[PATCH v6 0/6] Support hld delayed init based on Pseudo-NMI for

[Lecopzer Chen]

As we already used hld internally for arm64 since 2020, there still
doesn't have a proper commit on the upstream and we badly need it.

This serise rework on 5.17 from [1] and the origin author is
Pingfan Liu <kernelfans@gmail.com>
Sumit Garg <sumit.garg@linaro.org>

Qoute from [1]:

> Hard lockup detector is helpful to diagnose unpaired irq
> enable/disable.
> But the current watchdog framework can not cope with arm64 hw perf
> event
> easily.

> On arm64, when lockup_detector_init()->watchdog_nmi_probe(), PMU is
> not
> ready until device_initcall(armv8_pmu_driver_init).  And it is deeply
> integrated with the driver model and cpuhp. Hence it is hard to push
> the
> initialization of armv8_pmu_driver_init() before smp_init().

> But it is easy to take an opposite approach by enabling watchdog_hld
> to

> The async model is achieved by expanding watchdog_nmi_probe() with
> -EBUSY, and a re-initializing work_struct which waits on a
> wait_queue_head.

Provide an API - retry_lockup_detector_init() for anyone who needs
to delayed init lockup detector.

The original assumption is: nobody should use delayed probe after
lockup_detector_check() (which has __init attribute).
That is, anyone uses this API must call between lockup_detector_init()
and lockup_detector_check(), and the caller must have __init attribute

The delayed init flow is:
1. lockup_detector_init() -> watchdog_nmi_probe() get non-zero retun,
   then set allow_lockup_detector_init_retry to true which means it's
   able to do delayed probe later.

2. PMU arch code init done, call retry_lockup_detector_init().

3. retry_lockup_detector_init() queue the work only when
   allow_lockup_detector_init_retry is true which means nobody should
call
   this before lockup_detector_init().

4. the work lockup_detector_delay_init() is doing without wait event.
   if probe success, set allow_lockup_detector_init_retry to false.

5. at late_initcall_sync(), lockup_detector_check() set
   allow_lockup_detector_init_retry to false first to avoid any later
retry,
   and then flush_work() to make sure the __init section won't be freed
   before the work done.

[PATCH v6 3/6] kernel/watchdog_hld: Ensure CPU-bound context when creating hardlockup detector event

[Lecopzer Chen]

From: Pingfan Liu <kernelfans@gmail.com>

hardlockup_detector_event_create() should create perf_event on the
current CPU. Preemption could not get disabled because
perf_event_create_kernel_counter() allocates memory. Instead,
the CPU locality is achieved by processing the code in a per-CPU
bound kthread.

Add a check to prevent mistakes when calling the code in another
code path.

[PATCH v6 4/6] kernel/watchdog: Adapt the watchdog_hld interface for async model

[Lecopzer Chen]

When lockup_detector_init()->watchdog_nmi_probe(), PMU may be not ready
yet. E.g. on arm64, PMU is not ready until
device_initcall(armv8_pmu_driver_init).  And it is deeply integrated
with the driver model and cpuhp. Hence it is hard to push this
initialization before smp_init().

But it is easy to take an opposite approach and try to initialize
the watchdog once again later.
The delayed probe is called using workqueues. It need to allocate
memory and must be proceed in a normal context.
The delayed probe is able to use if watchdog_nmi_probe() returns
non-zero which means the return code returned when PMU is not ready yet.

Provide an API - retry_lockup_detector_init() for anyone who needs
to delayed init lockup detector if they had ever failed at
lockup_detector_init().

The original assumption is: nobody should use delayed probe after
lockup_detector_check() which has __init attribute.
That is, anyone uses this API must call between lockup_detector_init()
and lockup_detector_check(), and the caller must have __init attribute

[PATCH v6 5/6] arm64: add hw_nmi_get_sample_period for preparation of lockup detector

[Lecopzer Chen]

Set safe maximum CPU frequency to 5 GHz in case a particular platform
doesn't implement cpufreq driver.
Although, architecture doesn't put any restrictions on
maximum frequency but 5 GHz seems to be safe maximum given the available
Arm CPUs in the market which are clocked much less than 5 GHz.

On the other hand, we can't make it much higher as it would lead to
a large hard-lockup detection timeout on parts which are running
slower (eg. 1GHz on Developerbox) and doesn't possess a cpufreq driver.

[PATCH v6 6/6] arm64: Enable perf events based hard lockup detector

[Lecopzer Chen]

With the recent feature added to enable perf events to use pseudo NMIs
as interrupts on platforms which support GICv3 or later, its now been
possible to enable hard lockup detector (or NMI watchdog) on arm64
platforms. So enable corresponding support.

One thing to note here is that normally lockup detector is initialized
just after the early initcalls but PMU on arm64 comes up much later as
device_initcall(). To cope with that, overriding watchdog_nmi_probe() to
let the watchdog framework know PMU not ready, and inform the framework
to re-initialize lockup detection once PMU has been initialized.

RE: [PATCH v6 0/6] Support hld delayed init based on Pseudo-NMI for arm64

Hi Will, Mark


Could you help review arm parts of this patchset, please?

For the question mention in both [1] and [2],

The hardlock detector utilizes the softlockup_start_all() to start all
the cpu on watchdog_allowed_mask, which will do watchdog_nmi_enable()
that registers perf event on each CPUs.
Thus we simply need to retry lockup_detector_init() in a single cpu which
will reconfig and call to softlockup_start_all().

Also, the CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF selects SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR,
IMO, this shows that hardlockup detector supports from softlockup.

Hardlockup depends on PMU driver , I think the only way is moving
pmu driver at setup_arch() or any point which is earlier than
lockup_detector_init(), and I guess we have to reorganize the architecture
of arm PMU.

The retry function should benifit all the arch/ not only for arm64.
Any arch who needs to probe its pmu as module can use this without providing
a chance to mess up the setup order. 


Please let me know if you have any concern about this, thank you
