2024-11-03rcu: Finer-grained grace-period-end checks in rcu_dump_cpu_stacks()Paul E. McKenney
This commit pushes the grace-period-end checks further down into rcu_dump_cpu_stacks(), and also uses lockless checks coupled with finer-grained locking. The result is that the current leaf rcu_node structure's ->lock is acquired only if a stack backtrace might be needed from the current CPU, and is held across only that CPU's backtrace. As a result, if there are no stalled CPUs associated with a given rcu_node structure, then its ->lock will not be acquired at all. On large systems, it is usually (though not always) the case that a small number of CPUs are stalling the current grace period, which means that the ->lock need be acquired only for a small fraction of the rcu_node structures.

2024-10-23rcu: Stop stall warning from dumping stacks if grace period endsPaul E. McKenney
Currently, once an RCU CPU stall warning decides to dump the stalling CPUs' stacks, the rcu_dump_cpu_stacks() function persists until it has gone through the full list. Unfortunately, if the stalled grace periods ends midway through, this function will be dumping stacks of innocent-bystander CPUs that happen to be blocking not the old grace period, but instead the new one. This can cause serious confusion. This commit therefore stops dumping stacks if and when the stalled grace period ends. [ paulmck: Apply Joel Fernandes feedback. ] Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2024-09-09rcu: Defer printing stall-warning backtrace when holding rcu_node lockPaul E. McKenney
The rcu_dump_cpu_stacks() holds the leaf rcu_node structure's ->lock when dumping the stakcks of any CPUs stalling the current grace period. This lock is held to prevent confusion that would otherwise occur when the stalled CPU reported its quiescent state (and then went on to do unrelated things) just as the backtrace NMI was heading towards it. This has worked well, but on larger systems has recently been observed to cause severe lock contention resulting in CSD-lock stalls and other general unhappiness. This commit therefore does printk_deferred_enter() before acquiring the lock and printk_deferred_exit() after releasing it, thus deferring the overhead of actually outputting the stack trace out of that lock's critical section.

2024-04-15rcu: Fix buffer overflow in print_cpu_stall_info()Nikita Kiryushin
The rcuc-starvation output from print_cpu_stall_info() might overflow the buffer if there is a huge difference in jiffies difference. The situation might seem improbable, but computers sometimes get very confused about time, which can result in full-sized integers, and, in this case, buffer overflow. Also, the unsigned jiffies difference is printed using %ld, which is normally for signed integers. This is intentional for debugging purposes, but it is not obvious from the code. This commit therefore changes sprintf() to snprintf() and adds a clarifying comment about intention of %ld format. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

2023-12-12rcu: Restrict access to RCU CPU stall notifiersPaul E. McKenney
Although the RCU CPU stall notifiers can be useful for dumping state when tracking down delicate forward-progress bugs where NUMA effects cause cache lines to be delivered to a given CPU regularly, but always in a state that prevents that CPU from making forward progress. These bugs can be detected by the RCU CPU stall-warning mechanism, but in some cases, the stall-warnings printk()s disrupt the forward-progress bug before any useful state can be obtained. Unfortunately, the notifier mechanism added by commit 5b404fdabacf ("rcu: Add RCU CPU stall notifier") can make matters worse if used at all carelessly. For example, if the stall warning was caused by a lock not being released, then any attempt to acquire that lock in the notifier will hang. This will prevent not only the notifier from producing any useful output, but it will also prevent the stall-warning message from ever appearing. This commit therefore hides this new RCU CPU stall notifier mechanism under a new RCU_CPU_STALL_NOTIFIER Kconfig option that depends on both DEBUG_KERNEL and RCU_EXPERT. In addition, the rcupdate.rcu_cpu_stall_notifiers=1 kernel boot parameter must also be specified. The RCU_CPU_STALL_NOTIFIER Kconfig option's help text contains a warning and explains the dangers of careless use, recommending lockless notifier code. In addition, a WARN() is triggered each time that an attempt is made to register a stall-warning notifier in kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_NOTIFIER=y. This combination of measures will keep use of this mechanism confined to debug kernels and away from routine deployments.

2023-09-11rcu/tree: Defer setting of jiffies during stall resetJoel Fernandes (Google)
There are instances where rcu_cpu_stall_reset() is called when jiffies did not get a chance to update for a long time. Before jiffies is updated, the CPU stall detector can go off triggering false-positives where a just-started grace period appears to be ages old. In the past, we disabled stall detection in rcu_cpu_stall_reset() however this got changed [1]. This is resulting in false-positives in KGDB usecase [2]. Fix this by deferring the update of jiffies to the third run of the FQS loop. This is more robust, as, even if rcu_cpu_stall_reset() is called just before jiffies is read, we would end up pushing out the jiffies read by 3 more FQS loops. Meanwhile the CPU stall detection will be delayed and we will not get any false positives.

2023-09-11rcu: Delete a redundant check in rcu_check_gp_kthread_starvation()Zhen Lei
The rcu_check_gp_kthread_starvation() function uses task_cpu() to sample the last CPU that the grace-period kthread ran on, and task_cpu() samples the thread_info structure's ->cpu field. But this field will always contain a number corresponding to a CPU that was online some time in the past, thus never a negative number. This invariant is checked by a WARN_ON_ONCE() in set_task_cpu(). This means that if the grace-period kthread exists, that is, if the "gpk" local variable is non-NULL, the "cpu" local variable will be non-negative. This in turn means that the existing check for non-negative "cpu" is redundant with the enclosing check for non-NULL "gpk". This commit threefore removes the redundant check of "cpu".

2023-01-09rcu: Allow up to five minutes expedited RCU CPU stall-warning timeoutsPaul E. McKenney
The maximum value of RCU CPU stall-warning timeouts has historically been five minutes (300 seconds). However, the recently introduced expedited RCU CPU stall-warning timeout is instead limited to 21 seconds. This causes problems for CI/fuzzing services such as syzkaller by obscuring the issue in question with expedited RCU CPU stall-warning timeout splats. This commit therefore sets the RCU_EXP_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT Kconfig options upper bound to 300000 milliseconds, which is 300 seconds (AKA 5 minutes).

2023-01-05rcu: Add RCU stall diagnosis informationZhen Lei
Because RCU CPU stall warnings are driven from the scheduling-clock interrupt handler, a workload consisting of a very large number of short-duration hardware interrupts can result in misleading stall-warning messages. On systems supporting only a single level of interrupts, that is, where interrupts handlers cannot be interrupted, this can produce misleading diagnostics. The stack traces will show the innocent-bystander interrupted task, not the interrupts that are at the very least exacerbating the stall. This situation can be improved by displaying the number of interrupts and the CPU time that they have consumed. Diagnosing other types of stalls can be eased by also providing the count of softirqs and the CPU time that they consumed as well as the number of context switches and the task-level CPU time consumed. Consider the following output given this change: rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt self-detected stall on CPU rcu: 0-....: (1250 ticks this GP) <omitted> rcu: hardirqs softirqs csw/system rcu: number: 624 45 0 rcu: cputime: 69 1 2425 ==> 2500(ms) This output shows that the number of hard and soft interrupts is small, there are no context switches, and the system takes up a lot of time. This indicates that the current task is looping with preemption disabled. The impact on system performance is negligible because snapshot is recorded only once for all continuous RCU stalls. This added debugging information is suppressed by default and can be enabled by building the kernel with CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_CPUTIME=y or by booting with rcupdate.rcu_cpu_stall_cputime=1.

2022-08-31sched/debug: Try trigger_single_cpu_backtrace(cpu) in dump_cpu_task()Zhen Lei
The trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() function attempts to send an NMI to the target CPU, which usually provides much better stack traces than the dump_cpu_task() function's approach of dumping that stack from some other CPU. So much so that most calls to dump_cpu_task() only happen after a call to trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() has failed. And the exception to this rule really should attempt to use trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() first. Therefore, move the trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() invocation into dump_cpu_task().

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

It prevents live-lockups that were observed, for example, when messages about allocation failures were reported and a CPU handled consoles instead of reclaiming the memory. It was hard to solve even with rate limiting because it would need to take into account the amount of messages and the speed of all consoles. It is a must to have for real time. Otherwise, any printk() might break latency guarantees. The per-console kthreads allow to handle each console on its own speed. Slow consoles do not longer slow down faster ones. And printk() does not longer unpredictably slows down various code paths. There are situations when the kthreads are either not available or not reliable, for example, early boot, suspend, or panic.

Currently both expedited and regular grace period stall warnings use a single timeout value that with units of seconds. However, recent Android use cases problem require a sub-100-millisecond expedited RCU CPU stall warning. Given that expedited RCU grace periods normally complete in far less than a single millisecond, especially for small systems, this is not unreasonable. Therefore introduce the CONFIG_RCU_EXP_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT kernel configuration that defaults to 20 msec on Android and remains the same as that of the non-expedited stall warnings otherwise.

2022-04-22printk: add functions to prefer direct printingJohn Ogness
Once kthread printing is available, console printing will no longer occur in the context of the printk caller. However, there are some special contexts where it is desirable for the printk caller to directly print out kernel messages. Using pr_flush() to wait for threaded printers is only possible if the caller is in a sleepable context and the kthreads are active. That is not always the case. Introduce printk_prefer_direct_enter() and printk_prefer_direct_exit() functions to explicitly (and globally) activate/deactivate preferred direct console printing. The term "direct console printing" refers to printing to all enabled consoles from the context of the printk caller. The term "prefer" is used because this type of printing is only best effort. If the console is currently locked or other printers are already actively printing, the printk caller will need to rely on the other contexts to handle the printing. This preferred direct printing is how all printing has been handled until now (unless it was explicitly deferred). When kthread printing is introduced, there may be some unanticipated problems due to kthreads being unable to flush important messages. In order to minimize such risks, preferred direct printing is activated for the primary important messages when the system experiences general types of major errors. These are: - emergency reboot/shutdown - cpu and rcu stalls - hard and soft lockups - hung tasks - warn - sysrq Note that since kthread printing does not yet exist, no behavior changes result from this commit. This is only implementing the counter and marking the various places where preferred direct printing is active.

This is what kvm_check_and_clear_guest_paused() does: it tests guest PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED (which is set by the host) and if it's set then we need to touch all watchdogs and bail out. Watchdog timer function runs from IRQ, so PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED check works fine. There is, however, one more watchdog that runs from IRQ, so watchdog timer fn races with it, and that watchdog is not aware of PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED - RCU stall detector. apic_timer_interrupt() smp_apic_timer_interrupt() hrtimer_interrupt() __hrtimer_run_queues() tick_sched_timer() tick_sched_handle() update_process_times() rcu_sched_clock_irq() This triggers RCU stalls on our devices during VM resume. If tick_sched_handle()->rcu_sched_clock_irq() runs on a VCPU before watchdog_timer_fn()->kvm_check_and_clear_guest_paused() then there is nothing on this VCPU that touches watchdogs and RCU reads stale gp stall timestamp and new jiffies value, which makes it think that RCU has stalled.

2021-08-06rcu: Fix stall-warning deadlock due to non-release of rcu_node ->lockYanfei Xu
If rcu_print_task_stall() is invoked on an rcu_node structure that does not contain any tasks blocking the current grace period, it takes an early exit that fails to release that rcu_node structure's lock. This results in a self-deadlock, which is detected by lockdep. To reproduce this bug: tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/bin/kvm.sh --allcpus --duration 3 --trust-make --configs "TREE03" --kconfig "CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y" --bootargs "rcutorture.stall_cpu=30 rcutorture.stall_cpu_block=1 rcutorture.fwd_progress=0 rcutorture.test_boost=0" This will also result in other complaints, including RCU's scheduler hook complaining about blocking rather than preemption and an rcutorture writer stall. Only a partial RCU CPU stall warning message will be printed because of the self-deadlock. This commit therefore releases the lock on the rcu_print_task_stall() function's early exit path.
