printk/nmi: generic solution for safe printk in NMI

2016-05-21T00:58:30+00:00

printk() takes some locks and could not be used a safe way in NMI
context.

The chance of a deadlock is real especially when printing stacks from
all CPUs.  This particular problem has been addressed on x86 by the
commit a9edc8809328 ("x86/nmi: Perform a safe NMI stack trace on all
CPUs").

The patchset brings two big advantages.  First, it makes the NMI
backtraces safe on all architectures for free.  Second, it makes all NMI
messages almost safe on all architectures (the temporary buffer is
limited.  We still should keep the number of messages in NMI context at
minimum).

Note that there already are several messages printed in NMI context:
WARN_ON(in_nmi()), BUG_ON(in_nmi()), anything being printed out from MCE
handlers.  These are not easy to avoid.

This patch reuses most of the code and makes it generic.  It is useful
for all messages and architectures that support NMI.

The alternative printk_func is set when entering and is reseted when
leaving NMI context.  It queues IRQ work to copy the messages into the
main ring buffer in a safe context.

__printk_nmi_flush() copies all available messages and reset the buffer.
Then we could use a simple cmpxchg operations to get synchronized with
writers.  There is also used a spinlock to get synchronized with other
flushers.

We do not longer use seq_buf because it depends on external lock.  It
would be hard to make all supported operations safe for a lockless use.
It would be confusing and error prone to make only some operations safe.

The code is put into separate printk/nmi.c as suggested by Steven
Rostedt.  It needs a per-CPU buffer and is compiled only on
architectures that call nmi_enter().  This is achieved by the new
HAVE_NMI Kconfig flag.

The are MN10300 and Xtensa architectures.  We need to clean up NMI
handling there first.  Let's do it separately.

The patch is heavily based on the draft from Peter Zijlstra, see

exit_thread: accept a task parameter to be exited

2016-05-21T00:58:30+00:00

We need to call exit_thread from copy_process in a fail path.  So make it
accept task_struct as a parameter.

[v2]
* s390: exit_thread_runtime_instr doesn't make sense to be called for
  non-current tasks.
* arm: fix the comment in vfp_thread_copy
* change 'me' to 'tsk' for task_struct
* now we can change only archs that actually have exit_thread
