2009-04-02kexec: add dmesg log symbols to /proc/vmcoreinfo listsNeil Horman1-0/+19
It would be nice to be able to extract the dmesg log from a vmcore file without needing to keep the debug symbols for the running kernel handy all the time. We have a facility to do this in /proc/vmcore. This patch adds the log_buf and log_end symbols to the vmcoreinfo area so that tools (like makedumpfile) can easily extract the dmesg logs from a vmcore image.

2009-02-21PM: Fix suspend_console and resume_console to use only one semaphoreArve Hjønnevåg1-6/+9
This fixes a race where a thread acquires the console while the console is suspended, and the console is resumed before this thread releases it. In this case, the secondary console semaphore would be left locked, and the primary semaphore would be released twice. This in turn would cause the console switch on suspend or resume to hang forever. Note that suspend_console does not actually lock the console for clients that use acquire_console_sem, it only locks it for clients that use try_acquire_console_sem. If we change suspend_console to fully lock the console, then the kernel may deadlock on suspend. One client of try_acquire_console_sem is acquire_console_semaphore_for_printk, which uses it to prevent printk from using the console while it is suspended.

2008-05-27xen: Enable console tty by default in domU if it's not a dummyMarkus Armbruster1-0/+3
Without console= arguments on the kernel command line, the first console to register becomes enabled and the preferred console (the one behind /dev/console). This is normally tty (assuming CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is enabled, which it commonly is). This is okay as long tty is a useful console. But unless we have the PV framebuffer, and it is enabled for this domain, tty0 in domU is merely a dummy. In that case, we want the preferred console to be the Xen console hvc0, and we want it without having to fiddle with the kernel command line. Commit b8c2d3dfbc117dff26058fbac316b8acfc2cb5f7 did that for us. Since we now have the PV framebuffer, we want to enable and prefer tty again, but only when PVFB is enabled. But even then we still want to enable the Xen console as well. Problem: when tty registers, we can't yet know whether the PVFB is enabled. By the time we can know (xenstore is up), the console setup game is over. Solution: enable console tty by default, but keep hvc as the preferred console. Change the preferred console to tty when PVFB probes successfully, unless we've been given console kernel parameters.

2008-05-24printk: don't prefer unsuited consoles on registrationJan Kiszka1-2/+5
console election: If some console happens to be registered first which does not provide a tty binding (!console->device), it prevents that more suited consoles which are registered later on can enter the candidate pool for console_device(). This is observable with KGDB's console which may already be registered (and exploited!) during early debugger connections, that is before any regular console registration. This patch fixes the issue by postponing the final, automated preferred_console selection until someone with a non-NULL device handler comes around.

This patch adds latency tracing for critical timings (how long interrupts are disabled for). "irqsoff" is added to /debugfs/tracing/available_tracers Note: tracing_max_latency also holds the max latency for irqsoff (in usecs). (default to large number so one must start latency tracing) tracing_thresh threshold (in usecs) to always print out if irqs off is detected to be longer than stated here. If irq_thresh is non-zero, then max_irq_latency is ignored.

2008-04-30Basic braille screen reader supportSamuel Thibault1-24/+66
This adds a minimalistic braille screen reader support. This is meant to be used by blind people e.g. on boot failures or when / cannot be mounted etc and thus the userland screen readers can not work.

2008-04-30tty: The big operations reworkAlan Cox1-2/+2
- Operations are now a shared const function block as with most other Linux objects - Introduce wrappers for some optional functions to get consistent behaviour - Wrap put_char which used to be patched by the tty layer - Document which functions are needed/optional - Make put_char report success/fail - Cache the driver->ops pointer in the tty as tty->ops - Remove various surplus lock calls we no longer need - Remove proc_write method as noted by Alexey Dobriyan - Introduce some missing sanity checks where certain driver/ldisc combinations would oops as they didn't check needed methods were present [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix fs/compat_ioctl.c build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix isicom] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix arch/ia64/hp/sim/simserial.c build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix kgdb] Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de> Cc: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-04-29isolate ratelimit from printk.c for other useDave Young1-25/+1
Due to the rcupreempt.h WARN_ON trigged, I got 2G syslog file. For some serious complaining of kernel, we need repeat the warnings, so here I isolate the ratelimit part of printk.c to a standalone file.

2008-04-15Fix locking bug in "acquire_console_semaphore_for_printk()"Linus Torvalds1-2/+15
When I cleaned up printk() and split up the printk locking logic in commit 266c2e0abeca649fa6667a1a427ad1da507c6375 ("Make printk() console semaphore accesses sensible") I had incorrectly moved the call to have_callable_console() outside of the console semaphore. That was buggy. The console semaphore protects the console_drivers list that is used by have_callable_console(). Thanks go to Bongani Hlope who saw this as a hang on shutdown and reboot and bisected the bug to the right commit, and tested this patch.

2008-03-24Make printk() console semaphore accesses sensibleLinus Torvalds1-35/+48
The printk() logic on when/how to get the console semaphore was unreadable, this splits the code up into a few helper functions and makes it easier to follow what is going on. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-02-26printk: fix possible printk overrunTejun Heo1-1/+1
printk recursion detection prepends message to printk_buf and offsets printk_buf when actual message is printed but it forgets to trim buffer length accordingly. This can result in overrun in extreme cases. Fix it.

2008-02-06printk.c: use unsigned ints instead of longs for logbuf indexDenys Vlasenko1-18/+18
Stop using unsigned _longs_ for printk buffer indexes. Log buffer is way smaller than 2 gigabytes and unsigned ints will work too . Indeed, they do work nicely on all 32-bit platforms where longs and ints are the same.

printk timestamps: use ktime_get(). Some platforms have a functioning clocksource function only after they are done with early bootup, so delay this until out of SYSTEM_BOOTING state. it's also inherently safe now, as any bugs in this area will be caught by the printk recursion checks.
