* posix_timers: fix racy timer delta caching on task exitFrederic Weisbecker2013-07-031-11/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a task exits, we perform a caching of the remaining cputime delta before expiring of its timers. This is done from the following places: * When the task is reaped. We iterate through its list of posix cpu timers and store the remaining timer delta to the timer struct instead of the absolute value. (See posix_cpu_timers_exit() / posix_cpu_timers_exit_group() ) * When we call posix_cpu_timer_get() or posix_cpu_timer_schedule(). If the timer's task is considered dying when watched from these places, the same conversion from absolute to relative expiry time is performed. Then the given task's reference is released. (See clear_dead_task() ). The relevance of this caching is questionable but this is another and deeper debate. The big issue here is that these two sources of caching don't mix up very well together. More specifically, the caching can easily be done twice, resulting in a wrong delta as it gets spuriously substracted a second time by the elapsed clock. This can happen in the following scenario: 1) The task exits and gets reaped: we call posix_cpu_timers_exit() and the absolute timer expiry values are converted to a relative delta. 2) timer_gettime() -> posix_cpu_timer_get() is called and relies on clear_dead_task() because tsk->exit_state == EXIT_DEAD. The delta gets substracted again by the elapsed clock and we return a wrong result. To fix this, just remove the caching done on task reaping time. It doesn't bring much value on its own. The caching done from posix_cpu_timer_get/schedule is enough. And it would also be hard to get it really right: we could make it put and clear the target task in the timer struct so that readers know if they are dealing with a relative cached of absolute value. But it would be racy. The only safe way to do it would be to lock the itimer->it_lock so that we know nobody reads the cputime expiry value while we modify it and its target task reference. Doing so would involve some funny workarounds to avoid circular lock against the sighand lock. There is just no reason to maintain this. The user visible effect of this patch can be observed by running the following code: it creates a subthread that launches a posix cputimer which expires after 10 seconds. But then the subthread only busy loops for 2 seconds and exits. The parent reaps the subthread and read the timer value. Its expected value should the be the initial timer's expiration value minus the cputime elapsed in the subthread. Roughly 10 - 2 = 8 seconds: #include <sys/time.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <time.h> #include <pthread.h> static timer_t id; static struct itimerspec val = { .it_value.tv_sec = 10, }, new; static void *thread(void *unused) { int err; struct timeval start, end, diff; timer_create(CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID, NULL, &id); if (err < 0) { perror("Can't create timer\n"); return NULL; } /* Arm 10 sec timer */ err = timer_settime(id, 0, &val, NULL); if (err < 0) { perror("Can't set timer\n"); return NULL; } /* Exit after 2 seconds of execution */ gettimeofday(&start, NULL); do { gettimeofday(&end, NULL); timersub(&end, &start, &diff); } while (diff.tv_sec < 2); return NULL; } int main(int argc, char **argv) { pthread_t pthread; int err; err = pthread_create(&pthread, NULL, thread, NULL); if (err) { perror("Can't create thread\n"); return -1; } pthread_join(pthread, NULL); /* Just wait a little bit to make sure the child got reaped */ sleep(1); err = timer_gettime(id, &new); if (err) perror("Can't get timer value\n"); printf("%d %ld\n", new.it_value.tv_sec, new.it_value.tv_nsec); return 0; } Before the patch: $ ./posix_cpu_timers 6 2278074 After the patch: $ ./posix_cpu_timers 8 1158766 Before the patch, the elapsed time got two more seconds spuriously accounted.

* posix-timers: correctly get dying task time sample in posix_cpu_timer_schedule()Frederic Weisbecker2013-07-031-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to re-arm a timer after it fired, we take a sample of the current process or thread cputime. If the task is dying though, we don't arm anything but we cache the remaining timer expiration delta for further reads. Something similar is performed in posix_cpu_timer_get() but here we forget to take the process wide cputime sample before caching it. As a result we are storing random stack content, leading every further reads of that timer to return junk values. Fix this by taking the appropriate sample in the case of process wide timers. This probably doesn't matter much in practice because, at this stage, the thread is the last one in the group and we reached exit_notify(). This implies that we called exit_itimers() and there should be no more timers to handle for that task. So this is likely dead code anyway but let's fix the current logic and the warning that came along: kernel/posix-cpu-timers.c: In function 'posix_cpu_timer_schedule': kernel/posix-cpu-timers.c:1127: warning: 'now' may be used uninitialized in this function Then we can start to think further about cleaning up that code.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The posix cpu timer expiry time is stored in a union of two types: a 64 bits field if we rely on scheduler precise accounting, or a cputime_t if we rely on jiffies.

This also means we can (and must) do away with thread_group_sched_runtime() since the modified thread_group_cputime() is now more accurate and would deadlock when called from thread_group_sched_runtime(). Aside of that it makes the function safe on 32 bit systems. The old code added t->se.sum_exec_runtime unprotected. sum_exec_runtime is a 64bit value and could be changed on another cpu at the same time.

In this case thread_group_cputimer() will set ->running = true again and call thread_group_cputime(). But since we do not hold tasklist or siglock, we can race with fork/exit and copy the wrong results into cputimer->cputime. It is unneeded because if ->running == true we can just use the numbers in cputimer->cputime we already have. Change fastpath_timer_check() to copy cputimer->cputime into the local variable under cputimer->lock. We do not re-check ->running under cputimer->lock, run_posix_cpu_timers() does this check later.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | thread_group_cputime() looks as if it is rcu-safe, but in fact this was wrong until ea6d290c which pins task->signal to task_struct. It checks ->sighand != NULL under rcu, but this can't help if ->signal can go away. Fortunately the caller either holds ->siglock, or it is fastpath_timer_check() which uses current and checks exit_state == 0. - Since ea6d290c commit tsk->signal is stable, we can read it first and avoid the initialization from INIT_CPUTIME. - Even if tsk->signal is always valid, we still have to check it is safe to use next_thread() under rcu_read_lock(). Currently the code checks ->sighand != NULL, change it to use pid_alive() which is commonly used to ensure the task wasn't unhashed before we take rcu_read_lock(). Add the comment to explain this check. - Change the main loop to use the while_each_thread() helper.

* posix-cpu-timers: avoid "task->signal != NULL" checksOleg Nesterov2010-05-271-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Preparation to make task->signal immutable, no functional changes. posix-cpu-timers.c checks task->signal != NULL to ensure this task is alive and didn't pass __exit_signal(). This is correct but we are going to change the lifetime rules for ->signal and never reset this pointer. Change the code to check ->sighand instead, it doesn't matter which pointer we check under tasklist, they both are cleared simultaneously. As Roland pointed out, some of these changes are not strictly needed and probably it makes sense to revert them later, when ->signal will be pinned to task_struct. But this patch tries to ensure the subsequent changes in fork/exit can't make any visible impact on posix cpu timers.

Since we are initializing prof_exp expiration cache during fork(), this allows to remove "RLIMIT_CPU != inf" check from fastpath_timer_check() and do some other cleanups. Checked against regression using test cases from: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123749066504641&w=4 http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123811277916642&w=2 Signed-off-by: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Hidetoshi Seto <seto.hidetoshi@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Balbir Singh <balbir@in.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
* | kernel core: use helpers for rlimitsJiri Slaby2010-03-061-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make sure compiler won't do weird things with limits. E.g. fetching them twice may return 2 different values after writable limits are implemented. I.e. either use rlimit helpers added in commit 3e10e716abf3 ("resource: add helpers for fetching rlimits") or ACCESS_ONCE if not applicable.

* | posix-cpu-timers: cleanup rlimits usageJiri Slaby2010-03-061-15/+17
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fetch rlimit (both hard and soft) values only once and work on them. It removes many accesses through sig structure and makes the code cleaner. Mostly a preparation for writable resource limits support.

| * cputime: Optimize jiffies_to_cputime(1)Stanislaw Gruszka2009-08-031-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For powerpc with CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING jiffies_to_cputime(1) is not compile time constant and run time calculations are quite expensive. To optimize we use precomputed value. For all other architectures is is preprocessor definition.
