Commit: b94f5118 ("kernel/watchdog: prevent false hardlockup on overloaded system") tries to fix the following issue: proc_write() set_sample_period() <--- New sample period becoms visible <----- Broken starts proc_watchdog_update() watchdog_enable_all_cpus() watchdog_hrtimer_fn() update_watchdog_all_cpus() restart_timer(sample_period) watchdog_park_threads() thread->park() disable_nmi() <----- Broken ends The reason why this is broken is that the update of the watchdog threshold becomes immediately effective and visible for the hrtimer function which uses that value to rearm the timer. 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.

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.

The self disabling feature is broken vs. CPU hotplug locking: CPU 0 CPU 1 cpus_write_lock(); cpu_up(1) wait_for_completion() .... unpark_watchdog() ->unpark() perf_event_create() <- fails watchdog_enable &= ~NMI_WATCHDOG; .... cpus_write_unlock(); CPU 2 cpus_write_lock() cpu_down(2) wait_for_completion() wakeup(watchdog); watchdog() if (!(watchdog_enable & NMI_WATCHDOG)) watchdog_nmi_disable() perf_event_disable() .... cpus_read_lock(); stop_smpboot_threads() park_watchdog(); wait_for_completion(watchdog->parked); Result: End of hotplug and instantaneous full lockup of the machine. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The NMI watchdog uses either the fixed cycles or a generic cycles counter. This causes a lot of conflicts with users of the PMU who want to run a full group including the cycles fixed counter, for example the --topdown support recently added to perf stat. The code needs to fall back to not use groups, which can cause measurement inaccuracy due to multiplexing errors. This patch switches the NMI watchdog to use reference cycles on Intel systems. This is actually more accurate than cycles, because cycles can tick faster than the measured CPU Frequency due to Turbo mode. The ref cycles always tick at their frequency, or slower when the system is idling. That means the NMI watchdog can never expire too early, unlike with cycles. The reference cycles tick roughly at the frequency of the TSC, so the same period computation can be used.

While working on a script to restore all sysctl params before a series of tests I found that writing any value into the /proc/sys/kernel/{nmi_watchdog,soft_watchdog,watchdog,watchdog_thresh} causes them to call proc_watchdog_update().

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: NHidehiro Kawai <hidehiro.kawai.ez@hitachi.com> Acked-by: NMichal 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.

If panic on NMI happens just after panic() on the same CPU, panic() is recursively called. Kernel stalls, as a result, after failing to acquire panic_lock. To avoid this problem, don't call panic() in NMI context if we've already entered panic(). For that, introduce nmi_panic() macro to reduce code duplication. In the case of panic on NMI, don't return from NMI handlers if another CPU already panicked.

Workqueue stalls can happen from a variety of usage bugs such as missing WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag or concurrency managed work item indefinitely staying RUNNING. 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. BUG: workqueue lockup - pool cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 stuck for 31s!

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.

Theoretically it is possible that the watchdog timer expires right at the time when a user sets 'watchdog_thresh' to zero (note: this disables the lockup detectors). In this scenario, the is_softlockup() function - which is called by the timer - could produce a false positive. Fix this by checking the current value of 'watchdog_thresh'.

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: NUlrich Obergfell <uobergfe@redhat.com> Acked-by: NDon Zickus <dzickus@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: NAaron Tomlin <atomlin@redhat.com> Cc: Ulrich Obergfell <uobergfe@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

In many cases of hardlockup reports, it's actually not possible to know why it triggered, because the CPU that got stuck is usually waiting on a resource (with IRQs disabled) in posession of some other CPU is holding. IOW, we are often looking at the stacktrace of the victim and not the actual offender.

The original watchdog_park_threads() function that was introduced by commit 81a4beef ("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.
