* all arches, signal: move restart_block to struct task_structAndy Lutomirski2015-02-121-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting the restart block is a very juicy exploit target. This is because the restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack. Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by making the restart_block harder to locate. Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy targets, at least on some architectures. It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less identical on all architectures.

* alarmtimer: Lock k_itimer during timer callbackRichard Larocque2014-09-121-2/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Locks the k_itimer's it_lock member when handling the alarm timer's expiry callback. The regular posix timers defined in posix-timers.c have this lock held during timout processing because their callbacks are routed through posix_timer_fn(). The alarm timers follow a different path, so they ought to grab the lock somewhere else.

* alarmtimer: Do not signal SIGEV_NONE timersRichard Larocque2014-09-121-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Avoids sending a signal to alarm timers created with sigev_notify set to SIGEV_NONE by checking for that special case in the timeout callback. The regular posix timers avoid sending signals to SIGEV_NONE timers by not scheduling any callbacks for them in the first place. Although it would be possible to do something similar for alarm timers, it's simpler to handle this as a special case in the timeout. Prior to this patch, the alarm timer would ignore the sigev_notify value and try to deliver signals to the process anyway. Even worse, the sanity check for the value of sigev_signo is skipped when SIGEV_NONE was specified, so the signal number could be bogus. If sigev_signo was an unitialized value (as it often would be if SIGEV_NONE is used), then it's hard to predict which signal will be sent.

* alarmtimer: Return relative times in timer_gettimeRichard Larocque2014-09-121-7/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Returns the time remaining for an alarm timer, rather than the time at which it is scheduled to expire. If the timer has already expired or it is not currently scheduled, the it_value's members are set to zero. This new behavior matches that of the other posix-timers and the POSIX specifications. This is a change in user-visible behavior, and may break existing applications. Hopefully, few users rely on the old incorrect behavior.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sharvil noticed with the posix timer_settime interface, using the CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM or CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM clockid, if the users tried to specify a relative time timer, it would incorrectly be treated as absolute regardless of the state of the flags argument.

* alarmtimer: return EINVAL instead of ENOTSUPP if rtcdev doesn't existKOSAKI Motohiro2013-10-181-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fedora Ruby maintainer reported latest Ruby doesn't work on Fedora Rawhide on ARM. (http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9008) Because of, commit 1c6b39ad3f (alarmtimers: Return -ENOTSUPP if no RTC device is present) intruduced to return ENOTSUPP when clock_get{time,res} can't find a RTC device. However this is incorrect. First, ENOTSUPP isn't exported to userland (ENOTSUP or EOPNOTSUP are the closest userland equivlents). Second, Posix and Linux man pages agree that clock_gettime and clock_getres should return EINVAL if clk_id argument is invalid. While the arugment that the clockid is valid, but just not supported on this hardware could be made, this is just a technicality that doesn't help userspace applicaitons, and only complicates error handling. Thus, this patch changes the code to use EINVAL.

* alarmtimer: Use hrtimer per-alarm instead of per-baseJohn Stultz2012-09-241-67/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Arve Hjønnevåg reported numerous crashes from the "BUG_ON(timer->state != HRTIMER_STATE_CALLBACK)" check in __run_hrtimer after it called alarmtimer_fired. It ends up the alarmtimer code was not properly handling possible failures of hrtimer_try_to_cancel, and because these faulres occur when the underlying base hrtimer is being run, this limits the ability to properly handle modifications to any alarmtimers on that base. Because much of the logic duplicates the hrtimer logic, it seems that we might as well have a per-alarmtimer hrtimer, and avoid the extra complextity of trying to multiplex many alarmtimers off of one hrtimer. Thus this patch moves the hrtimer to the alarm structure and simplifies the management logic.

* alarmtimer: Implement minimum alarm interval for allowing suspendTodd Poynor2012-09-241-5/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | alarmtimer suspend return -EBUSY if the next alarm will fire in less than 2 seconds. This allows one RTC seconds tick to occur subsequent to this check before the alarm wakeup time is set, ensuring the wakeup time is still in the future (assuming the RTC does not tick one more second prior to setting the alarm). If suspend is rejected due to an imminent alarm, hold a wakeup source for 2 seconds to process the alarm prior to reattempting suspend. If setting the alarm incurs an -ETIME for an alarm set in the past, or any other problem setting the alarm, abort suspend and hold a wakelock for 1 second while the alarm is allowed to be serviced or other hopefully transient conditions preventing the alarm clear up.

This warning has been removed in a previous patch, however the issue still remains: The original idea was to support alarm timers even if there was no rtc device, as long as the system didn't go into suspend. However, after further consideration, communicating to the application that alarmtimers are not fully functional seems like the better solution. So this patch makes it so we return -ENOTSUPP to any posix _ALARM clockid calls if there is no backing RTC device on the system. Further this changes the behavior where when there is no rtc device we will check for one on clock_getres, clock_gettime, timer_create, and timer_nsleep instead of on suspend.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | alarmtimer_late_init() uses class_find_device() to find a alarm capable rtc device. The match callback stores a pointer to the name in the char pointer handed in from the call site. alarmtimer_late_init() checks the char pointer for NULL, but the pointer is on the stack and not initialized to NULL before the call. So it can have random content when the match function did not identify a device, which leads to random access in the following rtc_open() call where the pointer is dereferenced Instead of relying on the char pointer, check the return value of class_find_device.

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.

* timers: Posix interface for alarm-timersJohn Stultz2011-04-261-0/+330
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).

* timers: Introduce in-kernel alarm-timer interfaceJohn Stultz2011-04-261-0/+375
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.
