      printk: reinstate KERN_CONT for printing continuation lines · 4bcc595c
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Long long ago the kernel log buffer was a buffered stream of bytes, very
      much like stdio in user space.  It supported log levels by scanning the
      stream and noticing the log level markers at the beginning of each line,
      but if you wanted to print a partial line in multiple chunks, you just
      did multiple printk() calls, and it just automatically worked.
      
      Except when it didn't, and you had very confusing output when different
      lines got all mixed up with each other.  Then you got fragment lines
      mixing with each other, or with non-fragment lines, because it was
      traditionally impossible to tell whether a printk() call was a
      continuation or not.
      
      To at least help clarify the issue of continuation lines, we added a
      KERN_CONT marker back in 2007 to mark continuation lines:
      
        47492527 ("printk: add KERN_CONT annotation").
      
      That continuation marker was initially an empty string, and didn't
      actuall make any semantic difference.  But it at least made it possible
      to annotate the source code, and have check-patch notice that a printk()
      didn't need or want a log level marker, because it was a continuation of
      a previous line.
      
      To avoid the ambiguity between a continuation line that had that
      KERN_CONT marker, and a printk with no level information at all, we then
      in 2009 made KERN_CONT be a real log level marker which meant that we
      could now reliably tell the difference between the two cases.
      
        5fd29d6c ("printk: clean up handling of log-levels and newlines")
      
      and we could take advantage of that to make sure we didn't mix up
      continuation lines with lines that just didn't have any loglevel at all.
      
      Then, in 2012, the kernel log buffer was changed to be a "record" based
      log, where each line was a record that has a loglevel and a timestamp.
      
      You can see the beginning of that conversion in commits
      
        e11fea92 ("kmsg: export printk records to the /dev/kmsg interface")
        7ff9554b ("printk: convert byte-buffer to variable-length record buffer")
      
      with a number of follow-up commits to fix some painful fallout from that
      conversion.  Over all, it took a couple of months to sort out most of
      it.  But the upside was that you could have concurrent readers (and
      writers) of the kernel log and not have lines with mixed output in them.
      
      And one particular pain-point for the record-based kernel logging was
      exactly the fragmentary lines that are generated in smaller chunks.  In
      order to still log them as one recrod, the continuation lines need to be
      attached to the previous record properly.
      
      However the explicit continuation record marker that is actually useful
      for this exact case was actually removed in aroundm the same time by commit
      
        61e99ab8 ("printk: remove the now unnecessary "C" annotation for KERN_CONT")
      
      due to the incorrect belief that KERN_CONT wasn't meaningful.  The
      ambiguity between "is this a continuation line" or "is this a plain
      printk with no log level information" was reintroduced, and in fact
      became an even bigger pain point because there was now the whole
      record-level merging of kernel messages going on.
      
      This patch reinstates the KERN_CONT as a real non-empty string marker,
      so that the ambiguity is fixed once again.
      
      But it's not a plain revert of that original removal: in the four years
      since we made KERN_CONT an empty string again, not only has the format
      of the log level markers changed, we've also had some usage changes in
      this area.
      
      For example, some ACPI code seems to use KERN_CONT _together_ with a log
      level, and now uses both the KERN_CONT marker and (for example) a
      KERN_INFO marker to show that it's an informational continuation of a
      line.
      
      Which is actually not a bad idea - if the continuation line cannot be
      attached to its predecessor, without the log level information we don't
      know what log level to assign to it (and we traditionally just assigned
      it the default loglevel).  So having both a log level and the KERN_CONT
      marker is not necessarily a bad idea, but it does mean that we need to
      actually iterate over potentially multiple markers, rather than just a
      single one.
      
      Also, since KERN_CONT was still conceptually needed, and encouraged, but
      didn't actually _do_ anything, we've also had the reverse problem:
      rather than having too many annotations it has too few, and there is bit
      rot with code that no longer marks the continuation lines with the
      KERN_CONT marker.
      
      So this patch not only re-instates the non-empty KERN_CONT marker, it
      also fixes up the cases of bit-rot I noticed in my own logs.
      
      There are probably other cases where KERN_CONT will be needed to be
      added, either because it is new code that never dealt with the need for
      KERN_CONT, or old code that has bitrotted without anybody noticing.
      
      That said, we should strive to avoid the need for KERN_CONT.  It does
      result in real problems for logging, and should generally not be seen as
      a good feature.  If we some day can get rid of the feature entirely,
      because nobody does any fragmented printk calls, that would be lovely.
      
      But until that point, let's at mark the code that relies on the hacky
      multi-fragment kernel printk's.  Not only does it avoid the ambiguity,
      it also annotates code as "maybe this would be good to fix some day".
      
      (That said, particularly during single-threaded bootup, the downsides of
      KERN_CONT are very limited.  Things get much hairier when you have
      multiple threads going on and user level reading and writing logs too).

      printk/nmi: flush NMI messages on the system panic · cf9b1106
      Petr Mladek 提交于
      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 NMI · 42a0bb3f
      Petr Mladek 提交于
      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 a9edc880 ("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

      include, lib: add __printf attributes to several function prototypes · 8db14860
      Nicolas Iooss 提交于
      Using __printf attributes helps to detect several format string issues
      at compile time (even though -Wformat-security is currently disabled in
      Makefile).  For example it can detect when formatting a pointer as a
      number, like the issue fixed in commit a3fa71c4 ("wl18xx: show
      rx_frames_per_rates as an array as it really is"), or when the arguments
      do not match the format string, c.f.  for example commit 5ce1aca8
      ("reiserfs: fix __RASSERT format string").
      
      To prevent similar bugs in the future, add a __printf attribute to every
      function prototype which needs one in include/linux/ and lib/.  These
      functions were mostly found by using gcc's -Wsuggest-attribute=format
      flag.

      printk: guard the amount written per line by devkmsg_read() · d43ff430
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      This patchset updates netconsole so that it can emit messages with the
      same header as used in /dev/kmsg which gives neconsole receiver full log
      information which enables things like structured logging and detection
      of lost messages.
      
      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.

      The naming scheme used is different from the one used for

      dump_stack: unify debug information printed by show_regs() · a43cb95d
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      show_regs() is inherently arch-dependent but it does make sense to print
      generic debug information and some archs already do albeit in slightly
      different forms.  This patch introduces a generic function to print debug
      information from show_regs() so that different archs print out the same

      * s390 is special in that it used to print arch-specific information
        along with generic debug info.  Heiko and Martin think that the
        arch-specific extra isn't worth keeping s390 specfic implementation.
        Converted to use the generic version.
      
      Note that now all archs print the debug info before actual register
      dumps.

      dump_stack: implement arch-specific hardware description in task dumps · 98e5e1bf
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      x86 and ia64 can acquire extra hardware identification information
      from DMI and print it along with task dumps; however, the usage isn't
      consistent.
      
      * x86 show_regs() collects vendor, product and board strings and print
        them out with PID, comm and utsname.  Some of the information is
        printed again later in the same dump.
      
      * warn_slowpath_common() explicitly accesses the DMI board and prints
        it out with "Hardware name:" label.  This applies to both x86 and
        ia64 but is irrelevant on all other archs.
      
      * ia64 doesn't show DMI information on other non-WARN dumps.
      
      This patch introduces arch-specific hardware description used by
      dump_stack().  It can be set by calling dump_stack_set_arch_desc()
      during boot and, if exists, printed out in a separate line with
      "Hardware name:" label.
      
      dmi_set_dump_stack_arch_desc() is added which sets arch-specific
      description from DMI data.  It uses dmi_ids_string[] which is set from
      dmi_present() used for DMI debug message.  It is superset of the
      information x86 show_regs() is using.  The function is called from x86
      and ia64 boot code right after dmi_scan_machine().
      
      This makes the explicit DMI handling in warn_slowpath_common()
      unnecessary.  Removed.
      
      show_regs() isn't yet converted to use generic debug information
      printing and this patch doesn't remove the duplicate DMI handling in
      x86 show_regs().  The next patch will unify show_regs() handling and
      remove the duplication.

      dump_stack: consolidate dump_stack() implementations and unify their behaviors · 196779b9
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Both dump_stack() and show_stack() are currently implemented by each
      architecture.  show_stack(NULL, NULL) dumps the backtrace for the
      current task as does dump_stack().  On some archs, dump_stack() prints
      extra information - pid, utsname and so on - in addition to the
      backtrace while the two are identical on other archs.
      
      The usages in arch-independent code of the two functions indicate
      show_stack(NULL, NULL) should print out bare backtrace while
      dump_stack() is used for debugging purposes when something went wrong,
      so it does make sense to print additional information on the task which
      triggered dump_stack().
      
      There's no reason to require archs to implement two separate but mostly
      identical functions.  It leads to unnecessary subtle information.
      
      This patch expands the dummy fallback dump_stack() implementation in
      lib/dump_stack.c such that it prints out debug information (taken from
      x86) and invokes show_stack(NULL, NULL) and drops arch-specific
      dump_stack() implementations in all archs except blackfin.  Blackfin's
      dump_stack() does something wonky that I don't understand.
      
      Debug information can be printed separately by calling
      dump_stack_print_info() so that arch-specific dump_stack()
      implementation can still emit the same debug information.  This is used
      in blackfin.
      
      This patch brings the following behavior changes.
      
      * On some archs, an extra level in backtrace for show_stack() could be
        printed.  This is because the top frame was determined in
        dump_stack() on those archs while generic dump_stack() can't do that
        reliably.  It can be compensated by inlining dump_stack() but not
        sure whether that'd be necessary.
      
      * Most archs didn't use to print debug info on dump_stack().  They do
        now.
      
      An example WARN dump follows.

      v2: CPU number added to the generic debug info as requested by s390
          folks and dropped the s390 specific dump_stack().  This loses %ksp
          from the debug message which the maintainers think isn't important
          enough to keep the s390-specific dump_stack() implementation.
      
          dump_stack_print_info() is moved to kernel/printk.c from
          lib/dump_stack.c.  Because linkage is per objecct file,
          dump_stack_print_info() living in the same lib file as generic
          dump_stack() means that archs which implement custom dump_stack()
          - at this point, only blackfin - can't use dump_stack_print_info()
          as that will bring in the generic version of dump_stack() too.  v1
          The v1 patch broke build on blackfin due to this issue.  The build
          breakage was reported by Fengguang Wu.

      printk: Provide a wake_up_klogd() off-case · dc72c32e
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      wake_up_klogd() is useless when CONFIG_PRINTK=n because neither printk()
      nor printk_sched() are in use and there are actually no waiter on
      log_wait waitqueue.  It should be a stub in this case for users like
      bust_spinlocks().
      
      Otherwise this results in this warning when CONFIG_PRINTK=n and
      CONFIG_IRQ_WORK=n:
      
      	kernel/built-in.o In function `wake_up_klogd':
      	(.text.wake_up_klogd+0xb4): undefined reference to `irq_work_queue'
      
      To fix this, provide an off-case for wake_up_klogd() when
      CONFIG_PRINTK=n.
      
      There is much more from console_unlock() and other console related code
      in printk.c that should be moved under CONFIG_PRINTK.  But for now,
      focus on a minimal fix as we passed the merged window already.
