2009-09-14[IA64] kdump: Short path to freeze CPUsHidetoshi Seto
Setting monarch_cpu = -1 to let slaves frozen might not work, because there might be slaves being late, not entered the rendezvous yet. Such slaves might be caught in while (monarch_cpu == -1) loop. Use kdump_in_progress instead of monarch_cpus to break INIT rendezvous and let all slaves enter DIE_INIT_SLAVE_LEAVE smoothly. And monarch no longer need to manage rendezvous if once kdump_in_progress is set, catch the monarch in DIE_INIT_MONARCH_ENTER then.

2009-09-14[IA64] kdump: Try INIT regardless ofHidetoshi Seto
kdump_on_init CPUs should be frozen if possible, otherwise it might hinder kdump. So if there are CPUs not respond to IPI, try INIT to stop them.

2009-09-14[IA64] kdump: Mask INIT first in panic-kdump pathHidetoshi Seto
Summary: Asserting INIT might block kdump if the system is already going to start kdump via panic. Description: INIT can interrupt anywhere in panic path, so it can interrupt in middle of kdump kicked by panic. Therefore there is a race if kdump is kicked concurrently, via Panic and via INIT. INIT could fail to invoke kdump if the system is already going to start kdump via panic. It could not restart kdump from INIT handler if some of cpus are already playing dead with INIT masked. It also means that INIT could block kdump's progress if no monarch is entered in the INIT rendezvous. Panic+INIT is a rare, but possible situation since it can be assumed that the kernel or an internal agent decides to panic the unstable system while another external agent decides to send an INIT to the system at same time. How to reproduce: Assert INIT just after panic, before all other cpus have frozen Expected results: continue kdump invoked by panic, or restart kdump from INIT Actual results: might be hang, crashdump not retrieved Proposed Fix: This patch masks INIT first in panic path to take the initiative on kdump, and reuse atomic value kdump_in_progress to make sure there is only one initiator of kdump. All INITs asserted later should be used only for freezing all other cpus. This mask will be removed soon by rfi in relocate_kernel.S, before jump into kdump kernel, after all cpus are frozen and no-op INIT handler is registered. So if INIT was in the interval while it is masked, it will pend on the system and will received just after the rfi, and handled by the no-op handler. If there was a MCA event while psr.mc is 1, in theory the event will pend on the system and will received just after the rfi same as above. MCA handler is unregistered here at the time, so received MCA will not reach to OS_MCA and will result in warmboot by SAL. Note that codes in this masked interval are relatively simpler than that in MCA/INIT handler which also executed with the mask. So it can be said that probability of error in this interval is supposed not so higher than that in MCA/INIT handler.

2009-09-14[IA64] kdump: Don't return APs to SAL from kdumpHidetoshi Seto
Summary: Asserting INIT on cpu going to be offline will result in unexpected behavior. It will be a real problem in kdump cases where INIT might be asserted to unstable APs going to be offline by returning to SAL. Description: Since psr.mc is cleared when bits in psr are set to SAL_PSR_BITS_TO_SET in ia64_jump_to_sal(), there is a small window (~few msecs) that the cpu can receive INIT even if the cpu enter there via INIT handler. In this window we do restore of registers for SAL, so INIT asserted here will not work properly. It is hard to remove this window by masking INIT (i.e. setting psr.mc) because we have to unmask it later in OS, because we have to use branch instruction (br.ret, not rfi) to return SAL, due to OS_BOOT_RENDEZ to SAL return convention. I suppose this window will not be a real problem on cpu offline if we can educate people not to push INIT button during hotplug operation. However, only exception is a race in kdump and INIT. Now kdump returns APs to SAL before processing dump, but the kernel might receive INIT at that point in time. Such INIT might be asserted by kdump itself if an AP doesn't react IPI soon and kdump decided to use INIT to stop the AP. Or it might be asserted by operator or an external agent to start dump on the unstable system. Such panic+INIT or INIT+INIT cases should be rare, but it will be happy if we can retrieve crashdump even in such cases. How to reproduce: panic+INIT or INIT+INIT, with kdump configured Expected results: crashdump is retrieved anyway Actual results: panic, hang etc. (unexpected) Proposed fix To avoid the window on the way to SAL, this patch stops returning APs to SAL in case of kdump. In other words, this patch makes APs spin in OS instead of spinning in SAL. (* Note: What impact would be there? If a cpu is spinning in SAL, the cpu is in BOOT_RENDEZ loop, as same as offlined cpu. In theory if an INIT is asserted there, cpus in the BOOT_RENDEZ loop should not invoke OS_INIT on it. So in either way, no matter where the cpu is spinning actually in, once cpu starts spin and act as "frozen," INIT on the cpu have no effects. From another point of view, all debug information on the cpu should have stored to memory before the cpu start to be frozen. So no more action on the cpu is required.) I confirmed that the kdump sometime hangs by concurrent INITs (another INIT after an INIT), and it doesn't hang after applying this patch.

2009-09-14[IA64] kdump: Mask MCA/INIT on frozen cpusHidetoshi Seto
Summary: INIT asserted on kdump kernel invokes INIT handler not only on a cpu that running on the kdump kernel, but also BSP of the panicked kernel, because the (badly) frozen BSP can be thawed by INIT. Description: The kdump_cpu_freeze() is called on cpus except one that initiates panic and/or kdump, to stop/offline the cpu (on ia64, it means we pass control of cpus to SAL, or put them in spinloop). Note that CPU0(BSP) always go to spinloop, so if panic was happened on an AP, there are at least 2cpus (= the AP and BSP) which not back to SAL. On the spinning cpus, interrupts are disabled (rsm psr.i), but INIT is still interruptible because psr.mc for mask them is not set unless kdump_cpu_freeze() is not called from MCA/INIT context. Therefore, assume that a panic was happened on an AP, kdump was invoked, new INIT handlers for kdump kernel was registered and then an INIT is asserted. From the viewpoint of SAL, there are 2 online cpus, so INIT will be delivered to both of them. It likely means that not only the AP (= a cpu executing kdump) enters INIT handler which is newly registered, but also BSP (= another cpu spinning in panicked kernel) enters the same INIT handler. Of course setting of registers in BSP are still old (for panicked kernel), so what happen with running handler with wrong setting will be extremely unexpected. I believe this is not desirable behavior. How to Reproduce: Start kdump on one of APs (e.g. cpu1) # taskset 0x2 echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger Then assert INIT after kdump kernel is booted, after new INIT handler for kdump kernel is registered. Expected results: An INIT handler is invoked only on the AP. Actual results: An INIT handler is invoked on the AP and BSP. Sample of results: I got following console log by asserting INIT after prompt "root:/>". It seems that two monarchs appeared by one INIT, and one panicked at last. And it also seems that the panicked one supposed there were 4 online cpus and no one did rendezvous: : [ 0 %]dropping to initramfs shell exiting this shell will reboot your system root:/> Entered OS INIT handler. PSP=fff301a0 cpu=0 monarch=0 ia64_init_handler: Promoting cpu 0 to monarch. Delaying for 5 seconds...

OS INIT slave did not rendezvous on cpu 1 2 3 INIT swapper 0[0]: bugcheck! 0 [1] : <<snip>> : Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task! Proposed fix: To avoid this problem, this patch inserts ia64_set_psr_mc() to mask INIT on cpus going to be frozen. This masking have no effect if the kdump_cpu_freeze() is called from INIT handler when kdump_on_init == 1, because psr.mc is already turned on to 1 before entering OS_INIT. I confirmed that weird log like above are disappeared after applying this patch.

2008-04-15[IA64] kdump: Add crash_save_vmcoreinfo for INITTakao Indoh
This patch fixes the problem that kdump by INIT does not work if we use makedumpfile. The problem is that after INIT is issued, 2nd kernel starts and makedumpfile fails with the following error message. /proc/vmcore doesn't contain vmcoreinfo. '-x' or '-i' must be specified. makedumpfile Failed. The cause of this problem is that kernel does not call crash_save_vmcoreinfo. When kdump starts by panic or sysrq-trigger, crash_save_vmcoreinfo is called by crash_kexec. But this function is not called when kdump starts by INIT. The Attached patch fixes this. This patch just adds crash_save_vmcoreinfo into machine_kdump_on_init so that crash_save_vmcoreinfo can be called when kdump starts by INIT.

2008-04-09[IA64] kdump: add kdump_on_fatal_mcaHidetoshi Seto
While it is convenient that we can invoke kdump by asserting INIT via button on chassis etc., there are some situations that invoking kdump on fatal MCA is not welcomed rather than rebooting fast without dump. This patch adds a new flag 'kdump_on_fatal_mca' that is independent from 'kdump_on_init' currently available. Adding this flag enable us to turning on/off of kdump depend on the event, INIT and/or fatal MCA. Default for this flag is to take the dump.

2007-10-12[IA64] Fix kernel hangup in kdump on INITKenji Kaneshige
Fix the problem that kdump on INIT hung up if kdump kernel image is not configured. The kdump_init_notifier() on monarch CPU stops its operation at DIE_INIT_MONARCH_LEAVE time if the kdump kernel image is not configured. On the other hand, kdump_init_notifier() on non-monarch CPUs get into spin because they don't know the fact the monarch stops its operation. This is the cause of this problem. To fix this problem, we need to check the kdump kernel image at the top of the kdump_init_notifier() function.

2007-05-14[IA64] kdump on INIT needs multi-nodes sync-up (v.2)Jay Lan
The current implementation of kdump on INIT events would enter kdump processing on DIE_INIT_MONARCH_ENTER and DIE_INIT_SLAVE_ENTER events. Thus, the monarch cpu would go ahead and boot up the kdump On SN shub2 systems, this out-of-sync situation causes some slave cpus on different nodes to enter POD. This patch moves kdump entry points to DIE_INIT_MONARCH_LEAVE and DIE_INIT_SLAVE_LEAVE. It also sets kdump_in_progress variable in the DIE_INIT_MONARCH_PROCESS event to not dump all active stack traces to the console in the case of kdump.

2007-05-08kdump/kexec: calculate note size at compile timeSimon Horman
Currently the size of the per-cpu region reserved to save crash notes is set by the per-architecture value MAX_NOTE_BYTES. Which in turn is currently set to 1024 on all supported architectures. While testing ia64 I recently discovered that this value is in fact too small. The particular setup I was using actually needs 1172 bytes. This lead to very tedious failure mode where the tail of one elf note would overwrite the head of another if they ended up being alocated sequentially by kmalloc, which was often the case. It seems to me that a far better approach is to caclculate the size that the area needs to be. This patch does just that. If a simpler stop-gap patch for ia64 to be squeezed into 2.6.21(.X) is needed then this should be as easy as making MAX_NOTE_BYTES larger in arch/asm-ia64/kexec.h. Perhaps 2048 would be a good choice. However, I think that the approach in this patch is a much more robust idea.

Note that the new code is compiled unconditionally, this should be understood as an appel to the other architecture maintainer to implement support for it aswell (aka sprinkling a notify_die or two in the proper place) arm had a notifiy_die that did something totally different, I renamed it to arm_notify_die as part of the patch and made it static to the file it's declared and used at. avr32 used to pass slightly less information through this interface and I brought it into line with the other architectures.

2007-02-14[PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctlEric W. Biederman
The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented. I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register duplicate sysctl entries. So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future enhancments harder. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
