watchdog/softlockup: Enforce that timestamp is valid on boot

2020-02-24T07:36:52+00:00

[ Upstream commit 11e31f608b499f044f24b20be73f1dcab3e43f8a ]

Robert reported that during boot the watchdog timestamp is set to 0 for one
second which is the indicator for a watchdog reset.

The reason for this is that the timestamp is in seconds and the time is
taken from sched clock and divided by ~1e9. sched clock starts at 0 which
means that for the first second during boot the watchdog timestamp is 0,
i.e. reset.

Use ULONG_MAX as the reset indicator value so the watchdog works correctly
right from the start. ULONG_MAX would only conflict with a real timestamp
if the system reaches an uptime of 136 years on 32bit and almost eternity
on 64bit.

watchdog: Mark watchdog_hrtimer to expire in hard interrupt context

2019-08-01T18:51:20+00:00

The watchdog hrtimer must expire in hard interrupt context even on
PREEMPT_RT=y kernels as otherwise the hard/softlockup detection logic would
not work.

No functional change.

watchdog: Respect watchdog cpumask on CPU hotplug

2019-03-28T12:32:01+00:00

The rework of the watchdog core to use cpu_stop_work broke the watchdog
cpumask on CPU hotplug.

The watchdog_enable/disable() functions are now called unconditionally from
the hotplug callback, i.e. even on CPUs which are not in the watchdog
cpumask. As a consequence the watchdog can become unstoppable.

Only invoke them when the plugged CPU is in the watchdog cpumask.

watchdog/core: Add watchdog_thresh command line parameter

2018-11-01T13:33:35+00:00

The hard and soft lockup detector threshold has a default value of 10
seconds which can only be changed via sysctl.

During early boot lockup detection can trigger when noisy debugging emits
a large amount of messages to the console, but there is no way to set a
larger threshold on the kernel command line. The detector can only be
completely disabled.

Add a new watchdog_thresh= command line parameter to allow boot time
control over the threshold. It works in the same way as the sysctl and
affects both the soft and the hard lockup detectors.

watchdog: Mark watchdog touch functions as notrace

2018-08-30T10:56:40+00:00

Some architectures need to use stop_machine() to patch functions for
ftrace, and the assumption is that the stopped CPUs do not make function
calls to traceable functions when they are in the stopped state.

Commit ce4f06dcbb5d ("stop_machine: Touch_nmi_watchdog() after
MULTI_STOP_PREPARE") added calls to the watchdog touch functions from
the stopped CPUs and those functions lack notrace annotations.  This
leads to crashes when enabling/disabling ftrace on ARM kernels built
with the Thumb-2 instruction set.

Fix it by adding the necessary notrace annotations.

watchdog/softlockup: Fix cpu_stop_queue_work() double-queue bug

2018-07-15T21:51:19+00:00

When scheduling is delayed for longer than the softlockup interrupt
period it is possible to double-queue the cpu_stop_work, causing list
corruption.

Cure this by adding a completion to track the cpu_stop_work's
progress.

watchdog/softlockup: Replace "watchdog/%u" threads with cpu_stop_work

2018-07-03T07:20:43+00:00

Oleg suggested to replace the "watchdog/%u" threads with
cpu_stop_work. That removes one thread per CPU while at the same time
fixes softlockup vs SCHED_DEADLINE.

But more importantly, it does away with the single
smpboot_update_cpumask_percpu_thread() user, which allows
cleanups/shrinkage of the smpboot interface.
