From: Andrei Vagin <[email protected]>
Time Namespace isolates clock values.
The kernel provides access to several clocks CLOCK_REALTIME,
CLOCK_MONOTONIC, CLOCK_BOOTTIME, etc.
CLOCK_REALTIME
System-wide clock that measures real (i.e., wall-clock) time.
CLOCK_MONOTONIC
Clock that cannot be set and represents monotonic time since
some unspecified starting point.
CLOCK_BOOTTIME
Identical to CLOCK_MONOTONIC, except it also includes any time
that the system is suspended.
For many users, the time namespace means the ability to changes date and
time in a container (CLOCK_REALTIME).
But in a context of the checkpoint/restore functionality, monotonic and
bootime clocks become interesting. Both clocks are monotonic with
unspecified staring points. These clocks are widely used to measure time
slices and set timers. After restoring or migrating processes, we have to
guarantee that they never go backward. In an ideal case, the behavior of
these clocks should be the same as for a case when a whole system is
suspended. All this means that we need to be able to set CLOCK_MONOTONIC
and CLOCK_BOOTTIME clocks, what can be done by adding per-namespace
offsets for clocks.
A time namespace is similar to a pid namespace in a way how it is
created: unshare(CLONE_NEWTIME) system call creates a new time namespace,
but doesn't set it to the current process. Then all children of
the process will be born in the new time namespace, or a process can
use the setns() system call to join a namespace.
This scheme allows setting clock offsets for a namespace, before any
processes appear in it.
All available clone flags have been used, so CLONE_NEWTIME uses the
highest bit of CSIGNAL. It means that we can use it with the unshare
system call only. Rith now, this works for us, because time namespace
offsets can be set only when a new time namespace is not populated. In a
future, we will have the clone3 system call [1] which will allow to use
the CSIGNAL mask for clone flags.

Shouldn't this be kernel/time/namespace.c so all that stuff is lumped
together. No strong opinion though.

Inconsisten formatting. The above static initializers are nicely
tabular. This on not.

Sure, we can move this in kernel/time. I don't remember why I decided to
place it in kernel/.

I don't think so. All of other members are initialized in clone_time_ns.
Maybe we don't need this helper. When I wrote this code, I looked at
kernel/utsname.c. I will think what we can do here to make this code
more clear.

This one should be initialized in clone_time_ns too.

Because we change nsproxy->time_ns and nsproxy->time_ns_for_children.
Probably, I need to reorgonize the code this way:
get_time_ns(ns);
put_time_ns(nsproxy->time_ns);
nsproxy->time_ns = ns;
get_time_ns(ns);
put_time_ns(nsproxy->time_ns_for_children);
nsproxy->time_ns_for_children = ns;

When we discussed time namespaces last year, we decided that clock
offsets can be set only before any task enters a namespace.
When a namespace is created, ns->initialized is set to false. When a
task enters the namespace, ns->initialized is set to true.
Namespace clock offsets can be changed only if ns->initialized is false.
A new task can be forked to a specified time namespace or it can call
setns, so we set ns->initialized to true in timens_on_fork and
timens_install.

That's better. A few comments about refcounting might be useful as well.

Doesn't this need to take a refcount on fork? Maybe not, but see below.

Right. I'm probably just hopelessly confused by this nsproxy->time_ns
vs. nsproxy->time_ns_for_children->ns thing.

Some comments explaining that logic above would be really helpful.
