v4 cover Improve watchdog config for arch watchdogs

This is the latest series to make the hardlockup watchdog more easily replaceable by arch code. The last patch provides some justification for why we want to do this (existing sparc watchdog is another that could benefit).

Since last time, we tidied up the Kconfig approach so it was not so jumbled -- Thanks Don and Babu for help and suggestions there.

Since last posting the powerpc patch, I re-added the soft-NMI watchdog, but have it using the emergency stack so we can always avoid the process stacks when perf interrupts are soft-masked.

I'm not sure of the best strategy to merge this. The powerpc watchdog is too much to carry anywhere but powerpc tree now, and watchdog patches seem to go via Andrew...

Thanks,
Nick

PATCH v4 2/5 watchdog: introduce arch_touch_nmi_watchdog()

In reply to Nicholas Piggin

For architectures that define HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG, instead of having them provide the complete touch_nmi_watchdog() function, just have them provide arch_touch_nmi_watchdog().

This gives the generic code more flexibility in implementing this function, and arch implementations don't miss out on touching the softlockup watchdog or other generic details.

Probably not. I think it was a holdover from an earlier version where I tried to let the arch declare it (one of the little embedded ones had a comment somewhere saying it would be nice if they could make it inline).

There was some difficulty with it, so yes let's remove these and do that next time.

Thanks,

PATCH v4 3/5 watchdog: split up config options

In reply to Nicholas Piggin

Split SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR from LOCKUP_DETECTOR, and split HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF from HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR.

LOCKUP_DETECTOR implies the general boot, sysctl, and programming interfaces for the lockup detectors.

An architecture that wants to use a hard lockup detector must define HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF or HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH.

Alternatively an arch can define HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG, which provides the minimum arch_touch_nmi_watchdog, and it otherwise does its own thing and does not implement the LOCKUP_DETECTOR interfaces.

sparc is unusual in that it has started to implement some of the interfaces, but not fully yet. It should probably be converted to a full HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH.

Re: [PATCH v4 3/5] watchdog: split up config options

Quoted 13 lines · On Fri, 16 Jun 2017 16:57:13 +1000 Nicholas Piggin <[email protected]> wrote:

Split SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR from LOCKUP_DETECTOR, and split HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF from HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR.

LOCKUP_DETECTOR implies the general boot, sysctl, and programming interfaces for the lockup detectors.

An architecture that wants to use a hard lockup detector must define HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF or HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH.

Alternatively an arch can define HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG, which provides the minimum arch_touch_nmi_watchdog, and it otherwise does its own thing and does not implement the LOCKUP_DETECTOR interfaces.

Quoted 5 lines

sparc is unusual in that it has started to implement some of the interfaces, but not fully yet. It should probably be converted to a full HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH.

I haven't worked out the nm10300 Kconfig warning, but in the meantime Andrew can you fold this patch in please?

Thanks,
Nick

PATCH v4 4/5 watchdog: provide watchdog_reconfigure() for arch watchdogs

In reply to Nicholas Piggin

After reconfiguring watchdog sysctls etc., architecture specific watchdogs may not get all their parameters updated.

watchdog_reconfigure() can be implemented to pull the new values in and set the arch NMI watchdog.

PATCH v4 5/5 powerpc/64s: implement arch-specific hardlockup watchdog

In reply to Nicholas Piggin

Implement an arch-speicfic watchdog rather than use the perf-based hardlockup detector.

The new watchdog takes the soft-NMI directly, rather than going through perf. Perf interrupts are to be made maskable in future, so that would prevent the perf detector from working in those regions.

Additionally, implement a SMP based detector where all CPUs watch one another by pinging a shared cpumask. This is because powerpc Book3S does not have a true periodic local NMI, but some platforms do implement a true NMI IPI.

If a CPU is stuck with interrupts hard disabled, the soft-NMI watchdog does not work, but the SMP watchdog will. Even on platforms without a true NMI IPI to get a good trace from the stuck CPU, other CPUs will notice the lockup sufficiently to report it and panic.

This is the latest series to make the hardlockup watchdog more easily replaceable by arch code. The last patch provides some justification for why we want to do this (existing sparc watchdog is another that could benefit).

Since last time, we tidied up the Kconfig approach so it was not so jumbled -- Thanks Don and Babu for help and suggestions there.

Thanks Nick! I think this version is good enough for now.

Since last posting the powerpc patch, I re-added the soft-NMI watchdog, but have it using the emergency stack so we can always avoid the process stacks when perf interrupts are soft-masked.

I'm not sure of the best strategy to merge this. The powerpc watchdog is too much to carry anywhere but powerpc tree now, and watchdog patches seem to go via Andrew...

Andrew, suggestions here?

This is the latest series to make the hardlockup watchdog more easily replaceable by arch code. The last patch provides some justification for why we want to do this (existing sparc watchdog is another that could benefit).

Since last time, we tidied up the Kconfig approach so it was not so jumbled -- Thanks Don and Babu for help and suggestions there.

Thanks Nick! I think this version is good enough for now.
