How's something like this then?

Thank you! That approach seems to pass syzbot (also with
CONFIG_PARAVIRT) and kcsan-test tests.
I had to modify it some, so that report.c's use of the restore logic
works and not mess up the IRQ trace printed on KCSAN reports (with
CONFIG_KCSAN_VERBOSE).
I still need to fully convince myself all is well now and we don't end
up with more fixes. :-) If it passes further testing, I'll send it as a
real patch (I want to add you as Co-developed-by, but would need your
Signed-off-by for the code you pasted, I think.)
I let it run on syzbot through the night, and it's fine without
PARAVIRT (see below). I have sent the patch (need your Signed-off-by
as it's based on your code, thank you!):
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200807090031.3506555-1-elver@xxxxxxxxxx
With CONFIG_PARAVIRT=y (without the notrace->noinstr patch), I still
get lockdep DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(!lockdep_hardirqs_enabled()), although
it takes longer for syzbot to hit them. But I think that's expected
because we can still get the recursion that I pointed out, and will
need that patch.
Never mind, I get these warnings even if I don't turn on KCSAN
(CONFIG_KCSAN=n). Something else is going on with PARAVIRT=y that
throws off IRQ state tracking. :-/
What are the settings of CONFIG_PARAVIRT_XXL and
CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS in this case?
I attached a config.
$> grep PARAVIRT .config
CONFIG_PARAVIRT=y
CONFIG_PARAVIRT_XXL=y
# CONFIG_PARAVIRT_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS=y
# CONFIG_PARAVIRT_TIME_ACCOUNTING is not set
CONFIG_PARAVIRT_CLOCK=y
Anything special I need to do to reproduce the problem? Or would you be
willing to do some more rounds with different config settings?
I can only test it with syzkaller, but that probably doesn't help if you
don't already have it set up. It can't seem to find a C reproducer.
I did some more rounds with different configs.
I think CONFIG_PARAVIRT_XXL shouldn't matter, but I'm not completely
sure about that. CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS would be my primary suspect.
Yes, PARAVIRT_XXL doesn't make a different. When disabling
PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS, however, the warnings go away.
Thanks for testing!
I take it you are doing the tests in a KVM guest?
If so I have a gut feeling that the use of local_irq_save() and
local_irq_restore() in kvm_wait() might be fishy. I might be completely
wrong here, though.
BTW, I think Xen's variant of pv spinlocks is fine (no playing with IRQ
on/off).
Hyper-V seems to do the same as KVM, and kicking another vcpu could be
problematic as well, as it is just using IPI.
