  softlockup: Add sched_clock_tick() to avoid kernel warning on kgdb resume
2010-02-04 16:07:41 -08:00
Jason Wessel d6ad3e286d softlockup: Add sched_clock_tick() to avoid kernel warning on kgdb resume
When CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK is set, sched_clock() gets
the time from hardware such as the TSC on x86. In this
configuration kgdb will report a softlock warning message on
resuming or detaching from a debug session.

Sequence of events in the problem case:

 1) "cpu sched clock" and "hardware time" are at 100 sec prior
    to a call to kgdb_handle_exception()

 2) Debugger waits in kgdb_handle_exception() for 80 sec and on
    exit the following is called ...  touch_softlockup_watchdog() -->
    __raw_get_cpu_var(touch_timestamp) = 0;

 3) "cpu sched clock" = 100s (it was not updated, because the
    interrupt was disabled in kgdb) but the "hardware time" = 180 sec

 4) The first timer interrupt after resuming from
    kgdb_handle_exception updates the watchdog from the "cpu sched clock"

update_process_times() { ...  run_local_timers() -->
softlockup_tick() --> check (touch_timestamp == 0) (it is "YES"
here, we have set "touch_timestamp = 0" at kgdb) -->
__touch_softlockup_watchdog() ***(A)--> reset "touch_timestamp"
to "get_timestamp()" (Here, the "touch_timestamp" will still be
set to 100s.)  ...

    scheduler_tick() ***(B)--> sched_clock_tick() (update "cpu sched
    clock" to "hardware time" = 180s) ...  }

 5) The Second timer interrupt handler appears to have a large
    jump and trips the softlockup warning.

update_process_times() { ...  run_local_timers() -->
softlockup_tick() --> "cpu sched clock" - "touch_timestamp" =
180s-100s > 60s --> printk "soft lockup error messages" ...  }

note: ***(A) reset "touch_timestamp" to
"get_timestamp(this_cpu)"

Why is "touch_timestamp" 100 sec, instead of 180 sec?

When CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK is set, the call trace of
get_timestamp() is:

get_timestamp(this_cpu)
 -->cpu_clock(this_cpu)
 -->sched_clock_cpu(this_cpu)
 -->__update_sched_clock(sched_clock_data, now)

The __update_sched_clock() function uses the GTOD tick value to
create a window to normalize the "now" values.  So if "now"
value is too big for sched_clock_data, it will be ignored.

The fix is to invoke sched_clock_tick() to update "cpu sched
clock" in order to recover from this state.  This is done by
introducing the function touch_softlockup_watchdog_sync(). This
allows kgdb to request that the sched clock is updated when the
watchdog thread runs the first time after a resume from kgdb.

Jason Wessel cc0967490c x86, hw_breakpoints, kgdb: Fix kgdb to use hw_breakpoint API
In the 2.6.33 kernel, the hw_breakpoint API is now used for the
performance event counters.  The hw_breakpoint_handler() now
consumes the hw breakpoints that were previously set by kgdb
arch specific code.  In order for kgdb to work in conjunction
with this core API change, kgdb must use some of the low level
functions of the hw_breakpoint API to install, uninstall, and
deal with hw breakpoint reservations.

The kgdb core required a change to call kgdb_disable_hw_debug
anytime a slave cpu enters kgdb_wait() in order to keep all the
hw breakpoints in sync as well as to prevent hitting a hw
breakpoint while kgdb is active.

During the architecture specific initialization of kgdb, it will
pre-allocate 4 disabled (struct perf event **) structures.  Kgdb
will use these to manage the capabilities for the 4 hw
breakpoint registers, per cpu.  Right now the hw_breakpoint API
does not have a way to ask how many breakpoints are available,
on each CPU so it is possible that the install of a breakpoint
might fail when kgdb restores the system to the run state.  The
intent of this patch is to first get the basic functionality of
hw breakpoints working and leave it to the person debugging the
kernel to understand what hw breakpoints are in use and what
restrictions have been imposed as a result.  Breakpoint
constraints will be dealt with in a future patch.

While atomic, the x86 specific kgdb code will call
arch_uninstall_hw_breakpoint() and arch_install_hw_breakpoint()
to manage the cpu specific hw breakpoints.

The net result of these changes allow kgdb to use the same pool
of hw_breakpoints that are used by the perf event API, but
neither knows about future reservations for the available hw
breakpoint slots.

Jason Wessel 7f8b7ed6f8 kgdb: Always process the whole breakpoint list on activate or deactivate
This patch fixes 2 edge cases in using kgdb in conjunction with gdb.

1) kgdb_deactivate_sw_breakpoints() should process the entire array of
   breakpoints.  The failure to do so results in breakpoints that you
   cannot remove, because a break point can only be removed if its
   state flag is set to BP_SET.

   The easy way to duplicate this problem is to plant a break point in
   a kernel module and then unload the kernel module.

2) kgdb_activate_sw_breakpoints() should process the entire array of
   breakpoints.  The failure to do so results in missed breakpoints
   when a breakpoint cannot be activated.

Jason Wessel d625e9c0d7 kgdb: continue and warn on signal passing from gdb
On some architectures for the segv trap, gdb wants to pass the signal
back on continue.  For kgdb this is not the default behavior, because
it can cause the kernel to crash if you arbitrarily pass back a
exception outside of kgdb.

Instead of causing instability, pass a message back to gdb about the
supported kgdb signal passing and execute a standard kgdb continue
operation.

Jason Wessel 028e7b1759 kgdb: allow for cpu switch when single stepping
The kgdb core should not assume that a single step operation of a
kernel thread will complete on the same CPU.  The single step flag is
set at the "thread" level and it is possible in a multi cpu system
that a kernel thread can get scheduled on another cpu the next time it
is run.

As a further safety net in case a slave cpu is hung, the debug master
cpu will try 100 times before giving up and assuming control of the
slave cpus is no longer possible.  It is more useful to be able to get
some information out of kgdb instead of spinning forever.

Jason Wessel 364b5b7b1d sysrq, intel_fb: fix sysrq g collision
Commit 79e539453b introduced a
regression where you cannot use sysrq 'g' to enter kgdb.  The solution
is to move the intel fb sysrq over to V for video instead of G for
graphics.  The SMP VOYAGER code to register for the sysrq-v is not
anywhere to be found in the mainline kernel, so the comments in the
code were cleaned up as well.

This patch also cleans up the sysrq definitions for kgdb to make it
generic for the kernel debugger, such that the sysrq 'g' can be used
in the future to enter a gdbstub or another kernel debugger.

Jason Wessel d7161a6534 kgdb, x86, arm, mips, powerpc: ignore user space single stepping
On the x86 arch, user space single step exceptions should be ignored
if they occur in the kernel space, such as ptrace stepping through a
system call.

First check if it is kgdb that is executing a single step, then ensure
it is not an accidental traversal into the user space, while in kgdb,
any other time the TIF_SINGLESTEP is set, kgdb should ignore the
exception.

On x86, arm, mips and powerpc, the kgdb_contthread usage was
inconsistent with the way single stepping is implemented in the kgdb
core.  The arch specific stub should always set the
kgdb_cpu_doing_single_step correctly if it is single stepping.  This
allows kgdb to correctly process an instruction steps if ptrace
happens to be requesting an instruction step over a system call.

Jason Wessel 25fc999913 kgdb: fix gdb serial thread queries
The command "info threads" did not work correctly with kgdb.  It would
result in a silent kernel hang if used.

This patach addresses several problems.
 - Fix use of deprecated NR_CPUS
 - Fix kgdb to not walk linearly through the pid space
 - Correctly implement shadow pids
 - Change the threads per query to a #define
 - Fix kgdb_hex2long to work with negated values

The threads 0 and -1 are reserved to represent the current task.  That
means that CPU 0 will start with a shadow thread id of -2, and CPU 1
will have a shadow thread id of -3, etc...

From the debugger you can switch to a shadow thread to see what one of
the other cpus was doing, however it is not possible to execute run
control operations on any other cpu execept the cpu executing the
kgdb_handle_exception().

Jason Wessel a9b60bf4c2 kgdb: fix kgdb_validate_break_address to perform a mem write
A regression to the kgdb core was found in the case of using the
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA kernel option.  When this option is on, a breakpoint
cannot be written into any readonly memory page.  When an external
debugger requests a breakpoint to get set, the
kgdb_validate_break_address() was only checking to see if the address
to place the breakpoint was readable and lacked a write check.

This patch changes the validate routine to try reading (via the
breakpoint set request) and also to try immediately writing the break
point.  If either fails, an error is correctly returned and the
debugger behaves correctly.  Then an end user can make the
descision to use hardware breakpoints.

Also update the documentation to reflect that using
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA will inhibit the use of software breakpoints.

Jason Wessel 56fb709329 kgdb: fix SMP NMI kgdb_handle_exception exit race
Fix the problem of protecting the kgdb handle_exception exit
which had an NMI race condition, while trying to restore
normal system operation.

There was a small window after the master processor sets cpu_in_debug
to zero but before it has set kgdb_active to zero where a
non-master processor in an SMP system could receive an NMI and
re-enter the kgdb_wait() loop.

As long as the master processor sets the cpu_in_debug before sending
the cpu roundup the cpu_in_debug variable can also be used to guard
against the race condition.

The kgdb_wait() function no longer needs to check
kgdb_active because it is done in the arch specific code
and handled along with the nmi traps at the low level.
This also allows kgdb_wait() to exit correctly if it was
entered for some unknown reason due to a spurious NMI that
could not be handled by the arch specific code.

Jason Wessel 64e9ee3095 kgdb: add x86 HW breakpoints
Add HW breakpoints into the arch specific portion of x86 kgdb.  In the
current x86 kernel.org kernels HW breakpoints are changed out in lazy
fashion because there is no infrastructure around changing them when
changing to a kernel task or entering the kernel mode via a system
call.  This lazy approach means that if a user process uses HW
breakpoints the kgdb will loose out.  This is an acceptable trade off
because the developer debugging the kernel is assumed to know what is
going on system wide and would be aware of this trade off.

There is a minor bug fix to the kgdb core so as to correctly call the
hw breakpoint functions with a valid value from the enum.

There is also a minor change to the x86_64 startup code when using
early HW breakpoints.  When the debugger is connected, the cpu startup
code must not zero out the HW breakpoint registers or you cannot hit
the breakpoints you are interested in, in the first place.
