Subject: [PATCH] x86: avoid calling arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() at the same time on SMP
Date: Tue,  2 Nov 2010 14:16:58 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1288721818-10851-1-git-send-email-dzickus@redhat.com> (raw)

From: Dongdong Deng <dongdong.deng@windriver.com>

The spin_lock_debug/rcu_cpu_stall detector uses
trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() to dump cpu backtrace.
Therefore it is possible that trigger_all_cpu_backtrace()
could be called at the same time on different CPUs, which
triggers and 'unknown reason NMI' warning. The following case
illustrates the problem:

      CPU1                    CPU2                     ...   CPU N
                       trigger_all_cpu_backtrace()
                       set "backtrace_mask" to cpu mask
                               |
generate NMI interrupts  generate NMI interrupts       ...
    \                          |                               /
     \                         |                              /
   The "backtrace_mask" will be cleaned by the first NMI interrupt
  at nmi_watchdog_tick(), then the following NMI interrupts generated
by other cpus's arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() will be took as
unknown reason NMI interrupts.

This patch uses a lock to avoid the problem, and stop the
arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() calling to avoid dumping double cpu
backtrace info when there is already a trigger_all_cpu_backtrace()
in progress.
