Linux kernel source tree
eac80dd4bc
Upon a panic() the kernel will use either smp_send_stop() or crash_smp_send_stop() to attempt to stop secondary CPUs via an IPI, which may or may not be an NMI. Generally it's preferable that this is an NMI so that CPUs can be stopped in as many situations as possible, but it's not always possible to provide an NMI, and there are cases where CPUs may be unable to handle the NMI regardless. This patch adds a test for panic() where all other CPUs are stuck with interrupts disabled, which can be used to check whether the kernel gracefully handles CPUs failing to respond to a stop, and whether NMIs actually work to stop CPUs. For example, on arm64 *without* an NMI, this results in: | # echo PANIC_STOP_IRQOFF > /sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/DIRECT | lkdtm: Performing direct entry PANIC_STOP_IRQOFF | Kernel panic - not syncing: panic stop irqoff test | CPU: 2 PID: 24 Comm: migration/2 Not tainted 6.5.0-rc3-00077-ge6c782389895-dirty #4 | Hardware name: QEMU QEMU Virtual Machine, BIOS 0.0.0 02/06/2015 | Stopper: multi_cpu_stop+0x0/0x1a0 <- stop_machine_cpuslocked+0x158/0x1a4 | Call trace: | dump_backtrace+0x94/0xec | show_stack+0x18/0x24 | dump_stack_lvl+0x74/0xc0 | dump_stack+0x18/0x24 | panic+0x358/0x3e8 | lkdtm_PANIC+0x0/0x18 | multi_cpu_stop+0x9c/0x1a0 | cpu_stopper_thread+0x84/0x118 | smpboot_thread_fn+0x224/0x248 | kthread+0x114/0x118 | ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20 | SMP: stopping secondary CPUs | SMP: failed to stop secondary CPUs 0-3 | Kernel Offset: 0x401cf3490000 from 0xffff80008000000c0 | PHYS_OFFSET: 0x40000000 | CPU features: 0x00000000,68c167a1,cce6773f | Memory Limit: none | ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: panic stop irqoff test ]--- Note the "failed to stop secondary CPUs 0-3" message.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
