Jakub Drnec reported:
Setting the realtime clock can sometimes make the monotonic clock go
back by over a hundred years. Decreasing the realtime clock across
the y2k38 threshold is one reliable way to reproduce. Allegedly this
can also happen just by running ntpd, I have not managed to
reproduce that other than booting with rtc at >2038 and then running
ntp. When this happens, anything with timers (e.g. openjdk) breaks
rather badly.
And included a test case (slightly edited for brevity):
#define _POSIX_C_SOURCE 199309L
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
long get_time(void) {
struct timespec tp;
clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &tp);
return tp.tv_sec + tp.tv_nsec / 1000000000;
}
int main(void) {
long last = get_time();
while(1) {
long now = get_time();
if (now < last) {
printf("clock went backwards by %ld seconds!\n", last - now);
}
last = now;
sleep(1);
}
return 0;
}
Which when run concurrently with:
# date -s 2040-1-1
# date -s 2037-1-1
Will detect the clock going backward.
The root cause is that wtom_clock_sec in struct vdso_data is only a
32-bit signed value, even though we set its value to be equal to
tk->wall_to_monotonic.tv_sec which is 64-bits.
Because the monotonic clock starts at zero when the system boots the
wall_to_montonic.tv_sec offset is negative for current and future
dates. Currently on a freshly booted system the offset will be in the
vicinity of negative 1.5 billion seconds.
However if the wall clock is set past the Y2038 boundary, the offset
from wall to monotonic becomes less than negative 2^31, and no longer
fits in 32-bits. When that value is assigned to wtom_clock_sec it is
truncated and becomes positive, causing the VDSO assembly code to
calculate CLOCK_MONOTONIC incorrectly.
That causes CLOCK_MONOTONIC to jump ahead by ~4 billion seconds which
it is not meant to do. Worse, if the time is then set back before the
Y2038 boundary CLOCK_MONOTONIC will jump backward.
We can fix it simply by storing the full 64-bit offset in the
vdso_data, and using that in the VDSO assembly code. We also shuffle
some of the fields in vdso_data to avoid creating a hole.
The original commit that added the CLOCK_MONOTONIC support to the VDSO
did actually use a 64-bit value for wtom_clock_sec, see commit
a7f290dad32e ("[PATCH] powerpc: Merge vdso's and add vdso support to
32 bits kernel") (Nov 2005). However just 3 days later it was
converted to 32-bits in commit 0c37ec2aa88b ("[PATCH] powerpc: vdso
fixes (take #2)"), and the bug has existed since then AFAICS.

Most architectures use NR_syscalls as the #define for the number of syscalls.
We use __NR_syscalls, and then define NR_syscalls as __NR_syscalls.
__NR_syscalls is not used outside arch code, whereas NR_syscalls is. So as
NR_syscalls must be defined and __NR_syscalls does not, replace __NR_syscalls
with NR_syscalls.

Currently it is possible for userspace to see the result of
gettimeofday() going backwards by 1 microsecond, assuming that
userspace is using the gettimeofday() in the VDSO. The VDSO
gettimeofday() algorithm computes the time in "xsecs", which are
units of 2^-20 seconds, or approximately 0.954 microseconds,
using the algorithm
now = (timebase - tb_orig_stamp) * tb_to_xs + stamp_xsec
and then converts the time in xsecs to seconds and microseconds.
The kernel updates the tb_orig_stamp and stamp_xsec values every
tick in update_vsyscall(). If the length of the tick is not an
integer number of xsecs, then some precision is lost in converting
the current time to xsecs. For example, with CONFIG_HZ=1000, the
tick is 1ms long, which is 1048.576 xsecs. That means that
stamp_xsec will advance by either 1048 or 1049 on each tick.
With the right conditions, it is possible for userspace to get
(timebase - tb_orig_stamp) * tb_to_xs being 1049 if the kernel is
slightly late in updating the vdso_datapage, and then for stamp_xsec
to advance by 1048 when the kernel does update it, and for userspace
to then see (timebase - tb_orig_stamp) * tb_to_xs being zero due to
integer truncation. The result is that time appears to go backwards
by 1 microsecond.
To fix this we change the VDSO gettimeofday to use a new field in the
VDSO datapage which stores the nanoseconds part of the time as a
fractional number of seconds in a 0.32 binary fraction format.
(Or put another way, as a 32-bit number in units of 0.23283 ns.)
This is convenient because we can use the mulhwu instruction to
convert it to either microseconds or nanoseconds.
Since it turns out that computing the time of day using this new field
is simpler than either using stamp_xsec (as gettimeofday does) or
stamp_xtime.tv_nsec (as clock_gettime does), this converts both
gettimeofday and clock_gettime to use the new field. The existing
__do_get_tspec function is converted to use the new field and take
a parameter in r7 that indicates the desired resolution, 1,000,000
for microseconds or 1,000,000,000 for nanoseconds. The __do_get_xsec
function is then unused and is deleted.
The new algorithm is
now = ((timebase - tb_orig_stamp) << 12) * tb_to_xs
+ (stamp_xtime_seconds << 32) + stamp_sec_fraction
with 'now' in units of 2^-32 seconds. That is then converted to
seconds and either microseconds or nanoseconds with
seconds = now >> 32
partseconds = ((now & 0xffffffff) * resolution) >> 32
The 32-bit VDSO code also makes a further simplification: it ignores
the bottom 32 bits of the tb_to_xs value, which is a 0.64 format binary
fraction. Doing so gets rid of 4 multiply instructions. Assuming
a timebase frequency of 1GHz or less and an update interval of no
more than 10ms, the upper 32 bits of tb_to_xs will be at least
4503599, so the error from ignoring the low 32 bits will be at most
2.2ns, which is more than an order of magnitude less than the time
taken to do gettimeofday or clock_gettime on our fastest processors,
so there is no possibility of seeing inconsistent values due to this.
This also moves update_gtod() down next to its only caller, and makes
update_vsyscall use the time passed in via the wall_time argument rather
than accessing xtime directly. At present, wall_time always points to
xtime, but that could change in future.

Currently the clock_gettime implementation in the VDSO produces a
result with microsecond resolution for the cases that are handled
without a system call, i.e. CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. The
nanoseconds field of the result is obtained by computing a
microseconds value and multiplying by 1000.
This changes the code in the VDSO to do the computation for
clock_gettime with nanosecond resolution. That means that the
resolution of the result will ultimately depend on the timebase
frequency.
Because the timestamp in the VDSO datapage (stamp_xsec, the real time
corresponding to the timebase count in tb_orig_stamp) is in units of
2^-20 seconds, it doesn't have sufficient resolution for computing a
result with nanosecond resolution. Therefore this adds a copy of
xtime to the VDSO datapage and updates it in update_gtod() along with
the other time-related fields.

from include/asm-powerpc. This is the result of a
mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm
git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm
Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places
where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly. Of the latter only
one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc.
