lib/test_lockup: test module to generate lockups
CONFIG_TEST_LOCKUP=m adds module "test_lockup" that helps to make sure that watchdogs and lockup detectors are working properly. Depending on module parameters test_lockup could emulate soft or hard lockup, "hung task", hold arbitrary lock, allocate bunch of pages. Also it could generate series of lockups with cooling-down periods, in this way it could be used as "ping" for locks or page allocator. Loop checks signals between iteration thus could be stopped by ^C. # modinfo test_lockup ... parm: time_secs:lockup time in seconds, default 0 (uint) parm: time_nsecs:nanoseconds part of lockup time, default 0 (uint) parm: cooldown_secs:cooldown time between iterations in seconds, default 0 (uint) parm: cooldown_nsecs:nanoseconds part of cooldown, default 0 (uint) parm: iterations:lockup iterations, default 1 (uint) parm: all_cpus:trigger lockup at all cpus at once (bool) parm: state:wait in 'R' running (default), 'D' uninterruptible, 'K' killable, 'S' interruptible state (charp) parm: use_hrtimer:use high-resolution timer for sleeping (bool) parm: iowait:account sleep time as iowait (bool) parm: lock_read:lock read-write locks for read (bool) parm: lock_single:acquire locks only at one cpu (bool) parm: reacquire_locks:release and reacquire locks/irq/preempt between iterations (bool) parm: touch_softlockup:touch soft-lockup watchdog between iterations (bool) parm: touch_hardlockup:touch hard-lockup watchdog between iterations (bool) parm: call_cond_resched:call cond_resched() between iterations (bool) parm: measure_lock_wait:measure lock wait time (bool) parm: lock_wait_threshold:print lock wait time longer than this in nanoseconds, default off (ulong) parm: disable_irq:disable interrupts: generate hard-lockups (bool) parm: disable_softirq:disable bottom-half irq handlers (bool) parm: disable_preempt:disable preemption: generate soft-lockups (bool) parm: lock_rcu:grab rcu_read_lock: generate rcu stalls (bool) parm: lock_mmap_sem:lock mm->mmap_sem: block procfs interfaces (bool) parm: lock_rwsem_ptr:lock rw_semaphore at address (ulong) parm: lock_mutex_ptr:lock mutex at address (ulong) parm: lock_spinlock_ptr:lock spinlock at address (ulong) parm: lock_rwlock_ptr:lock rwlock at address (ulong) parm: alloc_pages_nr:allocate and free pages under locks (uint) parm: alloc_pages_order:page order to allocate (uint) parm: alloc_pages_gfp:allocate pages with this gfp_mask, default GFP_KERNEL (uint) parm: alloc_pages_atomic:allocate pages with GFP_ATOMIC (bool) parm: reallocate_pages:free and allocate pages between iterations (bool) Parameters for locking by address are unsafe and taints kernel.
