      watchdog: new definitions and variables, initialization · 84d56e66
      由 Ulrich Obergfell 提交于 
      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'.

      kernel/sched/clock.c: add another clock for use with the soft lockup watchdog · 545a2bf7
      由 Cyril Bur 提交于 
      When the hypervisor pauses a virtualised kernel the kernel will observe a
jump in timebase, this can cause spurious messages from the softlockup
detector.

Whilst these messages are harmless, they are accompanied with a stack
trace which causes undue concern and more problematically the stack trace
in the guest has nothing to do with the observed problem and can only be
misleading.

Futhermore, on POWER8 this is completely avoidable with the introduction
of the Virtual Time Base (VTB) register.

This patch (of 2):

This permits the use of arch specific clocks for which virtualised kernels
can use their notion of 'running' time, not the elpased wall time which
will include host execution time.

      kernel/watchdog.c: control hard lockup detection default · 6e7458a6
      由 Ulrich Obergfell 提交于 
      In some cases we don't want hard lockup detection enabled by default.
An example is when running as a guest.  Introduce

  watchdog_enable_hardlockup_detector(bool)

allowing those cases to disable hard lockup detection.  This must be
executed early by the boot processor from e.g.  smp_prepare_boot_cpu, in
order to allow kernel command line arguments to override it, as well as
to avoid hard lockup detection being enabled before we've had a chance
to indicate that it's unwanted.  In summary,

  initial boot:					default=enabled
  smp_prepare_boot_cpu
    watchdog_enable_hardlockup_detector(false):	default=disabled
  cmdline has 'nmi_watchdog=1':			default=enabled

The running kernel still has the ability to enable/disable at any time
with /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog us usual.  However even when the
default has been overridden /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog will initially
show '1'.  To truly turn it on one must disable/enable it, i.e.

  echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
  echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog

This patch will be immediately useful for KVM with the next patch of this
series.  Other hypervisor guest types may find it useful as well.

      softlockup: make detector be aware of task switch of processes hogging cpu · b1a8de1f
      由 chai wen 提交于 
      For now, soft lockup detector warns once for each case of process
softlockup.  But the thread 'watchdog/n' may not always get the cpu at the
time slot between the task switch of two processes hogging that cpu to
reset soft_watchdog_warn.

An example would be two processes hogging the cpu.  Process A causes the
softlockup warning and is killed manually by a user.  Process B
immediately becomes the new process hogging the cpu preventing the
softlockup code from resetting the soft_watchdog_warn variable.

This case is a false negative of "warn only once for a process", as there
may be a different process that is going to hog the cpu.  Resolve this by
saving/checking the task pointer of the hogging process and use that to
reset soft_watchdog_warn too.

      kernel/watchdog.c: print traces for all cpus on lockup detection · ed235875
      由 Aaron Tomlin 提交于 
      A 'softlockup' is defined as a bug that causes the kernel to loop in
kernel mode for more than a predefined period to time, without giving
other tasks a chance to run.

Currently, upon detection of this condition by the per-cpu watchdog
task, debug information (including a stack trace) is sent to the system
log.

On some occasions, we have observed that the "victim" rather than the
actual "culprit" (i.e.  the owner/holder of the contended resource) is
reported to the user.  Often this information has proven to be
insufficient to assist debugging efforts.

To avoid loss of useful debug information, for architectures which
support NMI, this patch makes it possible to improve soft lockup
reporting.  This is accomplished by issuing an NMI to each cpu to obtain
a stack trace.

If NMI is not supported we just revert back to the old method.  A sysctl
and boot-time parameter is available to toggle this feature.

  NMI watchdog: disabled (cpu0): hardware events not enabled

What happened is after updating the watchdog_thresh, the lockup detector
is restarted to utilize the new value.  Part of this process involved
disabling preemption.  Once preemption was disabled, perf tried to
allocate a new event (as part of the restart).  This caused the above
BUG_ON as you can't sleep with preemption disabled.

The preemption restriction seemed agressive as we are not doing anything
on that particular cpu, but with all the online cpus (which are
protected by the get_online_cpus lock).  Remove the restriction and the
BUG_ON goes away.

      kernel/watchdog.c: touch_nmi_watchdog should only touch local cpu not every one · 62572e29
      由 Ben Zhang 提交于 
      I ran into a scenario where while one cpu was stuck and should have
panic'd because of the NMI watchdog, it didn't.  The reason was another
cpu was spewing stack dumps on to the console.  Upon investigation, I
noticed that when writing to the console and also when dumping the
stack, the watchdog is touched.

This causes all the cpus to reset their NMI watchdog flags and the
'stuck' cpu just spins forever.

This change causes the semantics of touch_nmi_watchdog to be changed
slightly.  Previously, I accidentally changed the semantics and we
noticed there was a codepath in which touch_nmi_watchdog could be
touched from a preemtible area.  That caused a BUG() to happen when
CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT was enabled.  I believe it was the acpi code.

My attempt here re-introduces the change to have the
touch_nmi_watchdog() code only touch the local cpu instead of all of the
cpus.  But instead of using __get_cpu_var(), I use the
__raw_get_cpu_var() version.

This avoids the preemption problem.  However my reasoning wasn't because
I was trying to be lazy.  Instead I rationalized it as, well if
preemption is enabled then interrupts should be enabled to and the NMI
watchdog will have no reason to trigger.  So it won't matter if the
wrong cpu is touched because the percpu interrupt counters the NMI
watchdog uses should still be incrementing.

Don said:

: I'm ok with this patch, though it does alter the behaviour of how
: touch_nmi_watchdog works.  For the most part I don't think most callers
: need to touch all of the watchdogs (on each cpu).  Perhaps a corner case
: will pop up (the scheduler??  to mimic touch_all_softlockup_watchdogs() ).
:
: But this does address an issue where if a system is locked up and one cpu
: is spewing out useful debug messages (or error messages), the hard lockup
: will fail to go off.  We have seen this on RHEL also.

      watchdog: Simplify a little the IPI call · e0a23b06
      由 Frederic Weisbecker 提交于 
      In order to remotely restart the watchdog hrtimer, update_timers()
allocates a csd on the stack and pass it to __smp_call_function_single().

There is no partcular need, however, for a specific csd here. Lets
simplify that a little by calling smp_call_function_single()
which can already take care of the csd allocation by itself.

      watchdog: update watchdog_thresh properly · 9809b18f
      由 Michal Hocko 提交于 
      watchdog_tresh controls how often nmi perf event counter checks per-cpu
hrtimer_interrupts counter and blows up if the counter hasn't changed
since the last check.  The counter is updated by per-cpu
watchdog_hrtimer hrtimer which is scheduled with 2/5 watchdog_thresh
period which guarantees that hrtimer is scheduled 2 times per the main
period.  Both hrtimer and perf event are started together when the
watchdog is enabled.

So far so good.  But...

But what happens when watchdog_thresh is updated from sysctl handler?

proc_dowatchdog will set a new sampling period and hrtimer callback
(watchdog_timer_fn) will use the new value in the next round.  The
problem, however, is that nobody tells the perf event that the sampling
period has changed so it is ticking with the period configured when it
has been set up.

This might result in an ear ripping dissonance between perf and hrtimer
parts if the watchdog_thresh is increased.  And even worse it might lead
to KABOOM if the watchdog is configured to panic on such a spurious
lockup.

This patch fixes the issue by updating both nmi perf even counter and
hrtimers if the threshold value has changed.

The nmi one is disabled and then reinitialized from scratch.  This has
an unpleasant side effect that the allocation of the new event might
fail theoretically so the hard lockup detector would be disabled for
such cpus.  On the other hand such a memory allocation failure is very
unlikely because the original event is deallocated right before.

It would be much nicer if we just changed perf event period but there
doesn't seem to be any API to do that right now.  It is also unfortunate
that perf_event_alloc uses GFP_KERNEL allocation unconditionally so we
cannot use on_each_cpu() and do the same thing from the per-cpu context.
The update from the current CPU should be safe because
perf_event_disable removes the event atomically before it clears the
per-cpu watchdog_ev so it cannot change anything under running handler
feet.

The hrtimer is simply restarted (thanks to Don Zickus who has pointed
this out) if it is queued because we cannot rely it will fire&adopt to
the new sampling period before a new nmi event triggers (when the
treshold is decreased).

      watchdog: Boot-disable by default on full dynticks · 940be35a
      由 Frederic Weisbecker 提交于 
      When the watchdog runs, it prevents the full dynticks
CPUs from stopping their tick because the hard lockup
detector uses perf events internally, which in turn
rely on the periodic tick.

Since this is a rather confusing behaviour that is not
easy to track down and identify for those who want to
test CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL, let's default disable the
watchdog on boot time when full dynticks is enabled.

The user can still enable it later on runtime using
proc or sysctl.

      We have two very conflicting state variable names in the
watchdog:

* watchdog_enabled: This one reflects the user interface. It's
set to 1 by default and can be overriden with boot options
or sysctl/procfs interface.

* watchdog_disabled: This is the internal toggle state that
tells if watchdog threads, timers and NMI events are currently
running or not. This state mostly depends on the user settings.
It's a convenient state latch.

Now we really need to find clearer names because those
are just too confusing to encourage deep review.

watchdog_enabled now becomes watchdog_user_enabled to reflect
its purpose as an interface.

watchdog_disabled becomes watchdog_running to suggest its
role as a pure internal state.

      watchdog: Register / unregister watchdog kthreads on sysctl control · b8900bc0
      由 Frederic Weisbecker 提交于 
      The user activation/deactivation of the watchdog through boot parameters
or systcl is currently implemented with a dance involving kthreads parking
and unparking methods: the threads are unconditionally registered on
boot and they park as soon as the user want the watchdog to be disabled.

This method involves a few noisy details to handle though: the watchdog
kthreads may be unparked anytime due to hotplug operations, after which
the watchdog internals have to decide to park again if it is user-disabled.

As a result the setup() and unpark() methods need to be able to request a
reparking. This is not currently supported in the kthread infrastructure
so this piece of the watchdog code only works halfway.

Besides, unparking/reparking the watchdog kthreads consume unnecessary
cputime on hotplug operations when those could be simply ignored in the
first place.

As suggested by Srivatsa, let's instead only register the watchdog
threads when they are needed. This way we don't need to think about
hotplug operations and we don't burden the CPU onlining when the watchdog
is simply disabled.

      由 Bjørn Mork 提交于 
      Commit 8d451690 ("watchdog: Fix CPU hotplug regression") causes an
oops or hard lockup when doing

 echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
 echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog

and the kernel is booted with nmi_watchdog=1 (default)

Running laptop-mode-tools and disconnecting/connecting AC power will
cause this to trigger, making it a common failure scenario on laptops.

Instead of bailing out of watchdog_disable() when !watchdog_enabled we
can initialize the hrtimer regardless of watchdog_enabled status.  This
makes it safe to call watchdog_disable() in the nmi_watchdog=0 case,
without the negative effect on the enabled => disabled => enabled case.

All these tests pass with this patch:
- nmi_watchdog=1
  echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
  echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog

- nmi_watchdog=0
  echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online

      NMI watchdog: fix for lockup detector breakage on resume · 45226e94
      由 Sameer Nanda 提交于 
      On the suspend/resume path the boot CPU does not go though an
offline->online transition.  This breaks the NMI detector post-resume
since it depends on PMU state that is lost when the system gets
suspended.

Fix this by forcing a CPU offline->online transition for the lockup
detector on the boot CPU during resume.

To provide more context, we enable NMI watchdog on Chrome OS.  We have
seen several reports of systems freezing up completely which indicated
that the NMI watchdog was not firing for some reason.

Debugging further, we found a simple way of repro'ing system freezes --
issuing the command 'tasket 1 sh -c "echo nmilockup > /proc/breakme"'
after the system has been suspended/resumed one or more times.

With this patch in place, the system freeze result in panics, as
expected.

These panics provide a nice stack trace for us to debug the actual issue
causing the freeze.

      watchdog: Quiet down the boot messages · a7027046
      由 Don Zickus 提交于 
      A bunch of bugzillas have complained how noisy the nmi_watchdog
is during boot-up especially with its expected failure cases
(like virt and bios resource contention).

This is my attempt to quiet them down and keep it less confusing
for the end user.  What I did is print the message for cpu0 and
save it for future comparisons.  If future cpus have an
identical message as cpu0, then don't print the redundant info.
However, if a future cpu has a different message, happily print
that loudly.

Before the change, you would see something like:

    ..TIMER: vector=0x30 apic1=0 pin1=2 apic2=-1 pin2=-1
    CPU0: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU    Q9550  @ 2.83GHz stepping 0a

After the change, it is simplified to:

      bugs, x86: Fix printk levels for panic, softlockups and stack dumps · b0f4c4b3
      由 Prarit Bhargava 提交于 
      rsyslog will display KERN_EMERG messages on a connected
terminal.  However, these messages are useless/undecipherable
for a general user.

For example, after a softlockup we get:

 Message from syslogd@intel-s3e37-04 at Jan 25 14:18:06 ...
 kernel:Stack:

 Message from syslogd@intel-s3e37-04 at Jan 25 14:18:06 ...
 kernel:Call Trace:

 Message from syslogd@intel-s3e37-04 at Jan 25 14:18:06 ...
 kernel:Code: ff ff a8 08 75 25 31 d2 48 8d 86 38 e0 ff ff 48 89
 d1 0f 01 c8 0f ae f0 48 8b 86 38 e0 ff ff a8 08 75 08 b1 01 4c 89 e0 0f 01 c9 <e8> ea 69 dd ff 4c 29 e8 48 89 c7 e8 0f bc da ff 49 89 c4 49 89

This happens because the printk levels for these messages are
incorrect. Only an informational message should be displayed on
a terminal.

I modified the printk levels for various messages in the kernel
and tested the output by using the drivers/misc/lkdtm.c kernel
modules (ie, softlockups, panics, hard lockups, etc.) and
confirmed that the console output was still the same and that
the output to the terminals was correct.

For example, in the case of a softlockup we now see the much
more informative:

 Message from syslogd@intel-s3e37-04 at Jan 25 10:18:06 ...
 BUG: soft lockup - CPU4 stuck for 60s!

instead of the above confusing messages.

AFAICT, the messages no longer have to be KERN_EMERG.  In the
most important case of a panic we set console_verbose().  As for
the other less severe cases the correct data is output to the
console and /var/log/messages.

Successfully tested by me using the drivers/misc/lkdtm.c module.
