I'm sorry to have to bear some bad news on that front. :( I just had a go at testing this on a Juno dev board, using your queue.git sched/idle branch and defconfig + CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y + CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP=y + CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=y. With that I consistently see RCU at boot time (log below). | ============================= | WARNING: suspicious RCU usage | 6.2.0-rc3-00051-gced9b6eecb31 #1 Not tainted | ----------------------------- | include/trace/events/ipi.h:19 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage! | | other info that might help us debug this: | | | rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1 | RCU used illegally from extended quiescent state! | no locks held by swapper/0/0. | | stack backtrace: | CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 6.2.0-rc3-00051-gced9b6eecb31 #1 | Hardware name: ARM LTD ARM Juno Development Platform/ARM Juno Development Platform, BIOS EDK II May 16 2021 | Call trace: | dump_backtrace.part.0+0xe4/0xf0 | show_stack+0x18/0x30 | dump_stack_lvl+0x98/0xd4 | dump_stack+0x18/0x34 | lockdep_rcu_suspicious+0xf8/0x10c | trace_ipi_raise+0x1a8/0x1b0 | arch_irq_work_raise+0x4c/0x70 | __irq_work_queue_local+0x48/0x80 | irq_work_queue+0x50/0x80 | __wake_up_klogd.part.0+0x98/0xe0 | defer_console_output+0x20/0x30 | vprintk+0x98/0xf0 | _printk+0x5c/0x84 | lockdep_rcu_suspicious+0x34/0x10c | trace_lock_acquire+0x174/0x180 | lock_acquire+0x3c/0x8c | _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x70/0x150 | down_trylock+0x18/0x50 | __down_trylock_console_sem+0x3c/0xd0 | console_trylock+0x28/0x90 | vprintk_emit+0x11c/0x354 | vprintk_default+0x38/0x4c | vprintk+0xd4/0xf0 | _printk+0x5c/0x84 | lockdep_rcu_suspicious+0x34/0x10c | printk_sprint+0x238/0x240 | vprintk_store+0x32c/0x4b0 | vprintk_emit+0x104/0x354 | vprintk_default+0x38/0x4c | vprintk+0xd4/0xf0 | _printk+0x5c/0x84 | lockdep_rcu_suspicious+0x34/0x10c | trace_irq_disable+0x1ac/0x1b0 | trace_hardirqs_off+0xe8/0x110 | cpu_suspend+0x4c/0xfc | psci_cpu_suspend_enter+0x58/0x6c | psci_enter_idle_state+0x70/0x170 | cpuidle_enter_state+0xc4/0x464 | cpuidle_enter+0x38/0x50 | do_idle+0x230/0x2c0 | cpu_startup_entry+0x24/0x30 | rest_init+0x110/0x190 | arch_post_acpi_subsys_init+0x0/0x18 | start_kernel+0x6f8/0x738 | __primary_switched+0xbc/0xc4 IIUC what's happenign here is the PSCI cpuidle driver has entered idle and RCU is no longer watching when arm64's cpu_suspend() manipulates DAIF. Our local_daif_*() helpers poke lockdep and tracing, hence the call to trace_hardirqs_off() and the RCU usage. I think we need RCU to be watching all the way down to cpu_suspend(), and it's cpu_suspend() that should actually enter/exit idle context. That and we need to make cpu_suspend() and the low-level PSCI invocation noinstr. I'm not sure whether 32-bit will have a similar issue or not. I'm surprised no-one else who has tested has seen this; I suspect people haven't enabled lockdep and friends. :/ Thanks, Mark. _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
