copy_process currently copies task_struct.posix_cputimers_work as-is. If a
timer interrupt arrives while handling clone and before dup_task_struct
completes then the child task will have:
1. posix_cputimers_work.scheduled = true
2. posix_cputimers_work.work queued.
copy_process clears task_struct.task_works, so (2) will have no effect and
posix_cpu_timers_work will never run (not to mention it doesn't make sense
for two tasks to share a common linked list).
Since posix_cpu_timers_work never runs, posix_cputimers_work.scheduled is
never cleared. Since scheduled is set, future timer interrupts will skip
scheduling work, with the ultimate result that the task will never receive
timer expirations.
Together, the complete flow is:
1. Task 1 calls clone(), enters kernel.
2. Timer interrupt fires, schedules task work on Task 1.
2a. task_struct.posix_cputimers_work.scheduled = true
2b. task_struct.posix_cputimers_work.work added to
task_struct.task_works.
3. dup_task_struct() copies Task 1 to Task 2.
4. copy_process() clears task_struct.task_works for Task 2.
5. Future timer interrupts on Task 2 see
task_struct.posix_cputimers_work.scheduled = true and skip scheduling
work.
Fix this by explicitly clearing contents of task_struct.posix_cputimers_work
in copy_process(). This was never meant to be shared or inherited across
tasks in the first place.

Resetting/stopping an itimer eventually leads to it being reprogrammed
with an actual "0" value. As a result the itimer expires on the next
tick, triggering an unexpected signal.
To fix this, make sure that
struct signal_struct::it[CPUCLOCK_PROF/VIRT]::expires is set to 0 when
setitimer() passes a 0 it_value, indicating that the timer must stop.

There are several scenarios that can result in posix_cpu_timer_set()
not queueing the timer but still leaving the threadgroup cputime counter
running or keeping the tick dependency around for a random amount of time.
1) If timer_settime() is called with a 0 expiration on a timer that is
already disabled, the process wide cputime counter will be started
and won't ever get a chance to be stopped by stop_process_timer()
since no timer is actually armed to be processed.
The following snippet is enough to trigger the issue.
void trigger_process_counter(void)
{
timer_t id;
struct itimerspec val = { };
timer_create(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID, NULL, &id);
timer_settime(id, TIMER_ABSTIME, &val, NULL);
timer_delete(id);
}
2) If timer_settime() is called with a 0 expiration on a timer that is
already armed, the timer is dequeued but not really disarmed. So the
process wide cputime counter and the tick dependency may still remain
a while around.
The following code snippet keeps this overhead around for one week after
the timer deletion:
void trigger_process_counter(void)
{
timer_t id;
struct itimerspec val = { };
val.it_value.tv_sec = 604800;
timer_create(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID, NULL, &id);
timer_settime(id, 0, &val, NULL);
timer_delete(id);
}
3) If the timer was initially deactivated, this call to timer_settime()
with an early expiration may have started the process wide cputime
counter even though the timer hasn't been queued and armed because it
has fired early and inline within posix_cpu_timer_set() itself. As a
result the process wide cputime counter may never stop until a new
timer is ever armed in the future.
The following code snippet can reproduce this:
void trigger_process_counter(void)
{
timer_t id;
struct itimerspec val = { };
signal(SIGALRM, SIG_IGN);
timer_create(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID, NULL, &id);
val.it_value.tv_nsec = 1;
timer_settime(id, TIMER_ABSTIME, &val, NULL);
}
4) If the timer was initially armed with a former expiration value
before this call to timer_settime() and the current call sets an
early deadline that has already expired, the timer fires inline
within posix_cpu_timer_set(). In this case it must have been dequeued
before firing inline with its new expiration value, yet it hasn't
been disarmed in this case. So the process wide cputime counter and
the tick dependency may still be around for a while even after the
timer fired.
The following code snippet can reproduce this:
void trigger_process_counter(void)
{
timer_t id;
struct itimerspec val = { };
signal(SIGALRM, SIG_IGN);
timer_create(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID, NULL, &id);
val.it_value.tv_sec = 100;
timer_settime(id, TIMER_ABSTIME, &val, NULL);
val.it_value.tv_sec = 0;
val.it_value.tv_nsec = 1;
timer_settime(id, TIMER_ABSTIME, &val, NULL);
}
Fix all these issues with triggering the related base next expiration
recalculation on the next tick. This also implies to re-evaluate the need
to keep around the process wide cputime counter and the tick dependency, in
a similar fashion to disarm_timer().

When an itimer deactivates a previously armed expiration, it simply doesn't
do anything. As a result the process wide cputime counter keeps running and
the tick dependency stays set until it reaches the old ghost expiration
value.
This can be reproduced with the following snippet:
void trigger_process_counter(void)
{
struct itimerval n = {};
n.it_value.tv_sec = 100;
setitimer(ITIMER_VIRTUAL, &n, NULL);
n.it_value.tv_sec = 0;
setitimer(ITIMER_VIRTUAL, &n, NULL);
}
Fix this with resetting the relevant base expiration. This is similar to
disarming a timer.

A timer deletion only dequeues the timer but it doesn't shutdown
the related costly process wide cputimer counter and the tick dependency.
The following code snippet keeps this overhead around for one week after
the timer deletion:
void trigger_process_counter(void)
{
timer_t id;
struct itimerspec val = { };
val.it_value.tv_sec = 604800;
timer_create(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID, NULL, &id);
timer_settime(id, 0, &val, NULL);
timer_delete(id);
}

Starting the process wide cputime counter needs to be done in the same
sighand locking sequence than actually arming the related timer otherwise
this races against concurrent timers setting/expiring in the same
threadgroup.
Detecting that the cputime counter is started without holding the sighand
lock is a first step toward debugging such situations.

Since the process wide cputime counter is started locklessly from
posix_cpu_timer_rearm(), it can be concurrently stopped by operations
on other timers from the same thread group, such as in the following
unlucky scenario:
CPU 0 CPU 1
----- -----
timer_settime(TIMER B)
posix_cpu_timer_rearm(TIMER A)
cpu_clock_sample_group()
(pct->timers_active already true)
handle_posix_cpu_timers()
check_process_timers()
stop_process_timers()
pct->timers_active = false
arm_timer(TIMER A)
tick -> run_posix_cpu_timers()
// sees !pct->timers_active, ignore
// our TIMER A
Fix this with simply locking process wide cputime counting start and

Running posix CPU timers in hard interrupt context has a few downsides:
- For PREEMPT_RT it cannot work as the expiry code needs to take
sighand lock, which is a 'sleeping spinlock' in RT. The original RT
approach of offloading the posix CPU timer handling into a high
priority thread was clumsy and provided no real benefit in general.
- For fine grained accounting it's just wrong to run this in context of
the timer interrupt because that way a process specific CPU time is
accounted to the timer interrupt.
- Long running timer interrupts caused by a large amount of expiring
timers which can be created and armed by unpriviledged user space.
There is no hard requirement to expire them in interrupt context.
If the signal is targeted at the task itself then it won't be delivered
before the task returns to user space anyway. If the signal is targeted at
a supervisor process then it might be slightly delayed, but posix CPU
timers are inaccurate anyway due to the fact that they are tied to the
tick.
Provide infrastructure to schedule task work which allows splitting the
posix CPU timer code into a quick check in interrupt context and a thread
context expiry and signal delivery function. This has to be enabled by
architectures as it requires that the architecture specific KVM
implementation handles pending task work before exiting to guest mode.

Now that the codes store references to pids instead of referendes to
tasks. Looking up a task for a clock instead of looking up a struct
pid makes the code more difficult to verify it is correct than
necessary.
In posix_cpu_timers_create get_task_pid can race with release_task for
threads and return a NULL pid. As put_pid and cpu_timer_task_rcu
handle NULL pids just fine the code works without problems but it is
an extra case to consider and keep in mind while verifying and
modifying the code.
There are races with de_thread to consider that only don't apply
because thread clocks are only allowed for threads in the same
thread_group.
So instead of leaving a burden for people making modification to the
code in the future return a rcu protected struct pid for the clock
instead.
The logic for __get_task_for_pid and lookup_task has been folded into
the new function pid_for_clock with the only change being the logic
has been modified from working on a task to working on a pid that
will be returned.
In posix_cpu_clock_get instead of calling pid_for_clock checking the
result and then calling pid_task to get the task. The result of
pid_for_clock is fed directly into pid_task. This is safe because
pid_task handles NULL pids. As such an extra error check was
unnecessary.
Instead of hiding the flag that enables the special clock_gettime
handling, I have made the 3 callers just pass the flag in themselves.
That is less code and seems just as simple to work with as the
wrapper functions.
Historically the clock_gettime special case of allowing a process
clock to be found by the thread id did not even exist [33ab0fec33]
but Thomas Gleixner reports that he has found code that uses that
functionality [55e8c8eb2c].

Replace has_group_leader_pid with thread_group_leader. Years ago Oleg
suggested changing thread_group_leader to has_group_leader_pid to handle

Especially as then the code really did need to be the
thread_group_leader.
Today it doesn't make a difference if thread_group_leader races with
de_thread as the task returned from lookup_task in the non-thread case is
just used to find values in task->signal.
Since the races with de_thread have never been handled revert
has_group_header_pid to thread_group_leader for clarity.
Update the comment in lookup_task to remove implementation details that
are no longer true and to mention task->signal instead of task->sighand,
as the relevant cpu timer details are all in task->signal.

Splitting run_posix_cpu_timers() into two parts is work in progress which
is stuck on other entry code related problems. The heavy lifting which
involves locking of sighand lock will be moved into task context so the
necessary execution time is burdened on the task and not on interrupt
context.
Until this work completes lockdep with the spinlock nesting rules enabled
would emit warnings for this known context.
Prevent it by setting "->irq_config = 1" for the invocation of
run_posix_cpu_timers() so lockdep does not complain when sighand lock is
acquried. This will be removed once the split is completed.

posix cpu timers do not handle the death of a process well.
This is most clearly seen when a multi-threaded process calls exec from a
thread that is not the leader of the thread group. The posix cpu timer code
continues to pin the old thread group leader and is unable to find the
siglock from there.
This results in posix_cpu_timer_del being unable to delete a timer,
posix_cpu_timer_set being unable to set a timer. Further to compensate for
the problems in posix_cpu_timer_del on a multi-threaded exec all timers
that point at the multi-threaded task are stopped.
The code for the timers fundamentally needs to check if the target
process/thread is alive. This needs an extra level of indirection. This
level of indirection is already available in struct pid.
So replace cpu.task with cpu.pid to get the needed extra layer of
indirection.
In addition to handling things more cleanly this reduces the amount of
memory a timer can pin when a process exits and then is reaped from
a task_struct to the vastly smaller struct pid.

The upcoming support for time namespaces requires to have access to:
- The time in a task's time namespace for sys_clock_gettime()
- The time in the root name space for common_timer_get()
That adds a valid reason to finally implement a separate callback which
returns the time in ktime_t format, rather than in (struct timespec).
Rename the clock_get() callback to clock_get_timespec() as a preparation
for introducing clock_get_ktime().

The recent consolidation of the three permission checks introduced a subtle
regression. For timer_create() with a process wide timer it returns the
current task if the lookup through the PID which is encoded into the
clockid results in returning current.
That's broken because it does not validate whether the current task is the
group leader.
That was caused by the two different variants of permission checks:
- posix_cpu_timer_get() allowed access to the process wide clock when the
looked up task is current. That's not an issue because the process wide
clock is in the shared sighand.
- posix_cpu_timer_create() made sure that the looked up task is the group
leader.
Restore the previous state.
Note, that these permission checks are more than questionable, but that's
subject to follow up changes.

The state tracking changes broke the expiry active check by not writing to
it and instead sitting timers_active, which is already set.
That's not a big issue as the actual expiry is protected by sighand lock,
so concurrent handling is not possible. That means that the second task
which invokes that function executes the expiry code for nothing.
Write to the proper flag.
Also add a check whether the flag is set into check_process_timers(). That
check had been missing in the code before the rework already. The check for
another task handling the expiry of process wide timers was only done in
the fastpath check. If the fastpath check returns true because a per task
timer expired, then the checking of process wide timers was done in
parallel which is as explained above just a waste of cycles.

Using a linear O(N) search for timer insertion affects execution time and

Switch the storage to a timerqueue which is already used for hrtimers and

Deactivation of the expiry cache is done by setting all clock caches to
0. That requires to have a check for zero in all places which update the
expiry cache:
if (cache == 0 || new < cache)
cache = new;
Use U64_MAX as the deactivated value, which allows to remove the zero
checks when updating the cache and reduces it to the obvious check:
if (new < cache)
cache = new;
This also removes the weird workaround in do_prlimit() which was required
to convert a RLIMIT_CPU value of 0 (immediate expiry) to 1 because handing
in 0 to the posix CPU timer code would have effectively disarmed it.

INFINITY, i.e. being disabled. Add it.
While this could be considered an ABI breakage if something would depend on
this behaviour. Though it's highly unlikely to have an effect because
RLIM_INFINITY is at minimum INT_MAX and the RTTIME limit is in seconds, so
the timer would fire after ~68 years.

of that code and is a prerequisite for cleaning up the 0 based checks and

Using struct task_cputime for the expiry cache is a pretty odd choice and
comes with magic defines to rename the fields for usage in the expiry
cache.
struct task_cputime is basically a u64 array with 3 members, but it has
distinct members.
The expiry cache content is different than the content of task_cputime
because
expiry[PROF] = task_cputime.stime + task_cputime.utime
expiry[VIRT] = task_cputime.utime
expiry[SCHED] = task_cputime.sum_exec_runtime
So there is no direct mapping between task_cputime and the expiry cache and
the #define based remapping is just a horrible hack.
Having the expiry cache array based allows further simplification of the
expiry code.
To avoid an all in one cleanup which is hard to review add a temporary
anonymous union into struct task_cputime which allows array based access to
it. That requires to reorder the members. Add a build time sanity check to
validate that the members are at the same place.
The union and the build time checks will be removed after conversion.
