When compiling with -Wsuggest-attribute=format, gcc complains that some functions in kernel/printk/printk_safe.c transmit their argument to printf-like functions without having a printf attribute. Silence these warnings by adding relevant __printf attributes.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk Pull printk fix from Petr Mladek: "This reverts a fix added into 4.12-rc1. It caused the kernel log to be printed on another console when two consoles of the same type were defined, e.g. console=ttyS0 console=ttyS1. This configuration was never supported by kernel itself, but it started to make sense with systemd. In other words, the commit broke userspace" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk: Revert "printk: fix double printing with earlycon"
2017-06-08Revert "printk: fix double printing with earlycon"Petr Mladek1-36/+10
This reverts commit cf39bf58afdaabc0b86f141630fb3fd18190294e. The commit regression to users that define both console=ttyS1 and console=ttyS0 on the command line, see https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170509082915.GA13236@bistromath.localdomain The kernel log messages always appeared only on one serial port. It is even documented in Documentation/admin-guide/serial-console.rst: "Note that you can only define one console per device type (serial, video)." The above mentioned commit changed the order in which the command line parameters are searched. As a result, the kernel log messages go to the last mentioned ttyS* instead of the first one. We long thought that using two console=ttyS* on the command line did not make sense. But then we realized that console= parameters were handled also by systemd, see http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/serial-console.html "By default systemd will instantiate one serial-getty@.service on the main kernel console, if it is not a virtual terminal." where "[4] If multiple kernel consoles are used simultaneously, the main console is the one listed first in /sys/class/tty/console/active, which is the last one listed on the kernel command line." This puts the original report into another light. The system is running in qemu. The first serial port is used to store the messages into a file. The second one is used to login to the system via a socket. It depends on systemd and the historic kernel behavior. By other words, systemd causes that it makes sense to define both console=ttyS1 console=ttyS0 on the command line. The kernel fix caused regression related to userspace (systemd) and need to be reverted. In addition, it went out that the fix helped only partially. The messages still were duplicated when the boot console was removed early by late_initcall(printk_late_init). Then the entire log was replayed when the same console was registered as a normal one.

2017-05-19printk: Use the main logbuf in NMI when logbuf_lock is availablePetr Mladek3-9/+42
The commit 42a0bb3f71383b457a7d ("printk/nmi: generic solution for safe printk in NMI") caused that printk stores messages into a temporary buffer in NMI context. The buffer is per-CPU and therefore the size is rather limited. It works quite well for NMI backtraces. But there are longer logs that might get printed in NMI context, for example, lockdep warnings, ftrace_dump_on_oops. The temporary buffer is used to avoid deadlocks caused by logbuf_lock. Also it is needed to avoid races with the other temporary buffer that is used when PRINTK_SAFE_CONTEXT is entered. But the main buffer can be used in NMI if the lock is available and we did not interrupt PRINTK_SAFE_CONTEXT. The lock is checked using raw_spin_is_locked(). It might cause false negatives when the lock is taken on another CPU and this CPU is in the safe context from other reasons. Note that the safe context is used also to get console semaphore or when calling console drivers. For this reason, we do the check in printk_nmi_enter(). It makes the handling consistent for the entire NMI handler and avoids reshuffling of the messages. The patch also defines special printk context that allows to use printk_deferred() in NMI. Note that we could not flush the messages to the consoles because console drivers might use many other internal locks. The newly created vprintk_deferred() disables the preemption only around the irq work handling. It is needed there to keep the consistency between the two per-CPU variables. But there is no reason to disable preemption around vprintk_emit(). Finally, the patch puts back explicit serialization of the NMI backtraces from different CPUs. It was removed by the commit a9edc88093287183ac934b ("x86/nmi: Perform a safe NMI stack trace on all CPUs"). It was not needed because the flushing of the temporary per-CPU buffers was serialized.

2017-05-09crash: move crashkernel parsing and vmcore related code under CONFIG_CRASH_COREHari Bathini1-3/+3
Patch series "kexec/fadump: remove dependency with CONFIG_KEXEC and reuse crashkernel parameter for fadump", v4. Traditionally, kdump is used to save vmcore in case of a crash. Some architectures like powerpc can save vmcore using architecture specific support instead of kexec/kdump mechanism. Such architecture specific support also needs to reserve memory, to be used by dump capture kernel. crashkernel parameter can be a reused, for memory reservation, by such architecture specific infrastructure. This patchset removes dependency with CONFIG_KEXEC for crashkernel parameter and vmcoreinfo related code as it can be reused without kexec support. Also, crashkernel parameter is reused instead of fadump_reserve_mem to reserve memory for fadump. The first patch moves crashkernel parameter parsing and vmcoreinfo related code under CONFIG_CRASH_CORE instead of CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE. The second patch reuses the definitions of append_elf_note() & final_note() functions under CONFIG_CRASH_CORE in IA64 arch code. The third patch removes dependency on CONFIG_KEXEC for firmware-assisted dump (fadump) in powerpc. The next patch reuses crashkernel parameter for reserving memory for fadump, instead of the fadump_reserve_mem parameter. This has the advantage of using all syntaxes crashkernel parameter supports, for fadump as well. The last patch updates fadump kernel documentation about use of crashkernel parameter. This patch (of 5): Traditionally, kdump is used to save vmcore in case of a crash. Some architectures like powerpc can save vmcore using architecture specific support instead of kexec/kdump mechanism. Such architecture specific support also needs to reserve memory, to be used by dump capture kernel. crashkernel parameter can be a reused, for memory reservation, by such architecture specific infrastructure. But currently, code related to vmcoreinfo and parsing of crashkernel parameter is built under CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE. This patch introduces CONFIG_CRASH_CORE and moves the above mentioned code under this config, allowing code reuse without dependency on CONFIG_KEXEC. There is no functional change with this patch.

2017-04-12printk: fix double printing with earlyconAleksey Makarov1-10/+36
If a console was specified by ACPI SPCR table _and_ command line parameters like "console=ttyAMA0" _and_ "earlycon" were specified, then log messages appear twice. The root cause is that the code traverses the list of specified consoles (the `console_cmdline` array) and stops at the first match. But it may happen that the same console is referred by the elements of this array twice: pl011,mmio,0x87e024000000,115200 -- from SPCR ttyAMA0 -- from command line but in this case `preferred_console` points to the second entry and the flag CON_CONSDEV is not set, so bootconsole is not deregistered. To fix that, introduce an invariant "The last non-braille console is always the preferred one" on the entries of the console_cmdline array. Then traverse it in reverse order to be sure that if the console is preferred then it will be the first matching entry. Introduce variable console_cmdline_cnt that keeps the number of elements of the console_cmdline array (Petr Mladek). It helps to get rid of the loop that searches for the end of this array.

2017-04-12printk: rename selected_console -> preferred_consoleAleksey Makarov1-5/+5
The variable selected_console is set in __add_preferred_console() to point to the last console parameter that was added to the console_cmdline array. Rename it to preferred_console so that the name reflects the usage. Petr Mladek: "[..] the selected_console/preferred_console value is used to keep the console first in the console_drivers list. IMHO, the main effect is that each line will first appear on this console, see call_console_drivers(). But the message will still appear also on all other enabled consoles. From this point, the name "preferred" sounds better to me. More consoles are selected (enabled) and only one is preferred (first)."

2017-04-04printk: Correctly handle preemption in console_unlock()Petr Mladek1-2/+6
Some console drivers code calls console_conditional_schedule() that looks at @console_may_schedule. The value must be cleared when the drivers are called from console_unlock() with interrupts disabled. But rescheduling is fine when the same code is called, for example, from tty operations where the console semaphore is taken via console_lock(). This is why @console_may_schedule is cleared before calling console drivers. The original value is stored to decide if we could sleep between lines. Now, @console_may_schedule is not cleared when we call console_trylock() and jump back to the "again" goto label. This has become a problem, since the commit 6b97a20d3a7909daa066 ("printk: set may_schedule for some of console_trylock() callers"). @console_may_schedule might get enabled now. There is also the opposite problem. console_lock() can be called only from preemptive context. It can always enable scheduling in the console code. But console_trylock() is not able to detect it when CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT is disabled. Therefore we should use the original @console_may_schedule value after re-acquiring the console semaphore in console_unlock(). This patch solves both problems by moving the "again" goto label. Alternative solution was to clear and restore the value around call_console_drivers(). Then console_conditional_schedule() could be used also inside console_unlock(). But there was a potential race with console_flush_on_panic() as reported by Sergey Senozhatsky. That function should be called only where there is only one CPU and with interrupts disabled. But better be on the safe side because stopping CPUs might fail.

2017-03-24printk: use console_trylock() in console_cpu_notify()Sergey Senozhatsky1-5/+6
There is no need to always call blocking console_lock() in console_cpu_notify(), it's quite possible that console_sem can be locked by other CPU on the system, either already printing or soon to begin printing the messages. console_lock() in this case can simply block CPU hotplug for unknown period of time (console_unlock() is time unbound). Not that hotplug is very fast, but still, with other CPUs being online and doing printk() console_cpu_notify() can stuck. Use console_trylock() instead and opt-out if console_sem is already acquired from another CPU, since that CPU will do the printing for us.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek: - Add Petr Mladek, Sergey Senozhatsky as printk maintainers, and Steven Rostedt as the printk reviewer. This idea came up after the discussion about printk issues at Kernel Summit. It was formulated and discussed at lkml[1]. - Extend a lock-less NMI per-cpu buffers idea to handle recursive printk() calls by Sergey Senozhatsky[2]. It is the first step in sanitizing printk as discussed at Kernel Summit. The change allows to see messages that would normally get ignored or would cause a deadlock.

2017-02-08printk: remove zap_locks() functionSergey Senozhatsky1-61/+0
We use printk-safe now which makes printk-recursion detection code in vprintk_emit() unreachable. The tricky thing here is that, apart from detecting and reporting printk recursions, that code also used to zap_locks() in case of panic() from the same CPU. However, zap_locks() does not look to be needed anymore: 1) Since commit 08d78658f393 ("panic: release stale console lock to always get the logbuf printed out") panic flushing of `logbuf' to console ignores the state of `console_sem' by doing panic() console_trylock(); console_unlock(); 2) Since commit cf9b1106c81c ("printk/nmi: flush NMI messages on the system panic") panic attempts to zap the `logbuf_lock' spin_lock to successfully flush nmi messages to `logbuf'. Basically, it seems that we either already do what zap_locks() used to do but in other places or we ignore the state of the lock. The only reaming difference is that we don't re-init the console semaphore in printk_safe_flush_on_panic(), but this is not necessary because we don't call console drivers from printk_safe_flush_on_panic() due to the fact that we are using a deferred printk() version (as was suggested by Petr Mladek).

2017-02-08printk: use printk_safe buffers in printkSergey Senozhatsky1-15/+32
Use printk_safe per-CPU buffers in printk recursion-prone blocks: -- around logbuf_lock protected sections in vprintk_emit() and console_unlock() -- around down_trylock_console_sem() and up_console_sem() Note that this solution addresses deadlocks caused by printk() recursive calls only. That is vprintk_emit() and console_unlock(). The rest will be converted in a followup patch. Another thing to note is that we now keep lockdep enabled in printk, because we are protected against the printk recursion caused by lockdep in vprintk_emit() by the printk-safe mechanism - we first switch to per-CPU buffers and only then access the deadlock-prone locks.

2017-02-08printk: introduce per-cpu safe_print seq bufferSergey Senozhatsky4-52/+157
This patch extends the idea of NMI per-cpu buffers to regions that may cause recursive printk() calls and possible deadlocks. Namely, printk() can't handle printk calls from schedule code or printk() calls from lock debugging code (spin_dump() for instance); because those may be called with `sem->lock' already taken or any other `critical' locks (p->pi_lock, etc.). An example of deadlock can be vprintk_emit() console_unlock() up() << raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&sem->lock, flags); wake_up_process() try_to_wake_up() ttwu_queue() ttwu_activate() activate_task() enqueue_task() enqueue_task_fair() cfs_rq_of() task_of() WARN_ON_ONCE(!entity_is_task(se)) vprintk_emit() console_trylock() down_trylock() raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&sem->lock, flags) ^^^^ deadlock and some other cases. Just like in NMI implementation, the solution uses a per-cpu `printk_func' pointer to 'redirect' printk() calls to a 'safe' callback, that store messages in a per-cpu buffer and flushes them back to logbuf buffer later. Usage example: printk() printk_safe_enter_irqsave(flags) // // any printk() call from here will endup in vprintk_safe(), // that stores messages in a special per-CPU buffer. // printk_safe_exit_irqrestore(flags) The 'redirection' mechanism, though, has been reworked, as suggested by Petr Mladek. Instead of using a per-cpu @print_func callback we now keep a per-cpu printk-context variable and call either default or nmi vprintk function depending on its value. printk_nmi_entrer/exit and printk_safe_enter/exit, thus, just set/celar corresponding bits in printk-context functions. The patch only adds printk_safe support, we don't use it yet.

2016-12-15printk: remove console flushing special cases for partial buffered linesLinus Torvalds1-103/+5
It actively hurts proper merging, and makes for a lot of special cases. There was a good(ish) reason for doing it originally, but it's getting too painful to maintain. And most of the original reasons for it are long gone. So instead of having special code to flush partial lines to the console (as opposed to the record buffers), do _all_ the console writing from the record buffer, and be done with it. If an oops happens (or some other synchronous event), we will flush the partial lines due to the oops printing activity, so this does not affect that. It does mean that if you have a completely hung machine, a partial preceding line may not have been printed out. That was some of the original reason for this complexity, in fact, back when we used to test for the historical i386 "halt" instruction problem by doing pr_info("Checking 'hlt' instruction... "); if (!boot_cpu_data.hlt_works_ok) { pr_cont("disabled\n"); return; } halt(); halt(); halt(); halt(); pr_cont("OK\n"); and that model no longer works (it the 'hlt' instruction kills the machine, the partial line won't have been flushed, so you won't even see it). Of course, that was also back in the days when people actually had textual console output rather than a graphical splash-screen at bootup. How times change..

The record logging code looks at the previous record flags in various ways, and they are all wrong. You can't use the previous record flags to determine anything about the next record, because they may simply not be related. In particular, the reason the previous record was a continuation record may well be exactly _because_ the new record was printed by a different process, which is why the previous record was flushed. So all those games are simply wrong, and make the code hard to understand (because the code fundamentally cdoes not make sense). So remove it.

2016-12-15kdb: call vkdb_printf() from vprintk_default() only when wantedPetr Mladek1-1/+2
kdb_trap_printk allows to pass normal printk() messages to kdb via vkdb_printk(). For example, it is used to get backtrace using the classic show_stack(), see kdb_show_stack(). vkdb_printf() tries to avoid a potential infinite loop by disabling the trap. But this approach is racy, for example: CPU1 CPU2 vkdb_printf() // assume that kdb_trap_printk == 0 saved_trap_printk = kdb_trap_printk; kdb_trap_printk = 0; kdb_show_stack() kdb_trap_printk++; Problem1: Now, a nested printk() on CPU0 calls vkdb_printf() even when it should have been disabled. It will not cause a deadlock but... // using the outdated saved value: 0 kdb_trap_printk = saved_trap_printk; kdb_trap_printk--; Problem2: Now, kdb_trap_printk == -1 and will stay like this. It means that all messages will get passed to kdb from now on. This patch removes the racy saved_trap_printk handling. Instead, the recursion is prevented by a check for the locked CPU. The solution is still kind of racy. A non-related printk(), from another process, might get trapped by vkdb_printf(). And the wanted printk() might not get trapped because kdb_printf_cpu is assigned. But this problem existed even with the original code. A proper solution would be to get_cpu() before setting kdb_trap_printk and trap messages only from this CPU. I am not sure if it is worth the effort, though. In fact, the race is very theoretical. When kdb is running any of the commands that use kdb_trap_printk there is a single active CPU and the other CPUs should be in a holding pen inside kgdb_cpu_enter(). The only time this is violated is when there is a timeout waiting for the other CPUs to report to the holding pen. Finally, note that the situation is a bit schizophrenic. vkdb_printf() explicitly allows recursion but only from KDB code that calls kdb_printf() directly. On the other hand, the generic printk() recursion is not allowed because it might cause an infinite loop. This is why we could not hide the decision inside vkdb_printf() easily.

2016-12-13printk/NMI: handle continuous lines and missing newlinePetr Mladek1-28/+50
Commit 4bcc595ccd80 ("printk: reinstate KERN_CONT for printing continuation lines") added back KERN_CONT message header. As a result it might appear in the middle of the line when the parts are squashed via the temporary NMI buffer. A reasonable solution seems to be to split the text in the NNI temporary not only by newlines but also by the message headers. Another solution would be to filter out KERN_CONT when writing to the temporary buffer. But this would complicate the lockless handling. Also it would not solve problems with a missing newline that was there even before the KERN_CONT stuff. This patch moves the temporary buffer handling into separate function. I played with it and it seems that using the char pointers make the code easier to read. Also it prints the final newline as a continuous line. Finally, it moves handling of the s->len overflow into the paranoid check. And allows to recover from the disaster.

2016-12-13printk/NMI: fix up handling of the full nmi log bufferPetr Mladek1-2/+3
vsnprintf() adds the trailing '\0' but it does not count it into the number of printed characters. The result is that there is one byte less space for the real characters in the buffer. The broken check for the free space might cause that we will repeatedly try to print 1 character into the buffer, never reach the full buffer, and do not count the messages as missed. Also vsnprintf() returns the number of characters that would be printed if the buffer was big enough. As a result, s->len might be bigger than the size of the buffer[*]. And the printk() function might return bigger len than it really printed. Both problems are fixed by using vscnprintf() instead. Note that I though about increasing the number of missed messages even when the message was shrunken. But it made the code even more complicated. I think that it is not worth it. Shrunken messages are usually easy to recognize. And it should be a corner case. [*] The overflown s->len value is crazy and unexpected. I "made a mistake" and reported this situation as an internal error when fixed handling of PR_CONT headers in some other patch.

2016-11-17kernel/printk: Block cpuhotplug callback when tasks are frozenThomas Gleixner1-2/+4
The recent conversion of the console hotplug notifier to the state machine missed the fact, that the notifier only operated on the non frozen transitions. As a consequence the console_lock/unlock() pair is also invoked during suspend, which results in a lockdep warning. Restore the previous state by making the lock/unlock conditional on !tasks_frozen.

2016-11-14Revert "printk: make reading the kernel log flush pending lines"Linus Torvalds1-11/+0
This reverts commit bfd8d3f23b51018388be0411ccbc2d56277fe294. It turns out that this flushes things much too aggressiverly, and causes lines to break up when the system logger races with new continuation lines being printed. There's a pending patch to make printk() flushing much more straightforward, but it's too invasive for 4.9, so in the meantime let's just not make the system message logging flush continuation lines. They'll be flushed by the final newline anyway. Suggested-by: Petr Mladek <pmladek@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2016-11-11Revert "console: don't prefer first registered if DT specifies stdout-path"Hans de Goede1-12/+1
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.

2016-10-19printk: suppress empty continuation linesLinus Torvalds1-0/+4
We have a fairly common pattern where you print several things as continuations on one single line in a loop, and then at the end you do printk(KERN_CONT "\n"); to flush the buffered output. But if the output was flushed by something else (concurrent printk activity, or just system logging), we don't want that final flushing to just print an empty line. So just suppress empty continuation lines when they couldn't be merged into the line they are a continuation of. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2016-10-10Merge branch 'printk-cleanups'Linus Torvalds1-63/+61
Merge my system logging cleanups, triggered by the broken '\n' patches. The line continuation handling has been broken basically forever, and the code to handle the system log records was both confusing and dubious. And it would do entirely the wrong thing unless you always had a terminating newline, partly because it couldn't actually see whether a message was marked KERN_CONT or not (but partly because the LOG_CONT handling in the recording code was rather confusing too). This re-introduces a real semantically meaningful KERN_CONT, and fixes the few places I noticed where it was missing. There are probably more missing cases, since KERN_CONT hasn't actually had any semantic meaning for at least four years (other than the checkpatch meaning of "no log level necessary, this is a continuation line"). This also allows the combination of KERN_CONT and a log level. In that case the log level will be ignored if the merging with a previous line is successful, but if a new record is needed, that new record will now get the right log level. That also means that you can at least in theory combine KERN_CONT with the "pr_info()" style helpers, although any use of pr_fmt() prefixing would make that just result in a mess, of course (the prefix would end up in the middle of a continuing line). * printk-cleanups: printk: make reading the kernel log flush pending lines printk: re-organize log_output() to be more legible printk: split out core logging code into helper function printk: reinstate KERN_CONT for printing continuation lines
2016-10-09printk: make reading the kernel log flush pending linesLinus Torvalds1-0/+11
That will mean that any possible subsequent continuation will now be broken up onto a line of its own (since reading the log has finalized the beginning og the line), but if user space has activated system logging (or if there's a kernel message dump going on) that is the right thing to do. And now that we actually get the continuation flags _right_ for this all, the user space logger that is reading the kernel messages can actually see the continuation marker. Not that anybody seems to really bother with it (or care), but in theory user space can do its own message stitching. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
