Subject: [PATCH v3] arm64: smp: smp_send_stop() and crash_smp_send_stop() should try non-NMI first
When testing hard lockup handling on my sc7180-trogdor-lazor device
with pseudo-NMI enabled, with serial console enabled and with kgdb
disabled, I found that the stack crawls printed to the serial console
ended up as a jumbled mess. After rebooting, the pstore-based console
looked fine though. Also, enabling kgdb to trap the panic made the
console look fine and avoided the mess.
After a bit of tracking down, I came to the conclusion that this was
what was happening:
1. The panic path was stopping all other CPUs with
panic_other_cpus_shutdown().
2. At least one of those other CPUs was in the middle of printing to
the serial console and holding the console port's lock, which is
grabbed with "irqsave". ...but since we were stopping with an NMI
we didn't care about the "irqsave" and interrupted anyway.
3. Since we stopped the CPU while it was holding the lock it would
never release it.
4. All future calls to output to the console would end up failing to
get the lock in qcom_geni_serial_console_write(). This isn't
_totally_ unexpected at panic time but it's a code path that's not
well tested, hard to get right, and apparently doesn't work
terribly well on the Qualcomm geni serial driver.
The Qualcomm geni serial driver was fixed to be a bit better in commit
9e957a155005 ("serial: qcom-geni: Don't cancel/abort if we can't get
the port lock") but it's nice not to get into this situation in the
first place.
Taking a page from what x86 appears to do in native_stop_other_cpus(),
do this:
1. First, try to stop other CPUs with a normal IPI and wait a second.
This gives them a chance to leave critical sections.
2. If CPUs fail to stop then retry with an NMI, but give a much lower
timeout since there's no good reason for a CPU not to react quickly
to a NMI.
This works well and avoids the corrupted console and (presumably)
could help avoid other similar issues.
In order to do this, we need to do a little re-organization of our
IPIs since we don't have any more free IDs. Do what was suggested in
previous conversations and combine "stop" and "crash stop". That frees
up an IPI so now we can have a "stop" and "stop NMI".
In order to do this we also need a slight change in the way we keep
track of which CPUs still need to be stopped. We need to know
specifically which CPUs haven't stopped yet when we fall back to NMI
but in the "crash stop" case the "cpu_online_mask" isn't updated as
CPUs go down. This is why that code path had an atomic of the number
of CPUs left. Solve this by also updating the "cpu_online_mask" for
crash stops.
All of the above lets us combine the logic for "stop" and "crash stop"
code, which appeared to have a bunch of arbitrary implementation
differences.
Aside from the above change where we try a normal IPI and then an NMI,
the combined function has a few subtle differences:
* In the normal smp_send_stop(), if we fail to stop one or more CPUs
then we won't include the current CPU (the one running
smp_send_stop()) in the error message.
* In crash_smp_send_stop(), if we fail to stop some CPUs we'll print
the CPUs that we failed to stop instead of printing all _but_ the
current running CPU.
* In crash_smp_send_stop(), we will now only print "SMP: stopping
secondary CPUs" if (system_state <= SYSTEM_RUNNING).

I'm not setup to test the crash_smp_send_stop(). I made sure it
compiled and hacked the panic() method to call it, but I haven't
actually run kexec. Hopefully others can confirm that it's working for
them.
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231207170251.1.Id4817adef610302554b8aa42b090d57270dc119c@changeid
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240625160718.v2.1.Id4817adef610302554b8aa42b090d57270dc119c@changeid
Changes in v3:
- Add a comment summarizing the v2 discussion.
- Re-snapshot cpu_online_mask when CPUs still online.
Changes in v2:
- Update commit message to point to Qualcomm serial driver fix.
- Use a test-and-set to prevent stop code from running twice.
- Move mask clearing until after crash_save_cpu().
- Use local_daif_mask() in ipi_cpu_crash_stop().
- Don't use a new mask, just have crash case update online CPUs.
