2020-02-21y2038: hide timeval/timespec/itimerval/itimerspec typesArnd Bergmann1-10/+12
There are no in-kernel users remaining, but there may still be users that include linux/time.h instead of sys/time.h from user space, so leave the types available to user space while hiding them from kernel space. Only the __kernel_old_* versions of these types remain now.

2019-11-15y2038: uapi: change __kernel_time_t to __kernel_old_time_tArnd Bergmann1-3/+3
This is mainly a patch for clarification, and to let us remove the time_t definition from the kernel to prevent new users from creeping in that might not be y2038-safe. All remaining uses of 'time_t' or '__kernel_time_t' are part of the user API that cannot be changed by that either have a replacement or that do not suffer from the y2038 overflow.

2019-02-14time: Add time_types.hDeepa Dinamani1-35/+1
sys/time.h is the mandated include for many time related defines. However, linux/time.h overlaps sys/time.h significantly and this makes including both from userspace or one from the other impossible. This also means that userspace can get away with including sys/time.h whenever it needs linux/time.h and this is what's been happening in the user world usually. But, we have new data types that we plan to use in the uapi time interfaces also defined in the linux/time.h. But, we are unable to use these types when sys/time.h is included. Hence, move the new types to a new header, time_types.h. We intend to eventually have all the uapi defines that the kernel uses defined in this header. Note that the plan is to replace uapi interfaces with timeval to use __kernel_old_timeval, timespec to use __kernel_old_timespec etc. Reported-by: Ran Rozenstein <ranro@mellanox.com> Fixes: 9718475e6908 ("socket: Add SO_TIMESTAMPING_NEW") Signed-off-by: Deepa Dinamani <deepa.kernel@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2019-02-03socket: Add struct __kernel_sock_timevalDeepa Dinamani1-0/+5
The new type is meant to be used as a y2038 safe structure to be used as part of cmsg data. Presently the SO_TIMESTAMP socket option uses struct timeval for timestamps. This is not y2038 safe. Subsequent patches in the series add new y2038 safe socket option to be used in the place of SO_TIMESTAMP_OLD. struct __kernel_sock_timeval will be used as the timestamp format at that time. struct __kernel_sock_timeval also maintains the same layout across 32 bit and 64 bit ABIs.

struct __kernel_old_timeval is supposed to have the same layout as struct timeval. But, it was inadvarently missed that __kernel_suseconds has a different definition for sparc64.

2018-06-24time: Introduce struct __kernel_itimerspecDeepa Dinamani1-0/+7
struct itimerspec is not y2038-safe. Introduce a new struct __kernel_itimerspec based on the kernel internal y2038-safe struct itimerspec64. The definition of struct __kernel_itimerspec includes two struct __kernel_timespec. Since struct __kernel_timespec has the same representation in native and compat modes, so does struct __kernel_itimerspec. This helps have a common entry point for syscalls using struct __kernel_itimerspec. New y2038-safe syscalls will use this new type. Since most of the new syscalls are just an update to the native syscalls with the type update, place the new definition under CONFIG_64BIT_TIME. This helps architectures that do not support the above config to keep using the old definition of struct itimerspec. Also change the get/put_itimerspec64 to use struct__kernel_itimerspec. This will help 32 bit architectures to use the new syscalls when architectures select CONFIG_64BIT_TIME.

As reported by several folks systemd and other applications rely on the documented behaviour of CLOCK_MONOTONIC on Linux and break with the above changes. After resume daemons time out and other timeout related issues are observed. Rafael compiled this list: * systemd kills daemons on resume, after >WatchdogSec seconds of suspending (Genki Sky). [Verified that that's because systemd uses CLOCK_MONOTONIC and expects it to not include the suspend time.] * systemd-journald misbehaves after resume: systemd-journald[7266]: File /var/log/journal/016627c3c4784cd4812d4b7e96a34226/system.journal corrupted or uncleanly shut down, renaming and replacing. (Mike Galbraith). * NetworkManager reports "networking disabled" and networking is broken after resume 50% of the time (Pavel). [May be because of systemd.] * MATE desktop dims the display and starts the screensaver right after system resume (Pavel). * Full system hang during resume (me). [May be due to systemd or NM or both.] That happens on debian and open suse systems. It's sad, that these problems were neither catched in -next nor by those folks who expressed interest in this change. Reported-by: Rafael J.

2018-04-19time: Add new y2038 safe __kernel_timespecDeepa Dinamani1-0/+7
The new struct __kernel_timespec is similar to current internal kernel struct timespec64 on 64 bit architecture. The compat structure however is similar to below on little endian systems (padding and tv_nsec are switched for big endian systems): typedef s32 compat_long_t; typedef s64 compat_kernel_time64_t; struct compat_kernel_timespec { compat_kernel_time64_t tv_sec; compat_long_t tv_nsec; compat_long_t padding; }; This allows for both the native and compat representations to be the same and syscalls using this type as part of their ABI can have a single entry point to both. Note that the compat define is not included anywhere in the kernel explicitly to avoid confusion. These types will be used by the new syscalls that will be introduced in the consequent patches. Most of the new syscalls are just an update to the existing native ones with this new type. Hence, put this new type under an ifdef so that the architectures can define CONFIG_64BIT_TIME when they are ready to handle this switch.

2018-03-19y2038: Introduce struct __kernel_old_timevalArnd Bergmann1-0/+12
Dealing with 'struct timeval' users in the y2038 series is a bit tricky: We have two definitions of timeval that are visible to user space, one comes from glibc (or some other C library), the other comes from linux/time.h. The kernel copy is what we want to be used for a number of structures defined by the kernel itself, e.g. elf_prstatus (used it core dumps), sysinfo and rusage (used in system calls). These generally tend to be used for passing time intervals rather than absolute (epoch-based) times, so they do not suffer from the y2038 overflow. Some of them could be changed to use 64-bit timestamps by creating new system calls, others like the core files cannot easily be changed. An application using these interfaces likely also uses gettimeofday() or other interfaces that use absolute times, and pass 'struct timeval' pointers directly into kernel interfaces, so glibc must redefine their timeval based on a 64-bit time_t when they introduce their y2038-safe interfaces. The only reasonable way forward I see is to remove the 'timeval' definion from the kernel's uapi headers, and change the interfaces that we do not want to (or cannot) duplicate for 64-bit times to use a new __kernel_old_timeval definition instead. This type should be avoided for all new interfaces (those can use 64-bit nanoseconds, or the 64-bit version of timespec instead), and should be used with great care when converting existing interfaces from timeval, to be sure they don't suffer from the y2038 overflow, and only with consensus for the particular user that using __kernel_old_timeval is better than moving to a 64-bit based interface. The structure name is intentionally chosen to not conflict with user space types, and to be ugly enough to discourage its use. Note that ioctl based interfaces that pass a bare 'timeval' pointer cannot change to '__kernel_old_timeval' because the user space source code refers to 'timeval' instead, and we don't want to modify the user space sources if possible. However, any application that relies on a structure to contain an embedded 'timeval' (e.g. by passing a pointer to the member into a function call that expects a timeval pointer) is broken when that structure gets converted to __kernel_old_timeval. I don't see any way around that, and we have to rely on the compiler to produce a warning or compile failure that will alert users when they recompile their sources against a new libc.

2018-03-13timekeeping: Add the new CLOCK_MONOTONIC_ACTIVE clockThomas Gleixner1-0/+1
The planned change to unify the behaviour of the MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME clocks vs. suspend removes the ability to retrieve the active non-suspended time of a system. Provide a new CLOCK_MONOTONIC_ACTIVE clock which returns the active non-suspended time of the system via clock_gettime(). This preserves the old behaviour of CLOCK_MONOTONIC before the BOOTTIME/MONOTONIC unification. This new clock also allows applications to detect programmatically that the MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME clocks are identical.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with no ↵Greg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+1
license Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default are files without license information under the default license of the kernel, which is GPLV2. Marking them GPLV2 would exclude them from being included in non GPLV2 code, which is obviously not intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception which is in the kernels COPYING file: NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work". otherwise syscall usage would not be possible. Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX license identifier. The chosen identifier is 'GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note' which is the officially assigned identifier for the Linux syscall exception. SPDX license identifiers are 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. See the previous patch in this series for the methodology of how this patch was researched.
