hrtimer based and CPU timers have their own way to install the new interval
and to reset overrun and signal handling related data.
Create a helper function and do the same operation for all variants.
This also makes the handling of the interval consistent. It's only stored
when the timer is actually armed, i.e. timer->it_value != 0. Before that it
was stored unconditionally for posix CPU timers and conditionally for the
other posix timers.

Commit c78f261e5dcb ("posix-timers: Clarify posix_timer_fn() comments")
turns an ifdef CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS into an conditional on
"IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_HIGHRES_TIMERS)"; note that the new conditional refers
to "HIGHRES_TIMERS" not "HIGH_RES_TIMERS" as before.
Fix this typo introduced in that refactoring.

posix_timer_add() tries to allocate a posix timer ID by starting from the
cached ID which was stored by the last successful allocation.
This is done in a loop searching the ID space for a free slot one by
one. The loop has to terminate when the search wrapped around to the
starting point.
But that's racy vs. establishing the starting point. That is read out
lockless, which leads to the following problem:
CPU0 CPU1
posix_timer_add()
start = sig->posix_timer_id;
lock(hash_lock);
... posix_timer_add()
if (++sig->posix_timer_id < 0)
start = sig->posix_timer_id;
sig->posix_timer_id = 0;
So CPU1 can observe a negative start value, i.e. -1, and the loop break
never happens because the condition can never be true:
if (sig->posix_timer_id == start)
break;
While this is unlikely to ever turn into an endless loop as the ID space is
huge (INT_MAX), the racy read of the start value caught the attention of
KCSAN and Dmitry unearthed that incorrectness.
Rewrite it so that all id operations are under the hash lock.

itimer_delete() has a retry loop when the timer is concurrently expired. On
non-RT kernels this just spin-waits until the timer callback has completed,
except for posix CPU timers which have HAVE_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK
enabled.
In that case and on RT kernels the existing task could live lock when
preempting the task which does the timer delivery.
Replace spin_unlock() with an invocation of timer_wait_running() to handle
it the same way as the other retry loops in the posix timer code.

For some unknown reason the introduction of the timer_wait_running callback
missed to fixup posix CPU timers, which went unnoticed for almost four years.
Marco reported recently that the WARN_ON() in timer_wait_running()
triggers with a posix CPU timer test case.
Posix CPU timers have two execution models for expiring timers depending on
CONFIG_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK:
1) If not enabled, the expiry happens in hard interrupt context so
spin waiting on the remote CPU is reasonably time bound.
Implement an empty stub function for that case.
2) If enabled, the expiry happens in task work before returning to user
space or guest mode. The expired timers are marked as firing and moved
from the timer queue to a local list head with sighand lock held. Once
the timers are moved, sighand lock is dropped and the expiry happens in
fully preemptible context. That means the expiring task can be scheduled
out, migrated, interrupted etc. So spin waiting on it is more than
suboptimal.
The timer wheel has a timer_wait_running() mechanism for RT, which uses
a per CPU timer-base expiry lock which is held by the expiry code and the
task waiting for the timer function to complete blocks on that lock.
This does not work in the same way for posix CPU timers as there is no
timer base and expiry for process wide timers can run on any task
belonging to that process, but the concept of waiting on an expiry lock
can be used too in a slightly different way:
- Add a mutex to struct posix_cputimers_work. This struct is per task
and used to schedule the expiry task work from the timer interrupt.
- Add a task_struct pointer to struct cpu_timer which is used to store
a the task which runs the expiry. That's filled in when the task
moves the expired timers to the local expiry list. That's not
affecting the size of the k_itimer union as there are bigger union
members already
- Let the task take the expiry mutex around the expiry function
- Let the waiter acquire a task reference with rcu_read_lock() held and
block on the expiry mutex
This avoids spin-waiting on a task which might not even be on a CPU and
works nicely for RT too.

The nanosleep syscalls use the restart_block mechanism, with a quirk:
The `type` and `rmtp`/`compat_rmtp` fields are set up unconditionally on
syscall entry, while the rest of the restart_block is only set up in the
unlikely case that the syscall is actually interrupted by a signal (or
pseudo-signal) that doesn't have a signal handler.
If the restart_block was set up by a previous syscall (futex(...,
FUTEX_WAIT, ...) or poll()) and hasn't been invalidated somehow since then,
this will clobber some of the union fields used by futex_wait_restart() and
do_restart_poll().
If userspace afterwards wrongly calls the restart_syscall syscall,
futex_wait_restart()/do_restart_poll() will read struct fields that have
been clobbered.
This doesn't actually lead to anything particularly interesting because
none of the union fields contain trusted kernel data, and
futex(..., FUTEX_WAIT, ...) and poll() aren't syscalls where it makes much
sense to apply seccomp filters to their arguments.
So the current consequences are just of the "if userspace does bad stuff,
it can damage itself, and that's not a problem" flavor.
But still, it seems like a hazard for future developers, so invalidate the
restart_block when partly setting it up in the nanosleep syscalls.

A program may create multiple interval timers using timer_create(). For
each timer the kernel preallocates a "queued real-time signal",
Consequently, the number of timers is limited by the RLIMIT_SIGPENDING
resource limit. The allocated object is quite small, ~250 bytes, but even
the default signal limits allow to consume up to 100 megabytes per user.
It makes sense to account for them to limit the host's memory consumption
from inside the memcg-limited container.

Wire timer_settime() syscall into time namespace virtualization.
sys_timer_settime() calls the ktime->timer_set() callback. Right now,
common_timer_set() is the only implementation for the callback.
The user-supplied expiry value is converted from timespec64 to ktime and
then timens_ktime_to_host() can be used to convert namespace's time to the
host time.
Inside a time namespace kernel's time differs by a fixed offset from a
user-supplied time, but only absolute values (TIMER_ABSTIME) must be
converted.

- The time in a task's time namespace for sys_clock_gettime()
- The time in the root name space for common_timer_get()
That adds a valid reason to finally implement a separate callback which
returns the time in ktime_t format.

As a preparation ground for introducing clock_get_ktime(), the original
callback clock_get() was renamed into clock_get_timespec().
Reflect the renaming into the callback implementations.

The handling of a priority inversion between timer cancelling and a a not
well defined possible preemption of softirq kthread is not very clear.
Especially in the posix timers side it's unclear why there is a specific RT
wait callback.
All the nice explanations can be found in the initial changelog of
f61eff83cec9 (hrtimer: Prepare support for PREEMPT_RT").
Extract the detailed informations from there and put it into comments.

Posix timer delete retry loops are affected by the same priority inversion
and live lock issues as the other timers.
Provide a RT specific synchronization function which keeps a reference to
the timer by holding rcu read lock to prevent the timer from being freed,
dropping the timer lock and invoking the timer specific wait function via a
new callback.
This does not yet cover posix CPU timers because they need more special
treatment on PREEMPT_RT.
[ This is folded into the original attempt which did not use a callback. ]

Timer deletion on PREEMPT_RT is prone to priority inversion and live
locks. The hrtimer code has a synchronization mechanism for this. Posix CPU
timers will grow one.
But that mechanism cannot be invoked while holding the k_itimer lock
because that can deadlock against the running timer callback. So the lock
must be dropped which allows the timer to be freed.
The timer free can be prevented by taking RCU readlock before dropping the
lock, but because the rcu_head is part of the 'it' union a concurrent free
will overwrite the hrtimer on which the task is trying to synchronize.
Move the rcu_head out of the union to prevent this.

As a preparatory step for adding the PREEMPT RT specific synchronization
mechanism to wait for a running timer callback, rework the timer cancel
retry loops so they call a common function. This allows trivial
substitution in one place.

do_timer_settime() has a 'flags' argument and uses 'flag' for the interrupt
flags, which is confusing at best.
Rename the argument so 'flags' can be used for interrupt flags as usual.

itimer_delete() uses spin_lock_irqsave() to obtain a `flags' variable
which can then be passed to unlock_timer(). It uses already spin_lock
locking for the structure instead of lock_timer() because it has a timer
which can not be removed by others at this point. The cleanup is always
performed with enabled interrupts.
Use spin_lock_irq() / spin_unlock_irq() so the `flags' variable can be
removed.
