* printk: Implement some unlocked kmsg_dump functionsAnton Vorontsov2012-07-211-0/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | If used from KDB, the locked variants are prone to deadlocks (suppose we got to the debugger w/ the logbuf lock held). So, we have to implement a few routines that grab no logbuf lock. Yet we don't need these functions in modules, so we don't export them.

* kmsg - kmsg_dump() use iterator to receive log buffer contentKay Sievers2012-06-151-7/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Provide an iterator to receive the log buffer content, and convert all kmsg_dump() users to it. The structured data in the kmsg buffer now contains binary data, which should no longer be copied verbatim to the kmsg_dump() users. The iterator should provide reliable access to the buffer data, and also supports proper log line-aware chunking of data while iterating.

* kmsg_dump: don't run on non-error paths by defaultMatthew Garrett2012-03-051-2/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since commit 04c6862c055f ("kmsg_dump: add kmsg_dump() calls to the reboot, halt, poweroff and emergency_restart paths"), kmsg_dump() gets run on normal paths including poweroff and reboot. This is less than ideal given pstore implementations that can only represent single backtraces, since a reboot may overwrite a stored oops before it's been picked up by userspace. In addition, some pstore backends may have low performance and provide a significant delay in reboot as a result. This patch adds a printk.always_kmsg_dump kernel parameter (which can also be changed from userspace). Without it, the code will only be run on failure paths rather than on normal paths. The option can be enabled in environments where there's a desire to attempt to audit whether or not a reboot was cleanly requested or not.

* kexec: remove KMSG_DUMP_KEXECWANG Cong2012-01-121-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | KMSG_DUMP_KEXEC is useless because we already save kernel messages inside /proc/vmcore, and it is unsafe to allow modules to do other stuffs in a crash dump scenario.

* kmsg_dump: add kmsg_dump() calls to the reboot, halt, poweroff and ↵Seiji Aguchi2011-01-131-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | emergency_restart paths We need to know the reason why system rebooted in support service. However, we can't inform our customers of the reason because final messages are lost on current Linux kernel. This patch improves the situation above because the final messages are saved by adding kmsg_dump() to reboot, halt, poweroff and emergency_restart path.

* kmsg_dump: Dump on crash_kexec as wellKOSAKI Motohiro2009-12-311-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | crash_kexec gets called before kmsg_dump(KMSG_DUMP_OOPS) if panic_on_oops is set, so the kernel log buffer is not stored for this case. This patch adds a KMSG_DUMP_KEXEC dump type which gets called when crash_kexec() is invoked. To avoid getting double dumps, the old KMSG_DUMP_PANIC is moved below crash_kexec(). The mtdoops driver is modified to handle KMSG_DUMP_KEXEC in the same way as a panic.

* core: Add kernel message dumper to call on oopses and panicsSimon Kagstrom2009-11-301-0/+44
The core functionality is implemented as per Linus suggestion from http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2009-October/027620.html (with the kmsg_dump implementation by Linus). A struct kmsg_dumper has been added which contains a callback to dump the kernel log buffers on crashes. The kmsg_dump function gets called from oops_exit() and panic() and invokes this callbacks with the crash reason.
