[REPOST PATCH v6 0/4] kgdb: Fix kgdb_roundup_cpus()

[REPOST PATCH v6 0/4] kgdb: Fix kgdb_roundup_cpus()

[Douglas Anderson]

This series was originally part of the series ("serial: Finish kgdb on
qcom_geni; fix many lockdep splats w/ kgdb") but it made sense to
split it up.

It's believed that dropping into kgdb should be more robust once these
patches are applied.

Repost of v6 adds CC's and also tags already received.

Changes in v6:
- Moved smp_call_function_single_async() error check to patch 3.

Changes in v5:
- Add a comment about get_irq_regs().
- get_cpu() => raw_smp_processor_id() in kgdb_roundup_cpus().
- for_each_cpu() => for_each_online_cpu()
- Error check smp_call_function_single_async()

Changes in v4:
- Removed smp_mb() calls.
- Also clear out .debuggerinfo.
- Also clear out .debuggerinfo and .task for the master.
- Remove clearing out in kdb_stub for offline CPUs; it's now redundant.

Changes in v3:
- No separate init call.
- Don't round up the CPU that is doing the rounding up.
- Add "#ifdef CONFIG_SMP" to match the rest of the file.
- Updated desc saying we don't solve the "failed to roundup" case.
- Document the ignored parameter.
- Don't round up a CPU that failed rounding up before new for v3.
- Don't back trace on a cpu that didn't round up new for v3.

Changes in v2:
- Removing irq flags separated from fixing lockdep splat.
- Don't use smp_call_function (Daniel).

Douglas Anderson (4):
  kgdb: Remove irq flags from roundup
  kgdb: Fix kgdb_roundup_cpus() for arches who used smp_call_function()
  kgdb: Don't round up a CPU that failed rounding up before
  kdb: Don't back trace on a cpu that didn't round up

[REPOST PATCH v6 1/4] kgdb: Remove irq flags from roundup

[Douglas Anderson]

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.

I've not heard any objections from the arch/ maintainers so...

Applied! Thanks.

[REPOST PATCH v6 2/4] kgdb: Fix kgdb_roundup_cpus() for arches who used smp_call_function()

[Douglas Anderson]

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

Looking closely at it, it seems like a really bad idea to be calling
local_irq_enable() in kgdb_roundup_cpus().  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.

Changes in v4: None
Changes in v3:
- No separate init call.
- Don't round up the CPU that is doing the rounding up.
- Add "#ifdef CONFIG_SMP" to match the rest of the file.
- Updated desc saying we don't solve the "failed to roundup" case.

I've not heard any objections from the arch/ maintainers so...

Applied! Thanks.

[REPOST PATCH v6 3/4] kgdb: Don't round up a CPU that failed rounding up before

[Douglas Anderson]

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.

[REPOST PATCH v6 4/4] kdb: Don't back trace on a cpu that didn't round up

[Douglas Anderson]

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.

Changes in v6: None
Changes in v5: None
Changes in v4:
- Also clear out .debuggerinfo.
- Also clear out .debuggerinfo and .task for the master.
- Remove clearing out in kdb_stub for offline CPUs; it's now redundant.

Changes in v3:
- Don't back trace on a cpu that didn't round up new for v3.

Changes in v2: None

FWIW, trying these on arm64 (ThunderX2) with CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS_ON_BOOT=y
on top of 4.20-rc5 doesn't boot. It looks like they leave interrupts
disabled when they shouldn't and it trips over the BUG at
mm/vmalloc.c:1380 (called via do_fork -> copy_process).

Now, I don't think these patches make things worse on arm64 since prior
to them the kgdb boot tests on arm64 were stuck in a loop (RUN
singlestep).

Thanks for the report!  ...actually, I'd never tried CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS
before.  ...so I tried them now:

A) chromeos-4.19 tree on qcom-sdm845 without this series: booted up OK
B) chromeos-4.19 tree on qcom-sdm845 with this series: booted up OK
C) v4.20-rc5-90-g30002dd008ed on rockchip-rk3399 (kevin) with this
series: booted up OK

Example output from B) above:

...so I guess I'm a little confused.  Either I have a different config
than you do or something is special about your machine?


NOTE: In general I've never considered "single step" as reliable in
kgdb.  I mostly use kgdb as "after the fact" crash debugging to
analyze local variables / memory / other tasks.  If it worked that'd
actually be kinda great, but at least when I started using kgdb years
ago I learned that it didn't work and stopped trying...

I tried it now on a Juno board both as a host and a guest and boots
fine. It must be something that only triggers ThunderX2. Ignore the
report for now, if I find anything interesting I'll let you know.
