Bug Description
I booted a Cavium ThunderX crb1s 2.0 system using the netboot mini iso via virtual media:

During boot I observed the following lockup on the serial console:

Note that, while I haven't been able to reproduce this by booting into Ubuntu from disk, I can easily reproduce it by booting d-i from disk - specifically, the linux and initrd.gz here:

- upstream-kernel-softlockup.log Edit (41.2 KiB, text/plain)
I have been able to reproduce a soft lockup using a pure upstream kernel (post-4.5 git, after the thunderx pcie drivers were merged) and the d-i initrd mentioned above. I've attached a log of one of those boots.
I used the Ubuntu config with the following exceptions:
CONFIG_DRM=y and CONFIG_DRM_AST=y - because, so far, I've only seen this with vga enabled.
CONFIG_KVM=n - because some commits fail to boot due to a panic in armpmu code, and KVM won't build w/ ARMPMU diabled.
(and just pressed enter during make oldconfig for everything else).
I could not reproduce with 4.6.0-rc1, so I thought this would be a good bisect candidate. Unfortunately, that went off into the weeds for a couple of reasons - vga doesn't work with some changesets, so I had to skip those, and I also suspect that this issue does not appear in every boot of a broken kernel, leading to false positive results.

Thanks Ming. I let that run for a few hours, but was unable to
reproduce. Are you seeing the same traceback along w the softlockup

Yes, it can be always triggered by 'tcpdump -I eth7' on cvm13.

Ming,
The "-I" option of tcpdump is monitoring mode typically applicable only to wifi interfaces. So even if you run it on Thunder's NIC interfaces it will return saying that this is not supported.
And BTW, what is eth7 ?
From 16.04 release all interfaces are coming up as "enP2xxxxx"

Even without the '-I', the issue still can be triggered.

Yeah, maybe this box isn't shipped with 16.04, and its kernel is
ubuntu@arm64:~$ uname -a
Linux arm64 4.2.0 #2 SMP Mon Dec 14 04:01:19 CST 2015 aarch64 aarch64
aarch64 GNU/Linux
but the log is very similar with Dann's report:

[337056.617657] LR is at mod_timer+

I tried PXE based install (just booting till the installer does network init) multiple times with Cavium UEFI and did not see this issue, but as soon as I tried AMI UEFI first time the "NMI softlockup ..." appeared after sometime while still in opening screen of "debian-installer".

fyi, I've found that removing the ast kernel module from the di initrd seems to avoid the issue.

I think AMI UEFI has the aspeed vga driver but Cavium UEFI doesn't. so this might be causing issues ?

- perf timechart of first 30s Edit (15.6 MiB, image/svg+xml)
I created a perf timechart (attached) to see if that would illuminate the problem. This is taken from the installer environment for the first 30s.
In this boot, the soft lockup occurred on CPU 11:
[ 32.815351] NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#11 stuck for 22s! [swapper/11:0]
This blocked period appears to be visible from the chart, but it isn't clear to me what it was executing at the time.
dann frazier (dannf) wrote : | #15 |
I captured a perf data file, starting just before the NMI kicked in - in this case, it again occurred on CPU 11. I found that CPU 11 had spent a lot of its time in cursor_

Looking at the profile of the other CPUs, I found one that was interesting - CPU #12 - which appears to be the one actually running the cursor update code CPU 11 is scheduling:

I wonder if this path is blocking, preventing the timer handler on CPU #11 from rescheduling. Indeed, when I time how long the handler takes from start to finish, I am seeing occasional times around ~.1s.
dann frazier (dannf) wrote : | #16 |
I used ftrace to do some duration measuring of the timer function fb_flashcursor(). I noticed several places where this timer takes around 98 ms to complete. This time seems to be due to multiple calls to __memcpy_toio() in ast_dirty_update():
for (i = y; i <= y2; i++) {
/* assume equal stride for now */
src_offset = dst_offset = i * afbdev-
memcpy_
My theory is that this is causing mod_timer() to block on the other CPU, resulting in the soft lockup.
Also - I built a custom d-i using pristine 4.6-rc7, and I am able to easily reproduce this. I think the next step here is to report this to upstream.

Hi Dann,
Andrew asked me to take a look at the issue, and from my tracing,
most of times, the cpu 'hangs' in the following line of code:
__mod_timer():
....
out_unlock:
spin_
If I added two trace points around the above line, most of times only
the trace point before the line is dumped, and the one after the line
can't dumped.
Thanks,

Looks the above issue is caused by passing 'jiffies' to mod_timer,

@Radha If you are still seeing this bug, can you attach a console log?
Here's the commit that was added in xenial to address this:
commit 51b7d7350e526bd
Author: David Daney <email address hidden>
Date: Tue May 24 12:55:54 2016 +0800
UBUNTU: SAUCE: tty: vt: Fix soft lockup in fbcon cursor blink timer.
BugLink: http://
We are getting somewhat random soft lockups with this signature:
[ 86.992215] [<fffffc0008093
[ 86.997082] [<fffffc0008418
[ 87.002991] [<fffffc000810e
[ 87.008378] [<fffffc000810e
[ 87.014200] [<fffffc0008090
[ 87.019590] [<fffffc00080af
[ 87.024458] [<fffffc00080fa
[ 87.030278] [<fffffc0008090
This is caused by the vt visual_init() function calling into
fbcon_init() with a vc_cur_blink_ms value of zero. This is a
transient condition, as it is later set to a non-zero value. But, if
the timer happens to expire while the blink rate is zero, it goes into
an endless loop, and we get soft lockup.
The fix is to initialize vc_cur_blink_ms before calling the con_init()
function.
