Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner: "A pile of fixes for long standing issues with the timer wheel and the NOHZ code: - Prevent timer base confusion accross the nohz switch, which can cause unlocked access and data corruption - Reinitialize the stale base clock on cpu hotplug to prevent subtle side effects including rollovers on 32bit - Prevent an interrupt storm when the timer softirq is already pending caused by tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() - Move the timer start tracepoint to a place where it actually makes sense - Add documentation to timerqueue functions as they caused confusion several times now" * 'timers-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: timerqueue: Document return values of timerqueue_add/del() timers: Invoke timer_start_debug() where it makes sense nohz: Prevent a timer interrupt storm in tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() timers: Reinitialize per cpu bases on hotplug timers: Use deferrable base independent of base::nohz_active

timers: Reinitialize per cpu bases on hotplug

2017-12-29T22:13:09Z

The timer wheel bases are not (re)initialized on CPU hotplug. That leaves them with a potentially stale clk and next_expiry valuem, which can cause trouble then the CPU is plugged. Add a prepare callback which forwards the clock, sets next_expiry to far in the future and reset the control flags to a known state. Set base->must_forward_clk so the first timer which is queued will try to forward the clock to current jiffies. Fixes: 500462a9de65 ("timers: Switch to a non-cascading wheel") Reported-by: Paul E.

cpu/hotplug: Reset node state after operation

2017-10-21T14:11:30Z

The recent rework of the cpu hotplug internals changed the usage of the per cpu state->node field, but missed to clean it up after usage. So subsequent hotplug operations use the stale pointer from a previous operation and hand it into the callback functions. The callbacks then dereference a pointer which either belongs to a different facility or points to freed and potentially reused memory. In either case data corruption and crashes are the obvious consequence. Reset the node and the last pointers in the per cpu state to NULL after the operation which set them has completed.

Pull watchddog clean-up and fixes from Thomas Gleixner: "The watchdog (hard/softlockup detector) code is pretty much broken in its current state. The patch series addresses this by removing all duct tape and refactoring it into a workable state. The reasons why I ask for inclusion that late in the cycle are: 1) The code causes lockdep splats vs. hotplug locking which get reported over and over. Unfortunately there is no easy fix. 2) The risk of breakage is minimal because it's already broken 3) As 4.14 is a long term stable kernel, I prefer to have working watchdog code in that and the lockdep issues resolved. I wouldn't ask you to pull if 4.14 wouldn't be a LTS kernel or if the solution would be easy to backport. 4) The series was around before the merge window opened, but then got delayed due to the UP failure caused by the for_each_cpu() surprise which we discussed recently. Changes vs. V1: - Addressed your review points - Addressed the warning in the powerpc code which was discovered late - Changed two function names which made sense up to a certain point in the series. Now they match what they do in the end. - Fixed a 'unused variable' warning, which got not detected by the intel robot. I triggered it when trying all possible related config combinations manually. Randconfig testing seems not random enough. The changes have been tested by and reviewed by Don Zickus and tested and acked by Micheal Ellerman for powerpc" * 'core-watchdog-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (36 commits) watchdog/core: Put softlockup_threads_initialized under ifdef guard watchdog/core: Rename some softlockup_* functions powerpc/watchdog: Make use of watchdog_nmi_probe() watchdog/core, powerpc: Lock cpus across reconfiguration watchdog/core, powerpc: Replace watchdog_nmi_reconfigure() watchdog/hardlockup/perf: Fix spelling mistake: "permanetely" -> "permanently" watchdog/hardlockup/perf: Cure UP damage watchdog/hardlockup: Clean up hotplug locking mess watchdog/hardlockup/perf: Simplify deferred event destroy watchdog/hardlockup/perf: Use new perf CPU enable mechanism watchdog/hardlockup/perf: Implement CPU enable replacement watchdog/hardlockup/perf: Implement init time detection of perf watchdog/hardlockup/perf: Implement init time perf validation watchdog/core: Get rid of the racy update loop watchdog/core, powerpc: Make watchdog_nmi_reconfigure() two stage watchdog/sysctl: Clean up sysctl variable name space watchdog/sysctl: Get rid of the #ifdeffery watchdog/core: Clean up header mess watchdog/core: Further simplify sysctl handling watchdog/core: Get rid of the thread teardown/setup dance ...

smp/hotplug: Hotplug state fail injection

2017-09-25T20:11:44Z

Add a sysfs file to one-time fail a specific state. This can be used to test the state rollback code paths. Something like this (hotplug-up.sh): #!/bin/bash echo 0 > /debug/sched_debug echo 1 > /debug/tracing/events/cpuhp/enable ALL_STATES=`cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/hotplug/states | cut -d':' -f1` STATES=${1:-$ALL_STATES} for state in $STATES do echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online echo 0 > /debug/tracing/trace echo Fail state: $state echo $state > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/hotplug/fail cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/hotplug/fail echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online cat /debug/tracing/trace > hotfail-${state}.trace sleep 1 done Can be used to test for all possible rollback (barring multi-instance) scenarios on CPU-up, CPU-down is a trivial modification of the above.

smp/hotplug: Differentiate the AP completion between up and down

2017-09-25T20:11:43Z

With lockdep-crossrelease we get deadlock reports that span cpu-up and cpu-down chains. Such deadlocks cannot possibly happen because cpu-up and cpu-down are globally serialized. takedown_cpu() irq_lock_sparse() wait_for_completion(&st->done) cpuhp_thread_fun cpuhp_up_callback cpuhp_invoke_callback irq_affinity_online_cpu irq_local_spare() irq_unlock_sparse() complete(&st->done) Now that we have consistent AP state, we can trivially separate the AP completion between up and down using st->bringup.
