When task-hung happens, developers may need different kinds of system
information (call-stacks, memory info, locks, etc.) to help debugging.
Add 'hung_task_sys_info' sysctl knob to take human readable string like
"tasks,mem,timers,locks,ftrace,...", and when task-hung happens, all
requested information will be dumped. (refer kernel/sys_info.c for more
details).
Meanwhile, the newly introduced sys_info() call is used to unify some
existing info-dumping knobs.

The hung_task_panic sysctl is currently a blunt instrument: it's all or
nothing.
Panicking on a single hung task can be an overreaction to a transient
glitch. A more reliable indicator of a systemic problem is when
multiple tasks hang simultaneously.
Extend hung_task_panic to accept an integer threshold, allowing the
kernel to panic only when N hung tasks are detected in a single scan.
This provides finer control to distinguish between isolated incidents
and system-wide failures.
The accepted values are:
- 0: Don't panic (unchanged)
- 1: Panic on the first hung task (unchanged)
- N > 1: Panic after N hung tasks are detected in a single scan
The original behavior is preserved for values 0 and 1, maintaining full
backward compatibility.

Dump the lock blocker task if it is not hung because if the blocker task
is also hung, it should be dumped by the detector. This will de-duplicate
the same stackdumps if the blocker task is also blocked by another task
(and hung).

Inspired by mutex blocker tracking[1], and having already extended it to
semaphores, let's now add support for reader-writer semaphores (rwsems).
The approach is simple: when a task enters TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE while
waiting for an rwsem, we just call hung_task_set_blocker(). The hung task
detector can then query the rwsem's owner to identify the lock holder.
Tracking works reliably for writers, as there can only be a single writer
holding the lock, and its task struct is stored in the owner field.
The main challenge lies with readers. The owner field points to only one
of many concurrent readers, so we might lose track of the blocker if that
specific reader unlocks, even while others remain. This is not a
significant issue, however. In practice, long-lasting lock contention is
almost always caused by a writer. Therefore, reliably tracking the writer
is the primary goal of this patch series ;)
With this change, the hung task detector can now show blocker task's info

Inspired by mutex blocker tracking[1], this patch makes a trade-off to
balance the overhead and utility of the hung task detector.
Unlike mutexes, semaphores lack explicit ownership tracking, making it
challenging to identify the root cause of hangs. To address this, we
introduce a last_holder field to the semaphore structure, which is updated
when a task successfully calls down() and cleared during up().
The assumption is that if a task is blocked on a semaphore, the holders
must not have released it. While this does not guarantee that the last
holder is one of the current blockers, it likely provides a practical hint
for diagnosing semaphore-related stalls.
With this change, the hung task detector can now show blocker task's info
like below:

Patch series "hung_task: extend blocking task stacktrace dump to
semaphore", v5.
Inspired by mutex blocker tracking[1], this patch series extend the
feature to not only dump the blocker task holding a mutex but also to
support semaphores. Unlike mutexes, semaphores lack explicit ownership
tracking, making it challenging to identify the root cause of hangs. To
address this, we introduce a last_holder field to the semaphore structure,
which is updated when a task successfully calls down() and cleared during
up().
The assumption is that if a task is blocked on a semaphore, the holders
must not have released it. While this does not guarantee that the last
holder is one of the current blockers, it likely provides a practical hint
for diagnosing semaphore-related stalls.
With this change, the hung task detector can now show blocker task's info
like below:

This patch (of 3):
This patch replaces 'struct mutex *blocker_mutex' with 'unsigned long
blocker', as only one blocker is active at a time.
The blocker filed can store both the lock addrees and the lock type, with
LSB used to encode the type as Masami suggested, making it easier to
extend the feature to cover other types of locks.
Also, once the lock type is determined, we can directly extract the
address and cast it to a lock pointer ;)

Patch series "hung_task: Dump the blocking task stacktrace", v4.
The hung_task detector is very useful for detecting the lockup. However,
since it only dumps the blocked (uninterruptible sleep) processes, it is
not enough to identify the root cause of that lockup.
For example, if a process holds a mutex and sleep an event in
interruptible state long time, the other processes will wait on the mutex
in uninterruptible state. In this case, the waiter processes are dumped,
but the blocker process is not shown because it is sleep in interruptible
state.
This adds a feature to dump the blocker task which holds a mutex
when detecting a hung task. e.g.
INFO: task cat:115 blocked for more than 122 seconds.

TBD: We can extend this feature to cover other locks like rwsem and
rt_mutex, but rwsem requires to dump all the tasks which acquire and wait
that rwsem. We can follow the waiter link but the output will be a bit
different compared with mutex case.
This patch (of 2):
The "hung_task" shows a long-time uninterruptible slept task, but most
often, it's blocked on a mutex acquired by another task. Without dumping
such a task, investigating the root cause of the hung task problem is very
difficult.
This introduce task_struct::blocker_mutex to point the mutex lock which
this task is waiting for. Since the mutex has "owner" information, we can
find the owner task and dump it with hung tasks.
Note: the owner can be changed while dumping the owner task, so
this is "likely" the owner of the mutex.
With this change, the hung task shows blocker task's info like below;
INFO: task cat:115 blocked for more than 122 seconds.

Add the const qualifier to all the ctl_tables in the tree except for
watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls,
loadpin_sysctl_table and the ones calling register_net_sysctl (./net,
drivers/inifiniband dirs). These are special cases as they use a
registration function with a non-const qualified ctl_table argument or
modify the arrays before passing them on to the registration function.
Constifying ctl_table structs will prevent the modification of
proc_handler function pointers as the arrays would reside in .rodata.
This is made possible after commit 78eb4ea25cd5 ("sysctl: treewide:
constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlers") constified all the
proc_handlers.
Created this by running an spatch followed by a sed command:

Resending this patch as I haven't received feedback on my initial
submission https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241204182953.10854-1-oxana@cloudflare.com/
For the processes which are terminated abnormally the kernel can provide
a coredump if enabled. When the coredump is performed, the process and
all its threads are put into the D state
(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE | TASK_FREEZABLE).
On the other hand, we have kernel thread khungtaskd which monitors the
processes in the D state. If the task stuck in the D state more than
kernel.hung_task_timeout_secs, the hung_task alert appears in the kernel
log.
The higher memory usage of a process, the longer it takes to create
coredump, the longer tasks are in the D state. We have hung_task alerts
for the processes with memory usage above 10Gb. Although, our
kernel.hung_task_timeout_secs is 10 sec when the default is 120 sec.
Adding additional information to the log that the task is blocked by
coredump will help with monitoring. Another approach might be to
completely filter out alerts for such tasks, but in that case we would
lose transparency about what is putting pressure on some system
resources, e.g. we saw an increase in I/O when coredump occurs due its
writing to disk.
Additionally, it would be helpful to have task_struct->flags in the log
from the function sched_show_task(). Currently it prints
task_struct->thread_info->flags, this seems misleading as the line
starts with "task:xxxx".

Patch series "add detect count for hung tasks", v2.
This patchset adds a counter, hung_task_detect_count, to track the number
of times hung tasks are detected.
IHMO, hung tasks are a critical metric. Currently, we detect them by
periodically parsing dmesg. However, this method isn't as user-friendly
as using a counter.
Sometimes, a short-lived issue with NIC or hard drive can quickly decrease
the hung_task_warnings to zero. Without warnings, we must directly access
the node to ensure that there are no more hung tasks and that the system
has recovered. After all, load average alone cannot provide a clear
picture.
Once this counter is in place, in a high-density deployment pattern, we
plan to set hung_task_timeout_secs to a lower number to improve stability,
even though this might result in false positives. And then we can set a
time-based threshold: if hung tasks last beyond this duration, we will
automatically migrate containers to other nodes. Based on past
experience, this approach could help avoid many production disruptions.
Moreover, just like other important events such as OOM that already have
counters, having a dedicated counter for hung tasks makes sense ;)

If hung_task_panic is enabled, don't consider the value of
hung_task_warnings and display the information of the hung tasks.
In some cases, hung_task_panic might not be initially set up, after
several hung tasks occur, the hung_task_warnings count reaches zero. If
hung_task_panic is set up later, it may not display any helpful hung task
info in dmesg, only showing messages like:
Kernel panic - not syncing: hung_task: blocked tasks

This commit comes at the tail end of a greater effort to remove the
empty elements at the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) which
will reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time
memory bloat by ~64 bytes per sentinel (further information Link :
https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZO5Yx5JFogGi%2FcBo@bombadil.infradead.org/)
Remove the sentinel from ctl_table arrays. Reduce by one the values used
to compare the size of the adjusted arrays.

needed for thread_with_file; also rare but not unheard of to need this

one workaround used by some code is wait_event_interruptible() - but
that can be buggy if the outer context isn't expecting unwinding.

that we can know if kernel log was lost or there is no hung task was

Boris reported hung_task splats after commit 5aec788aeb8e ("sched: Fix
TASK_state comparisons"). Upon closer consideration of that change it
doesn't only exclude TASK_KILLABLE, but also TASK_IDLE.
Update the comment to reflect this fact and add an additional
TASK_NOLOAD test to exclude them.
Additionally, remove the TASK_FREEZABLE early exit from
check_hung_task(), a freezable task is not a frozen task.

Task state is fundamentally a bitmask; direct comparisons are probably
not working as intended. Specifically the normal wait-state have
a number of possible modifiers:
TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE: TASK_WAKEKILL, TASK_NOLOAD, TASK_FREEZABLE
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE: TASK_FREEZABLE
Specifically, the addition of TASK_FREEZABLE wrecked
__wait_is_interruptible(). This however led to an audit of direct
comparisons yielding the rest of the changes.

Rewrite the core freezer to behave better wrt thawing and be simpler
in general.
By replacing PF_FROZEN with TASK_FROZEN, a special block state, it is
ensured frozen tasks stay frozen until thawed and don't randomly wake
up early, as is currently possible.
As such, it does away with PF_FROZEN and PF_FREEZER_SKIP, freeing up
two PF_flags (yay!).
Specifically; the current scheme works a little like:
freezer_do_not_count();
schedule();
freezer_count();
And either the task is blocked, or it lands in try_to_freezer()
through freezer_count(). Now, when it is blocked, the freezer
considers it frozen and continues.
However, on thawing, once pm_freezing is cleared, freezer_count()
stops working, and any random/spurious wakeup will let a task run
before its time.
That is, thawing tries to thaw things in explicit order; kernel
threads and workqueues before doing bringing SMP back before userspace
etc.. However due to the above mentioned races it is entirely possible
for userspace tasks to thaw (by accident) before SMP is back.
This can be a fatal problem in asymmetric ISA architectures (eg ARMv9)
where the userspace task requires a special CPU to run.
As said; replace this with a special task state TASK_FROZEN and add
the following state transitions:
TASK_FREEZABLE -> TASK_FROZEN
__TASK_STOPPED -> TASK_FROZEN
__TASK_TRACED -> TASK_FROZEN
The new TASK_FREEZABLE can be set on any state part of TASK_NORMAL
(IOW. TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE) -- any such state
is already required to deal with spurious wakeups and the freezer
causes one such when thawing the task (since the original state is
lost).
The special __TASK_{STOPPED,TRACED} states *can* be restored since
their canonical state is in ->jobctl.
With this, frozen tasks need an explicit TASK_FROZEN wakeup and are
free of undue (early / spurious) wakeups.

This reverts commit 2bb2b7b57f81255c13f4395ea911d6bdc70c9fe2.
The testing of 5.19 release candidates revealed missing synchronization
between early and regular console functionality.
It would be possible to start the console kthreads later as a workaround.
But it is clear that console lock serialized console drivers between
each other. It opens a big area of possible problems that were not
considered by people involved in the development and review.
printk() is crucial for debugging kernel issues and console output is
very important part of it. The number of consoles is huge and a proper
review would take some time. As a result it need to be reverted for 5.19.
