powerpc/stacktrace: Include linux/delay.h

2021-09-18T11:40:12+00:00

[ Upstream commit a6cae77f1bc89368a4e2822afcddc45c3062d499 ]

commit 7c6986ade69e ("powerpc/stacktrace: Fix spurious "stale" traces in raise_backtrace_ipi()")
introduces udelay() call without including the linux/delay.h header.
This may happen to work on master but the header that declares the
functionshould be included nonetheless.

powerpc/stacktrace: Fix spurious "stale" traces in raise_backtrace_ipi()

2021-07-14T14:55:46+00:00

commit 7c6986ade69e3c81bac831645bc72109cd798a80 upstream.

In raise_backtrace_ipi() we iterate through the cpumask of CPUs, sending
each an IPI asking them to do a backtrace, but we don't wait for the
backtrace to happen.

We then iterate through the CPU mask again, and if any CPU hasn't done
the backtrace and cleared itself from the mask, we print a trace on its
behalf, noting that the trace may be "stale".

This works well enough when a CPU is not responding, because in that
case it doesn't receive the IPI and the sending CPU is left to print the
trace. But when all CPUs are responding we are left with a race between
the sending and receiving CPUs, if the sending CPU wins the race then it
will erroneously print a trace.

This leads to spurious "stale" traces from the sending CPU, which can
then be interleaved messily with the receiving CPU, note the CPU
numbers, eg:

  [ 1658.929157][    C7] rcu: Stack dump where RCU GP kthread last ran:
  [ 1658.929223][    C7] Sending NMI from CPU 7 to CPUs 1:
  [ 1658.929303][    C1] NMI backtrace for cpu 1
  [ 1658.929303][    C7] CPU 1 didn't respond to backtrace IPI, inspecting paca.
  [ 1658.929362][    C1] CPU: 1 PID: 325 Comm: kworker/1:1H Tainted: G        W   E     5.13.0-rc2+ #46
  [ 1658.929405][    C7] irq_soft_mask: 0x01 in_mce: 0 in_nmi: 0 current: 325 (kworker/1:1H)
  [ 1658.929465][    C1] Workqueue: events_highpri test_work_fn [test_lockup]
  [ 1658.929549][    C7] Back trace of paca->saved_r1 (0xc0000000057fb400) (possibly stale):
  [ 1658.929592][    C1] NIP:  c00000000002cf50 LR: c008000000820178 CTR: c00000000002cfa0

To fix it, change the logic so that the sending CPU waits 5s for the
receiving CPU to print its trace. If the receiving CPU prints its trace
successfully then the sending CPU just continues, avoiding any spurious
"stale" trace.

This has the added benefit of allowing all CPUs to print their traces in
order and avoids any interleaving of their output.

kernel: rename show_stack_loglvl() => show_stack()

2020-06-09T16:39:13+00:00

Now the last users of show_stack() got converted to use an explicit log
level, show_stack_loglvl() can drop it's redundant suffix and become once
again well known show_stack().

powerpc: Rename current_stack_pointer() to current_stack_frame()

2020-03-04T11:44:28+00:00

current_stack_pointer(), which was called __get_SP(), used to just
return the value in r1.

But that caused problems in some cases, so it was turned into a
function in commit bfe9a2cfe91a ("powerpc: Reimplement __get_SP() as a
function not a define").

Because it's a function in a separate compilation unit to all its
callers, it has the effect of causing a stack frame to be created, and
then returns the address of that frame. This is good in some cases
like those described in the above commit, but in other cases it's
overkill, we just need to know what stack page we're on.

On some other arches current_stack_pointer is just a register global
giving the stack pointer, and we'd like to do that too. So rename our
current_stack_pointer() to current_stack_frame() to make that
possible.

powerpc/ftrace: Enable HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_RET_ADDR_PTR

2019-09-18T02:24:55+00:00

This associates entries in the ftrace_ret_stack with corresponding stack
frames, enabling more robust stack unwinding. Also update the only user
of ftrace_graph_ret_addr() to pass the stack pointer.

powerpc: Remove export of save_stack_trace_tsk_reliable()

2019-03-02T03:43:05+00:00

As tglx points out, there are no in-tree module users of
save_stack_trace_tsk_reliable() and its x86 counterpart is not
exported, so remove the powerpc symbol export.

powerpc: prep stack walkers for THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK

2019-02-23T11:31:40+00:00

[text copied from commit 9bbd4c56b0b6
("arm64: prep stack walkers for THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK")]

When CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK is selected, task stacks may be freed
before a task is destroyed. To account for this, the stacks are
refcounted, and when manipulating the stack of another task, it is
necessary to get/put the stack to ensure it isn't freed and/or re-used
while we do so.

This patch reworks the powerpc stack walking code to account for this.
When CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK is not selected these perform no
refcounting, and this should only be a structural change that does not
affect behaviour.

To match its x86 counterpart, save_stack_trace_tsk_reliable() should
return -EINVAL in cases that it is currently returning 1.  No caller is
currently differentiating non-zero error codes, but let's keep the

powerpc/livepatch: relax reliable stack tracer checks for first-frame

2019-01-31T05:43:38+00:00

The bottom-most stack frame (the first to be unwound) may be largely
uninitialized, for the "Power Architecture 64-Bit ELF V2 ABI" only
requires its backchain pointer to be set.

The reliable stack tracer should be careful when verifying this frame:
skip checks on STACK_FRAME_LR_SAVE and STACK_FRAME_MARKER offsets that
may contain uninitialized residual data.
