Subject: [PATCHv2 1/2] watchdog/softlockup: low-overhead detection of interrupt storm
Date: Tue, 30 Jan 2024 15:47:43 +0800
Message-Id: <20240130074744.45759-2-yaoma@linux.alibaba.com>

The following softlockup is caused by interrupt storm, but it cannot be
identified from the call tree. Because the call tree is just a snapshot
and doesn't fully capture the behavior of the CPU during the soft lockup.
  watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#28 stuck for 23s! [fio:83921]
  ...
  Call trace:
    __do_softirq+0xa0/0x37c
    __irq_exit_rcu+0x108/0x140
    irq_exit+0x14/0x20
    __handle_domain_irq+0x84/0xe0
    gic_handle_irq+0x80/0x108
    el0_irq_naked+0x50/0x58

Therefore，I think it is necessary to report CPU utilization during the
softlockup_thresh period (report once every sample_period, for a total
of 5 reportings), like this:
  watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#28 stuck for 23s! [fio:83921]
  CPU#28 Utilization every 4s during lockup:
    #1: 0% system, 0% softirq, 100% hardirq, 0% idle
    #2: 0% system, 0% softirq, 100% hardirq, 0% idle
    #3: 0% system, 0% softirq, 100% hardirq, 0% idle
    #4: 0% system, 0% softirq, 100% hardirq, 0% idle
    #5: 0% system, 0% softirq, 100% hardirq, 0% idle
  ...

This would be helpful in determining whether an interrupt storm has
occurred or in identifying the cause of the softlockup. The criteria for
determination are as follows:
  a. If the hardirq utilization is high, then interrupt storm should be
  considered and the root cause cannot be determined from the call tree.
  b. If the softirq utilization is high, then we could analyze the call
  tree but it may cannot reflect the root cause.
  c. If the system utilization is high, then we could analyze the root
  cause from the call tree.
