Subject: [V6.1 PATCH 5/6] x86/nmi: Fix to save registers for crash dump on
external NMI broadcast
Now, multiple CPUs can receive external NMI simultaneously by
specifying "apic_extnmi=all" as an boot option. When we take a
crash dump by using external NMI with this option, we fail to save
register values into the crash dump. This happens as follows:
CPU 0 CPU 1
================================ =============================
receive an external NMI
default_do_nmi() receive an external NMI
spin_lock(&nmi_reason_lock) default_do_nmi()
io_check_error() spin_lock(&nmi_reason_lock)
panic() busy loop
...
kdump_nmi_shootdown_cpus()
issue NMI IPI -----------> blocked until IRET
busy loop...
Here, since CPU 1 is in NMI context, additional NMI from CPU 0
is blocked until CPU 1 executes IRET. However, CPU 1 never
executes IRET, so the NMI is not handled and the callback function
to save registers is never called.
To solve this issue, we check if the IPI for crash dumping was
issued while waiting for nmi_reason_lock to be released, and if so,
call its callback function directly. If the IPI is not issued (e.g.
kdump is disabled), the actual behavior doesn't change.
V6.1:
- Reintroduce the UP version of run_crash_ipi_callback to fix build
error for CONFIG_SMP=n and CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK=y case
V6:
- Separated from the former patch `panic/x86: Allow cpus to save
registers even if they are looping in NMI context'
- Fix comments
- Remove unneeded UP version of poll_crash_ipi_and_calback
- Rename poll_crash_ipi_and_callback to run_crash_ipi_callback
