[PATCH] lockdep: add lockdep_cleanup_dead_cpu()

From: David Woodhouse
Date: Sat Oct 28 2023 - 07:14:42 EST


From: David Woodhouse <dwmw@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add a function to check that an offlone CPU left the tracing infrastructure
in a sane state. The acpi_idle_play_dead() function was recently observed
calling safe_halt() instead of raw_safe_halt(), which had the side-effect
of setting the hardirqs_enabled flag for the offline CPU. On x86 this
triggered lockdep warnings when the CPU came back online, but too early
for the exception to be handled correctly, leading to a triple-fault.

Add lockdep_cleanup_dead_cpu() to check for this kind of failure mode,
print the events leading up to it, and correct it so that the CPU can
come online again correctly.

[ 61.556652] smpboot: CPU 1 is now offline
[ 61.556769] CPU 1 left hardirqs enabled!
[ 61.556915] irq event stamp: 128149
[ 61.556965] hardirqs last enabled at (128149): [<ffffffff81720a36>] acpi_idle_play_dead+0x46/0x70
[ 61.557055] hardirqs last disabled at (128148): [<ffffffff81124d50>] do_idle+0x90/0xe0
[ 61.557117] softirqs last enabled at (128078): [<ffffffff81cec74c>] __do_softirq+0x31c/0x423
[ 61.557199] softirqs last disabled at (128065): [<ffffffff810baae1>] __irq_exit_rcu+0x91/0x100

This would have saved us a lot of debugging in the last week.
