[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [PATCH v5 3/3] xen: add support for automatic debug key actions in case of crash
When the host crashes it would sometimes be nice to have additional
debug data available which could be produced via debug keys, but
halting the server for manual intervention might be impossible due to
the need to reboot/kexec rather sooner than later.
Add support for automatic debug key actions in case of crashes which
can be activated via boot- or runtime-parameter.
Depending on the type of crash the desired data might be different, so
support different settings for the possible types of crashes.
The parameter is "crash-debug" with the following syntax:
crash-debug-<type>=<string>
with <type> being one of:
panic, hwdom, watchdog, kexeccmd, debugkey
and <string> a sequence of debug key characters with '+' having the
special semantics of a 10 millisecond pause.
So "crash-debug-watchdog=0+0qr" would result in special output in case
of watchdog triggered crash (dom0 state, 10 ms pause, dom0 state,
domain info, run queues).
Don't call key handlers in early boot, as some (e.g. for 'd') require
some initializations to be finished, like scheduler or idle domain.

V2:
- switched special character '.' to '+' (Jan Beulich)
- 10 ms instead of 1 s pause (Jan Beulich)
- added more text to the boot parameter description (Jan Beulich)
V3:
- added const (Jan Beulich)
- thorough test of crash reason parameter (Jan Beulich)
- kexeccmd case should depend on CONFIG_KEXEC (Jan Beulich)
- added dummy get_irq_regs() helper on Arm
V4:
- call keyhandlers with NULL for regs
- use ARRAY_SIZE() (Jan Beulich)
- don't activate handlers in early boot (Jan Beulich)
- avoid recursion
- extend documentation a bit
V5:
- move recursion check down a little bit (Jan Beulich)

+> Can be modified at runtime
+
+Specify debug-key actions in cases of crashes. Each of the parameters applies
+to a different crash reason. The `<string>` is a sequence of debug key
+characters, with `+` having the special meaning of a 10 millisecond pause.
+
+`crash-debug-debugkey` will be used for crashes induced by the `C` debug
+key (i.e. manually induced crash).
+
+`crash-debug-hwdom` denotes a crash of dom0.
+
+`crash-debug-kexeccmd` is an explicit request of dom0 to continue with the
+kdump kernel via kexec. Only available on hypervisors built with CONFIG_KEXEC.
+
+`crash-debug-panic` is a crash of the hypervisor.
+
+`crash-debug-watchdog` is a crash due to the watchdog timer expiring.
+
+It should be noted that dumping diagnosis data to the console can fail in
+multiple ways (missing data, hanging system, ...) depending on the reason
+of the crash, which might have left the hypervisor in a bad state. In case
+a debug-key action leads to another crash, recursion will be avoided, so no
+additional debug-key actions will be performed in this case. A crash in the
+early boot phase will not result in any debug-key action, as the system
+might not yet be in a state where the handlers can work.
+
+So e.g. `crash-debug-watchdog=0+0r` would dump dom0 state twice with 10
+milliseconds between the two state dumps, followed by the run queues of the
+hypervisor, if the system crashes due to a watchdog timeout.
