d2054b2c11 posix-timers: Remove unused variable
Remove the unused variable *node introduced by commit 5ed67f05 (posix
timers: Allocate timer id per process)

5ed67f05f6 posix timers: Allocate timer id per process (v2)
Currently kernel generates IDs for posix timers in a global manner --
there's a kernel-wide IDR tree from which IDs are created. This makes
it impossible to recreate a timer with a desired ID (in particular
this is done by the CRIU checkpoint-restore project) -- since these
IDs are global it may happen, that at the time we recreate a timer, the
ID we want for it is already busy by some other timer.

In order to address this, replace the IDR tree with a global hash
table for timers and makes timer IDs unique per signal_struct (to
which timers are linked anyway). With this, two timers belonging to
different processes may have equal IDs and we can recreate either of
them with the ID we want.

e182bb38d7 posix-timer: Don't call idr_find() with out-of-range ID
When idr_find() was fed a negative ID, it used to look up the ID
ignoring the sign bit before recent ("idr: remove MAX_IDR_MASK and
move left MAX_IDR_* into idr.c") patch. Now a negative ID triggers
a WARN_ON_ONCE().

__lock_timer() feeds timer_id from userland directly to idr_find()
without sanitizing it which can trigger the above malfunctions.  Add a
range check on @timer_id before invoking idr_find() in __lock_timer().

While timer_t is defined as int by all archs at the moment, Andrew
worries that it may be defined as a larger type later on.  Make the
test cover larger integers too so that it at least is guaranteed to
not return the wrong timer.

Note that WARN_ON_ONCE() in idr_find() on id < 0 is transitional
precaution while moving away from ignoring MSB.  Once it's gone we can
remove the guard as long as timer_t isn't larger than int.

f0dbe81f0e posix-timers: Fix clock_adjtime to always return timex data on success
The clock_adj call returns the clock state on success, which may be a
non-zero value (e.g. TIME_INS), but the modified timex data is copied
back to the user only when zero value (TIME_OK) was returned. Fix the
condition to copy the data also with positive return values.

9984de1a5a kernel: Map most files to use export.h instead of module.h
The changed files were only including linux/module.h for the
EXPORT_SYMBOL infrastructure, and nothing else.  Revector them
onto the isolated export header for faster compile times.

Nothing to see here but a whole lot of instances of:

  -#include <linux/module.h>
  +#include <linux/export.h>

This commit is only changing the kernel dir; next targets
will probably be mm, fs, the arch dirs, etc.

8af088710d posix-timers: RCU conversion
Ben Nagy reported a scalability problem with KVM/QEMU that hit very hard
a single spinlock (idr_lock) in posix-timers code, on its 48 core
machine.

Even on a 16 cpu machine (2x4x2), a single test can show 98% of cpu time
used in ticket_spin_lock, from lock_timer

Ref: http://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg51526.html

Switching to RCU is quite easy, IDR being already RCU ready. idr_lock
should be locked only for an insert/delete, not a lookup.

Benchmark on a 2x4x2 machine, 16 processes calling timer_gettime().

Before :

real    1m18.669s
user    0m1.346s
sys     1m17.180s

After :

real    0m3.296s
user    0m1.366s
sys     0m1.926s

0606f422b4 posix clocks: Introduce dynamic clocks
This patch adds support for adding and removing posix clocks. The
clock lifetime cycle is patterned after usb devices. Each clock is
represented by a standard character device. In addition, the driver
may optionally implement custom character device operations.

The posix clock and timer system calls listed below now work with
dynamic posix clocks, as well as the traditional static clocks.
The following system calls are affected:

   - clock_adjtime (brand new syscall)
   - clock_gettime
   - clock_getres
   - clock_settime
   - timer_create
   - timer_delete
   - timer_gettime
   - timer_settime

[ tglx: Adapted to the posix-timer cleanup. Moved clock_posix_dynamic
  	to posix-clock.c and made all referenced functions static ]

da15cfdae0 time: Introduce CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE
After talking with some application writers who want very fast, but not
fine-grained timestamps, I decided to try to implement new clock_ids
to clock_gettime(): CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE and CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE
which returns the time at the last tick. This is very fast as we don't
have to access any hardware (which can be very painful if you're using
something like the acpi_pm clocksource), and we can even use the vdso
clock_gettime() method to avoid the syscall. The only trade off is you
only get low-res tick grained time resolution.

This isn't a new idea, I know Ingo has a patch in the -rt tree that made
the vsyscall gettimeofday() return coarse grained time when the
vsyscall64 sysctrl was set to 2. However this affects all applications
on a system.

With this method, applications can choose the proper speed/granularity
trade-off for themselves.

3d44cc3e01 Null pointer deref with hrtimer_try_to_cancel()
Impact: Prevent kernel crash with posix timer clockid CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW

commit 2d42244ae7 (clocksource:
introduce CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW) introduced a new clockid, which is only
available to read out the raw not NTP adjusted system time.

The above commit did not prevent that a posix timer can be created
with that clockid. The timer_create() syscall succeeds and initializes
the timer to a non existing hrtimer base. When the timer is deleted
either by timer_delete() or by the exit() cleanup the kernel crashes.

Prevent the creation of timers for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW by setting the
posix clock function to no_timer_create which returns an error code.

899921025b posix-timers: check ->it_signal instead of ->it_pid to validate the timer
Impact: clean up, speed up

->it_pid (was ->it_process) has also a special meaning: if it is NULL,
the timer is under deletion or it wasn't initialized yet. We can check
->it_signal != NULL instead, this way we can

	- simplify sys_timer_create() a bit

	- remove yet another check from lock_timer()

	- move put_pid(->it_pid) into release_posix_timer() which
	  runs outside of ->it_lock

27af4245b6 posix-timers: use "struct pid*" instead of "struct task_struct*"
Impact: restructure, clean up code

k_itimer holds the ref to the ->it_process until sys_timer_delete(). This
allows to pin up to RLIMIT_SIGPENDING dead task_struct's. Change the code
to use "struct pid *" instead.

The patch doesn't kill ->it_process, it places ->it_pid into the union.
->it_process is still used by do_cpu_nanosleep() as before. It would be
trivial to change the nanosleep code as well, but since it uses it_process
in a special way I think it is better to keep this field for grep.

The patch bloats the kernel by 104 bytes and it also adds the new pointer,
->it_signal, to k_itimer. It is used by lock_timer() to verify that the
found timer was not created by another process. It is not clear why do we
use the global database (and thus the global idr_lock) for posix timers.
We still need the signal_struct->posix_timers which contains all useable
timers, perhaps it is better to use some form of per-process array
instead.
