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.

Instead of hw_nmi_watchdog_set_attr() weak function and appropriate x86_pmu::hw_watchdog_set_attr() call we introduce even alias mechanism which allow us to drop this routines completely and isolate quirks of Netburst architecture inside P4 PMU code only. The main idea remains the same though -- to allow nmi-watchdog and perf top run simultaneously. Note the aliasing mechanism applies to generic PERF_COUNT_HW_CPU_CYCLES event only because arbitrary event (say passed as RAW initially) might have some additional bits set inside ESCR register changing the behaviour of event and we can't guarantee anymore that alias event will give the same result.

The perf_event overflow handler does not receive any caller-derived argument, so many callers need to resort to looking up the perf_event in their local data structure. This is ugly and doesn't scale if a single callback services many perf_events. Fix by adding a context parameter to perf_event_create_kernel_counter() (and derived hardware breakpoints APIs) and storing it in the perf_event. The field can be accessed from the callback as event->overflow_handler_context. All callers are updated.

The nmi parameter indicated if we could do wakeups from the current context, if not, we would set some state and self-IPI and let the resulting interrupt do the wakeup. For the various event classes: - hardware: nmi=0; PMI is in fact an NMI or we run irq_work_run from the PMI-tail (ARM etc.) - tracepoint: nmi=0; since tracepoint could be from NMI context. - software: nmi=[0,1]; some, like the schedule thing cannot perform wakeups, and hence need 0. As one can see, there is very little nmi=1 usage, and the down-side of not using it is that on some platforms some software events can have a jiffy delay in wakeup (when arch_irq_work_raise isn't implemented). The up-side however is that we can remove the nmi parameter and save a bunch of conditionals in fast paths.

由 Cyrill Gorcunov 提交于
Due to restriction and specifics of Netburst PMU we need a separated event for NMI watchdog. In particular every Netburst event consumes not just a counter and a config register, but also an additional ESCR register. Since ESCR registers are grouped upon counters (i.e. if ESCR is occupied for some event there is no room for another event to enter until its released) we need to pick up the "least" used ESCR (or the most available one) for nmi-watchdog purposes -- so MSR_P4_CRU_ESCR2/3 was chosen. With this patch nmi-watchdog and perf top should be able to run simultaneously.

Before the conversion of the NMI watchdog to perf event, the watchdog timeout was 5 seconds. Now it is 60 seconds. For my particular application, netbooks, 5 seconds was a better timeout. With a short timeout, we catch faults earlier and are able to send back a panic. With a 60 second timeout, the user is unlikely to wait and will instead hit the power button, causing us to lose the panic info. This change configures the NMI period to watchdog_thresh and sets the softlockup_thresh to watchdog_thresh * 2. In addition, watchdog_thresh was reduced to 10 seconds as suggested by Ingo Molnar.

This patch addresses a couple of problems. One was the case when the hardlockup failed to start, it also failed to start the softlockup. There were valid cases when the hardlockup shouldn't start and that shouldn't block the softlockup (no lapic, bios controls perf counters). The second problem was when the hardlockup failed to start on boxes (from a no lapic or bios controlled perf counter case), it reported failure to the cpu notifier chain. This blocked the notifier from continuing to start other more critical pieces of cpu bring-up (in our case based on a 2.6.32 fork, it was the mce). As a result, during soft cpu online/offline testing, the system would panic when a cpu was offlined because the cpu notifier would succeed in processing a watchdog disable cpu event and would panic in the mce case as a result of un-initialized variables from a never executed cpu up event. I realized the hardlockup/softlockup cases are really just debugging aids and should never impede the progress of a cpu up/down event. Therefore I modified the code to always return NOTIFY_OK and instead rely on printks to inform the user of problems.

When a cpu is considered stuck, instead of limping along and just printing a warning, it is sometimes preferred to just panic, let kdump capture the vmcore and reboot. This gets the machine back into a stable state quickly while saving the info that got it into a stuck state to begin with. Add a Kconfig option to allow users to set the hardlockup to panic by default. Also add in a 'nmi_watchdog=nopanic' to override this.

Passing nowatchdog to kernel disables 2 things: creation of watchdog threads AND initialization of percpu watchdog_hrtimer. As hrtimers are initialized only at boot it's not possible to enable watchdog later - for me all watchdog threads started to eat 100% of CPU time, but they could just crash. Additionally, even if these threads would start properly, watchdog_disable_all_cpus was guarded by no_watchdog check, so you couldn't disable watchdog. To fix this, remove no_watchdog variable and use already existing watchdog_enabled variable.

The perf hardware pmu got initialized at various points in the boot, some before early_initcall() some after (notably arch_initcall). The problem is that the NMI lockup detector is ran from early_initcall() and expects the hardware pmu to be present. Sanitize this by moving all architecture hardware pmu implementations to initialize at early_initcall() and move the lockup detector to an explicit initcall right after that.

The kernel perf event creation path shouldn't use find_task_by_vpid() because a vpid exists in a specific namespace. find_task_by_vpid() uses current's pid namespace which isn't always the correct namespace to use for the vpid in all the places perf_event_create_kernel_counter() (and thus find_get_context()) is called. The goal is to clean up pid namespace handling and prevent bugs like: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17281 Instead of using pids switch find_get_context() to use task struct pointers directly. The syscall is responsible for resolving the pid to a task struct. This moves the pid namespace resolution into the syscall much like every other syscall that takes pid parameters.

The reason is that you are trying to cancel a hrtimer which has never been initialized. This patch fixes this by skipping execution of watchdog_disable_all_cpus() when the watchdog is marked disabled from boot.

During my rewrite, the semantics of touch_nmi_watchdog and touch_softlockup_watchdog changed enough to break some drivers (mostly over preemptable regions). These are cases where long delays on one CPU (due to print_delay for example) can cause long delays on other CPUs - so we must 'touch' the nmi_watchdog flag of those other CPUs as well. This change brings those touch_*_watchdog() functions back in line with to how they used to work.

The panic notifer in lockup_detector just set did_panic to 1. But did_panic is not used anywhere so we can just remove it.

By the commit e6bde73b ("cpu-hotplug: return better errno on cpu hotplug failure"), the cpu notifier can return encapsulate errno value, resulting in more meaningful error codes for CPU hotplug failures. This converts the cpu notifier to return encapsulate errno value for the lockup_detector as well.

Stephane reported that when the machine locks up, the regular ticks, which are responsible to resetting the throttle count, stop too. Hence the NMI watchdog can end up being throttled before it reports on the locked up state, and we end up being sad.. Cure this by having the watchdog overflow reset its own throttle count.

Just a bunch of conversions as suggested by Frederic W. __get_cpu_var() provides preemption disabled checks. Plus it gives more readability as it makes it obvious we are dealing locally now with these vars.

Combining the softlockup and hardlockup code causes watchdog.c to build even without the hardlockup detection support. So if an arch, that has the previous and the new nmi watchdog implementations cohabiting, wants to know if the generic one is in use, CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR is not a reliable check. We need to use CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR instead. Fixes: kernel/built-in.o: In function `touch_nmi_watchdog': (.text+0x449bc): multiple definition of `touch_nmi_watchdog' arch/sparc/kernel/built-in.o:(.text+0x11b28): first defined here Signed-off-by: NDon Zickus <dzickus@redhat.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Don Zickus <dzickus@redhat.com> Cc: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@gmail.com> LKML-Reference: <20100514151121.GR15159@redhat.com> [ use CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR instead of CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS_NMI] Signed-off-by: NFrederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>

This new config is deemed to simplify even more the lockup detector dependencies and can make it easier to bring a smooth sorting between archs that support the new generic lockup detector and those that still have their own, especially for those that are in the middle of this migration. Instead of checking whether we have CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR + CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS_NMI each time an arch wants to know if it needs to build its own lockup detector, take a shortcut with this new config. It is enabled only if the hardlockup detection part of the whole lockup detector is on.
