2020-08-06timekeeping/vsyscall: Provide vdso_update_begin/end()Thomas Gleixner1-3/+8
Architectures can have the requirement to add additional architecture specific data to the VDSO data page which needs to be updated independent of the timekeeper updates. To protect these updates vs. concurrent readers and a conflicting update through timekeeping, provide helper functions to make such updates safe. vdso_update_begin() takes the timekeeper_lock to protect against a potential update from timekeeper code and increments the VDSO sequence count to signal data inconsistency to concurrent readers. vdso_update_end() makes the sequence count even again to signal data consistency and drops the timekeeper lock.

2018-01-25kdb: use __ktime_get_real_seconds instead of __current_kernel_timeArnd Bergmann1-2/+0
kdb is the only user of the __current_kernel_time() interface, which is not y2038 safe and should be removed at some point. The kdb code also goes to great lengths to print the time in a human-readable format from 'struct timespec', again using a non-y2038-safe re-implementation of the generic time_to_tm() code. Using __current_kernel_time() here is necessary since the regular accessors that require a sequence lock might hang when called during the xtime update. However, this is safe in the particular case since kdb is only interested in the tv_sec field that is updated atomically. In order to make this y2038-safe, I'm converting the code to the generic time64_to_tm helper, but that introduces the problem that we have no interface like __current_kernel_time() that provides a 64-bit timestamp in a lockless, safe and architecture-independent way. I have multiple ideas for how to solve that: - __ktime_get_real_seconds() is lockless, but can return incorrect results on 32-bit architectures in the special case that we are in the process of changing the time across the epoch, either during the timer tick that overflows the seconds in 2038, or while calling settimeofday. - ktime_get_real_fast_ns() would work in this context, but does require a call into the clocksource driver to return a high-resolution timestamp. This may have undesired side-effects in the debugger, since we want to limit the interactions with the rest of the kernel. - Adding a ktime_get_real_fast_seconds() based on tk_fast_mono plus tkr->base_real without the tk_clock_read() delta. Not sure about the value of adding yet another interface here. - Changing the existing ktime_get_real_seconds() to use tk_fast_mono on 32-bit architectures rather than xtime_sec. I think this could work, but am not entirely sure if this is an improvement. I picked the first of those for simplicity here. It's technically not correct but probably good enough as the time is only used for the debugging output and the race will likely never be hit in practice. Another downside is having to move the declaration into a public header file. Let me know if anyone has a different preference.

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.

2015-12-19clocksource: Make clocksource validation work for all clocksourcesYang Yingliang1-1/+5
The clocksource validation which makes sure that the newly read value is not smaller than the last value only works if the clocksource mask is 64bit, i.e. the counter is 64bit wide. But we want to use that mechanism also for clocksources which are less than 64bit wide. So instead of checking whether bit 63 is set, we check whether the most significant bit of the clocksource mask is set in the delta result. If it is set, we return 0.

In order to fix Y2038 issues in the ntp code we will need replace get_seconds() with ktime_get_real_seconds() but as the ntp code uses the timekeeping lock which is also used by ktime_get_real_seconds(), we need a version without locking.

2014-07-23clocksource: Move cycle_last validation to core codeThomas Gleixner1-0/+9
The only user of the cycle_last validation is the x86 TSC. In order to provide NMI safe accessor functions for clock monotonic and monotonic_raw we need to do that in the core. We can't do the TSC specific if (now < cycle_last) now = cycle_last; for the other wrapping around clocksources, but TSC has CLOCKSOURCE_MASK(64) which actually does not mask out anything so if now is less than cycle_last the subtraction will give a negative result. So we can check for that in clocksource_delta() and return 0 for that case.
