Both multi_cpu_stop() and set_state() access multi_stop_data::state
racily using plain accesses. These are subject to compiler
transformations which could break the intended behaviour of the code,
and this situation is detected by KCSAN on both arm64 and x86 (splats
below).
Improve matters by using READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() to ensure that the
compiler cannot elide, replay, or tear loads and stores.
In multi_cpu_stop() the two loads of multi_stop_data::state are expected to
be a consistent value, so snapshot the value into a temporary variable to
ensure this.
The state transitions are serialized by atomic manipulation of
multi_stop_data::num_threads, and other fields in multi_stop_data are not
modified while subject to concurrent reads.

stop_machine is the only user left of cpu_relax_yield. Given that it
now has special semantics which are tied to stop_machine introduce a
weak stop_machine_yield function which architectures can override, and
get rid of the generic cpu_relax_yield implementation.

The stop_machine loop to advance the state machine and to wait for all
affected CPUs to check-in calls cpu_relax_yield in a tight loop until
the last missing CPUs acknowledged the state transition.
On a virtual system where not all logical CPUs are backed by real CPUs
all the time it can take a while for all CPUs to check-in. With the
current definition of cpu_relax_yield a diagnose 0x44 is done which
tells the hypervisor to schedule *some* other CPU. That can be any
CPU and not necessarily one of the CPUs that need to run in order to
advance the state machine. This can lead to a pretty bad diagnose 0x44
storm until the last missing CPU finally checked-in.
Replace the undirected cpu_relax_yield based on diagnose 0x44 with a
directed yield. Each CPU in the wait loop will pick up the next CPU
in the cpumask of stop_machine. The diagnose 0x9c is used to tell the
hypervisor to run this next CPU instead of the current one. If there
is only a limited number of real CPUs backing the virtual CPUs we
end up with the real CPUs passed around in a round-robin fashion.

This commit:
9fb8d5dc4b ("stop_machine, Disable preemption when waking two stopper threads")
does not fully address the race condition that can occur
as follows:
On one CPU, call it CPU 3, thread 1 invokes
cpu_stop_queue_two_works(2, 3,...), and the execution is such
that thread 1 queues the works for migration/2 and migration/3,
and is preempted after releasing the locks for migration/2 and
migration/3, but before waking the threads.
Then, On CPU 2, a kworker, call it thread 2, is running,
and it invokes cpu_stop_queue_two_works(1, 2,...), such that
thread 2 queues the works for migration/1 and migration/2.
Meanwhile, on CPU 3, thread 1 resumes execution, and wakes
migration/2 and migration/3. This means that when CPU 2
releases the locks for migration/1 and migration/2, but before
it wakes those threads, it can be preempted by migration/2.
If thread 2 is preempted by migration/2, then migration/2 will
execute the first work item successfully, since migration/3
was woken up by CPU 3, but when it goes to execute the second
work item, it disables preemption, calls multi_cpu_stop(),
and thus, CPU 2 will wait forever for migration/1, which should
have been woken up by thread 2. However migration/1 cannot be
woken up by thread 2, since it is a kworker, so it is affine to
CPU 2, but CPU 2 is running migration/2 with preemption
disabled, so thread 2 will never run.
Disable preemption after queueing works for stopper threads
to ensure that the operation of queueing the works and waking
the stopper threads is atomic.

When cpu_stop_queue_two_works() begins to wake the stopper threads, it does
so without preemption disabled, which leads to the following race
condition:
The source CPU calls cpu_stop_queue_two_works(), with cpu1 as the source
CPU, and cpu2 as the destination CPU. When adding the stopper threads to
the wake queue used in this function, the source CPU stopper thread is
added first, and the destination CPU stopper thread is added last.
When wake_up_q() is invoked to wake the stopper threads, the threads are
woken up in the order that they are queued in, so the source CPU's stopper
thread is woken up first, and it preempts the thread running on the source
CPU.
The stopper thread will then execute on the source CPU, disable preemption,
and begin executing multi_cpu_stop(), and wait for an ack from the
destination CPU's stopper thread, with preemption still disabled. Since the
worker thread that woke up the stopper thread on the source CPU is affine
to the source CPU, and preemption is disabled on the source CPU, that
thread will never run to dequeue the destination CPU's stopper thread from
the wake queue, and thus, the destination CPU's stopper thread will never
run, causing the source CPU's stopper thread to wait forever, and stall.
Disable preemption when waking the stopper threads in
cpu_stop_queue_two_works().

Matt reported the following deadlock:
CPU0 CPU1
schedule(.prev=migrate/0) <fault>
pick_next_task() ...
idle_balance() migrate_swap()
active_balance() stop_two_cpus()
spin_lock(stopper0->lock)
spin_lock(stopper1->lock)
ttwu(migrate/0)
smp_cond_load_acquire() -- waits for schedule()
stop_one_cpu(1)
spin_lock(stopper1->lock) -- waits for stopper lock
Fix this deadlock by taking the wakeups out from under stopper->lock.
This allows the active_balance() to queue the stop work and finish the
context switch, which in turn allows the wakeup from migrate_swap() to
observe the context and complete the wakeup.

stop_machine() calls get_online_cpus() as well, which is possible in the

Some time ago the following commit:
57f2ffe14f ("s390: remove diag 44 calls from cpu_relax()")
... stopped cpu_relax() on s390 yielding to the hypervisor.
As it turns out this made stop_machine() run really slow on virtualized
overcommited systems. For example the kprobes test during bootup took
several seconds instead of just running unnoticed with large guests.
Therefore, yielding was reintroduced with commit:
4d92f50249 ("s390: reintroduce diag 44 calls for cpu_relax()")
... but in fact the stop machine code seems to be the only place where
this yielding was really necessary. This place is probably the most
important one as it makes all but one guest CPUs wait for one guest CPU.
As we now have cpu_relax_yield(), we can use this in multi_cpu_stop().
For now lets only add it here. We can add it later in other places
when necessary.

stop_two_cpus() and stop_cpus() use stop_cpus_lock to avoid the deadlock,
we need to ensure that the stopper functions can't be queued "backwards"
from one another. This doesn't look nice; if we use lglock then we do not
really need stopper->lock, cpu_stop_queue_work() could use lg_local_lock()
under local_irq_save().
OTOH it would be even better to avoid lglock in stop_machine.c and remove
lg_double_lock(). This patch adds "bool stop_cpus_in_progress" set/cleared
by queue_stop_cpus_work(), and changes cpu_stop_queue_two_works() to busy
wait until it is cleared.
queue_stop_cpus_work() sets stop_cpus_in_progress = T lockless, but after
it queues a work on CPU1 it must be visible to stop_two_cpus(CPU1, CPU2)
which checks it under the same lock. And since stop_two_cpus() holds the
2nd lock too, queue_stop_cpus_work() can not clear stop_cpus_in_progress
if it is also going to queue a work on CPU2, it needs to take that 2nd
lock to do this.

Suppose that stop_machine(fn) hangs because fn() hangs. In this case NMI
hard-lockup can be triggered on another CPU which does nothing wrong and
the trace from nmi_panic() won't help to investigate the problem.
And this change "fixes" the problem we (seem to) hit in practice.
- stop_two_cpus(0, 1) races with show_state_filter() running on CPU_0.
- CPU_1 already spins in MULTI_STOP_PREPARE state, it detects the soft
lockup and tries to report the problem.
- show_state_filter() enables preemption, CPU_0 calls multi_cpu_stop()
which goes to MULTI_STOP_DISABLE_IRQ state and disables interrupts.
- CPU_1 spends more than 10 seconds trying to flush the log buffer to
the slow serial console.
- NMI interrupt on CPU_0 (which now waits for CPU_1) calls nmi_panic().

Currently the full stop_machine() routine is only enabled on SMP if
module unloading is enabled, or if the CPUs are hotpluggable. This
leads to configurations where stop_machine() is broken as it will then
only run the callback on the local CPU with irqs disabled, and not stop
the other CPUs or run the callback on them.
For example, this breaks MTRR setup on x86 in certain configs since
ea8596bb2d ("kprobes/x86: Remove unused text_poke_smp() and
text_poke_smp_batch() functions") as the MTRR is only established on the
boot CPU.
This patch removes the Kconfig option for STOP_MACHINE and uses the SMP
and HOTPLUG_CPU config options to compile the correct stop_machine() for
the architecture, removing the false dependency on MODULE_UNLOAD in the
process.

1. Change this code to use preempt_count_inc/preempt_count_dec; this way
it works even if CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT=n, and we avoid the unnecessary
__preempt_schedule() check (stop_sched_class is not preemptible).
And this makes clear that we only want to make preempt_count() != 0
for __might_sleep() / schedule_debug().
2. Change WARN_ONCE() to use %pf to print the function name and remove
kallsyms_lookup/ksym_buf.
3. Move "int ret" into the "if (work)" block, this looks more consistent.

Change cpu_stop_queue_work() to return true if the work was queued and
change stop_one_cpu_nowait() to return the result of cpu_stop_queue_work().
This makes it more useful, for example now you can alloc cpu_stop_work for
stop_one_cpu_nowait() and free it in the callback or if stop_one_cpu_nowait()
fails, currently this is impossible because you can't know if @fn will be
called or not.
Also, this allows to kill cpu_stop_done->executed, see the next changes.

1. Change smpboot_unpark_thread() to check ->selfparking, just
like smpboot_park_thread() does.
2. Introduce stop_machine_unpark() which sets ->enabled and calls
kthread_unpark().
3. Change smpboot_thread_call() and cpu_stop_init() to call
stop_machine_unpark() by hand.
This way:
- IMO the ->selfparking logic becomes more consistent.
- We can kill the smp_hotplug_thread->pre_unpark() method.
- We can easily unpark the stopper thread earlier. Say, we
can move stop_machine_unpark() from smpboot_thread_call()
to sched_cpu_active() as Peter suggests.

cpu_stop_queue_work() checks stopper->enabled before it queues the
work, but ->enabled == T can only guarantee cpu_stop_signal_done()
if we race with cpu_down().
This is not enough for stop_two_cpus() or stop_machine(), they will
deadlock if multi_cpu_stop() won't be called by one of the target
CPU's. stop_machine/stop_cpus are fine, they rely on stop_cpus_mutex.
But stop_two_cpus() has to check cpu_active() to avoid the same race
with hotplug, and this check is very unobvious and probably not even
correct if we race with cpu_up().
Change cpu_down() pass to clear ->enabled before cpu_stopper_thread()
flushes the pending ->works and returns with KTHREAD_SHOULD_PARK set.
Note also that smpboot_thread_call() calls cpu_stop_unpark() which
sets enabled == T at CPU_ONLINE stage, so this CPU can't go away until
cpu_stopper_thread() is called at least once. This all means that if
cpu_stop_queue_work() succeeds, we know that work->fn() will be called.

4 11 13
cpuM: queue(4 ,13)
*Ma
cpuN: queue(13,11)
*N Na
*M Mb
cpuO: queue(11, 4)
*O Oa
*Nb
*Ob
Where *X denotes the cpu running the queueing of cpu-X and X[ab] denotes
the first/second queued work.
You'll observe the top of the workqueue for each cpu: 4,11,13 to be work
from cpus: M, O, N resp. IOW. deadlock.
Do away with the queueing trickery and introduce lg_double_lock() to
lock both CPUs and fully serialize the stop_two_cpus() callers instead
of the partial (and buggy) serialization we have now.

There is a race between stop_two_cpus, and the global stop_cpus.
It is possible for two CPUs to get their stopper functions queued
"backwards" from one another, resulting in the stopper threads
getting stuck, and the system hanging. This can happen because
queuing up stoppers is not synchronized.
This patch adds synchronization between stop_cpus (a rare operation),
and stop_two_cpus.

Remove get_online_cpus() usage from the scheduler; there's 4 sites that
use it:
- sched_init_smp(); where its completely superfluous since we're in
'early' boot and there simply cannot be any hotplugging.
- sched_getaffinity(); we already take a raw spinlock to protect the
task cpus_allowed mask, this disables preemption and therefore
also stabilizes cpu_online_mask as that's modified using
stop_machine. However switch to active mask for symmetry with
sched_setaffinity()/set_cpus_allowed_ptr(). We guarantee active
mask stability by inserting sync_rcu/sched() into _cpu_down.
- sched_setaffinity(); we don't appear to need get_online_cpus()
either, there's two sites where hotplug appears relevant:
* cpuset_cpus_allowed(); for the !cpuset case we use possible_mask,
for the cpuset case we hold task_lock, which is a spinlock and
thus for mainline disables preemption (might cause pain on RT).
* set_cpus_allowed_ptr(); Holds all scheduler locks and thus has
preemption properly disabled; also it already deals with hotplug
races explicitly where it releases them.
- migrate_swap(); we can make stop_two_cpus() do the heavy lifting for
us with a little trickery. By adding a sync_sched/rcu() after the
CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifier we can provide preempt/rcu guarantees for
cpu_active_mask. Use these to validate that both our cpus are active
when queueing the stop work before we queue the stop_machine works
for take_cpu_down().

Introduce stop_two_cpus() in order to allow controlled swapping of two
tasks. It repurposes the stop_machine() state machine but only stops
the two cpus which we can do with on-stack structures and avoid
machine wide synchronization issues.
The ordering of CPUs is important to avoid deadlocks. If unordered then
two cpus calling stop_two_cpus on each other simultaneously would attempt
to queue in the opposite order on each CPU causing an AB-BA style deadlock.
By always having the lowest number CPU doing the queueing of works, we can
guarantee that works are always queued in the same order, and deadlocks
are avoided.

commit 14e568e78 (stop_machine: Use smpboot threads) introduced the
following regression:
Before this commit the stopper enabled bit was set in the online
notifier.
CPU0 CPU1
cpu_up
cpu online
hotplug_notifier(ONLINE)
stopper(CPU1)->enabled = true;
...
stop_machine()
The conversion to smpboot threads moved the enablement to the wakeup
path of the parked thread. The majority of users seem to have the
following working order:
CPU0 CPU1
cpu_up
cpu online
unpark_threads()
wakeup(stopper[CPU1])
....
stopper thread runs
stopper(CPU1)->enabled = true;
stop_machine()
But Konrad and Sander have observed:
CPU0 CPU1
cpu_up
cpu online
unpark_threads()
wakeup(stopper[CPU1])
....
stop_machine()
stopper thread runs
stopper(CPU1)->enabled = true;
Now the stop machinery kicks CPU0 into the stop loop, where it gets
stuck forever because the queue code saw stopper(CPU1)->enabled ==
false, so CPU0 waits for CPU1 to enter stomp_machine, but the CPU1
stopper work got discarded due to enabled == false.
Add a pre_unpark function to the smpboot thread descriptor and call it
before waking the thread.
This fixes the problem at hand, but the stop_machine code should be
more robust. The stopper->enabled flag smells fishy at best.
Thanks to Konrad for going through a loop of debug patches and
providing the information to decode this issue.
