2008-09-05hrtimer: convert kernel/* to the new hrtimer apisArjan van de Ven1-6/+4
In order to be able to do range hrtimers we need to use accessor functions to the "expire" member of the hrtimer struct. This patch converts kernel/* to these accessors. Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com>
2008-08-21clocksource: introduce CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAWJohn Stultz1-0/+15
In talking with Josip Loncaric, and his work on clock synchronization (see btime.sf.net), he mentioned that for really close synchronization, it is useful to have access to "hardware time", that is a notion of time that is not in any way adjusted by the clock slewing done to keep close time sync. Part of the issue is if we are using the kernel's ntp adjusted representation of time in order to measure how we should correct time, we can run into what Paul McKenney aptly described as "Painting a road using the lines we're painting as the guide". I had been thinking of a similar problem, and was trying to come up with a way to give users access to a purely hardware based time representation that avoided users having to know the underlying frequency and mask values needed to deal with the wide variety of possible underlying hardware counters. My solution is to introduce CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW. This exposes a nanosecond based time value, that increments starting at bootup and has no frequency adjustments made to it what so ever. The time is accessed from userspace via the posix_clock_gettime() syscall, passing CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW as the clock_id.

release_posix_timer() can't be called with ->it_process != NULL. Once sys_timer_create() sets ->it_process it must not call release_posix_timer(), otherwise we can race with another thread doing sys_timer_delete(), this timer is visible to idr_find() and unlocked. The same is true for two other callers (actually, for any possible caller), sys_timer_delete() and itimer_delete(). They must clear ->it_process before unlock_timer() + release_posix_timer().

2008-07-25posix timers: timer_delete: remove the bogus "->it_process != NULL" checkOleg Nesterov1-10/+8
sys_timer_delete() and itimer_delete() check "timer->it_process != NULL", this looks completely bogus. ->it_process == NULL means that this timer is already under destruction or it is not fully initialized, this must not happen. sys_timer_delete: the timer is locked, and lock_timer() can't succeed if ->it_process == NULL. itimer_delete: it is called by exit_itimers() when there are no other threads which can play with signal_struct->posix_timers.

2008-07-24posix-timers: fix posix_timer_event() vs dequeue_signal() raceOleg Nesterov1-4/+13
The bug was reported and analysed by Mark McLoughlin <markmc@redhat.com>, the patch is based on his and Roland's suggestions. posix_timer_event() always rewrites the pre-allocated siginfo before sending the signal. Most of the written info is the same all the time, but memset(0) is very wrong. If ->sigq is queued we can race with collect_signal() which can fail to find this siginfo looking at .si_signo, or copy_siginfo() can copy the wrong .si_code/si_tid/etc. In short, sys_timer_settime() can in fact stop the active timer, or the user can receive the siginfo with the wrong .si_xxx values. Move "memset(->info, 0)" from posix_timer_event() to alloc_posix_timer(), change send_sigqueue() to set .si_overrun = 0 when ->sigq is not queued. It would be nice to move the whole sigq->info initialization from send to create path, but this is not easy to do without uglifying timer_create() further. As Roland rightly pointed out, we need more cleanups/fixes here, see the "FIXME" comment in the patch. Hopefully this patch makes sense anyway, and it can mask the most bad implications.

2008-02-10hrtimer: fix *rmtp handling in hrtimer_nanosleep()Oleg Nesterov1-14/+3
Spotted by Pavel Emelyanov and Alexey Dobriyan. hrtimer_nanosleep() sets restart_block->arg1 = rmtp, but this rmtp points to the local variable which lives in the caller's stack frame. This means that if sys_restart_syscall() actually happens and it is interrupted as well, we don't update the user-space variable, but write into the already dead stack frame. Introduced by commit 04c227140fed77587432667a574b14736a06dd7f hrtimer: Rework hrtimer_nanosleep to make sys_compat_nanosleep easier Change the callers to pass "__user *rmtp" to hrtimer_nanosleep(), and change hrtimer_nanosleep() to use copy_to_user() to actually update *rmtp. Small problem remains. man 2 nanosleep states that *rtmp should be written if nanosleep() was interrupted (it says nothing whether it is OK to update *rmtp if nanosleep returns 0), but (with or without this patch) we can dirty *rem even if nanosleep() returns 0. NOTE: this patch doesn't change compat_sys_nanosleep(), because it has other bugs. Fixed by the next patch.

2008-02-05timerfd: new timerfd APIDavide Libenzi1-4/+5
This is the new timerfd API as it is implemented by the following patch: int timerfd_create(int clockid, int flags); int timerfd_settime(int ufd, int flags, const struct itimerspec *utmr, struct itimerspec *otmr); int timerfd_gettime(int ufd, struct itimerspec *otmr); The timerfd_create() API creates an un-programmed timerfd fd. The "clockid" parameter can be either CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_REALTIME. The timerfd_settime() API give new settings by the timerfd fd, by optionally retrieving the previous expiration time (in case the "otmr" parameter is not NULL). The time value specified in "utmr" is absolute, if the TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME bit is set in the "flags" parameter. Otherwise it's a relative time. The timerfd_gettime() API returns the next expiration time of the timer, or {0, 0} if the timerfd has not been set yet. Like the previous timerfd API implementation, read(2) and poll(2) are supported (with the same interface). Here's a simple test program I used to exercise the new timerfd APIs: http://www.xmailserver.org/timerfd-test2.c [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style cleanups] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix ia64 build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix m68k build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix mips build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix alpha, arm, blackfin, cris, m68k, s390, sparc and sparc64 builds] [heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com: fix s390] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix powerpc build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix sparc64 more] Signed-off-by: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk-manpages@gmx.net> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk-manpages@gmx.net> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com> Cc: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2007-10-19Isolate some explicit usage of task->tgidPavel Emelyanov1-2/+2
With pid namespaces this field is now dangerous to use explicitly, so hide it behind the helpers. Also the pid and pgrp fields o task_struct and signal_struct are to be deprecated. Unfortunately this patch cannot be sent right now as this leads to tons of warnings, so start isolating them, and deprecate later. Actually the p->tgid == pid has to be changed to has_group_leader_pid(), but Oleg pointed out that in case of posix cpu timers this is the same, and thread_group_leader() is more preferable.

2007-08-22posix-timers: fix creation raceOleg Nesterov1-1/+1
sys_timer_create() sets ->it_process and unlocks ->siglock, then checks tmr->it_sigev_notify to define if get_task_struct() is needed. We already passed ->it_id to the caller, another thread can delete this timer and free its memory in between. As a minimal fix, move this code under ->siglock, sys_timer_delete() takes it too before calling release_posix_timer(). A proper serialization would be to take ->it_lock, we add a partly initialized timer on posix_timers_id, not good.

This allows release_posix_timer() to delete the timer before the lock code can check the timer: CPU 0 CPU 1 lock_timer(); timer->it_process = NULL; unlock_timer(); lock_timer() spin_lock(idr_lock); timer = idr_find(); spin_lock(timer->lock); spin_unlock(idr_lock); release_posix_timer(); spin_lock(idr_lock); idr_remove(timer); spin_unlock(idr_lock); free_timer(timer); if (timer->......)

2007-06-21posix-timers: Prevent softirq starvation by small intervals and SIG_IGNThomas Gleixner1-2/+33
posix-timers which deliver an ignored signal are currently rearmed in the timer softirq: This is necessary because the timer needs to be delivered again when SIG_IGN is removed. This is not a problem, when the interval is reasonable. With high resolution timers enabled one might arm a posix timer with a very small interval and ignore the signal. This might lead to a softirq starvation when the interval is so small that the timer is requeued onto the softirq pending list right away. This problem was pointed out by Jan Kiszka. Thanks Jan ! The correct solution would be to stop the timer, when the signal is ignored and rearm it when SIG_IGN is removed. Unfortunately this requires modification in sigaction and involves non trivial sighand locking. It's too late in the release cycle for such a change. For now we just keep the timer running and enforce that the timer only fires every jiffie. This does not break anything as we keep the overrun counter correct. It adds a little inaccuracy to the timer_gettime() interface, but... The more complex change is necessary anyway to fix another short coming of the current implementation, which I discovered while looking at this problem: A pending signal is discarded when SIG_IGN is set. In case that a posixtimer signal is pending then it is discarded as well, but when SIG_IGN is removed later nothing rearms the timer. This is not new, it's that way since posix timers have been merged. So nothing to worry about right now. I have a working solution to fix all of this, but the impact is too large for both stable and 2.6.22. I'm going to send it out for review in the next days. This should go into 2.6.21.stable as well.

Clean up the interface to hrtimers by changing the init code to pass the mode as well as the clock. This allow the init code to select the correct base and eliminates extra timer re-init code in posix-timers. We also simplify the restart interface nanosleep use.

2005-10-21[PATCH] Call exit_itimers from do_exit, not __exit_signalRoland McGrath1-1/+1
When I originally moved exit_itimers into __exit_signal, that was the only place where we could reliably know it was the last thread in the group dying, without races. Since then we've gotten the signal_struct.live counter, and do_exit can reliably do group-wide cleanup work. This patch moves the call to do_exit, where it's made without locks. This avoids the deadlock issues that the old __exit_signal code's comment talks about, and the one that Oleg found recently with process CPU timers.

2005-09-07[PATCH] fix send_sigqueue() vs thread exit raceOleg Nesterov1-13/+15
posix_timer_event() first checks that the thread (SIGEV_THREAD_ID case) does not have PF_EXITING flag, then it calls send_sigqueue() which locks task list. But if the thread exits in between the kernel will oops (->sighand == NULL after __exit_sighand). This patch moves the PF_EXITING check into the send_sigqueue(), it must be done atomically under tasklist_lock. When send_sigqueue() detects exiting thread it returns -1. In that case posix_timer_event will send the signal to thread group. Also, this patch fixes task_struct use-after-free in posix_timer_event.

2005-07-28[PATCH] posix timers: fix normalization problemGeorge Anzinger1-14/+3
(We found this (after a customer complained) and it is in the kernel.org kernel. Seems that for CLOCK_MONOTONIC absolute timers and clock_nanosleep calls both the request time and wall_to_monotonic are subtracted prior to the normalize resulting in an overflow in the existing normalize test. This causes the result to be shifted ~4 seconds ahead instead of ~2 seconds back in time.) The normalize code in posix-timers.c fails when the tv_nsec member is ~1.2 seconds negative. This can happen on absolute timers (and clock_nanosleeps) requested on CLOCK_MONOTONIC (both the request time and wall_to_monotonic are subtracted resulting in the possibility of a number close to -2 seconds.) This fix uses the set_normalized_timespec() (which does not have an overflow problem) to fix the problem and as a side effect makes the code cleaner.
