[PATCH v1] powerpc/watchdog: help remote CPUs to flush NMI printk output

The printk layer at the moment does not seem to have a good way to force flush printk messages that are created in NMI context, except in the panic path. NMI-context printk messages normally get to the console with irq_work, but that won't help if the CPU is stuck with irqs disabled, as can be the

[PATCH v3 4/4] powerpc/watchdog: read TB close to where it is used

When taking watchdog actions, printing messages, comparing and re-setting wd_smp_last_reset_tb, etc., read TB close to the point of use and under wd_smp_lock or printing lock (if applicable). This should keep timebase mostly monotonic with kernel log messages, and could prevent (in theory) a laggy

[PATCH v3 3/4] powerpc/watchdog: Avoid holding wd_smp_lock over printk and smp_send_nmi_ipi

There is a deadlock with the console_owner lock and the wd_smp_lock: CPU x takes the console_owner lock CPU y takes a watchdog timer interrupt and takes __wd_smp_lock CPU x takes a soft-NMI interrupt, detects deadlock, spins on __wd_smp_lock CPU y detects deadlock, tries to print something and spi

[PATCH v3 2/4] powerpc/watchdog: tighten non-atomic read-modify-write access

Most updates to wd_smp_cpus_pending are under lock except the watchdog interrupt bit clear. This can race with non-atomic RMW updates to the mask under lock, which can happen in two instances: Firstly, if another CPU detects this one is stuck, removes it from the mask, mask becomes empty and is r

[PATCH v3 1/4] powerpc/watchdog: Fix missed watchdog reset due to memory ordering race

It is possible for all CPUs to miss the pending cpumask becoming clear, and then nobody resetting it, which will cause the lockup detector to stop working. It will eventually expire, but watchdog_smp_panic will avoid doing anything if the pending mask is clear and it will never be reset. Order the

[PATCH v7 5/5] powerpc/64s: Initialize and use a temporary mm for patching on Radix

From: "Christopher M. Riedl" When code patching a STRICT_KERNEL_RWX kernel the page containing the address to be patched is temporarily mapped as writeable. Currently, a per-cpu vmalloc patch area is used for this purpose. While the patch area is per-cpu, the temporary page mapping is inserted in

[PATCH v7 4/5] powerpc: Use WARN_ON and fix check in poking_init

From: "Christopher M. Riedl" The latest kernel docs list BUG_ON() as 'deprecated' and that they should be replaced with WARN_ON() (or pr_warn()) when possible. The BUG_ON() in poking_init() warrants a WARN_ON() rather than a pr_warn() since the error condition is deemed "unreachable". Also take

[PATCH v7 2/5] powerpc/64s: Introduce temporary mm for Radix MMU

From: "Christopher M. Riedl" x86 supports the notion of a temporary mm which restricts access to temporary PTEs to a single CPU. A temporary mm is useful for situations where a CPU needs to perform sensitive operations (such as patching a STRICT_KERNEL_RWX kernel) requiring temporary mappings wit

[PATCH v7 0/5] Use per-CPU temporary mappings for patching on Radix MMU

This is a revision of Chris' series to introduces a per cpu temporary mm to be used for patching with strict rwx on radix mmus. The previous version of the series is here: https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/20210911022904.30962-1-...@bluescreens.de/ v7: - introduce helper functions for clearing
