Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 00/12] Unify SMP stop generic logic to common code
Hi all,
the logic underlying SMP stop and kexec crash procedures, beside containing
some arch-specific bits, is mostly generic and common across all archs:
despite this fact, such logic is now scattered across all architectures and
on some of them is flawed, in such a way that, under some specific
conditions, you can end up with a CPU left still running after a panic and
possibly lost across a subsequent kexec crash reboot. [1]
Beside the flaws on some archs, there is anyway lots of code duplication,
so this patch series attempts to move into common code all the generic SMP
stop and crash logic, fixing observed issues, and leaving only the arch
specific bits inside properly provided arch-specific helpers.
An architecture willing to rely on this SMP common logic has to define its
own helpers and set CONFIG_ARCH_USE_COMMON_SMP_STOP=y.
This series wire this up for arm64, x86, arm, sparc64.
Behaviour is not changed for architectures not adopting this new common
logic.
In v2 the SMP common stop/crash code is generalized a bit more to address
the needs of the newly ported architectures (x86, arm, sparc64).
Tested as follows:
- arm64:
1. boot/reboot/emergency reboot
2. panic on a starting CPU within a 2 CPUs system (freezing properly)
3. kexec reboot after a panic like 2. (not losing any CPU on reboot)
4. kexec reboot after a panic like 2. and a simultaneous reboot
(instrumenting code to delay the stop messages transmission
to have time to inject a reboot -f)
- x86:
1. boot/reboot/emergency reboot/emergency reboot with VMX enabled
2. panic on a starting CPU within a 2 CPUs system
2. panic sysrq 4-CPus
3. kexec reboot after a panic
- arm:
1. boot
- sparc64:
1. build
A couple more of still to be done potential enhancements have been noted
on specific commits, and a lot more of testing remains surely to be done
as of now, but, in the context of this RFC, any thoughts on this approach
in general ?
Thanks,
Cristian
Changes:
--------
v1-->v2:
- rebased on v5.3-rc8
- moved common Kconfig bits to arch/Kconfig
- extended SMP common stop/crash generic code to address new architectures
needs: custom wait/timeouts, max_retries, attempt numbers.
- ported x86 to SMP common stop/crash code
- ported arm to SMP common stop/crash code
- ported sparc64 to SMP common stop code
