Pull timer core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Fix a memory ordering issue in posix-timers
Posix-timer lookup is lockless and reevaluates the timer validity
under the timer lock, but the update which validates the timer is not
protected by the timer lock. That allows the store to be reordered
against the initialization stores, so that the lookup side can
observe a partially initialized timer. That's mostly a theoretical
problem, but incorrect nevertheless.
- Fix a long standing inconsistency of the coarse time getters
The coarse time getters read the base time of the current update
cycle without reading the actual hardware clock. NTP frequency
adjustment can set the base time backwards. The fine grained
interfaces compensate this by reading the clock and applying the new
conversion factor, but the coarse grained time getters use the base
time directly. That allows the user to observe time going backwards.
Cure it by always forwarding base time, when NTP changes the
frequency with an immediate step.
- Rework of posix-timer hashing
The posix-timer hash is not scalable and due to the CRIU timer
restore mechanism prone to massive contention on the global hash
bucket lock.
Replace the global hash lock with a fine grained per bucket locking
scheme to address that.
- Rework the proc/$PID/timers interface.
/proc/$PID/timers is provided for CRIU to be able to restore a timer.
The printout happens with sighand lock held and interrupts disabled.
That's not required as this can be done with RCU protection as well.
- Provide a sane mechanism for CRIU to restore a timer ID
CRIU restores timers by creating and deleting them until the kernel
internal per process ID counter reached the requested ID. That's
horribly slow for sparse timer IDs.
Provide a prctl() which allows CRIU to restore a timer with a given
ID. When enabled the ID pointer is used as input pointer to read the
requested ID from user space. When disabled, the normal allocation
scheme (next ID) is active as before. This is backwards compatible
for both kernel and user space.
- Make hrtimer_update_function() less expensive.
The sanity checks are valuable, but expensive for high frequency
usage in io/uring. Make the debug checks conditional and enable them
only when lockdep is enabled.
- Small updates, cleanups and improvements

In cases where an allocation is consumed by another function, the
allocation needs to be retained on success or freed on failure. The code
pattern is usually:
struct foo *f = kzalloc(sizeof(*f), GFP_KERNEL);
struct bar *b;
,,,
// Initialize f
...
if (ret)
goto free;
...
bar = bar_create(f);
if (!bar) {
ret = -ENOMEM;
goto free;
}
...
return 0;
free:
kfree(f);
return ret;
This prevents using __free(kfree) on @f because there is no canonical way
to tell the cleanup code that the allocation should not be freed.
Abusing no_free_ptr() by force ignoring the return value is not really a
sensible option either.
Provide an explicit macro retain_ptr(), which NULLs the cleanup
pointer. That makes it easy to analyze and reason about.

The lookup and locking of posix timers requires the same repeating pattern
at all usage sites:
tmr = lock_timer(tiner_id);
if (!tmr)
return -EINVAL;
....
unlock_timer(tmr);
Solve this with a guard implementation, which works in most places out of
the box except for those, which need to unlock the timer inside the guard
scope.
Though the only places where this matters are timer_delete() and
timer_settime(). In both cases the timer pointer needs to be preserved
across the end of the scope, which is solved by storing the pointer in a
variable outside of the scope.
timer_settime() also has to protect the timer with RCU before unlocking,
which obviously can't use guard(rcu) before leaving the guard scope as that
guard is cleaned up before the unlock. Solve this by providing the RCU
protection open coded.

no_free_ptr()
Calling no_free_ptr() for an __iomem pointer results in Sparse
complaining about the types:
warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces)
expected void const volatile *val
got void [noderef] __iomem *__val
[ The example is from drivers/platform/x86/intel/pmc/core_ssram.c:283 ]
The problem is caused by the signature of __must_check_fn() added in:
85be6d842447 ("cleanup: Make no_free_ptr() __must_check")
... to enforce that the return value is always used.
Use __force to allow both iomem and non-iomem pointers to be given for
no_free_ptr().

Linus noticed that the new if_not_guard() definition is fragile:
"This macro generates actively wrong code if it happens to be inside an
if-statement or a loop without a block.
IOW, code like this:
for (iterate-over-something)
if_not_guard(a)
return -BUSY;
looks like will build fine, but will generate completely incorrect code."
The reason is that the __if_not_guard() macro is multi-statement, so
while most kernel developers expect macros to be simple or at least
compound statements - but for __if_not_guard() it is not so:
#define __if_not_guard(_name, _id, args...) \
BUILD_BUG_ON(!__is_cond_ptr(_name)); \
CLASS(_name, _id)(args); \
if (!__guard_ptr(_name)(&_id))
To add insult to injury, the placement of the BUILD_BUG_ON() line makes
the macro appear to compile fine, but it will generate incorrect code
as Linus reported, for example if used within iteration or conditional
statements that will use the first statement of a macro as a loop body
or conditional statement body.
[ I'd also like to note that the original submission by David Lechner did
not contain the BUILD_BUG_ON() line, so it was safer than what we ended
up committing. Mea culpa. ]
It doesn't appear to be possible to turn this macro into a robust
single or compound statement that could be used in single statements,
due to the necessity to define an auto scope variable with an open
scope and the necessity of it having to expand to a partial 'if'
statement with no body.
Instead of trying to work around this fragility, just remove the
construct before it gets used.

Add a new if_not_guard() macro to cleanup.h for handling
conditional guards such as mutext_trylock().
This is more ergonomic than scoped_guard() for most use cases.
Instead of hiding the error handling statement in the macro args, it
works like a normal if statement and allow the error path to be indented
while the normal code flow path is not indented. And it avoid unwanted
side-effect from hidden for loop in scoped_guard().

Change scoped_guard() and scoped_cond_guard() macros to make reasoning
about them easier for static analysis tools (smatch, compiler
diagnostics), especially to enable them to tell if the given usage of
scoped_guard() is with a conditional lock class (interruptible-locks,
try-locks) or not (like simple mutex_lock()).
Add compile-time error if scoped_cond_guard() is used for non-conditional
lock class.
Beyond easier tooling and a little shrink reported by bloat-o-meter
this patch enables developer to write code like:
int foo(struct my_drv *adapter)
{
scoped_guard(spinlock, &adapter->some_spinlock)
return adapter->spinlock_protected_var;
}
Current scoped_guard() implementation does not support that,
due to compiler complaining:
error: control reaches end of non-void function [-Werror=return-type]
Technical stuff about the change:
scoped_guard() macro uses common idiom of using "for" statement to declare
a scoped variable. Unfortunately, current logic is too hard for compiler
diagnostics to be sure that there is exactly one loop step; fix that.
To make any loop so trivial that there is no above warning, it must not
depend on any non-const variable to tell if there are more steps. There is
no obvious solution for that in C, but one could use the compound
statement expression with "goto" jumping past the "loop", effectively
leaving only the subscope part of the loop semantics.
More impl details:
one more level of macro indirection is now needed to avoid duplicating
label names;
I didn't spot any other place that is using the
"for (...; goto label) if (0) label: break;" idiom, so it's not packed for
reuse beyond scoped_guard() family, what makes actual macros code cleaner.
There was also a need to introduce const true/false variable per lock
class, it is used to aid compiler diagnostics reasoning about "exactly
1 step" loops (note that converting that to function would undo the whole
benefit).
Big thanks to Andy Shevchenko for help on this patch, both internal and
public, ranging from whitespace/formatting, through commit message
clarifications, general improvements, ending with presenting alternative
approaches - all despite not even liking the idea.
Big thanks to Dmitry Torokhov for the idea of compile-time check for
scoped_cond_guard() (to use it only with conditional locsk), and general
improvements for the patch.
Big thanks to David Lechner for idea to cover also scoped_cond_guard().

Guard functions in local_lock.h are defined using DEFINE_GUARD() and
DEFINE_LOCK_GUARD_1() macros having lock type defined as pointer in
the percpu address space. The functions, defined by these macros
return value in generic address space, causing:
cleanup.h:157:18: error: return from pointer to non-enclosed address space
and
cleanup.h:214:18: error: return from pointer to non-enclosed address space
when strict percpu checks are enabled.
Add explicit casts to remove address space of the returned pointer.
Found by GCC's named address space checks.

For any changes of struct fd representation we need to
turn existing accesses to fields into calls of wrappers.
Accesses to struct fd::flags are very few (3 in linux/file.h,
1 in net/socket.c, 3 in fs/overlayfs/file.c and 3 more in
explicit initializers).
Those can be dealt with in the commit converting to
new layout; accesses to struct fd::file are too many for that.
This commit converts (almost) all of f.file to
fd_file(f). It's not entirely mechanical ('file' is used as
a member name more than just in struct fd) and it does not
even attempt to distinguish the uses in pointer context from
those in boolean context; the latter will be eventually turned
into a separate helper (fd_empty()).
NOTE: mass conversion to fd_empty(), tempting as it
might be, is a bad idea; better do that piecewise in commit
that convert from fdget...() to CLASS(...).

#define __LINUX_GUARDS_H
It ended up being <linux/cleanup.h>, but the old guard name for

Adds:
- DEFINE_GUARD_COND() / DEFINE_LOCK_GUARD_1_COND() to extend existing
guards with conditional lock primitives, eg. mutex_trylock(),
mutex_lock_interruptible().
nb. both primitives allow NULL 'locks', which cause the lock to
fail (obviously).
- extends scoped_guard() to not take the body when the the
conditional guard 'fails'. eg.
scoped_guard (mutex_intr, &task->signal_cred_guard_mutex) {
...
}
will only execute the body when the mutex is held.
- provides scoped_cond_guard(name, fail, args...); which extends
scoped_guard() to do fail when the lock-acquire fails.
