kdb: Don't back trace on a cpu that didn't round up

2018-12-30T08:31:23Z

If you have a CPU that fails to round up and then run 'btc' you'll end up crashing in kdb becaue we dereferenced NULL. Let's add a check. It's wise to also set the task to NULL when leaving the debugger so that if we fail to round up on a later entry into the debugger we won't backtrace a stale task.

kgdb: Don't round up a CPU that failed rounding up before

2018-12-30T08:29:13Z

If we're using the default implementation of kgdb_roundup_cpus() that uses smp_call_function_single_async() we can end up hanging kgdb_roundup_cpus() if we try to round up a CPU that failed to round up before. Specifically smp_call_function_single_async() will try to wait on the csd lock for the CPU that we're trying to round up. If the previous round up never finished then that lock could still be held and we'll just sit there hanging. There's not a lot of use trying to round up a CPU that failed to round up before. Let's keep a flag that indicates whether the CPU started but didn't finish to round up before. If we see that flag set then we'll skip the next round up. In general we have a few goals here: - We never want to end up calling smp_call_function_single_async() when the csd is still locked. This is accomplished because flush_smp_call_function_queue() unlocks the csd _before_ invoking the callback. That means that when kgdb_nmicallback() runs we know for sure the the csd is no longer locked. Thus when we set "rounding_up = false" we know for sure that the csd is unlocked. - If there are no timeouts rounding up we should never skip a round up. NOTE #1: In general trying to continue running after failing to round up CPUs doesn't appear to be supported in the debugger. When I simulate this I find that kdb reports "Catastrophic error detected" when I try to continue. I can overrule and continue anyway, but it should be noted that we may be entering the land of dragons here. Possibly the "Catastrophic error detected" was added _because_ of the future failure to round up, but even so this is an area of the code that hasn't been strongly tested. NOTE #2: I did a bit of testing before and after this change. I introduced a 10 second hang in the kernel while holding a spinlock that I could invoke on a certain CPU with 'taskset -c 3 cat /sys/...". Before this change if I did: - Invoke hang - Enter debugger - g (which warns about Catastrophic error, g again to go anyway) - g - Enter debugger ...I'd hang the rest of the 10 seconds without getting a debugger prompt. After this change I end up in the debugger the 2nd time after only 1 second with the standard warning about 'Timed out waiting for secondary CPUs.' I'll also note that once the CPU finished waiting I could actually debug it (aka "btc" worked) I won't promise that everything works perfectly if the errant CPU comes back at just the wrong time (like as we're entering or exiting the debugger) but it certainly seems like an improvement. NOTE #3: setting 'kgdb_info[cpu].rounding_up = false' is in kgdb_nmicallback() instead of kgdb_call_nmi_hook() because some implementations override kgdb_call_nmi_hook(). It shouldn't hurt to have it in kgdb_nmicallback() in any case. NOTE #4: this logic is really only needed because there is no API call like "smp_try_call_function_single_async()" or "smp_csd_is_locked()". If such an API existed then we'd use it instead, but it seemed a bit much to add an API like this just for kgdb.

kgdb: Fix kgdb_roundup_cpus() for arches who used smp_call_function()

2018-12-30T08:28:02Z

When I had lockdep turned on and dropped into kgdb I got a nice splat on my system. Specifically it hit: DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(current->hardirq_context) Specifically it looked like this: sysrq: SysRq : DEBUG ------------[ cut here ]------------ DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(current->hardirq_context) WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at .../kernel/locking/lockdep.c:2875 lockdep_hardirqs_on+0xf0/0x160 CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 4.19.0 #27 pstate: 604003c9 (nZCv DAIF +PAN -UAO) pc : lockdep_hardirqs_on+0xf0/0x160 ...

If nothing else that seems like it could violate spinlock semantics and cause a deadlock. Instead, let's use a private csd alongside smp_call_function_single_async() to round up the other CPUs. Using smp_call_function_single_async() doesn't require interrupts to be enabled so we can remove the offending bit of code. In order to avoid duplicating this across all the architectures that use the default kgdb_roundup_cpus(), we'll add a "weak" implementation to debug_core.c. Looking at all the people who previously had copies of this code, there were a few variants. I've attempted to keep the variants working like they used to. Specifically: * For arch/arc we passed NULL to kgdb_nmicallback() instead of get_irq_regs(). * For arch/mips there was a bit of extra code around kgdb_nmicallback() NOTE: In this patch we will still get into trouble if we try to round up a CPU that failed to round up before. We'll try to round it up again and potentially hang when we try to grab the csd lock. That's not new behavior but we'll still try to do better in a future patch.

kgdb: Remove irq flags from roundup

2018-12-30T08:24:21Z

The function kgdb_roundup_cpus() was passed a parameter that was documented as: > the flags that will be used when restoring the interrupts. There is > local_irq_save() call before kgdb_roundup_cpus(). Nobody used those flags. Anyone who wanted to temporarily turn on interrupts just did local_irq_enable() and local_irq_disable() without looking at them. So we can definitely remove the flags.

kernel/debug/debug_core.c: more properly delay for secondary CPUs

2016-12-15T00:04:08Z

We've got a delay loop waiting for secondary CPUs. That loop uses loops_per_jiffy. However, loops_per_jiffy doesn't actually mean how many tight loops make up a jiffy on all architectures. It is quite common to see things like this in the boot log: Calibrating delay loop (skipped), value calculated using timer frequency.. 48.00 BogoMIPS (lpj=24000) In my case I was seeing lots of cases where other CPUs timed out entering the debugger only to print their stack crawls shortly after the kdb> prompt was written. Elsewhere in kgdb we already use udelay(), so that should be safe enough to use to implement our timeout. We'll delay 1 ms for 1000 times, which should give us a full second of delay (just like the old code wanted) but allow us to notice that we're done every 1 ms.

debug: prevent entering debug mode on panic/exception.

2015-02-19T18:39:03Z

On non-developer devices, kgdb prevents the device from rebooting after a panic. Incase of panics and exceptions, to allow the device to reboot, prevent entering debug mode to avoid getting stuck waiting for the user to interact with debugger. To avoid entering the debugger on panic/exception without any extra configuration, panic_timeout is being used which can be set via /proc/sys/kernel/panic at run time and CONFIG_PANIC_TIMEOUT sets the default value. Setting panic_timeout indicates that the user requested machine to perform unattended reboot after panic. We dont want to get stuck waiting for the user input incase of panic.

kdb: Fix off by one error in kdb_cpu()

There was a follow on replacement patch against the prior "kgdb: Timeout if secondary CPUs ignore the roundup". See: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/1/7/442 This patch is the delta vs the patch that was committed upstream: * Fix an off-by-one error in kdb_cpu(). * Replace NR_CPUS with CONFIG_NR_CPUS to tell checkpatch that we really want a static limit. * Removed the "KGDB: " prefix from the pr_crit() in debug_core.c (kgdb-next contains a patch which introduced pr_fmt() to this file to the tag will now be applied automatically).
