All NTP data is held in static variables. That prevents the NTP code from
being reuasble for non-system time timekeepers, e.g. per PTP clock
timekeeping.
Introduce struct ntp_data and move tick_usec into it for a start.

The reference time is required twice in ntp_update_offset(). It will not
change in the meantime as the calling code holds the timekeeper lock. Read
it only once and store it into a local variable.

is_error_status() and ntp_synced() return whether a state is set or
not. Both functions use unsigned int for it even if it would be a perfect
job for a bool.
Use bool instead of unsigned int. And while at it, move ntp_synced()
function to the place where it is used.

Usage of different comment formatting makes fast reading and parsing the

coding style by starting with a line only containing '/*'. There are also
comments which do not start with capitals.

no_llseek had been defined to NULL two years ago, in commit 868941b144
("fs: remove no_llseek")
To quote that commit,
At -rc1 we'll need do a mechanical removal of no_llseek -
git grep -l -w no_llseek | grep -v porting.rst | while read i; do
sed -i '/\<no_llseek\>/d' $i
done
would do it.
Unfortunately, that hadn't been done. Linus, could you do that now, so
that we could finally put that thing to rest? All instances are of the
form
.llseek = no_llseek,
so it's obviously safe.

sync_hw_clock() is normally called every 11 minutes when time is
synchronized. This issue is that this periodic timer uses the REALTIME
clock, so when time moves backwards (the NTP server jumps into the past),
the timer expires late.
If the timer expires late, which can be days later, the RTC will no longer
be updated, which is an issue if the device is abruptly powered OFF during
this period. When the device will restart (when powered ON), it will have
the date prior to the ADJ_SETOFFSET call.
A normal NTP server should not jump in the past like that, but it is
possible... Another way of reproducing this issue is to use phc2sys to
synchronize the REALTIME clock with, for example, an IRIG timecode with
the source always starting at the same date (not synchronized).
Also, if the time jump in the future by less than 11 minutes, the RTC may
not be updated immediately (minor issue). Consider the following scenario:
- Time is synchronized, and sync_hw_clock() was just called (the timer
expires in 11 minutes).
- A time jump is realized in the future by a couple of minutes.
- The time is synchronized again.
- Users may expect that RTC to be updated as soon as possible, and not
after 11 minutes (for the same reason, if a power loss occurs in this
period).
Cancel periodic timer on any time jump (ADJ_SETOFFSET) greater than or
equal to 1s. The timer will be relaunched at the end of do_adjtimex() if
NTP is still considered synced. Otherwise the timer will be relaunched
later when NTP is synced. This way, when the time is synchronized again,
the RTC is updated after less than 2 seconds.

Global timers could be expired remotely when the target CPU is idle. After
a remote timer expiry, the remote timer_base->next_expiry value is updated
while holding the timer_base->lock. When the formerly idle CPU becomes
active at the same time and checks whether timers need to expire, this
check is done lockless as it is on the local CPU. This could lead to a data
race, which was reported by sysbot:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/000000000000916e55061f969e14@google.com
When the value is read lockless but changed by the remote CPU, only two non
critical scenarios could happen:
1) The already update value is read -> everything is perfect
2) The old value is read -> a superfluous timer soft interrupt is raised
The same situation could happen when enqueueing a new first pinned timer by
a remote CPU also with non critical scenarios:
1) The already update value is read -> everything is perfect
2) The old value is read -> when the CPU is idle, an IPI is executed
nevertheless and when the CPU isn't idle, the updated value will be visible
on the next tick and the timer might be late one jiffie.
As this is very unlikely to happen, the overhead of doing the check under
the lock is a way more effort, than a superfluous timer soft interrupt or a
possible 1 jiffie delay of the timer.
Document and annotate this non critical behavior in the code by using
READ/WRITE_ONCE() pair when accessing timer_base->next_expiry.

msleep() and msleep_interruptible() add a jiffie to the requested timeout.
This extra jiffie was introduced to ensure that the timeout will not happen
earlier than specified.
Since the rework of the timer wheel, the enqueue path already takes care of
this. So the extra jiffie added by msleep*() is pointless now.

The timerslack_ns setting is used to specify how much the hardware
timers should be delayed, to potentially dispatch multiple timers in a
single interrupt. This is a performance optimization. Timers of
realtime tasks (having a realtime scheduling policy) should not be
delayed.
This logic was inconsitently applied to the hrtimers, leading to delays
of realtime tasks which used timed waits for events (e.g. condition
variables). Due to the downstream override of the slack for rt tasks,
the procfs reported incorrect (non-zero) timerslack_ns values.
This is changed by setting the timer_slack_ns task attribute to 0 for
all tasks with a rt policy. By that, downstream users do not need to
specially handle rt tasks (w.r.t. the slack), and the procfs entry
shows the correct value of "0". Setting non-zero slack values (either
via procfs or PR_SET_TIMERSLACK) on tasks with a rt policy is ignored,
as stated in "man 2 PR_SET_TIMERSLACK":
Timer slack is not applied to threads that are scheduled under a
real-time scheduling policy (see sched_setscheduler(2)).
The special handling of timerslack on rt tasks in downstream users
is removed as well.

When soft interrupt actions are called, they are passed a pointer to the
struct softirq action which contains the action's function pointer.
This pointer isn't useful, as the action callback already knows what
function it is. And since each callback handles a specific soft interrupt,
the callback also knows which soft interrupt number is running.
No soft interrupt action callback actually uses this parameter, so remove
it from the function pointer signature. This clarifies that soft interrupt
actions are global routines and makes it slightly cheaper to call them.

rt_task() checks if a task has RT priority. But depends on your
dictionary, this could mean it belongs to RT class, or is a 'realtime'
task, which includes RT and DL classes.
Since this has caused some confusion already on discussion [1], it
seemed a clean up is due.
I define the usage of rt_task() to be tasks that belong to RT class.
Make sure that it returns true only for RT class and audit the users and
replace the ones required the old behavior with the new realtime_task()
which returns true for RT and DL classes. Introduce similar
realtime_prio() to create similar distinction to rt_prio() and update
the users that required the old behavior to use the new function.
Move MAX_DL_PRIO to prio.h so it can be used in the new definitions.
Document the functions to make it more obvious what is the difference
between them. PI-boosted tasks is a factor that must be taken into
account when choosing which function to use.
Rename task_is_realtime() to realtime_task_policy() as the old name is
confusing against the new realtime_task().
No functional changes were intended.

The addition of the bases argument to clock_was_set() fixed up all call
sites correctly except for do_adjtimex(). This uses CLOCK_REALTIME
instead of CLOCK_SET_WALL as argument. CLOCK_REALTIME is 0.
As a result the effect of that clock_was_set() notification is incomplete
and might result in timers expiring late because the hrtimer code does
not re-evaluate the affected clock bases.
Use CLOCK_SET_WALL instead of CLOCK_REALTIME to tell the hrtimers code
which clock bases need to be re-evaluated.

Right now, cs_watchdog_read() does clocksource sanity checks based
on WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW, which sets a floor on any clocksource's
.uncertainty_margin. These sanity checks can therefore act
inappropriately for clocksources with large uncertainty margins.
One reason for a clocksource to have a large .uncertainty_margin is when
that clocksource has long read-out latency, given that it does not make
sense for the .uncertainty_margin to be smaller than the read-out latency.
With the current checks, cs_watchdog_read() could reject all normal
reads from a clocksource with long read-out latencies, such as those
from legacy clocksources that are no longer implemented in hardware.
Therefore, recast the cs_watchdog_read() checks in terms of the
.uncertainty_margin values of the clocksources involved in the timespan in
question. The first covers two watchdog reads and one cs read, so use
twice the watchdog .uncertainty_margin plus that of the cs. The second
covers only a pair of watchdog reads, so use twice the watchdog
.uncertainty_margin.

there was no new next timer expiry that needs to be propagated, then the

childmask in the group reflects the mask that is required to 'reference'
this group in the parent. When reading childmask, this might be confusing,
as this suggests, that this is the mask of the child of the group.

Two different structs are defined for propagating data from one to another
level when walking the hierarchy. Several struct members exist in both
structs which makes generalization harder.
Merge those two structs into a single one and use it directly in
walk_groups() and the corresponding function pointers instead of
introducing pointer casting all over the place.

Trace points of inactive and active propagation are located at the end of

When a CPU comes online the first time, it is possible that a new top level
group will be created. In general all propagation is done from the bottom
to top. This minimizes complexity and prevents possible races. But when a
new top level group is created, the formely top level group needs to be
connected to the new level. This is the only time, when the direction to
propagate changes is changed: the changes are propagated from top (new top
level group) to bottom (formerly top level group).
This introduces two races (see (A) and (B)) as reported by Frederic:
(A) This race happens, when marking the formely top level group as active,
but the last active CPU of the formerly top level group goes idle. Then
it's likely that formerly group is no longer active, but marked
nevertheless as active in new top level group:
[GRP0:0]
migrator = 0
active = 0
nextevt = KTIME_MAX
/ \
0 1 .. 7
active idle
0) Hierarchy has for now only 8 CPUs and CPU 0 is the only active CPU.
[GRP1:0]
migrator = TMIGR_NONE
active = NONE
nextevt = KTIME_MAX

[GRP0:0] [GRP0:1]
migrator = 0 migrator = TMIGR_NONE
active = 0 active = NONE
nextevt = KTIME_MAX nextevt = KTIME_MAX
/ \
0 1 .. 7 8
active idle !online
1) CPU 8 is booting and creates a new group in first level GRP0:1 and
therefore also a new top group GRP1:0. For now the setup code proceeded
only until the connected between GRP0:1 to the new top group. The
connection between CPU8 and GRP0:1 is not yet established and CPU 8 is
still !online.
[GRP1:0]
migrator = TMIGR_NONE
active = NONE
nextevt = KTIME_MAX

[GRP0:0] [GRP0:1]
migrator = 0 migrator = TMIGR_NONE
active = 0 active = NONE
nextevt = KTIME_MAX nextevt = KTIME_MAX
/ \
0 1 .. 7 8
active idle !online
2) Setup code now connects GRP0:0 to GRP1:0 and observes while in
tmigr_connect_child_parent() that GRP0:0 is not TMIGR_NONE. So it
prepares to call tmigr_active_up() on it. It hasn't done it yet.
[GRP1:0]
migrator = TMIGR_NONE
active = NONE
nextevt = KTIME_MAX
/ \
[GRP0:0] [GRP0:1]
migrator = TMIGR_NONE migrator = TMIGR_NONE
active = NONE active = NONE
nextevt = KTIME_MAX nextevt = KTIME_MAX
/ \
0 1 .. 7 8
idle idle !online
3) CPU 0 goes idle. Since GRP0:0->parent has been updated by CPU 8 with
GRP0:0->lock held, CPU 0 observes GRP1:0 after calling
tmigr_update_events() and it propagates the change to the top (no change
there and no wakeup programmed since there is no timer).
[GRP1:0]
migrator = GRP0:0
active = GRP0:0
nextevt = KTIME_MAX

nextevt = KTIME_MAX nextevt = KTIME_MAX

4) Now the setup code finally calls tmigr_active_up() to and sets GRP0:0
active in GRP1:0
[GRP1:0]
migrator = GRP0:0
active = GRP0:0, GRP0:1
nextevt = KTIME_MAX

[GRP0:0] [GRP0:1]
migrator = TMIGR_NONE migrator = 8
active = NONE active = 8
nextevt = KTIME_MAX nextevt = KTIME_MAX

5) Now CPU 8 is connected with GRP0:1 and CPU 8 calls tmigr_active_up() out
of tmigr_cpu_online().
[GRP1:0]
migrator = GRP0:0
active = GRP0:0
nextevt = T8

[GRP0:0] [GRP0:1]
migrator = TMIGR_NONE migrator = TMIGR_NONE
active = NONE active = NONE
nextevt = KTIME_MAX nextevt = T8
/ \ |
0 1 .. 7 8
idle idle idle
5) CPU 8 goes idle with a timer T8 and relies on GRP0:0 as the migrator.
But it's not really active, so T8 gets ignored.
--> The update which is done in third step is not noticed by setup code. So
a wrong migrator is set to top level group and a timer could get
ignored.
(B) Reading group->parent and group->childmask when an hierarchy update is
ongoing and reaches the formerly top level group is racy as those values
could be inconsistent. (The notation of migrator and active now slightly
changes in contrast to the above example, as now the childmasks are used.)

2) Setup code (running on CPU 8) now connects GRP0:0 to GRP1:0, updates

3) ... CPU 0 comes active in the same time. As migrator in GRP0:0 was

childmask=1
tmigr_walk.childmask = 0
5) CPU 0 sees the connection to GRP1:0 and now propagates active state to
GRP1:0 but with childmask = 0 as stored in propagation data structure.
--> Now GRP1:0 always has a migrator as 0x00 != TMIGR_NONE and for all CPUs
it looks like GRP1:0 is always active.
To prevent those races, the setup of the hierarchy is moved into the
cpuhotplug prepare callback. The prepare callback is not executed by the
CPU which will come online, it is executed by the CPU which prepares
onlining of the other CPU. This CPU is active while it is connecting the
formerly top level to the new one. This prevents from (A) to happen and it
also prevents from any further walk above the formerly top level until that
active CPU becomes inactive, releasing the new ->parent and ->childmask
updates to be visible by any subsequent walk up above the formerly top
level hierarchy. This prevents from (B) to happen. The direction for the
updates is now forced to look like "from bottom to top".
However if the active CPU prevents from tmigr_cpu_(in)active() to walk up
with the update not-or-half visible, nothing prevents walking up to the new
top with a 0 childmask in tmigr_handle_remote_up() or
tmigr_requires_handle_remote_up() if the active CPU doing the prepare is
not the migrator. But then it looks fine because:
* tmigr_check_migrator() should just return false
* The migrator is active and should eventually observe the new childmask
at some point in a future tick.
Split setup functionality of online callback into the cpuhotplug prepare
callback and setup hotplug state. Change init call into early_initcall() to
make sure an already active CPU prepares everything for newly upcoming
CPUs. Reorder the code, that all prepare related functions are close to
each other and online and offline callbacks are also close together.

When reading group->parent without holding the group lock it is racy
against CPUs coming online the first time and thereby creating another
level of the hierarchy. This is not a problem when this value is read once
to decide whether to abort a propagation or not. The worst outcome is an
unnecessary/early CPU wake up. But it is racy when reading it several times
during a single 'action' (like activation, deactivation, checking for
remote timer expiry,...) and relying on the consitency of this value
without holding the lock. This happens at the moment e.g. in
tmigr_inactive_up() which is also calling tmigr_udpate_events(). Code relys
on group->parent not to change during this 'action'.
Update parent struct member description to explain the above only
once. Remove parent pointer checks when they are not mandatory (like update
of data->childmask). Remove a warning, which would be nice but the trigger
of this warning is not reliable and add expand the data structure member
description instead. Expand a comment, why it is safe to rely on parent
pointer here (inside hierarchy update).

Running the LTP hotplug stress test on a aarch64 machine results in
rcu_sched stall warnings when the broadcast hrtimer was owned by the
un-plugged CPU. The issue is the following:
CPU1 (owns the broadcast hrtimer) CPU2
tick_broadcast_enter()
// shutdown local timer device
broadcast_shutdown_local()
...
tick_broadcast_exit()
clockevents_switch_state(dev, CLOCK_EVT_STATE_ONESHOT)
// timer device is not programmed
cpumask_set_cpu(cpu, tick_broadcast_force_mask)
initiates offlining of CPU1
take_cpu_down()
/*

* send broadcast IPI anymore
*/
takedown_cpu()
hotplug_cpu__broadcast_tick_pull()
// move broadcast hrtimer to this CPU
clockevents_program_event()
bc_set_next()
hrtimer_start()
/*
* timer device is not programmed
* because only the first expiring
* timer will trigger clockevent
* device reprogramming
*/
What happens is that CPU2 exits broadcast mode with force bit set, then the
local timer device is not reprogrammed and CPU2 expects to receive the
expired event by the broadcast IPI. But this does not happen because CPU1
is offlined by CPU2. CPU switches the clockevent device to ONESHOT state,
but does not reprogram the device.
The subsequent reprogramming of the hrtimer broadcast device does not
program the clockevent device of CPU2 either because the pending expiry
time is already in the past and the CPU expects the event to be delivered.
As a consequence all CPUs which wait for a broadcast event to be delivered
are stuck forever.
Fix this issue by reprogramming the local timer device if the broadcast
force bit of the CPU is set so that the broadcast hrtimer is delivered.

PPS (Pulse Per Second) generates a hardware pulse every second based on
CLOCK_REALTIME. This works fine when the pulse is generated in software
from a hrtimer callback function.
For hardware which generates the pulse by programming a timer it is
required to convert CLOCK_REALTIME to the underlying hardware clock.
The X86 Timed IO device is based on the Always Running Timer (ART), which
is the base clock of the TSC, which is usually the system clocksource on
X86.
The core code already has functionality to convert base clock timestamps to
system clocksource timestamps, but there is no support for converting the
other way around.
Provide the required functionality to support such devices in a generic
way to avoid code duplication in drivers:
1) ktime_real_to_base_clock() to convert a CLOCK_REALTIME timestamp to a
base clock timestamp
2) timekeeping_clocksource_has_base() to allow drivers to validate that
the system clocksource is based on a particular clocksource ID.

Hardware time stamps like provided by PTP clock implementations are based
on a clock which feeds both the PCIe device and the system clock. For
further processing the underlying hardwarre clock timestamp must be
converted to the system clock.
Right now this requires drivers to invoke an architecture specific
conversion function, e.g. to convert the ART (Always Running Timer)
timestamp to a TSC timestamp.
As the system clock is aware of the underlying base clock, this can be
moved to the core code by providing a base clock property for the system
clock which contains the conversion factors and assigning a clocksource ID
to the base clock.
Add the required data structures and the conversion infrastructure in the
core code to prepare for converting X86 and the related PTP drivers over.

Summary
* Removed sentinel elements from ctl_table structs in kernel/*
Removing sentinels in ctl_table arrays reduces the build time size and
runtime memory consumed by ~64 bytes per array. Removals for net/, io_uring/,
mm/, ipc/ and security/ are set to go into mainline through their respective
subsystems making the next release the most likely place where the final
series that removes the check for proc_name == NULL will land. This PR adds
to removals already in arch/, drivers/ and fs/.
* Adjusted ctl_table definitions and references to allow constification
Adjustments:
- Removing unused ctl_table function arguments
- Moving non-const elements from ctl_table to ctl_table_header
- Making ctl_table pointers const in ctl_table_root structure
Making the static ctl_table structs const will increase safety by keeping the
pointers to proc_handler functions in .rodata. Though no ctl_tables where
made const in this PR, the ground work for making that possible has started
with these changes sent by Thomas Weißschuh.
Testing
* These changes went into linux-next after v6.9-rc4; giving it a good month of
testing.

- Core code:
- Make timekeeping and VDSO time readouts resilent against math overflow:
In guest context the kernel is prone to math overflow when the host
defers the timer interrupt due to overload, malfunction or malice.
This can be mitigated by checking the clocksource delta for the
maximum deferrement which is readily available. If that value is
exceeded then the code uses a slowpath function which can handle the
multiplication overflow.
This functionality is enabled unconditionally in the kernel, but made
conditional in the VDSO code. The latter is conditional because it
allows architectures to optimize the check so it is not causing
performance regressions.
On X86 this is achieved by reworking the existing check for negative
TSC deltas as a negative delta obviously exceeds the maximum
deferrement when it is evaluated as an unsigned value. That avoids two
conditionals in the hotpath and allows to hide both the negative delta
and the large delta handling in the same slow path.
- Add an initial minimal ktime_t abstraction for Rust
- The usual boring cleanups and enhancements
- Drivers:
- Boring updates to device trees and trivial enhancements in various
drivers.

Kernel timekeeping is designed to keep the change in cycles (since the last
timer interrupt) below max_cycles, which prevents multiplication overflow
when converting cycles to nanoseconds. However, if timer interrupts stop,
the clocksource_cyc2ns() calculation will eventually overflow.
Add protection against that. Simplify by folding together
clocksource_delta() and clocksource_cyc2ns() into cycles_to_nsec_safe().
Check against max_cycles, falling back to a slower higher precision
calculation.

For the case !CONFIG_CLOCKSOURCE_VALIDATE_LAST_CYCLE, forego overflow
protection in the range (mask << 1) < delta <= mask, and interpret it
always as an inconsistency between CPU clock values. That allows
slightly neater code, and it is on a slow path so has no effect on

Commit 4b6f4c5a67 ("timer/migration: Remove buggy early return on
deactivation") removed the logic to return early in tmigr_update_events()
on deactivation. With this the problem with a not properly updated first
global event in a hierarchy containing only a single group was fixed.
But when having a look at this code path with a hierarchy with more than a
single level, now unnecessary work is done (example is partially copied
from the message of the commit mentioned above):
[GRP1:0]
migrator = GRP0:0
active = GRP0:0
nextevt = T0:0i, T0:1
/ \
[GRP0:0] [GRP0:1]
migrator = 0 migrator = NONE
active = 0 active = NONE
nextevt = T0i, T1 nextevt = T2
/ \ / \
0 (T0i) 1 (T1) 2 (T2) 3
active idle idle idle
0) CPU 0 is active thus its event is ignored (the letter 'i') and so are
upper levels' events. CPU 1 is idle and has the timer T1 enqueued.
CPU 2 also has a timer. The expiry order is T0 (ignored) < T1 < T2
[GRP1:0]
migrator = GRP0:0
active = GRP0:0
nextevt = T0:0i, T0:1
/ \
[GRP0:0] [GRP0:1]
migrator = NONE migrator = NONE
active = NONE active = NONE
nextevt = T1 nextevt = T2
/ \ / \
0 (T0i) 1 (T1) 2 (T2) 3
idle idle idle idle
1) CPU 0 goes idle without global event queued. Therefore KTIME_MAX is
pushed as its next expiry and its own event kept as "ignore". Without this
early return the following steps happen in tmigr_update_events() when
child = null and group = GRP0:0 :
lock(GRP0:0->lock);
timerqueue_del(GRP0:0, T0i);
unlock(GRP0:0->lock);
[GRP1:0]
migrator = NONE
active = NONE
nextevt = T0:0, T0:1
/ \
[GRP0:0] [GRP0:1]
migrator = NONE migrator = NONE
active = NONE active = NONE
nextevt = T1 nextevt = T2
/ \ / \
0 (T0i) 1 (T1) 2 (T2) 3
idle idle idle idle
2) The change now propagates up to the top. Then tmigr_update_events()
updates the group event of GRP0:0 and executes the following steps
(child = GRP0:0 and group = GRP0:0):
lock(GRP0:0->lock);
lock(GRP1:0->lock);
evt = tmigr_next_groupevt(GRP0:0); -> this removes the ignored events
in GRP0:0
... update GRP1:0 group event and timerqueue ...
unlock(GRP1:0->lock);
unlock(GRP0:0->lock);
So the dance in 1) with locking the GRP0:0->lock and removing the T0i from
the timerqueue is redundand as this is done nevertheless in 2) when
tmigr_next_groupevt(GRP0:0) is executed.
Revert commit 4b6f4c5a67 ("timer/migration: Remove buggy early return on
deactivation") and add a condition into return path to skip the return
only, when hierarchy contains a single group. Adapt comments accordingly.

When a group event is updated with its expiry unchanged but a different
CPU, that target change may go unnoticed and the event may be propagated
up with a stale CPU value. The following depicts a scenario that has
been actually observed:
[GRP2:0]
migrator = GRP1:1
active = GRP1:1
nextevt = TGRP1:0 (T0)
/ \
[GRP1:0] [GRP1:1]
migrator = NONE [...]
active = NONE
nextevt = TGRP0:0 (T0)
/ \
[GRP0:0] [...]
migrator = NONE
active = NONE
nextevt = T0
/ \
0 (T0) 1 (T1)
idle idle
0) The hierarchy has 3 levels. The left part (GRP1:0) is all idle,
including CPU 0 and CPU 1 which have a timer each: T0 and T1. They have
the same expiry value.
[GRP2:0]
migrator = GRP1:1
active = GRP1:1
nextevt = KTIME_MAX
/ \
[GRP1:0] [GRP1:1]
migrator = NONE [...]
active = NONE
nextevt = TGRP0:0 (T0)
/ \
[GRP0:0] [...]
migrator = NONE
active = NONE
nextevt = T0
/ \
0 (T0) 1 (T1)
idle idle
1) The migrator in GRP1:1 handles remotely T0. The event is dequeued
from the top and T0 executed.
[GRP2:0]
migrator = GRP1:1
active = GRP1:1
nextevt = KTIME_MAX
/ \
[GRP1:0] [GRP1:1]
migrator = NONE [...]
active = NONE
nextevt = TGRP0:0 (T0)
/ \
[GRP0:0] [...]
migrator = NONE
active = NONE
nextevt = T1
/ \
0 1 (T1)
idle idle
2) The migrator in GRP1:1 fetches the next timer for CPU 0 and finds
none. But it updates the events from its groups, starting with GRP0:0
which now has T1 as its next event. So far so good.
[GRP2:0]
migrator = GRP1:1
active = GRP1:1
nextevt = KTIME_MAX
/ \
[GRP1:0] [GRP1:1]
migrator = NONE [...]
active = NONE
nextevt = TGRP0:0 (T0)
/ \
[GRP0:0] [...]
migrator = NONE
active = NONE
nextevt = T1
/ \
0 1 (T1)
idle idle
3) The migrator in GRP1:1 proceeds upward and updates the events in
GRP1:0. The child event TGRP0:0 is found queued with the same expiry
as before. And therefore it is left unchanged. However the target CPU
is not the same but that fact is ignored so TGRP0:0 still points to
CPU 0 when it should point to CPU 1.
[GRP2:0]
migrator = GRP1:1
active = GRP1:1
nextevt = TGRP1:0 (T0)
/ \
[GRP1:0] [GRP1:1]
migrator = NONE [...]
active = NONE
nextevt = TGRP0:0 (T0)
/ \
[GRP0:0] [...]
migrator = NONE
active = NONE
nextevt = T1
/ \
0 1 (T1)
idle idle
4) The propagation has reached the top level and TGRP1:0, having TGRP0:0
as its first event, also wrongly points to CPU 0. TGRP1:0 is added to
the top level group.
[GRP2:0]
migrator = GRP1:1
active = GRP1:1
nextevt = KTIME_MAX
/ \
[GRP1:0] [GRP1:1]
migrator = NONE [...]
active = NONE
nextevt = TGRP0:0 (T0)
/ \
[GRP0:0] [...]
migrator = NONE
active = NONE
nextevt = T1
/ \
0 1 (T1)
idle idle
5) The migrator in GRP1:1 dequeues the next event in top level pointing
to CPU 0. But since it actually doesn't see any real event in CPU 0, it
early returns.
6) T1 is left unhandled until either CPU 0 or CPU 1 wake up.
Some other bad scenario may involve trees with just two levels.
Fix this with unconditionally updating the CPU of the child event before
considering to early return while updating a queued event with an
unchanged expiry value.

of idle. This happens when the last CPU goes idle and therefore has to

of idle at the same time and the other CPU wins the race and expires
the global queue. This causes the last CPU to chase ghost timers
forever and reprogramming it's clockevent device endlessly.
Cure this by re-evaluating the wakeup time unconditionally.
2) The split into local (pinned) and global timers in the timer wheel

global timers. On NOHZ full this prevents an self IPI being sent which
in turn causes the timer to be not programmed and not being expired on

While running in nohz_full mode, a task may enqueue a timer while the
tick is stopped. However the only places where the timer wheel,
alongside the timer migration machinery's decision, may reprogram the
next event accordingly with that new timer's expiry are the idle loop or
any IRQ tail.
However neither the idle task nor an interrupt may run on the CPU if it
resumes busy work in userspace for a long while in full dynticks mode.
To solve this, the timer enqueue path raises a self-IPI that will
re-evaluate the timer wheel on its IRQ tail. This asynchronous solution
avoids potential locking inversion.
This is supposed to happen both for local and global timers but commit:
b2cf7507e1 ("timers: Always queue timers on the local CPU")
broke the global timers case with removing the ->is_idle field handling
for the global base. As a result, global timers enqueue may go unnoticed
in nohz_full.
Fix this with restoring the idle tracking of the global timer's base,
allowing self-IPIs again on enqueue time.

When a CPU is an idle migrator, but another CPU wakes up before it,
becomes an active migrator and handles the queue, the initial idle
migrator may end up endlessly reprogramming its clockevent, chasing ghost
timers forever such as in the following scenario:
[GRP0:0]
migrator = 0
active = 0
nextevt = T1
/ \
0 1
active idle (T1)
0) CPU 1 is idle and has a timer queued (T1), CPU 0 is active and is
the active migrator.
[GRP0:0]
migrator = NONE
active = NONE
nextevt = T1
/ \
0 1
idle idle (T1)
wakeup = T1
1) CPU 0 is now idle and is therefore the idle migrator. It has
programmed its next timer interrupt to handle T1.
[GRP0:0]
migrator = 1
active = 1
nextevt = KTIME_MAX
/ \
0 1
idle active
wakeup = T1
2) CPU 1 has woken up, it is now active and it has just handled its own
timer T1.
3) CPU 0 gets a timer interrupt to handle T1 but tmigr_handle_remote()
realize it is not the migrator anymore. So it early returns without
observing that T1 has been expired already and therefore without
updating its ->wakeup value.
4) CPU 0 goes into tmigr_cpu_new_timer() which also early returns
because it doesn't queue a timer of its own. So ->wakeup is left
unchanged and the next timer is programmed to fire now.
5) goto 3) forever
This results in timer interrupt storms in idle and also in nohz_full (as
observed in rcutorture's TREE07 scenario).
Fix this with forcing a re-evaluation of tmc->wakeup while trying
remote timer handling when the CPU isn't the migrator anymmore. The
check is inherently racy but in the worst case the CPU just races setting
the KTIME_MAX value that a remote expiry also tries to set.

timer/migration: Remove buggy early return on deactivation
When a CPU enters into idle and deactivates itself from the timer
migration hierarchy without any global timer of its own to propagate,
the group event of that CPU is set to "ignore" and tmigr_update_events()
accordingly performs an early return without considering timers queued
by other CPUs.
If the hierarchy has a single level, and the CPU is the last one to
enter idle, it will ignore others' global timers, as in the following
layout:
[GRP0:0]
migrator = 0
active = 0
nextevt = T0i
/ \
0 1
active (T0i) idle (T1)
0) CPU 0 is active thus its event is ignored (the letter 'i') and so are
upper levels' events. CPU 1 is idle and has the timer T1 enqueued.
[GRP0:0]

1) CPU 0 goes idle without global event queued. Therefore KTIME_MAX is
pushed as its next expiry and its own event kept as "ignore". As a result
tmigr_update_events() ignores T1 and CPU 0 goes to idle with T1
unhandled.
This isn't proper to single level hierarchy though. A similar issue,
although slightly different, may arise on multi-level:
[GRP1:0]
migrator = GRP0:0
active = GRP0:0
nextevt = T0:0i, T0:1
/ \
[GRP0:0] [GRP0:1]
migrator = 0 migrator = NONE
active = 0 active = NONE
nextevt = T0i nextevt = T2
/ \ / \
0 (T0i) 1 (T1) 2 (T2) 3
active idle idle idle
0) CPU 0 is active thus its event is ignored (the letter 'i') and so are
upper levels' events. CPU 1 is idle and has the timer T1 enqueued.
CPU 2 also has a timer. The expiry order is T0 (ignored) < T1 < T2
[GRP1:0]
migrator = GRP0:0
active = GRP0:0
nextevt = T0:0i, T0:1
/ \
[GRP0:0] [GRP0:1]
migrator = NONE migrator = NONE
active = NONE active = NONE
nextevt = T0i nextevt = T2
/ \ / \
0 (T0i) 1 (T1) 2 (T2) 3
idle idle idle idle
1) CPU 0 goes idle without global event queued. Therefore KTIME_MAX is
pushed as its next expiry and its own event kept as "ignore". As a result
tmigr_update_events() ignores T1. The change only propagated up to 1st
level so far.
[GRP1:0]
migrator = NONE
active = NONE
nextevt = T0:1
/ \
[GRP0:0] [GRP0:1]
migrator = NONE migrator = NONE
active = NONE active = NONE
nextevt = T0i nextevt = T2
/ \ / \
0 (T0i) 1 (T1) 2 (T2) 3
idle idle idle idle
2) The change now propagates up to the top. tmigr_update_events() finds
that the child event is ignored and thus removes it. The top level next
event is now T2 which is returned to CPU 0 as its next effective expiry
to take account for as the global idle migrator. However T1 has been
ignored along the way, leaving it unhandled.
Fix those issues with removing the buggy related early return. Ignored
child events must not prevent from evaluating the other events within
the same group.

- The hierarchical timer pull model
When timer wheel timers are armed they are placed into the timer wheel
of a CPU which is likely to be busy at the time of expiry. This is done
to avoid wakeups on potentially idle CPUs.
This is wrong in several aspects:
1) The heuristics to select the target CPU are wrong by
definition as the chance to get the prediction right is close
to zero.
2) Due to #1 it is possible that timers are accumulated on a
single target CPU
3) The required computation in the enqueue path is just overhead for
dubious value especially under the consideration that the vast
majority of timer wheel timers are either canceled or rearmed
before they expire.
The timer pull model avoids the above by removing the target
computation on enqueue and queueing timers always on the CPU on which
they get armed.
This is achieved by having separate wheels for CPU pinned timers and
global timers which do not care about where they expire.
As long as a CPU is busy it handles both the pinned and the global
timers which are queued on the CPU local timer wheels.
When a CPU goes idle it evaluates its own timer wheels:
- If the first expiring timer is a pinned timer, then the global
timers can be ignored as the CPU will wake up before they expire.
- If the first expiring timer is a global timer, then the expiry time
is propagated into the timer pull hierarchy and the CPU makes sure
to wake up for the first pinned timer.
The timer pull hierarchy organizes CPUs in groups of eight at the
lowest level and at the next levels groups of eight groups up to the
point where no further aggregation of groups is required, i.e. the
number of levels is log8(NR_CPUS). The magic number of eight has been
established by experimention, but can be adjusted if needed.
In each group one busy CPU acts as the migrator. It's only one CPU to
avoid lock contention on remote timer wheels.
The migrator CPU checks in its own timer wheel handling whether there
are other CPUs in the group which have gone idle and have global timers
to expire. If there are global timers to expire, the migrator locks the
remote CPU timer wheel and handles the expiry.
Depending on the group level in the hierarchy this handling can require
to walk the hierarchy downwards to the CPU level.
Special care is taken when the last CPU goes idle. At this point the
CPU is the systemwide migrator at the top of the hierarchy and it
therefore cannot delegate to the hierarchy. It needs to arm its own
timer device to expire either at the first expiring timer in the
hierarchy or at the first CPU local timer, which ever expires first.
This completely removes the overhead from the enqueue path, which is
e.g. for networking a true hotpath and trades it for a slightly more
complex idle path.
This has been in development for a couple of years and the final series
has been extensively tested by various teams from silicon vendors and
ran through extensive CI.
There have been slight performance improvements observed on network
centric workloads and an Intel team confirmed that this allows them to
power down a die completely on a mult-die socket for the first time in
a mostly idle scenario.
There is only one outstanding ~1.5% regression on a specific overloaded
netperf test which is currently investigated, but the rest is either
positive or neutral performance wise and positive on the power
management side.
- Fixes for the timekeeping interpolation code for cross-timestamps:
cross-timestamps are used for PTP to get snapshots from hardware timers
and interpolated them back to clock MONOTONIC. The changes address a
few corner cases in the interpolation code which got the math and logic
wrong.
- Simplifcation of the clocksource watchdog retry logic to automatically
adjust to handle larger systems correctly instead of having more
incomprehensible command line parameters.

The cross-timestamp mechanism which allows to correlate hardware
clocks uses clocksource pointers for describing the correlation.
That's suboptimal as drivers need to obtain the pointer, which requires
needless exports and exposing internals.
This can be completely avoided by assigning clocksource IDs and using
them for describing the correlated clock source.
This update adds clocksource IDs to all clocksources in the tree which
can be exposed to this mechanism and removes the pointer and now needless
exports.
This is separate from the timer core changes as it was provided to the
PTP folks to build further changes on top.
A related improvement for the core and the correlation handling has not
made it this time, but is expected to get ready for the next round.

When a CPU is the last active in the hierarchy and it tries to enter
into idle, the quick check looking up the next event towards cpuidle
heuristics may report a too late expiry, such as in the following
scenario:
[GRP1:0]
migrator = NONE
active = NONE
nextevt = T0:0, T0:1
/ \
[GRP0:0] [GRP0:1]
migrator = NONE migrator = NONE
active = NONE active = NONE
nextevt = T0, T1 nextevt = T2
/ \ / \
0 1 2 3
idle idle idle idle
0) The whole system is idle, and CPU 0 was the last migrator. CPU 0 has
a timer (T0), CPU 1 has a timer (T1) and CPU 2 has a timer (T2). The
expire order is T0 < T1 < T2.
[GRP1:0]
migrator = GRP0:0
active = GRP0:0
nextevt = T0:0(i), T0:1
/ \
[GRP0:0] [GRP0:1]
migrator = CPU0 migrator = NONE
active = CPU0 active = NONE
nextevt = T0(i), T1 nextevt = T2
/ \ / \
0 1 2 3
active idle idle idle
1) CPU 0 becomes active. The (i) means a now ignored timer.
[GRP1:0]
migrator = GRP0:0
active = GRP0:0
nextevt = T0:1
/ \
[GRP0:0] [GRP0:1]
migrator = CPU0 migrator = NONE
active = CPU0 active = NONE
nextevt = T1 nextevt = T2
/ \ / \
0 1 2 3
active idle idle idle
2) CPU 0 handles remote. No timer actually expired but ignored timers
have been cleaned out and their sibling's timers haven't been
propagated. As a result the top level's next event is T2 and not T1.
3) CPU 0 tries to enter idle without any global timer enqueued and calls
tmigr_quick_check(). The expiry of T2 is returned instead of the
expiry of T1.
When the quick check returns an expiry that is too late, the cpuidle
governor may pick up a C-state that is too deep. This may be result into
undesired CPU wake up latency if the next timer is actually close enough.
Fix this with assuming that expiries aren't sorted top-down while
performing the quick check. Pick up instead the earliest encountered one
while walking up the hierarchy.

The x86 architecture has an idle routine for AMD CPUs which are affected
by erratum 400. On the affected CPUs the local APIC timer stops in the
C1E halt state.
It therefore requires tick broadcasting. The invocation of
tick_broadcast_enter()/exit() from this function violates the RCU
constraints because it can end up in lockdep or tracing, which
rightfully triggers a warning.
tick_broadcast_enter()/exit() must be invoked before ct_cpuidle_enter()
and after ct_cpuidle_exit() in default_idle_call().
Add a static branch conditional invocation of tick_broadcast_enter()/exit()
into this function to allow X86 to replace the AMD specific idle code. It's
guarded by a config switch which will be selected by x86. Otherwise it's
a NOOP.

which should not actually select CONFIG_TICK_ONESHOT.
Adjust the #ifdef for the stub to match the condition for building the
tick-sched.c file for consistency with the definition and to avoid

The next timer (re-)evaluation, with the purpose of entering/updating
the dyntick mode, can happen from 3 sites and none of them are relevant
while the CPU is offline:
1) The idle loop:
a) From the quick check helping the cpuidle governor to heuristically
predict the best C-state.
b) While stopping the tick.
But if the CPU is offline, the tick has been cancelled and there is
consequently no need to further stop the tick.
2) Remote expiry: when a CPU remotely expires global timers on behalf of
another CPU, the latter target's next timer is re-evaluated
afterwards. However remote expîry doesn't happen on offline CPUs.
3) IRQ exit: on nohz_full mode, the tick is (re-)evaluated on IRQ exit.
But full dynticks is disabled on offline CPUs.
Therefore it is safe to assume that no next dyntick timer lookup can
be performed on offline CPUs.
Assert this expectation to report any surprise.

The timekeeping duty is handed over from the outgoing CPU on stop
machine, then the oneshot tick is stopped right after. Therefore it's
guaranteed that the current CPU isn't the timekeeper upon its last call
to idle.
Besides, calling tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() while the dying CPU goes
into idle suggests that the tick is going to be stopped while it is
actually stopped already from the appropriate CPU hotplug state.
Remove the confusing call and the obsolete case handling and convert it

The timekeeping duty is handed over from the outgoing CPU within stop
machine. This works well if CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON=n or the tick is in
high-res mode. However in low-res dynticks mode, the tick isn't
cancelled until the clockevent is shut down, which can happen later. The
tick may therefore fire again once IRQs are re-enabled on stop machine
and until IRQs are disabled for good upon the last call to idle.
That's so many opportunities for a timekeeper to go idle and the
outgoing CPU to take over that duty. This is why
tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() is called one last time on idle if the CPU
is seen offline: so that the timekeeping duty is handed over again in
case the CPU has re-taken the duty.
This means there are two timekeeping handovers on CPU down hotplug with
different undocumented constraints and purposes:
1) A handover on stop machine for !dynticks || highres. All online CPUs
are guaranteed to be non-idle and the timekeeping duty can be safely
handed-over. The hrtimer tick is cancelled so it is guaranteed that in
dynticks mode the outgoing CPU won't take again the duty.
2) A handover on last idle call for dynticks && lowres. Setting the
duty to TICK_DO_TIMER_NONE makes sure that a CPU will take over the
timekeeping.
Prepare for consolidating the handover to a single place (the first one)
with shutting down the low-res tick as well from
tick_cancel_sched_timer() as well. This will simplify the handover and
unify the tick cancellation between high-res and low-res.

The nohz mode field tells about low resolution nohz mode or high
resolution nohz mode but it doesn't tell about high resolution non-nohz
mode.
In order to retrieve the latter state, tick_cancel_sched_timer() must
fiddle with struct hrtimer's internals to guess if the tick has been
initialized in high resolution.
Move instead the nohz mode field information into the tick flags and
provide two new bits: one to know if the tick is in nohz mode and
another one to know if the tick is in high resolution. The combination
of those two flags provides all the needed informations to determine
which of the three tick modes is running.

The recent move of the "got_idle_tick" bitfield to its own storage shows

tick_nohz_idle_got_tick() is called by cpuidle_reflect() within the idle
loop with interrupts enabled. This function modifies the struct
tick_sched's bitfield "got_idle_tick". However this bitfield is stored
within the same mask as other bitfields that can be modified from
interrupts.
Fortunately so far it looks like the only race that can happen is while
writing ->got_idle_tick to 0, an interrupt fires and writes the
->idle_active field to 0. It's then possible that the interrupted write
to ->got_idle_tick writes back the old value of ->idle_active back to 1.
However if that happens, the worst possible outcome is that the time
spent between that interrupt and the upcoming call to
tick_nohz_idle_exit() is accounted as idle, which is negligible quantity.
Still all the bitfield writes within this struct tick_sched's shadow
mask should be IRQ-safe. Therefore move this bitfield out to its own
storage to avoid further suprises.

The full-nohz update function checks if the nohz mode is active before
proceeding. It considers one exception though: if the tick is already
stopped even though the nohz mode is inactive, it still moves on in
order to update/restart the tick if needed.
However in order for the tick to be stopped, the nohz_mode has to be
either NOHZ_MODE_LOWRES or NOHZ_MODE_HIGHRES. Therefore it doesn't make
sense to test if the tick is stopped before verifying NOHZ_MODE_INACTIVE
mode.

During the CPU offlining process, the various timer tick features are
shut down from scattered places, sometimes from teardown callbacks on
stop machine, sometimes through explicit calls, sometimes from the
control CPU after the CPU died. The reason why these shutdown operations
are spread around is not always clear and it makes the tick lifecycle
hard to follow.
The tick should be shut down in order from highest to lowest level:
On stop machine from the dying CPU (high-level):
1) Hand-over the timekeeping duty (tick_handover_do_timer())
2) Cancel the tick implementation called by the clockevent callback
(tick_cancel_sched_timer())
3) Shutdown broadcasting (tick_offline_cpu() / tick_broadcast_offline())
On stop machine from the dying CPU (low-level):
4) Shutdown clockevents drivers (CPUHP_AP_*_TIMER_STARTING states)
From the control CPU after the CPU died (low-level):
5) Shutdown/unregister/cleanup clockevents for the dead CPU
(tick_cleanup_dead_cpu())
Instead the current order is 2, 4 (both from CPU hotplug states), then
1 and 3 through direct calls. This layout and order don't make much
sense. The operations 1, 2, 3 should be gathered together and in order.
Sort this situation with creating a new TICK shut-down CPU hotplug state
and start with introducing the timekeeping duty hand-over there. The
state must precede hrtimers migration because the tick hrtimer will be
stopped from it in a further patch.

Placing timers at enqueue time on a target CPU based on dubious heuristics
does not make any sense:
1) Most timer wheel timers are canceled or rearmed before they expire.
2) The heuristics to predict which CPU will be busy when the timer expires
are wrong by definition.
So placing the timers at enqueue wastes precious cycles.
The proper solution to this problem is to always queue the timers on the
local CPU and allow the non pinned timers to be pulled onto a busy CPU at
expiry time.
Therefore split the timer storage into local pinned and global timers:
Local pinned timers are always expired on the CPU on which they have been
queued. Global timers can be expired on any CPU.
As long as a CPU is busy it expires both local and global timers. When a
CPU goes idle it arms for the first expiring local timer. If the first
expiring pinned (local) timer is before the first expiring movable timer,
then no action is required because the CPU will wake up before the first
movable timer expires. If the first expiring movable timer is before the
first expiring pinned (local) timer, then this timer is queued into an idle
timerqueue and eventually expired by another active CPU.
To avoid global locking the timerqueues are implemented as a hierarchy. The
lowest level of the hierarchy holds the CPUs. The CPUs are associated to
groups of 8, which are separated per node. If more than one CPU group
exist, then a second level in the hierarchy collects the groups. Depending
on the size of the system more than 2 levels are required. Each group has a
"migrator" which checks the timerqueue during the tick for remote expirable
timers.
If the last CPU in a group goes idle it reports the first expiring event in
the group up to the next group(s) in the hierarchy. If the last CPU goes
idle it arms its timer for the first system wide expiring timer to ensure
that no timer event is missed.
