[IA64] kdump: Mask INIT first in panic-kdump path 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.

[IA64] kdump: Mask MCA/INIT on frozen cpus 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.

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.

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.

[PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctl 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.
