lockup_detector: Combine nmi_watchdog and softlockup detector The new nmi_watchdog (which uses the perf event subsystem) is very similar in structure to the softlockup detector. Using Ingo's suggestion, I combined the two functionalities into one file: kernel/watchdog.c. Now both the nmi_watchdog (or hardlockup detector) and softlockup detector sit on top of the perf event subsystem, which is run every 60 seconds or so to see if there are any lockups. To detect hardlockups, cpus not responding to interrupts, I implemented an hrtimer that runs 5 times for every perf event overflow event. If that stops counting on a cpu, then the cpu is most likely in trouble. To detect softlockups, tasks not yielding to the scheduler, I used the previous kthread idea that now gets kicked every time the hrtimer fires. If the kthread isn't being scheduled neither is anyone else and the warning is printed to the console. I tested this on x86_64 and both the softlockup and hardlockup paths work. V2: - cleaned up the Kconfig and softlockup combination - surrounded hardlockup cases with #ifdef CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS_NMI - seperated out the softlockup case from perf event subsystem - re-arranged the enabling/disabling nmi watchdog from proc space - added cpumasks for hardlockup failure cases - removed fallback to soft events if no PMU exists for hard events V3: - comment cleanups - drop support for older softlockup code - per_cpu cleanups - completely remove software clock base hardlockup detector - use per_cpu masking on hard/soft lockup detection - #ifdef cleanups - rename config option NMI_WATCHDOG to LOCKUP_DETECTOR - documentation additions V4: - documentation fixes - convert per_cpu to __get_cpu_var - powerpc compile fixes V5: - split apart warn flags for hard and soft lockups TODO: - figure out how to make an arch-agnostic clock2cycles call (if possible) to feed into perf events as a sample period [fweisbec: merged conflict patch] Signed-off-by: Don Zickus <dzickus@redhat.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@gmail.com> Cc: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Cc: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> LKML-Reference: <1273266711-18706-2-git-send-email-dzickus@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>

watchdog: add watchdog_cpumask sysctl to assist nohz Change the default behavior of watchdog so it only runs on the housekeeping cores when nohz_full is enabled at build and boot time. Allow modifying the set of cores the watchdog is currently running on with a new kernel.watchdog_cpumask sysctl. In the current system, the watchdog subsystem runs a periodic timer that schedules the watchdog kthread to run. However, nohz_full cores are designed to allow userspace application code running on those cores to have 100% access to the CPU. So the watchdog system prevents the nohz_full application code from being able to run the way it wants to, thus the motivation to suppress the watchdog on nohz_full cores, which this patchset provides by default. However, if we disable the watchdog globally, then the housekeeping cores can't benefit from the watchdog functionality. So we allow disabling it only on some cores.

watchdog: introduce watchdog_park_threads() and watchdog_unpark_threads() Originally watchdog_nmi_enable(cpu) and watchdog_nmi_disable(cpu) were only called in watchdog thread context. However, the following commits utilize these functions outside of watchdog thread context too. commit 9809b18fcf6b8d8ec4d3643677345907e6b50eca Author: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Date: Tue Sep 24 15:27:30 2013 -0700 watchdog: update watchdog_thresh properly commit b3738d29323344da3017a91010530cf3a58590fc Author: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Date: Mon Nov 17 20:07:03 2014 +0100 watchdog: Add watchdog enable/disable all functions Hence, it is now possible that these functions execute concurrently with the same 'cpu' argument. This concurrency is problematic because per-cpu 'watchdog_ev' can be accessed/modified without adequate synchronization. The patch series aims to address the above problem. However, instead of introducing locks to protect per-cpu 'watchdog_ev' a different approach is taken: Invoke these functions by parking and unparking the watchdog threads (to ensure they are always called in watchdog thread context). static struct smp_hotplug_thread watchdog_threads = { ... .park = watchdog_disable, // calls watchdog_nmi_disable() .unpark = watchdog_enable, // calls watchdog_nmi_enable() }; Both previously mentioned commits call these functions in a similar way and thus in principle contain some duplicate code. The patch series also avoids this duplication by providing a commonly usable mechanism. - Patch 1/4 introduces the watchdog_{park|unpark}_threads functions that park/unpark all watchdog threads specified in 'watchdog_cpumask'. They are intended to be called inside of kernel/watchdog.c only. - Patch 2/4 introduces the watchdog_{suspend|resume} functions which can be utilized by external callers to deactivate the hard and soft lockup detector temporarily. - Patch 3/4 utilizes watchdog_{park|unpark}_threads to replace some code that was introduced by commit 9809b18fcf6b8d8ec4d3643677345907e6b50eca. - Patch 4/4 utilizes watchdog_{suspend|resume} to replace some code that was introduced by commit b3738d29323344da3017a91010530cf3a58590fc. A few corner cases should be mentioned here for completeness. - kthread_park() of watchdog/N could hang if cpu N is already locked up. However, if watchdog is enabled the lockup will be detected anyway. - kthread_unpark() of watchdog/N could hang if cpu N got locked up after kthread_park(). The occurrence of this scenario should be _very_ rare in practice, in particular because it is not expected that temporary deactivation will happen frequently, and if it happens at all it is expected that the duration of deactivation will be short. This patch (of 4): introduce watchdog_park_threads() and watchdog_unpark_threads() These functions are intended to be used only from inside kernel/watchdog.c to park/unpark all watchdog threads that are specified in watchdog_cpumask.

kernel/watchdog.c: print traces for all cpus on lockup detection 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.

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.

lockup_detector: Combine nmi_watchdog and softlockup detector The new nmi_watchdog (which uses the perf event subsystem) is very similar in structure to the softlockup detector. Using Ingo's suggestion, I combined the two functionalities into one file: kernel/watchdog.c. Now both the nmi_watchdog (or hardlockup detector) and softlockup detector sit on top of the perf event subsystem, which is run every 60 seconds or so to see if there are any lockups. To detect hardlockups, cpus not responding to interrupts, I implemented an hrtimer that runs 5 times for every perf event overflow event. If that stops counting on a cpu, then the cpu is most likely in trouble. To detect softlockups, tasks not yielding to the scheduler, I used the previous kthread idea that now gets kicked every time the hrtimer fires. If the kthread isn't being scheduled neither is anyone else and the warning is printed to the console. I tested this on x86_64 and both the softlockup and hardlockup paths work. V2: - cleaned up the Kconfig and softlockup combination - surrounded hardlockup cases with #ifdef CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS_NMI - seperated out the softlockup case from perf event subsystem - re-arranged the enabling/disabling nmi watchdog from proc space - added cpumasks for hardlockup failure cases - removed fallback to soft events if no PMU exists for hard events V3: - comment cleanups - drop support for older softlockup code - per_cpu cleanups - completely remove software clock base hardlockup detector - use per_cpu masking on hard/soft lockup detection - #ifdef cleanups - rename config option NMI_WATCHDOG to LOCKUP_DETECTOR - documentation additions V4: - documentation fixes - convert per_cpu to __get_cpu_var - powerpc compile fixes V5: - split apart warn flags for hard and soft lockups TODO: - figure out how to make an arch-agnostic clock2cycles call (if possible) to feed into perf events as a sample period [fweisbec: merged conflict patch] Signed-off-by: Don Zickus <dzickus@redhat.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@gmail.com> Cc: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Cc: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> LKML-Reference: <1273266711-18706-2-git-send-email-dzickus@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>

It can now be used to control and examine the run state of the hard lockup detector. . watchdog This parameter is still available to control the run state of both lockup detectors at the same time. If this parameter is examined, it shows the logical OR of soft_watchdog and nmi_watchdog. . watchdog_thresh The semantics of this parameter are not affected by the patch. - kernel command line parameters . nosoftlockup The semantics of this parameter have changed. It can now be used to disable the soft lockup detector at boot time. . nmi_watchdog=0 or nmi_watchdog=1 Disable or enable the hard lockup detector at boot time. The patch introduces '=1' as a new option. . nowatchdog The semantics of this parameter are not affected by the patch. It is still available to disable both lockup detectors at boot time.

kernel/watchdog.c: print traces for all cpus on lockup detection 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.

watchdog: add watchdog_cpumask sysctl to assist nohz Change the default behavior of watchdog so it only runs on the housekeeping cores when nohz_full is enabled at build and boot time. Allow modifying the set of cores the watchdog is currently running on with a new kernel.watchdog_cpumask sysctl. In the current system, the watchdog subsystem runs a periodic timer that schedules the watchdog kthread to run. However, nohz_full cores are designed to allow userspace application code running on those cores to have 100% access to the CPU. So the watchdog system prevents the nohz_full application code from being able to run the way it wants to, thus the motivation to suppress the watchdog on nohz_full cores, which this patchset provides by default. However, if we disable the watchdog globally, then the housekeeping cores can't benefit from the watchdog functionality. So we allow disabling it only on some cores.

{
kernel/watchdog.c: touch_nmi_watchdog should only touch local cpu not every one 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.

watchdog: enable the new user interface of the watchdog mechanism With the current user interface of the watchdog mechanism it is only possible to disable or enable both lockup detectors at the same time. This series introduces new kernel parameters and changes the semantics of some existing kernel parameters, so that the hard lockup detector and the soft lockup detector can be disabled or enabled individually. With this series applied, the user interface is as follows. - parameters in /proc/sys/kernel . soft_watchdog This is a new parameter to control and examine the run state of the soft lockup detector. . nmi_watchdog The semantics of this parameter have changed. It can now be used to control and examine the run state of the hard lockup detector. . watchdog This parameter is still available to control the run state of both lockup detectors at the same time. If this parameter is examined, it shows the logical OR of soft_watchdog and nmi_watchdog. . watchdog_thresh The semantics of this parameter are not affected by the patch. - kernel command line parameters . nosoftlockup The semantics of this parameter have changed. It can now be used to disable the soft lockup detector at boot time. . nmi_watchdog=0 or nmi_watchdog=1 Disable or enable the hard lockup detector at boot time. The patch introduces '=1' as a new option. . nowatchdog The semantics of this parameter are not affected by the patch. It is still available to disable both lockup detectors at boot time. Also, remove the proc_dowatchdog() function which is no longer needed.

kernel/watchdog.c: print traces for all cpus on lockup detection 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.

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.

lockup_detector: Combine nmi_watchdog and softlockup detector The new nmi_watchdog (which uses the perf event subsystem) is very similar in structure to the softlockup detector. Using Ingo's suggestion, I combined the two functionalities into one file: kernel/watchdog.c. Now both the nmi_watchdog (or hardlockup detector) and softlockup detector sit on top of the perf event subsystem, which is run every 60 seconds or so to see if there are any lockups. To detect hardlockups, cpus not responding to interrupts, I implemented an hrtimer that runs 5 times for every perf event overflow event. If that stops counting on a cpu, then the cpu is most likely in trouble. To detect softlockups, tasks not yielding to the scheduler, I used the previous kthread idea that now gets kicked every time the hrtimer fires. If the kthread isn't being scheduled neither is anyone else and the warning is printed to the console. I tested this on x86_64 and both the softlockup and hardlockup paths work.

kernel/watchdog.c: print traces for all cpus on lockup detection 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.

watchdog: Register / unregister watchdog kthreads on sysctl control 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: enable the new user interface of the watchdog mechanism With the current user interface of the watchdog mechanism it is only possible to disable or enable both lockup detectors at the same time. This series introduces new kernel parameters and changes the semantics of some existing kernel parameters, so that the hard lockup detector and the soft lockup detector can be disabled or enabled individually. With this series applied, the user interface is as follows. - parameters in /proc/sys/kernel . soft_watchdog This is a new parameter to control and examine the run state of the soft lockup detector. . nmi_watchdog The semantics of this parameter have changed. It can now be used to control and examine the run state of the hard lockup detector. . watchdog This parameter is still available to control the run state of both lockup detectors at the same time. If this parameter is examined, it shows the logical OR of soft_watchdog and nmi_watchdog. . watchdog_thresh The semantics of this parameter are not affected by the patch. - kernel command line parameters . nosoftlockup The semantics of this parameter have changed. It can now be used to disable the soft lockup detector at boot time. . nmi_watchdog=0 or nmi_watchdog=1 Disable or enable the hard lockup detector at boot time. The patch introduces '=1' as a new option. . nowatchdog The semantics of this parameter are not affected by the patch. It is still available to disable both lockup detectors at boot time. Also, remove the proc_dowatchdog() function which is no longer needed.

kernel/watchdog.c: control hard lockup detection default 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.

watchdog: Quiet down the boot messages 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.

watchdog: Register / unregister watchdog kthreads on sysctl control 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: introduce watchdog_park_threads() and watchdog_unpark_threads() Originally watchdog_nmi_enable(cpu) and watchdog_nmi_disable(cpu) were only called in watchdog thread context. However, the following commits utilize these functions outside of watchdog thread context too. commit 9809b18fcf6b8d8ec4d3643677345907e6b50eca Author: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Date: Tue Sep 24 15:27:30 2013 -0700 watchdog: update watchdog_thresh properly commit b3738d29323344da3017a91010530cf3a58590fc Author: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Date: Mon Nov 17 20:07:03 2014 +0100 watchdog: Add watchdog enable/disable all functions Hence, it is now possible that these functions execute concurrently with the same 'cpu' argument. This concurrency is problematic because per-cpu 'watchdog_ev' can be accessed/modified without adequate synchronization. The patch series aims to address the above problem. However, instead of introducing locks to protect per-cpu 'watchdog_ev' a different approach is taken: Invoke these functions by parking and unparking the watchdog threads (to ensure they are always called in watchdog thread context). static struct smp_hotplug_thread watchdog_threads = { ... .park = watchdog_disable, // calls watchdog_nmi_disable() .unpark = watchdog_enable, // calls watchdog_nmi_enable() }; Both previously mentioned commits call these functions in a similar way and thus in principle contain some duplicate code. The patch series also avoids this duplication by providing a commonly usable mechanism. - Patch 1/4 introduces the watchdog_{park|unpark}_threads functions that park/unpark all watchdog threads specified in 'watchdog_cpumask'. They are intended to be called inside of kernel/watchdog.c only. - Patch 2/4 introduces the watchdog_{suspend|resume} functions which can be utilized by external callers to deactivate the hard and soft lockup detector temporarily. - Patch 3/4 utilizes watchdog_{park|unpark}_threads to replace some code that was introduced by commit 9809b18fcf6b8d8ec4d3643677345907e6b50eca. - Patch 4/4 utilizes watchdog_{suspend|resume} to replace some code that was introduced by commit b3738d29323344da3017a91010530cf3a58590fc. A few corner cases should be mentioned here for completeness. - kthread_park() of watchdog/N could hang if cpu N is already locked up. However, if watchdog is enabled the lockup will be detected anyway. - kthread_unpark() of watchdog/N could hang if cpu N got locked up after kthread_park().

/*
* park all watchdog threads that are specified in 'watchdog_cpumask'
*
* This function returns an error if kthread_park() of a watchdog thread
* fails. In this situation, the watchdog threads of some CPUs can already
* be parked and the watchdog threads of other CPUs can still be runnable.
* Callers are expected to handle this special condition as appropriate in
* their context.
*
* This function may only be called in a context that is protected against
* races with CPU hotplug - for example, via get_online_cpus().
watchdog: introduce watchdog_park_threads() and watchdog_unpark_threads() Originally watchdog_nmi_enable(cpu) and watchdog_nmi_disable(cpu) were only called in watchdog thread context. However, the following commits utilize these functions outside of watchdog thread context too. commit 9809b18fcf6b8d8ec4d3643677345907e6b50eca Author: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Date: Tue Sep 24 15:27:30 2013 -0700 watchdog: update watchdog_thresh properly commit b3738d29323344da3017a91010530cf3a58590fc Author: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Date: Mon Nov 17 20:07:03 2014 +0100 watchdog: Add watchdog enable/disable all functions Hence, it is now possible that these functions execute concurrently with the same 'cpu' argument. This concurrency is problematic because per-cpu 'watchdog_ev' can be accessed/modified without adequate synchronization. The patch series aims to address the above problem. However, instead of introducing locks to protect per-cpu 'watchdog_ev' a different approach is taken: Invoke these functions by parking and unparking the watchdog threads (to ensure they are always called in watchdog thread context). static struct smp_hotplug_thread watchdog_threads = { ... .park = watchdog_disable, // calls watchdog_nmi_disable() .unpark = watchdog_enable, // calls watchdog_nmi_enable() }; Both previously mentioned commits call these functions in a similar way and thus in principle contain some duplicate code. The patch series also avoids this duplication by providing a commonly usable mechanism. - Patch 1/4 introduces the watchdog_{park|unpark}_threads functions that park/unpark all watchdog threads specified in 'watchdog_cpumask'. They are intended to be called inside of kernel/watchdog.c only. - Patch 2/4 introduces the watchdog_{suspend|resume} functions which can be utilized by external callers to deactivate the hard and soft lockup detector temporarily. - Patch 3/4 utilizes watchdog_{park|unpark}_threads to replace some code that was introduced by commit 9809b18fcf6b8d8ec4d3643677345907e6b50eca. - Patch 4/4 utilizes watchdog_{suspend|resume} to replace some code that was introduced by commit b3738d29323344da3017a91010530cf3a58590fc. A few corner cases should be mentioned here for completeness. - kthread_park() of watchdog/N could hang if cpu N is already locked up. However, if watchdog is enabled the lockup will be detected anyway. - kthread_unpark() of watchdog/N could hang if cpu N got locked up after kthread_park(). The occurrence of this scenario should be _very_ rare in practice, in particular because it is not expected that temporary deactivation will happen frequently, and if it happens at all it is expected that the duration of deactivation will be short.

watchdog: update watchdog_thresh properly 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).

lockup_detector: Combine nmi_watchdog and softlockup detector The new nmi_watchdog (which uses the perf event subsystem) is very similar in structure to the softlockup detector. Using Ingo's suggestion, I combined the two functionalities into one file: kernel/watchdog.c. Now both the nmi_watchdog (or hardlockup detector) and softlockup detector sit on top of the perf event subsystem, which is run every 60 seconds or so to see if there are any lockups. To detect hardlockups, cpus not responding to interrupts, I implemented an hrtimer that runs 5 times for every perf event overflow event. If that stops counting on a cpu, then the cpu is most likely in trouble. To detect softlockups, tasks not yielding to the scheduler, I used the previous kthread idea that now gets kicked every time the hrtimer fires. If the kthread isn't being scheduled neither is anyone else and the warning is printed to the console. I tested this on x86_64 and both the softlockup and hardlockup paths work.

watchdog: fix error handling in proc_watchdog_thresh() The original watchdog_park_threads() function that was introduced by commit 81a4beef91ba ("watchdog: introduce watchdog_park_threads() and watchdog_unpark_threads()") takes a very simple approach to handle errors returned by kthread_park(): It attempts to roll back all watchdog threads to the unparked state. However, this may be undesired behaviour from the perspective of the caller which may want to handle errors as appropriate in its specific context. Currently, there are two possible call chains: - watchdog suspend/resume interface lockup_detector_suspend watchdog_park_threads - write to parameters in /proc/sys/kernel proc_watchdog_update watchdog_enable_all_cpus update_watchdog_all_cpus watchdog_park_threads Instead of 'blindly' attempting to unpark the watchdog threads if a kthread_park() call fails, the new approach is to disable the lockup detectors in the above call chains. Failure becomes visible to the user as follows: - error messages from lockup_detector_suspend() or watchdog_enable_all_cpus() - the state that can be read from /proc/sys/kernel/watchdog_enabled - the 'write' system call in the latter call chain returns an error I did not experience kthread_park() failures in practice, I used some instrumentation to fake error returns from kthread_park() in order to test the patches.

watchdog: fix error handling in proc_watchdog_thresh() The original watchdog_park_threads() function that was introduced by commit 81a4beef91ba ("watchdog: introduce watchdog_park_threads() and watchdog_unpark_threads()") takes a very simple approach to handle errors returned by kthread_park(): It attempts to roll back all watchdog threads to the unparked state. However, this may be undesired behaviour from the perspective of the caller which may want to handle errors as appropriate in its specific context. Currently, there are two possible call chains: - watchdog suspend/resume interface lockup_detector_suspend watchdog_park_threads - write to parameters in /proc/sys/kernel proc_watchdog_update watchdog_enable_all_cpus update_watchdog_all_cpus watchdog_park_threads Instead of 'blindly' attempting to unpark the watchdog threads if a kthread_park() call fails, the new approach is to disable the lockup detectors in the above call chains. Failure becomes visible to the user as follows: - error messages from lockup_detector_suspend() or watchdog_enable_all_cpus() - the state that can be read from /proc/sys/kernel/watchdog_enabled - the 'write' system call in the latter call chain returns an error I did not experience kthread_park() failures in practice, I used some instrumentation to fake error returns from kthread_park() in order to test the patches.

watchdog: Register / unregister watchdog kthreads on sysctl control 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.

lockup_detector: Combine nmi_watchdog and softlockup detector The new nmi_watchdog (which uses the perf event subsystem) is very similar in structure to the softlockup detector. Using Ingo's suggestion, I combined the two functionalities into one file: kernel/watchdog.c. Now both the nmi_watchdog (or hardlockup detector) and softlockup detector sit on top of the perf event subsystem, which is run every 60 seconds or so to see if there are any lockups. To detect hardlockups, cpus not responding to interrupts, I implemented an hrtimer that runs 5 times for every perf event overflow event. If that stops counting on a cpu, then the cpu is most likely in trouble. To detect softlockups, tasks not yielding to the scheduler, I used the previous kthread idea that now gets kicked every time the hrtimer fires. If the kthread isn't being scheduled neither is anyone else and the warning is printed to the console. I tested this on x86_64 and both the softlockup and hardlockup paths work. V2: - cleaned up the Kconfig and softlockup combination - surrounded hardlockup cases with #ifdef CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS_NMI - seperated out the softlockup case from perf event subsystem - re-arranged the enabling/disabling nmi watchdog from proc space - added cpumasks for hardlockup failure cases - removed fallback to soft events if no PMU exists for hard events V3: - comment cleanups - drop support for older softlockup code - per_cpu cleanups - completely remove software clock base hardlockup detector - use per_cpu masking on hard/soft lockup detection - #ifdef cleanups - rename config option NMI_WATCHDOG to LOCKUP_DETECTOR - documentation additions V4: - documentation fixes - convert per_cpu to __get_cpu_var - powerpc compile fixes V5: - split apart warn flags for hard and soft lockups TODO: - figure out how to make an arch-agnostic clock2cycles call (if possible) to feed into perf events as a sample period [fweisbec: merged conflict patch] Signed-off-by: Don Zickus <dzickus@redhat.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@gmail.com> Cc: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Cc: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> LKML-Reference: <1273266711-18706-2-git-send-email-dzickus@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>

watchdog: add watchdog_cpumask sysctl to assist nohz Change the default behavior of watchdog so it only runs on the housekeeping cores when nohz_full is enabled at build and boot time. Allow modifying the set of cores the watchdog is currently running on with a new kernel.watchdog_cpumask sysctl. In the current system, the watchdog subsystem runs a periodic timer that schedules the watchdog kthread to run. However, nohz_full cores are designed to allow userspace application code running on those cores to have 100% access to the CPU. So the watchdog system prevents the nohz_full application code from being able to run the way it wants to, thus the motivation to suppress the watchdog on nohz_full cores, which this patchset provides by default. However, if we disable the watchdog globally, then the housekeeping cores can't benefit from the watchdog functionality. So we allow disabling it only on some cores.

watchdog: enable the new user interface of the watchdog mechanism With the current user interface of the watchdog mechanism it is only possible to disable or enable both lockup detectors at the same time. This series introduces new kernel parameters and changes the semantics of some existing kernel parameters, so that the hard lockup detector and the soft lockup detector can be disabled or enabled individually. With this series applied, the user interface is as follows. - parameters in /proc/sys/kernel . soft_watchdog This is a new parameter to control and examine the run state of the soft lockup detector. . nmi_watchdog The semantics of this parameter have changed. It can now be used to control and examine the run state of the hard lockup detector. . watchdog This parameter is still available to control the run state of both lockup detectors at the same time. If this parameter is examined, it shows the logical OR of soft_watchdog and nmi_watchdog. . watchdog_thresh The semantics of this parameter are not affected by the patch. - kernel command line parameters . nosoftlockup The semantics of this parameter have changed. It can now be used to disable the soft lockup detector at boot time. . nmi_watchdog=0 or nmi_watchdog=1 Disable or enable the hard lockup detector at boot time. The patch introduces '=1' as a new option. . nowatchdog The semantics of this parameter are not affected by the patch. It is still available to disable both lockup detectors at boot time. Also, remove the proc_dowatchdog() function which is no longer needed.

lockup_detector: Combine nmi_watchdog and softlockup detector The new nmi_watchdog (which uses the perf event subsystem) is very similar in structure to the softlockup detector. Using Ingo's suggestion, I combined the two functionalities into one file: kernel/watchdog.c. Now both the nmi_watchdog (or hardlockup detector) and softlockup detector sit on top of the perf event subsystem, which is run every 60 seconds or so to see if there are any lockups. To detect hardlockups, cpus not responding to interrupts, I implemented an hrtimer that runs 5 times for every perf event overflow event. If that stops counting on a cpu, then the cpu is most likely in trouble. To detect softlockups, tasks not yielding to the scheduler, I used the previous kthread idea that now gets kicked every time the hrtimer fires. If the kthread isn't being scheduled neither is anyone else and the warning is printed to the console. I tested this on x86_64 and both the softlockup and hardlockup paths work. V2: - cleaned up the Kconfig and softlockup combination - surrounded hardlockup cases with #ifdef CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS_NMI - seperated out the softlockup case from perf event subsystem - re-arranged the enabling/disabling nmi watchdog from proc space - added cpumasks for hardlockup failure cases - removed fallback to soft events if no PMU exists for hard events V3: - comment cleanups - drop support for older softlockup code - per_cpu cleanups - completely remove software clock base hardlockup detector - use per_cpu masking on hard/soft lockup detection - #ifdef cleanups - rename config option NMI_WATCHDOG to LOCKUP_DETECTOR - documentation additions V4: - documentation fixes - convert per_cpu to __get_cpu_var - powerpc compile fixes V5: - split apart warn flags for hard and soft lockups TODO: - figure out how to make an arch-agnostic clock2cycles call (if possible) to feed into perf events as a sample period [fweisbec: merged conflict patch] Signed-off-by: Don Zickus <dzickus@redhat.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@gmail.com> Cc: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Cc: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> LKML-Reference: <1273266711-18706-2-git-send-email-dzickus@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>
