VDSO support for Time namespace needs to set up a page with the same layout as VVAR. That timens page will be placed on position of VVAR page inside namespace. That page contains time namespace clock offsets and it has vdso_data->seq set to 1 to enforce the slow path and vdso_data->clock_mode set to VCLOCK_TIMENS to enforce the time namespace handling path. Allocate the timens page during namespace creation. Setup the offsets when the first task enters the ns and freeze them to guarantee the pace of monotonic/boottime clocks and to avoid breakage of applications. The design decision is to have a global offset_lock which is used during namespace offsets setup and to freeze offsets when the first task joins the new time namespace. That is better in terms of memory usage compared to having a per namespace mutex that's used only during the setup period. Suggested-by:

To support time namespaces in the VDSO with a minimal impact on regular non time namespace affected tasks, the namespace handling needs to be hidden in a slow path. The most obvious place is vdso_seq_begin(). If a task belongs to a time namespace then the VVAR page which contains the system wide VDSO data is replaced with a namespace specific page which has the same layout as the VVAR page. That page has vdso_data->seq set to 1 to enforce the slow path and vdso_data->clock_mode set to VCLOCK_TIMENS to enforce the time namespace handling path. The extra check in the case that vdso_data->seq is odd, e.g. a concurrent update of the VDSO data is in progress, is not really affecting regular tasks which are not part of a time namespace as the task is spin waiting for the update to finish and vdso_data->seq to become even again. If a time namespace task hits that code path, it invokes the corresponding time getter function which retrieves the real VVAR page, reads host time and then adds the offset for the requested clock which is stored in the special VVAR page. Allocate the time namespace page among VVAR pages and place vdso_data on it. Provide __arch_get_timens_vdso_data() helper for VDSO code to get the code-relative position of VVARs on that special page. Co-developed-by:

If a time namespace task hits that code path, it invokes the corresponding time getter function which retrieves the real VVAR page, reads host time and then adds the offset for the requested clock which is stored in the special VVAR page. If VDSO time namespace support is disabled the whole magic is compiled out. Initial testing shows that the disabled case is almost identical to the host case which does not take the slow timens path. With the special timens page installed the performance hit is constant time and in the range of 5-7%. For the vdso functions which are not using the sequence count an unconditional check for vdso_data->clock_mode is added which switches to the real vdso when the clock_mode is VCLOCK_TIMENS. [avagin: Make do_hres_timens() work with raw clocks too: choose vdso_data pointer by CS_RAW offset.] Suggested-by:

Forbid splitting VVAR VMA resulting in a stricter ABI and reducing the amount of corner-cases to consider while working further on VDSO time namespace support. As the offset from timens to VVAR page is computed compile-time, the pages in VVAR should stay together and not being partically mremap()'ed. Co-developed-by:

clock_nanosleep() accepts absolute values of expiration time when TIMER_ABSTIME flag is set. This absolute value is inside the task's time namespace, and has to be converted to the host's time. There is timens_ktime_to_host() helper for converting time, but it accepts ktime argument. As a preparation, make hrtimer_nanosleep() accept a clock value in ktime instead of timespec64.

Wire timer_settime() syscall into time namespace virtualization. sys_timer_settime() calls the ktime->timer_set() callback. Right now, common_timer_set() is the only implementation for the callback. The user-supplied expiry value is converted from timespec64 to ktime and then timens_ktime_to_host() can be used to convert namespace's time to the host time. Inside a time namespace kernel's time differs by a fixed offset from a user-supplied time, but only absolute values (TIMER_ABSTIME) must be converted. Co-developed-by:

Adjust monotonic and boottime clocks with per-timens offsets. As the result a process inside time namespace will see timers and clocks corrected to offsets that were set when the namespace was created Note that applications usually go through vDSO to get time, which is not yet adjusted.

Time Namespace isolates clock values. The kernel provides access to several clocks CLOCK_REALTIME, CLOCK_MONOTONIC, CLOCK_BOOTTIME, etc. CLOCK_REALTIME System-wide clock that measures real (i.e., wall-clock) time. CLOCK_MONOTONIC Clock that cannot be set and represents monotonic time since some unspecified starting point. CLOCK_BOOTTIME Identical to CLOCK_MONOTONIC, except it also includes any time that the system is suspended. For many users, the time namespace means the ability to changes date and time in a container (CLOCK_REALTIME). Providing per namespace notions of CLOCK_REALTIME would be complex with a massive overhead, but has a dubious value. But in the context of checkpoint/restore functionality, monotonic and boottime clocks become interesting. Both clocks are monotonic with unspecified starting points. These clocks are widely used to measure time slices and set timers. After restoring or migrating processes, it has to be guaranteed that they never go backward. In an ideal case, the behavior of these clocks should be the same as for a case when a whole system is suspended. All this means that it is required to set CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_BOOTTIME clocks, which can be achieved by adding per-namespace offsets for clocks. A time namespace is similar to a pid namespace in the way how it is created: unshare(CLONE_NEWTIME) system call creates a new time namespace, but doesn't set it to the current process. Then all children of the process will be born in the new time namespace, or a process can use the setns() system call to join a namespace. This scheme allows setting clock offsets for a namespace, before any processes appear in it. All available clone flags have been used, so CLONE_NEWTIME uses the highest bit of CSIGNAL. It means that it can be used only with the unshare() and the clone3() system calls. [ tglx: Adjusted paragraph about clone3() to reality and massaged the changelog a bit. ] Co-developed-by: -

Vincenzo Frascino authored
VDSO_HAS_32BIT_FALLBACK was introduced to address a regression which caused seccomp to deny access to the applications to clock_gettime64() and clock_getres64() because they are not enabled in the existing filters. The purpose of VDSO_HAS_32BIT_FALLBACK was to simplify the conditional implementation of __cvdso_clock_get*time32() variants. Now that all the architectures that support the generic vDSO library have been converted to support the 32 bit fallbacks the conditional can be removed. Signed-off-by:

Formalize, in kernel documentation, the patch acceptance policy for arch/riscv. In summary, it states that as maintainers, we plan to only accept patches for new modules or extensions that have been frozen or ratified by the RISC-V Foundation. We've been following these guidelines for the past few months. In the meantime, we've received quite a bit of feedback that it would be helpful to have these guidelines formally documented. Based on a suggestion from Matthew Wilcox, we also add a link to this file to Documentation/process/index.rst, to make this document easier to find. The format of this document has also been changed to align to the format outlined in the maintainer entry profiles, in accordance with comments from Jon Corbet and Dan Williams. Signed-off-by:
