From a263898f628dd21e59210b547986c154788f628e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Sun, 30 Dec 2007 11:58:17 +0100 Subject: CPU hotplug: fix cpu_is_offline() on !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU make randconfig bootup testing found that the cpufreq code crashes on bootup, if the powernow-k8 driver is enabled and if maxcpus=1 passed on the boot line to a !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU kernel. First lockdep found out that there's an inconsistent unlock sequence: ===================================== [ BUG: bad unlock balance detected! ] ------------------------------------- swapper/1 is trying to release lock (&per_cpu(cpu_policy_rwsem, cpu)) at: [] unlock_policy_rwsem_write+0x3c/0x42 but there are no more locks to release! Call Trace: [] unlock_policy_rwsem_write+0x3c/0x42 [] print_unlock_inbalance_bug+0x104/0x12c [] mark_held_locks+0x56/0x94 [] unlock_policy_rwsem_write+0x3c/0x42 [] cpufreq_add_dev+0x2a8/0x5c4 ... then shortly afterwards the cpufreq code crashed on an assert: ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c:1068! invalid opcode: 0000 [1] SMP [...] Call Trace: [] sysdev_driver_unregister+0x5b/0x91 [] cpufreq_register_driver+0x15d/0x1a2 [] powernowk8_init+0x86/0x94 [...] ---[ end trace 1e9219be2b4431de ]--- the bug was caused by maxcpus=1 bootup, which brought up the secondary core as !cpu_online() but !cpu_is_offline() either, which on on !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is always 0 (include/linux/cpu.h): /* CPUs don't go offline once they're online w/o CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU */ static inline int cpu_is_offline(int cpu) { return 0; } but the cpufreq code uses cpu_online() and cpu_is_offline() in a mixed way - the low-level drivers use cpu_online(), while the cpufreq core uses cpu_is_offline(). This opened up the possibility to add the non-initialized sysdev device of the secondary core: cpufreq-core: trying to register driver powernow-k8 cpufreq-core: adding CPU 0 powernow-k8: BIOS error - no PSB or ACPI _PSS objects cpufreq-core: initialization failed cpufreq-core: adding CPU 1 cpufreq-core: initialization failed which then blew up. The fix is to make cpu_is_offline() always the negation of cpu_online(). With that fix applied the kernel boots up fine without crashing: Calling initcall 0xffffffff80cc0510: powernowk8_init+0x0/0x94() powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ processors (1 cpu cores) (version 2.20.00) powernow-k8: BIOS error - no PSB or ACPI _PSS objects initcall 0xffffffff80cc0510: powernowk8_init+0x0/0x94() returned -19. initcall 0xffffffff80cc0510 ran for 19 msecs: powernowk8_init+0x0/0x94() Calling initcall 0xffffffff80cc328f: init_lapic_nmi_sysfs+0x0/0x39() We could fix this by making CPU enumeration aware of max_cpus, but that would be more fragile IMO, and the cpu_online(cpu) != cpu_is_offline(cpu) possibility was quite confusing and a continuous source of bugs too. Most distributions have kernels with CPU hotplug enabled, so this bug remained hidden for a long time. Bug forensics: The broken cpu_is_offline() API variant was introduced via: commit a59d2e4e6977e7b94e003c96a41f07e96cddc340 Author: Rusty Russell Date: Mon Mar 8 06:06:03 2004 -0800 [PATCH] minor cleanups for hotplug CPUs ( this predates linux-2.6.git, this commit is available from Thomas's historic git tree. ) Then 1.5 years later the cpufreq code made use of it: commit c32b6b8e524d2c337767d312814484d9289550cf Author: Ashok Raj Date: Sun Oct 30 14:59:54 2005 -0800 [PATCH] create and destroy cpufreq sysfs entries based on cpu notifiers + if (cpu_is_offline(cpu)) + return 0; which is a correct use of the subtly broken new API. v2.6.15 then shipped with this bug included. then it took two more years for random-kernel qa to hit it.
