Hi, guys. I have implemented a low-overhead method for detecting interrupt storm in softlockup. Please review it, all comments are welcome. Changes from v7 to v8: - From Thomas Gleixner, implement statistics within the interrupt core code and provide sensible interfaces for the watchdog code. - Patch #1 remains unchanged. Patch #2 has significant changes based on Thomas's suggestions, which is why I have removed Liu Song and Douglas's Reviewed-by from patch #2. Please review it again, and all comments are welcome. Changes from v6 to v7: - Remove "READ_ONCE" in "start_counting_irqs" - Replace the hard-coded 5 with "NUM_SAMPLE_PERIODS" macro in "set_sample_period". - Add empty lines to help with reading the code. - Remove the branch that processes IRQs where "counts_diff = 0". - Add the Reviewed-by of Liu Song and Douglas. Changes from v5 to v6: - Use "./scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict" to get a few extra style nits and fix them. - Squash patch #3 into patch #1, and wrapp the help text to 80 columns. - Sort existing headers alphabetically in watchdog.c - Drop "softlockup_hardirq_cpus", just read "hardirq_counts" and see if it's non-NULL. - Store "nr_irqs" in a local variable. - Simplify the calculation of "cpu_diff". Changes from v4 to v5: - Rearranging variable placement to make code look neater. Changes from v3 to v4: - Renaming some variable and function names to make the code logic more readable. - Change the code location to avoid predeclaring. - Just swap rather than a double loop in tabulate_irq_count. - Since nr_irqs has the potential to grow at runtime, bounds-check logic has been implemented. - Add SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR_INTR_STORM Kconfig knob. Changes from v2 to v3: - From Liu Song, using enum instead of macro for cpu_stats, shortening the name 'idx_to_stat' to 'stats', adding 'get_16bit_precesion' instead of using right shift operations, and using 'struct irq_counts'. - From kernel robot test, using '__this_cpu_read' and '__this_cpu_write' instead of accessing to an per-cpu array directly, in order to avoid this warning. 'sparse: incorrect type in initializer (different modifiers)' Changes from v1 to v2: - From Douglas, optimize the memory of cpustats. With the maximum number of CPUs, that's now this. 2 * 8192 * 4 + 1 * 8192 * 5 * 4 + 1 * 8192 = 237,568 bytes. - From Liu Song, refactor the code format and add necessary comments. - From Douglas, use interrupt counts instead of interrupt time to determine the cause of softlockup. - Remove the cmdline parameter added in PATCHv1.
