Description satmd 2023-06-24 08:12:17 UTC
Since upgrading from gentoo-sources 6.2.8 to 6.3.8, I no longer can boot my system

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Build 6.3.8 with the .config from 6.2.8 + make oldconfig, default choices for prompts
2. reboot
Actual Results:  
System gets stuck once my wireguard interface goes up

Expected Results:  
System just boots :tm:

My setup is not trivial and I have done some extensive tests already.

- gcc 12 VS gcc 13 does not make a difference (6.2 was on gcc 12 and my first 6.3 was on gcc 13, I've then tried downgrading gcc to 12 for the new kernel)
- The code of wireguard did not change at all between 6.2.8 and 6.3.8
- 6.3.4 exhibits the same problem
- If I rename wireguard.ko to wireguard.ko.disabled and I don't load the module, the reboot is successful
- dmesg timing always shows the rcu stall few seconds after loading wireguard and setting up the interface
- the stall happens when I put an interface up and presumably receive/sends traffic
- the wireguard interface is operating on top of a bonding (lacp) interface made of two ports of an intel network card (igb).
- Unfortunately I cannot rebuild the 6.2.8 kernel, because its sources already have been uninstalled and aren't available in portage anymore (there's only 6.1.x and 6.3.x)
- The affected machine is a Dell R620 model (ancient intel cpu), so maybe microcode?
- The machine is remote with no physical access, but I have a ssh to serial access to it.

There's some things that I want to try and document:
- Try 6.3.0 too
- Replace igb of 6.3.8 with the code of 6.2.x
- Replace bonding of 6.3.8 with the code of 6.2.x
- I'd like to eliminate buggy firmware as a possible source of trouble, but I'm haven't found a way to build 6.3.x with older firmware yet, I don't know the version used in the 6.2.8 kernel

I'll attach all rcu stalls to this bug report, as well as the diff of the kernel configs.

That's what I came up with now, I'll add more information on request.

You should be able to grab it from git history, see https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Downgrading_a_package_to_removed_version. Let us know if you need more help with that bit.

Ideally, would grab 6.2.16 as well and then that gives you a smaller range to bisect between if that works (or doesn't, even).
Comment 8 satmd 2023-06-24 08:26:22 UTC
Kernel cmdline:
> root=UUID=... ro console=ttyS1,115200 rd.auto quiet loglevel=1  cgroup_enable=memory swapaccount=1 msr.allow_writes=on

Please note that I also tried booting with
> root=UUID=... ro console=ttyS1,115200 rd.auto swapaccount=1

At least those option do not seem to make a difference
Comment 9 satmd 2023-06-24 08:31:43 UTC
Config diff for the kernel betwen 6.2.8 and 6.3.8:

# diff -uNr /boot/config-6.2.8-gentoo .config | grep "^[+-][^#+-]"
-CONFIG_CC_VERSION_TEXT="gcc (Gentoo Hardened 12.2.1_p20230304 p13) 12.2.1 20230304"
+CONFIG_CC_VERSION_TEXT="gcc (Gentoo Hardened 13.1.1_p20230527 p3) 13.1.1 20230527"
-CONFIG_GCC_VERSION=120201
+CONFIG_GCC_VERSION=130101
-CONFIG_GCC12_NO_ARRAY_BOUNDS=y
+CONFIG_SCHED_MM_CID=y
+CONFIG_KVM_GENERIC_HARDWARE_ENABLING=y
+CONFIG_AS_GFNI=y
-CONFIG_BLOCK_COMPAT=y
-CONFIG_NETFILTER_FAMILY_ARP=y
-CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_CLUSTERIP=m
+CONFIG_NET_SCH_MQPRIO_LIB=m
+CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_PCILIB=y

+CONFIG_INTEL_TCC=y
+CONFIG_HID_SUPPORT=y
+CONFIG_I2C_HID=y
+CONFIG_LEGACY_DIRECT_IO=y
+CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_CPUTIME=y

This is the current state of .config with GCC 13. I tried GCC 12 with the same outcome, only CONFIG_CC_VERSION_TEXT and CONFIG_GCC_VERSION would be different.

I have added CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_CPUTIME only after the first problems in order to get more diagnostic output, other options have been left as defaults when doing `make oldconfig`.

I *do* note that cpuidle code has been problematic on this machine some years ago and cpuidle is now enabled as a dependency together with ACPI code it seems. I do not have much more knowledge about the differences' influence.
Comment 10 satmd 2023-06-24 08:56:41 UTC
Building and testing 6.2.16 and 6.3.0 with gcc 13 and current firmwares now.
Comment 11 satmd 2023-06-24 09:58:19 UTC
Results with 6.2.16 and 6.3.0:

- 6.3.0 does not boot
- 6.2.16 does boot

Since I've used the current firmware, microcode and gcc 13, I think I can eliminate those from the equation.

Leaves me to think that this is really a bug with the kernel.

Anything else I should try?
Comment 12 Mike Pagano gentoo-dev 2023-06-24 22:21:43 UTC
How about a git bisect between the last working version and the first non-working version?
Comment 13 satmd 2023-06-25 14:34:52 UTC
I will now start bisecting using instructions from https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Kernel_git-bisect

good: v6.2.16
bad: v6.3

Since my hardware is older and is in productive use, this will probably take some days for me.
Comment 14 satmd 2023-06-25 19:20:02 UTC
I've progressed a bit:
- The bug appears in upstream kernel (not gentoo patchset)
- It seems that the bug was introduced after 6.3.0-rc5
- It seems that the bug was introduced before 6.3.0-rc7

I'm still running bisect.

    x86/acpi/boot: Correct acpi_is_processor_usable() check

    The logic in acpi_is_processor_usable() requires the online capable
    bit be set for hotpluggable CPUs.  The online capable bit has been
    introduced in ACPI 6.3.

    However, for ACPI revisions < 6.3 which do not support that bit, CPUs
    should be reported as usable, not the other way around.

    Reverse the check.

I will try to toggle CPU hotplugging. Aside from that, I currently have no further ideas.
Comment 16 satmd 2023-06-26 07:36:01 UTC
I concluded that replacing boot.c by the one of 6.2.16 might be producing a working kernel, but it wasn't. Now I'm thinking that the rcu stall isn't happening consistently with every boot.

I'm doubting the results of git bisect too now.

I suggest re-running the bisect but doing two steps per boot test instead of one before marking it as good/bad.

What do you mean by this?

Reboot twice for each bisect step?

Can you remove wireguard and test?

Can I see your .config ?

Also, please test with 6.4.0 with and without wireguard.

Thanks.

Also: does a revert of that commit help? If not, it implies it might be a bogus result.

Comment 25 satmd 2023-06-30 20:36:22 UTC
Preparing 6.4.0 with wireguard now.

Those are my suggestions, please comment on it if you like me to change it. I'm writing it down so I can proceed a bit. I won't receive mails during testing, because the system also handles all my mail. Unfortunately, I do not have a fallback system nor a spare copy to do this on.

That kernel will also use a newer linux-firmware package. I mention it here just in case and ignore it for now. I may look into that if 6.4.0 + wireguard unexpectedly don't experience the bug - else I just expect it to not make a difference, but who knows, I'm keeping this door open.

When initially testing 6.3.x - before using git bisect - I was able to boot the system successfully as long as I did not load the wireguard.ko kernel module, albeit I'm not sure I gave it enough time to really produce a RCU stall.

So, right now I'll test 6.4.0 with and without wireguard.
I will first disable wireguard by hiding wireguard.ko on the filesystem and if that still triggers the bug, I'll disable wireguard support on the .config as well.

If 6.4.0 boots well with wireguard, I guess that's the fix. I do not want to waste time debugging superseded kernels unless you still want me to.

If 6.4.0 does not boot with wireguard, I'll try the methods from above and also try 6.4.0 and latest 6.3.x with *that* commit reverted.

That revert will be applied to the git sources of the kernel, right?
I also could try `git diff | patch -R` from the git-based kernel sources onto the gentoo sources. I didn't do that yet because I can produce the bug with vanilla.

Please feel free and encouraged to make changes to my plan. :)

Sorry this is such a pain. The reason I asked you to test without wireguard is because the BUG output references a function in the wireguard module.

Good luck !

RCU stall with 6.4.0 with delayed loading of wireguard.ko

New results!
(1) 6.4.0 with wireguard hangs
(2) 6.4.0 with wireguard.ko renamed to wireguard.ko.disabled hangs after loading the module *AND* configuring an interface on it

The attached file is with option (2).

Yeah, that's fine with me - kernel people may or may not want you to try find the fix, but I don't see the need really given it's about 6.3 vs 6.4.

yes, just git sources are fine

I skipped the test with removing wireguard from .config, since the "ok state" is reachable if I just do not create an interface with it. It's safe to assume that not building the module does not improve the situation.

How is the communication going on from here since we have a bug here and upstream?

I'd instinctively only post here important updates and continue all further debugging over there.

Sure, that's fine. But see https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v6.4/admin-guide/reporting-issues.html. Bugzilla may not be the right place(!)

Well, since the bug is open, let's see.
Doing a web search for bug reporting comes up with *several* similar documents for kernel.org (even for the same version) and they obviously have the matching category for kernel bugs and it seems that this isn't actually my first report there. :D

Right now, I'm testing 6.4.0 + reverted commit and it does not crash yet.

My 6.4.0 frankenkernel seems to be running stable.

I'll add this to genpatches.  Keeping open until we do a release with this one included.

Thanks, Jason.
