Some applications must be aware of clock realtime being set
backward. A simple example is a clock applet which arms a timer for
the next minute display. If clock realtime is set backward then the
applet displays a stale time for the amount of time which the clock
was set backwards. Due to that applications poll the time because we
don't have an interface.
Extend the timerfd interface by adding a flag which puts the timer
onto a different internal realtime clock. All timers on this clock are
expired whenever the clock was set.
The timerfd core records the monotonic offset when the timer is
created. When the timer is armed, then the current offset is compared
to the previous recorded offset. When it has changed, then
timerfd_settime returns -ECANCELED. When a timer is read the offset is
compared and if it changed -ECANCELED returned to user space. Periodic
timers are not rearmed in the cancelation case.

The updating of a function record is moved to a single function. This will allow

Since we disable all function tracer processing if we detect
that a modification of a instruction had failed, we do not need
to track that the record has failed. No more ftrace processing
is allowed, and the FTRACE_FL_CONVERTED flag is pointless.
The FTRACE_FL_CONVERTED flag was used to denote records that were
successfully converted from mcount calls into nops. But if a single
record fails, all of ftrace is disabled.

If a rescuer and stop_machine() bringing down a CPU race with each
other, they may deadlock on non-preemptive kernel. The CPU won't
accept a new task, so the rescuer can't migrate to the target CPU,
while stop_machine() can't proceed because the rescuer is holding one
of the CPU retrying migration. GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED is never cleared
and worker_maybe_bind_and_lock() retries indefinitely.
This problem can be reproduced semi reliably while the system is
entering suspend.

Sedat and Bruno reported RCU stalls which turned out to be caused by
the following;
sched_init() calls init_rt_bandwidth() which calls hrtimer_init()
_BEFORE_ hrtimers_init() is called. While not entirely correct this
worked because hrtimer_init() only accessed statically initialized
data (hrtimer_bases.clock_base[CLOCK_MONOTONIC])
Commit e06383db9 (hrtimers: extend hrtimer base code to handle more
then 2 clockids) added an indirection to the hrtimer_bases.clock_base
lookup to avoid gap handling in the hot path. The table which is used
for the translataion from CLOCK_ID to HRTIMER_BASE index is
initialized at runtime in hrtimers_init(). So the early call of the
scheduler code translates CLOCK_MONOTONIC to HRTIMER_BASE_REALTIME.
Thus the rt_bandwith timer ends up on CLOCK_REALTIME. If the timer is
armed and the wall clock time is set (e.g. ntpdate in the early boot
process - which also gives the problem deterministic behaviour
i.e. magic recovery after N hours), then the timer ends up with an
expiry time far into the future. That breaks the RT throttler
mechanism as rt runtime is accumulated and never cleared, so the rt
throttler detects a false cpu hog condition and blocks all RT tasks
until the timer finally expires. That in turn stalls the RCU thread of
TINYRCU which leads to an huge amount of RCU callbacks piling up.
Make the translation table statically initialized, so we are back to
the status of <= 2.6.39.

Thomas asked about the delayed irq work in the alarmtimers code,
and I realized that it was a legacy from when the alarmtimer base
lock was a mutex (due to concerns that we'd be interacting with
the RTC device, which is protected by mutexes).
Since the alarmtimer base is now protected by a spinlock, we can
simply execute alarmtimer functions directly from the hrtimer
callback. Should any future alarmtimer functions sleep, they can
simply manage scheduling any delayed work themselves.

do_sigtimedwait() changes current->blocked and thus it needs
set_current_blocked()->retarget_shared_pending().
We could use set_current_blocked() directly. It is fine to change
->real_blocked from all-zeroes to ->blocked and vice versa lockless,
but this is not immediately clear, looks racy, and needs a huge
comment to explain why this is correct.
To keep the things simple this patch adds the new static helper,
__set_task_blocked() which should be called with ->siglock held. This
way we can change both ->real_blocked and ->blocked atomically under
->siglock as the current code does. This is more understandable.

In short, almost every changing of current->blocked is wrong, or at least
can lead to the unexpected results.
For example. Two threads T1 and T2, T1 sleeps in sigtimedwait/pause/etc.
kill(tgid, SIG) can pick T2 for TIF_SIGPENDING. If T2 calls sigprocmask()
and blocks SIG before it notices the pending signal, nobody else can handle
this pending shared signal.
I am not sure this is bug, but at least this looks strange imho. T1 should
not sleep forever, there is a signal which should wake it up.
This patch moves the code which actually changes ->blocked into the new
helper, set_current_blocked() and changes this code to call
retarget_shared_pending() as exit_signals() does. We should only care about
the signals we just blocked, we use "newset & ~current->blocked" as a mask.
We do not check !sigisemptyset(newblocked), retarget_shared_pending() is
cheap unless mask & shared_pending.
Note: for this particular case we could simply change sigprocmask() to
return -EINTR if signal_pending(), but then we should change other callers
and, more importantly, if we need this fix then set_current_blocked() will
have more callers and some of them can't restart. See the next patch as a
random example.

This patch allows the default value for sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs
to be set at build time. The feature carries virtually no overhead,
so it makes sense to keep it enabled. On heavily loaded systems, though,
it can end up triggering stack traces when there is no bug other than
the system being underprovisioned. We use this patch to keep the hung task
facility available but disabled at boot-time.
The default of 120 seconds is preserved. As a note, commit e162b39a may

2. Since tsk is current (or tsk is being created by copy_process) access to

This patch exposes alarm-timers to userland via the posix clock
and timers interface, using two new clockids: CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM
and CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM. Both clockids behave identically to
CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_BOOTTIME, respectively, but timers
set against the _ALARM suffixed clockids will wake the system if
it is suspended.
Some background can be found here:
https://lwn.net/Articles/429925/
The concept for Alarm-timers was inspired by the Android Alarm
driver (by Arve Hjønnevåg) found in the Android kernel tree.
See: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=kernel/common.git;a=blob;f=drivers/rtc/alarm.c;h=1250edfbdf3302f5e4ea6194847c6ef4bb7beb1c;hb=android-2.6.36
While the in-kernel interface is pretty similar between
alarm-timers and Android alarm driver, the user-space interface
for the Android alarm driver is via ioctls to a new char device.
As mentioned above, I've instead chosen to export this functionality
via the posix interface, as it seemed a little simpler and avoids
creating duplicate interfaces to things like CLOCK_REALTIME and
CLOCK_MONOTONIC under alternate names (ie:ANDROID_ALARM_RTC and
ANDROID_ALARM_SYSTEMTIME).
The semantics of the Android alarm driver are different from what
this posix interface provides. For instance, threads other then
the thread waiting on the Android alarm driver are able to modify
the alarm being waited on. Also this interface does not allow
the same wakelock semantics that the Android driver provides
(ie: kernel takes a wakelock on RTC alarm-interupt, and holds it
through process wakeup, and while the process runs, until the
process either closes the char device or calls back in to wait
on a new alarm).
One potential way to implement similar semantics may be via
the timerfd infrastructure, but this needs more research.
There may also need to be some sort of sysfs system level policy
hooks that allow alarm timers to be disabled to keep them
from firing at inappropriate times (ie: laptop in a well insulated
bag, mid-flight).

This provides the in kernel interface and infrastructure for
alarm-timers.
Alarm-timers are a hybrid style timer, similar to hrtimers,
but when the system is suspended, the RTC device is set to
fire and wake the system for when the soonest alarm-timer
expires.
The concept for Alarm-timers was inspired by the Android Alarm
driver (by Arve Hjønnevåg) found in the Android kernel tree.
See: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=kernel/common.git;a=blob;f=drivers/rtc/alarm.c;h=1250edfbdf3302f5e4ea6194847c6ef4bb7beb1c;hb=android-2.6.36
This in-kernel interface should be fairly compatible with the
Android alarm driver in-kernel interface, but has the advantage
of utilizing the new RTC timerqueue code instead of doing direct
RTC manipulation.

Some platforms cannot implement read_persistent_clock, as
their RTC devices are only accessible when interrupts are enabled.
This keeps them from being used by the timekeeping code on resume
to measure the time in suspend.
The RTC layer tries to work around this, by calling do_settimeofday
on resume after irqs are reenabled to set the time properly. However,
this only corrects CLOCK_REALTIME, and does not properly adjust
the sleep time value. This causes btime in /proc/stat to be incorrect
as well as making the new CLOCK_BOTTTIME inaccurate.
This patch resolves the issue by introducing a new timekeeping hook
to allow the RTC layer to inject the sleep time on resume.
The code also checks to make sure that read_persistent_clock is
nonfunctional before setting the sleep time, so that should the RTC's
HCTOSYS option be configured in on a system that does support
read_persistent_clock we will not increase the total_sleep_time twice.

When a task is traced and is in a stopped state, the tracer
may execute a ptrace request to examine the tracee state and
get its task struct. Right after, the tracee can be killed
and thus its breakpoints released.
This can happen concurrently when the tracer is in the middle
of reading or modifying these breakpoints, leading to dereferencing
a freed pointer.
Hence, to prepare the fix, create a generic breakpoint reference
holding API. When a reference on the breakpoints of a task is
held, the breakpoints won't be released until the last reference
