#1573742 — Regression on next-20170203 spi/for-next 3f87493930a0f qemu on x86_64

I could not boot next-20170203 on my x86_64 qemu instance. It stalls at:

[    0.015549] CPU: Physical Processor ID: 0
[    0.015842] mce: CPU supports 10 MCE banks

[    0.025755] ..TIMER: vector=0x30 apic1=0 pin1=2 apic2=-1 pin2=-1

This is no different than a functional boot, it just stalls. I see it
next-20170203 booted and worked on other qemu instances elsewhere
though so it seems something with my configuration and boot. I
bisected next-20170203 between its latest commit and v4.10-rc6 and
ended up with this bad commit:

104a519fe1732b4e503ebc7b4ac71b6f0b8a0b62

    Merge remote-tracking branch 'spi/for-next'

I have checked Next/SHA1s and it shows:

mcgrof@piggy ~/linux-next (git::original)$ grep spi Next/SHA1s
spi-nor        dc12bcccadafb5441170e6b7c8a438c91d4f385b

hwspinlock    bd5717a4632cdecafe82d03de7dcb3b1876e2828

The commit 3f87493930a0f934549b04e100ecc2110e4f1efd then seems to be
what I need to test. I have cloned Mark's spi tree and just tried to
boot the for-next branch (on v4.10-rc1) on
3f87493930a0f934549b04e100ecc2110e4f1efd, and it boots successfully.
This would lead me to believe this issue might be related to the merge
conflict resolution done by Stephen, but wanted to check and ask.
Perhaps there might be some specific tests I can run.

The qemu instance I am using:

/usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu kvm64 -enable-kvm -m 4096 -smp

OK, it is possible that the merge is actually incorrect.  I did *not*
do any manual resolution of that merge and git only reported an
automatic resolution in file drivers/spi/spi-bcm-qspi.c (which looks ok
from a quick glance).

It is always possible that there is some semantic conflict that git
won't see and didn;t also involve a syntactic conflict or a build
failure.  e.g. the internal semantics of a function changes on one side
of the merge but a new usage expecting the old semantics is introduced
on the other side.

Just to mention, there was no change to the spi tree between
next-20170202 and next-20170203.  I assume that next-20170202 is fine?
If so, you could try bisecting with next-20170202 as good and
104a519fe1732b4e503ebc7b4ac71b6f0b8a0b62 as bad.  I have no idea if
that sort of bisec will even work, though.

Or if commit 8cfb3801a57a (the merge of the spi tree in next-20170202)
is fine, then you could try using that as your starting good (that will
remove a lot of next-20170202).

That's a driver for Broadcom SoCs which is not going to run on x86 so...

There may be a possible problem or change in the timer code. For the most
part the "kvm64" cpu works for me, but I saw this once:

smpboot: Max logical packages: 1
..TIMER: vector=0x30 apic1=0 pin1=2 apic2=-1 pin2=-1
..MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC
...trying to set up timer (IRQ0) through the 8259A ...
..... (found apic 0 pin 2) ...
....... failed.
...trying to set up timer as Virtual Wire IRQ...
..... failed.
...trying to set up timer as ExtINT IRQ...
..... failed :(.
Kernel panic - not syncing: IO-APIC + timer doesn't work!  Boot with apic=debug and send a report.  Then try booting with the 'noapic' option.

The "normal" log with -next looks as follows:

smpboot: Max logical packages: 4
..TIMER: vector=0x30 apic1=0 pin1=2 apic2=-1 pin2=-1
..MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC
...trying to set up timer (IRQ0) through the 8259A ...
..... (found apic 0 pin 2) ...
....... failed.
...trying to set up timer as Virtual Wire IRQ...
..... failed.
...trying to set up timer as ExtINT IRQ...
..... works.

Upstream (v4.10-rc6-193-ga572a1b99948), the same command yields no error at all:

..TIMER: vector=0x30 apic1=0 pin1=2 apic2=-1 pin2=-1
smpboot: CPU0: Intel Common KVM processor (family: 0xf, model: 0x6, stepping: 0x1)

The "new" error message is also seen with other CPUs, not just with "kvm64".

I am using qemu 2.8.

Maybe we should try to figure out where the new error messages come from ?

Thanks,
Guenter

That's because you tested Linus' merge commit of the branch which fixed that :-)

IOW, the fix should be:

aaaec6fc7554 ("x86/irq: Make irq activate operations symmetric")

It is on its way to stable too, as we speak.

FWIW, I also tested v4.10-rc3, which didn't have the problem either.

Yes, it does. Let's hope that this fixes Luis' problem as well.

I've taken this patch and applied it on top of next-20170203
and confirm it fixes the regression. I've also tested next-20170206
which has the fix and confirm that boots as well.

Do we have any test units which can kick off regularly to test against such
type of regression in the future or is it not worth it?

Thanks Boris!

Yap, it is called: build new kernel and boot it the box :-)

I always try to build and boot all -rcs and tip/master on my boxes and I
do catch a couple of issues almost every week this way.
