In my investigation, I found the root cause is wq_numa_possible_cpumask.
All entries of wq_numa_possible_cpumask is allocated by
alloc_cpumask_var_node(). And these entries are used without initializing.
So these entries have wrong value.
When hot-adding and onlining CPU, wq_update_unbound_numa() is called.
wq_update_unbound_numa() calls alloc_unbound_pwq(). And alloc_unbound_pwq()
calls get_unbound_pool(). In get_unbound_pool(), worker_pool->node is set
as follow:
3592 /* if cpumask is contained inside a NUMA node, we belong to that node */
3593 if (wq_numa_enabled) {
3594 for_each_node(node) {
3595 if (cpumask_subset(pool->attrs->cpumask,
3596 wq_numa_possible_cpumask[node])) {
3597 pool->node = node;
3598 break;
3599 }
3600 }
3601 }
But wq_numa_possible_cpumask[node] does not have correct cpumask. So, wrong
node is selected. As a result, kernel panic occurs.
By this patch, all entries of wq_numa_possible_cpumask are allocated by
zalloc_cpumask_var_node to initialize them. And the panic disappeared.

Writing to either "cpuset.cpus" or "cpuset.mems" file flushes
cpuset_hotplug_work so that cpu or memory hotunplug doesn't end up
migrating tasks off a cpuset after new resources are added to it.
As cpuset_hotplug_work calls into cgroup core via
cgroup_transfer_tasks(), this flushing adds the dependency to cgroup
core locking from cpuset_write_resmak(). This used to be okay because
cgroup interface files were protected by a different mutex; however,
8353da1f91 ("cgroup: remove cgroup_tree_mutex") simplified the
cgroup core locking and this dependency became a deadlock hazard -
cgroup file removal performed under cgroup core lock tries to drain
on-going file operation which is trying to flush cpuset_hotplug_work
blocked on the same cgroup core lock.
The locking simplification was done because kernfs added an a lot
easier way to deal with circular dependencies involving kernfs active
protection. Let's use the same strategy in cpuset and break active
protection in cpuset_write_resmask(). While it isn't the prettiest,
this is a very rare, likely unique, situation which also goes away on
the unified hierarchy.
The commands to trigger the deadlock warning without the patch and the
lockdep output follow.

The usage of uprobe_buffer_enable() added by dcad1a20 is very wrong,
1. uprobe_buffer_enable() and uprobe_buffer_disable() are not balanced,
_enable() should be called only if !enabled.
2. If uprobe_buffer_enable() fails probe_event_enable() should clear
tp.flags and free event_file_link.
3. If uprobe_register() fails it should do uprobe_buffer_disable().

I do not know why dd9fa555d7 "tracing/uprobes: Move argument fetching

wrong.
OK, perhaps it makes sense to avoid store_trace_args() if the tracee is
nacked by uprobe_perf_filter(). But then we should kill the same code
in uprobe_perf_func() and unify the TRACE/PROFILE filtering (we need to
do this anyway to mix perf/ftrace). Until then this code actually adds
the pessimization because uprobe_perf_filter() will be called twice and
return T in likely case.

Add WARN_ON's into uprobe_unregister() and uprobe_apply() to ensure
that nobody tries to play with the dead uprobe/consumer. This helps
to catch the bugs like the one fixed by the previous patch.
In the longer term we should fix this poorly designed interface.
uprobe_register() should return "struct uprobe *" which should be
passed to apply/unregister. Plus other semantic changes, see the
changelog in commit 41ccba029e.

This reverts commit 43fe98913c.
This patch is very wrong. Firstly, this change leads to unbalanced
uprobe_unregister(). Just for example,
# perf probe -x /lib/libc.so.6 syscall
# echo 1 >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/probe_libc/enable
# perf record -e probe_libc:syscall whatever
after that uprobe is dead (unregistered) but the user of ftrace/perf
can't know this, and it looks as if nobody hits this probe.
This would be easy to fix, but there are other reasons why it is not
simple to mix ftrace and perf. If nothing else, they can't share the
same ->consumer.filter. This is fixable too, but probably we need to
fix the poorly designed uprobe_register() interface first. At least
"register" and "apply" should be clearly separated.

We've converted cgroup to kernfs so cgroup won't be intertwined with
vfs objects and locking, but there are dark areas.
Run two instances of this script concurrently:
for ((; ;))
{
mount -t cgroup -o cpuacct xxx /cgroup
umount /cgroup
}
After a while, I saw two mount processes were stuck at retrying, because
they were waiting for a subsystem to become free, but the root associated
with this subsystem never got freed.
This can happen, if thread A is in the process of killing superblock but
hasn't called percpu_ref_kill(), and at this time thread B is mounting
the same cgroup root and finds the root in the root list and performs
percpu_ref_try_get().
To fix this, we try to increase both the refcnt of the superblock and the
percpu refcnt of cgroup root.
v2:
- we should try to get both the superblock refcnt and cgroup_root refcnt,
because cgroup_root may have no superblock assosiated with it.
- adjust/add comments.

The cause is that cpuset_mems_allowed() try to take
mutex_lock(&callback_mutex) under the rcu_read_lock(which was hold in
__mpol_dup()). And in cpuset_mems_allowed(), the access to cpuset is
under rcu_read_lock, so in __mpol_dup, we can reduce the rcu_read_lock
protection region to protect the access to cpuset only in
current_cpuset_is_being_rebound(). So that we can avoid this bug.
This patch is a temporary solution that just addresses the bug
mentioned above, can not fix the long-standing issue about cpuset.mems
rebinding on fork():
"When the forker's task_struct is duplicated (which includes
->mems_allowed) and it races with an update to cpuset_being_rebound
in update_tasks_nodemask() then the task's mems_allowed doesn't get
updated. And the child task's mems_allowed can be wrong if the
cpuset's nodemask changes before the child has been added to the
cgroup's tasklist."

Pull tracing cleanups and fixes from Steven Rostedt:
"This includes three patches from Oleg Nesterov. The first is a fix to
a race condition that happens between enabling/disabling syscall
tracepoints and new process creations (the check to go into the ptrace
path for a process can be set when it shouldn't, or not set when it
should). Not a major bug but one that should be fixed and even
applied to stable.
The other two patches are cleanup/fixes that are not that critical,
but for an -rc1 release would be nice to have. They both deal with
syscall tracepoints.
It also includes a patch to introduce a new macro for the
TRACE_EVENT() format called __field_struct(). Originally, __field()
was used to record any variable into a trace event, but with the
addition of setting the "is signed" attribute, the check causes
anything but a primitive variable to fail to compile. That is,
structs and unions can't be used as they once were. When the "is
signed" check was introduce there were only primitive variables being
recorded. But that will change soon and it was reported that
__field() causes build failures.
To solve the __field() issue, __field_struct() is introduced to allow
trace_events to be able to record complex types too"

A 'softlockup' is defined as a bug that causes the kernel to loop in
kernel mode for more than a predefined period to time, without giving
other tasks a chance to run.
Currently, upon detection of this condition by the per-cpu watchdog
task, debug information (including a stack trace) is sent to the system
log.
On some occasions, we have observed that the "victim" rather than the
actual "culprit" (i.e. the owner/holder of the contended resource) is
reported to the user. Often this information has proven to be
insufficient to assist debugging efforts.
To avoid loss of useful debug information, for architectures which
support NMI, this patch makes it possible to improve soft lockup
reporting. This is accomplished by issuing an NMI to each cpu to obtain
a stack trace.
If NMI is not supported we just revert back to the old method. A sysctl
and boot-time parameter is available to toggle this feature.

However, if the percpu_pagelist_fraction sysctl is set by the user, it
is also impossible to restore it to the kernel default since the user
cannot write 0 to the sysctl.
This patch allows the user to write 0 to restore the default behavior.
It still requires a fraction equal to or larger than 8, however, as
stated by the documentation for sanity. If a value in the range [1, 7]
is written, the sysctl will return EINVAL.
This successfully solves the divide by zero issue at the same time.

NMI watchdog: disabled (cpu0): hardware events not enabled
What happened is after updating the watchdog_thresh, the lockup detector
is restarted to utilize the new value. Part of this process involved
disabling preemption. Once preemption was disabled, perf tried to
allocate a new event (as part of the restart). This caused the above
BUG_ON as you can't sleep with preemption disabled.
The preemption restriction seemed agressive as we are not doing anything
on that particular cpu, but with all the online cpus (which are
protected by the get_online_cpus lock). Remove the restriction and the
BUG_ON goes away.

To allow filtering of huge pages, makedumpfile must be able to identify
them in the dump. This can be done by checking the appropriate page
flag, so communicate its value to makedumpfile through the VMCOREINFO
interface.
There's only one small catch. Depending on how many page flags are
available on a given architecture, this bit can be called PG_head or
PG_compound.
I sent a similar patch back in 2012, but Eric Biederman did not like
using an #ifdef. So, this time I'm adding a common symbol
(PG_head_mask) instead.
See https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/28/91 for the previous version.

There is a race between the CPU offline code (within stop-machine) and
the smp-call-function code, which can lead to getting IPIs on the
outgoing CPU, *after* it has gone offline.
Specifically, this can happen when using
smp_call_function_single_async() to send the IPI, since this API allows
sending asynchronous IPIs from IRQ disabled contexts. The exact race
condition is described below.
During CPU offline, in stop-machine, we don't enforce any rule in the
_DISABLE_IRQ stage, regarding the order in which the outgoing CPU and
the other CPUs disable their local interrupts. Due to this, we can
encounter a situation in which an IPI is sent by one of the other CPUs
to the outgoing CPU (while it is *still* online), but the outgoing CPU
ends up noticing it only *after* it has gone offline.
CPU 1 CPU 2
(Online CPU) (CPU going offline)
Enter _PREPARE stage Enter _PREPARE stage
Enter _DISABLE_IRQ stage
=
Got a device interrupt, and | Didn't notice the IPI

Enter _RUN stage Enter _RUN stage
=
Busy loop with interrupts | Invoke take_cpu_down()
disabled. | and take CPU 2 offline
=
Enter _EXIT stage Enter _EXIT stage
Re-enable interrupts Re-enable interrupts
The pending IPI is noted
immediately, but alas,
the CPU is offline at
this point.
This of course, makes the smp-call-function IPI handler code running on
CPU 2 unhappy and it complains about "receiving an IPI on an offline
CPU".
One real example of the scenario on CPU 1 is the block layer's
complete-request call-path:
__blk_complete_request() [interrupt-handler]
raise_blk_irq()
smp_call_function_single_async()
However, if we look closely, the block layer does check that the target
CPU is online before firing the IPI. So in this case, it is actually
the unfortunate ordering/timing of events in the stop-machine phase that
leads to receiving IPIs after the target CPU has gone offline.
In reality, getting a late IPI on an offline CPU is not too bad by
itself (this can happen even due to hardware latencies in IPI
send-receive). It is a bug only if the target CPU really went offline
without executing all the callbacks queued on its list. (Note that a
CPU is free to execute its pending smp-call-function callbacks in a
batch, without waiting for the corresponding IPIs to arrive for each one
of those callbacks).
So, fixing this issue can be broken up into two parts:
1. Ensure that a CPU goes offline only after executing all the
callbacks queued on it.
2. Modify the warning condition in the smp-call-function IPI handler
code such that it warns only if an offline CPU got an IPI *and* that
CPU had gone offline with callbacks still pending in its queue.
Achieving part 1 is straight-forward - just flush (execute) all the
queued callbacks on the outgoing CPU in the CPU_DYING stage[1],
including those callbacks for which the source CPU's IPIs might not have
been received on the outgoing CPU yet. Once we do this, an IPI that
arrives late on the CPU going offline (either due to the race mentioned
above, or due to hardware latencies) will be completely harmless, since
the outgoing CPU would have executed all the queued callbacks before
going offline.
Overall, this fix (parts 1 and 2 put together) additionally guarantees
that we will see a warning only when the *IPI-sender code* is buggy -
that is, if it queues the callback _after_ the target CPU has gone
offline.
[1]. The CPU_DYING part needs a little more explanation: by the time we
execute the CPU_DYING notifier callbacks, the CPU would have already
been marked offline. But we want to flush out the pending callbacks at
this stage, ignoring the fact that the CPU is offline. So restructure
the IPI handler code so that we can by-pass the "is-cpu-offline?" check
in this particular case. (Of course, the right solution here is to fix
CPU hotplug to mark the CPU offline _after_ invoking the CPU_DYING
notifiers, but this requires a lot of audit to ensure that this change
doesn't break any existing code; hence lets go with the solution
proposed above until that is done).
