2020-10-16kernel.h: split out min()/max() et al. helpersAndy Shevchenko1-1/+2
kernel.h is being used as a dump for all kinds of stuff for a long time. Here is the attempt to start cleaning it up by splitting out min()/max() et al. helpers. At the same time convert users in header and lib folder to use new header. Though for time being include new header back to kernel.h to avoid twisted indirected includes for other existing users.

2020-03-21linux/jiffies.h: Extract common header for vDSOVincenzo Frascino1-3/+1
The vDSO library should only include the necessary headers required for a userspace library (UAPI and a minimal set of kernel headers). To make this possible it is necessary to isolate from the kernel headers the common parts that are strictly necessary to build the library. Split jiffies.h into linux and common headers to make the latter suitable for inclusion in the vDSO library.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+1
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is 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. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

2014-09-12jiffies: Fix timeval conversion to jiffiesAndrew Hunter1-12/+0
timeval_to_jiffies tried to round a timeval up to an integral number of jiffies, but the logic for doing so was incorrect: intervals corresponding to exactly N jiffies would become N+1. This manifested itself particularly repeatedly stopping/starting an itimer: setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &val, NULL); setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, NULL, &val); would add a full tick to val, _even if it was exactly representable in terms of jiffies_ (say, the result of a previous rounding.) Doing this repeatedly would cause unbounded growth in val. So fix the math. Here's what was wrong with the conversion: we essentially computed (eliding seconds) jiffies = usec * (NSEC_PER_USEC/TICK_NSEC) by using scaling arithmetic, which took the best approximation of NSEC_PER_USEC/TICK_NSEC with denominator of 2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC = x/(2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC), and computed: jiffies = (usec * x) >> USEC_JIFFIE_SC and rounded this calculation up in the intermediate form (since we can't necessarily exactly represent TICK_NSEC in usec.) But the scaling arithmetic is a (very slight) *over*approximation of the true value; that is, instead of dividing by (1 usec/ 1 jiffie), we effectively divided by (1 usec/1 jiffie)-epsilon (rounding down). This would normally be fine, but we want to round timeouts up, and we did so by adding 2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC - 1 before the shift; this would be fine if our division was exact, but dividing this by the slightly smaller factor was equivalent to adding just _over_ 1 to the final result (instead of just _under_ 1, as desired.) In particular, with HZ=1000, we consistently computed that 10000 usec was 11 jiffies; the same was true for any exact multiple of TICK_NSEC. We could possibly still round in the intermediate form, adding something less than 2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC - 1, but easier still is to convert usec->nsec, round in nanoseconds, and then convert using time*spec*_to_jiffies. This adds one constant multiplication, and is not observably slower in microbenchmarks on recent x86 hardware. Tested: the following program: int main() { struct itimerval zero = {{0, 0}, {0, 0}}; /* Initially set to 10 ms. */ struct itimerval initial = zero; initial.it_interval.tv_usec = 10000; setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &initial, NULL); /* Save and restore several times. */ for (size_t i = 0; i < 10; ++i) { struct itimerval prev; setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &zero, &prev); /* on old kernels, this goes up by TICK_USEC every iteration */ printf("previous value: %ld %ld %ld %ld\n", prev.it_interval.tv_sec, prev.it_interval.tv_usec, prev.it_value.tv_sec, prev.it_value.tv_usec); setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &prev, NULL); } return 0; } Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Turner <pjt@google.com> Cc: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@gmail.com> Cc: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Paul Turner <pjt@google.com> Reported-by: Aaron Jacobs <jacobsa@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Hunter <ahh@google.com> [jstultz: Tweaked to apply to 3.17-rc] Signed-off-by: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org>
2014-01-16sched/nohz: Fix overflow error in scheduler_tick_max_deferment()Kevin Hilman1-0/+6
While calculating the scheduler tick max deferment, the delta is converted from microseconds to nanoseconds through a multiplication against NSEC_PER_USEC. But this microseconds operand is an unsigned int, thus the result may likely overflow. The result is cast to u64 but only once the operation is completed, which is too late to avoid overflown result. This is currently not a problem because the scheduler tick max deferment is 1 second. But this may become an issue as we plan to make this value tunable. So lets fix this by casting the usecs value to u64 before multiplying by NSECS_PER_USEC. Also to prevent from this kind of mistake to happen again, move this ad-hoc jiffies -> nsecs conversion to a new helper.

2013-08-20jiffies: Avoid undefined behavior from signed overflowPaul E. McKenney1-4/+4
According to the C standard 3.4.3p3, overflow of a signed integer results in undefined behavior. This commit therefore changes the definitions of time_after(), time_after_eq(), time_after64(), and time_after_eq64() to avoid this undefined behavior. The trick is that the subtraction is done using unsigned arithmetic, which according to 6.2.5p9 cannot overflow because it is defined as modulo arithmetic. This has the added (though admittedly quite small) benefit of shortening four lines of code by four characters each. Note that the C standard considers the cast from unsigned to signed to be implementation-defined, see 6.3.1.3p3. However, on a two's-complement system, an implementation that defines anything other than a reinterpretation of the bits is free to come to me, and I will be happy to act as a witness for its being committed to an insane asylum. (Although I have nothing against saturating arithmetic or signals in some cases, these things really should not be the default when compiling an operating-system kernel.) Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Patch a7ea3bbf5d "time/jiffies: Allow CLOCK_TICK_RATE to be undefined" breaks the compilation of targets that rely on the LATCH definition, because of recursive header file inclusion not defining CLOCK_TICK_RATE before it is checked here. This fixes the problem by moving LATCH back to where it was, but it seems that there are still cases where SHIFTED_HZ is defined incorrectly because of the same problem. Need to investigate further.

2012-09-24jiffies: Remove compile time assumptions about CLOCK_TICK_RATEJohn Stultz1-13/+2
CLOCK_TICK_RATE is used to accurately caclulate exactly how a tick will be at a given HZ. This is useful, because while we'd expect NSEC_PER_SEC/HZ, the underlying hardware will have some granularity limit, so we won't be able to have exactly HZ ticks per second. This slight error can cause timekeeping quality problems when using the jiffies or other jiffies driven clocksources. Thus we currently use compile time CLOCK_TICK_RATE value to generate SHIFTED_HZ and NSEC_PER_JIFFIES, which we then use to adjust the jiffies clocksource to correct this error. Unfortunately though, since CLOCK_TICK_RATE is a compile time value, and the jiffies clocksource is registered very early during boot, there are a number of cases where there are different possible hardware timers that have different tick rates. This causes problems in cases like ARM where there are numerous different types of hardware, each having their own compile-time CLOCK_TICK_RATE, making it hard to accurately support different hardware with a single kernel. For the most part, this doesn't matter all that much, as not too many systems actually utilize the jiffies or jiffies driven clocksource. Usually there are other highres clocksources who's granularity error is negligable. Even so, we have some complicated calcualtions that we do everywhere to handle these edge cases. This patch removes the compile time SHIFTED_HZ value, and introduces a register_refined_jiffies() function. This results in the default jiffies clock as being assumed a perfect HZ freq, and allows archtectures that care about jiffies accuracy to call register_refined_jiffies() with the tick rate, specified dynamically at boot. This allows us, where necessary, to not have a compile time CLOCK_TICK_RATE constant, simplifies the jiffies code, and still provides a way to have an accurate jiffies clock. NOTE: Since this patch does not add register_refinied_jiffies() calls for every arch, it may cause time quality regressions in some cases. Its likely these will not be noticable, but if they are an issue, adding the following to the end of setup_arch() should resolve the regression: register_refinied_jiffies(CLOCK_TICK_RATE) Cc: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@gmail.com> Cc: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org>

Various /proc/net files sometimes report crazy timer values, expressed in clock_t units. This happens when an expired timer delta (expires - jiffies) is passed to jiffies_to_clock_t(). This function has an overflow in : return div_u64((u64)x * TICK_NSEC, NSEC_PER_SEC / USER_HZ); commit cbbc719fccdb8cb (time: Change jiffies_to_clock_t() argument type to unsigned long) only got around the problem. As we cant output negative values in /proc/net/tcp without breaking various tools, I suggest adding a jiffies_delta_to_clock_t() wrapper that caps the negative delta to a 0 value.

2012-07-31time/jiffies: Allow CLOCK_TICK_RATE to be undefinedCatalin Marinas1-4/+8
CLOCK_TICK_RATE is a legacy constant that defines the timer device's granularity. On hardware with particularly coarse granularity, this constant is used to reduce accumulated time error when using jiffies as a clocksource, by calculating the hardware's actual tick length rather then just assuming it is 1sec/HZ. However, for the most part this is unnecessary, as most modern systems don't use jiffies for their clocksource, and their tick device is sufficiently fine grained to avoid major error. Thus, this patch allows an architecture to not define CLOCK_TICK_RATE, in which case ACTHZ defaults to (HZ << 8).

2008-12-23optimize attribute timeouts for "noac" and "actimeo=0"Peter Staubach1-0/+10
Hi. I've been looking at a bugzilla which describes a problem where a customer was advised to use either the "noac" or "actimeo=0" mount options to solve a consistency problem that they were seeing in the file attributes. It turned out that this solution did not work reliably for them because sometimes, the local attribute cache was believed to be valid and not timed out. (With an attribute cache timeout of 0, the cache should always appear to be timed out.) In looking at this situation, it appears to me that the problem is that the attribute cache timeout code has an off-by-one error in it. It is assuming that the cache is valid in the region, [read_cache_jiffies, read_cache_jiffies + attrtimeo]. The cache should be considered valid only in the region, [read_cache_jiffies, read_cache_jiffies + attrtimeo). With this change, the options, "noac" and "actimeo=0", work as originally expected. This problem was previously addressed by special casing the attrtimeo == 0 case. However, since the problem is only an off- by-one error, the cleaner solution is address the off-by-one error and thus, not require the special case.

x86 is the only arch right now, which provides an optimized for div_long_long_rem and it has the downside that one has to be very careful that the divide doesn't overflow. The API is a little akward, as the arguments for the unsigned divide are signed. The signed version also doesn't handle a negative divisor and produces worse code on 64bit archs. There is little incentive to keep this API alive, so this converts the few users to the new API.
