Subject[PATCH] x86: avoid calling arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() at the same time on SMP
Date
From: Dongdong Deng <dongdong.deng@windriver.com>

The spin_lock_debug/rcu_cpu_stall detector uses
trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() to dump cpu backtrace.
Therefore it is possible that trigger_all_cpu_backtrace()
could be called at the same time on different CPUs, which
triggers and 'unknown reason NMI' warning. The following case
illustrates the problem:

CPU1 CPU2 ... CPU N
trigger_all_cpu_backtrace()
set "backtrace_mask" to cpu mask
|
generate NMI interrupts generate NMI interrupts ...
\ | /
\ | /
The "backtrace_mask" will be cleaned by the first NMI interrupt
at nmi_watchdog_tick(), then the following NMI interrupts generated
by other cpus's arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() will be took as
unknown reason NMI interrupts.

This patch uses a lock to avoid the problem, and stop the
arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() calling to avoid dumping double cpu
backtrace info when there is already a trigger_all_cpu_backtrace()
in progress.
