- The final step to get rid of auto-rearming posix-timers
posix-timers are currently auto-rearmed by the kernel when the signal
of the timer is ignored so that the timer signal can be delivered once
the corresponding signal is unignored.
This requires to throttle the timer to prevent a DoS by small intervals
and keeps the system pointlessly out of low power states for no value.
This is a long standing non-trivial problem due to the lock order of
posix-timer lock and the sighand lock along with life time issues as
the timer and the sigqueue have different life time rules.
Cure this by:
* Embedding the sigqueue into the timer struct to have the same life
time rules. Aside of that this also avoids the lookup of the timer
in the signal delivery and rearm path as it's just a always valid
container_of() now.
* Queuing ignored timer signals onto a seperate ignored list.
* Moving queued timer signals onto the ignored list when the signal is
switched to SIG_IGN before it could be delivered.
* Walking the ignored list when SIG_IGN is lifted and requeue the
signals to the actual signal lists. This allows the signal delivery
code to rearm the timer.
This also required to consolidate the signal delivery rules so they are
consistent across all situations. With that all self test scenarios
finally succeed.
- Core infrastructure for VFS multigrain timestamping
This is required to allow the kernel to use coarse grained time stamps
by default and switch to fine grained time stamps when inode attributes
are actively observed via getattr().
These changes have been provided to the VFS tree as well, so that the
VFS specific infrastructure could be built on top.
- Cleanup and consolidation of the sleep() infrastructure
* Move all sleep and timeout functions into one file
* Rework udelay() and ndelay() into proper documented inline functions
and replace the hardcoded magic numbers by proper defines.
* Rework the fsleep() implementation to take the reality of the timer
wheel granularity on different HZ values into account. Right now the
boundaries are hard coded time ranges which fail to provide the
requested accuracy on different HZ settings.
* Update documentation for all sleep/timeout related functions and fix
up stale documentation links all over the place
* Fixup a few usage sites
- Rework of timekeeping and adjtimex(2) to prepare for multiple PTP clocks
A system can have multiple PTP clocks which are participating in
seperate and independent PTP clock domains. So far the kernel only
considers the PTP clock which is based on CLOCK TAI relevant as that's
the clock which drives the timekeeping adjustments via the various user
space daemons through adjtimex(2).
The non TAI based clock domains are accessible via the file descriptor
based posix clocks, but their usability is very limited. They can't be
accessed fast as they always go all the way out to the hardware and
they cannot be utilized in the kernel itself.
As Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) gains traction it is required to
provide fast user and kernel space access to these clocks.
The approach taken is to utilize the timekeeping and adjtimex(2)
infrastructure to provide this access in a similar way how the kernel
provides access to clock MONOTONIC, REALTIME etc.
Instead of creating a duplicated infrastructure this rework converts
timekeeping and adjtimex(2) into generic functionality which operates
on pointers to data structures instead of using static variables.
This allows to provide time accessors and adjtimex(2) functionality for
the independent PTP clocks in a subsequent step.
- Consolidate hrtimer initialization
hrtimers are set up by initializing the data structure and then
seperately setting the callback function for historical reasons.
That's an extra unnecessary step and makes Rust support less straight
forward than it should be.
Provide a new set of hrtimer_setup*() functions and convert the core
code and a few usage sites of the less frequently used interfaces over.
The bulk of the htimer_init() to hrtimer_setup() conversion is already
prepared and scheduled for the next merge window.
- Drivers:
* Ensure that the global timekeeping clocksource is utilizing the
cluster 0 timer on MIPS multi-cluster systems.
Otherwise CPUs on different clusters use their cluster specific
clocksource which is not guaranteed to be synchronized with other
clusters.
* Mostly boring cleanups, fixes, improvements and code movement

The IORING_OP_TIMEOUT command uses hrtimer underneath. The timer's callback
function is setup in io_timeout(), and then the callback function is setup
again when the timer is rearmed.
Since the callback function is the same for both cases, the latter setup is
redundant, therefore remove it.

Rather than store the task_struct itself in struct io_kiocb, store
the io_uring specific task_struct. The life times are the same in terms
of io_uring, and this avoids doing some dereferences through the
task_struct. For the hot path of putting local task references, we can
deref req->tctx instead, which we'll need anyway in that function
regardless of whether it's local or remote references.
This is mostly straight forward, except the original task PF_EXITING
check needs a bit of tweaking. task_work is _always_ run from the
originating task, except in the fallback case, where it's run from a
kernel thread. Replace the potentially racy (in case of fallback work)
checks for req->task->flags with current->flags. It's either the still
the original task, in which case PF_EXITING will be sane, or it has
PF_KTHREAD set, in which case it's fallback work. Both cases should
prevent moving forward with the given request.

The restriction on multishot execution context disallowing io-wq is
driven by rules of io_fill_cqe_req_aux(), it should only be called in
the master task context, either from the syscall path or in task_work.
Since task_work now always takes the ctx lock implying
IO_URING_F_COMPLETE_DEFER, we can just assume that the function is
always called with its defer argument set to true.
Kill the argument. Also rename the function for more consistency as
"fill" in CQE related functions was usually meant for raw interfaces
only copying data into the CQ without any locking, waking the user
and other accounting "post" functions take care of.

ctx is always locked for task_work now, so get rid of struct
io_tw_state::locked. Note I'm stopping one step before removing
io_tw_state altogether, which is not empty, because it still serves the
purpose of indicating which function is a tw callback and forcing users
not to invoke them carelessly out of a wrong context. The removal can
always be done later.

Now all callers of io_aux_cqe() set allow_overflow to false, remove the
parameter and not allow overflowing auxilary multishot cqes.
When CQ is full the function callers and all multishot requests in
general are expected to complete the request. That prevents indefinite
in-background grows of the overflow list and let's the userspace to
handle the backlog at its own pace.
Resubmitting a request should also be faster than accounting a bunch of
overflows, so it should be better for perf when it happens, but a well
behaving userspace should be trying to avoid overflows in any case.

A multishot timeout submission will repeatedly generate completions with
the IORING_CQE_F_MORE cflag set. Depending on the value of the `off'
field in the submission, these timeouts can either repeat indefinitely
until cancelled (`off' = 0) or for a fixed number of times (`off' > 0).
Only noseq timeouts (i.e. not dependent on the number of I/O
completions) are supported.
An indefinite timer will be cancelled if the CQ ever overflows.

io_kill_timeouts() doesn't post any events but queues everything to

Some io_uring-eventfd users assume that there won't be spurious wakeups.
That assumption has to be honoured by all io_cqring_ev_posted() callers,
which is inconvenient and from time to time leads to problems but should
be maintained to not break the userspace.
Instead of making the callers track whether a CQE was posted or not, hide
it inside io_eventfd_signal(). It saves ->cached_cq_tail it saw last time
and triggers the eventfd only when ->cached_cq_tail changed since then.
