* watchdog: Boot-disable by default on full dynticksFrederic Weisbecker2013-06-201-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* watchdog: Rename confusing state variableFrederic Weisbecker2013-06-201-15/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 controlFrederic Weisbecker2013-06-201-40/+47
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Suggested-by: Srivatsa S.

* watchdog: Add comments to explain the watchdog_disabled variableanish kumar2013-03-141-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The watchdog_disabled flag is a bit cryptic. However it's usefulness is multifold. Uses are: 1. Check if smpboot_register_percpu_thread function passed. 2. Makes sure that user enables and disables the watchdog in sequence i.e. enable watchdog->disable watchdog->enable watchdog Unlike enable watchdog->enable watchdog which is wrong.

* watchdog: Fix disable/enable regressionBjørn Mork2012-12-191-7/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 8d4516904b39 ("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=0 echo mem > /sys/power/state Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51661 Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # v3.7 Cc: Norbert Warmuth <nwarmuth@t-online.de> Cc: Joseph Salisbury <joseph.salisbury@canonical.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Bjørn Mork <bjorn@mork.no> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Norbert reported: "3.7-rc6 booted with nmi_watchdog=0 fails to suspend to RAM or offline CPUs. It's reproducable with a KVM guest and physical system." The reason is that commit bcd951cf(watchdog: Use hotplug thread infrastructure) missed to take this into account. So the cpu offline code gets stuck in the teardown function because it accesses non initialized data structures. Add a check for watchdog_enabled into that path to cure the issue.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Revert commit 45226e9 (NMI watchdog: fix for lockup detector breakage on resume) which breaks resume from system suspend on my SH7372 Mackerel board (by causing a NULL pointer dereference to happen) and is generally wrong, because it abuses the CPU hotplug functionality in a shamelessly blatant way. The original issue should be addressed through appropriate syscore resume callback instead. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
* NMI watchdog: fix for lockup detector breakage on resumeSameer Nanda2012-07-311-2/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 messagesDon Zickus2012-06-141-1/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Performance Events: PEBS fmt0+, Core2 events, Intel PMU driver. ... version: 2 ... bit width: 40 ... generic registers: 2 ... value mask: 000000ffffffffff ... max period: 000000007fffffff ... fixed-purpose events: 3 ... event mask: 0000000700000003 NMI watchdog enabled, takes one hw-pmu counter.

* watchdog: make sure the watchdog thread gets CPU on loaded systemMichal Hocko2012-03-241-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the system is loaded while hotplugging a CPU we might end up with a bogus hardlockup detection. This has been seen during LTP pounder test executed in parallel with hotplug test. The main problem is that enable_watchdog (called when CPU is brought up) registers perf event which periodically checks per-cpu counter (hrtimer_interrupts), updated from a hrtimer callback, but the hrtimer is fired from the kernel thread. This means that while we already do check for the hard lockup the kernel thread might be sitting on the runqueue with zillions of tasks so there is nobody to update the value we rely on and so we KABOOM. Let's fix this by boosting the watchdog thread priority before we wake it up rather than when it's already running. This still doesn't handle a case where we have the same amount of high prio FIFO tasks but that doesn't seem to be common. The current implementation doesn't handle that case anyway so this is not worse at least. Unfortunately, we cannot start perf counter from the watchdog thread because we could miss a real lock up and also we cannot start the hrtimer watchdog_enable because we there is no way (at least I don't know any) to start a hrtimer from a different CPU.

* bugs, x86: Fix printk levels for panic, softlockups and stack dumpsPrarit Bhargava2012-01-261-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* perf, x86: P4 PMU - Introduce event alias featureCyrill Gorcunov2011-07-141-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* perf: Add context field to perf_eventAvi Kivity2011-07-011-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* perf: Remove the nmi parameter from the swevent and overflow interfacePeter Zijlstra2011-07-011-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* perf, x86: Add hw_watchdog_set_attr() in a sake of nmi-watchdog on P4Cyrill Gorcunov2011-07-011-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | on watchdog_thresh 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.

* kernel/watchdog.c: always return NOTIFY_OK during cpu up/down eventsDon Zickus2011-03-231-6/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

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.
