2022-12-02printk, xen: fbfront: create/use safe function for forcing preferredJohn Ogness1-0/+1
With commit 9e124fe16ff2("xen: Enable console tty by default in domU if it's not a dummy") a hack was implemented to make sure that the tty console remains the console behind the /dev/console device. The main problem with the hack is that, after getting the console pointer to the tty console, it is assumed the pointer is still valid after releasing the console_sem. This assumption is incorrect and unsafe. Make the hack safe by introducing a new function console_force_preferred_locked() and perform the full operation under the console_list_lock.

2022-12-02console: introduce console_is_registered()John Ogness1-0/+28
Currently it is not possible for drivers to detect if they have already successfully registered their console. Several drivers have multiple paths that lead to console registration. To avoid attempting a 2nd registration (which leads to a WARN), drivers are implementing their own solution. Introduce console_is_registered() so drivers can easily identify if their console is currently registered. A _locked() variant is also provided if the caller is already holding the console_list_lock.

2022-12-02console: introduce wrappers to read/write console flagsJohn Ogness1-0/+45
After switching to SRCU for console list iteration, some readers will begin readings console->flags as a data race. Locklessly reading console->flags provides a consistent value because there is at most one CPU modifying console->flags and that CPU is using only read-modify-write operations. Introduce a wrapper for SRCU iterators to read console flags. Introduce a matching wrapper to write to flags of registered consoles. Writing to flags of registered consoles is synchronized by the console_list_lock.

2022-12-02printk: introduce console_list_lockJohn Ogness1-3/+20
Currently there exist races in register_console(), where the types of registered consoles are checked (without holding the console_lock) and then after acquiring the console_lock, it is assumed that the list has not changed. Also, some code that performs console_unregister() make similar assumptions. It might be possible to fix these races using the console_lock. But it would require a complex analysis of all console drivers to make sure that the console_lock is not taken in match() and setup() callbacks. And we really prefer to split up and reduce the responsibilities of console_lock rather than expand its complexity. Therefore, introduce a new console_list_lock to provide full synchronization for any console list changes. In addition, also use console_list_lock for synchronization of console->flags updates. All flags are either static or modified only during the console registration. There are only two exceptions. The first exception is CON_ENABLED, which is also modified by console_start()/console_stop(). Therefore, these functions must also take the console_list_lock. The second exception is when the flags are modified by the console driver init code before the console is registered. These will be ignored because they are not visible to the rest of the system via the console_drivers list. Note that one of the various responsibilities of the console_lock is also intended to provide console list and console->flags synchronization. Later changes will update call sites relying on the console_lock for these purposes. Once all call sites have been updated, the console_lock will be relieved of synchronizing console_list and console->flags updates.

2022-04-26printk: extend console_lock for per-console lockingJohn Ogness1-0/+15
Currently threaded console printers synchronize against each other using console_lock(). However, different console drivers are unrelated and do not require any synchronization between each other. Removing the synchronization between the threaded console printers will allow each console to print at its own speed. But the threaded consoles printers do still need to synchronize against console_lock() callers. Introduce a per-console mutex and a new console boolean field @blocked to provide this synchronization. console_lock() is modified so that it must acquire the mutex of each console in order to set the @blocked field. Console printing threads will acquire their mutex while printing a record. If @blocked was set, the thread will go back to sleep instead of printing. The reason for the @blocked boolean field is so that console_lock() callers do not need to acquire multiple console mutexes simultaneously, which would introduce unnecessary complexity due to nested mutex locking. Also, a new field was chosen instead of adding a new @flags value so that the blocked status could be checked without concern of reading inconsistent values due to @flags updates from other contexts. Threaded console printers also need to synchronize against console_trylock() callers. Since console_trylock() may be called from any context, the per-console mutex cannot be used for this synchronization. (mutex_trylock() cannot be called from atomic contexts.) Introduce a global atomic counter to identify if any threaded printers are active. The threaded printers will also check the atomic counter to identify if the console has been locked by another task via console_trylock(). Note that @console_sem is still used to provide synchronization between console_lock() and console_trylock() callers. A locking overview for console_lock(), console_trylock(), and the threaded printers is as follows (pseudo code): console_lock() { down(&console_sem); for_each_console(con) { mutex_lock(&con->lock); con->blocked = true; mutex_unlock(&con->lock); } /* console_lock acquired */ } console_trylock() { if (down_trylock(&console_sem) == 0) { if (atomic_cmpxchg(&console_kthreads_active, 0, -1) == 0) { /* console_lock acquired */ } } } threaded_printer() { mutex_lock(&con->lock); if (!con->blocked) { /* console_lock() callers blocked */ if (atomic_inc_unless_negative(&console_kthreads_active)) { /* console_trylock() callers blocked */ con->write(); atomic_dec(&console_lock_count); } } mutex_unlock(&con->lock); } The console owner and waiter logic now only applies between contexts that have taken the console_lock via console_trylock(). Threaded printers never take the console_lock, so they do not have a console_lock to handover. Tasks that have used console_lock() will block the threaded printers using a mutex and if the console_lock is handed over to an atomic context, it would be unable to unblock the threaded printers. However, the console_trylock() case is really the only scenario that is interesting for handovers anyway. @panic_console_dropped must change to atomic_t since it is no longer protected exclusively by the console_lock. Since threaded printers remain asleep if they see that the console is locked, they now must be explicitly woken in __console_unlock(). This means wake_up_klogd() calls following a console_unlock() are no longer necessary and are removed. Also note that threaded printers no longer need to check @console_suspended. The check for the @blocked field implicitly covers the suspended console case.

2022-04-22printk: add kthread console printersJohn Ogness1-0/+2
Create a kthread for each console to perform console printing. During normal operation (@system_state == SYSTEM_RUNNING), the kthread printers are responsible for all printing on their respective consoles. During non-normal operation, console printing is done as it has been: within the context of the printk caller or within irqwork triggered by the printk caller, referred to as direct printing. Since threaded console printers are responsible for all printing during normal operation, this also includes messages generated via deferred printk calls. If direct printing is in effect during a deferred printk call, the queued irqwork will perform the direct printing. To make it clear that this is the only time that the irqwork will perform direct printing, rename the flag PRINTK_PENDING_OUTPUT to PRINTK_PENDING_DIRECT_OUTPUT. Threaded console printers synchronize against each other and against console lockers by taking the console lock for each message that is printed. Note that the kthread printers do not care about direct printing. They will always try to print if new records are available. They can be blocked by direct printing, but will be woken again once direct printing is finished. Console unregistration is a bit tricky because the associated kthread printer cannot be stopped while the console lock is held. A policy is implemented that states: whichever task clears con->thread (under the console lock) is responsible for stopping the kthread. unregister_console() will clear con->thread while the console lock is held and then stop the kthread after releasing the console lock. For consoles that have implemented the exit() callback, the kthread is stopped before exit() is called.

2022-04-22printk: refactor and rework printing logicJohn Ogness1-0/+2
Refactor/rework printing logic in order to prepare for moving to threaded console printing. - Move @console_seq into struct console so that the current "position" of each console can be tracked individually. - Move @console_dropped into struct console so that the current drop count of each console can be tracked individually. - Modify printing logic so that each console independently loads, prepares, and prints its next record. - Remove exclusive_console logic. Since console positions are handled independently, replaying past records occurs naturally. - Update the comments explaining why preemption is disabled while printing from printk() context. With these changes, there is a change in behavior: the console replaying the log (formerly exclusive console) will no longer block other consoles. New messages appear on the other consoles while the newly added console is still replaying.

2021-11-27drm: Move nomodeset kernel parameter to the DRM subsystemJavier Martinez Canillas1-6/+0
The "nomodeset" kernel cmdline parameter is handled by the vgacon driver but the exported vgacon_text_force() symbol is only used by DRM drivers. It makes much more sense for the parameter logic to be in the subsystem of the drivers that are making use of it. Let's move the vgacon_text_force() function and related logic to the DRM subsystem. While doing that, rename it to drm_firmware_drivers_only() and make it return true if "nomodeset" was used and false otherwise. This is a better description of the condition that the drivers are testing for.

2021-10-05serial: core: Fix initializing and restoring termios speedPali Rohár1-0/+2
Since commit edc6afc54968 ("tty: switch to ktermios and new framework") termios speed is no longer stored only in c_cflag member but also in new additional c_ispeed and c_ospeed members. If BOTHER flag is set in c_cflag then termios speed is stored only in these new members. Therefore to correctly restore termios speed it is required to store also ispeed and ospeed members, not only cflag member. In case only cflag member with BOTHER flag is restored then functions tty_termios_baud_rate() and tty_termios_input_baud_rate() returns baudrate stored in c_ospeed / c_ispeed member, which is zero as it was not restored too. If reported baudrate is invalid (e.g. zero) then serial core functions report fallback baudrate value 9600. So it means that in this case original baudrate is lost and kernel changes it to value 9600. Simple reproducer of this issue is to boot kernel with following command line argument: "console=ttyXXX,86400" (where ttyXXX is the device name). For speed 86400 there is no Bnnn constant and therefore kernel has to represent this speed via BOTHER c_cflag. Which means that speed is stored only in c_ospeed and c_ispeed members, not in c_cflag anymore. If bootloader correctly configures serial device to speed 86400 then kernel prints boot log to early console at speed speed 86400 without any issue. But after kernel starts initializing real console device ttyXXX then speed is changed to fallback value 9600 because information about speed was lost. This patch fixes above issue by storing and restoring also ispeed and ospeed members, which are required for BOTHER flag.

2021-01-08Revert "init/console: Use ttynull as a fallback when there is no console"Petr Mladek1-3/+0
This reverts commit 757055ae8dedf5333af17b3b5b4b70ba9bc9da4e. The commit caused that ttynull was used as the default console on several systems[1][2][3]. As a result, the console was blank even when a better alternative existed. It happened when there was no console configured on the command line and ttynull_init() was the first initcall calling register_console(). Or it happened when /dev/ did not exist when console_on_rootfs() was called. It was not able to open /dev/console even though a console driver was registered. It tried to add ttynull console but it obviously did not help. But ttynull became the preferred console and was used by /dev/console when it was available later. The commit tried to fix a historical problem that have been there for ages. The primary motivation was the commit 3cffa06aeef7ece30f6 ("printk/console: Allow to disable console output by using console="" or console=null"). It provided a clean solution for a workaround that was widely used and worked only by chance. This revert causes that the console="" or console=null command line options will again work only by chance. These options will cause that a particular console will be preferred and the default (tty) ones will not get enabled. There will be no console registered at all. As a result there won't be stdin, stdout, and stderr for the init process. But it worked exactly this way even before. The proper solution has to fulfill many conditions: + Register ttynull only when explicitly required or as the ultimate fallback. + ttynull should get associated with /dev/console but it must not become preferred console when used as a fallback. Especially, it must still be possible to replace it by a better console later. Such a change requires clean up of the register_console() code. Otherwise, it would be even harder to follow. Especially, the use of has_preferred_console and CON_CONSDEV flag is tricky. The clean up is risky. The ordering of consoles is not well defined. And any changes tend to break existing user settings. Do the revert at the least risky solution for now.

2020-11-20init/console: Use ttynull as a fallback when there is no consolePetr Mladek1-0/+3
stdin, stdout, and stderr standard I/O stream are created for the init process. They are not available when there is no console registered for /dev/console. It might lead to a crash when the init process tries to use them, see the commit 48021f98130880dd742 ("printk: handle blank console arguments passed in."). Normally, ttySX and ttyX consoles are used as a fallback when no consoles are defined via the command line, device tree, or SPCR. But there will be no console registered when an invalid console name is configured or when the configured consoles do not exist on the system. Users even try to avoid the console intentionally, for example, by using console="" or console=null. It is used on production systems where the serial port or terminal are not visible to users. Pushing messages to these consoles would just unnecessary slowdown the system. Make sure that stdin, stdout, stderr, and /dev/console are always available by a fallback to the existing ttynull driver. It has been implemented for exactly this purpose but it was used only when explicitly configured.

2020-02-18printk: Correctly set CON_CONSDEV even when preferred console was not registeredBenjamin Herrenschmidt1-1/+1
CON_CONSDEV flag was historically used to put/keep the preferred console first in console_drivers list. Where the preferred console is the last on the command line. The ordering is important only when opening /dev/console: + tty_kopen() + tty_lookup_driver() + console_device() The flag was originally an implementation detail. But it was later made accessible from userspace via /proc/consoles. It was used, for example, by the tool "showconsole" to show the real tty accessible via /dev/console, see https://github.com/bitstreamout/showconsole Now, the current code sets CON_CONSDEV only for the preferred console or when a fallback console is added. The flag is not set when the preferred console is defined on the command line but it is not registered from some reasons. Simple solution is to set CON_CONSDEV flag for the first registered console. It will work most of the time because: + Most real consoles have console->device defined. + Boot consoles are removed in printk_late_init(). + unregister_console() moves CON_CONSDEV flag to the next console. Clean solution would require checking con->device when the preferred console is registered and in unregister_console(). Conclusion: Use the simple solution for now. It is better than the current state and good enough. The clean solution is not worth it. It would complicate the already complicated code without too much gain. Instead the code would deserve a complete rewrite.

2020-02-11console: Introduce ->exit() callbackAndy Shevchenko1-0/+1
Some consoles might require special operations on unregistering. For instance, serial console, when registered in the kernel, keeps power on for entire time, until it gets unregistered. Example of use: ->setup(console): pm_runtime_get(...); ->exit(console): pm_runtime_put(...); For such cases to have a balance we would provide ->exit() callback.

2018-07-31console: Replace #if 0 with atomic var 'ignore_console_lock_warning'Thomas Zimmermann1-5/+9
The macro WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED prints a warning when a thread enters the console's critical section without having acquired the console lock. The console lock can be ignored when debugging the console using printk, but this makes WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED generate unnecessary warnings. The variable ignore_console_lock_warning temporarily disables WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED. Developers interested in debugging the console's critical sections should increment it before entering the CS and decrement it after leaving the CS. Setting ignore_console_lock_warning is only for debugging. Regular operation should not manipulate it. Acknoledgements: This patch is based on an earlier version by Steven Rostedt. The use of atomic increment/decrement was suggested by Petr Mladek.

2018-06-28console/fbcon: Add support for deferred console takeoverHans de Goede1-0/+5
Currently fbcon claims fbdevs as soon as they are registered and takes over the console as soon as the first fbdev gets registered. This behavior is undesirable in cases where a smooth graphical bootup is desired, in such cases we typically want the contents of the framebuffer (typically a vendor logo) to stay in place as is. The current solution for this problem (on embedded systems) is to not enable fbcon. This commit adds a new FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DEFERRED_TAKEOVER config option, which when enabled defers fbcon taking over the console from the dummy console until the first text is displayed on the console. Together with the "quiet" kernel commandline option, this allows fbcon to still be used together with a smooth graphical bootup, having it take over the console as soon as e.g. an error message is logged. Note the choice to detect the first console output in the dummycon driver, rather then handling this entirely inside the fbcon code, was made after 2 failed attempts to handle this entirely inside the fbcon code. The fbcon code is woven quite tightly into the console code, making this to only feasible option.

2016-11-11Revert "console: don't prefer first registered if DT specifies stdout-path"Hans de Goede1-6/+0
This reverts commit 05fd007e4629 ("console: don't prefer first registered if DT specifies stdout-path"). The reverted commit changes existing behavior on which many ARM boards rely. Many ARM small-board-computers, like e.g. the Raspberry Pi have both a video output and a serial console. Depending on whether the user is using the device as a more regular computer; or as a headless device we need to have the console on either one or the other. Many users rely on the kernel behavior of the console being present on both outputs, before the reverted commit the console setup with no console= kernel arguments on an ARM board which sets stdout-path in dt would look like this: [root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/consoles ttyS0 -W- (EC p a) 4:64 tty0 -WU (E p ) 4:1 Where as after the reverted commit, it looks like this: [root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/consoles ttyS0 -W- (EC p a) 4:64 This commit reverts commit 05fd007e4629 ("console: don't prefer first registered if DT specifies stdout-path") restoring the original behavior.

2016-10-08console: don't prefer first registered if DT specifies stdout-pathPaul Burton1-0/+6
If a device tree specifies a preferred device for kernel console output via the stdout-path or linux,stdout-path chosen node properties or the stdout alias then the kernel ought to honor it & output the kernel console to that device. As it stands, this isn't the case. Whilst we parse the stdout-path properties & set an of_stdout variable from of_alias_scan(), and use that from of_console_check() to determine whether to add a console device as a preferred console whilst registering it, we also prefer the first registered console if no other has been selected at the time of its registration. This means that if a console other than the one the device tree selects via stdout-path is registered first, we will switch to using it & when the stdout-path console is later registered the call to add_preferred_console() via of_console_check() is too late to do anything useful. In practice this seems to mean that we switch to the dummy console device fairly early & see no further console output: Console: colour dummy device 80x25 console [tty0] enabled bootconsole [ns16550a0] disabled Fix this by not automatically preferring the first registered console if one is specified by the device tree. This allows consoles to be registered but not enabled, and once the driver for the console selected by stdout-path calls of_console_check() the driver will be added to the list of preferred consoles before any other console has been enabled. When that console is then registered via register_console() it will be enabled as expected.

2016-01-16printk: do cond_resched() between lines while outputting to consolesTejun Heo1-0/+1
@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.

2015-06-26printk: implement support for extended console driversTejun Heo1-0/+1
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.

2013-02-08fb: Yet another band-aid for fixing lockdep messTakashi Iwai1-0/+1
I've still got lockdep warnings even after Alan's patch, and it seems that yet more band aids are required to paper over similar paths for unbind_con_driver() and unregister_con_driver(). After this hack, lockdep warnings are finally gone.
