This reverts commit 2bb2b7b57f81255c13f4395ea911d6bdc70c9fe2.
The testing of 5.19 release candidates revealed missing synchronization
between early and regular console functionality.
It would be possible to start the console kthreads later as a workaround.
But it is clear that console lock serialized console drivers between
each other. It opens a big area of possible problems that were not
considered by people involved in the development and review.
printk() is crucial for debugging kernel issues and console output is
very important part of it. The number of consoles is huge and a proper
review would take some time. As a result it need to be reverted for 5.19.

Once kthread printing is available, console printing will no longer
occur in the context of the printk caller. However, there are some
special contexts where it is desirable for the printk caller to
directly print out kernel messages. Using pr_flush() to wait for
threaded printers is only possible if the caller is in a sleepable
context and the kthreads are active. That is not always the case.
Introduce printk_prefer_direct_enter() and printk_prefer_direct_exit()
functions to explicitly (and globally) activate/deactivate preferred
direct console printing. The term "direct console printing" refers to
printing to all enabled consoles from the context of the printk
caller. The term "prefer" is used because this type of printing is
only best effort. If the console is currently locked or other
printers are already actively printing, the printk caller will need
to rely on the other contexts to handle the printing.
This preferred direct printing is how all printing has been handled
until now (unless it was explicitly deferred).
When kthread printing is introduced, there may be some unanticipated
problems due to kthreads being unable to flush important messages.
In order to minimize such risks, preferred direct printing is
activated for the primary important messages when the system
experiences general types of major errors. These are:
- emergency reboot/shutdown
- cpu and rcu stalls
- hard and soft lockups
- hung tasks
- warn
- sysrq
Note that since kthread printing does not yet exist, no behavior
changes result from this commit. This is only implementing the
counter and marking the various places where preferred direct
printing is active.

Some architectures need to use stop_machine() to patch functions for
ftrace, and the assumption is that the stopped CPUs do not make function
calls to traceable functions when they are in the stopped state.
Commit ce4f06dcbb5d ("stop_machine: Touch_nmi_watchdog() after
MULTI_STOP_PREPARE") added calls to the watchdog touch functions from
the stopped CPUs and those functions lack notrace annotations. This
leads to crashes when enabling/disabling ftrace on ARM kernels built
with the Thumb-2 instruction set.
Fix it by adding the necessary notrace annotations.

Code is emitting the following error message during boot on systems
without PMU hardware support while probing NMI capability.
NMI watchdog: Perf event create on CPU 0 failed with -2
This error is emitted as the perf subsystem returns -ENOENT due to lack of
PMUs in the system.
It is followed by the warning that NMI watchdog is disabled:
NMI watchdog: Perf NMI watchdog permanently disabled
While NMI disabled information is useful for ordinary users, seeing a PERF
event create failed with error code -2 is not.
Reduce the message severity to debug so that if debugging is still possible
in case the error code returned by perf is required for analysis.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

stops after a while (after ~10-30 iterations, with fluctuations).
Maybe watchdog_cpus needs to be atomic ?
That's correct as this again is affected by the asynchronous nature of the
smpboot thread unpark mechanism.
CPU 0 CPU1 CPU2
write(watchdog_thresh, 6)

unpark()
thread->unpark()
cnt++;
write(watchdog_thresh, 5) thread->unpark()
stop()
park() thread->park()
cnt--; cnt++;
update()

That's not a functional problem, it just affects the informational message.

Simplify deferred event destroy")
Guenter reported a crash in the watchdog/perf code, which is caused by
cleanup() and enable() running concurrently. The reason for this is:
The watchdog functions are serialized via the watchdog_mutex and cpu
hotplug locking, but the enable of the perf based watchdog happens in
context of the unpark callback of the smpboot thread. But that unpark
function is not synchronous inside the locking. The unparking of the thread
just wakes it up and leaves so there is no guarantee when the thread is
executing.
If it starts running _before_ the cleanup happened then it will create a
event and overwrite the dead event pointer. The new event is then cleaned
up because the event is marked dead.
lock(watchdog_mutex);
lockup_detector_reconfigure();
cpus_read_lock();
stop();
park()
update();
start();
unpark()
cpus_read_unlock(); thread runs()
overwrite dead event ptr
cleanup();
free new event, which is active inside perf....
unlock(watchdog_mutex);
The park side is safe as that actually waits for the thread to reach
parked state.
Commit a33d44843d45 removed the protection against this kind of scenario
under the stupid assumption that the hotplug serialization and the
watchdog_mutex cover everything.
Bring it back.

The watchdog tries to create perf events even after it figured out that
perf is not functional or the requested event is not supported.
That's braindead as this can be done once at init time and if not supported
the NMI watchdog can be turned off unconditonally.
Implement the perf hardlockup detector functionality for that. This creates
a new event create function, which will replace the unholy mess of the
existing one in later patches.

Commit:
b94f51183b06 ("kernel/watchdog: prevent false hardlockup on overloaded system")
tries to fix the following issue:
proc_write()
set_sample_period() <--- New sample period becoms visible
<----- Broken starts
proc_watchdog_update()
watchdog_enable_all_cpus() watchdog_hrtimer_fn()
update_watchdog_all_cpus() restart_timer(sample_period)
watchdog_park_threads()
thread->park()
disable_nmi()
<----- Broken ends
The reason why this is broken is that the update of the watchdog threshold
becomes immediately effective and visible for the hrtimer function which
uses that value to rearm the timer. But the NMI/perf side still uses the
old value up to the point where it is disabled. If the rate has been
lowered then the NMI can run fast enough to 'detect' a hard lockup because
the timer has not fired due to the longer period.
The patch 'fixed' this by adding a variable:
proc_write()
set_sample_period()

The only effect of this variable was to make the window where the breakage
can hit small enough that it was not longer observable in testing. From a
correctness point of view it is a pointless bandaid which merily papers
over the root cause: the unsychronized update of the variable.
Looking deeper into the related code pathes unearthed similar problems in
the watchdog_start()/stop() functions.
watchdog_start()
perf_nmi_event_start()
hrtimer_start()
watchdog_stop()
hrtimer_cancel()
perf_nmi_event_stop()
In both cases the call order is wrong because if the tasks gets preempted
or the VM gets scheduled out long enough after the first call, then there is
a chance that the next NMI will see a stale hrtimer interrupt count and
trigger a false positive hard lockup splat.
Get rid of park_in_progress so the code can be gradually deobfuscated and
pruned from several layers of duct tape papering over the root cause,
which has been either ignored or not understood at all.
Once this is removed the underlying problem will be fixed by rewriting the
proc interface to do a proper synchronized update.
Address the start/stop() ordering problem as well by reverting the call
order, so this part is at least correct now.

The following deadlock is possible in the watchdog hotplug code:
cpus_write_lock()
...
takedown_cpu()
smpboot_park_threads()
smpboot_park_thread()
kthread_park()
->park() := watchdog_disable()
watchdog_nmi_disable()
perf_event_release_kernel();
put_event()
_free_event()
->destroy() := hw_perf_event_destroy()
x86_release_hardware()
release_ds_buffers()
get_online_cpus()
when a per cpu watchdog perf event is destroyed which drops the last
reference to the PMU hardware. The cleanup code there invokes
get_online_cpus() which instantly deadlocks because the hotplug percpu
rwsem is write locked.
To solve this add a deferring mechanism:
cpus_write_lock()
kthread_park()
watchdog_nmi_disable(deferred)
perf_event_disable(event);
move_event_to_deferred(event);
....
cpus_write_unlock()
cleaup_deferred_events()
perf_event_release_kernel()
This is still properly serialized against concurrent hotplug via the
cpu_add_remove_lock, which is held by the task which initiated the hotplug
event.
This is also used to handle event destruction when the watchdog threads are
parked via other mechanisms than CPU hotplug.

The self disabling feature is broken vs. CPU hotplug locking:
CPU 0 CPU 1
cpus_write_lock();
cpu_up(1)
wait_for_completion()
....
unpark_watchdog()
->unpark()
perf_event_create() <- fails
watchdog_enable &= ~NMI_WATCHDOG;
....
cpus_write_unlock();
CPU 2
cpus_write_lock()
cpu_down(2)
wait_for_completion()
wakeup(watchdog);
watchdog()
if (!(watchdog_enable & NMI_WATCHDOG))
watchdog_nmi_disable()
perf_event_disable()
....
cpus_read_lock();
stop_smpboot_threads()
park_watchdog();
wait_for_completion(watchdog->parked);
Result: End of hotplug and instantaneous full lockup of the machine.
There is a similar problem with disabling the watchdog via the user space
interface as the sysctl function fiddles with watchdog_enable directly.
It's very debatable whether this is required at all. If the watchdog works
nicely on N CPUs and it fails to enable on the N + 1 CPU either during
hotplug or because the user space interface disabled it via sysctl cpumask
and then some perf user grabbed the counter which is then unavailable for
the watchdog when the sysctl cpumask gets changed back.
There is no real justification for this.
One of the reasons WHY this is done is the utter stupidity of the init code
of the perf NMI watchdog. Instead of checking upfront at boot whether PERF
is available and functional at all, it just does this check at run time
over and over when user space fiddles with the sysctl. That's broken beyond
repair along with the idiotic error code dependent warn level printks and
the even more silly printk rate limiting.
If the init code checks whether perf works at boot time, then this mess can
be more or less avoided completely. Perf does not come magically into life
at runtime. Brain usage while coding is overrated.
Remove the cruft and add a temporary safe guard which gets removed later.

Provide an interface to stop and restart perf NMI watchdog events on all
CPUs. This is only usable during init and especially for handling the perf
HT bug on Intel machines. It's safe to use it this way as nothing can
start/stop the NMI watchdog in parallel.

The hardlockup detector on x86 uses a performance counter based on unhalted
CPU cycles and a periodic hrtimer. The hrtimer period is about 2/5 of the
performance counter period, so the hrtimer should fire 2-3 times before the
performance counter NMI fires. The NMI code checks whether the hrtimer
fired since the last invocation. If not, it assumess a hard lockup.
The calculation of those periods is based on the nominal CPU
frequency. Turbo modes increase the CPU clock frequency and therefore
shorten the period of the perf/NMI watchdog. With extreme Turbo-modes (3x
nominal frequency) the perf/NMI period is shorter than the hrtimer period
which leads to false positives.
A simple fix would be to shorten the hrtimer period, but that comes with
the side effect of more frequent hrtimer and softlockup thread wakeups,
which is not desired.
Implement a low pass filter, which checks the perf/NMI period against
kernel time. If the perf/NMI fires before 4/5 of the watchdog period has
elapsed then the event is ignored and postponed to the next perf/NMI.
That solves the problem and avoids the overhead of shorter hrtimer periods
and more frequent softlockup thread wakeups.

Split SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR from LOCKUP_DETECTOR, and split
HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF from HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR.
LOCKUP_DETECTOR implies the general boot, sysctl, and programming
interfaces for the lockup detectors.
An architecture that wants to use a hard lockup detector must define
HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF or HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH.
Alternatively an arch can define HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG, which provides the
minimum arch_touch_nmi_watchdog, and it otherwise does its own thing and
does not implement the LOCKUP_DETECTOR interfaces.
sparc is unusual in that it has started to implement some of the
interfaces, but not fully yet. It should probably be converted to a full
HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH.

For architectures that define HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG, instead of having them
provide the complete touch_nmi_watchdog() function, just have them
provide arch_touch_nmi_watchdog().
This gives the generic code more flexibility in implementing this
function, and arch implementations don't miss out on touching the
softlockup watchdog or other generic details.

When CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HOTPLUG_CPU0 is enabled, the socket containing the
boot cpu can be replaced. During the hot add event, the message
NMI watchdog: enabled on all CPUs, permanently consumes one hw-PMU counter.
is output implying that the NMI watchdog was disabled at some point. This
is not the case and the message has caused confusion for users of systems
that support the removal of the boot cpu socket.
The watchdog code is coded to assume that cpu 0 is always the first cpu to
initialize the watchdog, and the last to stop its watchdog thread. That
is not the case for initializing if cpu 0 has been removed and added. The
removal case has never been correct because the smpboot code will remove
the watchdog threads starting with the lowest cpu number.
This patch adds watchdog_cpus to track the number of cpus with active NMI
watchdog threads so that the first and last thread can be used to set and
clear the value of firstcpu_err. firstcpu_err is set when the first
watchdog thread is enabled, and cleared when the last watchdog thread is
disabled.

On an overloaded system, it is possible that a change in the watchdog
threshold can be delayed long enough to trigger a false positive.
This can easily be achieved by having a cpu spinning indefinitely on a
task, while another cpu updates watchdog threshold.
What happens is while trying to park the watchdog threads, the hrtimers
on the other cpus trigger and reprogram themselves with the new slower
watchdog threshold. Meanwhile, the nmi watchdog is still programmed
with the old faster threshold.
Because the one cpu is blocked, it prevents the thread parking on the
other cpus from completing, which is needed to shutdown the nmi watchdog
and reprogram it correctly. As a result, a false positive from the nmi
watchdog is reported.
Fix this by setting a park_in_progress flag to block all lockups until
the parking is complete.
Fix provided by Ulrich Obergfell.

Separate hardlockup code from watchdog.c and move it to watchdog_hld.c.
It is mostly straight forward. Remove everything inside
CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTORS. This code will go to file watchdog_hld.c.
Also update the makefile accordigly.
