Pull CSD lock update from Paul McKenney:
"This adds a kernel boot parameter that causes the kernel to panic if
one of the call_smp_function() APIs is stalled for more than the
specified duration.
This is useful in deployments in which a clean panic is preferable to
an indefinite stall"
* tag 'csd-lock.2023.10.23a' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu:
smp,csd: Throw an error if a CSD lock is stuck for too long
|
|
Pull in upstream to get the fixes so depending changes can be applied.
|
|
The CSD lock seems to get stuck in 2 "modes". When it gets stuck
temporarily, it usually gets released in a few seconds, and sometimes
up to one or two minutes.
If the CSD lock stays stuck for more than several minutes, it never
seems to get unstuck, and gradually more and more things in the system
end up also getting stuck.
In the latter case, we should just give up, so the system can dump out
a little more information about what went wrong, and, with panic_on_oops
and a kdump kernel loaded, dump a whole bunch more information about what
might have gone wrong. In addition, there is an smp.panic_on_ipistall
kernel boot parameter that by default retains the old behavior, but when
set enables the panic after the CSD lock has been stuck for more than
the specified number of milliseconds, as in 300,000 for five minutes.

call_single_data_t is a size-aligned typedef of struct __call_single_data.
This alignment is desirable in order to have smp_call_function*() avoid
bouncing an extra cacheline in case of an unaligned csd, given this
would hurt performance.
Since the removal of struct request->csd in commit 660e802c76c8
("blk-mq: use percpu csd to remote complete instead of per-rq csd") there
are no current users of smp_call_function*() with unaligned csd.
Change every 'struct __call_single_data' function parameter to
'call_single_data_t', so we have warnings if any new code tries to
introduce an smp_call_function*() call with unaligned csd.

On systems with hundreds of CPUs, if most of the CPUs detect a CSD hang,
then all of these waiting CPUs send an NMI to the destination CPU in
order to dump its backtrace.
Given enough NMIs, the destination CPU will spent much of its time
producing backtraces, thus further delaying that CPU's response to the
original CSD IPI. In the worst case, by the time destination CPU is
done producing all of these backtrace NMIs, the CSD wait timeout will
have elapsed so that the waiters resend their backtrace NMIs again,
further delaying forward progress.
Therefore, to avoid these delays, issue the backtrace NMI only from
the first waiter. The destination CPU's other waiters can make use of
backtrace obtained from the first waiter's NMI.

If a waiter is waiting for CSD lock, its call stack will not change
between first and subsequent hang detection for the same CSD lock.
Therefore, do dump_stack only for first-time detection for a given waiter.
This avoids excessive logging on systems with hundreds of CPUs where
repetitive dump_stack from hundreds of CPUs would otherwise flood the
console.

Add a tracepoint for when a CSD is queued to a remote CPU's
call_single_queue. This allows finding exactly which CPU queued a given CSD
when looking at a csd_function_{entry,exit} event, and also enables us to
accurately measure IPI delivery time with e.g. a synthetic event:
$ echo 'hist:keys=cpu,csd.hex:ts=common_timestamp.usecs' >\
/sys/kernel/tracing/events/smp/csd_queue_cpu/trigger
$ echo 'csd_latency unsigned int dst_cpu; unsigned long csd; u64 time' >\

'time=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts:'\
'onmatch(smp.csd_queue_cpu).trace(csd_latency,common_cpu,csd,$time)' >\

The recently added ipi_send_{cpu,cpumask} tracepoints allow finding sources
of IPIs targeting CPUs running latency-sensitive applications.
For NOHZ_FULL CPUs, all IPIs are interference, and those tracepoints are
sufficient to find them and work on getting rid of them. In some setups
however, not *all* IPIs are to be suppressed, but long-running IPI
callbacks can still be problematic.
Add a pair of tracepoints to mark the start and end of processing a CSD IPI
callback, similar to what exists for softirq, workqueue or timer callbacks.

Context
=======
The newly-introduced ipi_send_cpumask tracepoint has a "callback" parameter
which so far has only been fed with NULL.
While CSD_TYPE_SYNC/ASYNC and CSD_TYPE_IRQ_WORK share a similar backing
struct layout (meaning their callback func can be accessed without caring
about the actual CSD type), CSD_TYPE_TTWU doesn't even have a function
attached to its struct. This means we need to check the type of a CSD
before eventually dereferencing its associated callback.
This isn't as trivial as it sounds: the CSD type is stored in
__call_single_node.u_flags, which get cleared right before the callback is
executed via csd_unlock(). This implies checking the CSD type before it is
enqueued on the call_single_queue, as the target CPU's queue can be flushed
before we get to sending an IPI.
Furthermore, send_call_function_single_ipi() only has a CPU parameter, and
would need to have an additional argument to trickle down the invoked
function. This is somewhat silly, as the extra argument will always be
pushed down to the function even when nothing is being traced, which is
unnecessary overhead.
Changes
=======
send_call_function_single_ipi() is only used by smp.c, and is defined in
sched/core.c as it contains scheduler-specific ops (set_nr_if_polling() of
a CPU's idle task).
Split it into two parts: the scheduler bits remain in sched/core.c, and the
actual IPI emission is moved into smp.c. This lets us define an
__always_inline helper function that can take the related callback as
parameter without creating useless register pressure in the non-traced path
which only gains a (disabled) static branch.
Do the same thing for the multi IPI case.

send_call_function_single_ipi() is the thing that sends IPIs at the bottom
of smp_call_function*() via either generic_exec_single() or
smp_call_function_many_cond(). Give it an IPI-related tracepoint.
Note that this ends up tracing any IPI sent via __smp_call_single_queue(),
which covers __ttwu_queue_wakelist() and irq_work_queue_on() "for free".

It is currently possible to set the csdlock_debug_enabled static
branch, but not to reset it. This is an issue when several different
entities supply kernel boot parameters and also for kernels built with
CONFIG_CSD_LOCK_WAIT_DEBUG_DEFAULT=y.
Therefore, make the csdlock_debug=0 kernel boot parameter turn off
debugging. Last one wins!

The csd_debug kernel parameter works well, but is inconvenient in cases
where it is more closely associated with boot loaders or automation than
with a particular kernel version or release. Thererfore, provide a new
CSD_LOCK_WAIT_DEBUG_DEFAULT Kconfig option that defaults csd_debug to
1 when selected and 0 otherwise, with this latter being the default.

Pull bitmap updates from Yury Norov:
- Fix unsigned comparison to -1 in CPUMAP_FILE_MAX_BYTES (Phil Auld)
- cleanup nr_cpu_ids vs nr_cpumask_bits mess (me)
This series cleans that mess and adds new config FORCE_NR_CPUS that
allows to optimize cpumask subsystem if the number of CPUs is known
at compile-time.
- optimize find_bit() functions (me)
Reworks find_bit() functions based on new FIND_{FIRST,NEXT}_BIT()
macros.
- add find_nth_bit() (me)
Adds find_nth_bit(), which is ~70 times faster than bitcounting with
for_each() loop:
for_each_set_bit(bit, mask, size)
if (n-- == 0)
return bit;
Also adds bitmap_weight_and() to let people replace this pattern:
tmp = bitmap_alloc(nbits);
bitmap_and(tmp, map1, map2, nbits);
weight = bitmap_weight(tmp, nbits);
bitmap_free(tmp);
with a single bitmap_weight_and() call.
- repair cpumask_check() (me)
After switching cpumask to use nr_cpu_ids, cpumask_check() started
generating many false-positive warnings. This series fixes it.
- Add for_each_cpu_andnot() and for_each_cpu_andnot() (Valentin
Schneider)
Extends the API with one more function and applies it in sched/core.

The size of cpumasks is hard-limited by compile-time parameter NR_CPUS,
but defined at boot-time when kernel parses ACPI/DT tables, and stored in
nr_cpu_ids. In many practical cases, number of CPUs for a target is known
at compile time, and can be provided with NR_CPUS.
In that case, compiler may be instructed to rely on NR_CPUS as on actual
number of CPUs, not an upper limit. It allows to optimize many cpumask
routines and significantly shrink size of the kernel image.
This patch adds FORCE_NR_CPUS option to teach the compiler to rely on
NR_CPUS and enable corresponding optimizations.
If FORCE_NR_CPUS=y, kernel will not set nr_cpu_ids at boot, but only check
that the actual number of possible CPUs is equal to NR_CPUS, and WARN if
that doesn't hold.
The new option is especially useful in embedded applications because
kernel configurations are unique for each SoC, the number of CPUs is
constant and known well, and memory limitations are typically harder.
For my 4-CPU ARM64 build with NR_CPUS=4, FORCE_NR_CPUS=y saves 46KB:
add/remove: 3/4 grow/shrink: 46/729 up/down: 652/-46952 (-46300)

The trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() function attempts to send an NMI to the
target CPU, which usually provides much better stack traces than the
dump_cpu_task() function's approach of dumping that stack from some other
CPU. So much so that most calls to dump_cpu_task() only happen after
a call to trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() has failed. And the exception to
this rule really should attempt to use trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() first.
Therefore, move the trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() invocation into
dump_cpu_task().

The csdlock_debug kernel-boot parameter is parsed by the
early_param() function csdlock_debug(). If set, csdlock_debug()
invokes static_branch_enable() to enable csd_lock_wait feature, which
triggers a panic on arm64 for kernels built with CONFIG_SPARSEMEM=y and
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP=n.
With CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP=n, __nr_to_section is called in
static_key_enable() and returns NULL, resulting in a NULL dereference
because mem_section is initialized only later in sparse_init().
This is also a problem for powerpc because early_param() functions
are invoked earlier than jump_label_init(), also resulting in
static_key_enable() failures. These failures cause the warning "static
key 'xxx' used before call to jump_label_init()".
Thus, early_param is too early for csd_lock_wait to run
static_branch_enable(), so changes it to __setup to fix these.

flush_smp_call_function_queue() invokes do_softirq() which is not available
on PREEMPT_RT. flush_smp_call_function_queue() is invoked from the idle
task and the migration task with preemption or interrupts disabled.
So RT kernels cannot process soft interrupts in that context as that has to
acquire 'sleeping spinlocks' which is not possible with preemption or
interrupts disabled and forbidden from the idle task anyway.
The currently known SMP function call which raises a soft interrupt is in
the block layer, but this functionality is not enabled on RT kernels due to
latency and performance reasons.
RT could wake up ksoftirqd unconditionally, but this wants to be avoided if
there were soft interrupts pending already when this is invoked in the
context of the migration task. The migration task might have preempted a
threaded interrupt handler which raised a soft interrupt, but did not reach
the local_bh_enable() to process it. The "running" ksoftirqd might prevent
the handling in the interrupt thread context which is causing latency
issues.
Add a new function which handles this case explicitely for RT and falls
back to do_softirq() on !RT kernels. In the RT case this warns when one of
the flushed SMP function calls raised a soft interrupt so this can be
investigated.

Debugging of problems involving insanely long-running SMI handlers
proceeds better if the CSD-lock timeout can be adjusted. This commit
therefore provides a new smp.csd_lock_timeout kernel boot parameter
that specifies the timeout in milliseconds. The default remains at the
previously hard-coded value of five seconds.

The check in flush_smp_call_function_queue() for callbacks that are sent
to offline CPUs currently checks whether the queue is empty.
However, flush_smp_call_function_queue() has just deleted all the
callbacks from the queue and moved all the entries into a local list.
This checks would only be positive if some callbacks were added in the
short time after llist_del_all() was called. This does not seem to be
the intention of this check.
Change the check to look at the local list to which the entries were
moved instead of the queue from which all the callbacks were just
removed.

As reported by syzbot and experienced by Pavel, using cpus_read_lock()
in wake_up_all_idle_cpus() generates lock inversion (against mmap_sem
and possibly others).
Instead, shrink the preempt disable region by iterating all CPUs and
checking the online status for each individual CPU while having
preemption disabled.

As of commit 966a967116e6 ("smp: Avoid using two cache lines for struct
call_single_data"), the smp code prefers 32-byte aligned call_single_data
objects for performance reasons, but the block layer includes an instance
of this structure in the main 'struct request' that is more senstive
to size than to performance here, see 4ccafe032005 ("block: unalign
call_single_data in struct request").
The result is a violation of the calling conventions that clang correctly
points out:
block/blk-mq.c:630:39: warning: passing 8-byte aligned argument to 32-byte aligned parameter 2 of 'smp_call_function_single_async' may result in an unaligned pointer access [-Walign-mismatch]
smp_call_function_single_async(cpu, &rq->csd);
It does seem that the usage of the call_single_data without cache line
alignment should still be allowed by the smp code, so just change the
function prototype so it accepts both, but leave the default alignment
unchanged for the other users. This seems better to me than adding
a local hack to shut up an otherwise correct warning in the caller.

Currently, on_each_cpu() and similar functions do not exploit the
potential of concurrency: the function is first executed remotely and
only then it is executed locally. Functions such as TLB flush can take
considerable time, so this provides an opportunity for performance
optimization.
To do so, modify smp_call_function_many_cond(), to allows the callers to
provide a function that should be executed (remotely/locally), and run
them concurrently. Keep other smp_call_function_many() semantic as it is
today for backward compatibility: the called function is not executed in
this case locally.
smp_call_function_many_cond() does not use the optimized version for a
single remote target that smp_call_function_single() implements. For
synchronous function call, smp_call_function_single() keeps a
call_single_data (which is used for synchronization) on the stack.
Interestingly, it seems that not using this optimization provides
greater performance improvements (greater speedup with a single remote
target than with multiple ones). Presumably, holding data structures
that are intended for synchronization on the stack can introduce
overheads due to TLB misses and false-sharing when the stack is used for
other purposes.

In order to help identifying problems with IPI handling and remote
function execution add some more data to IPI debugging code.
There have been multiple reports of CPUs looping long times (many
seconds) in smp_call_function_many() waiting for another CPU executing
a function like tlb flushing. Most of these reports have been for
cases where the kernel was running as a guest on top of KVM or Xen
(there are rumours of that happening under VMWare, too, and even on
bare metal).
Finding the root cause hasn't been successful yet, even after more than
2 years of chasing this bug by different developers.
Commit:
35feb60474bf4f7 ("kernel/smp: Provide CSD lock timeout diagnostics")
tried to address this by adding some debug code and by issuing another
IPI when a hang was detected. This helped mitigating the problem
(the repeated IPI unlocks the hang), but the root cause is still unknown.
Current available data suggests that either an IPI wasn't sent when it
should have been, or that the IPI didn't result in the target CPU
executing the queued function (due to the IPI not reaching the CPU,
the IPI handler not being called, or the handler not seeing the queued
request).
Try to add more diagnostic data by introducing a global atomic counter
which is being incremented when doing critical operations (before and
after queueing a new request, when sending an IPI, and when dequeueing
a request). The counter value is stored in percpu variables which can
be printed out when a hang is detected.
The data of the last event (consisting of sequence counter, source
CPU, target CPU, and event type) is stored in a global variable. When
a new event is to be traced, the data of the last event is stored in
the event related percpu location and the global data is updated with
the new event's data. This allows to track two events in one data
location: one by the value of the event data (the event before the
current one), and one by the location itself (the current event).
A typical printout with a detected hang will look like this:
csd: Detected non-responsive CSD lock (#1) on CPU#1, waiting 5000000003 ns for CPU#06 scf_handler_1+0x0/0x50(0xffffa2a881bb1410).
csd: CSD lock (#1) handling prior scf_handler_1+0x0/0x50(0xffffa2a8813823c0) request.
csd: cnt(00008cc): ffff->0000 dequeue (src cpu 0 == empty)
csd: cnt(00008cd): ffff->0006 idle
csd: cnt(0003668): 0001->0006 queue
csd: cnt(0003669): 0001->0006 ipi
csd: cnt(0003e0f): 0007->000a queue
csd: cnt(0003e10): 0001->ffff ping
csd: cnt(0003e71): 0003->0000 ping
csd: cnt(0003e72): ffff->0006 gotipi
csd: cnt(0003e73): ffff->0006 handle
csd: cnt(0003e74): ffff->0006 dequeue (src cpu 0 == empty)
csd: cnt(0003e7f): 0004->0006 ping
csd: cnt(0003e80): 0001->ffff pinged
csd: cnt(0003eb2): 0005->0001 noipi
csd: cnt(0003eb3): 0001->0006 queue
csd: cnt(0003eb4): 0001->0006 noipi
csd: cnt now: 0003f00
The idea is to print only relevant entries. Those are all events which
are associated with the hang (so sender side events for the source CPU
of the hanging request, and receiver side events for the target CPU),
and the related events just before those (for adding data needed to
identify a possible race). Printing all available data would be
possible, but this would add large amounts of data printed on larger
configurations.

Currently CSD lock debugging can be switched on and off via a kernel
config option only. Unfortunately there is at least one problem with
CSD lock handling pending for about 2 years now, which has been seen
in different environments (mostly when running virtualized under KVM
or Xen, at least once on bare metal). Multiple attempts to catch this
issue have finally led to introduction of CSD lock debug code, but
this code is not in use in most distros as it has some impact on
performance.
In order to be able to ship kernels with CONFIG_CSD_LOCK_WAIT_DEBUG
enabled even for production use, add a boot parameter for switching
the debug functionality on. This will reduce any performance impact
of the debug coding to a bare minimum when not being used.

send_call_function_single_ipi() may wake an idle CPU without sending an
IPI. The woken up CPU will process the SMP-functions in
flush_smp_call_function_from_idle(). Any raised softirq from within the
SMP-function call will not be processed.
Should the CPU have no tasks assigned, then it will go back to idle with
pending softirqs and the NOHZ will rightfully complain.
Process pending softirqs on return from flush_smp_call_function_queue().
