* printk/nmi: avoid direct printk()-s from __printk_nmi_flush()Sergey Senozhatsky2016-09-011-15/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | __printk_nmi_flush() can be called from nmi_panic(), therefore it has to test whether it's executed in NMI context and thus must route the messages through deferred printk() or via direct printk(). This is to avoid potential deadlocks, as described in commit cf9b1106c81c ("printk/nmi: flush NMI messages on the system panic"). However there remain two places where __printk_nmi_flush() does unconditional direct printk() calls: - pr_err("printk_nmi_flush: internal error ...") - pr_cont("\n") Factor out print_nmi_seq_line() parts into a new printk_nmi_flush_line() function, which takes care of in_nmi(), and use it in __printk_nmi_flush() for printing and error-reporting.

* printk: fix parsing of "brl=" optionNicolas Iooss2016-08-261-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit bbeddf52adc1 ("printk: move braille console support into separate braille.[ch] files") moved the parsing of braille-related options into _braille_console_setup(), changing the type of variable str from char* to char**. In this commit, memcmp(str, "brl,", 4) was correctly updated to memcmp(*str, "brl,", 4) but not memcmp(str, "brl=", 4). Update the code to make "brl=" option work again and replace memcmp() with strncmp() to make the compiler able to detect such an issue.

* Revert "printk: create pr_<level> functions"Linus Torvalds2016-08-093-43/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 874f9c7da9a4acbc1b9e12ca722579fb50e4d142. Geert Uytterhoeven reports: "This change seems to have an (unintendent?) side-effect. Before, pr_*() calls without a trailing newline characters would be printed with a newline character appended, both on the console and in the output of the dmesg command. After this commit, no new line character is appended, and the output of the next pr_*() call of the same type may be appended, like in: - Truncating RAM at 0x0000000040000000-0x00000000c0000000 to -0x0000000070000000 - Ignoring RAM at 0x0000000200000000-0x0000000240000000 (!CONFIG_HIGHMEM) + Truncating RAM at 0x0000000040000000-0x00000000c0000000 to -0x0000000070000000Ignoring RAM at 0x0000000200000000-0x0000000240000000 (!CONFIG_HIGHMEM)" Joe Perches says: "No, that is not intentional.

* printk: Remove unnecessary #ifdef CONFIG_PRINTKAndreas Ziegler2016-08-081-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 874f9c7da9a4 ("printk: create pr_<level> functions"), new pr_level defines were added to printk.c. These new defines are guarded by an #ifdef CONFIG_PRINTK - however, there is already a surrounding #ifdef CONFIG_PRINTK starting a lot earlier in line 249 which means the newly introduced #ifdef is unnecessary. Let's remove it to avoid confusion.

* printk: add kernel parameter to control writes to /dev/kmsgBorislav Petkov2016-08-021-8/+134
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a "printk.devkmsg" kernel command line parameter which controls how userspace writes into /dev/kmsg. It has three options: * ratelimit - ratelimit logging from userspace. * on - unlimited logging from userspace * off - logging from userspace gets ignored The default setting is to ratelimit the messages written to it. This changes the kernel default setting of "on" to "ratelimit" and we do that because we want to keep userspace spamming /dev/kmsg to sane levels. This is especially moot when a small kernel log buffer wraps around and messages get lost. So the ratelimiting setting should be a sane setting where kernel messages should have a bit higher chance of survival from all the spamming. It additionally does not limit logging to /dev/kmsg while the system is booting if we haven't disabled it on the command line. Furthermore, we can control the logging from a lower priority sysctl interface - kernel.printk_devkmsg. That interface will succeed only if printk.devkmsg *hasn't* been supplied on the command line. If it has, then printk.devkmsg is a one-time setting which remains for the duration of the system lifetime. This "locking" of the setting is to prevent userspace from changing the logging on us through sysctl(2). This patch is based on previous patches from Linus and Steven.

* printk: introduce suppress_message_printing()Sergey Senozhatsky2016-08-021-6/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Messages' levels and console log level are inspected when the actual printing occurs, which may provoke console_unlock() and console_cont_flush() to waste CPU cycles on every message that has loglevel above the current console_loglevel. Schematically, console_unlock() does the following: console_unlock() { ... for (;;) { ... raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&logbuf_lock, flags); skip: msg = log_from_idx(console_idx); if (msg->flags & LOG_NOCONS) { ... goto skip; } level = msg->level; len += msg_print_text(); >> sprintfs memcpy, etc. if (nr_ext_console_drivers) { ext_len = msg_print_ext_header(); >> scnprintf ext_len += msg_print_ext_body(); >> scnprintfs etc. } ... raw_spin_unlock(&logbuf_lock); call_console_drivers(level, ext_text, ext_len, text, len) { if (level >= console_loglevel && >> drop the message !ignore_loglevel) return; console->write(...); } local_irq_restore(flags); } ... } The thing here is this deferred `level >= console_loglevel' check. We are wasting CPU cycles on sprintfs/memcpy/etc. preparing the messages that we will eventually drop. This can be huge when we register a new CON_PRINTBUFFER console, for instance. For every such a console register_console() resets the console_seq, console_idx, console_prev and sets a `exclusive console' pointer to replay the log buffer to that just-registered console. And there can be a lot of messages to replay, in the worst case most of which can be dropped after console_loglevel test. We know messages' levels long before we call msg_print_text() and friends, so we can just move console_loglevel check out of call_console_drivers() and format a new message only if we are sure that it won't be dropped. The patch factors out loglevel check into suppress_message_printing() function and tests message->level and console_loglevel before formatting functions in console_unlock() and console_cont_flush() are getting executed. This improves things not only for exclusive CON_PRINTBUFFER consoles, but for every console_unlock() that attempts to print a message of level above the console_loglevel.

* printk/nmi: flush NMI messages on the system panicPetr Mladek2016-05-203-2/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In NMI context, printk() messages are stored into per-CPU buffers to avoid a possible deadlock. They are normally flushed to the main ring buffer via an IRQ work. But the work is never called when the system calls panic() in the very same NMI handler. This patch tries to flush NMI buffers before the crash dump is generated. In this case it does not risk a double release and bails out when the logbuf_lock is already taken. The aim is to get the messages into the main ring buffer when possible. It makes them better accessible in the vmcore. Then the patch tries to flush the buffers second time when other CPUs are down. It might be more aggressive and reset logbuf_lock. The aim is to get the messages available for the consequent kmsg_dump() and console_flush_on_panic() calls. The patch causes vprintk_emit() to be called even in NMI context again. But it is done via printk_deferred() so that the console handling is skipped. Consoles use internal locks and we could not prevent a deadlock easily. They are explicitly called later when the crash dump is not generated, see console_flush_on_panic().

* printk/nmi: generic solution for safe printk in NMIPetr Mladek2016-05-204-18/+265
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | printk() takes some locks and could not be used a safe way in NMI context. The chance of a deadlock is real especially when printing stacks from all CPUs. This particular problem has been addressed on x86 by the commit a9edc8809328 ("x86/nmi: Perform a safe NMI stack trace on all CPUs"). The patchset brings two big advantages. First, it makes the NMI backtraces safe on all architectures for free. Second, it makes all NMI messages almost safe on all architectures (the temporary buffer is limited. We still should keep the number of messages in NMI context at minimum). Note that there already are several messages printed in NMI context: WARN_ON(in_nmi()), BUG_ON(in_nmi()), anything being printed out from MCE handlers. These are not easy to avoid. This patch reuses most of the code and makes it generic. It is useful for all messages and architectures that support NMI. The alternative printk_func is set when entering and is reseted when leaving NMI context. It queues IRQ work to copy the messages into the main ring buffer in a safe context. __printk_nmi_flush() copies all available messages and reset the buffer. Then we could use a simple cmpxchg operations to get synchronized with writers. There is also used a spinlock to get synchronized with other flushers. We do not longer use seq_buf because it depends on external lock. It would be hard to make all supported operations safe for a lockless use. It would be confusing and error prone to make only some operations safe. The code is put into separate printk/nmi.c as suggested by Steven Rostedt. It needs a per-CPU buffer and is compiled only on architectures that call nmi_enter(). This is achieved by the new HAVE_NMI Kconfig flag. The are MN10300 and Xtensa architectures. We need to clean up NMI handling there first. Let's do it separately. The patch is heavily based on the draft from Peter Zijlstra, see https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/6/10/327 [arnd@arndb.de: printk-nmi: use %zu format string for size_t] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: min_t->min - all types are size_t here] Signed-off-by: Petr Mladek <pmladek@suse.com> Suggested-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Suggested-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Acked-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk> [arm part] Cc: Daniel Thompson <daniel.thompson@linaro.org> Cc: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Cc: Daniel Thompson <daniel.thompson@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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").

* 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* 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.

This patch (of 7): devkmsg_read() uses 8k buffer and assumes that the formatted output message won't overrun which seems safe given LOG_LINE_MAX, the current use of dict and the escaping method being used; however, we're planning to use devkmsg formatting wider and accounting for the buffer size properly isn't that complicated. This patch defines CONSOLE_EXT_LOG_MAX as 8192 and updates devkmsg_read() so that it limits output accordingly.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| * printk/percpu: Define printk_func when printk is not definedSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2014-11-211-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To avoid include hell, the per_cpu variable printk_func was declared in percpu.h. But it is only defined if printk is defined. As users of printk may also use the printk_func variable, it needs to be defined even if CONFIG_PRINTK is not. Also add a printk.h include in percpu.h just to be safe.

| * printk: Add per_cpu printk func to allow printk to be divertedSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2014-11-191-9/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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().

| * | printk: drop logbuf_cpu volatile qualifierAlex Elder2014-12-101-1/+1

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.
