Allow a magic sysrq to be triggered from an NMI context. This is done via marking some sysrq actions as NMI safe. Safe actions will be allowed to run from NMI context whilst that cannot run from an NMI will be queued as irq_work for later processing. The major use-case is to add NMI debugging capabilities to the kernel in order to debug scenarios such as: - Primary CPU is stuck in deadlock with interrupts disabled and hence doesn't honor serial device interrupt. So having magic sysrq triggered as an NMI is helpful for debugging. - Always enabled NMI based magic sysrq irrespective of whether the serial TTY port is active or not. - Apart from UART interrupts, it allows magic sysrq to be triggered from a diagnostic NMI interrupt on systems such as A64FX. A particular sysrq handler is only marked as NMI safe in case the handler isn't contending for any synchronization primitives as in NMI context they are expected to cause deadlocks. Note that the debug sysrq do not contend for any synchronization primitives. It does call kgdb_breakpoint() to provoke a trap but that trap handler should be NMI safe on architectures that implement an NMI. Signed-off-by: Sumit Garg <sumit.garg@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Changes in v4: - Use atomic operations for sysrq key variable to gracefully handle concurrent sysrq entry on multiple CPUs. - Rename sysrq_nmi_key to sysrq_key as it isn't anymore specific to NMI context. - Addressed other misc. comments from Doug. Changes in v3: - Extend commit message to include use-cases. - Get rid of redundant kfifo stuff. - Incorporate other misc. feedback from Peter Z. Changes in v2: - Rebased to 5.17-rc5. - Separate this patch from complete patch-set [1] as its relevant for other diagnostic NMI interrupts [2] as well apart from uart NMI interrupts. - Incorporated suggestions from Doug.
