* watchdog/softlockup: Enforce that timestamp is valid on bootThomas Gleixner2020-01-171-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Robert reported that during boot the watchdog timestamp is set to 0 for one second which is the indicator for a watchdog reset. The reason for this is that the timestamp is in seconds and the time is taken from sched clock and divided by ~1e9. sched clock starts at 0 which means that for the first second during boot the watchdog timestamp is 0, i.e. reset. Use ULONG_MAX as the reset indicator value so the watchdog works correctly right from the start. ULONG_MAX would only conflict with a real timestamp if the system reaches an uptime of 136 years on 32bit and almost eternity on 64bit.

* watchdog: Respect watchdog cpumask on CPU hotplugThomas Gleixner2019-03-281-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The rework of the watchdog core to use cpu_stop_work broke the watchdog cpumask on CPU hotplug. The watchdog_enable/disable() functions are now called unconditionally from the hotplug callback, i.e. even on CPUs which are not in the watchdog cpumask. As a consequence the watchdog can become unstoppable. Only invoke them when the plugged CPU is in the watchdog cpumask.

* watchdog/core: Add watchdog_thresh command line parameterLaurence Oberman2018-11-011-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The hard and soft lockup detector threshold has a default value of 10 seconds which can only be changed via sysctl. During early boot lockup detection can trigger when noisy debugging emits a large amount of messages to the console, but there is no way to set a larger threshold on the kernel command line. The detector can only be completely disabled. Add a new watchdog_thresh= command line parameter to allow boot time control over the threshold. It works in the same way as the sysctl and affects both the soft and the hard lockup detectors.

* watchdog: Mark watchdog touch functions as notraceVincent Whitchurch2018-08-301-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some architectures need to use stop_machine() to patch functions for ftrace, and the assumption is that the stopped CPUs do not make function calls to traceable functions when they are in the stopped state. Commit ce4f06dcbb5d ("stop_machine: Touch_nmi_watchdog() after MULTI_STOP_PREPARE") added calls to the watchdog touch functions from the stopped CPUs and those functions lack notrace annotations. This leads to crashes when enabling/disabling ftrace on ARM kernels built with the Thumb-2 instruction set. Fix it by adding the necessary notrace annotations.

By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

But the NMI/perf side still uses the old value up to the point where it is disabled. If the rate has been lowered then the NMI can run fast enough to 'detect' a hard lockup because the timer has not fired due to the longer period. The patch 'fixed' this by adding a variable: proc_write() set_sample_period() <----- Broken starts proc_watchdog_update() watchdog_enable_all_cpus() watchdog_hrtimer_fn() update_watchdog_all_cpus() restart_timer(sample_period) watchdog_park_threads() park_in_progress = 1 <----- Broken ends nmi_watchdog() if (park_in_progress) return; The only effect of this variable was to make the window where the breakage can hit small enough that it was not longer observable in testing. From a correctness point of view it is a pointless bandaid which merily papers over the root cause: the unsychronized update of the variable. Looking deeper into the related code pathes unearthed similar problems in the watchdog_start()/stop() functions. watchdog_start() perf_nmi_event_start() hrtimer_start() watchdog_stop() hrtimer_cancel() perf_nmi_event_stop() In both cases the call order is wrong because if the tasks gets preempted or the VM gets scheduled out long enough after the first call, then there is a chance that the next NMI will see a stale hrtimer interrupt count and trigger a false positive hard lockup splat. Get rid of park_in_progress so the code can be gradually deobfuscated and pruned from several layers of duct tape papering over the root cause, which has been either ignored or not understood at all. Once this is removed the underlying problem will be fixed by rewriting the proc interface to do a proper synchronized update. Address the start/stop() ordering problem as well by reverting the call order, so this part is at least correct now.

* watchdog/hardlockup/perf: Prevent CPU hotplug deadlockThomas Gleixner2017-09-141-0/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following deadlock is possible in the watchdog hotplug code: cpus_write_lock() ... takedown_cpu() smpboot_park_threads() smpboot_park_thread() kthread_park() ->park() := watchdog_disable() watchdog_nmi_disable() perf_event_release_kernel(); put_event() _free_event() ->destroy() := hw_perf_event_destroy() x86_release_hardware() release_ds_buffers() get_online_cpus() when a per cpu watchdog perf event is destroyed which drops the last reference to the PMU hardware. The cleanup code there invokes get_online_cpus() which instantly deadlocks because the hotplug percpu rwsem is write locked. To solve this add a deferring mechanism: cpus_write_lock() kthread_park() watchdog_nmi_disable(deferred) perf_event_disable(event); move_event_to_deferred(event); .... cpus_write_unlock() cleaup_deferred_events() perf_event_release_kernel() This is still properly serialized against concurrent hotplug via the cpu_add_remove_lock, which is held by the task which initiated the hotplug event. This is also used to handle event destruction when the watchdog threads are parked via other mechanisms than CPU hotplug.

There is a similar problem with disabling the watchdog via the user space interface as the sysctl function fiddles with watchdog_enable directly. It's very debatable whether this is required at all. If the watchdog works nicely on N CPUs and it fails to enable on the N + 1 CPU either during hotplug or because the user space interface disabled it via sysctl cpumask and then some perf user grabbed the counter which is then unavailable for the watchdog when the sysctl cpumask gets changed back. There is no real justification for this. One of the reasons WHY this is done is the utter stupidity of the init code of the perf NMI watchdog. Instead of checking upfront at boot whether PERF is available and functional at all, it just does this check at run time over and over when user space fiddles with the sysctl. That's broken beyond repair along with the idiotic error code dependent warn level printks and the even more silly printk rate limiting. If the init code checks whether perf works at boot time, then this mess can be more or less avoided completely. Perf does not come magically into life at runtime. Brain usage while coding is overrated. Remove the cruft and add a temporary safe guard which gets removed later.

* kernel/watchdog: Prevent false positives with turbo modesThomas Gleixner2017-08-181-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The hardlockup detector on x86 uses a performance counter based on unhalted CPU cycles and a periodic hrtimer. The hrtimer period is about 2/5 of the performance counter period, so the hrtimer should fire 2-3 times before the performance counter NMI fires. The NMI code checks whether the hrtimer fired since the last invocation. If not, it assumess a hard lockup. The calculation of those periods is based on the nominal CPU frequency. Turbo modes increase the CPU clock frequency and therefore shorten the period of the perf/NMI watchdog. With extreme Turbo-modes (3x nominal frequency) the perf/NMI period is shorter than the hrtimer period which leads to false positives. A simple fix would be to shorten the hrtimer period, but that comes with the side effect of more frequent hrtimer and softlockup thread wakeups, which is not desired. Implement a low pass filter, which checks the perf/NMI period against kernel time. If the perf/NMI fires before 4/5 of the watchdog period has elapsed then the event is ignored and postponed to the next perf/NMI. That solves the problem and avoids the overhead of shorter hrtimer periods and more frequent softlockup thread wakeups.

* 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.
