Pull ptrace_stop cleanups from Eric Biederman:
"While looking at the ptrace problems with PREEMPT_RT and the problems
Peter Zijlstra was encountering with ptrace in his freezer rewrite I
identified some cleanups to ptrace_stop that make sense on their own
and move make resolving the other problems much simpler.
The biggest issue is the habit of the ptrace code to change
task->__state from the tracer to suppress TASK_WAKEKILL from waking up
the tracee. No other code in the kernel does that and it is straight
forward to update signal_wake_up and friends to make that unnecessary.
Peter's task freezer sets frozen tasks to a new state TASK_FROZEN and
then it stores them by calling "wake_up_state(t, TASK_FROZEN)" relying
on the fact that all stopped states except the special stop states can
tolerate spurious wake up and recover their state.
The state of stopped and traced tasked is changed to be stored in
task->jobctl as well as in task->__state. This makes it possible for
the freezer to recover tasks in these special states, as well as
serving as a general cleanup. With a little more work in that
direction I believe TASK_STOPPED can learn to tolerate spurious wake
ups and become an ordinary stop state.
The TASK_TRACED state has to remain a special state as the registers
for a process are only reliably available when the process is stopped
in the scheduler. Fundamentally ptrace needs acess to the saved
register values of a task.
There are bunch of semi-random ptrace related cleanups that were found
while looking at these issues.
One cleanup that deserves to be called out is from commit 57b6de08b5f6
("ptrace: Admit ptrace_stop can generate spuriuos SIGTRAPs"). This
makes a change that is technically user space visible, in the handling
of what happens to a tracee when a tracer dies unexpectedly. According
to our testing and our understanding of userspace nothing cares that
spurious SIGTRAPs can be generated in that case"

Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
"These updates continue to refine the work began in 5.17 and 5.18 of
modernizing the RNG's crypto and streamlining and documenting its
code.
New for 5.19, the updates aim to improve entropy collection methods
and make some initial decisions regarding the "premature next" problem
and our threat model. The cloc utility now reports that random.c is
931 lines of code and 466 lines of comments, not that basic metrics
like that mean all that much, but at the very least it tells you that
this is very much a manageable driver now.
Here's a summary of the various updates:
- The random_get_entropy() function now always returns something at
least minimally useful. This is the primary entropy source in most
collectors, which in the best case expands to something like RDTSC,
but prior to this change, in the worst case it would just return 0,
contributing nothing. For 5.19, additional architectures are wired
up, and architectures that are entirely missing a cycle counter now
have a generic fallback path, which uses the highest resolution
clock available from the timekeeping subsystem.
Some of those clocks can actually be quite good, despite the CPU
not having a cycle counter of its own, and going off-core for a
stamp is generally thought to increase jitter, something positive
from the perspective of entropy gathering. Done very early on in
the development cycle, this has been sitting in next getting some
testing for a while now and has relevant acks from the archs, so it
should be pretty well tested and fine, but is nonetheless the thing
I'll be keeping my eye on most closely.
- Of particular note with the random_get_entropy() improvements is
MIPS, which, on CPUs that lack the c0 count register, will now
combine the high-speed but short-cycle c0 random register with the
lower-speed but long-cycle generic fallback path.
- With random_get_entropy() now always returning something useful,
the interrupt handler now collects entropy in a consistent
construction.
- Rather than comparing two samples of random_get_entropy() for the
jitter dance, the algorithm now tests many samples, and uses the
amount of differing ones to determine whether or not jitter entropy
is usable and how laborious it must be. The problem with comparing
only two samples was that if the cycle counter was extremely slow,
but just so happened to be on the cusp of a change, the slowness
wouldn't be detected. Taking many samples fixes that to some
degree.
This, combined with the other improvements to random_get_entropy(),
should make future unification of /dev/random and /dev/urandom
maybe more possible. At the very least, were we to attempt it again
today (we're not), it wouldn't break any of Guenter's test rigs
that broke when we tried it with 5.18. So, not today, but perhaps
down the road, that's something we can revisit.
- We attempt to reseed the RNG immediately upon waking up from system
suspend or hibernation, making use of the various timestamps about
suspend time and such available, as well as the usual inputs such
as RDRAND when available.
- Batched randomness now falls back to ordinary randomness before the
RNG is initialized. This provides more consistent guarantees to the
types of random numbers being returned by the various accessors.
- The "pre-init injection" code is now gone for good. I suspect you
in particular will be happy to read that, as I recall you
expressing your distaste for it a few months ago. Instead, to avoid
a "premature first" issue, while still allowing for maximal amount
of entropy availability during system boot, the first 128 bits of
estimated entropy are used immediately as it arrives, with the next
128 bits being buffered. And, as before, after the RNG has been
fully initialized, it winds up reseeding anyway a few seconds later
in most cases. This resulted in a pretty big simplification of the
initialization code and let us remove various ad-hoc mechanisms
like the ugly crng_pre_init_inject().
- The RNG no longer pretends to handle the "premature next" security
model, something that various academics and other RNG designs have
tried to care about in the past. After an interesting mailing list
thread, these issues are thought to be a) mainly academic and not
practical at all, and b) actively harming the real security of the
RNG by delaying new entropy additions after a potential compromise,
making a potentially bad situation even worse. As well, in the
first place, our RNG never even properly handled the premature next
issue, so removing an incomplete solution to a fake problem was
particularly nice.
This allowed for numerous other simplifications in the code, which
is a lot cleaner as a consequence. If you didn't see it before,
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/YmlMGx6+uigkGiZ0@zx2c4.com/ may be a
thread worth skimming through.
- While the interrupt handler received a separate code path years ago
that avoids locks by using per-cpu data structures and a faster
mixing algorithm, in order to reduce interrupt latency, input and
disk events that are triggered in hardirq handlers were still
hitting locks and more expensive algorithms. Those are now
redirected to use the faster per-cpu data structures.
- Rather than having the fake-crypto almost-siphash-based random32
implementation be used right and left, and in many places where
cryptographically secure randomness is desirable, the batched
entropy code is now fast enough to replace that.
- As usual, numerous code quality and documentation cleanups. For
example, the initialization state machine now uses enum symbolic
constants instead of just hard coding numbers everywhere.
- Since the RNG initializes once, and then is always initialized
thereafter, a pretty heavy amount of code used during that
initialization is never used again. It is now completely cordoned
off using static branches and it winds up in the .text.unlikely
section so that it doesn't reduce cache compactness after the RNG
is ready.
- A variety of functions meant for waiting on the RNG to be
initialized were only used by vsprintf, and in not a particularly
optimal way. Replacing that usage with a more ordinary setup made
it possible to remove those functions.
- A cleanup of how we warn userspace about the use of uninitialized
/dev/urandom and uninitialized get_random_bytes() usage.
Interestingly, with the change you merged for 5.18 that attempts to
use jitter (but does not block if it can't), the majority of users
should never see those warnings for /dev/urandom at all now, and
the one for in-kernel usage is mainly a debug thing.
- The file_operations struct for /dev/[u]random now implements
.read_iter and .write_iter instead of .read and .write, allowing it
to also implement .splice_read and .splice_write, which makes
splice(2) work again after it was broken here (and in many other
places in the tree) during the set_fs() removal. This was a bit of
a last minute arrival from Jens that hasn't had as much time to
bake, so I'll be keeping my eye on this as well, but it seems
fairly ordinary. Unfortunately, read_iter() is around 3% slower
than read() in my tests, which I'm not thrilled about. But Jens and
Al, spurred by this observation, seem to be making progress in
removing the bottlenecks on the iter paths in the VFS layer in
general, which should remove the performance gap for all drivers.
- Assorted other bug fixes, cleanups, and optimizations.
- A small SipHash cleanup"

random32.c has two random number generators in it: one that is meant to
be used deterministically, with some predefined seed, and one that does
the same exact thing as random.c, except does it poorly. The first one
has some use cases. The second one no longer does and can be replaced
with calls to random.c's proper random number generator.
The relatively recent siphash-based bad random32.c code was added in
response to concerns that the prior random32.c was too deterministic.
Out of fears that random.c was (at the time) too slow, this code was
anonymously contributed. Then out of that emerged a kind of shadow
entropy gathering system, with its own tentacles throughout various net
code, added willy nilly.
Stop👏making👏bespoke👏random👏number👏generators👏.
Fortunately, recent advances in random.c mean that we can stop playing
with this sketchiness, and just use get_random_u32(), which is now fast
enough. In micro benchmarks using RDPMC, I'm seeing the same median
cycle count between the two functions, with the mean being _slightly_
higher due to batches refilling (which we can optimize further need be).
However, when doing *real* benchmarks of the net functions that actually
use these random numbers, the mean cycles actually *decreased* slightly
(with the median still staying the same), likely because the additional
prandom code means icache misses and complexity, whereas random.c is
generally already being used by something else nearby.
The biggest benefit of this is that there are many users of prandom who
probably should be using cryptographically secure random numbers. This
makes all of those accidental cases become secure by just flipping a
switch. Later on, we can do a tree-wide cleanup to remove the static
inline wrapper functions that this commit adds.
There are also some low-ish hanging fruits for making this even faster
in the future: a get_random_u16() function for use in the networking
stack will give a 2x performance boost there, using SIMD for ChaCha20
will let us compute 4 or 8 or 16 blocks of output in parallel, instead
of just one, giving us large buffers for cheap, and introducing a
get_random_*_bh() function that assumes irqs are already disabled will
shave off a few cycles for ordinary calls. These are things we can chip
away at down the road.

With debugobjects enabled the timer hint for freeing of active timers
embedded inside delayed works is always the same, i.e. the hint is
delayed_work_timer_fn, even though the function the delayed work is going
to run can be wildly different depending on what work was queued. Enabling
workqueue debugobjects doesn't help either because the delayed work isn't
considered active until it is actually queued to run on a workqueue. If the
work is freed while the timer is pending the work isn't considered active
so there is no information from workqueue debugobjects.
Special case delayed works in the timer debugobjects hint logic so that the
delayed work function is returned instead of the delayed_work_timer_fn.
This will help to understand which delayed work was pending that got
freed.
Apply the same treatment for kthread_delayed_work because it follows the
same pattern.

The addition of random_get_entropy_fallback() provides access to
whichever time source has the highest frequency, which is useful for
gathering entropy on platforms without available cycle counters. It's
not necessarily as good as being able to quickly access a cycle counter
that the CPU has, but it's still something, even when it falls back to
being jiffies-based.
In the event that a given arch does not define get_cycles(), falling
back to the get_cycles() default implementation that returns 0 is really
not the best we can do. Instead, at least calling
random_get_entropy_fallback() would be preferable, because that always
needs to return _something_, even falling back to jiffies eventually.
It's not as though random_get_entropy_fallback() is super high precision
or guaranteed to be entropic, but basically anything that's not zero all
the time is better than returning zero all the time.
Finally, since random_get_entropy_fallback() is used during extremely
early boot when randomizing freelists in mm_init(), it can be called
before timekeeping has been initialized. In that case there really is
nothing we can do; jiffies hasn't even started ticking yet. So just give
up and return 0.

The kernel uses kHz as the unit for clock rates reported between 1MHz
(inclusive) and 4MHz (exclusive), e.g.:
sched_clock: 64 bits at 1000kHz, resolution 1000ns, wraps every 2199023255500ns
This reduces the amount of data lost due to rounding, but hasn't been
replicated for the kHz range when support was added for proper reporting of
sub-kHz clock rates. Take the same approach for rates between 1kHz
(inclusive) and 4kHz (exclusive), which makes it consistent.

is stopped
When tick_nohz_stop_tick() stops the tick and high resolution timers are
disabled, then the clock event device is not put into ONESHOT_STOPPED
mode. This can lead to spurious timer interrupts with some clock event
device drivers that don't shut down entirely after firing.
Eliminate these by putting the device into ONESHOT_STOPPED mode at points
where it is not being reprogrammed. When there are no timers active, then
tick_program_event() with KTIME_MAX can be used to stop the device. When
there is a timer active, the device can be stopped at the next tick (any
new timer added by timers will reprogram the tick).

Pull in the NMI safe TAI accessor which was provided for the tracing tree
to prepare for further changes in this area.
|
|
Introduce fast/NMI safe accessor to clock tai for tracing. The Linux kernel
tracing infrastructure has support for using different clocks to generate
timestamps for trace events. Especially in TSN networks it's useful to have TAI
as trace clock, because the application scheduling is done in accordance to the
network time, which is based on TAI. With a tai trace_clock in place, it becomes
very convenient to correlate network activity with Linux kernel application
traces.
Use the same implementation as ktime_get_boot_fast_ns() does by reading the
monotonic time and adding the TAI offset. The same limitations as for the fast
boot implementation apply. The TAI offset may change at run time e.g., by
setting the time or using adjtimex() with an offset. However, these kind of
offset changes are rare events. Nevertheless, the user has to be aware and deal
with it in post processing.
An alternative approach would be to use the same implementation as
ktime_get_real_fast_ns() does. However, this requires to add an additional u64
member to the tk_read_base struct. This struct together with a seqcount is
designed to fit into a single cache line on 64 bit architectures. Adding a new
member would violate this constraint.

When the timer base is empty, base::next_expiry is set to base::clk +
NEXT_TIMER_MAX_DELTA and base::next_expiry_recalc is false. When no timer
is queued until jiffies reaches base::next_expiry value, the warning for
not finding any expired timer and base::next_expiry_recalc is false in
__run_timers() triggers.
To prevent triggering the warning in this valid scenario
base::timers_pending needs to be added to the warning condition.

"This set of changes removes tracehook.h, moves modification of all of

The removal of tracehook.h is quite significant as it has been a major
source of confusion in recent years. Much of that confusion was around
task_work and TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL (which I have now decoupled making the
semantics clearer).
For people who don't know tracehook.h is a vestiage of an attempt to
implement uprobes like functionality that was never fully merged, and
was later superseeded by uprobes when uprobes was merged. For many
years now we have been removing what tracehook functionaly a little
bit at a time. To the point where anything left in tracehook.h was
some weird strange thing that was difficult to understand"

Pull tasklist_lock optimizations from Eric Biederman:
"prlimit and getpriority tasklist_lock optimizations
The tasklist_lock popped up as a scalability bottleneck on some
testing workloads. The readlocks in do_prlimit and set/getpriority are
not necessary in all cases.
Based on a cycles profile, it looked like ~87% of the time was spent
in the kernel, ~42% of which was just trying to get *some* spinlock
(queued_spin_lock_slowpath, not necessarily the tasklist_lock).
The big offenders (with rough percentages in cycles of the overall
trace):
- do_wait 11%
- setpriority 8% (done previously in commit 7f8ca0edfe07)
- kill 8%
- do_exit 5%
- clone 3%
- prlimit64 2% (this patchset)
- getrlimit 1% (this patchset)
I can't easily test this patchset on the original workload for various
reasons. Instead, I used the microbenchmark below to at least verify
there was some improvement. This patchset had a 28% speedup (12% from
baseline to set/getprio, then another 14% for prlimit).
This series used to do the setpriority case, but an almost identical
change was merged as commit 7f8ca0edfe07 ("kernel/sys.c: only take
tasklist_lock for get/setpriority(PRIO_PGRP)") so that has been
dropped from here.
One interesting thing is that my libc's getrlimit() was calling
prlimit64, so hoisting the read_lock(tasklist_lock) into sys_prlimit64
had no effect - it essentially optimized the older syscalls only. I
didn't do that in this patchset, but figured I'd mention it since it
was an option from the previous patch's discussion"

Unnecessarily grabbing the tasklist_lock can be a scalability bottleneck
for workloads that also must grab the tasklist_lock for waiting,
killing, and cloning.
The tasklist_lock was grabbed to protect tsk->sighand from disappearing
(becoming NULL). tsk->signal was already protected by holding a
reference to tsk.
update_rlimit_cpu() assumed tsk->sighand != NULL. With this commit, it
attempts to lock_task_sighand(). However, this means that
update_rlimit_cpu() can fail. This only happens when a task is exiting.
Note that during exec, sighand may *change*, but it will not be NULL.
Prior to this commit, the do_prlimit() ensured that update_rlimit_cpu()
would not fail by read locking the tasklist_lock and checking tsk->sighand
!= NULL.
If update_rlimit_cpu() fails, there may be other tasks that are not
exiting that share tsk->signal. However, the group_leader is the last
task to be released, so if we cannot update_rlimit_cpu(group_leader),
then the entire process is exiting.
The only other caller of update_rlimit_cpu() is
selinux_bprm_committing_creds(). It has tsk == current, so
update_rlimit_cpu() cannot fail (current->sighand cannot disappear
until current exits).
This change resulted in a 14% speedup on a microbenchmark where parents
kill and wait on their children, and children getpriority, setpriority,
and getrlimit.

RCU_SOFTIRQ used to be special in that it could be raised on purpose
within the idle path to prevent from stopping the tick. Some code still
prevents from unnecessary warnings related to this specific behaviour
while entering in dynticks-idle mode.
However the nohz layout has changed quite a bit in ten years, and the
removal of CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ has been the final straw to this
safe-conduct. Now the RCU_SOFTIRQ vector is expected to be raised from
sane places.
A remaining corner case is admitted though when the vector is invoked
in fragile hotplug path.

On some rare cases, the timekeeper CPU may be delaying its jiffies
update duty for a while. Known causes include:
* The timekeeper is waiting on stop_machine in a MULTI_STOP_DISABLE_IRQ
or MULTI_STOP_RUN state. Disabled interrupts prevent from timekeeping
updates while waiting for the target CPU to complete its
stop_machine() callback.
* The timekeeper vcpu has VMEXIT'ed for a long while due to some overload
on the host.
Detect and fix these situations with emergency timekeeping catchups.

Even after commit e1d7ba873555 ("time: Always make sure wall_to_monotonic
isn't positive") it is still possible to make wall_to_monotonic positive
by running the following code:
int main(void)
{
struct timespec time;
clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &time);
time.tv_nsec = 0;
clock_settime(CLOCK_REALTIME, &time);
return 0;
}
The reason is that the second parameter of timespec64_compare(), ts_delta,
may be unnormalized because the delta is calculated with an open coded
substraction which causes the comparison of tv_sec to yield the wrong
result:
wall_to_monotonic = { .tv_sec = -10, .tv_nsec = 900000000 }
ts_delta = { .tv_sec = -9, .tv_nsec = -900000000 }
That makes timespec64_compare() claim that wall_to_monotonic < ts_delta,
but actually the result should be wall_to_monotonic > ts_delta.
After normalization, the result of timespec64_compare() is correct because
the tv_sec comparison is not longer misleading:
wall_to_monotonic = { .tv_sec = -10, .tv_nsec = 900000000 }
ts_delta = { .tv_sec = -10, .tv_nsec = 100000000 }
Use timespec64_sub() to ensure that ts_delta is normalized, which fixes the
issue.

Patch series "mm/damon: Fix fake /proc/loadavg reports", v3.
This patchset fixes DAMON's fake load report issue. The first patch
makes yet another variant of usleep_range() for this fix, and the second
patch fixes the issue of DAMON by making it using the newly introduced
function.
This patch (of 2):
Some kernel threads such as DAMON could need to repeatedly sleep in
micro seconds level. Because usleep_range() sleeps in uninterruptible
state, however, such threads would make /proc/loadavg reports fake load.
To help such cases, this commit implements a variant of usleep_range()
called usleep_idle_range(). It is same to usleep_range() but sets the
state of the current task as TASK_IDLE while sleeping.

When at least one CPU runs in nohz_full mode, a dedicated timekeeper CPU
is guaranteed to stay online and to never stop its tick.
Meanwhile on some rare case, the dedicated timekeeper may be running
with interrupts disabled for a while, such as in stop_machine.
If jiffies stop being updated, a nohz_full CPU may end up endlessly
programming the next tick in the past, taking the last jiffies update
monotonic timestamp as a stale base, resulting in an tick storm.
Here is a scenario where it matters:
0) CPU 0 is the timekeeper and CPU 1 a nohz_full CPU.
1) A stop machine callback is queued to execute somewhere.
2) CPU 0 reaches MULTI_STOP_DISABLE_IRQ while CPU 1 is still in
MULTI_STOP_PREPARE. Hence CPU 0 can't do its timekeeping duty. CPU 1
can still take IRQs.
3) CPU 1 receives an IRQ which queues a timer callback one jiffy forward.
4) On IRQ exit, CPU 1 schedules the tick one jiffy forward, taking
last_jiffies_update as a base. But last_jiffies_update hasn't been
updated for 2 jiffies since the timekeeper has interrupts disabled.
5) clockevents_program_event(), which relies on ktime_get(), observes
that the expiration is in the past and therefore programs the min
delta event on the clock.
6) The tick fires immediately, goto 3)
7) Tick storm, the nohz_full CPU is drown and takes ages to reach
MULTI_STOP_DISABLE_IRQ, which is the only way out of this situation.
Solve this with unconditionally updating jiffies if the value is stale
on nohz_full IRQ entry. IRQs and other disturbances are expected to be
rare enough on nohz_full for the unconditional call to ktime_get() to
actually matter.

With the previous patch, there is an extra watchdog read in each retry.
Now the total number of clocksource reads is increased to 4 per iteration.
In order to avoid increasing the clock skew check overhead, the default
maximum number of retries is reduced from 3 to 2 to maintain the same 12
clocksource reads in the worst case.

Since commit db3a34e17433 ("clocksource: Retry clock read if long delays
detected") and commit 2e27e793e280 ("clocksource: Reduce clocksource-skew
threshold"), it is found that tsc clocksource fallback to hpet can
sometimes happen on both Intel and AMD systems especially when they are
running stressful benchmarking workloads. Of the 23 systems tested with
a v5.14 kernel, 10 of them have switched to hpet clock source during
the test run.
The result of falling back to hpet is a drastic reduction of performance
when running benchmarks. For example, the fio performance tests can
drop up to 70% whereas the iperf3 performance can drop up to 80%.
4 hpet fallbacks happened during bootup. They were:
[ 8.749399] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU13: hpet read-back delay of 263750ns, attempt 4, marking unstable
[ 12.044610] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU19: hpet read-back delay of 186166ns, attempt 4, marking unstable
[ 17.336941] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU28: hpet read-back delay of 182291ns, attempt 4, marking unstable
[ 17.518565] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU34: hpet read-back delay of 252196ns, attempt 4, marking unstable
Other fallbacks happen when the systems were running stressful
benchmarks. For example:
[ 2685.867873] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU117: hpet read-back delay of 57269ns, attempt 4, marking unstable
[46215.471228] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU8: hpet read-back delay of 61460ns, attempt 4, marking unstable
Commit 2e27e793e280 ("clocksource: Reduce clocksource-skew threshold"),
changed the skew margin from 100us to 50us. I think this is too small
and can easily be exceeded when running some stressful workloads on a
thermally stressed system. So it is switched back to 100us.
Even a maximum skew margin of 100us may be too small in for some systems
when booting up especially if those systems are under thermal stress. To
eliminate the case that the large skew is due to the system being too
busy slowing down the reading of both the watchdog and the clocksource,
an extra consecutive read of watchdog clock is being done to check this.
The consecutive watchdog read delay is compared against
WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW/2. If the delay exceeds the limit, we assume that
the system is just too busy. A warning will be printed to the console
and the clock skew check is skipped for this round.

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

setitimer() passes a 0 it_value, indicating that the timer must stop.

A program may create multiple interval timers using timer_create(). For
each timer the kernel preallocates a "queued real-time signal",
Consequently, the number of timers is limited by the RLIMIT_SIGPENDING
resource limit. The allocated object is quite small, ~250 bytes, but even
the default signal limits allow to consume up to 100 megabytes per user.
It makes sense to account for them to limit the host's memory consumption
from inside the memcg-limited container.

Container admin can create new namespaces and force kernel to allocate up
to several pages of memory for the namespaces and its associated
structures.
Net and uts namespaces have enabled accounting for such allocations. It
makes sense to account for rest ones to restrict the host's memory
consumption from inside the memcg-limited container.

The clocksource watchdog test sets a local JIFFIES_SHIFT macro and assumes
that HZ is >= 100. For smaller HZ values this shift value is too large and
causes undefined behaviour.
Move the HZ-based definitions of JIFFIES_SHIFT from kernel/time/jiffies.c
to kernel/time/tick-internal.h so the clocksource watchdog test can utilize
them, which makes it work correctly with all HZ values.

Since the recent consoliation of reprogramming functions,
hrtimer_force_reprogram() is affected by a check whether the new expiry
time is past the current expiry time.
This breaks the NOHZ logic as that relies on the fact that the tick hrtimer
is moved into the future. That means cpu_base->expires_next becomes stale
and subsequent reprogramming attempts fail as well until the situation is
cleaned up by an hrtimer interrupts.
For some yet unknown reason this leads to a complete stall, so for now
partially revert the offending commit to a known working state. The root
cause for the stall is still investigated and will be fixed in a subsequent
commit.

clock_was_set() can be invoked from preemptible context. Use raw_cpu_ptr()
to check whether high resolution mode is active or not. It does not matter
whether the task migrates after acquiring the pointer.

By unconditionally updating the offsets there are more indicators
whether the SMP function calls on clock_was_set() can be avoided:
- When the offset update already happened on the remote CPU then the
remote update attempt will yield the same seqeuence number and no
IPI is required.
- When the remote CPU is currently handling hrtimer_interrupt(). In
that case the remote CPU will reevaluate the timer bases before
reprogramming anyway, so nothing to do.
- After updating it can be checked whether the first expiring timer in
the affected clock bases moves before the first expiring (softirq)
timer of the CPU. If that's not the case then sending the IPI is not
required.
