lkdtm/bugs: add test for panic() with stuck secondary CPUs
Upon a panic() the kernel will use either smp_send_stop() or crash_smp_send_stop() to attempt to stop secondary CPUs via an IPI, which may or may not be an NMI. Generally it's preferable that this is an NMI so that CPUs can be stopped in as many situations as possible, but it's not always possible to provide an NMI, and there are cases where CPUs may be unable to handle the NMI regardless. This patch adds a test for panic() where all other CPUs are stuck with interrupts disabled, which can be used to check whether the kernel gracefully handles CPUs failing to respond to a stop, and whether NMIs actually work to stop CPUs. For example, on arm64 *without* an NMI, this results in: | # echo PANIC_STOP_IRQOFF > /sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/DIRECT | lkdtm: Performing direct entry PANIC_STOP_IRQOFF | Kernel panic - not syncing: panic stop irqoff test | CPU: 2 PID: 24 Comm: migration/2 Not tainted 6.5.0-rc3-00077-ge6c782389895-dirty #4 | Hardware name: QEMU QEMU Virtual Machine, BIOS 0.0.0 02/06/2015 | Stopper: multi_cpu_stop+0x0/0x1a0 <- stop_machine_cpuslocked+0x158/0x1a4 | Call trace: | dump_backtrace+0x94/0xec | show_stack+0x18/0x24 | dump_stack_lvl+0x74/0xc0 | dump_stack+0x18/0x24 | panic+0x358/0x3e8 | lkdtm_PANIC+0x0/0x18 | multi_cpu_stop+0x9c/0x1a0 | cpu_stopper_thread+0x84/0x118 | smpboot_thread_fn+0x224/0x248 | kthread+0x114/0x118 | ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20 | SMP: stopping secondary CPUs | SMP: failed to stop secondary CPUs 0-3 | Kernel Offset: 0x401cf3490000 from 0xffff80008000000c0 | PHYS_OFFSET: 0x40000000 | CPU features: 0x00000000,68c167a1,cce6773f | Memory Limit: none | ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: panic stop irqoff test ]--- Note the "failed to stop secondary CPUs 0-3" message.
