From b88f55389ad27f05ed84af9e1026aa64dbfabc9a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tetsuo Handa Date: Sun, 4 Aug 2024 18:48:10 +0900 Subject: profiling: remove profile=sleep support The kernel sleep profile is no longer working due to a recursive locking bug introduced by commit 42a20f86dc19 ("sched: Add wrapper for get_wchan() to keep task blocked") Booting with the 'profile=sleep' kernel command line option added or executing # echo -n sleep > /sys/kernel/profiling after boot causes the system to lock up. Lockdep reports kthreadd/3 is trying to acquire lock: ffff93ac82e08d58 (&p->pi_lock){....}-{2:2}, at: get_wchan+0x32/0x70 but task is already holding lock: ffff93ac82e08d58 (&p->pi_lock){....}-{2:2}, at: try_to_wake_up+0x53/0x370 with the call trace being lock_acquire+0xc8/0x2f0 get_wchan+0x32/0x70 __update_stats_enqueue_sleeper+0x151/0x430 enqueue_entity+0x4b0/0x520 enqueue_task_fair+0x92/0x6b0 ttwu_do_activate+0x73/0x140 try_to_wake_up+0x213/0x370 swake_up_locked+0x20/0x50 complete+0x2f/0x40 kthread+0xfb/0x180 However, since nobody noticed this regression for more than two years, let's remove 'profile=sleep' support based on the assumption that nobody needs this functionality.
