Ben Hutchings 551423748a watchdog: Improve initialisation error message and documentation
The error message 'NMI watchdog failed to create perf event...'
does not make it clear that this is a fatal error for the
watchdog.  It also currently prints the error value as a
pointer, rather than extracting the error code with PTR_ERR().
Fix that.

Add a note to the description of the 'nowatchdog' kernel
parameter to associate it with this message.

Christoph Lameter 909ea96468 core: Replace __get_cpu_var with __this_cpu_read if not used for an address.
__get_cpu_var() can be replaced with this_cpu_read and will then use a
single read instruction with implied address calculation to access the
correct per cpu instance.

However, the address of a per cpu variable passed to __this_cpu_read()
cannot be determined (since it's an implied address conversion through
segment prefixes).  Therefore apply this only to uses of __get_cpu_var
where the address of the variable is not used.

Don Zickus 5dc3055879 x86, NMI: Add back unknown_nmi_panic and nmi_watchdog sysctls
Originally adapted from Huang Ying's patch which moved the
unknown_nmi_panic to the traps.c file.  Because the old nmi
watchdog was deleted before this change happened, the
unknown_nmi_panic sysctl was lost.  This re-adds it.

Also, the nmi_watchdog sysctl was re-implemented and its
documentation updated accordingly.

Peter Zijlstra 004417a6d4 perf, arch: Cleanup perf-pmu init vs lockup-detector
The perf hardware pmu got initialized at various points in the boot,
some before early_initcall() some after (notably arch_initcall).

The problem is that the NMI lockup detector is ran from early_initcall()
and expects the hardware pmu to be present.

Sanitize this by moving all architecture hardware pmu implementations to
initialize at early_initcall() and move the lockup detector to an explicit
initcall right after that.

Matt Helsley 38a81da220 perf events: Clean up pid passing
The kernel perf event creation path shouldn't use find_task_by_vpid()
because a vpid exists in a specific namespace. find_task_by_vpid() uses
current's pid namespace which isn't always the correct namespace to use
for the vpid in all the places perf_event_create_kernel_counter() (and
thus find_get_context()) is called.

The goal is to clean up pid namespace handling and prevent bugs like:

	https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17281

Instead of using pids switch find_get_context() to use task struct
pointers directly. The syscall is responsible for resolving the pid to
a task struct. This moves the pid namespace resolution into the syscall
much like every other syscall that takes pid parameters.

Stephane Eranian d9ca07a05c watchdog: Avoid kernel crash when disabling watchdog
In case you boot with the watchdog disabled, i.e., nowatchdog, then,
if you try to disable it via /proc/sys/kernel/watchdog, you get
a kernel crash. The reason is that you are trying to cancel a hrtimer
which has never been initialized.

This patch fixes this by skipping execution of
watchdog_disable_all_cpus() when the watchdog is marked
disabled from boot.

Don Zickus 68d3f1d810 lockup_detector: Sync touch_*_watchdog back to old semantics
During my rewrite, the semantics of touch_nmi_watchdog and
touch_softlockup_watchdog changed enough to break some drivers
(mostly over preemptable regions).

These are cases where long delays on one CPU (due to
print_delay for example) can cause long delays on other
CPUs - so we must 'touch' the nmi_watchdog flag of those
other CPUs as well.

This change brings those touch_*_watchdog() functions back in line
with to how they used to work.

("cpu-hotplug: return better errno on cpu hotplug failure"),

Peter Zijlstra c6db67cda7 watchdog: Don't throttle the watchdog
Stephane reported that when the machine locks up, the regular ticks,
which are responsible to resetting the throttle count, stop too.

Hence the NMI watchdog can end up being throttled before it reports on
the locked up state, and we end up being sad..

Cure this by having the watchdog overflow reset its own throttle count.

Don Zickus cafcd80d21 lockup_detector: Cross arch compile fixes
Combining the softlockup and hardlockup code causes watchdog.c
to build even without the hardlockup detection support.

So if an arch, that has the previous and the new nmi watchdog
implementations cohabiting, wants to know if the generic one
is in use, CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR is not a reliable check.
We need to use CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR instead.

Fixes:
	kernel/built-in.o: In function `touch_nmi_watchdog':
	(.text+0x449bc): multiple definition of `touch_nmi_watchdog'
	arch/sparc/kernel/built-in.o:(.text+0x11b28): first defined here

Frederic Weisbecker 23637d477c lockup_detector: Introduce CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR
This new config is deemed to simplify even more the lockup detector
dependencies and can make it easier to bring a smooth sorting
between archs that support the new generic lockup detector and those
that still have their own, especially for those that are in the
middle of this migration.

Instead of checking whether we have CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR +
CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS_NMI each time an arch wants to know if it needs
to build its own lockup detector, take a shortcut with this new
config. It is enabled only if the hardlockup detection part of
the whole lockup detector is on.

When I combined the nmi_watchdog (hardlockup) and softlockup code, I
also combined the paths the touch_watchdog and touch_nmi_watchdog took.
This may not be the best idea as pointed out by Frederic W., that the
touch_watchdog case probably should not reset the hardlockup count.

Therefore the patch below falls back to the previous idea of keeping
the touch_nmi_watchdog a superset of the touch_watchdog case.

Don Zickus 58687acba5 lockup_detector: Combine nmi_watchdog and softlockup detector
The new nmi_watchdog (which uses the perf event subsystem) is very
similar in structure to the softlockup detector.  Using Ingo's
suggestion, I combined the two functionalities into one file:
kernel/watchdog.c.

Now both the nmi_watchdog (or hardlockup detector) and softlockup
detector sit on top of the perf event subsystem, which is run every
60 seconds or so to see if there are any lockups.

To detect hardlockups, cpus not responding to interrupts, I
implemented an hrtimer that runs 5 times for every perf event
overflow event.  If that stops counting on a cpu, then the cpu is
most likely in trouble.

To detect softlockups, tasks not yielding to the scheduler, I used the
previous kthread idea that now gets kicked every time the hrtimer fires.
If the kthread isn't being scheduled neither is anyone else and the
warning is printed to the console.

I tested this on x86_64 and both the softlockup and hardlockup paths
work.

V2:
- cleaned up the Kconfig and softlockup combination
- surrounded hardlockup cases with #ifdef CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS_NMI
- seperated out the softlockup case from perf event subsystem
- re-arranged the enabling/disabling nmi watchdog from proc space
- added cpumasks for hardlockup failure cases
- removed fallback to soft events if no PMU exists for hard events

V3:
- comment cleanups
- drop support for older softlockup code
- per_cpu cleanups
- completely remove software clock base hardlockup detector
- use per_cpu masking on hard/soft lockup detection
- #ifdef cleanups
- rename config option NMI_WATCHDOG to LOCKUP_DETECTOR
- documentation additions

V4:
- documentation fixes
- convert per_cpu to __get_cpu_var
- powerpc compile fixes

V5:
- split apart warn flags for hard and soft lockups

TODO:
- figure out how to make an arch-agnostic clock2cycles call
  (if possible) to feed into perf events as a sample period
