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 hrtimer_cancel() 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 hrtimer_cancel() 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.
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
hrtimer_cancel() 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.

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.
Change the check, so when PREEMPT_RT is enabled, it is verified that the
timers marked for hard interrupt expiry are not tried to be queued for soft
interrupt expiry or any of the unmarked and softirq marked is tried to be
expired in hard interrupt context.

On PREEMPT_RT not all hrtimers can be expired in hard interrupt context
even if that is perfectly fine on a PREEMPT_RT=n kernel, e.g. because they
take regular spinlocks. Also for latency reasons PREEMPT_RT tries to defer
most hrtimers' expiry into soft interrupt context.
But there are hrtimers which must be expired in hard interrupt context even
when PREEMPT_RT is enabled:
- hrtimers which must expiry in hard interrupt context, e.g. scheduler,
perf, watchdog related hrtimers
- latency critical hrtimers, e.g. nanosleep, ..., kvm lapic timer
Add a new mode flag HRTIMER_MODE_HARD which allows to mark these timers so
PREEMPT_RT will not move them into softirq expiry mode.

As stated in the pull request for the unification of CLOCK_MONOTONIC and
CLOCK_BOOTTIME, it was clear that we might have to revert the change.
As reported by several folks systemd and other applications rely on the
documented behaviour of CLOCK_MONOTONIC on Linux and break with the above
changes. After resume daemons time out and other timeout related issues are
observed. Rafael compiled this list:
* systemd kills daemons on resume, after >WatchdogSec seconds
of suspending (Genki Sky). [Verified that that's because systemd uses
CLOCK_MONOTONIC and expects it to not include the suspend time.]
* systemd-journald misbehaves after resume:
systemd-journald[7266]: File /var/log/journal/016627c3c4784cd4812d4b7e96a34226/system.journal
corrupted or uncleanly shut down, renaming and replacing.
(Mike Galbraith).
* NetworkManager reports "networking disabled" and networking is broken
after resume 50% of the time (Pavel). [May be because of systemd.]
* MATE desktop dims the display and starts the screensaver right after
system resume (Pavel).
* Full system hang during resume (me). [May be due to systemd or NM or both.]
That happens on debian and open suse systems.
It's sad, that these problems were neither catched in -next nor by those
folks who expressed interest in this change.

hrtimer callbacks are always invoked in hard interrupt context. Several
users in tree require soft interrupt context for their callbacks and
achieve this by combining a hrtimer with a tasklet. The hrtimer schedules
the tasklet in hard interrupt context and the tasklet callback gets invoked
in softirq context later.
That's suboptimal and aside of that the real-time patch moves most of the
hrtimers into softirq context. So adding native support for hrtimers
expiring in softirq context is a valuable extension for both mainline and
the RT patch set.
Each valid hrtimer clock id has two associated hrtimer clock bases: one for
timers expiring in hardirq context and one for timers expiring in softirq
context.
Implement the functionality to associate a hrtimer with the hard or softirq
related clock bases and update the relevant functions to take them into
account when the next expiry time needs to be evaluated.
Add a check into the hard interrupt context handler functions to check
whether the first expiring softirq based timer has expired. If it's expired
the softirq is raised and the accounting of softirq based timers to
evaluate the next expiry time for programming the timer hardware is skipped
until the softirq processing has finished. At the end of the softirq
processing the regular processing is resumed.

Currently hrtimer callback functions are always executed in hard interrupt
context. Users of hrtimers, which need their timer function to be executed
in soft interrupt context, make use of tasklets to get the proper context.
Add additional hrtimer clock bases for timers which must expire in softirq
context, so the detour via the tasklet can be avoided. This is also
required for RT, where the majority of hrtimer is moved into softirq
hrtimer context.
The selection of the expiry mode happens via a mode bit. Introduce
HRTIMER_MODE_SOFT and the matching combinations with the ABS/REL/PINNED
bits and update the decoding of hrtimer_mode in tracepoints.

hrtimer_cpu_base.next_timer stores the pointer to the next expiring timer
in a CPU base.
This pointer cannot be dereferenced and is solely used to check whether a
hrtimer which is removed is the hrtimer which is the first to expire in the
CPU base. If this is the case, then the timer hardware needs to be
reprogrammed to avoid an extra interrupt for nothing.
Again, this is conditional functionality, but there is no compelling reason
to make this conditional. As a preparation, hrtimer_cpu_base.next_timer
needs to be available unconditonally.
Aside of that the upcoming support for softirq based hrtimers requires access
to this pointer unconditionally as well, so our motivation is not entirely
simplicity based.
Make the update of hrtimer_cpu_base.next_timer unconditional and remove the
#ifdef cruft. The impact on CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=n && CONFIG_NOHZ=n is
marginal as it's just a store on an already dirtied cacheline.

hrtimer_cpu_base.expires_next is used to cache the next event armed in the
timer hardware. The value is used to check whether an hrtimer can be
enqueued remotely. If the new hrtimer is expiring before expires_next, then
remote enqueue is not possible as the remote hrtimer hardware cannot be
accessed for reprogramming to an earlier expiry time.
The remote enqueue check is currently conditional on
CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=y and hrtimer_cpu_base.hres_active. There is no
compelling reason to make this conditional.
Move hrtimer_cpu_base.expires_next out of the CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=y
guarded area and remove the conditionals in hrtimer_check_target().
The check is currently a NOOP for the CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=n and the
!hrtimer_cpu_base.hres_active case because in these cases nothing updates
hrtimer_cpu_base.expires_next yet. This will be changed with later patches

The pointer to the currently running timer is stored in hrtimer_cpu_base
before the base lock is dropped and the callback is invoked.
This results in two levels of indirections and the upcoming support for
softirq based hrtimer requires splitting the "running" storage into soft
and hard IRQ context expiry.
Storing both in the cpu base would require conditionals in all code paths
accessing that information.
It's possible to have a per clock base sequence count and running pointer
without changing the semantics of the related mechanisms because the timer
base pointer cannot be changed while a timer is running the callback.
Unfortunately this makes cpu_clock base larger than 32 bytes on 32-bit
kernels. Instead of having huge gaps due to alignment, remove the alignment
and let the compiler pack CPU base for 32-bit kernels. The resulting cache access
patterns are fortunately not really different from the current
behaviour. On 64-bit kernels the 64-byte alignment stays and the behaviour is
unchanged. This was determined by analyzing the resulting layout and
looking at the number of cache lines involved for the frequently used
clocks.

The hrtimer_start[_range_ns]() functions start a timer reliably on this CPU only
when HRTIMER_MODE_PINNED is set.
Furthermore the HRTIMER_MODE_PINNED mode is not considered when a hrtimer is initialized.

schedule_hrtimeout_range_clock() uses an 'int clock' parameter for the
clock ID, instead of the customary predefined "clockid_t" type.
In hrtimer coding style the canonical variable name for the clock ID is
'clock_id', therefore change the name of the parameter here as well
to make it all consistent.
While at it, clean up the description for the 'clock_id' and 'mode'
function parameters. The clock modes and the clock IDs are not
restricted as the comment suggests.
Fix the mode description as well for the callers of schedule_hrtimeout_range_clock().
No functional changes intended.

The hrtimer_cpu_base::migration_enable and ::nohz_active fields
were originally introduced to avoid accessing global variables
for these decisions.
Still that results in a (cache hot) load and conditional branch,
which can be avoided by using static keys.
Implement it with static keys and optimize for the most critical
case of high performance networking which tends to disable the
timer migration functionality.
No change in functionality.

ktime is a union because the initial implementation stored the time in
scalar nanoseconds on 64 bit machine and in a endianess optimized timespec
variant for 32bit machines. The Y2038 cleanup removed the timespec variant
and switched everything to scalar nanoseconds. The union remained, but
become completely pointless.
Get rid of the union and just keep ktime_t as simple typedef of type s64.
The conversion was done with coccinelle and some manual mopping up.

This patchset introduces a /proc/<pid>/timerslack_ns interface which
would allow controlling processes to be able to set the timerslack value
on other processes in order to save power by avoiding wakeups (Something
Android currently does via out-of-tree patches).
The first patch tries to fix the internal timer_slack_ns usage which was
defined as a long, which limits the slack range to ~4 seconds on 32bit
systems. It converts it to a u64, which provides the same basically
unlimited slack (500 years) on both 32bit and 64bit machines.
The second patch introduces the /proc/<pid>/timerslack_ns interface
which allows the full 64bit slack range for a task to be read or set on
both 32bit and 64bit machines.
With these two patches, on a 32bit machine, after setting the slack on
bash to 10 seconds:
$ time sleep 1
real 0m10.747s
user 0m0.001s
sys 0m0.005s
The first patch is a little ugly, since I had to chase the slack delta
arguments through a number of functions converting them to u64s. Let me
know if it makes sense to break that up more or not.
Other than that things are fairly straightforward.
This patch (of 2):
The timer_slack_ns value in the task struct is currently a unsigned
long. This means that on 32bit applications, the maximum slack is just
over 4 seconds. However, on 64bit machines, its much much larger (~500
years).
This disparity could make application development a little (as well as
the default_slack) to a u64. This means both 32bit and 64bit systems
have the same effective internal slack range.
Now the existing ABI via PR_GET_TIMERSLACK and PR_SET_TIMERSLACK specify
the interface as a unsigned long, so we preserve that limitation on
32bit systems, where SET_TIMERSLACK can only set the slack to a unsigned
long value, and GET_TIMERSLACK will return ULONG_MAX if the slack is
actually larger then what can be stored by an unsigned long.
This patch also modifies hrtimer functions which specified the slack
delta as a unsigned long.

If CONFIG_TIME_LOW_RES is enabled we add a jiffie to the relative timeout to
prevent short sleeps, but we do not account for that in interfaces which
retrieve the remaining time.
Helge observed that timerfd can return a remaining time larger than the
relative timeout. That's not expected and breaks userland test programs.
Store the information that the timer was armed relative and provide functions
to adjust the remaining time. To avoid bloating the hrtimer struct make state
a u8, which as a bonus results in better code on x86 at least.

Eric reported that the timer_migration sysctl is not really nice
performance wise as it needs to check at every timer insertion whether
the feature is enabled or not. Further the check does not live in the
timer code, so we have an extra function call which checks an extra
cache line to figure out that it is disabled.
We can do better and store that information in the per cpu (hr)timer
bases. I pondered to use a static key, but that's a nightmare to
update from the nohz code and the timer base cache line is hot anyway
when we select a timer base.
The old logic enabled the timer migration unconditionally if
CONFIG_NO_HZ was set even if nohz was disabled on the kernel command
line.
With this modification, we start off with migration disabled. The user
visible sysctl is still set to enabled. If the kernel switches to NOHZ
migration is enabled, if the user did not disable it via the sysctl
prior to the switch. If nohz=off is on the kernel command line,
migration stays disabled no matter what.

Currently an hrtimer callback function cannot free its own timer
because __run_hrtimer() still needs to clear HRTIMER_STATE_CALLBACK
after it. Freeing the timer would result in a clear use-after-free.
Solve this by using a scheme similar to regular timers; track the
current running timer in hrtimer_clock_base::running.
