v3 cover rtc-cmos: Workaround unwanted interrupt generation

We have observed on few machines with rtc-cmos devices that it generates an interrupt before the hpet_rtc_timer_init() call is finished. This leads to hpet_rtc_interrupt() being called before it is fully initialized.

Therefore the while-loop of hpet_cnt_ahead() in hpet_rtc_timer_reinit() never completes. This leads to "NMI watchdog: Watchdog detected hard LOCKUP on cpu 0".

This patch set initializes hpet_default_delta and hpet_t1_cmp before interrupt can be raised.

Changes since V2:
- Improved commit log further
Changes since RFC:
- Commit log of patches has been improved.

PATCH v3 1/2 rtc/hpet: Factorize hpet_rtc_timer_init()

We need the ability to support initialization of hpet_default_delta and hpet_t1_cmp counters before irq can be enabled.

This patch splits hpet_rtc_timer_init() into two functions:
hpet_rtc_timer_counter_init() and hpet_rtc_timer_enable, so that the above functionality can be achieved.

Next patch explains it's need in detail.

No functional change in this patch.

PATCH v3 2/2 rtc/rtc-cmos: Initialize software counters before irq is registered

In reply to Pratyush Anand

We have observed on few x86 machines with rtc-cmos device that hpet_rtc_interrupt() is called just after irq registration and before cmos_do_probe() could call hpet_rtc_timer_init().

So, neither hpet_default_delta nor hpet_t1_cmp is initialized by the time interrupt is raised in the given situation, and this results in NMI watchdog LOCKUP.

It has only been observed sporadically on kdump secondary kernels.

The previous patch split hpet_rtc_timer_init into hpet_rtc_timer_counter_init() and hpet_rtc_timer_enable().

Therefore, this patch moved hpet_rtc_timer_counter_init() before IRQ registration, so that we can gracefully handle such spurious interrupts.

We were able to reproduce the problem in maximum 15 trials of kdump secondary kernel boot on an hp-dl160gen8 machine without this patch. However, more than 35 trials went fine after applying this patch.

The previous patch split hpet_rtc_timer_init into hpet_rtc_timer_counter_init() and hpet_rtc_timer_enable().

Therefore, this patch moved hpet_rtc_timer_counter_init() before IRQ registration, so that we can gracefully handle such spurious interrupts.

We were able to reproduce the problem in maximum 15 trials of kdump secondary kernel boot on an hp-dl160gen8 machine without this patch. However, more than 35 trials went fine after applying this patch.

Can these dummy functions go to /usr/include/linux/hpet.h alont with the #ifdef etc.

Hmm, seems CONFIG_HPET_EMULATE_RTC is x86 only, so maybe go to asm/hpet.h should be better..

Re: [PATCH V3 2/2] rtc/rtc-cmos: Initialize software counters before irq is registered

Hi, Pratyush

Quoted 92 lines · Pratyush Anand

We have observed on few x86 machines with rtc-cmos device that hpet_rtc_interrupt() is called just after irq registration and before cmos_do_probe() could call hpet_rtc_timer_init().

So, neither hpet_default_delta nor hpet_t1_cmp is initialized by the time interrupt is raised in the given situation, and this results in NMI watchdog LOCKUP.

It has only been observed sporadically on kdump secondary kernels.

Oops, asm/hpet will not work since rtc-cmos is also used in other arches., please ignore the comment.

Can these dummy functions go to /usr/include/linux/hpet.h alont with the #ifdef etc.

I kept them here because, similar functions like hpet_set_alarm_time() were already there. So, if you suggest that I should have an additional cleanup patch first, which moves existing #ifdef block to inlcude/linux/hpet.h and this patch adds it's inline in linux/hpet.h, then may be I can take that. But not sure if there is something more to be done which will help the MAINTAINER to take it.

Re: [PATCH V3 2/2] rtc/rtc-cmos: Initialize software counters before irq is registered

Hi, Pratyush,

I'm not sure who is the maintainer to review and take the patches, In MATAINERS file, x86 hpet is orphaned. rtc-cmos may go to rtc maitianer Alessandro Zummo

Ccing Andrew maybe he can also take the patches for orphaned component.

We have observed on few x86 machines with rtc-cmos device that hpet_rtc_interrupt() is called just after irq registration and before cmos_do_probe() could call hpet_rtc_timer_init().

So, neither hpet_default_delta nor hpet_t1_cmp is initialized by the time interrupt is raised in the given situation, and this results in NMI watchdog LOCKUP.

It has only been observed sporadically on kdump secondary kernels.

The previous patch split hpet_rtc_timer_init into hpet_rtc_timer_counter_init() and hpet_rtc_timer_enable().

Therefore, this patch moved hpet_rtc_timer_counter_init() before IRQ registration, so that we can gracefully handle such spurious interrupts.

We were able to reproduce the problem in maximum 15 trials of kdump secondary kernel boot on an hp-dl160gen8 machine without this patch. However, more than 35 trials went fine after applying this patch.

That's a lot of churn to fix that simple problem. The two liner below should fix that as well, right?

Thanks a lot for your reply.

Yes, that should fix. I was n't sure if "setting HPET_TN_ENABLE before IRQ is registered" would be a right step.
I can give it a try, however it is pretty obvious that these two liners should be able to solve the issue. So, if this solution will not have any side effect then, it is fine for me as well.
