2017-06-30posix_clocks: Use get_itimerspec64() and put_itimerspec64()Deepa Dinamani
Usage of these apis and their compat versions makes the syscalls: timer_settime and timer_gettime and their compat implementations simpler. This patch also serves as a preparatory patch for changing syscalls to use new time_t data types to support the y2038 effort by isolating the processing of user pointers through these apis.

Usage of these apis and their compat versions makes the syscalls: clock_nanosleep and nanosleep and their compat implementations simpler. This is a preparatory patch to isolate data conversions to struct timespec64 at userspace boundaries. This helps contain the changes needed to transition to new y2038 safe types.

2017-06-12posix-timers: Handle relative posix-timers correctlyThomas Gleixner
The recent rework of the posix timer internals broke the magic posix mechanism, which requires that relative timers are not affected by modifications of the underlying clock. That means relative CLOCK_REALTIME timers cannot use CLOCK_REALTIME, because that can be set and adjusted. The underlying hrtimer switches the clock for these timers to CLOCK_MONOTONIC. That still works, but reading the remaining time of such a timer has been broken in the rework. The old code used the hrtimer internals directly and avoided the posix clock callbacks. Now common_timer_get() uses the underlying kclock->timer_get() callback, which is still CLOCK_REALTIME based. So the remaining time of such a timer is calculated against the wrong time base. Handle it by switching the k_itimer->kclock pointer according to the resulting hrtimer mode. k_itimer->it_clock still contains CLOCK_REALTIME because the timer might be set with ABSTIME later and then it needs to switch back to the realtime posix clock implementation.

2017-06-12posix-timers: Fix inverted SIGEV_NONE logic in common_timer_get()Thomas Gleixner
The refactoring of the posix-timer core to allow better code sharing introduced inverted logic vs. SIGEV_NONE timers in common_timer_get(). That causes hrtimer_forward() to be called on active timers, which rightfully triggers the warning hrtimer_forward(). Make sig_none what it says: signal mode == SIGEV_NONE.

2014-10-25posix-timers: Fix stack info leak in timer_create()Mathias Krause
If userland creates a timer without specifying a sigevent info, we'll create one ourself, using a stack local variable. Particularly will we use the timer ID as sival_int. But as sigev_value is a union containing a pointer and an int, that assignment will only partially initialize sigev_value on systems where the size of a pointer is bigger than the size of an int. On such systems we'll copy the uninitialized stack bytes from the timer_create() call to userland when the timer actually fires and we're going to deliver the signal. Initialize sigev_value with 0 to plug the stack info leak. Found in the PaX patch, written by the PaX Team. Fixes: 5a9fa7307285 ("posix-timers: kill ->it_sigev_signo and...")
