The update of the hrtimer base offsets on all cpus cannot be made atomically from the timekeeper.lock held and interrupt disabled region as smp function calls are not allowed there. clock_was_set(), which enforces the update on all cpus, is called either from preemptible process context in case of do_settimeofday() or from the softirq context when the offset modification happened in the timer interrupt itself due to a leap second. In both cases there is a race window for an hrtimer interrupt between dropping timekeeper lock, enabling interrupts and clock_was_set() issuing the updates. Any interrupt which arrives in that window will see the new time but operate on stale offsets. So we need to make sure that an hrtimer interrupt always sees a consistent state of time and offsets. ktime_get_update_offsets() allows us to get the current monotonic time and update the per cpu hrtimer base offsets from hrtimer_interrupt() to capture a consistent state of monotonic time and the offsets. The function replaces the existing ktime_get() calls in hrtimer_interrupt(). The overhead of the new function vs. ktime_get() is minimal as it just adds two store operations. This ensures that any changes to realtime or boottime offsets are noticed and stored into the per-cpu hrtimer base structures, prior to any hrtimer expiration and guarantees that timers are not expired early.

To finally fix the infamous leap second issue and other race windows caused by functions which change the offsets between the various time bases (CLOCK_MONOTONIC, CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_BOOTTIME) we need a function which atomically gets the current monotonic time and updates the offsets of CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_BOOTTIME with minimalistic overhead. The previous patch which provides ktime_t offsets allows us to make this function almost as cheap as ktime_get() which is going to be replaced in hrtimer_interrupt().

We need to update the hrtimer clock offsets from the hrtimer interrupt context. To avoid conversions from timespec to ktime_t maintain a ktime_t based representation of those offsets in the timekeeper. This puts the conversion overhead into the code which updates the underlying offsets and provides fast accessible values in the hrtimer interrupt.

The timekeeping code misses an update of the hrtimer subsystem after a leap second happened. Due to that timers based on CLOCK_REALTIME are either expiring a second early or late depending on whether a leap second has been inserted or deleted until an operation is initiated which causes that update. Unless the update happens by some other means this discrepancy between the timekeeping and the hrtimer data stays forever and timers are expired either early or late. The reported immediate workaround - $ data -s "`date`" - is causing a call to clock_was_set() which updates the hrtimer data structures. See: http://www.sheeri.com/content/mysql-and-leap-second-high-cpu-and-fix Add the missing clock_was_set() call to update_wall_time() in case of a leap second event. The actual update is deferred to softirq context as the necessary smp function call cannot be invoked from hard interrupt context.

clock_was_set() cannot be called from hard interrupt context because it calls on_each_cpu(). For fixing the widely reported leap seconds issue it is necessary to call it from hard interrupt context, i.e. the timer tick code, which does the timekeeping updates. Provide a new function which denotes it in the hrtimer cpu base structure of the cpu on which it is called and raise the hrtimer softirq. We then execute the clock_was_set() notificiation from softirq context in run_hrtimer_softirq(). The hrtimer softirq is rarely used, so polling the flag there is not a performance issue.

I have a fix for this, but given how late it is for 3.5 I think it is best to revert this for now. There could be other cases that rely on the current although wrong behavior.

Looks like we still have issues with pSeries and Cell idle code vs. the lazy irq state. In fact, the reset fixes that went upstream are exposing the problem more by causing BUG_ON() to trigger (which this patch turns into a WARN_ON instead). We need to be careful when using a variant of low power state that has the side effect of turning interrupts back on, to properly set all the SW & lazy state to look as if everything is enabled before we enter the low power state with MSR:EE off as we will return with MSR:EE on. If not, we have a discrepancy of state which can cause things to go very wrong later on. This patch moves the logic into a helper and uses it from the pseries and cell idle code. The power4/970 idle code already got things right (in assembly even !) so I'm not touching it. The power7 "bare metal" idle code is subtly different and correct. Remains PA6T and some hypervisor based Cell platforms which have questionable code in there, but they are mostly dead platforms so I'll fix them when I manage to get final answers from the respective maintainers about how the low power state actually works on them.

Since ee7cd898 'virtio: expose added descriptors immediately.', in virtio balloon virtqueue_get_buf might now run concurrently with virtqueue_kick. I audited both and this seems safe in practice but this is not guaranteed by the API. Additionally, a spurious interrupt might in theory make virtqueue_get_buf run in parallel with virtqueue_add_buf, which is racy. While we might try to protect against spurious callbacks it's easier to fix the driver: balloon seems to be the only one (mis)using the API like this, so let's just fix balloon.

Pull cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo: "The previous cgroup pull request contained a patch to fix a race condition during cgroup hierarchy umount. Unfortunately, while the patch reduced the race window such that the test case I and Sasha were using didn't trigger it anymore, it wasn't complete - Shyju and Li could reliably trigger the race condition using a different test case. The problem wasn't the gap between dentry deletion and release which the previous patch tried to fix. The window was between the last dput() of a root's child and the resulting dput() of the root. For cgroup dentries, the deletion and release always happen synchronously. As this releases the s_active ref, the refcnt of the root dentry, which doesn't hold s_active, stays above zero without the corresponding s_active. If umount was in progress, the last deactivate_super() proceeds to destory the superblock and triggers BUG() on the non-zero root dentry refcnt after shrinking. This issue surfaced because cgroup dentries are now allowed to linger after rmdir(2) since 3.5-rc1. Before, rmdir synchronously drained the dentry refcnt and the s_active acquired by rmdir from vfs layer protected the whole thing. After 3.5-rc1, cgroup may internally hold and put dentry refs after rmdir finishes and the delayed dput() doesn't have surrounding s_active ref exposing this issue. This pull request contains two patches - one reverting the previous incorrect fix and the other adding the surrounding s_active ref around the delayed dput(). This is quite late in the release cycle but the change is on the safer side and fixes the test cases reliably, so I don't think it's too crazy." * 'for-3.5-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: cgroup: fix cgroup hierarchy umount race Revert "cgroup: superblock can't be released with active dentries"

48ddbe19 "cgroup: make css->refcnt clearing on cgroup removal optional" allowed a css to linger after the associated cgroup is removed. As a css holds a reference on the cgroup's dentry, it means that cgroup dentries may linger for a while. Destroying a superblock which has dentries with positive refcnts is a critical bug and triggers BUG() in vfs code. As each cgroup dentry holds an s_active reference, any lingering cgroup has both its dentry and the superblock pinned and thus preventing premature release of superblock. Unfortunately, after 48ddbe19, there's a small window while releasing a cgroup which is directly under the root of the hierarchy. When a cgroup directory is released, vfs layer first deletes the corresponding dentry and then invokes dput() on the parent, which may recurse further, so when a cgroup directly below root cgroup is released, the cgroup is first destroyed - which releases the s_active it was holding - and then the dentry for the root cgroup is dput(). This creates a window where the root dentry's refcnt isn't zero but superblock's s_active is. If umount happens before or during this window, vfs will see the root dentry with non-zero refcnt and trigger BUG(). Before 48ddbe19, this problem didn't exist because the last dentry reference was guaranteed to be put synchronously from rmdir(2) invocation which holds s_active around the whole process. Fix it by holding an extra superblock->s_active reference across dput() from css release, which is the dput() path added by 48ddbe19 and the only one which doesn't hold an extra s_active ref across the final cgroup dput().

File operations on /dev/ecryptfs would BUG() when the operations were performed by processes other than the process that originally opened the file. This could happen with open files inherited after fork() or file descriptors passed through IPC mechanisms. Rather than calling BUG(), an error code can be safely returned in most situations. In ecryptfs_miscdev_release(), eCryptfs still needs to handle the release even if the last file reference is being held by a process that didn't originally open the file. ecryptfs_find_daemon_by_euid() will not be successful, so a pointer to the daemon is stored in the file's private_data. The private_data pointer is initialized when the miscdev file is opened and only used when the file is released. https://launchpad.net/bugs/994247Signed-off-by: Tyler Hicks <tyhicks@canonical.com> Reported-by: Sasha Levin <levinsasha928@gmail.com> Tested-by: Sasha Levin <levinsasha928@gmail.com>
