can_stop_idle_tick() checks whether the do_timer() duty has been taken over
by a CPU on boot. That's silly because the boot CPU always takes over with
the initial clockevent device.
But even if no CPU would have installed a clockevent and taken over the
duty then the question whether the tick on the current CPU can be stopped
or not is moot. In that case the current CPU would have no clockevent
either, so there would be nothing to keep ticking.
Remove it.

tick_handover_do_timer() which is invoked when a CPU is unplugged has a
check for cpumask_first(cpu_online_mask) when it tries to hand over the
tick update duty.
Checking the result of cpumask_first() there is pointless because if the
online mask is empty at this point, then this would be the last CPU in the
system going offline, which is impossible. There is always at least one CPU
remaining. If online mask would be really empty then the timer duty would
be the least of the resulting problems.
Remove the well meant check simply because it is pointless and confusing.

Pull asm-generic cross-architecture timer cleanup from Arnd Bergmann:
"This cleans up two ancient timer features that were never completed in
the past, CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS and CONFIG_ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET.
There was only one user left for the ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET variant
of clocksource implementations, the ARM EBSA110 platform. Rather than
changing to use modern timekeeping, we remove the platform entirely as
Russell no longer uses his machine and nobody else seems to have one
any more.
The conditional code for using arch_gettimeoffset() is removed as a
result.
For CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS, there are still a couple of platforms
not using clockevent drivers: parisc, ia64, most of m68k, and one Arm
platform. These all do timer ticks slighly differently, and this gets
cleaned up to the point they at least all call the same helper
function.
Instead of most platforms using 'select GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS' in
Kconfig, the polarity is now reversed, with the few remaining ones
selecting LEGACY_TIMER_TICK instead"

Pull misc fixes from Christian Brauner:
"This contains several fixes which felt worth being combined into a
single branch:
- Use put_nsproxy() instead of open-coding it switch_task_namespaces()
- Kirill's work to unify lifecycle management for all namespaces. The
lifetime counters are used identically for all namespaces types.
Namespaces may of course have additional unrelated counters and
these are not altered. This work allows us to unify the type of the
counters and reduces maintenance cost by moving the counter in one
place and indicating that basic lifetime management is identical
for all namespaces.
- Peilin's fix adding three byte padding to Dmitry's
PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO uapi struct to prevent an info leak.
- Two smal patches to convert from the /* fall through */ comment

The quick check in tick_do_update_jiffies64() whether jiffies need to be
updated is not really correct under all circumstances and on all
architectures, especially not on 32bit systems.
The quick check does:
if (now < READ_ONCE(tick_next_period))
return;
and the counterpart in the update is:
WRITE_ONCE(tick_next_period, next_update_time);
This has two problems:
1) On weakly ordered architectures there is no guarantee that the stores
before the WRITE_ONCE() are visible which means that other CPUs can
operate on a stale jiffies value.
2) On 32bit the store of tick_next_period which is an u64 is split into
two 32bit stores. If the first 32bit store advances tick_next_period
far out and the second 32bit store is delayed (virt, NMI ...) then
jiffies will become stale until the second 32bit store happens.
Address this by seperating the handling for 32bit and 64bit.
On 64bit problem #1 is addressed by replacing READ_ONCE() / WRITE_ONCE()
with smp_load_acquire() / smp_store_release().
On 32bit problem #2 is addressed by protecting the quick check with the
jiffies sequence counter. The load and stores can be plain because the
sequence count mechanics provides the required barriers already.

The code for the legacy RTC and the RTC class based update are pretty much
the same. Consolidate the common parts into one function and just invoke
the actual setter functions.
For RTC class based devices the update code checks whether the offset is
valid for the device, which is usually not the case for the first
invocation. If it's not the same it stores the correct offset and lets the
caller try again. That's not much different from the previous approach
where the first invocation had a pretty low probability to actually hit the
allowed window.

The current RTC set_offset_nsec value is not really intuitive to
understand.
tsched twrite(t2.tv_sec - 1) t2 (seconds increment)
The offset is calculated from twrite based on the assumption that t2 -
twrite == 1s. That means for the MC146818 RTC the offset needs to be
negative so that the write happens 500ms before t2.
It's easier to understand when the whole calculation is based on t2. That
avoids negative offsets and the meaning is obvious:
t2 - twrite: The time defined by the chip when seconds increment
after the write.
twrite - tsched: The time for the transport to the point where the chip
is updated.
==> set_offset_nsec = t2 - tsched
ttransport = twrite - tsched
tRTCinc = t2 - twrite
==> set_offset_nsec = ttransport + tRTCinc
tRTCinc is a chip property and can be obtained from the data sheet.
ttransport depends on how the RTC is connected. It is close to 0 for
directly accessible RTCs. For RTCs behind a slow bus, e.g. i2c, it's the
time required to send the update over the bus. This can be estimated or
even calibrated, but that's a different problem.
Adjust the implementation and update comments accordingly.

Miroslav reported that the periodic RTC synchronization in the NTP code
fails more often than not to hit the specified update window.
The reason is that the code uses delayed_work to schedule the update which
needs to be in thread context as the underlying RTC might be connected via
a slow bus, e.g. I2C. In the update function it verifies whether the
current time is correct vs. the requirements of the underlying RTC.
But delayed_work is using the timer wheel for scheduling which is
inaccurate by design. Depending on the distance to the expiry the wheel
gets less granular to allow batching and to avoid the cascading of the
original timer wheel. See 500462a9de65 ("timers: Switch to a non-cascading
wheel") and the code for further details.
The code already deals with this by splitting the 660 seconds period into a
long 659 seconds timer and then retrying with a smaller delta.
But looking at the actual granularities of the timer wheel (which depend on
the HZ configuration) the 659 seconds timer ends up in an outer wheel level
and is affected by a worst case granularity of:
HZ Granularity
1000 32s
250 16s
100 40s
So the initial timer can be already off by max 12.5% which is not a big
issue as the period of the sync is defined as ~11 minutes.
The fine grained second attempt schedules to the desired update point with
a timer expiring less than a second from now. Depending on the actual delta
and the HZ setting even the second attempt can end up in outer wheel levels
which have a large enough granularity to make the correctness check fail.
As this is a fundamental property of the timer wheel there is no way to
make this more accurate short of iterating in one jiffies steps towards the
update point.
Switch it to an hrtimer instead which schedules the actual update work. The
hrtimer will expire precisely (max 1 jiffie delay when high resolution
timers are not available). The actual scheduling delay of the work is the
same as before.
The update is triggered from do_adjtimex() which is a bit racy but not much
more racy than it was before:
if (ntp_synced())
queue_delayed_work(system_power_efficient_wq, &sync_work, 0);
which is racy when the work is currently executed and has not managed to
reschedule itself.
This becomes now:
if (ntp_synced() && !hrtimer_is_queued(&sync_hrtimer))
queue_work(system_power_efficient_wq, &sync_work, 0);
which is racy when the hrtimer has expired and the work is currently
executed and has not yet managed to rearm the hrtimer.
Not a big problem as it just schedules work for nothing.
The new implementation has a safe guard in place to catch the case where
the hrtimer is queued on entry to the work function and avoids an extra
update attempt of the RTC that way.

The variable tick_period is initialized to NSEC_PER_TICK / HZ during boot
and never updated again.
If NSEC_PER_TICK is not an integer multiple of HZ this computation is less
accurate than TICK_NSEC which has proper rounding in place.
Aside of the inaccuracy there is no reason for having this variable at
all. It's just a pointless indirection and all usage sites can just use the
TICK_NSEC constant.

tick_broadcast_setup_oneshot() accesses tick_next_period twice without any
serialization. This is wrong in two aspects:
- Reading it twice might make the broadcast data inconsistent if the
variable is updated concurrently.
- On 32bit systems the access might see an partial update
Protect it with jiffies_lock. That's safe as none of the callchains leading
up to this function can create a lock ordering violation:

PREEMPT_RT does not spin and wait until a running timer completes its
callback but instead it blocks on a sleeping lock to prevent a livelock in
the case that the task waiting for the callback completion preempted the
callback.
This cannot be done for timers flagged with TIMER_IRQSAFE. These timers can
be canceled from an interrupt disabled context even on RT kernels.
The expiry callback of such timers is invoked with interrupts disabled so
there is no need to use the expiry lock mechanism because obviously the
callback cannot be preempted even on RT kernels.
Do not use the timer_base::expiry_lock mechanism when waiting for a running
callback to complete if the timer is flagged with TIMER_IRQSAFE.
Also add a lockdep assertion for RT kernels to validate that the expiry
lock mechanism is always invoked in preemptible context.

Almost all machines use GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS, so it feels wrong to
require each one to select that symbol manually.
Instead, enable it whenever CONFIG_LEGACY_TIMER_TICK is disabled as
a simplification. It should be possible to select both
GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS and LEGACY_TIMER_TICK from an architecture now
and decide at runtime between the two.
For the clockevents arch-support.txt file, this means that additional
architectures are marked as TODO when they have at least one machine
that still uses LEGACY_TIMER_TICK, rather than being marked 'ok' when
at least one machine has been converted. This means that both m68k and
arm (for riscpc) revert to TODO.
At this point, we could just always enable CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS
rather than leaving it off when not needed. I built an m68k
defconfig kernel (using gcc-10.1.0) and found that this would add
around 5.5KB in kernel image size:
text data bss dec hex filename
3861936 1092236 196656 5150828 4e986c obj-m68k/vmlinux-no-clockevent
3866201 1093832 196184 5156217 4ead79 obj-m68k/vmlinux-clockevent
On Arm (MACH_RPC), that difference appears to be twice as large,
around 11KB on top of an 6MB vmlinux.

There are no more users of xtime_update aside from legacy_timer_tick(),
so fold it into that function and remove the declaration.
update_process_times() is now only called inside of the kernel/time/
code, so the declaration can be moved there.

All platforms that currently do not use generic clockevents roughly call
the same set of functions in their timer interrupts: xtime_update(),
update_process_times() and profile_tick(), sometimes in a different
sequence.
Add a helper function that performs all three of them, to make the
callers more uniform and simplify the interface.

With the removal of the interrupt perturbations in previous random32
change (random32: make prandom_u32() output unpredictable), the PRNG
has become 100% deterministic again. While SipHash is expected to be
way more robust against brute force than the previous Tausworthe LFSR,
there's still the risk that whoever has even one temporary access to
the PRNG's internal state is able to predict all subsequent draws till
the next reseed (roughly every minute). This may happen through a side
channel attack or any data leak.
This patch restores the spirit of commit f227e3ec3b5c ("random32: update
the net random state on interrupt and activity") in that it will perturb
the internal PRNG's statee using externally collected noise, except that
it will not pick that noise from the random pool's bits nor upon
interrupt, but will rather combine a few elements along the Tx path
that are collectively hard to predict, such as dev, skb and txq
pointers, packet length and jiffies values. These ones are combined
using a single round of SipHash into a single long variable that is
mixed with the net_rand_state upon each invocation.
The operation was inlined because it produces very small and efficient
code, typically 3 xor, 2 add and 2 rol. The performance was measured
to be the same (even very slightly better) than before the switch to
SipHash; on a 6-core 12-thread Core i7-8700k equipped with a 40G NIC
(i40e), the connection rate dropped from 556k/s to 555k/s while the
SYN cookie rate grew from 5.38 Mpps to 5.45 Mpps.

Non-cryptographic PRNGs may have great statistical properties, but
are usually trivially predictable to someone who knows the algorithm,
given a small sample of their output. An LFSR like prandom_u32() is
particularly simple, even if the sample is widely scattered bits.
It turns out the network stack uses prandom_u32() for some things like
random port numbers which it would prefer are *not* trivially predictable.
Predictability led to a practical DNS spoofing attack. Oops.
This patch replaces the LFSR with a homebrew cryptographic PRNG based
on the SipHash round function, which is in turn seeded with 128 bits
of strong random key. (The authors of SipHash have *not* been consulted
about this abuse of their algorithm.) Speed is prioritized over security;
attacks are rare, while performance is always wanted.
Replacing all callers of prandom_u32() is the quick fix.
Whether to reinstate a weaker PRNG for uses which can tolerate it
is an open question.
Commit f227e3ec3b5c ("random32: update the net random state on interrupt
and activity") was an earlier attempt at a solution. This patch replaces
it.

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
"These are the locking updates for v5.10:
- Add deadlock detection for recursive read-locks.
The rationale is outlined in commit 224ec489d3cd ("lockdep/
Documention: Recursive read lock detection reasoning")
The main deadlock pattern we want to detect is:
TASK A: TASK B:
read_lock(X);
write_lock(X);
read_lock_2(X);
- Add "latch sequence counters" (seqcount_latch_t):
A sequence counter variant where the counter even/odd value is used
to switch between two copies of protected data. This allows the
read path, typically NMIs, to safely interrupt the write side
critical section.
We utilize this new variant for sched-clock, and to make x86 TSC
handling safer.
