commit c2f5813ae0a68f6c6d69e66dac2da6e46b9df034
Author: Joseph Myers <joseph@codesourcery.com>

Make sem_timedwait use FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME (bug 18138).
sem_timedwait converts absolute timeouts to relative to pass them to
the futex syscall. (Before the recent reimplementation, on x86_64 it
used FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME, but not on other architectures.)
Correctly implementing POSIX requirements, however, requires use of
FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME; passing a relative timeout to the kernel does
not conform to POSIX. The POSIX specification for sem_timedwait says
"The timeout shall be based on the CLOCK_REALTIME clock.". The POSIX
specification for clock_settime says "If the value of the
CLOCK_REALTIME clock is set via clock_settime(), the new value of the
clock shall be used to determine the time of expiration for absolute
time services based upon the CLOCK_REALTIME clock. This applies to the
time at which armed absolute timers expire. If the absolute time
requested at the invocation of such a time service is before the new
value of the clock, the time service shall expire immediately as if
the clock had reached the requested time normally.". If a relative
timeout is passed to the kernel, it is interpreted according to the
CLOCK_MONOTONIC clock, and so fails to meet that POSIX requirement in
the event of clock changes.
This patch makes sem_timedwait use lll_futex_timed_wait_bitset with
FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME when possible, as done in some other places in
NPTL. FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME is always available for supported Linux
kernel versions; unavailability of lll_futex_timed_wait_bitset is only
an issue for hppa (an issue noted in
<https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/PortStatus>, and fixed by the
unreviewed
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-12/msg00655.html> that
removes the hppa lowlevellock.h completely).
In the FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME case, the glibc code still needs to check
for negative tv_sec and handle that as timeout, because the Linux
kernel returns EINVAL not ETIMEDOUT for that case, so resulting in
failures of nptl/tst-abstime and nptl/tst-sem13 in the absence of that
check. If we're trying to distinguish between Linux-specific and
generic-futex NPTL code, I suppose having this in an nptl/ file isn't
ideal, but there doesn't seem to be any better place at present.
It's not possible to add a testcase for this issue to the testsuite
because of the requirement to change the system clock as part of a
test (this is a case where testing would require some form of
container, with root in that container, and one whose CLOCK_REALTIME
is isolated from that of the host; I'm not sure what forms of
containers, short of a full virtual machine, provide that clock
isolation).
Tested for x86_64. Also tested for powerpc with the testcase included
in the bug.
[BZ #18138]
* nptl/sem_waitcommon.c: Include <kernel-features.h>.
(futex_abstimed_wait)
[__ASSUME_FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME && lll_futex_timed_wait_bitset]:
Use lll_futex_timed_wait_bitset with FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME instead
of lll_futex_timed_wait.
