2021-07-01kernel.h: split out panic and oops helpersAndy Shevchenko1-0/+1
kernel.h is being used as a dump for all kinds of stuff for a long time. Here is the attempt to start cleaning it up by splitting out panic and oops helpers. There are several purposes of doing this: - dropping dependency in bug.h - dropping a loop by moving out panic_notifier.h - unload kernel.h from something which has its own domain At the same time convert users tree-wide to use new headers, although for the time being include new header back to kernel.h to avoid twisted indirected includes for existing users.

2020-11-02kernel/hung_task.c: make type annotations consistentLukas Bulwahn1-2/+1
Commit 32927393dc1c ("sysctl: pass kernel pointers to ->proc_handler") removed various __user annotations from function signatures as part of its refactoring. It also removed the __user annotation for proc_dohung_task_timeout_secs() at its declaration in sched/sysctl.h, but not at its definition in kernel/hung_task.c. Hence, sparse complains: kernel/hung_task.c:271:5: error: symbol 'proc_dohung_task_timeout_secs' redeclared with different type (incompatible argument 3 (different address spaces)) Adjust the annotation at the definition fitting to that refactoring to make sparse happy again, which also resolves this warning from sparse: kernel/hung_task.c:277:52: warning: incorrect type in argument 3 (different address spaces) kernel/hung_task.c:277:52: expected void * kernel/hung_task.c:277:52: got void [noderef] __user *buffer No functional change.

2020-06-08kernel/hung_task.c: introduce sysctl to print all traces when a hung task is ↵Guilherme G. Piccoli1-2/+18
detected Commit 401c636a0eeb ("kernel/hung_task.c: show all hung tasks before panic") introduced a change in that we started to show all CPUs backtraces when a hung task is detected _and_ the sysctl/kernel parameter "hung_task_panic" is set. The idea is good, because usually when observing deadlocks (that may lead to hung tasks), the culprit is another task holding a lock and not necessarily the task detected as hung. The problem with this approach is that dumping backtraces is a slightly expensive task, specially printing that on console (and specially in many CPU machines, as servers commonly found nowadays). So, users that plan to collect a kdump to investigate the hung tasks and narrow down the deadlock definitely don't need the CPUs backtrace on dmesg/console, which will delay the panic and pollute the log (crash tool would easily grab all CPUs traces with 'bt -a' command). Also, there's the reciprocal scenario: some users may be interested in seeing the CPUs backtraces but not have the system panic when a hung task is detected. The current approach hence is almost as embedding a policy in the kernel, by forcing the CPUs backtraces' dump (only) on hung_task_panic. This patch decouples the panic event on hung task from the CPUs backtraces dump, by creating (and documenting) a new sysctl called "hung_task_all_cpu_backtrace", analog to the approach taken on soft/hard lockups, that have both a panic and an "all_cpu_backtrace" sysctl to allow individual control. The new mechanism for dumping the CPUs backtraces on hung task detection respects "hung_task_warnings" by not dumping the traces in case there's no warnings left. Signed-off-by: Guilherme G.

2020-06-08kernel/hung_task convert hung_task_panic boot parameter to sysctlVlastimil Babka1-10/+0
We can now handle sysctl parameters on kernel command line and have infrastructure to convert legacy command line options that duplicate sysctl to become a sysctl alias. This patch converts the hung_task_panic parameter. Note that the sysctl handler is more strict and allows only 0 and 1, while the legacy parameter allowed any non-zero value. But there is little reason anyone would not be using 1.

2019-01-05kernel/hung_task.c: break RCU locks based on jiffiesTetsuo Handa1-4/+4
check_hung_uninterruptible_tasks() is currently calling rcu_lock_break() for every 1024 threads. But check_hung_task() is very slow if printk() was called, and is very fast otherwise. If many threads within some 1024 threads called printk(), the RCU grace period might be extended enough to trigger RCU stall warnings. Therefore, calling rcu_lock_break() for every some fixed jiffies will be safer.

2019-01-05kernel/hung_task.c: force console verbose before panicLiu, Chuansheng1-7/+5
Based on commit 401c636a0eeb ("kernel/hung_task.c: show all hung tasks before panic"), we could get the call stack of hung task. However, if the console loglevel is not high, we still can not see the useful panic information in practice, and in most cases users don't set console loglevel to high level. This patch is to force console verbose before system panic, so that the real useful information can be seen in the console, instead of being like the following, which doesn't have hung task information.

2018-08-22kernel/hung_task.c: allow to set checking interval separately from timeoutDmitry Vyukov1-1/+14
Currently task hung checking interval is equal to timeout, as the result hung is detected anywhere between timeout and 2*timeout. This is fine for most interactive environments, but this hurts automated testing setups (syzbot). In an automated setup we need to strictly order CPU lockup < RCU stall < workqueue lockup < task hung < silent loss, so that RCU stall is not detected as task hung and task hung is not detected as silent machine loss. The large variance in task hung detection timeout requires setting silent machine loss timeout to a very large value (e.g. if task hung is 3 mins, then silent loss need to be set to ~7 mins). The additional 3 minutes significantly reduce testing efficiency because usually we crash kernel within a minute, and this can add hours to bug localization process as it needs to do dozens of tests. Allow setting checking interval separately from timeout. This allows to set timeout to, say, 3 minutes, but checking interval to 10 secs. The interval is controlled via a new hung_task_check_interval_secs sysctl, similar to the existing hung_task_timeout_secs sysctl. The default value of 0 results in the current behavior: checking interval is equal to timeout.

2017-05-09kernel/hung_task.c: defer showing held locksTetsuo Handa1-1/+7
When I was running my testcase which may block hundreds of threads on fs locks, I got lockup due to output from debug_show_all_locks() added by commit b2d4c2edb2e4 ("locking/hung_task: Show all locks"). For example, if 1000 threads were blocked in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state and 500 out of 1000 threads hold some lock, debug_show_all_locks() from for_each_process_thread() loop will report locks held by 500 threads for 1000 times. This is a too much noise. In order to make sure rcu_lock_break() is called frequently, we should avoid calling debug_show_all_locks() from for_each_process_thread() loop because debug_show_all_locks() effectively calls for_each_process_thread() loop.

2016-03-23kernel/hung_task.c: use timeout diff when timeout is updatedTetsuo Handa1-8/+13
When new timeout is written to /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs, khungtaskd is interrupted and again sleeps for full timeout duration. This means that hang task will not be checked if new timeout is written periodically within old timeout duration and/or checking of hang task will be delayed for up to previous timeout duration. Fix this by remembering last time khungtaskd checked hang task. This change will allow other watchdog tasks (if any) to share khungtaskd by sleeping for minimal timeout diff of all watchdog tasks. Doing more watchdog tasks from khungtaskd will reduce the possibility of printk() collisions by multiple watchdog threads.

2014-04-04kernel: audit/fix non-modular users of module_init in core codePaul Gortmaker1-2/+1
Code that is obj-y (always built-in) or dependent on a bool Kconfig (built-in or absent) can never be modular. So using module_init as an alias for __initcall can be somewhat misleading. Fix these up now, so that we can relocate module_init from init.h into module.h in the future. If we don't do this, we'd have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, and that would be a worse thing. The audit targets the following module_init users for change: kernel/user.c obj-y kernel/kexec.c bool KEXEC (one instance per arch) kernel/profile.c bool PROFILING kernel/hung_task.c bool DETECT_HUNG_TASK kernel/sched/stats.c bool SCHEDSTATS kernel/user_namespace.c bool USER_NS Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs. one of the priority categorized subgroups. As __initcall gets mapped onto device_initcall, our use of subsys_initcall (which makes sense for these files) will thus change this registration from level 6-device to level 4-subsys (i.e. slightly earlier). However no observable impact of that difference has been observed during testing. Also, two instances of missing ";" at EOL are fixed in kexec.

2014-01-25hung_task: Display every hung task warningAaron Tomlin1-2/+4
When khungtaskd detects hung tasks, it prints out backtraces from a number of those tasks. Limiting the number of backtraces being printed out can result in the user not seeing the information necessary to debug the issue. The hung_task_warnings sysctl controls this feature. This patch makes it possible for hung_task_warnings to accept a special value to print an unlimited number of backtraces when khungtaskd detects hung tasks. The special value is -1. To use this value it is necessary to change types from ulong to int.

2013-09-23hung_task: Change sysctl_hung_task_check_count to 'int'Li Zefan1-1/+1
As 'sysctl_hung_task_check_count' is 'unsigned long' when this value is assigned to max_count in check_hung_uninterruptible_tasks(), it's truncated to 'int' type. This causes a minor artifact: if we write 2^32 to sysctl.hung_task_check_count, hung task detection will be effectively disabled.

2012-03-06hung_task: fix the broken rcu_lock_break() logicOleg Nesterov1-4/+7
check_hung_uninterruptible_tasks()->rcu_lock_break() introduced by "softlockup: check all tasks in hung_task" commit ce9dbe24 looks absolutely wrong. - rcu_lock_break() does put_task_struct(). If the task has exited it is not safe to even read its ->state, nothing protects this task_struct. - The TASK_DEAD checks are wrong too. Contrary to the comment, we can't use it to check if the task was unhashed. It can be unhashed without TASK_DEAD, or it can be valid with TASK_DEAD. For example, an autoreaping task can do release_task(current) long before it sets TASK_DEAD in do_exit(). Or, a zombie task can have ->state == TASK_DEAD but release_task() was not called, and in this case we must not break the loop. Change this code to check pid_alive() instead, and do this before we drop the reference to the task_struct. Note: while_each_thread() under rcu_read_lock() is not really safe, it can livelock. This will be fixed later, but fortunately in this case the "max_count" logic saves us anyway.

This patch allows the default value for sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs to be set at build time. The feature carries virtually no overhead, so it makes sense to keep it enabled. On heavily loaded systems, though, it can end up triggering stack traces when there is no bug other than the system being underprovisioned. We use this patch to keep the hung task facility available but disabled at boot-time. The default of 120 seconds is preserved.

2009-01-16softlockup: decouple hung tasks check from softlockup detectionMandeep Singh Baines1-0/+198
Decoupling allows: * hung tasks check to happen at very low priority * hung tasks check and softlockup to be enabled/disabled independently at compile and/or run-time * individual panic settings to be enabled disabled independently at compile and/or run-time * softlockup threshold to be reduced without increasing hung tasks poll frequency (hung task check is expensive relative to softlock watchdog) * hung task check to be zero over-head when disabled at run-time Signed-off-by: Mandeep Singh Baines <msb@google.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
