2022-06-23Revert "printk: add functions to prefer direct printing"Petr Mladek1-11/+0
This reverts commit 2bb2b7b57f81255c13f4395ea911d6bdc70c9fe2. The testing of 5.19 release candidates revealed missing synchronization between early and regular console functionality. It would be possible to start the console kthreads later as a workaround. But it is clear that console lock serialized console drivers between each other. It opens a big area of possible problems that were not considered by people involved in the development and review. printk() is crucial for debugging kernel issues and console output is very important part of it. The number of consoles is huge and a proper review would take some time. As a result it need to be reverted for 5.19.

2022-06-15printk: Wait for the global console lock when the system is going downPetr Mladek1-0/+5
There are reports that the console kthreads block the global console lock when the system is going down, for example, reboot, panic. First part of the solution was to block kthreads in these problematic system states so they stopped handling newly added messages. Second part of the solution is to wait when for the kthreads when they are actively printing. It solves the problem when a message was printed before the system entered the problematic state and the kthreads managed to step in. A busy waiting has to be used because panic() can be called in any context and in an unknown state of the scheduler. There must be a timeout because the kthread might get stuck or sleeping and never release the lock. The timeout 10s is an arbitrary value inspired by the softlockup timeout.

2022-05-13printk: stop including cache.h from printk.hPeter Collingbourne1-1/+0
An inclusion of cache.h in printk.h was added in 2014 in commit c28aa1f0a847 ("printk/cache: mark printk_once test variable __read_mostly") in order to bring in the definition of __read_mostly. The usage of __read_mostly was later removed in commit 3ec25826ae33 ("printk: Tie printk_once / printk_deferred_once into .data.once for reset") which made the inclusion of cache.h unnecessary, so remove it. We have a small amount of code that depended on the inclusion of cache.h from printk.h; fix that code to include the appropriate header. This fixes a circular inclusion on arm64 (linux/printk.h -> linux/cache.h -> asm/cache.h -> linux/kasan-enabled.h -> linux/static_key.h -> linux/jump_label.h -> linux/bug.h -> asm/bug.h -> linux/printk.h) that would otherwise be introduced by the next patch.

2022-04-22printk: add functions to prefer direct printingJohn Ogness1-0/+11
Once kthread printing is available, console printing will no longer occur in the context of the printk caller. However, there are some special contexts where it is desirable for the printk caller to directly print out kernel messages. Using pr_flush() to wait for threaded printers is only possible if the caller is in a sleepable context and the kthreads are active. That is not always the case. Introduce printk_prefer_direct_enter() and printk_prefer_direct_exit() functions to explicitly (and globally) activate/deactivate preferred direct console printing. The term "direct console printing" refers to printing to all enabled consoles from the context of the printk caller. The term "prefer" is used because this type of printing is only best effort. If the console is currently locked or other printers are already actively printing, the printk caller will need to rely on the other contexts to handle the printing. This preferred direct printing is how all printing has been handled until now (unless it was explicitly deferred). When kthread printing is introduced, there may be some unanticipated problems due to kthreads being unable to flush important messages. In order to minimize such risks, preferred direct printing is activated for the primary important messages when the system experiences general types of major errors. These are: - emergency reboot/shutdown - cpu and rcu stalls - hard and soft lockups - hung tasks - warn - sysrq Note that since kthread printing does not yet exist, no behavior changes result from this commit. This is only implementing the counter and marking the various places where preferred direct printing is active.

Since the printk cpulock is CPU-reentrant and since it is used in all contexts, its usage must be carefully considered and most likely will require programming locklessly.

printk from NMI context relies on irq work being raised on the local CPU to print to console. This can be a problem if the NMI was raised by a lockup detector to print lockup stack and regs, because the CPU may not enable irqs (because it is locked up). Introduce printk_trigger_flush() that can be called another CPU to try to get those messages to the console, call that where printk_safe_flush was previously called.

console_verbose() increases console loglevel to CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_MOTORMOUTH, which provides more information to debug a panic/oops. Unfortunately, in Arista we maintain some DUTs (Device Under Test) that are configured to have 9600 baud rate. While verbose console messages have their value to post-analyze crashes, on such setup they: - may prevent panic/oops messages being printed - take too long to flush on console resulting in watchdog reboot In all our setups we use kdump which saves dmesg buffer after panic, so in reality those extra messages on console provide no additional value, but rather add risk of not getting to __crash_kexec(). Provide printk.console_no_auto_verbose boot parameter, which allows to switch off printk being verbose on oops/panic/lockdep.

All NMI contexts are handled the same as the safe context: store the message and defer printing. There is no need to have special NMI context tracking for this. Using in_nmi() is enough. There are several parts of the kernel that are manually calling into the printk NMI context tracking in order to cause general printk deferred printing: arch/arm/kernel/smp.c arch/powerpc/kexec/crash.c kernel/trace/trace.c For arm/kernel/smp.c and powerpc/kexec/crash.c, provide a new function pair printk_deferred_enter/exit that explicitly achieves the same objective. For ftrace, remove the printk context manipulation completely. It was added in commit 03fc7f9c99c1 ("printk/nmi: Prevent deadlock when accessing the main log buffer in NMI"). The purpose was to enforce storing messages directly into the ring buffer even in NMI context. It really should have only modified the behavior in NMI context. There is no need for a special behavior any longer. All messages are always stored directly now. The console deferring is handled transparently in vprintk().

With @logbuf_lock removed, the high level printk functions for storing messages are lockless. Messages can be stored from any context, so there is no need for the NMI and safe buffers anymore. Remove the NMI and safe buffers. Although the safe buffers are removed, the NMI and safe context tracking is still in place. In these contexts, store the message immediately but still use irq_work to defer the console printing. Since printk recursion tracking is in place, safe context tracking for most of printk is not needed. Remove it. Only safe context tracking relating to the console and console_owner locks is left in place. This is because the console and console_owner locks are needed for the actual printing.

2021-07-19printk: Userspace format indexing supportChris Down1-4/+91
We have a number of systems industry-wide that have a subset of their functionality that works as follows: 1. Receive a message from local kmsg, serial console, or netconsole; 2. Apply a set of rules to classify the message; 3. Do something based on this classification (like scheduling a remediation for the machine), rinse, and repeat. As a couple of examples of places we have this implemented just inside Facebook, although this isn't a Facebook-specific problem, we have this inside our netconsole processing (for alarm classification), and as part of our machine health checking. We use these messages to determine fairly important metrics around production health, and it's important that we get them right. While for some kinds of issues we have counters, tracepoints, or metrics with a stable interface which can reliably indicate the issue, in order to react to production issues quickly we need to work with the interface which most kernel developers naturally use when developing: printk. Most production issues come from unexpected phenomena, and as such usually the code in question doesn't have easily usable tracepoints or other counters available for the specific problem being mitigated. We have a number of lines of monitoring defence against problems in production (host metrics, process metrics, service metrics, etc), and where it's not feasible to reliably monitor at another level, this kind of pragmatic netconsole monitoring is essential. As one would expect, monitoring using printk is rather brittle for a number of reasons -- most notably that the message might disappear entirely in a new version of the kernel, or that the message may change in some way that the regex or other classification methods start to silently fail. One factor that makes this even harder is that, under normal operation, many of these messages are never expected to be hit. For example, there may be a rare hardware bug which one wants to detect if it was to ever happen again, but its recurrence is not likely or anticipated. This precludes using something like checking whether the printk in question was printed somewhere fleetwide recently to determine whether the message in question is still present or not, since we don't anticipate that it should be printed anywhere, but still need to monitor for its future presence in the long-term. This class of issue has happened on a number of occasions, causing unhealthy machines with hardware issues to remain in production for longer than ideal. As a recent example, some monitoring around blk_update_request fell out of date and caused semi-broken machines to remain in production for longer than would be desirable. Searching through the codebase to find the message is also extremely fragile, because many of the messages are further constructed beyond their callsite (eg. btrfs_printk and other module-specific wrappers, each with their own functionality). Even if they aren't, guessing the format and formulation of the underlying message based on the aesthetics of the message emitted is not a recipe for success at scale, and our previous issues with fleetwide machine health checking demonstrate as much. This provides a solution to the issue of silently changed or deleted printks: we record pointers to all printk format strings known at compile time into a new .printk_index section, both in vmlinux and modules. At runtime, this can then be iterated by looking at <debugfs>/printk/index/<module>, which emits the following format, both readable by humans and able to be parsed by machines: $ head -1 vmlinux; shuf -n 5 vmlinux # <level[,flags]> filename:line function "format" <5> block/blk-settings.c:661 disk_stack_limits "%s: Warning: Device %s is misaligned\n" <4> kernel/trace/trace.c:8296 trace_create_file "Could not create tracefs '%s' entry\n" <6> arch/x86/kernel/hpet.c:144 _hpet_print_config "hpet: %s(%d):\n" <6> init/do_mounts.c:605 prepare_namespace "Waiting for root device %s...\n" <6> drivers/acpi/osl.c:1410 acpi_no_auto_serialize_setup "ACPI: auto-serialization disabled\n" This mitigates the majority of cases where we have a highly-specific printk which we want to match on, as we can now enumerate and check whether the format changed or the printk callsite disappeared entirely in userspace. This allows us to catch changes to printks we monitor earlier and decide what to do about it before it becomes problematic. There is no additional runtime cost for printk callers or printk itself, and the assembly generated is exactly the same.

2021-06-29printk: introduce dump_stack_lvl()Alexander Potapenko1-0/+5
dump_stack() is used for many different cases, which may require a log level consistent with other kernel messages surrounding the dump_stack() call. Without that, certain systems that are configured to ignore the default level messages will miss stack traces in critical error reports. This patch introduces dump_stack_lvl() that behaves similarly to dump_stack(), but accepts a custom log level. The old dump_stack() becomes equal to dump_stack_lvl(KERN_DEFAULT). A somewhat similar patch has been proposed in 2012: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1332493269.2359.9.camel@hebo/ , but wasn't merged.

2021-06-29once: implement DO_ONCE_LITE for non-fast-path "do once" functionalityTanner Love1-20/+3
Certain uses of "do once" functionality reside outside of fast path, and so do not require jump label patching via static keys, making existing DO_ONCE undesirable in such cases. Replace uses of __section(".data.once") with DO_ONCE_LITE(_IF)? This patch changes the return values of xfs_printk_once, printk_once, and printk_deferred_once. Before, they returned whether the print was performed, but now, they always return true. This is okay because the return values of the following macros are entirely ignored throughout the kernel: - xfs_printk_once - xfs_warn_once - xfs_notice_once - xfs_info_once - printk_once - pr_emerg_once - pr_alert_once - pr_crit_once - pr_err_once - pr_warn_once - pr_notice_once - pr_info_once - pr_devel_once - pr_debug_once - printk_deferred_once - orc_warn Changes v3: - Expand commit message to explain why changing return values of xfs_printk_once, printk_once, printk_deferred_once is benign v2: - Fix i386 build warnings Signed-off-by: Tanner Love <tannerlove@google.com> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Acked-by: Mahesh Bandewar <maheshb@google.com> Acked-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2021-06-22lib/dump_stack: move cpu lock to printk.cJohn Ogness1-0/+41
dump_stack() implements its own cpu-reentrant spinning lock to best-effort serialize stack traces in the printk log. However, there are other functions (such as show_regs()) that can also benefit from this serialization. Move the cpu-reentrant spinning lock (cpu lock) into new helper functions printk_cpu_lock_irqsave()/printk_cpu_unlock_irqrestore() so that it is available for others as well. For !CONFIG_SMP the cpu lock is a NOP. Note that having multiple cpu locks in the system can easily lead to deadlock. Code needing a cpu lock should use the printk cpu lock, since the printk cpu lock could be acquired from any code and any context. Also note that it is not necessary for a cpu lock to disable interrupts. However, in upcoming work this cpu lock will be used for emergency tasks (for example, atomic consoles during kernel crashes) and any interruptions while holding the cpu lock should be avoided if possible.

2020-09-22printk: move dictionary keys to dev_printk_infoJohn Ogness1-2/+4
Dictionaries are only used for SUBSYSTEM and DEVICE properties. The current implementation stores the property names each time they are used. This requires more space than otherwise necessary. Also, because the dictionary entries are currently considered optional, it cannot be relied upon that they are always available, even if the writer wanted to store them. These issues will increase should new dictionary properties be introduced. Rather than storing the subsystem and device properties in the dict ring, introduce a struct dev_printk_info with separate fields to store only the property values. Embed this struct within the struct printk_info to provide guaranteed availability.

2020-07-27printk: Make linux/printk.h self-containedHerbert Xu1-0/+1
As it stands if you include printk.h by itself it will fail to compile because it requires definitions from ratelimit.h. However, simply including ratelimit.h from printk.h does not work due to inclusion loops involving sched.h and kernel.h. This patch solves this by moving bits from ratelimit.h into a new header file which can then be included by printk.h without any worries about header loops. The build bot then revealed some intriguing failures arising out of this patch. On s390 there is an inclusion loop with asm/bug.h and linux/kernel.h that triggers a compile failure, because kernel.h will cause asm-generic/bug.h to be included before s390's own asm/bug.h has finished processing. This has been fixed by not including kernel.h in arch/s390/include/asm/bug.h.

2020-04-10printk: queue wake_up_klogd irq_work only if per-CPU areas are readySergey Senozhatsky1-5/+0
printk_deferred(), similarly to printk_safe/printk_nmi, does not immediately attempt to print a new message on the consoles, avoiding calls into non-reentrant kernel paths, e.g. scheduler or timekeeping, which potentially can deadlock the system. Those printk() flavors, instead, rely on per-CPU flush irq_work to print messages from safer contexts. For same reasons (recursive scheduler or timekeeping calls) printk() uses per-CPU irq_work in order to wake up user space syslog/kmsg readers. However, only printk_safe/printk_nmi do make sure that per-CPU areas have been initialised and that it's safe to modify per-CPU irq_work. This means that, for instance, should printk_deferred() be invoked "too early", that is before per-CPU areas are initialised, printk_deferred() will perform illegal per-CPU access. Lech Perczak [0] reports that after commit 1b710b1b10ef ("char/random: silence a lockdep splat with printk()") user-space syslog/kmsg readers are not able to read new kernel messages. The reason is printk_deferred() being called too early (as was pointed out by Petr and John). Fix printk_deferred() and do not queue per-CPU irq_work before per-CPU areas are initialized.

2019-09-26lib/hexdump: make print_hex_dump_bytes() a nop on !DEBUG buildsStephen Boyd1-7/+15
I'm seeing a bunch of debug prints from a user of print_hex_dump_bytes() in my kernel logs, but I don't have CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG enabled nor do I have DEBUG defined in my build. The problem is that print_hex_dump_bytes() calls a wrapper function in lib/hexdump.c that calls print_hex_dump() with KERN_DEBUG level. There are three cases to consider here 1. CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y --> call dynamic_hex_dum() 2. CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=n && DEBUG --> call print_hex_dump() 3. CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=n && !DEBUG --> stub it out Right now, that last case isn't detected and we still call print_hex_dump() from the stub wrapper. Let's make print_hex_dump_bytes() only call print_hex_dump_debug() so that it works properly in all cases. Case #1, print_hex_dump_debug() calls dynamic_hex_dump() and we get same behavior. Case #2, print_hex_dump_debug() calls print_hex_dump() with KERN_DEBUG and we get the same behavior. Case #3, print_hex_dump_debug() is a nop, changing behavior to what we want, i.e. print nothing.

2019-05-15panic: avoid the extra noise dmesgFeng Tang1-0/+2
When kernel panic happens, it will first print the panic call stack, then the ending msg like: [ 35.743249] ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception [ 35.749975] ------------[ cut here ]------------ The above message are very useful for debugging. But if system is configured to not reboot on panic, say the "panic_timeout" parameter equals 0, it will likely print out many noisy message like WARN() call stack for each and every CPU except the panic one, messages like below: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 280 at kernel/sched/core.c:1198 set_task_cpu+0x183/0x190 Call Trace: <IRQ> try_to_wake_up default_wake_function autoremove_wake_function __wake_up_common __wake_up_common_lock __wake_up wake_up_klogd_work_func irq_work_run_list irq_work_tick update_process_times tick_sched_timer __hrtimer_run_queues hrtimer_interrupt smp_apic_timer_interrupt apic_timer_interrupt For people working in console mode, the screen will first show the panic call stack, but immediately overridden by these noisy extra messages, which makes debugging much more difficult, as the original context gets lost on screen. Also these noisy messages will confuse some users, as I have seen many bug reporters posted the noisy message into bugzilla, instead of the real panic call stack and context. Adding a flag "suppress_printk" which gets set in panic() to avoid those noisy messages, without changing current kernel behavior that both panic blinking and sysrq magic key can work as is, suggested by Petr Mladek. To verify this, make sure kernel is not configured to reboot on panic and in console # echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger to see if console only prints out the panic call stack.

2019-04-15printk: Tie printk_once / printk_deferred_once into .data.once for resetPaul Gortmaker1-2/+2
In commit b1fca27d384e ("kernel debug: support resetting WARN*_ONCE") we got the opportunity to reset state on the one shot messages, without having to reboot. However printk_once (printk_deferred_once) live in a different file and didn't get the same kind of update/conversion, so they remain unconditionally one shot, until the system is rebooted. For example, we currently have: sched/rt.c: printk_deferred_once("sched: RT throttling activated\n"); ..which could reasonably be tripped as someone is testing and tuning a new system/workload and their task placements. For consistency, and to avoid reboots in the same vein as the original commit, we make these two instances of _once the same as the WARN*_ONCE instances are.

pr_debug_ratelimited tests the dynamic debug descriptor the old-fashioned way, and doesn't utilize the static key/jump label implementation when CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL is set. Use the DYNAMIC_DEBUG_BRANCH which is defined appropriately.

2019-03-04printk: Remove no longer used LOG_PREFIX.Tetsuo Handa1-1/+0
When commit 5becfb1df5ac8e49 ("kmsg: merge continuation records while printing") introduced LOG_PREFIX, we used KERN_DEFAULT etc. as a flag for setting LOG_PREFIX in order to tell whether to call cont_add() (i.e. whether to append the message to "struct cont"). But since commit 4bcc595ccd80decb ("printk: reinstate KERN_CONT for printing continuation lines") inverted the behavior (i.e. don't append the message to "struct cont" unless KERN_CONT is specified) and commit 5aa068ea4082b39e ("printk: remove games with previous record flags") removed the last LOG_PREFIX check, setting LOG_PREFIX via KERN_DEFAULT etc. is no longer meaningful. Therefore, we can remove LOG_PREFIX and make KERN_DEFAULT empty string.
