sysrq handler when 'NULL' is received while sysrq is enabled.

Short story: Exception handlers used by some copy_to_user() and copy_from_user() functions do not diligently clean up floating point register usage, and this can result in a user process seeing invalid values in floating point registers. This sometimes makes the process fail. Long story: Several cpu-specific (NG4, NG2, U1, U3) memcpy functions use floating point registers and VIS alignaddr/faligndata to accelerate data copying when source and dest addresses don't align well. Linux uses a lazy scheme for saving floating point registers; It is not done upon entering the kernel since it's a very expensive operation. Rather, it is done only when needed. If the kernel ends up not using FP regs during the course of some trap or system call, then it can return to user space without saving or restoring them. The various memcpy functions begin their FP code with VISEntry (or a variation thereof), which saves the FP regs. They conclude their FP code with VISExit (or a variation) which essentially marks the FP regs "clean", ie, they contain no unsaved values. fprs.FPRS_FEF is turned off so that a lazy restore will be triggered when/if the user process accesses floating point regs again. The bug is that the user copy variants of memcpy, copy_from_user() and copy_to_user(), employ an exception handling mechanism to detect faults when accessing user space addresses, and when this handler is invoked, an immediate return from the function is forced, and VISExit is not executed, thus leaving the fprs register in an indeterminate state, but often with fprs.FPRS_FEF set and one or more dirty bits. This results in a return to user space with invalid values in the FP regs, and since fprs.FPRS_FEF is on, no lazy restore occurs. This bug affects copy_to_user() and copy_from_user() for NG4, NG2, U3, and U1. All are fixed by using a new exception handler for those loads and stores that are done during the time between VISEnter and VISExit. n.b. In NG4memcpy, the problematic code can be triggered by a copy size greater than 128 bytes and an unaligned source address. This bug is known to be the cause of random user process memory corruptions while perf is running with the callgraph option (ie, perf record -g). This occurs because perf uses copy_from_user() to read user stacks, and may fault when it follows a stack frame pointer off to an invalid page. Validation checks on the stack address just obscure the underlying problem.

There have been several reports of random processes being killed with a bus error or segfault during userspace stack walking in perf. One of the root causes of this problem is an asynchronous modification to thread_info fault_address and fault_code, which stems from a perf counter interrupt arriving during kernel processing of a "benign" fault, such as a TSB miss. Since perf_callchain_user() invokes copy_from_user() to read user stacks, a fault is not only possible, but probable. Validity checks on the stack address merely cover up the problem and reduce its frequency. The solution here is to save and restore fault_address and fault_code in perf_callchain_user() so that the benign fault handler is not disturbed by a perf interrupt.

When an interrupt (such as a perf counter interrupt) is delivered while executing in user space, the trap entry code puts ASI_AIUS in %asi so that copy_from_user() and copy_to_user() will access the correct memory. But if a perf counter interrupt is delivered while the cpu is already executing in kernel space, then the trap entry code will put ASI_P in %asi, and this will prevent copy_from_user() from reading any useful stack data in either of the perf_callchain_user_X functions, and thus no user callgraph data will be collected for this sample period. An additional problem is that a fault is guaranteed to occur, and though it will be silently covered up, it wastes time and could perturb state. In perf_callchain_user(), we ensure that %asi contains ASI_AIUS because we know for a fact that the subsequent calls to copy_from_user() are intended to read the user's stack.

Add ADI (Application Data Integrity) capability to cpu capabilities list. ADI capability allows virtual addresses to be encoded with a tag in bits 63-60. This tag serves as an access control key for the regions of virtual address with ADI enabled and a key set on them. Hypervisor encodes this capability as "adp" in "hwcap-list" property in machine description. Signed-off-by: Khalid Aziz <khalid.aziz@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
