For people who don't know tracehook.h is a vestiage of an attempt to implement uprobes like functionality that was never fully merged, and was later superseeded by uprobes when uprobes was merged.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace Pull tasklist_lock optimizations from Eric Biederman: "prlimit and getpriority tasklist_lock optimizations The tasklist_lock popped up as a scalability bottleneck on some testing workloads. The readlocks in do_prlimit and set/getpriority are not necessary in all cases. Based on a cycles profile, it looked like ~87% of the time was spent in the kernel, ~42% of which was just trying to get *some* spinlock (queued_spin_lock_slowpath, not necessarily the tasklist_lock). The big offenders (with rough percentages in cycles of the overall trace): - do_wait 11% - setpriority 8% (done previously in commit 7f8ca0edfe07) - kill 8% - do_exit 5% - clone 3% - prlimit64 2% (this patchset) - getrlimit 1% (this patchset) I can't easily test this patchset on the original workload for various reasons. Instead, I used the microbenchmark below to at least verify there was some improvement. This patchset had a 28% speedup (12% from baseline to set/getprio, then another 14% for prlimit). This series used to do the setpriority case, but an almost identical change was merged as commit 7f8ca0edfe07 ("kernel/sys.c: only take tasklist_lock for get/setpriority(PRIO_PGRP)") so that has been dropped from here. One interesting thing is that my libc's getrlimit() was calling prlimit64, so hoisting the read_lock(tasklist_lock) into sys_prlimit64 had no effect - it essentially optimized the older syscalls only.

2022-03-08prlimit: do not grab the tasklist_lockBarret Rhoden
Unnecessarily grabbing the tasklist_lock can be a scalability bottleneck for workloads that also must grab the tasklist_lock for waiting, killing, and cloning. The tasklist_lock was grabbed to protect tsk->sighand from disappearing (becoming NULL). tsk->signal was already protected by holding a reference to tsk. update_rlimit_cpu() assumed tsk->sighand != NULL. With this commit, it attempts to lock_task_sighand(). However, this means that update_rlimit_cpu() can fail. This only happens when a task is exiting. Note that during exec, sighand may *change*, but it will not be NULL. Prior to this commit, the do_prlimit() ensured that update_rlimit_cpu() would not fail by read locking the tasklist_lock and checking tsk->sighand != NULL. If update_rlimit_cpu() fails, there may be other tasks that are not exiting that share tsk->signal. However, the group_leader is the last task to be released, so if we cannot update_rlimit_cpu(group_leader), then the entire process is exiting. The only other caller of update_rlimit_cpu() is selinux_bprm_committing_creds(). It has tsk == current, so update_rlimit_cpu() cannot fail (current->sighand cannot disappear until current exits). This change resulted in a 14% speedup on a microbenchmark where parents kill and wait on their children, and children getpriority, setpriority, and getrlimit.

2022-03-07tick/rcu: Stop allowing RCU_SOFTIRQ in idleFrederic Weisbecker
RCU_SOFTIRQ used to be special in that it could be raised on purpose within the idle path to prevent from stopping the tick. Some code still prevents from unnecessary warnings related to this specific behaviour while entering in dynticks-idle mode. However the nohz layout has changed quite a bit in ten years, and the removal of CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ has been the final straw to this safe-conduct. Now the RCU_SOFTIRQ vector is expected to be raised from sane places. A remaining corner case is admitted though when the vector is invoked in fragile hotplug path.

On some rare cases, the timekeeper CPU may be delaying its jiffies update duty for a while. Known causes include: * The timekeeper is waiting on stop_machine in a MULTI_STOP_DISABLE_IRQ or MULTI_STOP_RUN state. Disabled interrupts prevent from timekeeping updates while waiting for the target CPU to complete its stop_machine() callback. * The timekeeper vcpu has VMEXIT'ed for a long while due to some overload on the host.

2021-12-17timekeeping: Really make sure wall_to_monotonic isn't positiveYu Liao
Even after commit e1d7ba873555 ("time: Always make sure wall_to_monotonic isn't positive") it is still possible to make wall_to_monotonic positive by running the following code: int main(void) { struct timespec time; clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &time); time.tv_nsec = 0; clock_settime(CLOCK_REALTIME, &time); return 0; } The reason is that the second parameter of timespec64_compare(), ts_delta, may be unnormalized because the delta is calculated with an open coded substraction which causes the comparison of tv_sec to yield the wrong result: wall_to_monotonic = { .tv_sec = -10, .tv_nsec = 900000000 } ts_delta = { .tv_sec = -9, .tv_nsec = -900000000 } That makes timespec64_compare() claim that wall_to_monotonic < ts_delta, but actually the result should be wall_to_monotonic > ts_delta. After normalization, the result of timespec64_compare() is correct because the tv_sec comparison is not longer misleading: wall_to_monotonic = { .tv_sec = -10, .tv_nsec = 900000000 } ts_delta = { .tv_sec = -10, .tv_nsec = 100000000 } Use timespec64_sub() to ensure that ts_delta is normalized, which fixes the issue.

2021-12-10timers: implement usleep_idle_range()SeongJae Park
Patch series "mm/damon: Fix fake /proc/loadavg reports", v3. This patchset fixes DAMON's fake load report issue. The first patch makes yet another variant of usleep_range() for this fix, and the second patch fixes the issue of DAMON by making it using the newly introduced function. This patch (of 2): Some kernel threads such as DAMON could need to repeatedly sleep in micro seconds level. Because usleep_range() sleeps in uninterruptible state, however, such threads would make /proc/loadavg reports fake load. To help such cases, this commit implements a variant of usleep_range() called usleep_idle_range(). It is same to usleep_range() but sets the state of the current task as TASK_IDLE while sleeping.

2021-12-02timers/nohz: Last resort update jiffies on nohz_full IRQ entryFrederic Weisbecker
When at least one CPU runs in nohz_full mode, a dedicated timekeeper CPU is guaranteed to stay online and to never stop its tick. Meanwhile on some rare case, the dedicated timekeeper may be running with interrupts disabled for a while, such as in stop_machine. If jiffies stop being updated, a nohz_full CPU may end up endlessly programming the next tick in the past, taking the last jiffies update monotonic timestamp as a stale base, resulting in an tick storm. Here is a scenario where it matters: 0) CPU 0 is the timekeeper and CPU 1 a nohz_full CPU. 1) A stop machine callback is queued to execute somewhere. 2) CPU 0 reaches MULTI_STOP_DISABLE_IRQ while CPU 1 is still in MULTI_STOP_PREPARE. Hence CPU 0 can't do its timekeeping duty. CPU 1 can still take IRQs. 3) CPU 1 receives an IRQ which queues a timer callback one jiffy forward. 4) On IRQ exit, CPU 1 schedules the tick one jiffy forward, taking last_jiffies_update as a base. But last_jiffies_update hasn't been updated for 2 jiffies since the timekeeper has interrupts disabled. 5) clockevents_program_event(), which relies on ktime_get(), observes that the expiration is in the past and therefore programs the min delta event on the clock. 6) The tick fires immediately, goto 3) 7) Tick storm, the nohz_full CPU is drown and takes ages to reach MULTI_STOP_DISABLE_IRQ, which is the only way out of this situation. Solve this with unconditionally updating jiffies if the value is stale on nohz_full IRQ entry. IRQs and other disturbances are expected to be rare enough on nohz_full for the unconditional call to ktime_get() to actually matter. Reported-by: Paul E.

2021-11-30clocksource: Avoid accidental unstable marking of clocksourcesWaiman Long
Since commit db3a34e17433 ("clocksource: Retry clock read if long delays detected") and commit 2e27e793e280 ("clocksource: Reduce clocksource-skew threshold"), it is found that tsc clocksource fallback to hpet can sometimes happen on both Intel and AMD systems especially when they are running stressful benchmarking workloads. Of the 23 systems tested with a v5.14 kernel, 10 of them have switched to hpet clock source during the test run. The result of falling back to hpet is a drastic reduction of performance when running benchmarks. For example, the fio performance tests can drop up to 70% whereas the iperf3 performance can drop up to 80%. 4 hpet fallbacks happened during bootup. They were: [ 8.749399] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU13: hpet read-back delay of 263750ns, attempt 4, marking unstable [ 12.044610] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU19: hpet read-back delay of 186166ns, attempt 4, marking unstable [ 17.336941] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU28: hpet read-back delay of 182291ns, attempt 4, marking unstable [ 17.518565] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU34: hpet read-back delay of 252196ns, attempt 4, marking unstable Other fallbacks happen when the systems were running stressful benchmarks. For example: [ 2685.867873] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU117: hpet read-back delay of 57269ns, attempt 4, marking unstable [46215.471228] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU8: hpet read-back delay of 61460ns, attempt 4, marking unstable Commit 2e27e793e280 ("clocksource: Reduce clocksource-skew threshold"), changed the skew margin from 100us to 50us. I think this is too small and can easily be exceeded when running some stressful workloads on a thermally stressed system. So it is switched back to 100us. Even a maximum skew margin of 100us may be too small in for some systems when booting up especially if those systems are under thermal stress. To eliminate the case that the large skew is due to the system being too busy slowing down the reading of both the watchdog and the clocksource, an extra consecutive read of watchdog clock is being done to check this. The consecutive watchdog read delay is compared against WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW/2. If the delay exceeds the limit, we assume that the system is just too busy. A warning will be printed to the console and the clock skew check is skipped for this round.

2021-11-02posix-cpu-timers: Clear task::posix_cputimers_work in copy_process()Michael Pratt
copy_process currently copies task_struct.posix_cputimers_work as-is. If a timer interrupt arrives while handling clone and before dup_task_struct completes then the child task will have: 1. posix_cputimers_work.scheduled = true 2. posix_cputimers_work.work queued. copy_process clears task_struct.task_works, so (2) will have no effect and posix_cpu_timers_work will never run (not to mention it doesn't make sense for two tasks to share a common linked list). Since posix_cpu_timers_work never runs, posix_cputimers_work.scheduled is never cleared. Since scheduled is set, future timer interrupts will skip scheduling work, with the ultimate result that the task will never receive timer expirations. Together, the complete flow is: 1. Task 1 calls clone(), enters kernel. 2. Timer interrupt fires, schedules task work on Task 1. 2a. task_struct.posix_cputimers_work.scheduled = true 2b. task_struct.posix_cputimers_work.work added to task_struct.task_works. 3. dup_task_struct() copies Task 1 to Task 2. 4. copy_process() clears task_struct.task_works for Task 2. 5. Future timer interrupts on Task 2 see task_struct.posix_cputimers_work.scheduled = true and skip scheduling work. Fix this by explicitly clearing contents of task_struct.posix_cputimers_work in copy_process(). This was never meant to be shared or inherited across tasks in the first place.

2021-09-03memcg: enable accounting for posix_timers_cache slabVasily Averin
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.

2021-08-28clocksource: Make clocksource watchdog test safe for slow-HZ systemsPaul E. McKenney
The clocksource watchdog test sets a local JIFFIES_SHIFT macro and assumes that HZ is >= 100. For smaller HZ values this shift value is too large and causes undefined behaviour. Move the HZ-based definitions of JIFFIES_SHIFT from kernel/time/jiffies.c to kernel/time/tick-internal.h so the clocksource watchdog test can utilize them, which makes it work correctly with all HZ values.

2021-08-12hrtimer: Unbreak hrtimer_force_reprogram()Thomas Gleixner
Since the recent consoliation of reprogramming functions, hrtimer_force_reprogram() is affected by a check whether the new expiry time is past the current expiry time. This breaks the NOHZ logic as that relies on the fact that the tick hrtimer is moved into the future. That means cpu_base->expires_next becomes stale and subsequent reprogramming attempts fail as well until the situation is cleaned up by an hrtimer interrupts. For some yet unknown reason this leads to a complete stall, so for now partially revert the offending commit to a known working state. The root cause for the stall is still investigated and will be fixed in a subsequent commit.

2021-08-10hrtimer: Avoid more SMP function calls in clock_was_set()Thomas Gleixner
By unconditionally updating the offsets there are more indicators whether the SMP function calls on clock_was_set() can be avoided: - When the offset update already happened on the remote CPU then the remote update attempt will yield the same seqeuence number and no IPI is required. - When the remote CPU is currently handling hrtimer_interrupt(). In that case the remote CPU will reevaluate the timer bases before reprogramming anyway, so nothing to do. - After updating it can be checked whether the first expiring timer in the affected clock bases moves before the first expiring (softirq) timer of the CPU. If that's not the case then sending the IPI is not required. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210713135158.887322464@linutronix.de
2021-08-10hrtimer: Avoid unnecessary SMP function calls in clock_was_set()Marcelo Tosatti
Setting of clocks triggers an unconditional SMP function call on all online CPUs to reprogram the clock event device. However, only some clocks have their offsets updated and therefore potentially require a reprogram. That's CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_TAI and in the case of resume (delayed sleep time injection) also CLOCK_BOOTTIME. Instead of sending an IPI unconditionally, check each per CPU hrtimer base whether it has active timers in the affected clock bases which are indicated by the caller in the @bases argument of clock_was_set(). If that's not the case, skip the IPI and update the offsets remotely which ensures that any subsequently armed timers on the affected clocks are evaluated with the correct offsets.

2021-08-10hrtimer: Add bases argument to clock_was_set()Thomas Gleixner
clock_was_set() unconditionaly invokes retrigger_next_event() on all online CPUs. This was necessary because that mechanism was also used for resume from suspend to idle which is not longer the case. The bases arguments allows the callers of clock_was_set() to hand in a mask which tells clock_was_set() which of the hrtimer clock bases are affected by the clock setting. This mask will be used in the next step to check whether a CPU base has timers queued on a clock base affected by the event and avoid the SMP function call if there are none. Add a @bases argument, provide defines for the active bases masking and fixup all callsites.

2021-08-10timekeeping: Distangle resume and clock-was-set eventsThomas Gleixner
Resuming timekeeping is a clock-was-set event and uses the clock-was-set notification mechanism. This is in the way of making the clock-was-set update for hrtimers selective so unnecessary IPIs are avoided when a CPU base does not have timers queued which are affected by the clock setting. Distangle it by invoking hrtimer_resume() on each unfreezing CPU and invoke the new timerfd_resume() function from timekeeping_resume() which is the only place where this is needed. Rename hrtimer_resume() to hrtimer_resume_local() to reflect the change. With this the clock_was_set*() functions are not longer required to IPI all CPUs unconditionally and can get some smarts to avoid them.

With HIGHRES=n the kernel relies on the periodic tick to update the clock offsets, but when NOHZ is enabled and active then CPUs which are in a deep idle sleep do not have a periodic tick which means the expiry of timers affected by clock_was_set() can be arbitrarily delayed up to the point where the CPUs are brought out of idle again.

2021-08-10hrtimer: Avoid double reprogramming in __hrtimer_start_range_ns()Thomas Gleixner
If __hrtimer_start_range_ns() is invoked with an already armed hrtimer then the timer has to be canceled first and then added back. If the timer is the first expiring timer then on removal the clockevent device is reprogrammed to the next expiring timer to avoid that the pending expiry fires needlessly. If the new expiry time ends up to be the first expiry again then the clock event device has to reprogrammed again. Avoid this by checking whether the timer is the first to expire and in that case, keep the timer on the current CPU and delay the reprogramming up to the point where the timer has been enqueued again.

2021-08-10posix-cpu-timers: Recalc next expiration when timer_settime() ends up not ↵Frederic Weisbecker
queueing There are several scenarios that can result in posix_cpu_timer_set() not queueing the timer but still leaving the threadgroup cputime counter running or keeping the tick dependency around for a random amount of time. 1) If timer_settime() is called with a 0 expiration on a timer that is already disabled, the process wide cputime counter will be started and won't ever get a chance to be stopped by stop_process_timer() since no timer is actually armed to be processed. The following snippet is enough to trigger the issue. void trigger_process_counter(void) { timer_t id; struct itimerspec val = { }; timer_create(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID, NULL, &id); timer_settime(id, TIMER_ABSTIME, &val, NULL); timer_delete(id); } 2) If timer_settime() is called with a 0 expiration on a timer that is already armed, the timer is dequeued but not really disarmed. So the process wide cputime counter and the tick dependency may still remain a while around. The following code snippet keeps this overhead around for one week after the timer deletion: void trigger_process_counter(void) { timer_t id; struct itimerspec val = { }; val.it_value.tv_sec = 604800; timer_create(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID, NULL, &id); timer_settime(id, 0, &val, NULL); timer_delete(id); } 3) If the timer was initially deactivated, this call to timer_settime() with an early expiration may have started the process wide cputime counter even though the timer hasn't been queued and armed because it has fired early and inline within posix_cpu_timer_set() itself. As a result the process wide cputime counter may never stop until a new timer is ever armed in the future. The following code snippet can reproduce this: void trigger_process_counter(void) { timer_t id; struct itimerspec val = { }; signal(SIGALRM, SIG_IGN); timer_create(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID, NULL, &id); val.it_value.tv_nsec = 1; timer_settime(id, TIMER_ABSTIME, &val, NULL); } 4) If the timer was initially armed with a former expiration value before this call to timer_settime() and the current call sets an early deadline that has already expired, the timer fires inline within posix_cpu_timer_set(). In this case it must have been dequeued before firing inline with its new expiration value, yet it hasn't been disarmed in this case. So the process wide cputime counter and the tick dependency may still be around for a while even after the timer fired. The following code snippet can reproduce this: void trigger_process_counter(void) { timer_t id; struct itimerspec val = { }; signal(SIGALRM, SIG_IGN); timer_create(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID, NULL, &id); val.it_value.tv_sec = 100; timer_settime(id, TIMER_ABSTIME, &val, NULL); val.it_value.tv_sec = 0; val.it_value.tv_nsec = 1; timer_settime(id, TIMER_ABSTIME, &val, NULL); } Fix all these issues with triggering the related base next expiration recalculation on the next tick. This also implies to re-evaluate the need to keep around the process wide cputime counter and the tick dependency, in a similar fashion to disarm_timer().

2021-08-10posix-cpu-timers: Force next expiration recalc after itimer resetFrederic Weisbecker
When an itimer deactivates a previously armed expiration, it simply doesn't do anything. As a result the process wide cputime counter keeps running and the tick dependency stays set until it reaches the old ghost expiration value. This can be reproduced with the following snippet: void trigger_process_counter(void) { struct itimerval n = {}; n.it_value.tv_sec = 100; setitimer(ITIMER_VIRTUAL, &n, NULL); n.it_value.tv_sec = 0; setitimer(ITIMER_VIRTUAL, &n, NULL); } Fix this with resetting the relevant base expiration.

2021-07-27timers: Move clearing of base::timer_running under base:: LockThomas Gleixner
syzbot reported KCSAN data races vs. timer_base::timer_running being set to NULL without holding base::lock in expire_timers(). This looks innocent and most reads are clearly not problematic, but Frederic identified an issue which is: int data = 0; void timer_func(struct timer_list *t) { data = 1; } CPU 0 CPU 1 ------------------------------ -------------------------- base = lock_timer_base(timer, &flags); raw_spin_unlock(&base->lock); if (base->running_timer != timer) call_timer_fn(timer, fn, baseclk); ret = detach_if_pending(timer, base, true); base->running_timer = NULL; raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&base->lock, flags); raw_spin_lock(&base->lock); x = data; If the timer has previously executed on CPU 1 and then CPU 0 can observe base->running_timer == NULL and returns, assuming the timer has completed, but it's not guaranteed on all architectures. The comment for del_timer_sync() makes that guarantee. Moving the assignment under base->lock prevents this. For non-RT kernel it's performance wise completely irrelevant whether the store happens before or after taking the lock. For an RT kernel moving the store under the lock requires an extra unlock/lock pair in the case that there is a waiter for the timer, but that's not the end of the world.

2021-07-15timers: Fix get_next_timer_interrupt() with no timers pendingNicolas Saenz Julienne
31cd0e119d50 ("timers: Recalculate next timer interrupt only when necessary") subtly altered get_next_timer_interrupt()'s behaviour. The function no longer consistently returns KTIME_MAX with no timers pending. In order to decide if there are any timers pending we check whether the next expiry will happen NEXT_TIMER_MAX_DELTA jiffies from now. Unfortunately, the next expiry time and the timer base clock are no longer updated in unison. The former changes upon certain timer operations (enqueue, expire, detach), whereas the latter keeps track of jiffies as they move forward. Ultimately breaking the logic above. A simplified example: - Upon entering get_next_timer_interrupt() with: jiffies = 1 base->clk = 0; base->next_expiry = NEXT_TIMER_MAX_DELTA; 'base->next_expiry == base->clk + NEXT_TIMER_MAX_DELTA', the function returns KTIME_MAX. - 'base->clk' is updated to the jiffies value. - The next time we enter get_next_timer_interrupt(), taking into account no timer operations happened: base->clk = 1; base->next_expiry = NEXT_TIMER_MAX_DELTA; 'base->next_expiry != base->clk + NEXT_TIMER_MAX_DELTA', the function returns a valid expire time, which is incorrect. This ultimately might unnecessarily rearm sched's timer on nohz_full setups, and add latency to the system[1]. So, introduce 'base->timers_pending'[2], update it every time 'base->next_expiry' changes, and use it in get_next_timer_interrupt(). [1] See tick_nohz_stop_tick(). [2] A quick pahole check on x86_64 and arm64 shows it doesn't make 'struct timer_base' any bigger.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner: "Time and clocksource/clockevent related updates: Core changes: - Infrastructure to support per CPU "broadcast" devices for per CPU clockevent devices which stop in deep idle states. This allows us to utilize the more efficient architected timer on certain ARM SoCs for normal operation instead of permanentely using the slow to access SoC specific clockevent device. - Print the name of the broadcast/wakeup device in /proc/timer_list - Make the clocksource watchdog more robust against delays between reading the current active clocksource and the watchdog clocksource. Such delays can be caused by NMIs, SMIs and vCPU preemption. Handle this by reading the watchdog clocksource twice, i.e. before and after reading the current active clocksource. In case that the two watchdog reads shows an excessive time delta, the read sequence is repeated up to 3 times. - Improve the debug output and add a test module for the watchdog mechanism. - Reimplementation of the venerable time64_to_tm() function with a faster and significantly smaller version. Straight from the source, i.e. the author of the related research paper contributed this! Driver changes: - No new drivers, not even new device tree bindings! - Fixes, improvements and cleanups and all over the place" * tag 'timers-core-2021-06-29' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (30 commits) time/kunit: Add missing MODULE_LICENSE() time: Improve performance of time64_to_tm() clockevents: Use list_move() instead of list_del()/list_add() clocksource: Print deviation in nanoseconds when a clocksource becomes unstable clocksource: Provide kernel module to test clocksource watchdog clocksource: Reduce clocksource-skew threshold clocksource: Limit number of CPUs checked for clock synchronization clocksource: Check per-CPU clock synchronization when marked unstable clocksource: Retry clock read if long delays detected clockevents: Add missing parameter documentation clocksource/drivers/timer-ti-dm: Drop unnecessary restore clocksource/arm_arch_timer: Improve Allwinner A64 timer workaround clocksource/drivers/arm_global_timer: Remove duplicated argument in arm_global_timer clocksource/drivers/arm_global_timer: Make symbol 'gt_clk_rate_change_nb' static arm: zynq: don't disable CONFIG_ARM_GLOBAL_TIMER due to CONFIG_CPU_FREQ anymore clocksource/drivers/arm_global_timer: Implement rate compensation whenever source clock changes clocksource/drivers/ingenic: Rename unreasonable array names clocksource/drivers/timer-ti-dm: Save and restore timer TIOCP_CFG clocksource/drivers/mediatek: Ack and disable interrupts on suspend clocksource/drivers/samsung_pwm: Constify source IO memory ...

2021-06-24time: Improve performance of time64_to_tm()Cassio Neri
The current implementation of time64_to_tm() contains unnecessary loops, branches and look-up tables. The new one uses an arithmetic-based algorithm appeared in [1] and is approximately 3x faster (YMMV). The drawback is that the new code isn't intuitive and contains many 'magic numbers' (not unusual for this type of algorithm). However, [1] justifies all those numbers and, given this function's history, the code is unlikely to need much maintenance, if any at all. Add a KUnit test for it which checks every day in a 160,000 years interval centered at 1970-01-01 against the expected result.
