Of course, if there is a change, both sets of values will be printed.

This information can help debugging interactions with migration and CPU hotplug. However, experience indicates that sampling the CPU number in rcutorture's read-side code can reduce the probability of too-short bugs by a small integer factor. And small integer factors are crucial to RCU bug hunting, so this commit also introduces a default-off RCU_TORTURE_TEST_LOG_CPU Kconfig option to enable this CPU-number-logging functionality at build time.

rcu: Restrict access to RCU CPU stall notifiers 2023-12-11T21:01:22+00:00 Paul E.

These bugs can be detected by the RCU CPU stall-warning mechanism, but in some cases, the stall-warnings printk()s disrupt the forward-progress bug before any useful state can be obtained. Unfortunately, the notifier mechanism added by commit 5b404fdabacf ("rcu: Add RCU CPU stall notifier") can make matters worse if used at all carelessly. For example, if the stall warning was caused by a lock not being released, then any attempt to acquire that lock in the notifier will hang. This will prevent not only the notifier from producing any useful output, but it will also prevent the stall-warning message from ever appearing. This commit therefore hides this new RCU CPU stall notifier mechanism under a new RCU_CPU_STALL_NOTIFIER Kconfig option that depends on both DEBUG_KERNEL and RCU_EXPERT. In addition, the rcupdate.rcu_cpu_stall_notifiers=1 kernel boot parameter must also be specified. The RCU_CPU_STALL_NOTIFIER Kconfig option's help text contains a warning and explains the dangers of careless use, recommending lockless notifier code. In addition, a WARN() is triggered each time that an attempt is made to register a stall-warning notifier in kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_NOTIFIER=y. This combination of measures will keep use of this mechanism confined to debug kernels and away from routine deployments.

rcu: Add RCU stall diagnosis information 2023-01-05T20:21:11+00:00 Zhen Lei thunder.leizhen@huawei.com 2022-11-19T09:25:06+00:00 be42f00b73a0f50710d16eb7cb4efda0cce062dd Because RCU CPU stall warnings are driven from the scheduling-clock interrupt handler, a workload consisting of a very large number of short-duration hardware interrupts can result in misleading stall-warning messages. On systems supporting only a single level of interrupts, that is, where interrupts handlers cannot be interrupted, this can produce misleading diagnostics. The stack traces will show the innocent-bystander interrupted task, not the interrupts that are at the very least exacerbating the stall. This situation can be improved by displaying the number of interrupts and the CPU time that they have consumed. Diagnosing other types of stalls can be eased by also providing the count of softirqs and the CPU time that they consumed as well as the number of context switches and the task-level CPU time consumed. Consider the following output given this change: rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt self-detected stall on CPU rcu: 0-....: (1250 ticks this GP) <omitted> rcu: hardirqs softirqs csw/system rcu: number: 624 45 0 rcu: cputime: 69 1 2425 ==> 2500(ms) This output shows that the number of hard and soft interrupts is small, there are no context switches, and the system takes up a lot of time. This indicates that the current task is looping with preemption disabled. The impact on system performance is negligible because snapshot is recorded only once for all continuous RCU stalls. This added debugging information is suppressed by default and can be enabled by building the kernel with CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_CPUTIME=y or by booting with rcupdate.rcu_cpu_stall_cputime=1.
