sysrq: Fix warning in sysrq generated crash.

2018-03-01T03:09:35Z

[ Upstream commit 984cf355aeaa8f2eda3861b50d0e8d3e3f77e83b ] Commit 984d74a72076a1 ("sysrq: rcu-ify __handle_sysrq") replaced spin_lock_irqsave() calls with rcu_read_lock() calls in sysrq. Since rcu_read_lock() does not disable preemption, faulthandler_disabled() in __do_page_fault() in x86/fault.c returns false. When the code later calls might_sleep() in the pagefault handler, we get the following warning: BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at ../arch/x86/mm/fault.c:1187 in_atomic(): 0, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 4706, name: bash Preemption disabled at:[] printk+0x48/0x4a To fix this, we release the RCU read lock before we crash. Tested this patch on linux 3.18 by booting off one of our boards. Fixes: 984d74a72076a1 ("sysrq: rcu-ify __handle_sysrq") Signed-off-by: Ani Sinha Reviewed-by: Rik van Riel Signed-off-by: Paul E.

sysrq : fix Show Regs call trace on ARM

2018-01-17T17:55:18Z

[ Upstream commit b00bebbc301c8e1f74f230dc82282e56b7e7a6db ] When kernel configuration SMP,PREEMPT and DEBUG_PREEMPT are enabled, echo 1 >/proc/sys/kernel/sysrq echo p >/proc/sysrq-trigger kernel will print call trace as below: sysrq: SysRq : Show Regs BUG: using __this_cpu_read() in preemptible [00000000] code: sh/435 caller is __this_cpu_preempt_check+0x18/0x20 Call trace: [] dump_backtrace+0x0/0x1d0 [] show_stack+0x24/0x30 [] dump_stack+0x90/0xb0 [] check_preemption_disabled+0x100/0x108 [] __this_cpu_preempt_check+0x18/0x20 [] sysrq_handle_showregs+0x1c/0x40 [] __handle_sysrq+0x12c/0x1a0 [] write_sysrq_trigger+0x60/0x70 [] proc_reg_write+0x90/0xd0 [] __vfs_write+0x48/0x90 [] vfs_write+0xa4/0x190 [] SyS_write+0x54/0xb0 [] el0_svc_naked+0x24/0x28 This can be seen on a common board like an r-pi3. This happens because when echo p >/proc/sysrq-trigger, get_irq_regs() is called outside of IRQ context, if preemption is enabled in this situation,kernel will print the call trace. Since many prior discussions on the mailing lists have made it clear that get_irq_regs either just returns NULL or stale data when used outside of IRQ context,we simply avoid calling it outside of IRQ context.

sysrq: attach sysrq handler correctly for 32-bit kernel

2017-03-06T22:29:19Z

[ Upstream commit 802c03881f29844af0252b6e22be5d2f65f93fd0 ] The sysrq input handler should be attached to the input device which has a left alt key. On 32-bit kernels, some input devices which has a left alt key cannot attach sysrq handler. Because the keybit bitmap in struct input_device_id for sysrq is not correctly initialized. KEY_LEFTALT is 56 which is greater than BITS_PER_LONG on 32-bit kernels. I found this problem when using a matrix keypad device which defines a KEY_LEFTALT (56) but doesn't have a KEY_O (24 == 56%32).

tty: remove platform_sysrq_reset_seq

2015-08-03T16:29:15Z

commit ffb6e0c9a0572f8e5f8e9337a1b40ac2ec1493a1 upstream. The platform_sysrq_reset_seq code was intended as a way for an embedded platform to provide its own sysrq sequence at compile time. After over two years, nobody has started using it in an upstream kernel, and the platforms that were interested in it have moved on to devicetree, which can be used to configure the sequence without requiring kernel changes. The method is also incompatible with the way that most architectures build support for multiple platforms into a single kernel. Now the code is producing warnings when built with gcc-5.1: drivers/tty/sysrq.c: In function 'sysrq_init': drivers/tty/sysrq.c:959:33: warning: array subscript is above array bounds [-Warray-bounds] key = platform_sysrq_reset_seq[i]; We could fix this, but it seems unlikely that it will ever be used, so let's just remove the code instead. We still have the option to pass the sequence either in DT, using the kernel command line, or using the /sys/module/sysrq/parameters/reset_seq file.

workqueue: dump workqueues on sysrq-t

2015-03-09T13:22:28Z

Workqueues are used extensively throughout the kernel but sometimes it's difficult to debug stalls involving work items because visibility into its inner workings is fairly limited. Although sysrq-t task dump annotates each active worker task with the information on the work item being executed, it is challenging to find out which work items are pending or delayed on which queues and how pools are being managed. This patch implements show_workqueue_state() which dumps all busy workqueues and pools and is called from the sysrq-t handler. At the end of sysrq-t dump, something like the following is printed. Showing busy workqueues and worker pools: ... workqueue filler_wq: flags=0x0 pwq 2: cpus=1 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=2/256 in-flight: 491:filler_workfn, 507:filler_workfn pwq 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=2/256 in-flight: 501:filler_workfn pending: filler_workfn ... workqueue test_wq: flags=0x8 pwq 2: cpus=1 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=1/1 in-flight: 510(RESCUER):test_workfn BAR(69) BAR(500) delayed: test_workfn1 BAR(492), test_workfn2 ... pool 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 workers=2 manager: 137 pool 2: cpus=1 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 workers=3 manager: 469 pool 3: cpus=1 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=-20 workers=2 idle: 16 pool 8: cpus=0-3 flags=0x4 nice=0 workers=2 manager: 62 The above shows that test_wq is executing test_workfn() on pid 510 which is the rescuer and also that there are two tasks 69 and 500 waiting for the work item to finish in flush_work(). As test_wq has max_active of 1, there are two work items for test_workfn1() and test_workfn2() which are delayed till the current work item is finished. In addition, pid 492 is flushing test_workfn1(). The work item for test_workfn() is being executed on pwq of pool 2 which is the normal priority per-cpu pool for CPU 1. The pool has three workers, two of which are executing filler_workfn() for filler_wq and the last one is assuming the manager role trying to create more workers. This extra workqueue state dump will hopefully help chasing down hangs involving workqueues. v3: cpulist_pr_cont() replaced with "%*pbl" printf formatting. v2: As suggested by Andrew, minor formatting change in pr_cont_work(), printk()'s replaced with pr_info()'s, and cpumask printing now uses cpulist_pr_cont().

oom, PM: make OOM detection in the freezer path raceless

2015-02-12T01:06:03Z

Commit 5695be142e20 ("OOM, PM: OOM killed task shouldn't escape PM suspend") has left a race window when OOM killer manages to note_oom_kill after freeze_processes checks the counter. The race window is quite small and really unlikely and partial solution deemed sufficient at the time of submission. Tejun wasn't happy about this partial solution though and insisted on a full solution. That requires the full OOM and freezer's task freezing exclusion, though. This is done by this patch which introduces oom_sem RW lock and turns oom_killer_disable() into a full OOM barrier. oom_killer_disabled check is moved from the allocation path to the OOM level and we take oom_sem for reading for both the check and the whole OOM invocation. oom_killer_disable() takes oom_sem for writing so it waits for all currently running OOM killer invocations. Then it disable all the further OOMs by setting oom_killer_disabled and checks for any oom victims. Victims are counted via mark_tsk_oom_victim resp. unmark_oom_victim. The last victim wakes up all waiters enqueued by oom_killer_disable(). Therefore this function acts as the full OOM barrier. The page fault path is covered now as well although it was assumed to be safe before. As per Tejun, "We used to have freezing points deep in file system code which may be reacheable from page fault." so it would be better and more robust to not rely on freezing points here. Same applies to the memcg OOM killer. out_of_memory tells the caller whether the OOM was allowed to trigger and the callers are supposed to handle the situation. The page allocation path simply fails the allocation same as before. The page fault path will retry the fault (more on that later) and Sysrq OOM trigger will simply complain to the log. Normally there wouldn't be any unfrozen user tasks after try_to_freeze_tasks so the function will not block. But if there was an OOM killer racing with try_to_freeze_tasks and the OOM victim didn't finish yet then we have to wait for it. This should complete in a finite time, though, because - the victim cannot loop in the page fault handler (it would die on the way out from the exception) - it cannot loop in the page allocator because all the further allocation would fail and __GFP_NOFAIL allocations are not acceptable at this stage - it shouldn't be blocked on any locks held by frozen tasks (try_to_freeze expects lockless context) and kernel threads and work queues are not frozen yet Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko Suggested-by: Tejun Heo Cc: David Rientjes Cc: Johannes Weiner Cc: Oleg Nesterov Cc: Cong Wang Cc: "Rafael J.

mm, oom: ensure memoryless node zonelist always includes zones

2014-08-07T01:01:21Z

With memoryless node support being worked on, it's possible that for optimizations that a node may not have a non-NULL zonelist. When CONFIG_NUMA is enabled and node 0 is memoryless, this means the zonelist for first_online_node may become NULL. The oom killer requires a zonelist that includes all memory zones for the sysrq trigger and pagefault out of memory handler. Ensure that a non-NULL zonelist is always passed to the oom killer.

sysrq,rcu: suppress RCU stall warnings while sysrq runs

2014-06-06T23:08:17Z

sysrq: rcu-ify __handle_sysrq

2014-06-06T23:08:17Z

Echoing values into /proc/sysrq-trigger seems to be a popular way to get information out of the kernel. However, dumping information about thousands of processes, or hundreds of CPUs to serial console can result in IRQs being blocked for minutes, resulting in various kinds of cascade failures. The most common failure is due to interrupts being blocked for a very long time. This can lead to things like failed IO requests, and other things the system cannot easily recover from. This problem is easily fixable by making __handle_sysrq use RCU instead of spin_lock_irqsave. This leaves the warning that RCU grace periods have not elapsed for a long time, but the system will come back from that automatically. It also leaves sysrq-from-irq-context when the sysrq keys are pressed, but that is probably desired since people want that to work in situations where the system is already hosed. The callers of register_sysrq_key and unregister_sysrq_key appear to be capable of sleeping. Signed-off-by: Rik van Riel Reported-by: Madper Xie Cc: Randy Dunlap Cc: Richard Weinberger Cc: Paul E.
