Global timers could be expired remotely when the target CPU is idle. After
a remote timer expiry, the remote timer_base->next_expiry value is updated
while holding the timer_base->lock. When the formerly idle CPU becomes
active at the same time and checks whether timers need to expire, this
check is done lockless as it is on the local CPU. This could lead to a data
race, which was reported by sysbot:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/000000000000916e55061f969e14@google.com
When the value is read lockless but changed by the remote CPU, only two non
critical scenarios could happen:
1) The already update value is read -> everything is perfect
2) The old value is read -> a superfluous timer soft interrupt is raised
The same situation could happen when enqueueing a new first pinned timer by
a remote CPU also with non critical scenarios:
1) The already update value is read -> everything is perfect
2) The old value is read -> when the CPU is idle, an IPI is executed
nevertheless and when the CPU isn't idle, the updated value will be visible
on the next tick and the timer might be late one jiffie.
As this is very unlikely to happen, the overhead of doing the check under
the lock is a way more effort, than a superfluous timer soft interrupt or a
possible 1 jiffie delay of the timer.
Document and annotate this non critical behavior in the code by using
READ/WRITE_ONCE() pair when accessing timer_base->next_expiry.

This extra jiffie was introduced to ensure that the timeout will not happen

this. So the extra jiffie added by msleep*() is pointless now.

The timerslack_ns setting is used to specify how much the hardware
timers should be delayed, to potentially dispatch multiple timers in a
single interrupt. This is a performance optimization. Timers of
realtime tasks (having a realtime scheduling policy) should not be
delayed.
This logic was inconsitently applied to the hrtimers, leading to delays
of realtime tasks which used timed waits for events (e.g. condition
variables). Due to the downstream override of the slack for rt tasks,
the procfs reported incorrect (non-zero) timerslack_ns values.
This is changed by setting the timer_slack_ns task attribute to 0 for
all tasks with a rt policy. By that, downstream users do not need to
specially handle rt tasks (w.r.t. the slack), and the procfs entry
shows the correct value of "0". Setting non-zero slack values (either
via procfs or PR_SET_TIMERSLACK) on tasks with a rt policy is ignored,
as stated in "man 2 PR_SET_TIMERSLACK":
Timer slack is not applied to threads that are scheduled under a
real-time scheduling policy (see sched_setscheduler(2)).
The special handling of timerslack on rt tasks in downstream users
is removed as well.

Add a test case to validate correct behaviour vs. timer reprogramming and

The handling of queued signals in case of timer reprogramming or deletion
is inconsistent at best.
POSIX does not really specify the behaviour for that:
- "The effect of disarming or resetting a timer with pending expiration
notifications is unspecified."
- "The disposition of pending signals for the deleted timer is
unspecified."
In both cases it is reasonable to expect that pending signals are
discarded. Especially in the reprogramming case it does not make sense to
account for previous overruns or to deliver a signal for a timer which
has been disarmed.
Add tests to validate that no unexpected signals are delivered. They fail

Add a test case to validate correct behaviour vs. SIG_IGN.
The posix specification states:
"Setting a signal action to SIG_IGN for a signal that is pending shall
cause the pending signal to be discarded, whether or not it is blocked."
The kernel implements this in the signal handling code, but due to the way
how posix timers are handling SIG_IGN for periodic timers, the behaviour
after installing a real handler again is inconsistent and suprising.
The following sequence is expected to deliver a signal:
install_handler(SIG);
block_signal(SIG);
timer_create(...); <- Should send SIG
timer_settime(value=100ms, interval=100ms);
sleep(1); <- Timer expires and queues signal, timer is not rearmed
as that should happen in the signal delivery path
ignore_signal(SIG); <- Discards queued signal
install_handler(SIG); <- Restore handler, should rearm but does not
sleep(1);
unblock_signal(SIG); <- Should deliver one signal with overrun count
set in siginfo
This fails because nothing rearms the timer when the signal handler is
restored. Add a test for this case which fails until the signal and posix
timer code is fixed.

This simplifies the min_t() and max_t() macros by no longer making them
work in the context of a C constant expression.
That means that you can no longer use them for static initializers or
for array sizes in type definitions, but there were only a couple of
such uses, and all of them were converted (famous last words) to use
MIN_T/MAX_T instead.

Commit 3a7e02c040 ("minmax: avoid overly complicated constant
expressions in VM code") added the simpler MIN_T/MAX_T macros in order
to avoid some excessive expansion from the rather complicated regular
min/max macros.
The complexity of those macros stems from two issues:
(a) trying to use them in situations that require a C constant
expression (in static initializers and for array sizes)
(b) the type sanity checking
and MIN_T/MAX_T avoids both of these issues.
Now, in the whole (long) discussion about all this, it was pointed out
that the whole type sanity checking is entirely unnecessary for
min_t/max_t which get a fixed type that the comparison is done in.
But that still leaves min_t/max_t unnecessarily complicated due to
worries about the C constant expression case.
However, it turns out that there really aren't very many cases that use
min_t/max_t for this, and we can just force-convert those.
This does exactly that.
Which in turn will then allow for much simpler implementations of
min_t()/max_t(). All the usual "macros in all upper case will evaluate
the arguments multiple times" rules apply.
We should do all the same things for the regular min/max() vs MIN/MAX()
cases, but that has the added complexity of various drivers defining
their own local versions of MIN/MAX, so that needs another level of
fixes first.

After a recent change in clang to stop consuming all instances of '-S'
and '-c' [1], the stack protector scripts break due to the kernel's use
of -Werror=unused-command-line-argument to catch cases where flags are
not being properly consumed by the compiler driver:
$ echo | clang -o - -x c - -S -c -Werror=unused-command-line-argument
clang: error: argument unused during compilation: '-c' [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]
This results in CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR getting disabled because
CONFIG_CC_HAS_SANE_STACKPROTECTOR is no longer set.
'-c' and '-S' both instruct the compiler to stop at different stages of
the pipeline ('-S' after compiling, '-c' after assembling), so having
them present together in the same command makes little sense. In this
case, the test wants to stop before assembling because it is looking at
the textual assembly output of the compiler for either '%fs' or '%gs',
so remove '-c' from the list of arguments to resolve the error.
All versions of GCC continue to work after this change, along with
versions of clang that do or do not contain the change mentioned above.

"This contains two fixes for this merge window:
VFS:
- I noticed that it is possible for a privileged user to mount most
filesystems with a non-initial user namespace in sb->s_user_ns.
When fsopen() is called in a non-init namespace the caller's
namespace is recorded in fs_context->user_ns. If the returned file
descriptor is then passed to a process privileged in init_user_ns,
that process can call fsconfig(fd_fs, FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE*),
creating a new superblock with sb->s_user_ns set to the namespace
of the process which called fsopen().
This is problematic as only filesystems that raise FS_USERNS_MOUNT
are known to be able to support a non-initial s_user_ns. Others may
suffer security issues, on-disk corruption or outright crash the
kernel. Prevent that by restricting such delegation to filesystems
that allow FS_USERNS_MOUNT.
Note, that this delegation requires a privileged process to
actually create the superblock so either the privileged process is
cooperaing or someone must have tricked a privileged process into
operating on a fscontext file descriptor whose origin it doesn't
know (a stupid idea).
The bug dates back to about 5 years afaict.

The initial minimum will be the pinned version we currently have, i.e.
we are just widening the allowed versions. That covers three stable
Rust releases: 1.78.0, 1.79.0, 1.80.0 (getting released tomorrow),
plus beta, plus nightly.
This should already be enough for kernel developers in distributions
that provide recent Rust compiler versions routinely, such as Arch
Linux, Debian Unstable (outside the freeze period), Fedora Linux,
Gentoo Linux (especially the testing channel), Nix (unstable) and
openSUSE Slowroll and Tumbleweed.
In addition, the kernel is now being built-tested by Rust's pre-merge
CI. That is, every change that is attempting to land into the Rust
compiler is tested against the kernel, and it is merged only if it
passes. Similarly, the bindgen tool has agreed to build the kernel in
their CI too.
Thus, with the pre-merge CI in place, both projects hope to avoid
unintentional changes to Rust that break the kernel. This means that,
in general, apart from intentional changes on their side (that we will
need to workaround conditionally on our side), the upcoming Rust
compiler versions should generally work.
In addition, the Rust project has proposed getting the kernel into
stable Rust (at least solving the main blockers) as one of its three
flagship goals for 2024H2 [1].
I would like to thank Niko, Sid, Emilio et al. for their help
promoting the collaboration between Rust and the kernel.
Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Support several Rust toolchain versions.
- Support several bindgen versions.
- Remove 'cargo' requirement and simplify 'rusttest', thanks to
'alloc' having been dropped last cycle.
- Provide proper error reporting for the 'rust-analyzer' target.
'kernel' crate:
- Add 'uaccess' module with a safe userspace pointers abstraction.
- Add 'page' module with a 'struct page' abstraction.
- Support more complex generics in workqueue's 'impl_has_work!'
macro.
'macros' crate:
- Add 'firmware' field support to the 'module!' macro.
- Improve 'module!' macro documentation.
Documentation:
- Provide instructions on what packages should be installed to build
the kernel in some popular Linux distributions.
- Introduce the new kernel.org LLVM+Rust toolchains.
- Explain '#[no_std]'.
And a few other small bits"
