Originally watchdog_nmi_enable(cpu) and watchdog_nmi_disable(cpu) were

watchdog: update watchdog_thresh properly
commit b3738d2932
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 9809b18fcf.
- Patch 4/4 utilizes watchdog_{suspend|resume} to replace some code that
was introduced by commit b3738d2932.
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.

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. See Documentation/lockup-watchdogs.txt
for more information.

Two watchdog changes that came through different trees had a non
conflicting conflict, that is, one changed the semantics of a variable
but no actual code conflict happened. So the merge appeared fine, but
the resulting code did not behave as expected.
Commit 195daf665a ("watchdog: enable the new user interface of the
watchdog mechanism") changes the semantics of watchdog_user_enabled,
which thereafter is only used by the functions introduced by
b3738d2932 ("watchdog: Add watchdog enable/disable all functions").
There further appears to be a distinct lack of serialization between
setting and using watchdog_enabled, so perhaps we should wrap the
{en,dis}able_all() things in watchdog_proc_mutex.
This patch fixes a s2r failure reported by Michal; which I cannot

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.

Three of four handlers for the watchdog parameters in /proc/sys/kernel
essentially have to do the same thing.
if the parameter is being read {
return the state of the corresponding bit(s) in 'watchdog_enabled'
} else {
set/clear the state of the corresponding bit(s) in 'watchdog_enabled'
update the run state of the lockup detector(s)
}
Hence, introduce a common function that can be called by those handlers.
The callers pass a 'bit mask' to this function to indicate which bit(s)
should be set/cleared in 'watchdog_enabled'.
This function handles an uncommon race with watchdog_nmi_enable() where a
concurrent update of 'watchdog_enabled' is possible. We use 'cmpxchg' to
detect the concurrency. [This avoids introducing a new spinlock or a
mutex to synchronize updates of 'watchdog_enabled'. Using the same lock
or mutex in watchdog thread context and in system call context needs to be
considered carefully because it can make the code prone to deadlock
situations in connection with parking/unparking the watchdog threads.]

The hardlockup and softockup had always been tied together. Due to the
request of KVM folks, they had a need to have one enabled but not the
other. Internally rework the code to split things apart more cleanly.
There is a bunch of churn here, but the end result should be code that
should be easier to maintain and fix without knowing the internals of what
is going on.
This patch (of 9):
Introduce new definitions and variables to separate the user interface in
/proc/sys/kernel from the internal run state of the lockup detectors. The
internal run state is represented by two bits in a new variable that is
named 'watchdog_enabled'. This helps simplify the code, for example:
- In order to check if any of the two lockup detectors is enabled,
it is sufficient to check if 'watchdog_enabled' is not zero.
- In order to enable/disable one or both lockup detectors,
it is sufficient to set/clear one or both bits in 'watchdog_enabled'.
- Concurrent updates of 'watchdog_enabled' need not be synchronized via
a spinlock or a mutex. Updates can either be atomic or concurrency can
be detected by using 'cmpxchg'.

When the hypervisor pauses a virtualised kernel the kernel will observe a
jump in timebase, this can cause spurious messages from the softlockup
detector.
Whilst these messages are harmless, they are accompanied with a stack
trace which causes undue concern and more problematically the stack trace
in the guest has nothing to do with the observed problem and can only be
misleading.
Futhermore, on POWER8 this is completely avoidable with the introduction
of the Virtual Time Base (VTB) register.
This patch (of 2):
This permits the use of arch specific clocks for which virtualised kernels
can use their notion of 'running' time, not the elpased wall time which
will include host execution time.

Pull percpu consistent-ops changes from Tejun Heo:
"Way back, before the current percpu allocator was implemented, static
and dynamic percpu memory areas were allocated and handled separately
and had their own accessors. The distinction has been gone for many
years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained
with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other
operations over time. During the process, we also accumulated other
inconsistent operations.
This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the
duplicate accessor situation. __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with
with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr().
Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit
messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to
a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of
this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr().
This converts most of the uses but not all. Christoph will follow up
with the remaining conversions in this merge window and hopefully
remove the obsolete accessors"

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.

For now, soft lockup detector warns once for each case of process
softlockup. But the thread 'watchdog/n' may not always get the cpu at the
time slot between the task switch of two processes hogging that cpu to
reset soft_watchdog_warn.
An example would be two processes hogging the cpu. Process A causes the
softlockup warning and is killed manually by a user. Process B
immediately becomes the new process hogging the cpu preventing the
softlockup code from resetting the soft_watchdog_warn variable.
This case is a false negative of "warn only once for a process", as there
may be a different process that is going to hog the cpu. Resolve this by
saving/checking the task pointer of the hogging process and use that to
reset soft_watchdog_warn too.

Most of these are the uses of &__raw_get_cpu_var for address calculation.
touch_softlockup_watchdog_sync() uses __raw_get_cpu_var to write to
per cpu variables. Use __this_cpu_write instead.

This patch avoids printing the message 'enabled on all CPUs,
...' multiple times. For example, the issue can occur in the
following scenario:
1) watchdog_nmi_enable() fails to enable PMU counters and sets
cpu0_err.
2) 'echo [0|1] > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog' is executed to
disable and re-enable the watchdog mechanism 'on the fly'.
3) If watchdog_nmi_enable() succeeds to enable PMU counters,
each CPU will print the message because step1 left behind a
non-zero cpu0_err.
if (!IS_ERR(event)) {
if (cpu == 0 || cpu0_err)
pr_info("enabled on all CPUs, ...")
The patch avoids this by clearing cpu0_err in watchdog_nmi_disable().

This taint flag will be set if the system has ever entered a softlockup
state. Similar to TAINT_WARN it is useful to know whether or not the
system has been in a softlockup state when debugging.

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.

NMI watchdog: disabled (cpu0): hardware events not enabled
What happened is after updating the watchdog_thresh, the lockup detector
is restarted to utilize the new value. Part of this process involved
disabling preemption. Once preemption was disabled, perf tried to
allocate a new event (as part of the restart). This caused the above
BUG_ON as you can't sleep with preemption disabled.
The preemption restriction seemed agressive as we are not doing anything
on that particular cpu, but with all the online cpus (which are
protected by the get_online_cpus lock). Remove the restriction and the
BUG_ON goes away.

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

In order to remotely restart the watchdog hrtimer, update_timers()
allocates a csd on the stack and pass it to __smp_call_function_single().
There is no partcular need, however, for a specific csd here. Lets
simplify that a little by calling smp_call_function_single()
which can already take care of the csd allocation by itself.

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).

proc_dowatchdog doesn't synchronize multiple callers which might lead to
confusion when two parallel callers might confuse watchdog_enable_all_cpus
resp watchdog_disable_all_cpus (eg watchdog gets enabled even if
watchdog_thresh was set to 0 already).
This patch adds a local mutex which synchronizes callers to the sysctl

A perf event can be used without forcing the tick to
stay alive if it doesn't use a frequency but a sample
period and if it doesn't throttle (raise storm of events).
Since the lockup detector neither use a perf event frequency
nor should ever throttle due to its high period, it can now
run concurrently with the full dynticks feature.
So remove the hack that disabled the watchdog.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Commit 8d4516904b ("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

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.
