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.

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.

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().

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"

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.

Jan Kara 5874af2003 printk: enable interrupts before calling console_trylock_for_printk()
We need interrupts disabled when calling console_trylock_for_printk()
only so that cpu id we pass to can_use_console() remains valid (for
other things console_sem provides all the exclusion we need and
deadlocks on console_sem due to interrupts are impossible because we use
down_trylock()).  However if we are rescheduled, we are guaranteed to
run on an online cpu so we can easily just get the cpu id in
can_use_console().

We can lose a bit of performance when we enable interrupts in
vprintk_emit() and then disable them again in console_unlock() but OTOH
it can somewhat reduce interrupt latency caused by console_unlock().

We differ from (reverted) commit 939f04bec1 in that we avoid calling
console_unlock() from vprintk_emit() with lockdep enabled as that has
unveiled quite some bugs leading to system freezes during boot (e.g.
  https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/30/242,
  https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/6/28/521).

  - When CONFIG_PRINTK is defined, parenthesize the value of LOG_LINE_MAX.
  - When CONFIG_PRINTK is *not* defined, there is an extra LOG_LINE_MAX
    definition; delete it.
  - Pull an assignment out of a conditional expression in console_setup().
  - Use isdigit() in console_setup() rather than open coding it.
  - In update_console_cmdline(), drop a NUL-termination assignment;
    the strlcpy() call that precedes it guarantees it's not needed.
  - Simplify some logic in printk_timed_ratelimit().

Alex Elder e97e1267e9 printk: tweak do_syslog() to match comments
In do_syslog() there's a path used by kmsg_poll() and kmsg_read() that
only needs to know whether there's any data available to read (and not
its size).  These callers only check for non-zero return.  As a
shortcut, do_syslog() returns the difference between what has been
logged and what has been "seen."

The comments say that the "count of records" should be returned but it's
not.  Instead it returns (log_next_idx - syslog_idx), which is a
difference between buffer offsets--and the result could be negative.

The behavior is the same (it'll be zero or not in the same cases), but
the count of records is more meaningful and it matches what the comments
say.  So change the code to return that.

Luis R. Rodriguez 23b2899f7f printk: allow increasing the ring buffer depending on the number of CPUs
The default size of the ring buffer is too small for machines with a
large amount of CPUs under heavy load.  What ends up happening when
debugging is the ring buffer overlaps and chews up old messages making
debugging impossible unless the size is passed as a kernel parameter.
An idle system upon boot up will on average spew out only about one or
two extra lines but where this really matters is on heavy load and that
will vary widely depending on the system and environment.

There are mechanisms to help increase the kernel ring buffer for tracing
through debugfs, and those interfaces even allow growing the kernel ring
buffer per CPU.  We also have a static value which can be passed upon
boot.  Relying on debugfs however is not ideal for production, and
relying on the value passed upon bootup is can only used *after* an
issue has creeped up.  Instead of being reactive this adds a proactive
measure which lets you scale the amount of contributions you'd expect to
the kernel ring buffer under load by each CPU in the worst case
scenario.

We use num_possible_cpus() to avoid complexities which could be
introduced by dynamically changing the ring buffer size at run time,
num_possible_cpus() lets us use the upper limit on possible number of
CPUs therefore avoiding having to deal with hotplugging CPUs on and off.
This introduces the kernel configuration option LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT
which is used to specify the maximum amount of contributions to the
kernel ring buffer in the worst case before the kernel ring buffer flips
over, the size is specified as a power of 2.  The total amount of
contributions made by each CPU must be greater than half of the default
kernel ring buffer size (1 << LOG_BUF_SHIFT bytes) in order to trigger
an increase upon bootup.  The kernel ring buffer is increased to the
next power of two that would fit the required minimum kernel ring buffer
size plus the additional CPU contribution.  For example if LOG_BUF_SHIFT
is 18 (256 KB) you'd require at least 128 KB contributions by other CPUs
in order to trigger an increase of the kernel ring buffer.  With a
LOG_CPU_BUF_SHIFT of 12 (4 KB) you'd require at least anything over > 64
possible CPUs to trigger an increase.  If you had 128 possible CPUs the
amount of minimum required kernel ring buffer bumps to:

   ((1 << 18) + ((128 - 1) * (1 << 12))) / 1024 = 764 KB

Since we require the ring buffer to be a power of two the new required
size would be 1024 KB.

This CPU contributions are ignored when the "log_buf_len" kernel
parameter is used as it forces the exact size of the ring buffer to an
expected power of two value.

Luis R. Rodriguez c0a318a361 printk: move power of 2 practice of ring buffer size to a helper
In practice the power of 2 practice of the size of the kernel ring
buffer remains purely historical but not a requirement, specially now
that we have LOG_ALIGN and use it for both static and dynamic
allocations.  It could have helped with implicit alignment back in the
days given the even the dynamically sized ring buffer was guaranteed to
be aligned so long as CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT was set to produce a
__LOG_BUF_LEN which is architecture aligned, since log_buf_len=n would
be allowed only if it was > __LOG_BUF_LEN and we always ended up
rounding the log_buf_len=n to the next power of 2 with
roundup_pow_of_two(), any multiple of 2 then should be also architecture
aligned.  These assumptions of course relied heavily on
CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT producing an aligned value but users can always
change this.

We now have precise alignment requirements set for the log buffer size
for both static and dynamic allocations, but lets upkeep the old
practice of using powers of 2 for its size to help with easy expected
scalable values and the allocators for dynamic allocations.  We'll reuse
this later so move this into a helper.

Luis R. Rodriguez 7030017752 printk: make dynamic kernel ring buffer alignment explicit
We have to consider alignment for the ring buffer both for the default
static size, and then also for when an dynamic allocation is made when
the log_buf_len=n kernel parameter is passed to set the size
specifically to a size larger than the default size set by the
architecture through CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT.

The default static kernel ring buffer can be aligned properly if
architectures set CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT properly, we provide ranges for
the size though so even if CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT has a sensible aligned
value it can be reduced to a non aligned value.  Commit 6ebb017de9
("printk: Fix alignment of buf causing crash on ARM EABI") by Andrew
Lunn ensures the static buffer is always aligned and the decision of
alignment is done by the compiler by using __alignof__(struct log).

When log_buf_len=n is used we allocate the ring buffer dynamically.
Dynamic allocation varies, for the early allocation called before
setup_arch() memblock_virt_alloc() requests a page aligment and for the
default kernel allocation memblock_virt_alloc_nopanic() requests no
special alignment, which in turn ends up aligning the allocation to
SMP_CACHE_BYTES, which is L1 cache aligned.

Since we already have the required alignment for the kernel ring buffer
though we can do better and request explicit alignment for LOG_ALIGN.
This does that to be safe and make dynamic allocation alignment
explicit.

This patch hijacks the first valid log message after detecting that we

Steven Rostedt 458df9fd48 printk: remove separate printk_sched buffers and use printk buf instead
To prevent deadlocks with doing a printk inside the scheduler,
printk_sched() was created.  The issue is that printk has a console_sem
that it can grab and release.  The release does a wake up if there's a
task pending on the sem, and this wake up grabs the rq locks that is
held in the scheduler.  This leads to a possible deadlock if the wake up
uses the same rq as the one with the rq lock held already.

What printk_sched() does is to save the printk write in a per cpu buffer
and sets the PRINTK_PENDING_SCHED flag.  On a timer tick, if this flag is
set, the printk() is done against the buffer.

There's a couple of issues with this approach.

1) If two printk_sched()s are called before the tick, the second one
   will overwrite the first one.

2) The temporary buffer is 512 bytes and is per cpu.  This is a quite a
   bit of space wasted for something that is seldom used.

In order to remove this, the printk_sched() can use the printk buffer
instead, and delay the console_trylock()/console_unlock() to the queued
work.

Because printk_sched() would then be taking the logbuf_lock, the
logbuf_lock must not be held while doing anything that may call into the
scheduler functions, which includes wake ups.  Unfortunately, printk()
also has a console_sem that it uses, and on release, the up(&console_sem)
may do a wake up of any pending waiters.  This must be avoided while

Jan Kara 939f04bec1 printk: enable interrupts before calling console_trylock_for_printk()
We need interrupts disabled when calling console_trylock_for_printk()
only so that cpu id we pass to can_use_console() remains valid (for
other things console_sem provides all the exclusion we need and
deadlocks on console_sem due to interrupts are impossible because we use
down_trylock()).  However if we are rescheduled, we are guaranteed to
run on an online cpu so we can easily just get the cpu id in
can_use_console().

We can lose a bit of performance when we enable interrupts in
vprintk_emit() and then disable them again in console_unlock() but OTOH
it can somewhat reduce interrupt latency caused by console_unlock()
especially since later in the patch series we will want to spin on
console_sem in console_trylock_for_printk().

Jan Kara bd8d7cf5b8 printk: fix lockdep instrumentation of console_sem
Printk calls mutex_acquire() / mutex_release() by hand to instrument
lockdep about console_sem.  However in some corner cases the
instrumentation is missing.  Fix the problem by creating helper functions
for locking / unlocking console_sem which take care of lockdep
instrumentation as well.

Jan Kara 608873cacb printk: release lockbuf_lock before calling console_trylock_for_printk()
There's no reason to hold lockbuf_lock when entering
console_trylock_for_printk().

The first thing this function does is to call down_trylock(console_sem)
and if that fails it immediately unlocks lockbuf_lock.  So lockbuf_lock
isn't needed for that branch.  When down_trylock() succeeds, the rest of
console_trylock() is OK without lockbuf_lock (it is called without it
from other places), and the only remaining thing in
console_trylock_for_printk() is can_use_console() call.  For that call
console_sem is enough (it iterates all consoles and checks CON_ANYTIME
flag).

So we drop logbuf_lock before entering console_trylock_for_printk() which
simplifies the code.

Jan Kara ca1d432ad8 printk: remove outdated comment
Comment about interesting interlocking between lockbuf_lock and
console_sem is outdated.

It was added in 2002 by commit a880f45a48be during conversion of
console_lock to console_sem + lockbuf_lock.

At that time release_console_sem() (today's equivalent is
console_unlock()) was indeed using lockbuf_lock to avoid races between
trylock on console_sem in printk() and unlock of console_sem.  However
these days the interlocking is gone and the races are avoided by
rechecking logbuf state after releasing console_sem.

Petr Mladek 034633ccb2 printk: return really stored message length
I wonder if anyone uses printk return value but it is there and should be
counted correctly.

This patch modifies log_store() to return the number of really stored
bytes from the 'text' part.  Also it handles the return value in
vprintk_emit().

Note that log_store() is used also in cont_flush() but we could ignore the
return value there.  The function works with characters that were already
counted earlier.  In addition, the store could newer fail here because the
length of the printed text is limited by the "cont" buffer and "dict" is
NULL.

Petr Mladek 55bd53a4eb printk: shrink too long messages
We might want to print at least part of too long messages and add some
warning for debugging purpose.

The question is how long the shrunken message should be.  If we use the
whole buffer, it might get rotated too soon.  Let's try to use only 1/4 of
the buffer for now.

Also shrink the whole dictionary.  We do not want to parse it or break it
in the middle of some pair of values.  It would not cause any real harm
but still.

We will want to recompute the message size when shrinking too long

The side effect of setting "pad_len" is not nice but it is worth removing
the code duplication.  Note that I will probably have one more usage for
this function when handling messages safe way in NMI context.

This patch does not change the existing behavior.

Petr Mladek f40e4b9f70 printk: ignore too long messages
There was no check for too long messages.  The check for free space always
passed when first_seq and next_seq were equal.  Enough free space was not
guaranteed, though.

log_store() might be called to store messages up to 64kB + 64kB + 16B.
This is sum of maximal text_len, dict_len values, and the size of the
structure printk_log.

On the other hand, the minimal size for the main log buffer currently is
4kB and it is enforced only by Kconfig.

The good news is that the usage looks safe right now.  log_store() is
called only from vprintk_emit() and cont_flush().  Here the "text" part is
always passed via a static buffer and the length is limited to
LOG_LINE_MAX which is 1024.  The "dict" part is NULL in most cases.  The
only exceptions is when vprintk_emit() is called from printk_emit() and
dev_vprintk_emit().  But printk_emit() is currently used only in
devkmsg_writev() and here "dict" is NULL as well.  In dev_vprintk_emit(),
"dict" is limited by the static buffer "hdr" of the size 128 bytes.  It
meas that the current maximal printed text is 1024B + 128B + 16B and it
always fit the log buffer.

But it is only matter of time when someone calls printk_emit() with unsafe
parameters, especially the "dict" one.

This patch adds a check for the free space when the buffer is empty.  It
reuses the already existing log_has_space() function but it has to add an
extra parameter.  It defines whether the buffer is empty.  Note that the
same values of "first_idx" and "next_idx" might also mean that the buffer
is full.

If the buffer is empty, we must respect the current position of the
indexes.  We cannot reset them to the beginning of the buffer.  Otherwise,
the functions reading the buffer would get crazy.

The question is what to do when the message is too long.  This patch uses
the easiest solution and just ignores the problematic message.  Let's do
something better in a followup patch.

Petr Mladek 0a581694ab printk: split code for making free space in the log buffer
The check for free space in the log buffer always passes when "first_seq"
and "next_seq" are equal.  In theory, it might cause writing outside of
the log buffer.

Fortunately, the current usage looks safe because the used "text" and
"dict" buffers are quite limited.  See the second patch for more details.

Anyway, it is better to be on the safe side and add a check.  An easy
solution is done in the 2nd patch and it is improved in the 4th patch.

5th patch fixes the computation of the printed message length.

1st and 3rd patches just do some code refactoring to make the other
patches easier.

This patch (of 5):

There will be needed some fixes in the check for free space.  They will be
easier if the code is moved outside of the quite long log_store()
function.

This patch does not change the existing behavior.

Stephen Chivers 7fa21dd8bd printk/of_serial: fix serial console cessation part way through boot.
Commit 5f5c9ae56c
"serial_core: Unregister console in uart_remove_one_port()"
fixed a crash where a serial port was removed but
not deregistered as a console.

There is a side effect of that commit for platforms having serial consoles
and of_serial configured (CONFIG_SERIAL_OF_PLATFORM). The serial console
is disabled midway through the boot process.

This cessation of the serial console affects PowerPC computers
such as the MVME5100 and SAM440EP.

The sequence is:

	bootconsole [udbg0] enabled
	....
	serial8250/16550 driver initialises and registers its UARTS,
	one of these is the serial console.
	console [ttyS0] enabled
	....
	of_serial probes "platform" devices, registering them as it goes.
	One of these is the serial console.
	console [ttyS0] disabled.

The disabling of the serial console is due to:

	a.  unregister_console in printk not clearing the
	    CONS_ENABLED bit in the console flags,
	    even though it has announced that the console is disabled; and

	b.  of_platform_serial_probe in of_serial not setting the port type
	    before it registers with serial8250_register_8250_port.

This patch ensures that the serial console is re-enabled when of_serial
registers a serial port that corresponds to the designated console.

The above failure was identified in Linux-3.15-rc2.

Tested using MVME5100 and SAM440EP PowerPC computers with
kernels built from Linux-3.15-rc5 and tty-next.

The continued operation of the serial console is vital for computers
such as the MVME5100 as that Single Board Computer does not
have any grapical/display hardware.

                                 lock(cpu_hotplug.lock);
  lock(console_lock);
    *** DEADLOCK ***

There are three locks involved in two sequence:
a) pm suspend:
	console_lock (@suspend_console())
	cpu_add_remove_lock (@disable_nonboot_cpus())
	cpu_hotplug.lock (@_cpu_down())
b) Plug-out CPUx:
	cpu_add_remove_lock (@(cpu_down())
	cpu_hotplug.lock (@_cpu_down())
	console_lock (@console_cpu_notify()) => Lockdeps prints warning log.

There should be not real deadlock, as flag of console_suspended can
protect this.

Although console_suspend() releases console_sem, it doesn't tell lockdep
about it.  That results in the lockdep warning about circular locking
when doing the following: enter suspend -> resume -> plug-out CPUx (echo
0 > cpux/online)

Fix the problem by telling lockdep we actually released the semaphore in
console_suspend() and acquired it again in console_resume().
