Petr Mladek cf9b1106c8 printk/nmi: flush NMI messages on the system panic
In NMI context, printk() messages are stored into per-CPU buffers to
avoid a possible deadlock.  They are normally flushed to the main ring
buffer via an IRQ work.  But the work is never called when the system
calls panic() in the very same NMI handler.

This patch tries to flush NMI buffers before the crash dump is
generated.  In this case it does not risk a double release and bails out
when the logbuf_lock is already taken.  The aim is to get the messages
into the main ring buffer when possible.  It makes them better
accessible in the vmcore.

Then the patch tries to flush the buffers second time when other CPUs
are down.  It might be more aggressive and reset logbuf_lock.  The aim
is to get the messages available for the consequent kmsg_dump() and
console_flush_on_panic() calls.

The patch causes vprintk_emit() to be called even in NMI context again.
But it is done via printk_deferred() so that the console handling is
skipped.  Consoles use internal locks and we could not prevent a
deadlock easily.  They are explicitly called later when the crash dump
is not generated, see console_flush_on_panic().

Petr Mladek 427934b871 printk/nmi: increase the size of NMI buffer and make it configurable
Testing has shown that the backtrace sometimes does not fit into the 4kB
temporary buffer that is used in NMI context.  The warnings are gone
when I double the temporary buffer size.

This patch doubles the buffer size and makes it configurable.

Note that this problem existed even in the x86-specific implementation
that was added by the commit a9edc88093 ("x86/nmi: Perform a safe NMI
stack trace on all CPUs").  Nobody noticed it because it did not print
any warnings.

Petr Mladek b522deabc6 printk/nmi: warn when some message has been lost in NMI context
We could not resize the temporary buffer in NMI context.  Let's warn if
a message is lost.

This is rather theoretical.  printk() should not be used in NMI.  The
only sensible use is when we want to print backtrace from all CPUs.  The
current buffer should be enough for this purpose.

Petr Mladek 42a0bb3f71 printk/nmi: generic solution for safe printk in NMI
printk() takes some locks and could not be used a safe way in NMI
context.

The chance of a deadlock is real especially when printing stacks from
all CPUs.  This particular problem has been addressed on x86 by the
commit a9edc88093 ("x86/nmi: Perform a safe NMI stack trace on all
CPUs").

The patchset brings two big advantages.  First, it makes the NMI
backtraces safe on all architectures for free.  Second, it makes all NMI
messages almost safe on all architectures (the temporary buffer is
limited.  We still should keep the number of messages in NMI context at
minimum).

Note that there already are several messages printed in NMI context:
WARN_ON(in_nmi()), BUG_ON(in_nmi()), anything being printed out from MCE
handlers.  These are not easy to avoid.

This patch reuses most of the code and makes it generic.  It is useful
for all messages and architectures that support NMI.

The alternative printk_func is set when entering and is reseted when
leaving NMI context.  It queues IRQ work to copy the messages into the
main ring buffer in a safe context.

__printk_nmi_flush() copies all available messages and reset the buffer.
Then we could use a simple cmpxchg operations to get synchronized with
writers.  There is also used a spinlock to get synchronized with other
flushers.

We do not longer use seq_buf because it depends on external lock.  It
would be hard to make all supported operations safe for a lockless use.
It would be confusing and error prone to make only some operations safe.

The code is put into separate printk/nmi.c as suggested by Steven
Rostedt.  It needs a per-CPU buffer and is compiled only on
architectures that call nmi_enter().  This is achieved by the new
HAVE_NMI Kconfig flag.

The are MN10300 and Xtensa architectures.  We need to clean up NMI
handling there first.  Let's do it separately.

The patch is heavily based on the draft from Peter Zijlstra, see

Sergey Senozhatsky 6b97a20d3a printk: set may_schedule for some of console_trylock() callers
console_unlock() allows to cond_resched() if its caller has set
`console_may_schedule' to 1, since 8d91f8b153 ("printk: do
cond_resched() between lines while outputting to consoles").

The rules are:
-- console_lock() always sets `console_may_schedule' to 1
-- console_trylock() always sets `console_may_schedule' to 0

However, console_trylock() callers (among them is printk()) do not
always call printk() from atomic contexts, and some of them can
cond_resched() in console_unlock(), so console_trylock() can set
`console_may_schedule' to 1 for such processes.

For !CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT kernels, however, console_trylock() always
sets `console_may_schedule' to 0.

It's possible to drop explicit preempt_disable()/preempt_enable() in
vprintk_emit(), because console_unlock() and console_trylock() are now
smart enough:
 a) console_unlock() does not cond_resched() when it's unsafe
    (console_trylock() takes care of that)
 b) console_unlock() does can_use_console() check.

Sergey Senozhatsky a8199371af printk: move can_use_console() out of console_trylock_for_printk()
console_unlock() allows to cond_resched() if its caller has set
`console_may_schedule' to 1 (this functionality is present since
8d91f8b153 ("printk: do cond_resched() between lines while outputting
to consoles").

The rules are:
-- console_lock() always sets `console_may_schedule' to 1
-- console_trylock() always sets `console_may_schedule' to 0

printk() calls console_unlock() with preemption desabled, which
basically can lead to RCU stalls, watchdog soft lockups, etc.  if
something is simultaneously calling printk() frequent enough (IOW,
console_sem owner always has new data to send to console divers and
can't leave console_unlock() for a long time).

printk()->console_trylock() callers do not necessarily execute in atomic
contexts, and some of them can cond_resched() in console_unlock().
console_trylock() can set `console_may_schedule' to 1 (allow
cond_resched() later in consoe_unlock()) when it's safe.

This patch (of 3):

vprintk_emit() disables preemption around console_trylock_for_printk()
and console_unlock() calls for a strong reason -- can_use_console()
check.  The thing is that vprintl_emit() can be called on a CPU that is
not fully brought up yet (!cpu_online()), which potentially can cause
problems if console driver wants to access per-cpu data.  A console
driver can explicitly state that it's safe to call it from !online cpu
by setting CON_ANYTIME bit in console ->flags.  That's why for
!cpu_online() can_use_console() iterates all the console to find out if
there is a CON_ANYTIME console, otherwise console_unlock() must be
avoided.

can_use_console() ensures that console_unlock() call is safe in
vprintk_emit() only; console_lock() and console_trylock() are not
covered by this check.  Even though call_console_drivers(), invoked from
console_cont_flush() and console_unlock(), tests `!cpu_online() &&
CON_ANYTIME' for_each_console(), it may be too late, which can result in
messages loss.

Assume that we have 2 cpus -- CPU0 is online, CPU1 is !online, and no
CON_ANYTIME consoles available.

CPU0 online                        CPU1 !online

                                   }

console_trylock()/console_lock() call on CPU1 may come from cpu
notifiers registered on that CPU.  Since notifiers are not getting
unregistered when CPU is going DOWN, all of the notifiers receive
notifications during CPU UP.  For example, on my x86_64, I see around 50
notification sent from offline CPU to itself

 [swapper/2] from cpu:2 to:2 action:CPU_STARTING hotplug_hrtick
 [swapper/2] from cpu:2 to:2 action:CPU_STARTING blk_mq_main_cpu_notify
 [swapper/2] from cpu:2 to:2 action:CPU_STARTING blk_mq_queue_reinit_notify
 [swapper/2] from cpu:2 to:2 action:CPU_STARTING console_cpu_notify

while doing
  echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online
  echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online

So grabbing the console_sem lock while CPU is !online is possible,
in theory.

This patch moves can_use_console() check out of
console_trylock_for_printk().  Instead it calls it in console_unlock(),
so now console_lock()/console_unlock() are also 'protected' by
can_use_console().  This also means that console_trylock_for_printk() is
not really needed anymore and can be removed.

Tejun Heo 8d91f8b153 printk: do cond_resched() between lines while outputting to consoles
@console_may_schedule tracks whether console_sem was acquired through
lock or trylock.  If the former, we're inside a sleepable context and
console_conditional_schedule() performs cond_resched().  This allows
console drivers which use console_lock for synchronization to yield
while performing time-consuming operations such as scrolling.

However, the actual console outputting is performed while holding
irq-safe logbuf_lock, so console_unlock() clears @console_may_schedule
before starting outputting lines.  Also, only a few drivers call
console_conditional_schedule() to begin with.  This means that when a
lot of lines need to be output by console_unlock(), for example on a
console registration, the task doing console_unlock() may not yield for
a long time on a non-preemptible kernel.

If this happens with a slow console devices, for example a serial
console, the outputting task may occupy the cpu for a very long time.
Long enough to trigger softlockup and/or RCU stall warnings, which in
turn pile more messages, sometimes enough to trigger the next cycle of
warnings incapacitating the system.

Fix it by making console_unlock() insert cond_resched() between lines if
@console_may_schedule.

Thierry Reding 81cc26f2bd printk: only unregister boot consoles when necessary
Boot consoles are typically replaced by proper consoles during the boot
process.  This can be problematic if the boot console data is part of
the init section that is reclaimed late during boot.  If the proper
console does not register before this point in time, the boot console
will need to be removed (so that the freed memory is not accessed),
leaving the system without output for some time.

There are various reasons why the proper console may not register early
enough, such as deferred probe or the driver being a loadable module.
If that happens, there is some amount of time where no console messages
are visible to the user, which in turn can mean that they won't see
crashes or other potentially useful information.

To avoid this situation, only remove the boot console when it resides in
the init section.  Code exists to replace the boot console by the proper
console when it is registered, keeping a seamless transition between the
boot and proper consoles.

Mathias Krause 3824657c52 printk: prevent userland from spoofing kernel messages
The following statement of ABI/testing/dev-kmsg is not quite right:

   It is not possible to inject messages from userspace with the
   facility number LOG_KERN (0), to make sure that the origin of the
   messages can always be reliably determined.

Userland actually can inject messages with a facility of 0 by abusing the
fact that the facility is stored in a u8 data type.  By using a facility
which is a multiple of 256 the assignment of msg->facility in log_store()
implicitly truncates it to 0, i.e.  LOG_KERN, allowing users of /dev/kmsg
to spoof kernel messages as shown below:

The following call...
   # printf '<%d>Kernel panic - not syncing: beer empty\n' 0 >/dev/kmsg
...leads to the following log entry (dmesg -x | tail -n 1):
   user  :emerg : [   66.137758] Kernel panic - not syncing: beer empty

However, this call...
   # printf '<%d>Kernel panic - not syncing: beer empty\n' 0x800 >/dev/kmsg
...leads to the slightly different log entry (note the kernel facility):
   kern  :emerg : [   74.177343] Kernel panic - not syncing: beer empty

Fix that by limiting the user provided facility to 8 bit right from the
beginning and catch the truncation early.

Geliang Tang ee1d267423 pstore: add pstore unregister
pstore doesn't support unregistering yet. It was marked as TODO.
This patch adds some code to fix it:
 1) Add functions to unregister kmsg/console/ftrace/pmsg.
 2) Add a function to free compression buffer.
 3) Unmap the memory and free it.
 4) Add a function to unregister pstore filesystem.

Dave Young 2965faa5e0 kexec: split kexec_load syscall from kexec core code
There are two kexec load syscalls, kexec_load another and kexec_file_load.
 kexec_file_load has been splited as kernel/kexec_file.c.  In this patch I
split kexec_load syscall code to kernel/kexec.c.

And add a new kconfig option KEXEC_CORE, so we can disable kexec_load and
use kexec_file_load only, or vice verse.

The original requirement is from Ted Ts'o, he want kexec kernel signature
being checked with CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG enabled.  But kexec-tools use
kexec_load syscall can bypass the checking.

Vivek Goyal proposed to create a common kconfig option so user can compile
in only one syscall for loading kexec kernel.  KEXEC/KEXEC_FILE selects
KEXEC_CORE so that old config files still work.

Because there's general code need CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, so I updated all the
architecture Kconfig with a new option KEXEC_CORE, and let KEXEC selects
KEXEC_CORE in arch Kconfig.  Also updated general kernel code with to
kexec_load syscall.

Patch fixes drawbacks in heck_syslog_permissions() noticed by AKPM:
"from_file handling makes me cry.

That's not a boolean - it's an enumerated value with two values
currently defined.

But the code in check_syslog_permissions() treats it as a boolean and
also hardwires the knowledge that SYSLOG_FROM_PROC == 1 (or == `true`).

And the name is wrong: it should be called from_proc to match
SYSLOG_FROM_PROC."

Vasily Averin d194e5d666 security_syslog() should be called once only
The final version of commit 637241a900 ("kmsg: honor dmesg_restrict
sysctl on /dev/kmsg") lost few hooks, as result security_syslog() are
processed incorrectly:

- open of /dev/kmsg checks syslog access permissions by using
  check_syslog_permissions() where security_syslog() is not called if
  dmesg_restrict is set.

- syslog syscall and /proc/kmsg calls do_syslog() where security_syslog
  can be executed twice (inside check_syslog_permissions() and then
  directly in do_syslog())

With this patch security_syslog() is called once only in all
syslog-related operations regardless of dmesg_restrict value.

Tejun Heo 6fe29354be printk: implement support for extended console drivers
printk log_buf keeps various metadata for each message including its
sequence number and timestamp.  The metadata is currently available only
through /dev/kmsg and stripped out before passed onto console drivers.  We
want this metadata to be available to console drivers too so that console
consumers can get full information including the metadata and dictionary,
which among other things can be used to detect whether messages got lost
in transit.

This patch implements support for extended console drivers.  Consoles can
indicate that they want extended messages by setting the new CON_EXTENDED
flag and they'll be fed messages formatted the same way as /dev/kmsg.

 "<level>,<sequnum>,<timestamp>,<contflag>;<message text>\n"

If extended consoles exist, in-kernel fragment assembly is disabled.  This
ensures that all messages emitted to consoles have full metadata including
sequence number.  The contflag carries enough information to reassemble
the fragments from the reader side trivially.  Note that this only affects
/dev/kmsg.  Regular console and /proc/kmsg outputs are not affected by
this change.

* Extended message formatting for console drivers is enabled iff there
  are registered extended consoles.

* Comment describing /dev/kmsg message format updated to add missing
  contflag field and help distinguishing variable from verbatim terms.

Tejun Heo d43ff430f4 printk: guard the amount written per line by devkmsg_read()
This patchset updates netconsole so that it can emit messages with the
same header as used in /dev/kmsg which gives neconsole receiver full log
information which enables things like structured logging and detection
of lost messages.

This patch (of 7):

devkmsg_read() uses 8k buffer and assumes that the formatted output
message won't overrun which seems safe given LOG_LINE_MAX, the current use
of dict and the escaping method being used; however, we're planning to use
devkmsg formatting wider and accounting for the buffer size properly isn't
that complicated.

This patch defines CONSOLE_EXT_LOG_MAX as 8192 and updates devkmsg_read()
so that it limits output accordingly.

Add match() method to struct console which allows the console to
perform console command line matching instead of (or in addition to)
default console matching (ie., by fixed name and index).

The match() method returns 0 to indicate a successful match; normal
console matching occurs if no match() method is defined or the
match() method returns non-zero. The match() method is expected to set
the console index if required.

Daniel Thompson f7d4ca8bbf kdb: Avoid printing KERN_ levels to consoles
Currently when kdb traps printk messages then the raw log level prefix
(consisting of '\001' followed by a numeral) does not get stripped off
before the message is issued to the various I/O handlers supported by
kdb. This causes annoying visual noise as well as causing problems
grepping for ^. It is also a change of behaviour compared to normal usage
of printk() usage. For example <SysRq>-h ends up with different output to
that of kdb's "sr h".

This patch addresses the problem by stripping log levels from messages
before they are issued to the I/O handlers. printk() which can also
act as an i/o handler in some cases is special cased; if the caller
provided a log level then the prefix will be preserved when sent to
printk().

The addition of non-printable characters to the output of kdb commands is a
regression, albeit and extremely elderly one, introduced by commit
04d2c8c83d ("printk: convert the format for KERN_<LEVEL> to a 2 byte
pattern"). Note also that this patch does *not* restore the original
behaviour from v3.5. Instead it makes printk() from within a kdb command
display the message without any prefix (i.e. like printk() normally does).

Linus Torvalds 8f4385d590 This code is a fork from the trace-3.19 pull as it needed the trace_seq
clean ups from that branch.
 
 This code solves the issue of performing stack dumps from NMI context.
 The issue is that printk() is not safe from NMI context as if the NMI
 were to trigger when a printk() was being performed, the NMI could
 deadlock from the printk() internal locks. This has been seen in practice.
 
 With lots of review from Petr Mladek, this code went through several
 iterations, and we feel that it is now at a point of quality to be
 accepted into mainline.
 
 Here's what is contained in this patch set:
 
  o Creates a "seq_buf" generic buffer utility that allows a descriptor
    to be passed around where functions can write their own "printk()"
    formatted strings into it. The generic version was pulled out of
    the trace_seq() code that was made specifically for tracing.
 
  o The seq_buf code was change to model the seq_file code. I have
    a patch (not included for 3.19) that converts the seq_file.c code
    over to use seq_buf.c like the trace_seq.c code does. This was done
    to make sure that seq_buf.c is compatible with seq_file.c. I may
    try to get that patch in for 3.20.
 
  o The seq_buf.c file was moved to lib/ to remove it from being dependent
    on CONFIG_TRACING.
 
  o The printk() was updated to allow for a per_cpu "override" of
    the internal calls. That is, instead of writing to the console, a call
    to printk() may do something else. This made it easier to allow the
    NMI to change what printk() does in order to call dump_stack() without
    needing to update that code as well.
 
  o Finally, the dump_stack from all CPUs via NMI code was converted to
    use the seq_buf code. The caller to trigger the NMI code would wait
    till all the NMIs finished, and then it would print the seq_buf
    data to the console safely from a non NMI context.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 1fb8915b98 printk: Do not disable preemption for accessing printk_func
As printk_func will either be the default function, or a per_cpu function
for the current CPU, there's no reason to disable preemption to access
it from printk. That's because if the printk_func is not the default
then the caller had better disabled preemption as they were the one to
change it.

Merge tag 'trace-seq-buf-3.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace

Pull nmi-safe seq_buf printk update from Steven Rostedt:
 "This code is a fork from the trace-3.19 pull as it needed the
  trace_seq clean ups from that branch.

  This code solves the issue of performing stack dumps from NMI context.
  The issue is that printk() is not safe from NMI context as if the NMI
  were to trigger when a printk() was being performed, the NMI could
  deadlock from the printk() internal locks.  This has been seen in
  practice.

  With lots of review from Petr Mladek, this code went through several
  iterations, and we feel that it is now at a point of quality to be
  accepted into mainline.

  Here's what is contained in this patch set:

   - Creates a "seq_buf" generic buffer utility that allows a descriptor
     to be passed around where functions can write their own "printk()"
     formatted strings into it.  The generic version was pulled out of
     the trace_seq() code that was made specifically for tracing.

   - The seq_buf code was change to model the seq_file code.  I have a
     patch (not included for 3.19) that converts the seq_file.c code
     over to use seq_buf.c like the trace_seq.c code does.  This was
     done to make sure that seq_buf.c is compatible with seq_file.c.  I
     may try to get that patch in for 3.20.

   - The seq_buf.c file was moved to lib/ to remove it from being
     dependent on CONFIG_TRACING.

   - The printk() was updated to allow for a per_cpu "override" of the
     internal calls.  That is, instead of writing to the console, a call
     to printk() may do something else.  This made it easier to allow
     the NMI to change what printk() does in order to call dump_stack()
     without needing to update that code as well.

   - Finally, the dump_stack from all CPUs via NMI code was converted to
     use the seq_buf code.  The caller to trigger the NMI code would
     wait till all the NMIs finished, and then it would print the
     seq_buf data to the console safely from a non NMI context

  One added bonus is that this code also makes the NMI dump stack work
  on PREEMPT_RT kernels.  As printk() includes sleeping locks on
  PREEMPT_RT, printk() only writes to console if the console does not
  use any rt_mutex converted spin locks.  Which a lot do"

Alex Elder f099755d4c printk: drop logbuf_cpu volatile qualifier
Pranith Kumar posted a patch in which removed the "volatile"
qualifier for the "logbuf_cpu" variable in vprintk_emit().
    https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/11/13/894
In his patch, he used ACCESS_ONCE() for all references to
that symbol to provide whatever protection was intended.

There was some discussion that followed, and in the end Steven Rostedt
concluded that not only was "volatile" not needed, neither was it
required to use ACCESS_ONCE().  I offered an elaborate description that
concluded Steven was right, and Pranith asked me to submit an
alternative patch.  And this is it.

The basic reason "volatile" is not needed is that "logbuf_cpu" has
static storage duration, and vprintk_emit() is an exported
interface.  This means that the value of logbuf_cpu must be read
from memory the first time it is used in a particular call of
vprintk_emit().  The variable's value is read only once in that
function, when it's read it'll be the copy from memory (or cache).

In addition, the value of "logbuf_cpu" is only ever written under
protection of a spinlock.  So the value that is read is the "real"
value (and not an out-of-date cached one).  If its value is not
UINT_MAX, it is the current CPU's processor id, and it will have
been last written by the running CPU.

Joe Perches 1dc6244bd6 printk: remove used-once early_vprintk
Eliminate the unlikely possibility of message interleaving for
early_printk/early_vprintk use.

early_vprintk can be done via the %pV extension so remove this
unnecessary function and change early_printk to have the equivalent
vprintk code.

All uses of early_printk already end with a newline so also remove the
unnecessary newline from the early_printk function.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 04b74b27c2 printk/percpu: Define printk_func when printk is not defined
To avoid include hell, the per_cpu variable printk_func was declared
in percpu.h. But it is only defined if printk is defined.

As users of printk may also use the printk_func variable, it needs to
be defined even if CONFIG_PRINTK is not.

Also add a printk.h include in percpu.h just to be safe.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) afdc34a3d3 printk: Add per_cpu printk func to allow printk to be diverted
Being able to divert printk to call another function besides the normal
logging is useful for such things like NMI handling. If some functions
are to be called from NMI that does printk() it is possible to lock up
the box if the nmi handler triggers when another printk is happening.

One example of this use is to perform a stack trace on all CPUs via NMI.
But if the NMI is to do the printk() it can cause the system to lock up.
By allowing the printk to be diverted to another function that can safely
record the printk output and then print it when it in a safe context
then NMIs will be safe to call these functions like show_regs().

CAP_SYSLOG should be able to access crash dumps (like: attacker is
trying to exploit a bug, watchdog reboots, attacker can happily read

This puts the restriction on console-* types as well as sensitive

Other log types are unaffected.

Linus Torvalds 0429fbc0bd Merge branch 'for-3.18-consistent-ops' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu
Pull percpu consistent-ops changes from Tejun Heo:
 "Way back, before the current percpu allocator was implemented, static
  and dynamic percpu memory areas were allocated and handled separately
  and had their own accessors.  The distinction has been gone for many
  years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained
  with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other
  operations over time.  During the process, we also accumulated other
  inconsistent operations.

  This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the
  duplicate accessor situation.  __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with
  with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr().

  Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit
  messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to
  a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of
  this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr().

  This converts most of the uses but not all.  Christoph will follow up
  with the remaining conversions in this merge window and hopefully
  remove the obsolete accessors"

Markus Trippelsdorf 98e35f5894 printk: git rid of [sched_delayed] message for printk_deferred
Commit 458df9fd48 ("printk: remove separate printk_sched buffers and use
printk buf instead") hardcodes printk_deferred() to KERN_WARNING and
inserts the string "[sched_delayed] " before the actual message.  However
it doesn't take into account the KERN_* prefix of the message, that now
ends up in the middle of the output:

 [sched_delayed] ^a4CE: hpet increased min_delta_ns to 20115 nsec

Fix this by just getting rid of the "[sched_delayed] " scnprintf().  The
prefix is useless since 458df9fd48 anyway since from that moment
printk_deferred() inserts the message into the kernel printk buffer
immediately.  So if the message eventually gets printed to console, it is
printed in the correct order with other messages and there's no need for
any special prefix.  And if the kernel crashes before the message makes it
to console, then prefix in the printk buffer doesn't make the situation
any better.

Patrick Palka 000a7d66ec kernel/printk/printk.c: fix faulty logic in the case of recursive printk
We shouldn't set text_len in the code path that detects printk recursion
because text_len corresponds to the length of the string inside textbuf.
A few lines down from the line

    text_len = strlen(recursion_msg);

is the line

    text_len += vscnprintf(text + text_len, ...);

So if printk detects recursion, it sets text_len to 29 (the length of
recursion_msg) and logs an error.  Then the message supplied by the
caller of printk is stored inside textbuf but offset by 29 bytes.  This
means that the output of the recursive call to printk will contain 29
bytes of garbage in front of it.

This defect is caused by commit 458df9fd48 ("printk: remove separate
printk_sched buffers and use printk buf instead") which turned the line

    text_len = vscnprintf(text, ...);

into

    text_len += vscnprintf(text + text_len, ...);

To fix this, this patch avoids setting text_len when logging the printk
recursion error.  This patch also marks unlikely() the branch leading up
to this code.
