clocksource: Prevent double add_timer_on() for watchdog_timer

2020-02-14T21:31:08Z

commit febac332a819f0e764aa4da62757ba21d18c182b upstream. Kernel crashes inside QEMU/KVM are observed: kernel BUG at kernel/time/timer.c:1154! BUG_ON(timer_pending(timer) || !timer->function) in add_timer_on(). At the same time another cpu got: general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI of poinson pointer 0xdead000000000200 in: __hlist_del at include/linux/list.h:681 (inlined by) detach_timer at kernel/time/timer.c:818 (inlined by) expire_timers at kernel/time/timer.c:1355 (inlined by) __run_timers at kernel/time/timer.c:1686 (inlined by) run_timer_softirq at kernel/time/timer.c:1699 Unfortunately kernel logs are badly scrambled, stacktraces are lost. Printing the timer->function before the BUG_ON() pointed to clocksource_watchdog(). The execution of clocksource_watchdog() can race with a sequence of clocksource_stop_watchdog() .. clocksource_start_watchdog(): expire_timers() detach_timer(timer, true); timer->entry.pprev = NULL; raw_spin_unlock_irq(&base->lock); call_timer_fn clocksource_watchdog() clocksource_watchdog_kthread() or clocksource_unbind() spin_lock_irqsave(&watchdog_lock, flags); clocksource_stop_watchdog(); del_timer(&watchdog_timer); watchdog_running = 0; spin_unlock_irqrestore(&watchdog_lock, flags); spin_lock_irqsave(&watchdog_lock, flags); clocksource_start_watchdog(); add_timer_on(&watchdog_timer, ...); watchdog_running = 1; spin_unlock_irqrestore(&watchdog_lock, flags); spin_lock(&watchdog_lock); add_timer_on(&watchdog_timer, ...); BUG_ON(timer_pending(timer) || !timer->function); timer_pending() -> true BUG() I.e. inside clocksource_watchdog() watchdog_timer could be already armed. Check timer_pending() before calling add_timer_on(). This is sufficient as all operations are synchronized by watchdog_lock.

clocksource: Defer override invalidation unless clock is unstable

2016-08-31T21:43:33Z

Clocksources don't get the VALID_FOR_HRES flag until they have been checked by a watchdog. However, when using an override, the clocksource_select logic will clear the override value if the clocksource is not marked VALID_FOR_HRES during that inititial check. When using the boot arguments clocksource=, this selection can run before the watchdog, and can cause the override to be incorrectly cleared. To address this condition, the override_name is only invalidated for unstable clocksources. Otherwise, the override is left intact until after the watchdog has validated the clocksource as stable/unstable.

clocksource: Make clocksource insert entry more efficient

2016-06-20T19:46:34Z

In clocksource_enqueue(), it is unnecessary to continue looping the list, if we find there is an entry that the value of rating is smaller than the new one. It is safe to be out the loop, because all of entry are inserted in descending order.

clocksource: Allow unregistering the watchdog

2016-01-27T11:38:05Z

Hyper-V vmbus module registers TSC page clocksource when loaded. This is the clocksource with the highest rating and thus it becomes the watchdog making unloading of the vmbus module impossible. Separate clocksource_select_watchdog() from clocksource_enqueue_watchdog() and use it on clocksource register/rating change/unregister. After all, lobotomized monkeys may need some love too.

clocksource: Add CPU info to clocksource watchdog reporting

2015-12-07T20:15:28Z

The clocksource watchdog reporting was improved by 0b046b217ad4c6. I want to add the info of CPU where the watchdog detects a deviation because it is necessary to identify the trouble spot if the clocksource is TSC.

remove abs64()

2015-11-09T23:11:24Z

Switch everything to the new and more capable implementation of abs(). Mainly to give the new abs() a bit of a workout.

clocksource: Fix abs() usage w/ 64bit values

2015-10-02T20:53:01Z

This patch fixes one cases where abs() was being used with 64-bit nanosecond values, where the result may be capped at 32-bits. This potentially could cause watchdog false negatives on 32-bit systems, so this patch addresses the issue by using abs64().
