[PATCH] posix-cpu-timers: prevent signal delivery starvation The integer divisions in the timer accounting code can round the result down to 0. Adding 0 is without effect and the signal delivery stops. Clamp the division result to minimum 1 to avoid this. Problem was reported by Seongbae Park <spark@google.com>, who provided also an inital patch. Roland sayeth: I have had some more time to think about the problem, and to reproduce it using Toyo's test case. For the record, if my understanding of the problem is correct, this happens only in one very particular case. First, the expiry time has to be so soon that in cputime_t units (usually 1s/HZ ticks) it's < nthreads so the division yields zero. Second, it only affects each thread that is so new that its CPU time accumulation is zero so now+0 is still zero and ->it_*_expires winds up staying zero. For the VIRT and PROF clocks when cputime_t is tick granularity (or the SCHED clock on configurations where sched_clock's value only advances on clock ticks), this is not hard to arrange with new threads starting up and blocking before they accumulate a whole tick of CPU time. That's what happens in Toyo's test case. Note that in general it is fine for that division to round down to zero, and set each thread's expiry time to its "now" time. The problem only arises with thread's whose "now" value is still zero, so that now+0 winds up 0 and is interpreted as "not set" instead of ">= now". So it would be a sufficient and more precise fix to just use max(ticks, 1) inside the loop when setting each it_*_expires value. But, it does no harm to round the division up to one and always advance every thread's expiry time. If the thread didn't already fire timers for the expiry time of "now", there is no expectation that it will do so before the next tick anyway. So I followed Thomas's patch in lifting the max out of the loops. This patch also covers the reload cases, which are harder to write a test for (and I didn't try). I've tested it with Toyo's case and it fixes that.

[PATCH] Fix posix-cpu-timers sched_time accumulation I've spent the past 3 days digging into a glibc testsuite failure in current CVS, specifically libc/rt/tst-cputimer1.c The thr1 and thr2 timers fire too early in the second pass of this test. The second pass is noteworthy because it makes use of intervals, whereas the first pass does not. All throughout the posix-cpu-timers.c code, the calculation of the process sched_time sum is implemented roughly as: unsigned long long sum; sum = tsk->signal->sched_time; t = tsk; do { sum += t->sched_time; t = next_thread(t); } while (t != tsk); In fact this is the exact scheme used by check_process_timers(). In the case of check_process_timers(), current->sched_time has just been updated (via scheduler_tick(), which is invoked by update_process_times(), which subsequently invokes run_posix_cpu_timers()) So there is no special processing necessary wrt. that. In other contexts, we have to allot for the fact that tsk->sched_time might be a bit out of date if we are current. And the posix-cpu-timers.c code uses current_sched_time() to deal with that. Unfortunately it does so in an erroneous and inconsistent manner in one spot which is what results in the early timer firing. In cpu_clock_sample_group_locked(), it does this: cpu->sched = p->signal->sched_time; /* Add in each other live thread. */ while ((t = next_thread(t)) != p) { cpu->sched += t->sched_time; } if (p->tgid == current->tgid) { /* * We're sampling ourselves, so include the * cycles not yet banked. We still omit * other threads running on other CPUs, * so the total can always be behind as * much as max(nthreads-1,ncpus) * (NSEC_PER_SEC/HZ). */ cpu->sched += current_sched_time(current); } else { cpu->sched += p->sched_time; } The problem is the "p->tgid == current->tgid" test. If "p" is not current, and the tgids are the same, we will add the process t->sched_time twice into cpu->sched and omit "p"'s sched_time which is very very very wrong. posix-cpu-timers.c has a helper function, sched_ns(p) which takes care of this, so my fix is to use that here instead of this special tgid test. The fact that current can be one of the sub-threads of "p" points out that we could make things a little bit more accurate, perhaps by using sched_ns() on every thread we process in these loops. It also points out that we don't use the most accurate value for threads in the group actively running other cpus (and this is mentioned in the comment). But that is a future enhancement, and this fix here definitely makes sense. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

[PATCH] posix-cpu-timers: prevent signal delivery starvation The integer divisions in the timer accounting code can round the result down to 0. Adding 0 is without effect and the signal delivery stops. Clamp the division result to minimum 1 to avoid this. Problem was reported by Seongbae Park <spark@google.com>, who provided also an inital patch. Roland sayeth: I have had some more time to think about the problem, and to reproduce it using Toyo's test case. For the record, if my understanding of the problem is correct, this happens only in one very particular case. First, the expiry time has to be so soon that in cputime_t units (usually 1s/HZ ticks) it's < nthreads so the division yields zero. Second, it only affects each thread that is so new that its CPU time accumulation is zero so now+0 is still zero and ->it_*_expires winds up staying zero. For the VIRT and PROF clocks when cputime_t is tick granularity (or the SCHED clock on configurations where sched_clock's value only advances on clock ticks), this is not hard to arrange with new threads starting up and blocking before they accumulate a whole tick of CPU time. That's what happens in Toyo's test case. Note that in general it is fine for that division to round down to zero, and set each thread's expiry time to its "now" time. The problem only arises with thread's whose "now" value is still zero, so that now+0 winds up 0 and is interpreted as "not set" instead of ">= now". So it would be a sufficient and more precise fix to just use max(ticks, 1) inside the loop when setting each it_*_expires value. But, it does no harm to round the division up to one and always advance every thread's expiry time. If the thread didn't already fire timers for the expiry time of "now", there is no expectation that it will do so before the next tick anyway. So I followed Thomas's patch in lifting the max out of the loops. This patch also covers the reload cases, which are harder to write a test for (and I didn't try). I've tested it with Toyo's case and it fixes that.

[PATCH] posix-cpu-timers: prevent signal delivery starvation The integer divisions in the timer accounting code can round the result down to 0. Adding 0 is without effect and the signal delivery stops. Clamp the division result to minimum 1 to avoid this. Problem was reported by Seongbae Park <spark@google.com>, who provided also an inital patch. Roland sayeth: I have had some more time to think about the problem, and to reproduce it using Toyo's test case. For the record, if my understanding of the problem is correct, this happens only in one very particular case. First, the expiry time has to be so soon that in cputime_t units (usually 1s/HZ ticks) it's < nthreads so the division yields zero. Second, it only affects each thread that is so new that its CPU time accumulation is zero so now+0 is still zero and ->it_*_expires winds up staying zero. For the VIRT and PROF clocks when cputime_t is tick granularity (or the SCHED clock on configurations where sched_clock's value only advances on clock ticks), this is not hard to arrange with new threads starting up and blocking before they accumulate a whole tick of CPU time. That's what happens in Toyo's test case. Note that in general it is fine for that division to round down to zero, and set each thread's expiry time to its "now" time. The problem only arises with thread's whose "now" value is still zero, so that now+0 winds up 0 and is interpreted as "not set" instead of ">= now". So it would be a sufficient and more precise fix to just use max(ticks, 1) inside the loop when setting each it_*_expires value. But, it does no harm to round the division up to one and always advance every thread's expiry time. If the thread didn't already fire timers for the expiry time of "now", there is no expectation that it will do so before the next tick anyway. So I followed Thomas's patch in lifting the max out of the loops. This patch also covers the reload cases, which are harder to write a test for (and I didn't try). I've tested it with Toyo's case and it fixes that.

Problem was reported by Seongbae Park <spark@google.com>, who provided also an inital patch. Roland sayeth: I have had some more time to think about the problem, and to reproduce it using Toyo's test case. For the record, if my understanding of the problem is correct, this happens only in one very particular case. First, the expiry time has to be so soon that in cputime_t units (usually 1s/HZ ticks) it's < nthreads so the division yields zero. Second, it only affects each thread that is so new that its CPU time accumulation is zero so now+0 is still zero and ->it_*_expires winds up staying zero. For the VIRT and PROF clocks when cputime_t is tick granularity (or the SCHED clock on configurations where sched_clock's value only advances on clock ticks), this is not hard to arrange with new threads starting up and blocking before they accumulate a whole tick of CPU time. That's what happens in Toyo's test case. Note that in general it is fine for that division to round down to zero, and set each thread's expiry time to its "now" time. The problem only arises with thread's whose "now" value is still zero, so that now+0 winds up 0 and is interpreted as "not set" instead of ">= now". So it would be a sufficient and more precise fix to just use max(ticks, 1) inside the loop when setting each it_*_expires value. But, it does no harm to round the division up to one and always advance every thread's expiry time. If the thread didn't already fire timers for the expiry time of "now", there is no expectation that it will do so before the next tick anyway. So I followed Thomas's patch in lifting the max out of the loops. This patch also covers the reload cases, which are harder to write a test for (and I didn't try). I've tested it with Toyo's case and it fixes that.
