If some of the HARTs are parked by stop machine then IPI-based
flushing in flush_icache_all() will hang. This hang is observed
when text patching is invoked by various debug and BPF features.

To avoid this hang, we force use of SBI-based icache flushing
when patching text.

Fixes: 627922843235 ("RISC-V: Use IPIs for remote icache flush when possible")

Since patch_text_cb() is run on all cpus, couldn't we completely avoid 
any remote icache flush by slightly changing patch_text_cb() instead as 
follows?

Unfortunately patch_text_cb() is not the only user of patch_text_nosync
since patch_text_nosync() and patch_text_set_nosync() are called directly
from other places as well.

We have to update all users of patch_text_nosync() and
patch_text_set_nosync() to move to local icache flushes which
is a much bigger change.

Anup

Yeah. There is one more stop_machine() text patching user, and that's
ftrace. ftrace is using stop_machine() with the last argument set to
NULL, so only patching on *any* hart. Continuing on Alex' idea would be
to place an IPI flush in ftrace_arch_code_modify_post_process(),
unfortately that's too late since we're already moved on from
stop_machine().

Only the ftrace stop_machine() user, right? Alex solution is sufficient
for patch_text(). I'm not a super fan of conditionally calling into SBI
and passing around boolean context flags as a workaround... :-( Any
other alternatives?

The obvious fixing text patching not to be completly useless on RISC-V,
but that's an even bigger patch...

I was seeing hang because of patch_text_nosync() getting called from
the BPF path in my debug sessions.

I am certainly not a fan of the approach taken by this patch but this is
the smallest amount of change I could come-up as FIXUP. We should
certainly have a separate patch to do this in a proper way.

I agree.

Yeah, and this is ftrace's stop_machine() path. All ftrace() paths,
and all kprobe paths (patch_text) will have this hang with the IMSIC
series unless the fixup is done. :-(

Yup (and thanks for working on it BTW!). Hmm, making it possible for
Charlie's work [1] to attach to cpu_stopper? But maybe that's more
work...

Unless anyone can comeup with a cleaner (non-SBI), working solution, I'd
say go for this one...

After discussion with Bjorn, we think the solution would be to 
reimplement arch_ftrace_update_code() with stop_machine(..., 
cpu_online_mask) and use the same barrier as the one in patch_text_cb() 
(csky does just that 
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/arch/csky/kernel/ftrace.c#L224). 
And then we can apply the same solution as I first proposed: no more 
remote icache flushes, only local ones.

What do you think Anup? I can come up with this patch if you want.

Sounds good to me. You will need a special .config from Bjorn to test
your patch.
