tick/nohz: Fix softlockup on scheduler stalls in kvm guest
tick_nohz_start_idle() is prevented to be called if the idle tick can't be stopped since commit 1f3b0f8243cb934 ("tick/nohz: Optimize nohz idle enter"). As a result, after suspend/resume the host machine, full dynticks kvm guest will softlockup: NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 26s! [swapper/0:0] Call Trace: default_idle+0x31/0x1a0 arch_cpu_idle+0xf/0x20 default_idle_call+0x2a/0x50 cpu_startup_entry+0x39b/0x4d0 rest_init+0x138/0x140 ? rest_init+0x5/0x140 start_kernel+0x4c1/0x4ce ? set_init_arg+0x55/0x55 ? early_idt_handler_array+0x120/0x120 x86_64_start_reservations+0x24/0x26 x86_64_start_kernel+0x142/0x14f In addition, cat /proc/stat | grep cpu in guest or host: cpu 398 16 5049 15754 5490 0 1 46 0 0 cpu0 206 5 450 0 0 0 1 14 0 0 cpu1 81 0 3937 3149 1514 0 0 9 0 0 cpu2 45 6 332 6052 2243 0 0 11 0 0 cpu3 65 2 328 6552 1732 0 0 11 0 0 The idle and iowait states are weird 0 for cpu0(housekeeping). The bug is present in both guest and host kernels, and they both have cpu0's idle and iowait states issue, however, host kernel's suspend/resume path etc will touch watchdog to avoid the softlockup. - The watchdog will not be touched in tick_nohz_stop_idle path (need be touched since the scheduler stall is expected) if idle_active flags are not detected. - The idle and iowait states will not be accounted when exit idle loop (resched or interrupt) if idle start time and idle_active flags are not set. This patch fixes it by reverting commit 1f3b0f8243cb934 since can't stop idle tick doesn't mean can't be idle.
