2017-03-02sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to ↵Ingo Molnar1-0/+1
<linux/sched/debug.h> We are going to split <linux/sched/debug.h> out of <linux/sched.h>, which will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files. Create a trivial placeholder <linux/sched/debug.h> file that just maps to <linux/sched.h> to make this patch obviously correct and bisectable. Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

2016-11-26taint/module: Clean up global and module taint flags handlingPetr Mladek1-28/+25
The commit 66cc69e34e86a231 ("Fix: module signature vs tracepoints: add new TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE") updated module_taint_flags() to potentially print one more character. But it did not increase the size of the corresponding buffers in m_show() and print_modules(). We have recently done the same mistake when adding a taint flag for livepatching, see https://lkml.kernel.org/r/cfba2c823bb984690b73572aaae1db596b54a082.1472137475.git.jpoimboe@redhat.com Also struct module uses an incompatible type for mod-taints flags. It survived from the commit 2bc2d61a9638dab670d ("[PATCH] list module taint flags in Oops/panic"). There was used "int" for the global taint flags at these times. But only the global tain flags was later changed to "unsigned long" by the commit 25ddbb18aae33ad2 ("Make the taint flags reliable"). This patch defines TAINT_FLAGS_COUNT that can be used to create arrays and buffers of the right size. Note that we could not use enum because the taint flag indexes are used also in assembly code. Then it reworks the table that describes the taint flags. The TAINT_* numbers can be used as the index. Instead, we add information if the taint flag is also shown per-module. Finally, it uses "unsigned long", bit operations, and the updated taint_flags table also for mod->taints. It is not optimal because only few taint flags can be printed by module_taint_flags(). But better be on the safe side. IMHO, it is not worth the optimization and this is a good compromise.

2016-10-11x86/panic: replace smp_send_stop() with kdump friendly version in panic pathHidehiro Kawai1-7/+40
Daniel Walker reported problems which happens when crash_kexec_post_notifiers kernel option is enabled (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/6/24/44). In that case, smp_send_stop() is called before entering kdump routines which assume other CPUs are still online. As the result, for x86, kdump routines fail to save other CPUs' registers and disable virtualization extensions. To fix this problem, call a new kdump friendly function, crash_smp_send_stop(), instead of the smp_send_stop() when crash_kexec_post_notifiers is enabled. crash_smp_send_stop() is a weak function, and it just call smp_send_stop(). Architecture codes should override it so that kdump can work appropriately. This patch only provides x86-specific version. For Xen's PV kernel, just keep the current behavior. NOTES: - Right solution would be to place crash_smp_send_stop() before __crash_kexec() invocation in all cases and remove smp_send_stop(), but we can't do that until all architectures implement own crash_smp_send_stop() - crash_smp_send_stop()-like work is still needed by machine_crash_shutdown() because crash_kexec() can be called without entering panic() Fixes: f06e5153f4ae (kernel/panic.c: add "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" option) Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160810080948.11028.15344.stgit@sysi4-13.yrl.intra.hitachi.co.jp Signed-off-by: Hidehiro Kawai <hidehiro.kawai.ez@hitachi.com> Reported-by: Daniel Walker <dwalker@fifo99.com> Cc: Dave Young <dyoung@redhat.com> Cc: Baoquan He <bhe@redhat.com> Cc: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Cc: Eric Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Cc: Daniel Walker <dwalker@fifo99.com> Cc: Xunlei Pang <xpang@redhat.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: "H.

2016-05-20printk/nmi: flush NMI messages on the system panicPetr Mladek1-1/+5
In NMI context, printk() messages are stored into per-CPU buffers to avoid a possible deadlock. They are normally flushed to the main ring buffer via an IRQ work. But the work is never called when the system calls panic() in the very same NMI handler. This patch tries to flush NMI buffers before the crash dump is generated. In this case it does not risk a double release and bails out when the logbuf_lock is already taken. The aim is to get the messages into the main ring buffer when possible. It makes them better accessible in the vmcore. Then the patch tries to flush the buffers second time when other CPUs are down. It might be more aggressive and reset logbuf_lock. The aim is to get the messages available for the consequent kmsg_dump() and console_flush_on_panic() calls. The patch causes vprintk_emit() to be called even in NMI context again. But it is done via printk_deferred() so that the console handling is skipped. Consoles use internal locks and we could not prevent a deadlock easily. They are explicitly called later when the crash dump is not generated, see console_flush_on_panic().

2016-03-22panic: change nmi_panic from macro to functionHidehiro Kawai1-0/+20
Commit 1717f2096b54 ("panic, x86: Fix re-entrance problem due to panic on NMI") and commit 58c5661f2144 ("panic, x86: Allow CPUs to save registers even if looping in NMI context") introduced nmi_panic() which prevents concurrent/recursive execution of panic(). It also saves registers for the crash dump on x86. However, there are some cases where NMI handlers still use panic(). This patch set partially replaces them with nmi_panic() in those cases. Even this patchset is applied, some NMI or similar handlers (e.g. MCE handler) continue to use panic(). This is because I can't test them well and actual problems won't happen. For example, the possibility that normal panic and panic on MCE happen simultaneously is very low. This patch (of 3): Convert nmi_panic() to a proper function and export it instead of exporting internal implementation details to modules, for obvious reasons.

2016-03-17lib/bug.c: use common WARN helperJosh Poimboeuf1-15/+26
The traceoff_on_warning option doesn't have any effect on s390, powerpc, arm64, parisc, and sh because there are two different types of WARN implementations: 1) The above mentioned architectures treat WARN() as a special case of a BUG() exception. They handle warnings in report_bug() in lib/bug.c. 2) All other architectures just call warn_slowpath_*() directly. Their warnings are handled in warn_slowpath_common() in kernel/panic.c. Support traceoff_on_warning on all architectures and prevent any future divergence by using a single common function to emit the warning. Also remove the '()' from '%pS()', because the parentheses look funky: [ 45.607629] WARNING: at /root/warn_mod/warn_mod.c:17 .init_dummy+0x20/0x40 [warn_mod]() Reported-by: Chunyu Hu <chuhu@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@redhat.com> Acked-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Tested-by: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com> Acked-by: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com> Acked-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2016-01-16printk: do cond_resched() between lines while outputting to consolesTejun Heo1-2/+1
@console_may_schedule tracks whether console_sem was acquired through lock or trylock. If the former, we're inside a sleepable context and console_conditional_schedule() performs cond_resched(). This allows console drivers which use console_lock for synchronization to yield while performing time-consuming operations such as scrolling. However, the actual console outputting is performed while holding irq-safe logbuf_lock, so console_unlock() clears @console_may_schedule before starting outputting lines. Also, only a few drivers call console_conditional_schedule() to begin with. This means that when a lot of lines need to be output by console_unlock(), for example on a console registration, the task doing console_unlock() may not yield for a long time on a non-preemptible kernel. If this happens with a slow console devices, for example a serial console, the outputting task may occupy the cpu for a very long time. Long enough to trigger softlockup and/or RCU stall warnings, which in turn pile more messages, sometimes enough to trigger the next cycle of warnings incapacitating the system. Fix it by making console_unlock() insert cond_resched() between lines if @console_may_schedule.

2015-12-19kexec: Fix race between panic() and crash_kexec()Hidehiro Kawai1-2/+6
Currently, panic() and crash_kexec() can be called at the same time. For example (x86 case): CPU 0: oops_end() crash_kexec() mutex_trylock() // acquired nmi_shootdown_cpus() // stop other CPUs CPU 1: panic() crash_kexec() mutex_trylock() // failed to acquire smp_send_stop() // stop other CPUs infinite loop If CPU 1 calls smp_send_stop() before nmi_shootdown_cpus(), kdump fails. In another case: CPU 0: oops_end() crash_kexec() mutex_trylock() // acquired <NMI> io_check_error() panic() crash_kexec() mutex_trylock() // failed to acquire infinite loop Clearly, this is an undesirable result. To fix this problem, this patch changes crash_kexec() to exclude others by using the panic_cpu atomic.

2015-12-19panic, x86: Allow CPUs to save registers even if looping in NMI contextHidehiro Kawai1-0/+9
Currently, kdump_nmi_shootdown_cpus(), a subroutine of crash_kexec(), sends an NMI IPI to CPUs which haven't called panic() to stop them, save their register information and do some cleanups for crash dumping. However, if such a CPU is infinitely looping in NMI context, we fail to save its register information into the crash dump. For example, this can happen when unknown NMIs are broadcast to all CPUs as follows: CPU 0 CPU 1 =========================== ========================== receive an unknown NMI unknown_nmi_error() panic() receive an unknown NMI spin_trylock(&panic_lock) unknown_nmi_error() crash_kexec() panic() spin_trylock(&panic_lock) panic_smp_self_stop() infinite loop kdump_nmi_shootdown_cpus() issue NMI IPI -----------> blocked until IRET infinite loop... Here, since CPU 1 is in NMI context, the second NMI from CPU 0 is blocked until CPU 1 executes IRET. However, CPU 1 never executes IRET, so the NMI is not handled and the callback function to save registers is never called. In practice, this can happen on some servers which broadcast NMIs to all CPUs when the NMI button is pushed. To save registers in this case, we need to: a) Return from NMI handler instead of looping infinitely or b) Call the callback function directly from the infinite loop Inherently, a) is risky because NMI is also used to prevent corrupted data from being propagated to devices. So, we chose b). This patch does the following: 1. Move the infinite looping of CPUs which haven't called panic() in NMI context (actually done by panic_smp_self_stop()) outside of panic() to enable us to refer pt_regs. Please note that panic_smp_self_stop() is still used for normal context. 2. Call a callback of kdump_nmi_shootdown_cpus() directly to save registers and do some cleanups after setting waiting_for_crash_ipi which is used for counting down the number of CPUs which handled the callback Signed-off-by: Hidehiro Kawai <hidehiro.kawai.ez@hitachi.com> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Aaron Tomlin <atomlin@redhat.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Cc: Baoquan He <bhe@redhat.com> Cc: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@ezchip.com> Cc: Dave Young <dyoung@redhat.com> Cc: David Hildenbrand <dahi@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Don Zickus <dzickus@redhat.com> Cc: Eric Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Gobinda Charan Maji <gobinda.cemk07@gmail.com> Cc: HATAYAMA Daisuke <d.hatayama@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Hidehiro Kawai <hidehiro.kawai.ez@hitachi.com> Cc: "H.

2015-12-19panic, x86: Fix re-entrance problem due to panic on NMIHidehiro Kawai1-3/+13
If panic on NMI happens just after panic() on the same CPU, panic() is recursively called. Kernel stalls, as a result, after failing to acquire panic_lock. To avoid this problem, don't call panic() in NMI context if we've already entered panic(). For that, introduce nmi_panic() macro to reduce code duplication. In the case of panic on NMI, don't return from NMI handlers if another CPU already panicked.

2015-11-20kernel/panic.c: turn off locks debug before releasing console lockVitaly Kuznetsov1-1/+4
Commit 08d78658f393 ("panic: release stale console lock to always get the logbuf printed out") introduced an unwanted bad unlock balance report when panic() is called directly and not from OOPS (e.g. from out_of_memory()). The difference is that in case of OOPS we disable locks debug in oops_enter() and on direct panic call nobody does that.

2015-11-06panic: release stale console lock to always get the logbuf printed outVitaly Kuznetsov1-0/+10
In some cases we may end up killing the CPU holding the console lock while still having valuable data in logbuf. E.g. I'm observing the following: - A crash is happening on one CPU and console_unlock() is being called on some other. - console_unlock() tries to print out the buffer before releasing the lock and on slow console it takes time. - in the meanwhile crashing CPU does lots of printk()-s with valuable data (which go to the logbuf) and sends IPIs to all other CPUs. - console_unlock() finishes printing previous chunk and enables interrupts before trying to print out the rest, the CPU catches the IPI and never releases console lock. This is not the only possible case: in VT/fb subsystems we have many other console_lock()/console_unlock() users. Non-masked interrupts (or receiving NMI in case of extreme slowness) will have the same result. Getting the whole console buffer printed out on crash should be top priority.

2015-06-30kernel/panic/kexec: fix "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" option issue in oops pathHATAYAMA Daisuke1-1/+1
Commit f06e5153f4ae2e ("kernel/panic.c: add "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" option for kdump after panic_notifers") introduced "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" kernel boot option, which toggles wheather panic() calls crash_kexec() before panic_notifiers and dump kmsg or after. The problem is that the commit overlooks panic_on_oops kernel boot option. If it is enabled, crash_kexec() is called directly without going through panic() in oops path. To fix this issue, this patch adds a check to "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" in the condition of kexec_should_crash(). Also, put a comment in kexec_should_crash() to explain not obvious things on this patch.

2014-12-10kernel: add panic_on_warnPrarit Bhargava1-0/+13
There have been several times where I have had to rebuild a kernel to cause a panic when hitting a WARN() in the code in order to get a crash dump from a system. Sometimes this is easy to do, other times (such as in the case of a remote admin) it is not trivial to send new images to the user. A much easier method would be a switch to change the WARN() over to a panic. This makes debugging easier in that I can now test the actual image the WARN() was seen on and I do not have to engage in remote debugging. This patch adds a panic_on_warn kernel parameter and /proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_warn calls panic() in the warn_slowpath_common() path. The function will still print out the location of the warning. An example of the panic_on_warn output: The first line below is from the WARN_ON() to output the WARN_ON()'s location. After that the panic() output is displayed.

panic_notifers Add a "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" boot option to run kdump after running panic_notifiers and dump kmsg. This can help rare situations where kdump fails because of unstable crashed kernel or hardware failure (memory corruption on critical data/code), or the 2nd kernel is already broken by the 1st kernel (it's a broken behavior, but who can guarantee that the "crashed" kernel works correctly?). Usage: add "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" to kernel boot option. Note that this actually increases risks of the failure of kdump. This option should be set only if you worry about the rare case of kdump failure rather than increasing the chance of success.

2014-03-13Fix: module signature vs tracepoints: add new TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULEMathieu Desnoyers1-0/+2
Users have reported being unable to trace non-signed modules loaded within a kernel supporting module signature. This is caused by tracepoint.c:tracepoint_module_coming() refusing to take into account tracepoints sitting within force-loaded modules (TAINT_FORCED_MODULE). The reason for this check, in the first place, is that a force-loaded module may have a struct module incompatible with the layout expected by the kernel, and can thus cause a kernel crash upon forced load of that module on a kernel with CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS=y. Tracepoints, however, specifically accept TAINT_OOT_MODULE and TAINT_CRAP, since those modules do not lead to the "very likely system crash" issue cited above for force-loaded modules. With kernels having CONFIG_MODULE_SIG=y (signed modules), a non-signed module is tainted re-using the TAINT_FORCED_MODULE taint flag. Unfortunately, this means that Tracepoints treat that module as a force-loaded module, and thus silently refuse to consider any tracepoint within this module. Since an unsigned module does not fit within the "very likely system crash" category of tainting, add a new TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE taint flag to specifically address this taint behavior, and accept those modules within Tracepoints. We use the letter 'X' as a taint flag character for a module being loaded that doesn't know how to sign its name (proposed by Steven Rostedt). Also add the missing 'O' entry to trace event show_module_flags() list for the sake of completeness.

Add a traceoff_on_warning option in both the kernel command line as well as a sysctl option. When set, any WARN*() function that is hit will cause the tracing_on variable to be cleared, which disables writing to the ring buffer. This is useful especially when tracing a bug with function tracing. When a warning is hit, the print caused by the warning can flood the trace with the functions that producing the output for the warning. This can make the resulting trace useless by either hiding where the bug happened, or worse, by overflowing the buffer and losing the trace of the bug totally.

2013-04-30dump_stack: implement arch-specific hardware description in task dumpsTejun Heo1-6/+0
x86 and ia64 can acquire extra hardware identification information from DMI and print it along with task dumps; however, the usage isn't consistent. * x86 show_regs() collects vendor, product and board strings and print them out with PID, comm and utsname. Some of the information is printed again later in the same dump. * warn_slowpath_common() explicitly accesses the DMI board and prints it out with "Hardware name:" label. This applies to both x86 and ia64 but is irrelevant on all other archs. * ia64 doesn't show DMI information on other non-WARN dumps. This patch introduces arch-specific hardware description used by dump_stack(). It can be set by calling dump_stack_set_arch_desc() during boot and, if exists, printed out in a separate line with "Hardware name:" label. dmi_set_dump_stack_arch_desc() is added which sets arch-specific description from DMI data. It uses dmi_ids_string[] which is set from dmi_present() used for DMI debug message. It is superset of the information x86 show_regs() is using. The function is called from x86 and ia64 boot code right after dmi_scan_machine(). This makes the explicit DMI handling in warn_slowpath_common() unnecessary.

2012-07-30panic: fix a possible deadlock in panic()Vikram Mulukutla1-0/+8
panic_lock is meant to ensure that panic processing takes place only on one cpu; if any of the other cpus encounter a panic, they will spin waiting to be shut down. However, this causes a regression in this scenario: 1. Cpu 0 encounters a panic and acquires the panic_lock and proceeds with the panic processing. 2. There is an interrupt on cpu 0 that also encounters an error condition and invokes panic. 3. This second invocation fails to acquire the panic_lock and enters the infinite while loop in panic_smp_self_stop. Thus all panic processing is stopped, and the cpu is stuck for eternity in the while(1) inside panic_smp_self_stop. To address this, disable local interrupts with local_irq_disable before acquiring the panic_lock. This will prevent interrupt handlers from executing during the panic processing, thus avoiding this particular problem.

2012-04-12panic: fix stack dump print on direct call to panic()Jason Wessel1-1/+1
Commit 6e6f0a1f0fa6 ("panic: don't print redundant backtraces on oops") causes a regression where no stack trace will be printed at all for the case where kernel code calls panic() directly while not processing an oops, and of course there are 100's of instances of this type of call. The original commit executed the check (!oops_in_progress), but this will always be false because just before the dump_stack() there is a call to bust_spinlocks(1), which does the following: void __attribute__((weak)) bust_spinlocks(int yes) { if (yes) { ++oops_in_progress; The proper way to resolve the problem that original commit tried to solve is to avoid printing a stack dump from panic() when the either of the following conditions is true: 1) TAINT_DIE has been set (this is done by oops_end()) This indicates and oops has already been printed. 2) oops_in_progress > 1 This guards against the rare case where panic() is invoked a second time, or in between oops_begin() and oops_end() Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> [3.3+] Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2012-01-12panic: don't print redundant backtraces on oopsAndi Kleen1-1/+5
When an oops causes a panic and panic prints another backtrace it's pretty common to have the original oops data be scrolled away on a 80x50 screen. The second backtrace is quite redundant and not needed anyways. So don't print the panic backtrace when oops_in_progress is true.

2012-01-12kdump: fix crash_kexec()/smp_send_stop() race in panic()Michael Holzheu1-1/+17
When two CPUs call panic at the same time there is a possible race condition that can stop kdump. The first CPU calls crash_kexec() and the second CPU calls smp_send_stop() in panic() before crash_kexec() finished on the first CPU. So the second CPU stops the first CPU and therefore kdump fails: 1st CPU: panic()->crash_kexec()->mutex_trylock(&kexec_mutex)-> do kdump 2nd CPU: panic()->crash_kexec()->kexec_mutex already held by 1st CPU ->smp_send_stop()-> stop 1st CPU (stop kdump) This patch fixes the problem by introducing a spinlock in panic that allows only one CPU to process crash_kexec() and the subsequent panic code. All other CPUs call the weak function panic_smp_self_stop() that stops the CPU itself. This function can be overloaded by architecture code. For example "tile" can use their lower-power "nap" instruction for that.

2011-12-07lockdep, bug: Exclude TAINT_OOT_MODULE from disabling lock debuggingBen Hutchings1-2/+3
We do want to allow lock debugging for GPL-compatible modules that are not (yet) built in-tree. This was disabled as a side-effect of commit 2449b8ba0745327c5fa49a8d9acffe03b2eded69 ('module,bug: Add TAINT_OOT_MODULE flag for modules not built in-tree'). Lock debug warnings now include taint flags, so kernel developers should still be able to deflect warnings caused by out-of-tree modules. The TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE flag for non-GPL-compatible modules will still disable lock debugging.

It's unlikely that TAINT_FIRMWARE_WORKAROUND causes false lockdep messages, so do not disable lockdep in that case. We still want to keep lockdep disabled in the TAINT_OOT_MODULE case: - bin-only modules can cause various instabilities in their and in unrelated kernel code - they are impossible to debug for kernel developers - they also typically do not have the copyright license permission to link to the GPL-ed lockdep code.
