zhuo-hao a0e3213f83 alarmtimer: Avoid unexpected rtc interrupt when system resume from S3
Before the system go to suspend (S3), if user create a timer
with clockid CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM/CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM and set a
"large" timeout value to this timer. The function
alarmtimer_suspend will be called to setup a timeout value to
RTC timer to avoid the system sleep over time. However, if the
system wakeup early than RTC timeout, the RTC timer will not be
cleared. And this will cause the hpet_rtc_interrupt come
unexpectedly until the RTC timeout. To fix this problem, just
adding alarmtimer_resume to cancel the RTC timer.

This was noticed because the HPET RTC emulation fires an
interrupt every 16ms(=1/2^DEFAULT_RTC_SHIFT) up to the point
where the alarm time is reached.

This program always hits this situation
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/11/8/326), if system wake up earlier
than alarm time.

Andy Lutomirski f56141e3e2 all arches, signal: move restart_block to struct task_struct
If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting
the restart block is a very juicy exploit target.  This is because the
restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack.

Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by
making the restart_block harder to locate.

Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy
targets, at least on some architectures.

It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less
identical on all architectures.

Richard Larocque 474e941bed alarmtimer: Lock k_itimer during timer callback
Locks the k_itimer's it_lock member when handling the alarm timer's
expiry callback.

The regular posix timers defined in posix-timers.c have this lock held
during timout processing because their callbacks are routed through
posix_timer_fn().  The alarm timers follow a different path, so they
ought to grab the lock somewhere else.

Richard Larocque 265b81d23a alarmtimer: Do not signal SIGEV_NONE timers
Avoids sending a signal to alarm timers created with sigev_notify set to
SIGEV_NONE by checking for that special case in the timeout callback.

The regular posix timers avoid sending signals to SIGEV_NONE timers by
not scheduling any callbacks for them in the first place.  Although it
would be possible to do something similar for alarm timers, it's simpler
to handle this as a special case in the timeout.

Prior to this patch, the alarm timer would ignore the sigev_notify value
and try to deliver signals to the process anyway.  Even worse, the
sanity check for the value of sigev_signo is skipped when SIGEV_NONE was
specified, so the signal number could be bogus.  If sigev_signo was an
unitialized value (as it often would be if SIGEV_NONE is used), then
it's hard to predict which signal will be sent.

Richard Larocque e86fea7649 alarmtimer: Return relative times in timer_gettime
Returns the time remaining for an alarm timer, rather than the time at
which it is scheduled to expire.  If the timer has already expired or it
is not currently scheduled, the it_value's members are set to zero.

This new behavior matches that of the other posix-timers and the POSIX
specifications.

This is a change in user-visible behavior, and may break existing
applications.  Hopefully, few users rely on the old incorrect behavior.

John Stultz 16927776ae alarmtimer: Fix bug where relative alarm timers were treated as absolute
Sharvil noticed with the posix timer_settime interface, using the
CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM or CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM clockid, if the users
tried to specify a relative time timer, it would incorrectly be
treated as absolute regardless of the state of the flags argument.

This patch corrects this, properly checking the absolute/relative flag,
as well as adds further error checking that no invalid flag bits are set.

KOSAKI Motohiro 98d6f4dd84 alarmtimer: return EINVAL instead of ENOTSUPP if rtcdev doesn't exist
Fedora Ruby maintainer reported latest Ruby doesn't work on Fedora Rawhide
on ARM. (http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9008)

Because of, commit 1c6b39ad3f (alarmtimers: Return -ENOTSUPP if no
RTC device is present) intruduced to return ENOTSUPP when
clock_get{time,res} can't find a RTC device. However this is incorrect.

First, ENOTSUPP isn't exported to userland (ENOTSUP or EOPNOTSUP are the
closest userland equivlents).

Second, Posix and Linux man pages agree that clock_gettime and
clock_getres should return EINVAL if clk_id argument is invalid.
While the arugment that the clockid is valid, but just not supported
on this hardware could be made, this is just a technicality that
doesn't help userspace applicaitons, and only complicates error
handling.

Thus, this patch changes the code to use EINVAL.

John Stultz dae373be9f alarmtimer: Use hrtimer per-alarm instead of per-base
Arve Hjønnevåg reported numerous crashes from the
"BUG_ON(timer->state != HRTIMER_STATE_CALLBACK)" check
in __run_hrtimer after it called alarmtimer_fired.

It ends up the alarmtimer code was not properly handling
possible failures of hrtimer_try_to_cancel, and because
these faulres occur when the underlying base hrtimer is
being run, this limits the ability to properly handle
modifications to any alarmtimers on that base.

Because much of the logic duplicates the hrtimer logic,
it seems that we might as well have a per-alarmtimer
hrtimer, and avoid the extra complextity of trying to
multiplex many alarmtimers off of one hrtimer.

Thus this patch moves the hrtimer to the alarm structure
and simplifies the management logic.

than 2 seconds.  This allows one RTC seconds tick to occur subsequent
to this check before the alarm wakeup time is set, ensuring the wakeup
time is still in the future (assuming the RTC does not tick one more
second prior to setting the alarm).

If suspend is rejected due to an imminent alarm, hold a wakeup source
for 2 seconds to process the alarm prior to reattempting suspend.

If setting the alarm incurs an -ETIME for an alarm set in the past,
or any other problem setting the alarm, abort suspend and hold a
wakelock for 1 second while the alarm is allowed to be serviced or
other hopefully transient conditions preventing the alarm clear up.

John Stultz 4b41308d2d alarmtimers: Change alarmtimer functions to return alarmtimer_restart values
In order to properly fix the denial of service issue with high freq
periodic alarm timers, we need to push the re-arming logic into the
alarm timer handler, much as the hrtimer code does.

This patch introduces alarmtimer_restart enum and changes the
alarmtimer handler declarations to use it as a return value. Further,
to ease following changes, it extends the alarmtimer handler functions
to also take the time at expiration. No logic is yet modified.

John Stultz 6af7e471e5 alarmtimers: Avoid possible denial of service with high freq periodic timers
Its possible to jam up the alarm timers by setting very small interval
timers, which will cause the alarmtimer subsystem to spend all of its time
firing and restarting timers. This can effectivly lock up a box.

A deeper fix is needed, closely mimicking the hrtimer code, but for now
just cap the interval to 100us to avoid userland hanging the system.

John Stultz 1c6b39ad3f alarmtimers: Return -ENOTSUPP if no RTC device is present
Toralf Förster and Richard Weinberger noted that if there is
no RTC device, the alarm timers core prints out an annoying
"ALARM timers will not wake from suspend" message.

This warning has been removed in a previous patch, however
the issue still remains:  The original idea was to support
alarm timers even if there was no rtc device, as long as the
system didn't go into suspend.

However, after further consideration, communicating to the application
that alarmtimers are not fully functional seems like the better
solution.

So this patch makes it so we return -ENOTSUPP to any posix _ALARM
clockid calls if there is no backing RTC device on the system.

Further this changes the behavior where when there is no rtc device
we will check for one on clock_getres, clock_gettime, timer_create,
and timer_nsleep instead of on suspend.

John Stultz c008ba58af alarmtimers: Handle late rtc module loading
The alarmtimers code currently picks a rtc device to use at
late init time. However, if your rtc driver is loaded as a module,
it may be registered after the alarmtimers late init code, leaving
the alarmtimers nonfunctional.

This patch moves the the rtcdevice selection to when we actually try
to use it, allowing us to make use of rtc modules that may have been
loaded at any point since bootup.

Thomas Gleixner ce788f930b alarmtimer: Check return value of class_find_device()
alarmtimer_late_init() uses class_find_device() to find a alarm
capable rtc device. The match callback stores a pointer to the name in
the char pointer handed in from the call site. alarmtimer_late_init()
checks the char pointer for NULL, but the pointer is on the stack and
not initialized to NULL before the call. So it can have random content
when the match function did not identify a device, which leads to
random access in the following rtc_open() call where the pointer is
dereferenced

Instead of relying on the char pointer, check the return value of
class_find_device. If a device is found then the name pointer is valid
as well.

John Stultz 7068b7a162 timers: Remove delayed irqwork from alarmtimers implementation
Thomas asked about the delayed irq work in the alarmtimers code,
and I realized that it was a legacy from when the alarmtimer base
lock was a mutex (due to concerns that we'd be interacting with
the RTC device, which is protected by mutexes).

Since the alarmtimer base is now protected by a spinlock, we can
simply execute alarmtimer functions directly from the hrtimer
callback. Should any future alarmtimer functions sleep, they can
simply manage scheduling any delayed work themselves.

John Stultz 9a7adcf5c6 timers: Posix interface for alarm-timers
This patch exposes alarm-timers to userland via the posix clock
and timers interface, using two new clockids: CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM
and CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM. Both clockids behave identically to
CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_BOOTTIME, respectively, but timers
set against the _ALARM suffixed clockids will wake the system if
it is suspended.

Some background can be found here:
	https://lwn.net/Articles/429925/

The concept for Alarm-timers was inspired by the Android Alarm
driver (by Arve Hjønnevåg) found in the Android kernel tree.

See: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=kernel/common.git;a=blob;f=drivers/rtc/alarm.c;h=1250edfbdf3302f5e4ea6194847c6ef4bb7beb1c;hb=android-2.6.36

While the in-kernel interface is pretty similar between
alarm-timers and Android alarm driver, the user-space interface
for the Android alarm driver is via ioctls to a new char device.
As mentioned above, I've instead chosen to export this functionality
via the posix interface, as it seemed a little simpler and avoids
creating duplicate interfaces to things like CLOCK_REALTIME and
CLOCK_MONOTONIC under alternate names (ie:ANDROID_ALARM_RTC and
ANDROID_ALARM_SYSTEMTIME).

The semantics of the Android alarm driver are different from what
this posix interface provides. For instance, threads other then
the thread waiting on the Android alarm driver are able to modify
the alarm being waited on. Also this interface does not allow
the same wakelock semantics that the Android driver provides
(ie: kernel takes a wakelock on RTC alarm-interupt, and holds it
through process wakeup, and while the process runs, until the
process either closes the char device or calls back in to wait
on a new alarm).

One potential way to implement similar semantics may be via
the timerfd infrastructure, but this needs more research.

There may also need to be some sort of sysfs system level policy
hooks that allow alarm timers to be disabled to keep them
from firing at inappropriate times (ie: laptop in a well insulated
bag, mid-flight).

John Stultz ff3ead96d1 timers: Introduce in-kernel alarm-timer interface
This provides the in kernel interface and infrastructure for
alarm-timers.

Alarm-timers are a hybrid style timer, similar to hrtimers,
but when the system is suspended, the RTC device is set to
fire and wake the system for when the soonest alarm-timer
expires.

The concept for Alarm-timers was inspired by the Android Alarm
driver (by Arve Hjønnevåg) found in the Android kernel tree.

See: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=kernel/common.git;a=blob;f=drivers/rtc/alarm.c;h=1250edfbdf3302f5e4ea6194847c6ef4bb7beb1c;hb=android-2.6.36

This in-kernel interface should be fairly compatible with the
Android alarm driver in-kernel interface, but has the advantage
of utilizing the new RTC timerqueue code instead of doing direct
RTC manipulation.
