[PATCH v4 0/9] rtc-cmos,rtc-mc146818-lib: fixes

[Mateusz Jończyk]

Hello,

This patch series fixes some issues in the RTC CMOS handling code:

1. A missing spin_lock_irq() / spin_unlock_irq() pair in cmos_set_alarm().
2. A failing presence check of the RTC: the clock was misdetected as
   broken since Linux 5.11 on one of our home systems.
3. Do not touch the RTC alarm registers when the RTC update is in
   progress. (On some Intel chipsets, this causes bogus values being
   read or writes to fail silently.)

This is my first patch series, so please review carefully.

v2: Drop the last patch:
        Revert "rtc: cmos: Replace spin_lock_irqsave with spin_lock in hard IRQ"
which was made obsolete by mainlining of 
commit 13be2efc390a ("rtc: cmos: Disable irq around direct invocation of cmos_interrupt()")

v3: Rework solution to problem 3 (I'd like to thank Greg KH for comment),
drop x86 refactoring patches (I'll send them later).

v4: Fixed some issues pointed out by Mr Alexandre Belloni:
    - do not add strings to rtc-mc146818-lib.c - I moved the error printing
      code to callers of mc146818_get_time(). This resulted in two new
      patches in the series,
    - other small issues.

I have noticed that mach_get_cmos_time() in arch/x86/kernel/rtc.c
performs a similar function to mc146818_get_time() in
drivers/rtc/rtc-cmos.c . In the future, I'm going to post a new series
that removes this duplicated code and makes mach_get_cmos_time() use
mc146818_get_time(). This will likely include reducing polling interval
in mc146818_avoid_UIP() from 1ms to 100us to make it more similar to
mach_get_cmos_time()'s current behaviour.

Greetings,
Mateusz

[PATCH v4 1/9] rtc-cmos: take rtc_lock while reading from CMOS

[Mateusz Jończyk]

Reading from the CMOS involves writing to the index register and then
reading from the data register. Therefore access to the CMOS has to be
serialized with rtc_lock. This invocation of CMOS_READ was not
serialized, which could cause trouble when other code is accessing CMOS
at the same time.

Use spin_lock_irq() like the rest of the function.

Nothing in kernel modifies the RTC_DM_BINARY bit, so there could be a
separate pair of spin_lock_irq() / spin_unlock_irq() before doing the
math.

[PATCH v4 3/9] Check return value from mc146818_get_time()

[Mateusz Jończyk]

There are 4 users of mc146818_get_time() and none of them was checking
the return value from this function. Change this.

Print the appropriate warnings in callers of mc146818_get_time() instead
of in the function mc146818_get_time() itself, in order not to add
strings to rtc-mc146818-lib.c, which is kind of a library.

The callers of alpha_rtc_read_time() and cmos_read_time() may use the
contents of (struct rtc_time *) even when the functions return a failure
code. Therefore, set the contents of (struct rtc_time *) to 0x00,
which looks more sensible then 0xff and aligns with the (possibly
stale?) comment in cmos_read_time:

	/*
	 * If pm_trace abused the RTC for storage, set the timespec to 0,
	 * which tells the caller that this RTC value is unusable.
	 */

For consistency, do this in mc146818_get_time().

Note: hpet_rtc_interrupt() may call mc146818_get_time() many times a
second. It is very unlikely, though, that the RTC suddenly stops
working and mc146818_get_time() would consistently fail.

Only compile-tested on alpha.

[PATCH v4 4/9] rtc-mc146818-lib: fix RTC presence check

[Mateusz Jończyk]

To prevent an infinite loop in mc146818_get_time(),
commit 211e5db19d15 ("rtc: mc146818: Detect and handle broken RTCs")
added a check for RTC availability. Together with a later fix, it
checked if bit 6 in register 0x0d is cleared.

This, however, caused a false negative on a motherboard with an AMD
SB710 southbridge; according to the specification [1], bit 6 of register
0x0d of this chipset is a scratchbit. This caused a regression in Linux
5.11 - the RTC was determined broken by the kernel and not used by
rtc-cmos.c [3]. This problem was also reported in Fedora [4].

As a better alternative, check whether the UIP ("Update-in-progress")
bit is set for longer then 10ms. If that is the case, then apparently
the RTC is either absent (and all register reads return 0xff) or broken.
Also limit the number of loop iterations in mc146818_get_time() to 10 to
prevent an infinite loop there.

The functions mc146818_get_time() and mc146818_does_rtc_work() will be
refactored later in this patch series, in order to fix a separate
problem with reading / setting the RTC alarm time. This is done so to
avoid a confusion about what is being fixed when.

In a previous approach to this problem, I implemented a check whether
the RTC_HOURS register contains a value <= 24. This, however, sometimes
did not work correctly on my Intel Kaby Lake laptop. According to
Intel's documentation [2], "the time and date RAM locations (0-9) are
disconnected from the external bus" during the update cycle so reading
this register without checking the UIP bit is incorrect.

v2: - tweak commit description,
    - remove "Cc: stable" (I'll send it manually after some regression testing).

v3: - add "EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(mc146818_does_rtc_work)",
    - change return type from mc146818_does_rtc_work to bool.

v4: - drop pr_err_ratelimited() in mc146818_get_time(), callers of this
      function are now required to notify the user,
    - tweak commit description.

[PATCH v4 5/9] rtc-mc146818-lib: extract mc146818_avoid_UIP

[Mateusz Jończyk]

Function mc146818_get_time() contains an elaborate mechanism of reading
the RTC time while no RTC update is in progress. It turns out that
reading the RTC alarm clock also requires avoiding the RTC update.
Therefore, the mechanism in mc146818_get_time() should be reused - so
extract it into a separate function.

The logic in mc146818_avoid_UIP() is same as in mc146818_get_time()
except that after every

        if (CMOS_READ(RTC_FREQ_SELECT) & RTC_UIP) {

there is now "mdelay(1)".

To avoid producing a very unreadable patch, mc146818_get_time() will be
refactored to use mc146818_avoid_UIP() in the next patch.

[PATCH v4 7/9] rtc-mc146818-lib: refactor mc146818_does_rtc_work

[Mateusz Jończyk]

Refactor mc146818_does_rtc_work() so that it uses mc146818_avoid_UIP().
It is enough to call mc146818_avoid_UIP() with no callback.

[PATCH v4 8/9] rtc-cmos: avoid UIP when reading alarm time

[Mateusz Jończyk]

Some Intel chipsets disconnect the time and date RTC registers when the
clock update is in progress: during this time reads may return bogus
values and writes fail silently. This includes the RTC alarm registers.
[1]

cmos_read_alarm() did not take account for that, which caused alarm time
reads to sometimes return bogus values. This can be shown with a test
patch that I am attaching to this patch series.

Fix this, by using mc146818_avoid_UIP().

[DEBUG PATCH v4] rtc-cmos: cmos_read_alarm bug demonstration

[Mateusz Jończyk]

Before my commit "rtc-cmos: avoid UIP when reading alarm time",
applying this patch and reading the CMOS time like so:

        while true; do cat /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/time ; sleep 0.5; done

produces errors in dmesg on my Intel Kaby Lake laptop.
