If, as part of handling a hardlockup or softlockup, we've already dumped
all CPUs and we're just about to panic, don't reenable dumping and give
some other CPU a chance to hop in there and add some confusing logs right
as the panic is happening.

watchdog/hardlockup: use printk_cpu_sync_get_irqsave() to serialize reporting

If two CPUs end up reporting a hardlockup at the same time then their logs
could get interleaved which is hard to read.

watchdog/hardlockup: use printk_cpu_sync_get_irqsave() to serialize reporting

If two CPUs end up reporting a hardlockup at the same time then their logs
could get interleaved which is hard to read.

The interleaving problem was especially bad with the "perf" hardlockup
detector where the locked up CPU is always the same as the running CPU and
we end up in show_regs(). show_regs() has no inherent serialization so we
could mix together two crawls if two hardlockups happened at the same time
(and if we didn't have `sysctl_hardlockup_all_cpu_backtrace` set). With
this change we'll fully serialize hardlockups when using the "perf"
hardlockup detector.

The interleaving problem was less bad with the "buddy" hardlockup
detector. With "buddy" we always end up calling
`trigger_single_cpu_backtrace(cpu)` on some CPU other than the running
one. trigger_single_cpu_backtrace() always at least serializes the
individual stack crawls because it eventually uses
printk_cpu_sync_get_irqsave(). Unfortunately the fact that
trigger_single_cpu_backtrace() eventually calls
printk_cpu_sync_get_irqsave() (on a different CPU) means that we have to
drop the "lock" before calling it and we can't fully serialize all
printouts associated with a given hardlockup. However, we still do get
the advantage of serializing the output of print_modules() and
print_irqtrace_events().

Aside from serializing hardlockups from each other, this change also has
the advantage of serializing hardlockups and softlockups from each other
if they happen to happen at the same time since they are both using the
same "lock".

Even though nobody is expected to hang while holding the lock associated
with printk_cpu_sync_get_irqsave(), out of an abundance of caution, we
don't call printk_cpu_sync_get_irqsave() until after we print out about
the hardlockup. This makes extra sure that, even if
printk_cpu_sync_get_irqsave() somehow never runs we at least print that we
saw the hardlockup. This is different than the choice made for softlockup
because hardlockup is really our last resort.

watchdog/softlockup: use printk_cpu_sync_get_irqsave() to serialize reporting

Instead of introducing a spinlock, use printk_cpu_sync_get_irqsave() and
printk_cpu_sync_put_irqrestore() to serialize softlockup reporting. Alone
this doesn't have any real advantage over the spinlock, but this will
allow us to use the same function in a future change to also serialize
hardlockup crawls.

NOTE: for the most part this serialization is important because we often
end up in the show_regs() path and that has no built-in serialization if
there are multiple callers at once. However, even in the case where we
end up in the dump_stack() path this still has some advantages because the
stack will be guaranteed to be together in the logs with the lockup
message with no interleaving.

NOTE: the fact that printk_cpu_sync_get_irqsave() is allowed to be called
multiple times on the same CPU is important here. Specifically we hold
the "lock" while calling dump_stack() which also gets the same "lock".
This is explicitly documented to be OK and means we don't need to
introduce a variant of dump_stack() that doesn't grab the lock.

watchdog/hardlockup: adopt softlockup logic avoiding double-dumps

Patch series "watchdog: Better handling of concurrent lockups".

When we get multiple lockups at roughly the same time, the output in the
kernel logs can be very confusing since the reports about the lockups end
up interleaved in the logs. There is some code in the kernel to try to
handle this but it wasn't that complete.

Li Zhe recently made this a bit better for softlockups (specifically for
the case where `kernel.softlockup_all_cpu_backtrace` is not set) in commit
9d02330abd3e ("softlockup: serialized softlockup's log"), but that only
handled softlockup reports. Hardlockup reports still had similar issues.

This series also has a small fix to avoid dumping all stacks a second time
in the case of a panic. This is a bit unrelated to the interleaving fixes
but it does also improve the clarity of lockup reports.


This patch (of 4):

The hardlockup detector and softlockup detector both have the ability to
dump the stack of all CPUs (`kernel.hardlockup_all_cpu_backtrace` and
`kernel.softlockup_all_cpu_backtrace`). Both detectors also have some
logic to attempt to avoid interleaving printouts if two CPUs were trying
to do dumps of all CPUs at the same time. However:

- The hardlockup detector's logic still allowed interleaving some
information. Specifically another CPU could print modules and dump
the stack of the locked CPU at the same time we were dumping all
CPUs.

- In the case where `kernel.hardlockup_panic` was set in addition to
`kernel.hardlockup_all_cpu_backtrace`, when two CPUs both detected
hardlockups at the same time the second CPU could call panic() while
the first was still dumping stacks. This was especially bad if the
locked up CPU wasn't responding to the request for a backtrace since
the function nmi_trigger_cpumask_backtrace() can wait up to 10
seconds.

Let's resolve this by adopting the softlockup logic in the hardlockup
handler.

NOTES:

- As part of this, one might think that we should make a helper
function that both the hard and softlockup detectors call. This
turns out not to be super trivial since it would have to be
parameterized quite a bit since there are separate global variables
controlling each lockup detector and they print log messages that
are just different enough that it would be a pain. We probably don't
want to change the messages that are printed without good reason to
avoid throwing log parsers for a loop.

- One might also think that it would be a good idea to have the
hardlockup and softlockup detector use the same global variable to
prevent interleaving. This would make sure that softlockups and
hardlockups can't interleave each other. That _almost_ works but has
a dangerous flaw if `kernel.hardlockup_panic` is not the same as
`kernel.softlockup_panic` because we might skip a call to panic() if
one type of lockup was detected at the same time as another.

If multiple CPUs trigger softlockup at the same time with

staggeredly in dmesg, which will affect the viewing of the logs for
developer. Since the code path for outputting softlockup logs is not a
kernel hotspot and the performance requirements for the code are not
strict, locks are used to serialize the softlockup log output to improve
the readability of the logs.

watchdog: move softlockup_panic back to early_param

Setting softlockup_panic from do_sysctl_args() causes it to take effect
later in boot. The lockup detector is enabled before SMP is brought
online, but do_sysctl_args runs afterwards. If a user wants to set
softlockup_panic on boot and have it trigger should a softlockup occur
during onlining of the non-boot processors, they could do this prior to
commit f117955a2255 ("kernel/watchdog.c: convert {soft/hard}lockup boot
parameters to sysctl aliases"). However, after this commit the value
of softlockup_panic is set too late to be of help for this type of
problem. Restore the prior behavior.

stack in watchdog_hardlockup_check(). On systems with CONFIG_NR_CPUS set
to 8192 this takes up 1K on the stack. That triggers warnings with

nmi_backtrace: allow excluding an arbitrary CPU

The APIs that allow backtracing across CPUs have always had a way to
exclude the current CPU. This convenience means callers didn't need to
find a place to allocate a CPU mask just to handle the common case.

Let's extend the API to take a CPU ID to exclude instead of just a
boolean. This isn't any more complex for the API to handle and allows the
hardlockup detector to exclude a different CPU (the one it already did a
trace for) without needing to find space for a CPU mask.

Arguably, this new API also encourages safer behavior. Specifically if
the caller wants to avoid tracing the current CPU (maybe because they
already traced the current CPU) this makes it more obvious to the caller
that they need to make sure that the current CPU ID can't change.

There are several hardlockup detector implementations and several Kconfig

C

watchdog/hardlockup: make HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG sparc64-specific

There are several hardlockup detector implementations and several Kconfig
values which allow selection and build of the preferred one.

CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR was introduced by the commit 23637d477c1f53acb
("lockup_detector: Introduce CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR") in v2.6.36.
It was a preparation step for introducing the new generic perf hardlockup
detector.

The existing arch-specific variants did not support the to-be-created
generic build configurations, sysctl interface, etc. This distinction
was made explicit by the commit 4a7863cc2eb5f98 ("x86, nmi_watchdog:
Remove ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG and rely on CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR")
in v2.6.38.

CONFIG_HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG was introduced by the commit d314d74c695f967e105
("nmi watchdog: do not use cpp symbol in Kconfig") in v3.4-rc1. It replaced
the above mentioned ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG. At that time, it was still used
by three architectures, namely blackfin, mn10300, and sparc.

The support for blackfin and mn10300 architectures has been completely
dropped some time ago. And sparc is the only architecture with the historic
NMI watchdog at the moment.

And the old sparc implementation is really special. It is always built on
sparc64. It used to be always enabled until the commit 7a5c8b57cec93196b
("sparc: implement watchdog_nmi_enable and watchdog_nmi_disable") added
in v4.10-rc1.

There are only few locations where the sparc64 NMI watchdog interacts
with the generic hardlockup detectors code:

+ implements arch_touch_nmi_watchdog() which is called from the generic
touch_nmi_watchdog()

+ implements watchdog_hardlockup_enable()/disable() to support
/proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog

+ is always preferred over other generic watchdogs, see
CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR

+ includes asm/nmi.h into linux/nmi.h because some sparc-specific
functions are needed in sparc-specific code which includes
only linux/nmi.h.

The situation became more complicated after the commit 05a4a95279311c3
("kernel/watchdog: split up config options") and commit 2104180a53698df5
("powerpc/64s: implement arch-specific hardlockup watchdog") in v4.13-rc1.
They introduced HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH. It was used for powerpc
specific hardlockup detector. It was compatible with the perf one
regarding the general boot, sysctl, and programming interfaces.

HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH was defined as a superset of
HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG. It made some sense because all arch-specific
detectors had some common requirements, namely:

+ implemented arch_touch_nmi_watchdog()
+ included asm/nmi.h into linux/nmi.h
+ defined the default value for /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog

But it actually has made things pretty complicated when the generic
buddy hardlockup detector was added. Before the generic perf detector
was newer supported together with an arch-specific one. But the buddy
detector could work on any SMP system. It means that an architecture
could support both the arch-specific and buddy detector.

As a result, there are few tricky dependencies. For example,
CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR depends on:

((HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF || HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_BUDDY) && !HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG) || HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH

The problem is that the very special sparc implementation is defined as:

HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG && !HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH

Another problem is that the meaning of HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG is far from clear
without reading understanding the history.

Make the logic less tricky and more self-explanatory by making
HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG specific for the sparc64 implementation. And rename it to
HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_SPARC64.

Note that HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PREFER_BUDDY, HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF,
and HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_BUDDY may conflict only with
HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH. They depend on HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR
and it is not longer enabled when HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG is set.

In the patch ("watchdog/hardlockup: detect hard lockups using secondary

buddy. That call could be done more cleanly. Specifically:

1. If we move the call into watchdog_hardlockup_kick() then it keeps
watchdog_timer_fn() simpler.
2. We don't need to pass an "unsigned long" to the buddy for the timer
count. In the patch ("watchdog/hardlockup: add a "cpu" param to
watchdog_hardlockup_check()") the count was changed to "atomic_t"
which is backed by an int, so we should match types.

# 6426e8d1 27-May-2023 Douglas Anderson <dianders@chromium.org>

watchdog/hardlockup: HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG must implement watchdog_hardlockup_probe()

Right now there is one arch (sparc64) that selects HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG

watchdog/hardlockup: HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG must implement watchdog_hardlockup_probe()

Right now there is one arch (sparc64) that selects HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG
without selecting HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH. Because of that one
architecture, we have some special case code in the watchdog core to
handle the fact that watchdog_hardlockup_probe() isn't implemented.

Let's implement watchdog_hardlockup_probe() for sparc64 and get rid of the
special case.

As a side effect of doing this, code inspection tells us that we could fix
a minor bug where the system won't properly realize that NMI watchdogs are
disabled. Specifically, on powerpc if CONFIG_PPC_WATCHDOG is turned off
the arch might still select CONFIG_HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH which
selects CONFIG_HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG. Since CONFIG_PPC_WATCHDOG was off then
nothing will override the "weak" watchdog_hardlockup_probe() and we'll
fallback to looking at CONFIG_HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG.

watchdog/hardlockup: keep kernel.nmi_watchdog sysctl as 0444 if probe fails

Patch series "watchdog: Cleanup / fixes after buddy series v5 reviews".

This patch series attempts to finish resolving the feedback received
from Petr Mladek on the v5 series I posted.

Probably the only thing that wasn't fully as clean as Petr requested was
the Kconfig stuff. I couldn't find a better way to express it without a
more major overhaul. In the very least, I renamed "NON_ARCH" to
"PERF_OR_BUDDY" in the hopes that will make it marginally better.

Nothing in this series is terribly critical and even the bugfixes are
small. However, it does cleanup a few things that were pointed out in
review.


This patch (of 10):

The permissions for the kernel.nmi_watchdog sysctl have always been set at
compile time despite the fact that a watchdog can fail to probe. Let's
fix this and set the permissions based on whether the hardlockup detector
actually probed.

watchdog/perf: adapt the watchdog_perf interface for async model

When lockup_detector_init()->watchdog_hardlockup_probe(), PMU may be not
ready yet. E.g. on arm64, PMU is not ready until
device_initcall(armv8_pmu_driver_init). And it is deeply integrated with
the driver model and cpuhp. Hence it is hard to push this initialization
before smp_init().

But it is easy to take an opposite approach and try to initialize the
watchdog once again later. The delayed probe is called using workqueues.
It need to allocate memory and must be proceed in a normal context. The
delayed probe is able to use if watchdog_hardlockup_probe() returns
non-zero which means the return code returned when PMU is not ready yet.

Provide an API - lockup_detector_retry_init() for anyone who needs to
delayed init lockup detector if they had ever failed at
lockup_detector_init().

The original assumption is: nobody should use delayed probe after
lockup_detector_check() which has __init attribute. That is, anyone uses
this API must call between lockup_detector_init() and
lockup_detector_check(), and the caller must have __init attribute

watchdog/hardlockup: detect hard lockups using secondary (buddy) CPUs

Implement a hardlockup detector that doesn't doesn't need any extra
arch-specific support code to detect lockups. Instead of using something
arch-specific we will use the buddy system, where each CPU watches out for
another one. Specifically, each CPU will use its softlockup hrtimer to
check that the next CPU is processing hrtimer interrupts by verifying that
a counter is increasing.

NOTE: unlike the other hard lockup detectors, the buddy one can't easily
show what's happening on the CPU that locked up just by doing a simple
backtrace. It relies on some other mechanism in the system to get
information about the locked up CPUs. This could be support for NMI
backtraces like [1], it could be a mechanism for printing the PC of locked
CPUs at panic time like [2] / [3], or it could be something else. Even
though that means we still rely on arch-specific code, this arch-specific
code seems to often be implemented even on architectures that don't have a
hardlockup detector.

This style of hardlockup detector originated in some downstream Android
trees and has been rebased on / carried in ChromeOS trees for quite a long
time for use on arm and arm64 boards. Historically on these boards we've
leveraged mechanism [2] / [3] to get information about hung CPUs, but we
could move to [1].

Although the original motivation for the buddy system was for use on
systems without an arch-specific hardlockup detector, it can still be
useful to use even on systems that _do_ have an arch-specific hardlockup
detector. On x86, for instance, there is a 24-part patch series [4] in
progress switching the arch-specific hard lockup detector from a scarce
perf counter to a less-scarce hardware resource. Potentially the buddy
system could be a simpler alternative to free up the perf counter but
still get hard lockup detection.

Overall, pros (+) and cons (-) of the buddy system compared to an
arch-specific hardlockup detector (which might be implemented using
perf):
+ The buddy system is usable on systems that don't have an
arch-specific hardlockup detector, like arm32 and arm64 (though it's
being worked on for arm64 [5]).
+ The buddy system may free up scarce hardware resources.
+ If a CPU totally goes out to lunch (can't process NMIs) the buddy
system could still detect the problem (though it would be unlikely
to be able to get a stack trace).
+ The buddy system uses the same timer function to pet the hardlockup
detector on the running CPU as it uses to detect hardlockups on
other CPUs. Compared to other hardlockup detectors, this means it
generates fewer interrupts and thus is likely better able to let
CPUs stay idle longer.
- If all CPUs are hard locked up at the same time the buddy system
can't detect it.
- If we don't have SMP we can't use the buddy system.
- The buddy system needs an arch-specific mechanism (possibly NMI
backtrace) to get info about the locked up CPU.

watchdog/hardlockup: have the perf hardlockup use __weak functions more cleanly

The fact that there watchdog_hardlockup_enable(),
watchdog_hardlockup_disable(), and watchdog_hardlockup_probe() are
declared __weak means that the configured hardlockup detector can define
non-weak versions of those functions if it needs to. Instead of doing
this, the perf hardlockup detector hooked itself into the default __weak
implementation, which was a bit awkward. Clean this up.

From comments, it looks as if the original design was done because the
__weak function were expected to implemented by the architecture and not
by the configured hardlockup detector. This got awkward when we tried to
add the buddy lockup detector which was not arch-specific but wanted to
hook into those same functions.

This is not expected to have any functional impact.

watchdog/hardlockup: move perf hardlockup watchdog petting to watchdog.c

In preparation for the buddy hardlockup detector, which wants the same
petting logic as the current perf hardlockup detector, move the code to
watchdog.c. While doing this, rename the global variable to match others
nearby. As part of this change we have to change the code to account for
the fact that the CPU we're running on might be different than the one
we're checking.

Currently the code in watchdog.c is guarded by
CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF, which makes this change seem silly.
However, a future patch will change this.

watchdog/hardlockup: add a "cpu" param to watchdog_hardlockup_check()

In preparation for the buddy hardlockup detector where the CPU checking
for lockup might not be the currently running CPU, add a "cpu" parameter
to watchdog_hardlockup_check().

As part of this change, make hrtimer_interrupts an atomic_t since now the
CPU incrementing the value and the CPU reading the value might be
different. Technially this could also be done with just READ_ONCE and
WRITE_ONCE, but atomic_t feels a little cleaner in this case.

While hrtimer_interrupts is made atomic_t, we change
hrtimer_interrupts_saved from "unsigned long" to "int". The "int" is
needed to match the data type backing atomic_t for hrtimer_interrupts.
Even if this changes us from 64-bits to 32-bits (which I don't think is
true for most compilers), it doesn't really matter. All we ever do is
increment it every few seconds and compare it to an old value so 32-bits
is fine (even 16-bits would be). The "signed" vs "unsigned" also doesn't
matter for simple equality comparisons.

hrtimer_interrupts_saved is _not_ switched to atomic_t nor even accessed
with READ_ONCE / WRITE_ONCE. The hrtimer_interrupts_saved is always
consistently accessed with the same CPU. NOTE: with the upcoming "buddy"
detector there is one special case. When a CPU goes offline/online then
we can change which CPU is the one to consistently access a given instance
of hrtimer_interrupts_saved. We still can't end up with a partially
updated hrtimer_interrupts_saved, however, because we end up petting all
affected CPUs to make sure the new and old CPU can't end up somehow
read/write hrtimer_interrupts_saved at the same time.

watchdog/hardlockup: style changes to watchdog_hardlockup_check() / is_hardlockup()

These are tiny style changes:
- Add a blank line before a "return".
- Renames two globals to use the "watchdog_hardlockup" prefix.
- Store processor id in "unsigned int" rather than "int".
- Minor comment rewording.
- Use "else" rather than extra returns since it seemed more symmetric.

watchdog/hardlockup: move perf hardlockup checking/panic to common watchdog.c

The perf hardlockup detector works by looking at interrupt counts and
seeing if they change from run to run. The interrupt counts are managed
by the common watchdog code via its watchdog_timer_fn().

Currently the API between the perf detector and the common code is a
function: is_hardlockup(). When the hard lockup detector sees that
function return true then it handles printing out debug info and inducing
a panic if necessary.

Let's change the API a little bit in preparation for the buddy hardlockup
detector. The buddy hardlockup detector wants to print nearly the same
debug info and have nearly the same panic behavior. That means we want to
move all that code to the common file. For now, the code in the common
file will only be there if the perf hardlockup detector is enabled, but
eventually it will be selected by a common config.

Right now, this _just_ moves the code from the perf detector file to the
common file and changes the names. It doesn't make the changes that the
buddy hardlockup detector will need and doesn't do any style cleanups. A
future patch will do cleanup to make it more obvious what changed.

With the above, we no longer have any callers of is_hardlockup() outside
of the "watchdog.c" file, so we can remove it from the header, make it
static, and move it to the same "#ifdef" block as our new
watchdog_hardlockup_check(). While doing this, it can be noted that even
if no hardlockup detectors were configured the existing code used to still
have the code for counting/checking "hrtimer_interrupts" even if the perf
hardlockup detector wasn't configured. We didn't need to do that, so move
all the "hrtimer_interrupts" counting to only be there if the perf
hardlockup detector is configured as well.

This change is expected to be a no-op.
