* kernel/watchdog: split up config optionsNicholas Piggin2017-07-121-85/+158
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Split SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR from LOCKUP_DETECTOR, and split HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF from HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR. LOCKUP_DETECTOR implies the general boot, sysctl, and programming interfaces for the lockup detectors. An architecture that wants to use a hard lockup detector must define HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF or HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH. Alternatively an arch can define HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG, which provides the minimum arch_touch_nmi_watchdog, and it otherwise does its own thing and does not implement the LOCKUP_DETECTOR interfaces. sparc is unusual in that it has started to implement some of the interfaces, but not fully yet. It should probably be converted to a full HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH.

* kernel/watchdog: prevent false hardlockup on overloaded systemDon Zickus2017-01-241-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On an overloaded system, it is possible that a change in the watchdog threshold can be delayed long enough to trigger a false positive. This can easily be achieved by having a cpu spinning indefinitely on a task, while another cpu updates watchdog threshold. What happens is while trying to park the watchdog threads, the hrtimers on the other cpus trigger and reprogram themselves with the new slower watchdog threshold. Meanwhile, the nmi watchdog is still programmed with the old faster threshold. Because the one cpu is blocked, it prevents the thread parking on the other cpus from completing, which is needed to shutdown the nmi watchdog and reprogram it correctly. As a result, a false positive from the nmi watchdog is reported. Fix this by setting a park_in_progress flag to block all lockups until the parking is complete. Fix provided by Ulrich Obergfell.

* kernel/watchdog.c: move shared definitions to nmi.hBabu Moger2016-12-141-24/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch series "Clean up watchdog handlers", v2. This is an attempt to cleanup watchdog handlers. Right now, kernel/watchdog.c implements both softlockup and hardlockup detectors. Softlockup code is generic. Hardlockup code is arch specific. Some architectures don't use hardlockup detectors. They use their own watchdog detectors. To make both these combination work, we have numerous #ifdefs in kernel/watchdog.c. We are trying here to make these handlers independent of each other. Also provide an interface for architectures to implement their own handlers. watchdog_nmi_enable and watchdog_nmi_disable will be defined as weak such that architectures can override its definitions. Thanks to Don Zickus for his suggestions. Here are our previous discussions http://www.spinics.net/lists/sparclinux/msg16543.html http://www.spinics.net/lists/sparclinux/msg16441.html This patch (of 3): Move shared macros and definitions to nmi.h so that watchdog.c, new file watchdog_hld.c or any other architecture specific handler can use those definitions.

* kernel/watchdog: use nmi registers snapshot in hardlockup handlerKonstantin Khlebnikov2016-12-141-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | NMI handler doesn't call set_irq_regs(), it's set only by normal IRQ. Thus get_irq_regs() returns NULL or stale registers snapshot with IP/SP pointing to the code interrupted by IRQ which was interrupted by NMI. NULL isn't a problem: in this case watchdog calls dump_stack() and prints full stack trace including NMI. But if we're stuck in IRQ handler then NMI watchlog will print stack trace without IRQ part at all. This patch uses registers snapshot passed into NMI handler as arguments: these registers point exactly to the instruction interrupted by NMI.

These stalls can be extremely difficult to hunt down because the usual warning mechanisms can't detect workqueue stalls and the internal state is pretty opaque. To alleviate the situation, this patch implements workqueue lockup detector. It periodically monitors all worker_pools periodically and, if any pool failed to make forward progress longer than the threshold duration, triggers warning and dumps workqueue state as follows.

| * watchdog: introduce touch_softlockup_watchdog_sched()Tejun Heo2015-12-081-1/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | touch_softlockup_watchdog() is used to tell watchdog that scheduler stall is expected. One group of usage is from paths where the task may not be able to yield for a long time such as performing slow PIO to finicky device and coming out of suspend. The other is to account for scheduler and timer going idle. For scheduler softlockup detection, there's no reason to distinguish the two cases; however, workqueue lockup detector is planned and it can use the same signals from the former group while the latter would spuriously prevent detection. This patch introduces a new function touch_softlockup_watchdog_sched() and convert the latter group to call it instead. For now, it just calls touch_softlockup_watchdog() and there's no functional difference.

* | panic, x86: Allow CPUs to save registers even if looping in NMI contextHidehiro Kawai2015-12-191-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, kdump_nmi_shootdown_cpus(), a subroutine of crash_kexec(), sends an NMI IPI to CPUs which haven't called panic() to stop them, save their register information and do some cleanups for crash dumping. However, if such a CPU is infinitely looping in NMI context, we fail to save its register information into the crash dump. For example, this can happen when unknown NMIs are broadcast to all CPUs as follows: CPU 0 CPU 1 =========================== ========================== receive an unknown NMI unknown_nmi_error() panic() receive an unknown NMI spin_trylock(&panic_lock) unknown_nmi_error() crash_kexec() panic() spin_trylock(&panic_lock) panic_smp_self_stop() infinite loop kdump_nmi_shootdown_cpus() issue NMI IPI -----------> blocked until IRET infinite loop... Here, since CPU 1 is in NMI context, the second NMI from CPU 0 is blocked until CPU 1 executes IRET. However, CPU 1 never executes IRET, so the NMI is not handled and the callback function to save registers is never called. In practice, this can happen on some servers which broadcast NMIs to all CPUs when the NMI button is pushed. To save registers in this case, we need to: a) Return from NMI handler instead of looping infinitely or b) Call the callback function directly from the infinite loop Inherently, a) is risky because NMI is also used to prevent corrupted data from being propagated to devices. So, we chose b). This patch does the following: 1. Move the infinite looping of CPUs which haven't called panic() in NMI context (actually done by panic_smp_self_stop()) outside of panic() to enable us to refer pt_regs. Please note that panic_smp_self_stop() is still used for normal context. 2. Call a callback of kdump_nmi_shootdown_cpus() directly to save registers and do some cleanups after setting waiting_for_crash_ipi which is used for counting down the number of CPUs which handled the callback Signed-off-by: Hidehiro Kawai <hidehiro.kawai.ez@hitachi.com> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Aaron Tomlin <atomlin@redhat.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Cc: Baoquan He <bhe@redhat.com> Cc: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@ezchip.com> Cc: Dave Young <dyoung@redhat.com> Cc: David Hildenbrand <dahi@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Don Zickus <dzickus@redhat.com> Cc: Eric Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Gobinda Charan Maji <gobinda.cemk07@gmail.com> Cc: HATAYAMA Daisuke <d.hatayama@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Hidehiro Kawai <hidehiro.kawai.ez@hitachi.com> Cc: "H.

* kernel/watchdog.c: avoid races between /proc handlers and CPU hotplugUlrich Obergfell2015-11-051-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The handler functions for watchdog parameters in /proc/sys/kernel do not protect themselves against races with CPU hotplug. Hence, theoretically it is possible that a new watchdog thread is started on a hotplugged CPU while a parameter is being modified, and the thread could thus use a parameter value that is 'in transition'. For example, if 'watchdog_thresh' is being set to zero (note: this disables the lockup detectors) the thread would erroneously use the value zero as the sample period. To avoid such races and to keep the /proc handler code consistent, call {get|put}_online_cpus() in proc_watchdog_common() {get|put}_online_cpus() in proc_watchdog_thresh() {get|put}_online_cpus() in proc_watchdog_cpumask() Signed-off-by: Ulrich Obergfell <uobergfe@redhat.com> Acked-by: Don Zickus <dzickus@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Aaron Tomlin <atomlin@redhat.com> Cc: Ulrich Obergfell <uobergfe@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* watchdog: fix error handling in proc_watchdog_thresh()Ulrich Obergfell2015-11-051-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The original watchdog_park_threads() function that was introduced by commit 81a4beef91ba ("watchdog: introduce watchdog_park_threads() and watchdog_unpark_threads()") takes a very simple approach to handle errors returned by kthread_park(): It attempts to roll back all watchdog threads to the unparked state. However, this may be undesired behaviour from the perspective of the caller which may want to handle errors as appropriate in its specific context. Currently, there are two possible call chains: - watchdog suspend/resume interface lockup_detector_suspend watchdog_park_threads - write to parameters in /proc/sys/kernel proc_watchdog_update watchdog_enable_all_cpus update_watchdog_all_cpus watchdog_park_threads Instead of 'blindly' attempting to unpark the watchdog threads if a kthread_park() call fails, the new approach is to disable the lockup detectors in the above call chains. Failure becomes visible to the user as follows: - error messages from lockup_detector_suspend() or watchdog_enable_all_cpus() - the state that can be read from /proc/sys/kernel/watchdog_enabled - the 'write' system call in the latter call chain returns an error I did not experience kthread_park() failures in practice, I used some instrumentation to fake error returns from kthread_park() in order to test the patches. This patch (of 5): Restore the previous value of watchdog_thresh _and_ sample_period if proc_watchdog_update() returns an error. The variables must be consistent to avoid false positives of the lockup detectors.

However, the following commits utilize these functions outside of watchdog thread context too. commit 9809b18fcf6b8d8ec4d3643677345907e6b50eca Author: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Date: Tue Sep 24 15:27:30 2013 -0700 watchdog: update watchdog_thresh properly commit b3738d29323344da3017a91010530cf3a58590fc Author: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Date: Mon Nov 17 20:07:03 2014 +0100 watchdog: Add watchdog enable/disable all functions Hence, it is now possible that these functions execute concurrently with the same 'cpu' argument. This concurrency is problematic because per-cpu 'watchdog_ev' can be accessed/modified without adequate synchronization. The patch series aims to address the above problem. However, instead of introducing locks to protect per-cpu 'watchdog_ev' a different approach is taken: Invoke these functions by parking and unparking the watchdog threads (to ensure they are always called in watchdog thread context). static struct smp_hotplug_thread watchdog_threads = { ... .park = watchdog_disable, // calls watchdog_nmi_disable() .unpark = watchdog_enable, // calls watchdog_nmi_enable() }; Both previously mentioned commits call these functions in a similar way and thus in principle contain some duplicate code. The patch series also avoids this duplication by providing a commonly usable mechanism. - Patch 1/4 introduces the watchdog_{park|unpark}_threads functions that park/unpark all watchdog threads specified in 'watchdog_cpumask'. They are intended to be called inside of kernel/watchdog.c only. - Patch 2/4 introduces the watchdog_{suspend|resume} functions which can be utilized by external callers to deactivate the hard and soft lockup detector temporarily. - Patch 3/4 utilizes watchdog_{park|unpark}_threads to replace some code that was introduced by commit 9809b18fcf6b8d8ec4d3643677345907e6b50eca. - Patch 4/4 utilizes watchdog_{suspend|resume} to replace some code that was introduced by commit b3738d29323344da3017a91010530cf3a58590fc. A few corner cases should be mentioned here for completeness. - kthread_park() of watchdog/N could hang if cpu N is already locked up. However, if watchdog is enabled the lockup will be detected anyway. - kthread_unpark() of watchdog/N could hang if cpu N got locked up after kthread_park(). The occurrence of this scenario should be _very_ rare in practice, in particular because it is not expected that temporary deactivation will happen frequently, and if it happens at all it is expected that the duration of deactivation will be short. This patch (of 4): introduce watchdog_park_threads() and watchdog_unpark_threads() These functions are intended to be used only from inside kernel/watchdog.c to park/unpark all watchdog threads that are specified in watchdog_cpumask.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change the default behavior of watchdog so it only runs on the housekeeping cores when nohz_full is enabled at build and boot time. Allow modifying the set of cores the watchdog is currently running on with a new kernel.watchdog_cpumask sysctl. In the current system, the watchdog subsystem runs a periodic timer that schedules the watchdog kthread to run. However, nohz_full cores are designed to allow userspace application code running on those cores to have 100% access to the CPU. So the watchdog system prevents the nohz_full application code from being able to run the way it wants to, thus the motivation to suppress the watchdog on nohz_full cores, which this patchset provides by default. However, if we disable the watchdog globally, then the housekeeping cores can't benefit from the watchdog functionality. So we allow disabling it only on some cores.

There further appears to be a distinct lack of serialization between setting and using watchdog_enabled, so perhaps we should wrap the {en,dis}able_all() things in watchdog_proc_mutex.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the current user interface of the watchdog mechanism it is only possible to disable or enable both lockup detectors at the same time. This series introduces new kernel parameters and changes the semantics of some existing kernel parameters, so that the hard lockup detector and the soft lockup detector can be disabled or enabled individually. With this series applied, the user interface is as follows. - parameters in /proc/sys/kernel . soft_watchdog This is a new parameter to control and examine the run state of the soft lockup detector. . nmi_watchdog The semantics of this parameter have changed. It can now be used to control and examine the run state of the hard lockup detector. . watchdog This parameter is still available to control the run state of both lockup detectors at the same time. If this parameter is examined, it shows the logical OR of soft_watchdog and nmi_watchdog. . watchdog_thresh The semantics of this parameter are not affected by the patch. - kernel command line parameters . nosoftlockup The semantics of this parameter have changed. It can now be used to disable the soft lockup detector at boot time. . nmi_watchdog=0 or nmi_watchdog=1 Disable or enable the hard lockup detector at boot time. The patch introduces '=1' as a new option. . nowatchdog The semantics of this parameter are not affected by the patch. It is still available to disable both lockup detectors at boot time. Also, remove the proc_dowatchdog() function which is no longer needed.

| * watchdog: implement error handling for failure to set up hardware perf eventsUlrich Obergfell2015-04-141-0/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If watchdog_nmi_enable() fails to set up the hardware perf event of one CPU, the entire hard lockup detector is deemed unreliable. Hence, disable the hard lockup detector and shut down the hardware perf events on all CPUs.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Separate handlers for each watchdog parameter in /proc/sys/kernel replace the proc_dowatchdog() function.

| * watchdog: introduce proc_watchdog_common()Ulrich Obergfell2015-04-141-0/+65
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Three of four handlers for the watchdog parameters in /proc/sys/kernel essentially have to do the same thing. if the parameter is being read { return the state of the corresponding bit(s) in 'watchdog_enabled' } else { set/clear the state of the corresponding bit(s) in 'watchdog_enabled' update the run state of the lockup detector(s) } Hence, introduce a common function that can be called by those handlers. The callers pass a 'bit mask' to this function to indicate which bit(s) should be set/cleared in 'watchdog_enabled'. This function handles an uncommon race with watchdog_nmi_enable() where a concurrent update of 'watchdog_enabled' is possible. We use 'cmpxchg' to detect the concurrency. [This avoids introducing a new spinlock or a mutex to synchronize updates of 'watchdog_enabled'. Using the same lock or mutex in watchdog thread context and in system call context needs to be considered carefully because it can make the code prone to deadlock situations in connection with parking/unparking the watchdog threads.] Signed-off-by: Ulrich Obergfell <uobergfe@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Don Zickus <dzickus@redhat.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This series removes proc_dowatchdog(). Since multiple new functions need the 'watchdog_proc_mutex' to serialize access to the watchdog parameters in /proc/sys/kernel, move the mutex outside of any function.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This series introduces a separate handler for each watchdog parameter in /proc/sys/kernel. The separate handlers need a common function that they can call to update the run state of the lockup detectors, or to have the lockup detectors use a new sample period.

| * watchdog: new definitions and variables, initializationUlrich Obergfell2015-04-141-1/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The hardlockup and softockup had always been tied together. Due to the request of KVM folks, they had a need to have one enabled but not the other. Internally rework the code to split things apart more cleanly. There is a bunch of churn here, but the end result should be code that should be easier to maintain and fix without knowing the internals of what is going on. This patch (of 9): Introduce new definitions and variables to separate the user interface in /proc/sys/kernel from the internal run state of the lockup detectors. The internal run state is represented by two bits in a new variable that is named 'watchdog_enabled'. This helps simplify the code, for example: - In order to check if any of the two lockup detectors is enabled, it is sufficient to check if 'watchdog_enabled' is not zero. - In order to enable/disable one or both lockup detectors, it is sufficient to set/clear one or both bits in 'watchdog_enabled'. - Concurrent updates of 'watchdog_enabled' need not be synchronized via a spinlock or a mutex. Updates can either be atomic or concurrency can be detected by using 'cmpxchg'.
