2017-12-15posix-timer: Properly check sigevent->sigev_notifyThomas Gleixner
timer_create() specifies via sigevent->sigev_notify the signal delivery for the new timer. The valid modes are SIGEV_NONE, SIGEV_SIGNAL, SIGEV_THREAD and (SIGEV_SIGNAL | SIGEV_THREAD_ID). The sanity check in good_sigevent() is only checking the valid combination for the SIGEV_THREAD_ID bit, i.e. SIGEV_SIGNAL, but if SIGEV_THREAD_ID is not set it accepts any random value. This has no real effects on the posix timer and signal delivery code, but it affects show_timer() which handles the output of /proc/$PID/timers. That function uses a string array to pretty print sigev_notify. The access to that array has no bound checks, so random sigev_notify cause access beyond the array bounds. Add proper checks for the valid notify modes and remove the SIGEV_THREAD_ID masking from various code pathes as SIGEV_NONE can never be set in combination with SIGEV_THREAD_ID.

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.

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.

ktime is a union because the initial implementation stored the time in scalar nanoseconds on 64 bit machine and in a endianess optimized timespec variant for 32bit machines. The Y2038 cleanup removed the timespec variant and switched everything to scalar nanoseconds. The union remained, but become completely pointless. Get rid of the union and just keep ktime_t as simple typedef of type s64. The conversion was done with coccinelle and some manual mopping up.

2015-04-22hrtimer: Get rid of hrtimer_get_res()Thomas Gleixner
The resolution is directly accessible now. So its simpler just to fill in the values of the timespec and be done with it. Text size reduction (combined with "hrtimer: Get rid of the resolution field in hrtimer_clock_base"): x8664 -61, i386 -221, ARM -60, power64 -48 Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Preeti U Murthy <preeti@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org> Cc: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20150414203500.879888080@linutronix.de Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
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...")

2014-07-23time: Consolidate the time accessor prototypesThomas Gleixner
Right now we have time related prototypes in 3 different header files. Move it to a single timekeeping header file and move the core internal stuff into a core private header. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org>

Except for Kconfig.HZ. That needs a separate treatment. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
