watchdog/softlockup: Enforce that timestamp is valid on boot

2020-01-17T10:19:22Z

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/softlockup: Remove obsolete check of last reported task

2020-01-16T13:52:48Z

commit 9cf57731b63e ("watchdog/softlockup: Replace "watchdog/%u" threads with cpu_stop_work") ensures that the watchdog is reliably touched during a task switch. As a result the check for an unnoticed task switch is not longer needed. Remove the relevant code, which effectively reverts commit b1a8de1f5343 ("softlockup: make detector be aware of task switch of processes hogging cpu") Signed-off-by: Petr Mladek Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Acked-by: Peter Ziljstra Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20191024114928.15377-2-pmladek@suse.com

watchdog: Remove soft_lockup_hrtimer_cnt and related code

2020-01-16T11:25:51Z

After commit 9cf57731b63e ("watchdog/softlockup: Replace "watchdog/%u" threads with cpu_stop_work"), the percpu soft_lockup_hrtimer_cnt is not used any more, so remove it and related code.

watchdog: Mark watchdog_hrtimer to expire in hard interrupt context

2019-08-01T18:51:20Z

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

2019-03-28T12:32:01Z

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

2018-11-01T13:33:35Z

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

2018-08-30T10:56:40Z

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

2018-07-15T21:51:19Z

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.
