      nmi_watchdog: Config option to enable new nmi_watchdog · 84e478c6
      Don Zickus 提交于
      These are the bits that enable the new nmi_watchdog and safely
      isolate the old nmi_watchdog.  Only one or the other can run,
      not both at the same time.

      debug lockups: Improve lockup detection, fix generic arch fallback · 47cab6a7
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      As Andrew noted, my previous patch ("debug lockups: Improve lockup
      detection") broke/removed SysRq-L support from architecture that do
      not provide a __trigger_all_cpu_backtrace implementation.
      
      Restore a fallback path and clean up the SysRq-L machinery a bit:
      
       - Rename the arch method to arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace()
      
       - Simplify the define
      
       - Document the method a bit - in the hope of more architectures
         adding support for it.
      
      [ The patch touches Sparc code for the rename. ]

      [PATCH] x86: fix laptop bootup hang in init_acpi() · 5d0e600d
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      During kernel bootup, a new T60 laptop (CoreDuo, 32-bit) hangs about
      10%-20% of the time in acpi_init():
      
       Calling initcall 0xc055ce1a: topology_init+0x0/0x2f()
       Calling initcall 0xc055d75e: mtrr_init_finialize+0x0/0x2c()
       Calling initcall 0xc05664f3: param_sysfs_init+0x0/0x175()
       Calling initcall 0xc014cb65: pm_sysrq_init+0x0/0x17()
       Calling initcall 0xc0569f99: init_bio+0x0/0xf4()
       Calling initcall 0xc056b865: genhd_device_init+0x0/0x50()
       Calling initcall 0xc056c4bd: fbmem_init+0x0/0x87()
       Calling initcall 0xc056dd74: acpi_init+0x0/0x1ee()
      
      It's a hard hang that not even an NMI could punch through!  Frustratingly,
      adding printks or function tracing to the ACPI code made the hangs go away
      ...
      
      After some time an additional detail emerged: disabling the NMI watchdog
      made these occasional hangs go away.
      
      So i spent the better part of today trying to debug this and trying out
      various theories when i finally found the likely reason for the hang: if
      acpi_ns_initialize_devices() executes an _INI AML method and an NMI
      happens to hit that AML execution in the wrong moment, the machine would
      hang.  (my theory is that this must be some sort of chipset setup method
      doing stores to chipset mmio registers?)
      
      Unfortunately given the characteristics of the hang it was sheer
      impossible to figure out which of the numerous AML methods is impacted
      by this problem.
      
      As a workaround i wrote an interface to disable chipset-based NMIs while
      executing _INI sections - and indeed this fixed the hang.  I did a
      boot-loop of 100 separate reboots and none hung - while without the patch
      it would hang every 5-10 attempts.  Out of caution i did not touch the
      nmi_watchdog=2 case (it's not related to the chipset anyway and didnt
      hang).
      
      I implemented this for both x86_64 and i686, tested the i686 laptop both
      with nmi_watchdog=1 [which triggered the hangs] and nmi_watchdog=2, and
      tested an Athlon64 box with the 64-bit kernel as well. Everything builds
      and works with the patch applied.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
