as you mentioned CONFIG_FAST_NO_HZ, do you mean CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ? I double checked there is no FAST_NO_HZ in .config:
Here is the grep from .config:

This is quite helpful, thank you!
The "RCU lockdep checking is enabled" says that CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y, which is good. The "RCU_GP_WAIT_GPS(1)" means that the rcu_preempt task is waiting for a new grace-period request. The "->state: 0x402" means that it is sleeping, neither running nor in the process of waking up.
The "delta ->gp_activity 308257 ->gp_req_activity 308256 ->gp_wake_time 308258" means that it has been more than 300,000 jiffies since the rcu_preempt task did anything or was requested to do anything.
The "->gp_wake_seq 21808189 ->gp_seq 21808192" says that the last attempt to awaken the rcu_preempt task happened during the last grace period.
The "->gp_seq_needed 21808196 ->gp_flags 0x1" nevertheless says that someone requested a new grace period. So if the rcu_preempt task were to wake up, it would process the new grace period. Note again also the ->gp_req_activity 308256, which indicates that ->gp_flags was set more than 300,000 jiffies ago, just after the last recorded activity of the rcu_preempt task.
But this is exactly the situation that rcu_check_gp_start_stall() is designed to warn about (and does warn about for me when I comment out the wakeup code). So why is rcu_check_gp_start_stall() not being called? Here are a couple of possibilities:
1. Because rcu_check_gp_start_stall() is only ever invoked from
RCU_SOFTIRQ, it is possible that softirqs are stalled for
whatever reason.
2. Because RCU_SOFTIRQ is invoked primarily from the scheduler-clock
interrupt handler, it is possible that the scheduler tick has
somehow been disabled. Traces from earlier runs showed a great
deal of RCU callbacks queued, which would have caused RCU to
refuse to allow the scheduler tick to be disabled, even if the
corresponding CPU was idle.
3. You have CONFIG_FAST_NO_HZ=y (which you probably do, given
that you are building for a battery-powered device) and all of the
CPU's callbacks are lazy. Except that your earlier traces showed
lots of non-lazy callbacks. Besides, even if all callbacks were
lazy, there would still be a scheduling-clock interrupt every
six seconds, and there are quite a few six-second intervals
in a two-minute watchdog timeout.
But if we cannot find the problem quickly, I will likely ask
you to try reproducing with CONFIG_FAST_NO_HZ=n. This could
be thought of as bisecting the RCU code looking for the bug.
The first two of these seem unlikely given that the watchdog timer was still firing. Still, I don't see how 300,000 jiffies elapsed with a grace period requested and not started otherwise. Could you please check?
One way to do so would be to enable ftrace on rcu_check_callbacks(), __rcu_process_callbacks(), and rcu_check_gp_start_stall(). It might be necessary to no-inline rcu_check_gp_start_stall(). You might have better ways to collect this information.
Without this information, the only workaround patch I can give you will degrade battery lifetime, which might not be what you want.
You do have a lockdep complaint early at boot. Although I don't immediately see how this self-deadlock would affect RCU, please do get it fixed. Sometimes the consequences of this sort of deadlock can propagate to unexepected places.
Regardless of why rcu_check_gp_start_stall() failed to complain, it looks like this was set after the rcu_preempt task slept for the last time, and so there should have been a wakeup the last time that ->gp_flags was set. Perhaps there is some code path that drops the wakeup.
I did check this in current -rcu, but you are instead running v4.19, so I should also check there.
The ->gp_flags has its RCU_GP_FLAG_INIT bit set in rcu_start_this_gp() and in rcu_gp_cleanup(). We can eliminate rcu_gp_cleanup() from consideration because only the rcu_preempt task will execute that code, and we know that this task was asleep at the last time this bit was set.
Now rcu_start_this_gp() returns a flag indicating whether or not a wakeup is needed, and the caller must do the wakeup once it is safe to do so, that is, after the various rcu_node locks have been released (doing a wakeup while holding any of those locks results in deadlock).
The following functions invoke rcu_start_this_gp: rcu_accelerate_cbs() and rcu_nocb_wait_gp(). We can eliminate rcu_nocb_wait_gp() because you are building with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=n. Then rcu_accelerate_cbs() is invoked from:
o rcu_accelerate_cbs_unlocked(), which does the following, thus
properly awakening the rcu_preempt task when needed:
needwake = rcu_accelerate_cbs(rsp, rnp, rdp);
raw_spin_unlock_rcu_node(rnp); /* irqs remain disabled. */
if (needwake)
rcu_gp_kthread_wake(rsp);
o rcu_advance_cbs(), which returns the value returned by
rcu_accelerate_cbs(), thus pushing the problem off to its
callers, which are called out below.
o __note_gp_changes(), which also returns the value returned by
rcu_accelerate_cbs(), thus pushing the problem off to its callers,
which are called out below.
o rcu_gp_cleanup(), which is only ever invoked by RCU grace-period
kthreads such as the rcu_preempt task. Therefore, this function
never needs to awaken the rcu_preempt task, because the fact
that this function is executing means that this task is already
awake. (Also, as noted above, we can eliminate this code from
consideration because this task is known to have been sleeping
at the last time that the RCU_GP_FLAG_INIT bit was set.)
o rcu_report_qs_rdp(), which does the following, thus properly
awakening the rcu_preempt task when needed:
needwake = rcu_accelerate_cbs(rsp, rnp, rdp);
rcu_report_qs_rnp(mask, rsp, rnp, rnp->gp_seq, flags);
/* ^^^ Released rnp->lock */
if (needwake)
rcu_gp_kthread_wake(rsp);
o rcu_prepare_for_idle(), which does the following, thus properly
awakening the rcu_preempt task when needed:
needwake = rcu_accelerate_cbs(rsp, rnp, rdp);
raw_spin_unlock_rcu_node(rnp); /* irqs remain disabled. */
if (needwake)
rcu_gp_kthread_wake(rsp);
Now for rcu_advance_cbs():
o __note_gp_changes(), which which also returns the value returned
by rcu_advance_cbs(), thus pushing the problem off to its callers,
which are called out below.
o rcu_migrate_callbacks(), which does the following, thus properly
awakening the rcu_preempt task when needed:
needwake = rcu_advance_cbs(rsp, rnp_root, rdp) ||
rcu_advance_cbs(rsp, rnp_root, my_rdp);
rcu_segcblist_merge(&my_rdp->cblist, &rdp->cblist);
WARN_ON_ONCE(rcu_segcblist_empty(&my_rdp->cblist) !=
!rcu_segcblist_n_cbs(&my_rdp->cblist));
raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore_rcu_node(rnp_root, flags);
if (needwake)
rcu_gp_kthread_wake(rsp);
Now for __note_gp_changes():
o note_gp_changes(), which does the following, thus properly
awakening the rcu_preempt task when needed:
needwake = __note_gp_changes(rsp, rnp, rdp);
raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore_rcu_node(rnp, flags);
if (needwake)
rcu_gp_kthread_wake(rsp);
o rcu_gp_init() which is only ever invoked by RCU grace-period
kthreads such as the rcu_preempt task, which makes wakeups
unnecessary, just as for rcu_gp_cleanup() above.
o rcu_gp_cleanup(), ditto.
So I am not seeing how I am losing a wakeup, but please do feel free to double-check my analysis. One way to do that is using event tracing.
Thanx, Paul
