      lockup_detector: Update some config · e16bb1d7
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      We kept CONFIG_DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP around for compatibility with
      older configs. But it was enabled by default if CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL.
      
      So if we want to enable CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR on configs that had
      CONFIG_DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP, all we need is to have the same enabling
      by default if CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL. We can then remove
      CONFIG_DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP directly.
      
      So tag CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR as default y. This is what we want for
      most serious kernel debugging anyway.
      
      And also forbid the lockup detector in S390 as it was for the
      previous softlockup detector, event though the true reason for that
      is not outlined.

      x86, watchdog: Fix build error in hw_nmi.c · 5e85391b

      On some configs the following build error triggers:
      
       arch/x86/kernel/apic/hw_nmi.c:35: error: 'apic' undeclared (first use in this function)

       arch/x86/kernel/apic/hw_nmi.c:35: error: for each function it appears in.)
      
      Because asm/apic.h was only included implicitly. Include it explicitly.

      lockup_detector: Make BOOTPARAM_SOFTLOCKUP_PANIC depend on LOCKUP_DETECTOR · 89d7ce2a
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      Panic on softlockups was still depending on the softlockup detector.
      But the latter has been merged into the lockup detector now.
      
      Let's update this config dependency.

      lockup_detector: Separate touch_nmi_watchdog code path from touch_watchdog · d7c54733
      Don Zickus authored
      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.

      lockup_detector: Combine nmi_watchdog and softlockup detector · 58687acb
      Don Zickus authored
      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
