Prepare to add Hyper-V sched clock callback and move Hyper-V Reference TSC initialization much earlier in the boot process. Earlier initialization is needed so that it happens while the timestamp value is still 0 and no discontinuity in the timestamp will occur when pv_ops.time.sched_clock calculates its offset. The earlier initialization requires that the Hyper-V TSC page be allocated statically instead of with vmalloc(), so fixup the references to the TSC page and the method of getting its physical address.

Warning when p == NULL and then proceeding and dereferencing p does not make any sense as the kernel will crash with a NULL pointer dereference right away. Bailing out when p == NULL and returning an error code does not cure the underlying problem which caused p to be NULL. Though it might allow to do proper debugging. Same applies to the clock id check in set_process_cpu_timer(). Clean them up and make them return without trying to do further damage. Signed-off-by:

migration_base is used as a placeholder when an hrtimer is migrated to a different CPU. In the case that hrtimer_cancel_wait_running() hits a timer which is currently migrated it would pointlessly acquire the expiry lock of the migration base, which is even not initialized. Surely it could be initialized, but there is absolutely no point in acquiring this lock because the timer is guaranteed not to run it's callback for which the caller waits to finish on that base. So it would just do the inc/lock/dec/unlock dance for nothing. As the base switch is short and non-preemptible, there is no issue when the wait function returns immediately. The timer base and base->cpu_base cannot be NULL in the code path which is invoking that, so just replace those checks with a check whether base is migration base. [ tglx: Updated from RT patch.

The update to timer->base is protected by the base->cpu_base->lock(). However, hrtimer_cancel_wait_running() does access it lockless. So the compiler is allowed to refetch timer->base which can cause havoc when the timer base is changed concurrently. Use READ_ONCE() to prevent this. [ tglx: Adapted from a RT patch ] Signed-off-by:

The handling of a priority inversion between timer cancelling and a a not well defined possible preemption of softirq kthread is not very clear. Especially in the posix timers side it's unclear why there is a specific RT wait callback. All the nice explanations can be found in the initial changelog of f61eff83 (hrtimer: Prepare support for PREEMPT_RT"). Extract the detailed informations from there and put it into comments.

Posix timer delete retry loops are affected by the same priority inversion and live lock issues as the other timers. Provide a RT specific synchronization function which keeps a reference to the timer by holding rcu read lock to prevent the timer from being freed, dropping the timer lock and invoking the timer specific wait function via a new callback. This does not yet cover posix CPU timers because they need more special treatment on PREEMPT_RT. [ This is folded into the original attempt which did not use a callback. ] Originally-by:Anna-Maria Gleixenr <anna-maria@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by:

Timer deletion on PREEMPT_RT is prone to priority inversion and live locks. The hrtimer code has a synchronization mechanism for this. Posix CPU timers will grow one. But that mechanism cannot be invoked while holding the k_itimer lock because that can deadlock against the running timer callback. So the lock must be dropped which allows the timer to be freed. The timer free can be prevented by taking RCU readlock before dropping the lock, but because the rcu_head is part of the 'it' union a concurrent free will overwrite the hrtimer on which the task is trying to synchronize. Move the rcu_head out of the union to prevent this. [ tglx: Fixed up kernel-doc. Rewrote changelog ] Signed-off-by:

When PREEMPT_RT is enabled, the soft interrupt thread can be preempted. If the soft interrupt thread is preempted in the middle of a timer callback, then calling del_timer_sync() can lead to two issues: - If the caller is on a remote CPU then it has to spin wait for the timer handler to complete. This can result in unbound priority inversion. - If the caller originates from the task which preempted the timer handler on the same CPU, then spin waiting for the timer handler to complete is never going to end. To avoid these issues, add a new lock to the timer base which is held around the execution of the timer callbacks. If del_timer_sync() detects that the timer callback is currently running, it blocks on the expiry lock. When the callback is finished, the expiry lock is dropped by the softirq thread which wakes up the waiter and the system makes progress. This addresses both the priority inversion and the life lock issues. This mechanism is not used for timers which are marked IRQSAFE as for those preemption is disabled accross the callback and therefore this situation cannot happen. The callbacks for such timers need to be individually audited for RT compliance. The same issue can happen in virtual machines when the vCPU which runs a timer callback is scheduled out. If a second vCPU of the same guest calls del_timer_sync() it will spin wait for the other vCPU to be scheduled back in. The expiry lock mechanism would avoid that. It'd be trivial to enable this when paravirt spinlocks are enabled in a guest, but it's not clear whether this is an actual problem in the wild, so for now it's an RT only mechanism. As the softirq thread can be preempted with PREEMPT_RT=y, the SMP variant of del_timer_sync() needs to be used on UP as well. [ tglx: Refactored it for mainline ] Signed-off-by: -

On PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels hrtimers which are not explicitely marked for hard interrupt expiry mode are moved into soft interrupt context either for latency reasons or because the hrtimer callback takes regular spinlocks or invokes other functions which are not suitable for hard interrupt context on PREEMPT_RT. The hrtimer_sleeper callback is RT compatible in hard interrupt context, but there is a latency concern: Untrusted userspace can spawn many threads which arm timers for the same expiry time on the same CPU. On expiry that causes a latency spike due to the wakeup of a gazillion threads. OTOH, priviledged real-time user space applications rely on the low latency of hard interrupt wakeups. These syscall related wakeups are all based on hrtimer sleepers. If the current task is in a real-time scheduling class, mark the mode for hard interrupt expiry.

hrtimer_start_range_ns() has a WARN_ONCE() which verifies that a timer which is marker for softirq expiry is not queued in the hard interrupt base and vice versa. When PREEMPT_RT is enabled, timers which are not explicitely marked to expire in hard interrupt context are deferrred to the soft interrupt. So the regular check would trigger.

Simplify the timerqueue code by using cached rbtrees and rely on the tree leftmost node semantics to get the timer with earliest expiration time. This is a drop in conversion, and therefore semantics remain untouched. The runtime overhead of cached rbtrees is be pretty much the same as the current head->next method, noting that when removing the leftmost node, a common operation for the timerqueue, the rb_next(leftmost) is O(1) as well, so the next timer will either be the right node or its parent. Therefore no extra pointer chasing. Finally, the size of the struct timerqueue_head remains the same. Passes several hours of rcutorture. Signed-off-by:

The merge of the CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT stub renamed CONFIG_PREEMPT to CONFIG_PREEMPT_LL which causes all defconfigs which have CONFIG_PREEMPT=y set to fall back to CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE because CONFIG_PREEMPT depends on the preemption mode choice wich defaults to NONE. This also affects oldconfig builds. So rather than changing 114 defconfig files and being an annoyance to users, revert the rename and select a new config symbol PREEMPTION. That keeps everything working smoothly and the revelant ifdef's are going to be fixed up step by step. Reported-by:
