Subject: [PATCHv4 1/3] watchdog/softlockup: low-overhead detection of interrupt
The following softlockup is caused by interrupt storm, but it cannot be
identified from the call tree. Because the call tree is just a snapshot
and doesn't fully capture the behavior of the CPU during the soft lockup.
watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#28 stuck for 23s! [fio:83921]
...
Call trace:
__do_softirq+0xa0/0x37c
__irq_exit_rcu+0x108/0x140
irq_exit+0x14/0x20
__handle_domain_irq+0x84/0xe0
gic_handle_irq+0x80/0x108
el0_irq_naked+0x50/0x58
Therefore，I think it is necessary to report CPU utilization during the
softlockup_thresh period (report once every sample_period, for a total
of 5 reportings), like this:
watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#28 stuck for 23s! [fio:83921]
CPU#28 Utilization every 4s during lockup:
#1: 0% system, 0% softirq, 100% hardirq, 0% idle
#2: 0% system, 0% softirq, 100% hardirq, 0% idle
#3: 0% system, 0% softirq, 100% hardirq, 0% idle
#4: 0% system, 0% softirq, 100% hardirq, 0% idle
#5: 0% system, 0% softirq, 100% hardirq, 0% idle
...
This would be helpful in determining whether an interrupt storm has
occurred or in identifying the cause of the softlockup. The criteria for
determination are as follows:
a. If the hardirq utilization is high, then interrupt storm should be
considered and the root cause cannot be determined from the call tree.
b. If the softirq utilization is high, then we could analyze the call
tree but it may cannot reflect the root cause.
c. If the system utilization is high, then we could analyze the root
cause from the call tree.
