      x86/panic: replace smp_send_stop() with kdump friendly version in panic path · 0ee59413
      Hidehiro Kawai 提交于
      Daniel Walker reported problems which happens when
      crash_kexec_post_notifiers kernel option is enabled
      (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/6/24/44).
      
      In that case, smp_send_stop() is called before entering kdump routines
      which assume other CPUs are still online.  As the result, for x86, kdump
      routines fail to save other CPUs' registers and disable virtualization
      extensions.
      
      To fix this problem, call a new kdump friendly function,
      crash_smp_send_stop(), instead of the smp_send_stop() when
      crash_kexec_post_notifiers is enabled.  crash_smp_send_stop() is a weak
      function, and it just call smp_send_stop().  Architecture codes should
      override it so that kdump can work appropriately.  This patch only
      provides x86-specific version.
      
      For Xen's PV kernel, just keep the current behavior.
      
      NOTES:
      
      - Right solution would be to place crash_smp_send_stop() before
        __crash_kexec() invocation in all cases and remove smp_send_stop(), but
        we can't do that until all architectures implement own
        crash_smp_send_stop()
      
      - crash_smp_send_stop()-like work is still needed by
        machine_crash_shutdown() because crash_kexec() can be called without
        entering panic()

      printk/nmi: flush NMI messages on the system panic · cf9b1106
      Petr Mladek 提交于
      In NMI context, printk() messages are stored into per-CPU buffers to
      avoid a possible deadlock.  They are normally flushed to the main ring
      buffer via an IRQ work.  But the work is never called when the system
      calls panic() in the very same NMI handler.
      
      This patch tries to flush NMI buffers before the crash dump is
      generated.  In this case it does not risk a double release and bails out
      when the logbuf_lock is already taken.  The aim is to get the messages
      into the main ring buffer when possible.  It makes them better
      accessible in the vmcore.
      
      Then the patch tries to flush the buffers second time when other CPUs
      are down.  It might be more aggressive and reset logbuf_lock.  The aim
      is to get the messages available for the consequent kmsg_dump() and
      console_flush_on_panic() calls.
      
      The patch causes vprintk_emit() to be called even in NMI context again.
      But it is done via printk_deferred() so that the console handling is
      skipped.  Consoles use internal locks and we could not prevent a
      deadlock easily.  They are explicitly called later when the crash dump
      is not generated, see console_flush_on_panic().

      panic: change nmi_panic from macro to function · ebc41f20
      Hidehiro Kawai 提交于
      Commit 1717f209 ("panic, x86: Fix re-entrance problem due to panic
      on NMI") and commit 58c5661f ("panic, x86: Allow CPUs to save
      registers even if looping in NMI context") introduced nmi_panic() which
      prevents concurrent/recursive execution of panic().  It also saves
      registers for the crash dump on x86.
      
      However, there are some cases where NMI handlers still use panic().
      This patch set partially replaces them with nmi_panic() in those cases.
      
      Even this patchset is applied, some NMI or similar handlers (e.g.  MCE
      handler) continue to use panic().  This is because I can't test them
      well and actual problems won't happen.  For example, the possibility
      that normal panic and panic on MCE happen simultaneously is very low.
      
      This patch (of 3):
      
      Convert nmi_panic() to a proper function and export it instead of
      exporting internal implementation details to modules, for obvious
      reasons.

      printk: do cond_resched() between lines while outputting to consoles · 8d91f8b1
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      @console_may_schedule tracks whether console_sem was acquired through
      lock or trylock.  If the former, we're inside a sleepable context and
      console_conditional_schedule() performs cond_resched().  This allows
      console drivers which use console_lock for synchronization to yield
      while performing time-consuming operations such as scrolling.
      
      However, the actual console outputting is performed while holding
      irq-safe logbuf_lock, so console_unlock() clears @console_may_schedule
      before starting outputting lines.  Also, only a few drivers call
      console_conditional_schedule() to begin with.  This means that when a
      lot of lines need to be output by console_unlock(), for example on a
      console registration, the task doing console_unlock() may not yield for
      a long time on a non-preemptible kernel.
      
      If this happens with a slow console devices, for example a serial
      console, the outputting task may occupy the cpu for a very long time.
      Long enough to trigger softlockup and/or RCU stall warnings, which in
      turn pile more messages, sometimes enough to trigger the next cycle of
      warnings incapacitating the system.
      
      Fix it by making console_unlock() insert cond_resched() between lines if
      @console_may_schedule.

      kexec: Fix race between panic() and crash_kexec() · 7bbee5ca
      Hidehiro Kawai 提交于
      Currently, panic() and crash_kexec() can be called at the same time.
      For example (x86 case):
      
      CPU 0:
        oops_end()
          crash_kexec()
            mutex_trylock() // acquired
              nmi_shootdown_cpus() // stop other CPUs
      
      CPU 1:
        panic()
          crash_kexec()
            mutex_trylock() // failed to acquire
          smp_send_stop() // stop other CPUs
          infinite loop
      
      If CPU 1 calls smp_send_stop() before nmi_shootdown_cpus(), kdump
      fails.
      
      In another case:
      
      CPU 0:
        oops_end()
          crash_kexec()
            mutex_trylock() // acquired
              <NMI>
              io_check_error()
                panic()
                  crash_kexec()
                    mutex_trylock() // failed to acquire
                  infinite loop
      
      Clearly, this is an undesirable result.
      
      To fix this problem, this patch changes crash_kexec() to exclude others
      by using the panic_cpu atomic.

      panic, x86: Allow CPUs to save registers even if looping in NMI context · 58c5661f
      Hidehiro Kawai 提交于
      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

      panic, x86: Fix re-entrance problem due to panic on NMI · 1717f209
      Hidehiro Kawai 提交于
      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.

      panic: release stale console lock to always get the logbuf printed out · 08d78658
      Vitaly Kuznetsov 提交于
      In some cases we may end up killing the CPU holding the console lock
      while still having valuable data in logbuf. E.g. I'm observing the
      following:
      
      - A crash is happening on one CPU and console_unlock() is being called on
        some other.
      
      - console_unlock() tries to print out the buffer before releasing the lock
        and on slow console it takes time.
      
      - in the meanwhile crashing CPU does lots of printk()-s with valuable data
        (which go to the logbuf) and sends IPIs to all other CPUs.
      
      - console_unlock() finishes printing previous chunk and enables interrupts
        before trying to print out the rest, the CPU catches the IPI and never
        releases console lock.
      
      This is not the only possible case: in VT/fb subsystems we have many other
      console_lock()/console_unlock() users.  Non-masked interrupts (or
      receiving NMI in case of extreme slowness) will have the same result.
      Getting the whole console buffer printed out on crash should be top
      priority.

      kernel: add panic_on_warn · 9e3961a0
      Prarit Bhargava 提交于
      There have been several times where I have had to rebuild a kernel to
      cause a panic when hitting a WARN() in the code in order to get a crash
      dump from a system.  Sometimes this is easy to do, other times (such as
      in the case of a remote admin) it is not trivial to send new images to
      the user.
      
      A much easier method would be a switch to change the WARN() over to a
      panic.  This makes debugging easier in that I can now test the actual
      image the WARN() was seen on and I do not have to engage in remote
      debugging.
      
      This patch adds a panic_on_warn kernel parameter and
      /proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_warn calls panic() in the
      warn_slowpath_common() path.  The function will still print out the
      location of the warning.
      
      An example of the panic_on_warn output:
      
      The first line below is from the WARN_ON() to output the WARN_ON()'s
      location.  After that the panic() output is displayed.

      Fix: module signature vs tracepoints: add new TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE · 66cc69e3
      Mathieu Desnoyers 提交于
      Users have reported being unable to trace non-signed modules loaded
      within a kernel supporting module signature.
      
      This is caused by tracepoint.c:tracepoint_module_coming() refusing to
      take into account tracepoints sitting within force-loaded modules
      (TAINT_FORCED_MODULE). The reason for this check, in the first place, is
      that a force-loaded module may have a struct module incompatible with
      the layout expected by the kernel, and can thus cause a kernel crash
      upon forced load of that module on a kernel with CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS=y.
      
      Tracepoints, however, specifically accept TAINT_OOT_MODULE and
      TAINT_CRAP, since those modules do not lead to the "very likely system
      crash" issue cited above for force-loaded modules.
      
      With kernels having CONFIG_MODULE_SIG=y (signed modules), a non-signed
      module is tainted re-using the TAINT_FORCED_MODULE taint flag.
      Unfortunately, this means that Tracepoints treat that module as a
      force-loaded module, and thus silently refuse to consider any tracepoint
      within this module.
      
      Since an unsigned module does not fit within the "very likely system
      crash" category of tainting, add a new TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE taint flag
      to specifically address this taint behavior, and accept those modules
      within Tracepoints. We use the letter 'X' as a taint flag character for
      a module being loaded that doesn't know how to sign its name (proposed
      by Steven Rostedt).
      
      Also add the missing 'O' entry to trace event show_module_flags() list
      for the sake of completeness.

      panic: Make panic_timeout configurable · 5800dc3c
      Jason Baron 提交于
      The panic_timeout value can be set via the command line option
      'panic=x', or via /proc/sys/kernel/panic, however that is not
      sufficient when the panic occurs before we are able to set up
      these values. Thus, add a CONFIG_PANIC_TIMEOUT so that we can
      set the desired value from the .config.
      
      The default panic_timeout value continues to be 0 - wait
      forever. Also adds set_arch_panic_timeout(new_timeout,
      arch_default_timeout), which is intended to be used by arches in
      arch_setup(). The idea being that the new_timeout is only set if
      the user hasn't changed from the arch_default_timeout.

      tracing: Disable tracing on warning · de7edd31
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 提交于
      Add a traceoff_on_warning option in both the kernel command line as well
      as a sysctl option. When set, any WARN*() function that is hit will cause
      the tracing_on variable to be cleared, which disables writing to the
      ring buffer.
      
      This is useful especially when tracing a bug with function tracing. When
      a warning is hit, the print caused by the warning can flood the trace with
      the functions that producing the output for the warning. This can make the
      resulting trace useless by either hiding where the bug happened, or worse,
      by overflowing the buffer and losing the trace of the bug totally.

      dump_stack: implement arch-specific hardware description in task dumps · 98e5e1bf
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      x86 and ia64 can acquire extra hardware identification information
      from DMI and print it along with task dumps; however, the usage isn't
      consistent.
      
      * x86 show_regs() collects vendor, product and board strings and print
        them out with PID, comm and utsname.  Some of the information is
        printed again later in the same dump.
      
      * warn_slowpath_common() explicitly accesses the DMI board and prints
        it out with "Hardware name:" label.  This applies to both x86 and
        ia64 but is irrelevant on all other archs.
      
      * ia64 doesn't show DMI information on other non-WARN dumps.
      
      This patch introduces arch-specific hardware description used by
      dump_stack().  It can be set by calling dump_stack_set_arch_desc()
      during boot and, if exists, printed out in a separate line with
      "Hardware name:" label.
      
      dmi_set_dump_stack_arch_desc() is added which sets arch-specific
      description from DMI data.  It uses dmi_ids_string[] which is set from
      dmi_present() used for DMI debug message.  It is superset of the
      information x86 show_regs() is using.  The function is called from x86
      and ia64 boot code right after dmi_scan_machine().
      
      This makes the explicit DMI handling in warn_slowpath_common()
      unnecessary.  Removed.
      
      show_regs() isn't yet converted to use generic debug information
      printing and this patch doesn't remove the duplicate DMI handling in
      x86 show_regs().  The next patch will unify show_regs() handling and
      remove the duplication.
      
      An example WARN dump follows.

      panic: fix a possible deadlock in panic() · 190320c3
      Vikram Mulukutla 提交于
      panic_lock is meant to ensure that panic processing takes place only on
      one cpu; if any of the other cpus encounter a panic, they will spin
      waiting to be shut down.
      
      However, this causes a regression in this scenario:
      
      1. Cpu 0 encounters a panic and acquires the panic_lock
         and proceeds with the panic processing.
      2. There is an interrupt on cpu 0 that also encounters
         an error condition and invokes panic.
      3. This second invocation fails to acquire the panic_lock
         and enters the infinite while loop in panic_smp_self_stop.
      
      Thus all panic processing is stopped, and the cpu is stuck for eternity
      in the while(1) inside panic_smp_self_stop.
      
      To address this, disable local interrupts with local_irq_disable before
      acquiring the panic_lock.  This will prevent interrupt handlers from
      executing during the panic processing, thus avoiding this particular
      problem.

      panic: fix stack dump print on direct call to panic() · 026ee1f6
      Jason Wessel 提交于
      Commit 6e6f0a1f ("panic: don't print redundant backtraces on oops")
      causes a regression where no stack trace will be printed at all for the
      case where kernel code calls panic() directly while not processing an
      oops, and of course there are 100's of instances of this type of call.
      
      The original commit executed the check (!oops_in_progress), but this will
      always be false because just before the dump_stack() there is a call to
      bust_spinlocks(1), which does the following:
      
        void __attribute__((weak)) bust_spinlocks(int yes)
        {
      	if (yes) {
      		++oops_in_progress;
      
      The proper way to resolve the problem that original commit tried to
      solve is to avoid printing a stack dump from panic() when the either of
      the following conditions is true:
      
        1) TAINT_DIE has been set (this is done by oops_end())
           This indicates and oops has already been printed.
        2) oops_in_progress > 1
           This guards against the rare case where panic() is invoked
           a second time, or in between oops_begin() and oops_end()

      We do want to allow lock debugging for GPL-compatible modules

      side-effect of commit 2449b8ba
      ('module,bug: Add TAINT_OOT_MODULE flag for modules not built
      in-tree').  Lock debug warnings now include taint flags, so
      kernel developers should still be able to deflect warnings
      caused by out-of-tree modules.
      
      The TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE flag for non-GPL-compatible modules
      will still disable lock debugging.
