* printk: add clear_idx symbol to vmcoreinfoIvan Delalande2016-03-171-10/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows us to extract from the vmcore only the messages emitted since the last time the ring buffer was cleared. We just have to make sure its value is always up-to-date, when old messages are discarded to free space in log_make_free_space() for example.

* printk: set may_schedule for some of console_trylock() callersSergey Senozhatsky2016-03-171-9/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | console_unlock() allows to cond_resched() if its caller has set `console_may_schedule' to 1, since 8d91f8b15361 ("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.

* printk: move can_use_console() out of console_trylock_for_printk()Sergey Senozhatsky2016-03-171-55/+42

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_unlock() console_cont_flush spin_lock logbuf_lock if (!cont.len) { spin_unlock logbuf_lock return } for (;;) { vprintk_emit spin_lock logbuf_lock log_store spin_unlock logbuf_lock spin_lock logbuf_lock !console_trylock_for_printk msg_print_text return console_idx = log_next() console_seq++ console_prev = msg->flags spin_unlock logbuf_lock call_console_drivers() for_each_console(con) { if (!cpu_online() && !(con->flags & CON_ANYTIME)) continue; } /* * no message printed, we lost it */ vprintk_emit spin_lock logbuf_lock log_store spin_unlock logbuf_lock !console_trylock_for_printk return /* * go to the beginning of the loop, * find out there are new messages, * lose it */ } 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.

* printk: do cond_resched() between lines while outputting to consolesTejun Heo2016-01-161-1/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | @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.

* printk: only unregister boot consoles when necessaryThierry Reding2016-01-161-1/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* printk: prevent userland from spoofing kernel messagesMathias Krause2015-11-061-5/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* kexec: split kexec_load syscall from kexec core codeDave Young2015-09-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by: Dave Young <dyoung@redhat.com> Cc: Eric W.

* printk: implement support for extended console driversTejun Heo2015-06-251-8/+58
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| * kdb: Avoid printing KERN_ levels to consolesDaniel Thompson2015-02-191-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 04d2c8c83d0e ("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).

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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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().

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.

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().

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 458df9fd4815 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.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 458df9fd4815 ("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.

* printk: enable interrupts before calling console_trylock_for_printk()Jan Kara2014-08-061-10/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 939f04bec1a4 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).

None of them should cause any change in behavior. - 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().
