sync_hw_clock() is normally called every 11 minutes when time is
synchronized. This issue is that this periodic timer uses the REALTIME
clock, so when time moves backwards (the NTP server jumps into the past),
the timer expires late.
If the timer expires late, which can be days later, the RTC will no longer
be updated, which is an issue if the device is abruptly powered OFF during
this period. When the device will restart (when powered ON), it will have
the date prior to the ADJ_SETOFFSET call.
A normal NTP server should not jump in the past like that, but it is
possible... Another way of reproducing this issue is to use phc2sys to
synchronize the REALTIME clock with, for example, an IRIG timecode with
the source always starting at the same date (not synchronized).
Also, if the time jump in the future by less than 11 minutes, the RTC may
not be updated immediately (minor issue). Consider the following scenario:
- Time is synchronized, and sync_hw_clock() was just called (the timer
expires in 11 minutes).
- A time jump is realized in the future by a couple of minutes.
- The time is synchronized again.
- Users may expect that RTC to be updated as soon as possible, and not
after 11 minutes (for the same reason, if a power loss occurs in this
period).
Cancel periodic timer on any time jump (ADJ_SETOFFSET) greater than or
equal to 1s. The timer will be relaunched at the end of do_adjtimex() if
NTP is still considered synced. Otherwise the timer will be relaunched
later when NTP is synced. This way, when the time is synchronized again,
the RTC is updated after less than 2 seconds.

Global timers could be expired remotely when the target CPU is idle. After
a remote timer expiry, the remote timer_base->next_expiry value is updated
while holding the timer_base->lock. When the formerly idle CPU becomes
active at the same time and checks whether timers need to expire, this
check is done lockless as it is on the local CPU. This could lead to a data
race, which was reported by sysbot:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/000000000000916e55061f969e14@google.com
When the value is read lockless but changed by the remote CPU, only two non
critical scenarios could happen:
1) The already update value is read -> everything is perfect
2) The old value is read -> a superfluous timer soft interrupt is raised
The same situation could happen when enqueueing a new first pinned timer by
a remote CPU also with non critical scenarios:
1) The already update value is read -> everything is perfect
2) The old value is read -> when the CPU is idle, an IPI is executed
nevertheless and when the CPU isn't idle, the updated value will be visible
on the next tick and the timer might be late one jiffie.
As this is very unlikely to happen, the overhead of doing the check under
the lock is a way more effort, than a superfluous timer soft interrupt or a
possible 1 jiffie delay of the timer.
Document and annotate this non critical behavior in the code by using
READ/WRITE_ONCE() pair when accessing timer_base->next_expiry.

msleep() and msleep_interruptible() add a jiffie to the requested timeout.
This extra jiffie was introduced to ensure that the timeout will not happen
earlier than specified.

The timerslack_ns setting is used to specify how much the hardware
timers should be delayed, to potentially dispatch multiple timers in a
single interrupt. This is a performance optimization. Timers of
realtime tasks (having a realtime scheduling policy) should not be
delayed.
This logic was inconsitently applied to the hrtimers, leading to delays
of realtime tasks which used timed waits for events (e.g. condition
variables). Due to the downstream override of the slack for rt tasks,
the procfs reported incorrect (non-zero) timerslack_ns values.
This is changed by setting the timer_slack_ns task attribute to 0 for
all tasks with a rt policy. By that, downstream users do not need to
specially handle rt tasks (w.r.t. the slack), and the procfs entry
shows the correct value of "0". Setting non-zero slack values (either
via procfs or PR_SET_TIMERSLACK) on tasks with a rt policy is ignored,
as stated in "man 2 PR_SET_TIMERSLACK":
Timer slack is not applied to threads that are scheduled under a
real-time scheduling policy (see sched_setscheduler(2)).
The special handling of timerslack on rt tasks in downstream users
is removed as well.

When soft interrupt actions are called, they are passed a pointer to the
struct softirq action which contains the action's function pointer.
This pointer isn't useful, as the action callback already knows what
function it is. And since each callback handles a specific soft interrupt,
the callback also knows which soft interrupt number is running.
No soft interrupt action callback actually uses this parameter, so remove
it from the function pointer signature. This clarifies that soft interrupt
actions are global routines and makes it slightly cheaper to call them.

The addition of the bases argument to clock_was_set() fixed up all call
sites correctly except for do_adjtimex(). This uses CLOCK_REALTIME
instead of CLOCK_SET_WALL as argument. CLOCK_REALTIME is 0.
As a result the effect of that clock_was_set() notification is incomplete
and might result in timers expiring late because the hrtimer code does
not re-evaluate the affected clock bases.
Use CLOCK_SET_WALL instead of CLOCK_REALTIME to tell the hrtimers code
which clock bases need to be re-evaluated.

Right now, cs_watchdog_read() does clocksource sanity checks based
on WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW, which sets a floor on any clocksource's
.uncertainty_margin. These sanity checks can therefore act
inappropriately for clocksources with large uncertainty margins.
One reason for a clocksource to have a large .uncertainty_margin is when
that clocksource has long read-out latency, given that it does not make
sense for the .uncertainty_margin to be smaller than the read-out latency.
With the current checks, cs_watchdog_read() could reject all normal
reads from a clocksource with long read-out latencies, such as those
from legacy clocksources that are no longer implemented in hardware.
Therefore, recast the cs_watchdog_read() checks in terms of the
.uncertainty_margin values of the clocksources involved in the timespan in
question. The first covers two watchdog reads and one cs read, so use
twice the watchdog .uncertainty_margin plus that of the cs. The second
covers only a pair of watchdog reads, so use twice the watchdog
.uncertainty_margin.

The current "nretries > 1 || nretries >= max_retries" check in
cs_watchdog_read() will always evaluate to true, and thus pr_warn(), if
nretries is greater than 1. The intent is instead to never warn on the
first try, but otherwise warn if the successful retry was the last retry.
Therefore, change that "||" to "&&".

The recent fix for making the take over of the broadcast timer more
reliable retrieves a per CPU pointer in preemptible context.
This went unnoticed as compilers hoist the access into the non-preemptible
region where the pointer is actually used. But of course it's valid that
the compiler keeps it at the place where the code puts it which rightfully
triggers:
BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code:
caller is hotplug_cpu__broadcast_tick_pull+0x1c/0xc0
Move it to the actual usage site which is in a non-preemptible region.

hrtimer based and CPU timers have their own way to install the new interval
and to reset overrun and signal handling related data.
Create a helper function and do the same operation for all variants.
This also makes the handling of the interval consistent. It's only stored
when the timer is actually armed, i.e. timer->it_value != 0. Before that it

When a CPU comes online the first time, it is possible that a new top level
group will be created. In general all propagation is done from the bottom
to top. This minimizes complexity and prevents possible races. But when a
new top level group is created, the formely top level group needs to be
connected to the new level. This is the only time, when the direction to
propagate changes is changed: the changes are propagated from top (new top
level group) to bottom (formerly top level group).
This introduces two races (see (A) and (B)) as reported by Frederic:
(A) This race happens, when marking the formely top level group as active,
but the last active CPU of the formerly top level group goes idle. Then
it's likely that formerly group is no longer active, but marked
nevertheless as active in new top level group:
[GRP0:0]
migrator = 0

active idle !online
1) CPU 8 is booting and creates a new group in first level GRP0:1 and
therefore also a new top group GRP1:0. For now the setup code proceeded
only until the connected between GRP0:1 to the new top group. The
connection between CPU8 and GRP0:1 is not yet established and CPU 8 is
still !online.
[GRP1:0]
migrator = TMIGR_NONE

migrator = 0 migrator = TMIGR_NONE
active = 0 active = NONE
nextevt = KTIME_MAX nextevt = KTIME_MAX

0 1 .. 7 8
active idle !online
2) Setup code now connects GRP0:0 to GRP1:0 and observes while in
tmigr_connect_child_parent() that GRP0:0 is not TMIGR_NONE. So it
prepares to call tmigr_active_up() on it. It hasn't done it yet.
[GRP1:0]
migrator = TMIGR_NONE
active = NONE
nextevt = KTIME_MAX

[GRP0:0] [GRP0:1]
migrator = TMIGR_NONE migrator = TMIGR_NONE
active = NONE active = NONE
nextevt = KTIME_MAX nextevt = KTIME_MAX
/ \
0 1 .. 7 8
idle idle !online
3) CPU 0 goes idle. Since GRP0:0->parent has been updated by CPU 8 with
GRP0:0->lock held, CPU 0 observes GRP1:0 after calling
tmigr_update_events() and it propagates the change to the top (no change
there and no wakeup programmed since there is no timer).
[GRP1:0]
migrator = GRP0:0

4) Now the setup code finally calls tmigr_active_up() to and sets GRP0:0
active in GRP1:0
[GRP1:0]
migrator = GRP0:0
active = GRP0:0, GRP0:1
nextevt = KTIME_MAX

migrator = TMIGR_NONE migrator = 8
active = NONE active = 8
nextevt = KTIME_MAX nextevt = KTIME_MAX

5) Now CPU 8 is connected with GRP0:1 and CPU 8 calls tmigr_active_up() out
of tmigr_cpu_online().

migrator = GRP0:0

nextevt = T8

migrator = TMIGR_NONE migrator = TMIGR_NONE
active = NONE active = NONE
nextevt = KTIME_MAX nextevt = T8
/ \ |
0 1 .. 7 8
idle idle idle
5) CPU 8 goes idle with a timer T8 and relies on GRP0:0 as the migrator.
But it's not really active, so T8 gets ignored.
--> The update which is done in third step is not noticed by setup code. So
a wrong migrator is set to top level group and a timer could get
ignored.
(B) Reading group->parent and group->childmask when an hierarchy update is
ongoing and reaches the formerly top level group is racy as those values
could be inconsistent. (The notation of migrator and active now slightly
changes in contrast to the above example, as now the childmasks are used.)

0 1 .. 7 8

childmask=1
tmigr_walk.childmask = 0
5) CPU 0 sees the connection to GRP1:0 and now propagates active state to
GRP1:0 but with childmask = 0 as stored in propagation data structure.
--> Now GRP1:0 always has a migrator as 0x00 != TMIGR_NONE and for all CPUs
it looks like GRP1:0 is always active.
To prevent those races, the setup of the hierarchy is moved into the
cpuhotplug prepare callback. The prepare callback is not executed by the
CPU which will come online, it is executed by the CPU which prepares
onlining of the other CPU. This CPU is active while it is connecting the
formerly top level to the new one. This prevents from (A) to happen and it
also prevents from any further walk above the formerly top level until that
active CPU becomes inactive, releasing the new ->parent and ->childmask
updates to be visible by any subsequent walk up above the formerly top
level hierarchy. This prevents from (B) to happen. The direction for the
updates is now forced to look like "from bottom to top".
However if the active CPU prevents from tmigr_cpu_(in)active() to walk up
with the update not-or-half visible, nothing prevents walking up to the new
top with a 0 childmask in tmigr_handle_remote_up() or
tmigr_requires_handle_remote_up() if the active CPU doing the prepare is
not the migrator. But then it looks fine because:
* tmigr_check_migrator() should just return false
* The migrator is active and should eventually observe the new childmask
at some point in a future tick.
Split setup functionality of online callback into the cpuhotplug prepare
callback and setup hotplug state. Change init call into early_initcall() to
make sure an already active CPU prepares everything for newly upcoming
CPUs. Reorder the code, that all prepare related functions are close to
each other and online and offline callbacks are also close together.

When reading group->parent without holding the group lock it is racy
against CPUs coming online the first time and thereby creating another
level of the hierarchy. This is not a problem when this value is read once
to decide whether to abort a propagation or not. The worst outcome is an
unnecessary/early CPU wake up. But it is racy when reading it several times
during a single 'action' (like activation, deactivation, checking for
remote timer expiry,...) and relying on the consitency of this value
without holding the lock. This happens at the moment e.g. in
tmigr_inactive_up() which is also calling tmigr_udpate_events(). Code relys
on group->parent not to change during this 'action'.
Update parent struct member description to explain the above only
once. Remove parent pointer checks when they are not mandatory (like update
of data->childmask). Remove a warning, which would be nice but the trigger
of this warning is not reliable and add expand the data structure member
description instead. Expand a comment, why it is safe to rely on parent
pointer here (inside hierarchy update).

Running the LTP hotplug stress test on a aarch64 machine results in
rcu_sched stall warnings when the broadcast hrtimer was owned by the
un-plugged CPU. The issue is the following:
CPU1 (owns the broadcast hrtimer) CPU2
tick_broadcast_enter()
// shutdown local timer device
broadcast_shutdown_local()
...
tick_broadcast_exit()
clockevents_switch_state(dev, CLOCK_EVT_STATE_ONESHOT)
// timer device is not programmed
cpumask_set_cpu(cpu, tick_broadcast_force_mask)
initiates offlining of CPU1
take_cpu_down()
/*
* CPU1 shuts down and does not
* send broadcast IPI anymore
*/
takedown_cpu()
hotplug_cpu__broadcast_tick_pull()
// move broadcast hrtimer to this CPU
clockevents_program_event()
bc_set_next()
hrtimer_start()
/*
* timer device is not programmed
* because only the first expiring
* timer will trigger clockevent
* device reprogramming
*/
What happens is that CPU2 exits broadcast mode with force bit set, then the
local timer device is not reprogrammed and CPU2 expects to receive the
expired event by the broadcast IPI. But this does not happen because CPU1
is offlined by CPU2. CPU switches the clockevent device to ONESHOT state,
but does not reprogram the device.
The subsequent reprogramming of the hrtimer broadcast device does not
program the clockevent device of CPU2 either because the pending expiry
time is already in the past and the CPU expects the event to be delivered.
As a consequence all CPUs which wait for a broadcast event to be delivered
are stuck forever.
Fix this issue by reprogramming the local timer device if the broadcast
force bit of the CPU is set so that the broadcast hrtimer is delivered.

When the WARN_ON_ONCE() triggers, the printk() of the additional
information related to the warning will not happen in print level
"warn". When reading dmesg with a restriction to level "warn", the
information published by the printk_once() will not show up there.
Transform WARN_ON_ONCE() and printk_once() into a WARN_ONCE().
