3d1cb2059d workqueue: include workqueue info when printing debug dump of a worker task
One of the problems that arise when converting dedicated custom
threadpool to workqueue is that the shared worker pool used by workqueue
anonimizes each worker making it more difficult to identify what the
worker was doing on which target from the output of sysrq-t or debug
dump from oops, BUG() and friends.

This patch implements set_worker_desc() which can be called from any
workqueue work function to set its description.  When the worker task is
dumped for whatever reason - sysrq-t, WARN, BUG, oops, lockdep assertion
and so on - the description will be printed out together with the
workqueue name and the worker function pointer.

The printing side is implemented by print_worker_info() which is called
from functions in task dump paths - sched_show_task() and
dump_stack_print_info().  print_worker_info() can be safely called on
any task in any state as long as the task struct itself is accessible.
It uses probe_*() functions to access worker fields.  It may print
garbage if something went very wrong, but it wouldn't cause (another)
oops.

The description is currently limited to 24bytes including the
terminating \0.  worker->desc_valid and workder->desc[] are added and
the 64 bytes marker which was already incorrect before adding the new
fields is moved to the correct position.

Here's an example dump with writeback updated to set the bdi name as
worker desc.

a43cb95d54 dump_stack: unify debug information printed by show_regs()
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
information and it's much easier to modify what's printed.

show_regs_print_info() prints out the same debug info as dump_stack()
does plus task and thread_info pointers.

* Archs which didn't print debug info now do.

  alpha, arc, blackfin, c6x, cris, frv, h8300, hexagon, ia64, m32r,
  metag, microblaze, mn10300, openrisc, parisc, score, sh64, sparc,
  um, xtensa

* Already prints debug info.  Replaced with show_regs_print_info().
  The printed information is superset of what used to be there.

  arm, arm64, avr32, mips, powerpc, sh32, tile, unicore32, x86

* 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.

An example BUG() dump follows.

98e5e1bf72 dump_stack: implement arch-specific hardware description in task dumps
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.

An example WARN dump follows.

    Bjorn Helgaas.

196779b9b4 dump_stack: consolidate dump_stack() implementations and unify their behaviors
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.

dc72c32e1f printk: Provide a wake_up_klogd() off-case
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.

* Don't stop tick with irq works pending. This
fix is generally useful and concerns archs that
can't raise self IPIs.

* Flush irq works before CPU offlining.

* Introduce "lazy" irq works that can wait for the
next tick to be executed, unless it's stopped.

* Implement klogd wake up using irq work. This
removes the ad-hoc printk_tick()/printk_needs_cpu()
hooks and make it working even in dynticks mode.

35dac27ced printk: fix incorrect length from print_time() when seconds > 99999
print_prefix() passes a NULL buf to print_time() to get the length of
the time prefix; when printk times are enabled, the current code just
returns the constant 15, which matches the format "[%5lu.%06lu] " used
to print the time value.  However, this is obviously incorrect when the
whole seconds part of the time gets beyond 5 digits (100000 seconds is a
bit more than a day of uptime).

The simple fix is to use snprintf(NULL, 0, ...) to calculate the actual
length of the time prefix.  This could be micro-optimized but it seems
better to have simpler, more readable code here.

The bug leads to the syslog system call miscomputing which messages fit
into the userspace buffer.  If there are enough messages to fill
log_buf_len and some have a timestamp >= 100000, dmesg may fail with:

    # dmesg
    klogctl: Bad address

When this happens, strace shows that the failure is indeed EFAULT due to
the kernel mistakenly accessing past the end of dmesg's buffer, since
dmesg asks the kernel how big a buffer it needs, allocates a bit more,
and then gets an error when it asks the kernel to fill it:

    syslog(0xa, 0, 0)                       = 1048576
    mmap(NULL, 1052672, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x7fa4d25d2000
    syslog(0x3, 0x7fa4d25d2010, 0x100008)   = -1 EFAULT (Bad address)

As far as I can see, the bug has been there as long as print_time(),
which comes from commit 084681d14e ("printk: flush continuation lines
immediately to console") in 3.5-rc5.

The boot_delay parameter affects all printk(), even if the log level
prevents visible output from the call.  It results in delays greater than

74876a98a8 printk: Wake up klogd using irq_work
klogd is woken up asynchronously from the tick in order
to do it safely.

However if printk is called when the tick is stopped, the reader
won't be woken up until the next interrupt, which might not fire
for a while. As a result, the user may miss some message.

To fix this, lets implement the printk tick using a lazy irq work.
This subsystem takes care of the timer tick state and can
fix up accordingly.

6b898c07cb console: use might_sleep in console_lock
Instead of BUG_ON(in_interrupt()), since that doesn't check for all
the newfangled stuff like preempt.

Note that this is valid since the console_sem is essentially used like
a real mutex with only two twists:
- we allow trylock from hardirq context
- across suspend/resume we lock the logical console_lock, but drop the
  semaphore protecting the locking state.

Now that doesn't guarantee that no one is playing tricks in
single-thread atomic contexts at suspend/resume/boot time, but
- I couldn't find anything suspicious with some grepping,
- might_sleep shouldn't die,
- and I think the upside of catching more potential issues is worth
  the risk of getting a might_sleep backtrace that would have been
  save (and then dealing with that fallout).

daee779718 console: implement lockdep support for console_lock
Dave Airlie recently discovered a locking bug in the fbcon layer,
where a timer_del_sync (for the blinking cursor) deadlocks with the
timer itself, since both (want to) hold the console_lock:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/21/36

Unfortunately the console_lock isn't a plain mutex and hence has no
lockdep support. Which resulted in a few days wasted of tracking down
this bug (complicated by the fact that printk doesn't show anything
when the console is locked) instead of noticing the bug much earlier
with the lockdep splat.

Hence I've figured I need to fix that for the next deadlock involving
console_lock - and with kms/drm growing ever more complex locking
that'll eventually happen.

Now the console_lock has rather funky semantics, so after a quick irc
discussion with Thomas Gleixner and Dave Airlie I've quickly ditched
the original idead of switching to a real mutex (since it won't work)
and instead opted to annotate the console_lock with lockdep
information manually.

There are a few special cases:
- The console_lock state is protected by the console_sem, and usually
  grabbed/dropped at _lock/_unlock time. But the suspend/resume code
  drops the semaphore without dropping the console_lock (see
  suspend_console/resume_console). But since the same thread that did
  the suspend will do the resume, we don't need to fix up anything.

- In the printk code there's a special trylock, only used to kick off
  the logbuffer printk'ing in console_unlock. But all that happens
  while lockdep is disable (since printk does a few other evil
  tricks). So no issue there, either.

- The console_lock can also be acquired form irq context (but only
  with a trylock). lockdep already handles that.

This all leaves us with annotating the normal console_lock, _unlock
and _trylock functions.

And yes, it works - simply unloading a drm kms driver resulted in
lockdep complaining about the deadlock in fbcon_deinit:

e3756477ae printk: Fix calculation of length used to discard records
While tracking down a weird buffer overflow issue in a program that
looked to be sane, I started double checking the length returned by
syslog(SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL, ...) to make sure it wasn't overflowing
the buffer.

Sure enough, it was.  I saw this in strace:

  11339 syslog(SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL, "<5>[244017.708129] REISERFS (dev"..., 8192) = 8279

It turns out that the loops that calculate how much space the entries
will take when they're copied don't include the newlines and prefixes
that will be included in the final output since prev flags is passed as
zero.

This patch properly accounts for it and fixes the overflow.

6791457a09 printk: Export struct log size and member offsets through vmcoreinfo
There are tools like makedumpfile and vmcore-dmesg which can extract
kernel log buffer from vmcore. Since we introduced structured logging,
that functionality is broken. Now user space tools need to know about
"struct log" and offsets of various fields to be able to parse struct
log data and extract text message or dictonary.

This patch exports some of the fields.

Currently I am not exporting log "level" info as that is a bitfield and
offsetof() bitfields can't be calculated. But if people start asking for
log level info in the output then we probably either need to seprate
out "level" or use bit shift operations for flags and level.

eab072609e kmsg - do not flush partial lines when the console is busy
Fragments of continuation lines are flushed to the console immediately. In
case the console is locked, the fragment must be queued up in the cont
buffer.

If the the console is busy and the continuation line is complete, but no part
of it was written to the console up to this point, we can just store the
entire line as a regular record and free the buffer earlier.

If the console is busy and earlier messages are already queued up, we
should not flush the fragments of continuation lines, but store them after
the queued up messages, to ensure the proper ordering.

This keeps the console output better readable in case printk()s race against
each other, or we receive over-long continuation lines we need to flush.

cb424ffe9f kmsg: properly handle concurrent non-blocking read() from /proc/kmsg
The /proc/kmsg read() interface is internally simply wired up to a sequence
of syslog() syscalls, which might are racy between their checks and actions,
regarding concurrency.

In the (very uncommon) case of concurrent readers of /dev/kmsg, relying on
usual O_NONBLOCK behavior, the recently introduced mutex might block an
O_NONBLOCK reader in read(), when poll() returns for it, but another process
has already read the data in the meantime. We've seen that while running
artificial test setups and tools that "fight" about /proc/kmsg data.

This restores the original /proc/kmsg behavior, where in case of concurrent
read()s, poll() might wake up but the read() syscall will just return 0 to
the caller, while another process has "stolen" the data.

This is in the general case not the expected behavior, but it is the exact
same one, that can easily be triggered with a 3.4 kernel, and some tools
might just rely on it.

The mutex is not needed, the original integrity issue which introduced it,
is in the meantime covered by:

43a73a50b3 kmsg: add the facility number to the syslog prefix
After the recent split of facility and level into separate variables,
we miss the facility value (always 0 for kernel-originated messages)
in the syslog prefix.

e3f5a5f271 kmsg: escape the backslash character while exporting data
Non-printable characters in the log data are hex-escaped to ensure safe
post processing. We need to escape a backslash we find in the data, to be
able to distinguish it from a backslash we add for the escaping.

Also escape the non-printable character 127.

Thanks to Miloslav Trmac for the heads up.

5c53d819c7 printk: replacing the raw_spin_lock/unlock with raw_spin_lock/unlock_irq
In function devkmsg_read/writev/llseek/poll/open()..., the function
raw_spin_lock/unlock is used, there is potential deadlock case happening.
CPU1: thread1 doing the cat /dev/kmsg:
        raw_spin_lock(&logbuf_lock);
        while (user->seq == log_next_seq) {
when thread1 run here, at this time one interrupt is coming on CPU1 and running
based on this thread,if the interrupt handle called the printk which need the
logbuf_lock spin also, it will cause deadlock.

So we should use raw_spin_lock/unlock_irq here.

d36208227d printk: Optimize if statement logic where newline exists
In reviewing Kay's fix up patch: "printk: Have printk() never buffer its
data", I found two if statements that could be combined and optimized.

Put together the two 'cont.len && cont.owner == current' if statements
into a single one, and check if we need to call cont_add(). This also
removes the unneeded double cont_flush() calls.

084681d14e printk: flush continuation lines immediately to console
Continuation lines are buffered internally, intended to merge the
chunked printk()s into a single record, and to isolate potentially
racy continuation users from usual terminated line users.

This though, has the effect that partial lines are not printed to
the console in the moment they are emitted. In case the kernel
crashes in the meantime, the potentially interesting printed
information would never reach the consoles.

Here we share the continuation buffer with the console copy logic,
and partial lines are always immediately flushed to the available
consoles. They are still buffered internally to improve the
readability and integrity of the messages and minimize the amount
of needed record headers to store.

116e90b23f syslog: fill buffer with more than a single message for SYSLOG_ACTION_READ
The recent changes to the printk buffer management resulted in
SYSLOG_ACTION_READ to only return a single message, whereas previously
the buffer would get filled as much as possible. As, when too small to
fit everything, filling it to the last byte would be pretty ugly with
the new code, the patch arranges for as many messages as possible to
get returned in a single invocation. User space tools in at least all
SLES versions depend on the old behavior.

This at once addresses the issue attempted to get fixed with commit
b56a39ac26 ("printk: return -EINVAL if
the message len is bigger than the buf size"), and since that commit
widened the possibility for losing a message altogether, the patch
here assumes that this other commit would get reverted first
(otherwise the patch here won't apply).

Furthermore, this patch also addresses the problem dealt with in
commit 4a77a5a06e ("printk: use mutex
lock to stop syslog_seq from going wild"), so I'd recommend reverting
that one too (albeit there's no direct collision between the two).

4661e3568a printk: fix regression in SYSLOG_ACTION_CLEAR
Commit 7ff9554bb5 (printk: convert
byte-buffer to variable-length record buffer) introduced a regression
by accidentally removing a "break" statement from inside the big
switch in printk's do_syslog().  The symptom of this bug is that the
"dmesg -C" command doesn't only clear the kernel's log buffer; it also
disables console logging.

This patch (as1561) fixes the regression by adding the missing
"break".

4a77a5a06e printk: use mutex lock to stop syslog_seq from going wild
Although syslog_seq and log_next_seq stuff are protected by logbuf_lock
spin log, it's not enough. Say we have two processes A and B, and let
syslog_seq = N, while log_next_seq = N + 1, and the two processes both
come to syslog_print at almost the same time. And No matter which
process get the spin lock first, it will increase syslog_seq by one,
then release spin lock; thus later, another process increase syslog_seq
by one again. In this case, syslog_seq is bigger than syslog_next_seq.
And latter, it would make:
   wait_event_interruptiable(log_wait, syslog != log_next_seq)
don't wait any more even there is no new write comes. Thus it introduce
a infinite loop reading.

I can easily see this kind of issue by the following steps:
  # cat /proc/kmsg # at meantime, I don't kill rsyslog
                   # So they are the two processes.
  # xinit          # I added drm.debug=6 in the kernel parameter line,
                   # so that it will produce lots of message and let that
                   # issue happen

It's 100% reproducable on my side. And my disk will be filled up by
/var/log/messages in a quite short time.

So, introduce a mutex_lock to stop syslog_seq from going wild just like
what devkmsg_read() does. It does fix this issue as expected.

v2: use mutex_lock_interruptiable() instead (comments from Kay)

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.

6ebb017de9 printk: Fix alignment of buf causing crash on ARM EABI
Commit 7ff9554bb5, printk: convert
byte-buffer to variable-length record buffer, causes systems using
EABI to crash very early in the boot cycle. The first entry in struct
log is a u64, which for EABI must be 8 byte aligned.

Make use of __alignof__() so the compiler to decide the alignment, but
allow it to be overridden using CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS,
for systems which can perform unaligned access and want to save
a few bytes of space.

Tested on Orion5x and Kirkwood.

c313af145b printk() - isolate KERN_CONT users from ordinary complete lines
Arrange the continuation printk() buffering to be fully separated from the
ordinary full line users.

Limit the exposure to races and wrong printk() line merges to users of
continuation only. Ordinary full line users racing against continuation
users will no longer affect each other.

Multiple continuation users from different threads, racing against each
other will not wrongly be merged into a single line, but printed as
separate lines.

Test output of a kernel module which starts two separate threads which
race against each other, one of them printing a single full terminated
line:
  printk("(AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA)\n");

The other one printing the line, every character separate in a
continuation loop:
  printk("(C");
  for (i = 0; i < 58; i++)
          printk(KERN_CONT "C");
  printk(KERN_CONT "C)\n");

Behavior of single and non-thread-aware printk() buffer:
  # modprobe printk-race
  printk test init
  (CC(AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA)
  C(AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA)
  CC(AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA)
  C(AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA)
  CC(AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA)
  C(AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA)
  C(AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA)

  C(AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA)
  C(AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA)
  CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC)
  (CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC)
