2013-04-18posix-timers: Remove unused variableThomas Gleixner1-1/+0
Remove the unused variable *node introduced by commit 5ed67f05 (posix timers: Allocate timer id per process) Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@parallels.com>
2013-04-17posix timers: Allocate timer id per process (v2)Pavel Emelyanov1-37/+69
Currently kernel generates IDs for posix timers in a global manner -- there's a kernel-wide IDR tree from which IDs are created. This makes it impossible to recreate a timer with a desired ID (in particular this is done by the CRIU checkpoint-restore project) -- since these IDs are global it may happen, that at the time we recreate a timer, the ID we want for it is already busy by some other timer. In order to address this, replace the IDR tree with a global hash table for timers and makes timer IDs unique per signal_struct (to which timers are linked anyway). With this, two timers belonging to different processes may have equal IDs and we can recreate either of them with the ID we want.

2013-02-21posix-timer: Don't call idr_find() with out-of-range IDTejun Heo1-0/+7
When idr_find() was fed a negative ID, it used to look up the ID ignoring the sign bit before recent ("idr: remove MAX_IDR_MASK and move left MAX_IDR_* into idr.c") patch. Now a negative ID triggers a WARN_ON_ONCE(). __lock_timer() feeds timer_id from userland directly to idr_find() without sanitizing it which can trigger the above malfunctions. Add a range check on @timer_id before invoking idr_find() in __lock_timer(). While timer_t is defined as int by all archs at the moment, Andrew worries that it may be defined as a larger type later on. Make the test cover larger integers too so that it at least is guaranteed to not return the wrong timer. Note that WARN_ON_ONCE() in idr_find() on id < 0 is transitional precaution while moving away from ignoring MSB. Once it's gone we can remove the guard as long as timer_t isn't larger than int.

Ben Nagy reported a scalability problem with KVM/QEMU that hit very hard a single spinlock (idr_lock) in posix-timers code, on its 48 core machine.

2011-02-02posix clocks: Introduce dynamic clocksRichard Cochran1-1/+3
This patch adds support for adding and removing posix clocks. The clock lifetime cycle is patterned after usb devices. Each clock is represented by a standard character device. In addition, the driver may optionally implement custom character device operations. The posix clock and timer system calls listed below now work with dynamic posix clocks, as well as the traditional static clocks. The following system calls are affected: - clock_adjtime (brand new syscall) - clock_gettime - clock_getres - clock_settime - timer_create - timer_delete - timer_gettime - timer_settime [ tglx: Adapted to the posix-timer cleanup.

2009-08-21time: Introduce CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSEjohn stultz1-0/+35
After talking with some application writers who want very fast, but not fine-grained timestamps, I decided to try to implement new clock_ids to clock_gettime(): CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE and CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE which returns the time at the last tick. This is very fast as we don't have to access any hardware (which can be very painful if you're using something like the acpi_pm clocksource), and we can even use the vdso clock_gettime() method to avoid the syscall. The only trade off is you only get low-res tick grained time resolution. This isn't a new idea, I know Ingo has a patch in the -rt tree that made the vsyscall gettimeofday() return coarse grained time when the vsyscall64 sysctrl was set to 2. However this affects all applications on a system. With this method, applications can choose the proper speed/granularity trade-off for themselves.

2008-12-20Null pointer deref with hrtimer_try_to_cancel()Thomas Gleixner1-0/+6
Impact: Prevent kernel crash with posix timer clockid CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW commit 2d42244ae71d6c7b0884b5664cf2eda30fb2ae68 (clocksource: introduce CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW) introduced a new clockid, which is only available to read out the raw not NTP adjusted system time. The above commit did not prevent that a posix timer can be created with that clockid. The timer_create() syscall succeeds and initializes the timer to a non existing hrtimer base. When the timer is deleted either by timer_delete() or by the exit() cleanup the kernel crashes. Prevent the creation of timers for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW by setting the posix clock function to no_timer_create which returns an error code.

2008-12-12posix-timers: use "struct pid*" instead of "struct task_struct*"Oleg Nesterov1-20/+23
Impact: restructure, clean up code k_itimer holds the ref to the ->it_process until sys_timer_delete(). This allows to pin up to RLIMIT_SIGPENDING dead task_struct's. Change the code to use "struct pid *" instead. The patch doesn't kill ->it_process, it places ->it_pid into the union. ->it_process is still used by do_cpu_nanosleep() as before. It would be trivial to change the nanosleep code as well, but since it uses it_process in a special way I think it is better to keep this field for grep. The patch bloats the kernel by 104 bytes and it also adds the new pointer, ->it_signal, to k_itimer. It is used by lock_timer() to verify that the found timer was not created by another process. It is not clear why do we use the global database (and thus the global idr_lock) for posix timers. We still need the signal_struct->posix_timers which contains all useable timers, perhaps it is better to use some form of per-process array instead.

Cleanup. Imho makes the code much more understandable. At least this patch lessens both the source and compiled code.
