I've spent the last 20m looking at the code and I can't see what prevents other CPUs from coming and going while we're trying to IPI a non-atomic copy of 'cpu_online_mask'. Will

I don't think there is anything. ...and it's not just this code either. It sure looks like nmi_trigger_cpumask_backtrace() has the same problem. I guess maybe in the case of nmi_trigger_cpumask_backtrace() it's not such a big deal because: 1. If a CPU goes away then we'll just time out 2. If a CPU shows up then we'll skip backtracing it, but we were sending backtraces at an instant in time anyway. In the case of smp_send_stop() it's probably fine if a CPU goes away because, again, we'll just timeout. ...but if a CPU shows up then that's not super ideal. Maybe it doesn't cause problems in practice but it does feel like it should be fixed. -Doug

On the other hand, I really don't fancy taking a CPU hotplug mutex on the panic() path, so it's hard to know what's best. I suppose one thing we could do is recompute the mask before sending the NMI, which should make it a little more robust in that case. It still feels fragile, but it's no worse than the existing code, I suppose. Will

I agree -- I noticed this a while ago [1], and I added cpus_read_lock/unlock() on the caller side, because having the locks inside callees can be a problem for callers who can't sleep. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/ZnkGps-vQbiynNwP@google.com/ Also, do the handlers always see `crash_stop` set by the sender? If not, would it be a problem? (In the above link, it has to do extra work to make sure that handlers eventually see any updated values.) > It sure looks like nmi_trigger_cpumask_backtrace() has the > same problem. > > I guess maybe in the case of nmi_trigger_cpumask_backtrace() it's not > such a big deal because: > 1.

Basically it's just replacing `cpumask_and(&mask, &mask, cpu_online_mask)` with `cpumask_copy(&mask, cpu_online_mask); cpumask_clear_cpu(smp_processor_id(), &mask);` in the case where we fallback to NMI. If you're happy with the patch I'm also happy if you make this change while applying. BTW: if you want to dig into what's (possibly) another preexisting race condition that I think I noticed while coding this up, I suspect that "kcrash" will end up lacking info on a CPU any time we end up in the panic_smp_self_stop() case. Trying to do something about that felt a bit far afield for me, though. -Doug

It's been a while since I wrote the original patch but I seem to remember thinking that I didn't need to do anything special. Tracing through the code again, I see in gic_ipi_send_mask() the comment: /* * Ensure that stores to Normal memory are visible to the * other CPUs before they observe us issuing the IPI. */ dmb(ishst); ...so I think that means we're fine, right?

When testing hard lockup handling on my sc7180-trogdor-lazor device with pseudo-NMI enabled, with serial console enabled and with kgdb disabled, I found that the stack crawls printed to the serial console ended up as a jumbled mess. After rebooting, the pstore-based console looked fine though. Also, enabling kgdb to trap the panic made the console look fine and avoided the mess. After a bit of tracking down, I came to the conclusion that this was what was happening: 1. The panic path was stopping all other CPUs with panic_other_cpus_shutdown(). 2. At least one of those other CPUs was in the middle of printing to the serial console and holding the console port's lock, which is grabbed with "irqsave". ...but since we were stopping with an NMI we didn't care about the "irqsave" and interrupted anyway. 3. Since we stopped the CPU while it was holding the lock it would never release it. 4. All future calls to output to the console would end up failing to get the lock in qcom_geni_serial_console_write(). This isn't _totally_ unexpected at panic time but it's a code path that's not well tested, hard to get right, and apparently doesn't work terribly well on the Qualcomm geni serial driver. The Qualcomm geni serial driver was fixed to be a bit better in commit 9e957a155005 ("serial: qcom-geni: Don't cancel/abort if we can't get the port lock") but it's nice not to get into this situation in the first place. Taking a page from what x86 appears to do in native_stop_other_cpus(), do this: 1. First, try to stop other CPUs with a normal IPI and wait a second. This gives them a chance to leave critical sections. 2. If CPUs fail to stop then retry with an NMI, but give a much lower timeout since there's no good reason for a CPU not to react quickly to a NMI. This works well and avoids the corrupted console and (presumably) could help avoid other similar issues. In order to do this, we need to do a little re-organization of our IPIs since we don't have any more free IDs. Do what was suggested in previous conversations and combine "stop" and "crash stop". That frees up an IPI so now we can have a "stop" and "stop NMI". In order to do this we also need a slight change in the way we keep track of which CPUs still need to be stopped. We need to know specifically which CPUs haven't stopped yet when we fall back to NMI but in the "crash stop" case the "cpu_online_mask" isn't updated as CPUs go down. This is why that code path had an atomic of the number of CPUs left. Solve this by also updating the "cpu_online_mask" for crash stops. All of the above lets us combine the logic for "stop" and "crash stop" code, which appeared to have a bunch of arbitrary implementation differences. Aside from the above change where we try a normal IPI and then an NMI, the combined function has a few subtle differences: * In the normal smp_send_stop(), if we fail to stop one or more CPUs then we won't include the current CPU (the one running smp_send_stop()) in the error message. * In crash_smp_send_stop(), if we fail to stop some CPUs we'll print the CPUs that we failed to stop instead of printing all _but_ the current running CPU. * In crash_smp_send_stop(), we will now only print "SMP: stopping secondary CPUs" if (system_state <= SYSTEM_RUNNING). Fixes: d7402513c935 ("arm64: smp: IPI_CPU_STOP and IPI_CPU_CRASH_STOP should try for NMI") Signed-off-by: Douglas Anderson <dianders@chromium.org> --- I'm not setup to test the crash_smp_send_stop(). I made sure it compiled and hacked the panic() method to call it, but I haven't actually run kexec. Hopefully others can confirm that it's working for them. v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231207170251.1.Id4817adef610302554b8aa42b090d57270dc119c@changeid Changes in v2: - Update commit message to point to Qualcomm serial driver fix. - Use a test-and-set to prevent stop code from running twice. - Move mask clearing until after crash_save_cpu(). - Use local_daif_mask() in ipi_cpu_crash_stop(). - Don't use a new mask, just have crash case update online CPUs. arch/arm64/kernel/smp.c | 138 ++++++++++++++++++++++------------------ 1 file changed, 75 insertions(+), 63 deletions(-)
