Commit Message

Sumit Garg June 4, 2020, 12:09 p.m. UTC
With the recent feature added to enable perf events to use pseudo NMIs
as interrupts on platforms which support GICv3 or later, its now been
possible to enable hard lockup detector (or NMI watchdog) on arm64
platforms. So enable corresponding support.

One thing to note here is that normally lockup detector is initialized
just after the early initcalls but PMU on arm64 comes up much later as
device_initcall(). So we need to re-initialize lockup detection once
PMU has been initialized.

This patch is dependent on perf NMI patch-set [1].

[1] https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/11047407/

Changes since RFC:
- Rebased on top of Alex's WIP-pmu-nmi branch.
- Add comment for safe max. CPU frequency.
- Misc. cleanup.

That patch series is from last year. Any progress on it?

Is it ever negative? Odd that this API uses a signed integer.

I'd rather see the return unindented and the else dropped.

No it isn't expected to be negative.

this_cpu_ptr() sounds more apt here, will use it instead.

I have pushed the newest version of the patches to the same branch, not many
changes. I've tested it on the model, and everything works fine.

On all my boards, TFA clears SCR_EL3.FIQ, which Linux doesn't support, so right
now I'm searching for a board that I can use for testing.

Thanks,
Alex
