git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk Pull printk fix from Petr Mladek: "Make sure that we wake up userspace loggers. This fixes a race introduced by the console waiter logic during this merge window" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk: printk: Wake klogd when passing console_lock owner
2018-02-27printk: Wake klogd when passing console_lock ownerPetr Mladek1-1/+2
wake_klogd is a local variable in console_unlock(). The information is lost when the console_lock owner using the busy wait added by the commit dbdda842fe96f8932 ("printk: Add console owner and waiter logic to load balance console writes"). The following race is possible: CPU0 CPU1 console_unlock() for (;;) /* calling console for last message */ printk() log_store() log_next_seq++; /* see new message */ if (seen_seq != log_next_seq) { wake_klogd = true; seen_seq = log_next_seq; } console_lock_spinning_enable(); if (console_trylock_spinning()) /* spinning */ if (console_lock_spinning_disable_and_check()) { printk_safe_exit_irqrestore(flags); return; console_unlock() if (seen_seq != log_next_seq) { /* already seen */ /* nothing to do */ Result: Nobody would wakeup klogd. One solution would be to make a global variable from wake_klogd. But then we would need to manipulate it under a lock or so. This patch wakes klogd also when console_lock is passed to the spinning waiter. It looks like the right way to go. Also userspace should have a chance to see and store any "flood" of messages. Note that the very late klogd wake up was a historic solution. It made sense on single CPU systems or when sys_syslog() operations were synchronized using the big kernel lock like in v2.1.113. But it is questionable these days.

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL* variables as described by Al, done by this script: for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'` for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\<POLL$V\>\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done done with de-mangling cleanups yet to come. NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same values as the POLL* constants do. But they keyword here is "almost". For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al. The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we should be all done. Scripted-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek: - Add a console_msg_format command line option: The value "default" keeps the old "[time stamp] text\n" format. The value "syslog" allows to see the syslog-like "<log level>[timestamp] text" format. This feature was requested by people doing regression tests, for example, 0day robot. They want to have both filtered and full logs at hands. - Reduce the risk of softlockup: Pass the console owner in a busy loop. This is a new approach to the old problem. It was first proposed by Steven Rostedt on Kernel Summit 2017. It marks a context in which the console_lock owner calls console drivers and could not sleep. On the other side, printk() callers could detect this state and use a busy wait instead of a simple console_trylock(). Finally, the console_lock owner checks if there is a busy waiter at the end of the special context and eventually passes the console_lock to the waiter. The hand-off works surprisingly well and helps in many situations. Well, there is still a possibility of the softlockup, for example, when the flood of messages stops and the last owner still has too much to flush. There is increasing number of people having problems with printk-related softlockups. We might eventually need to get better solution. Anyway, this looks like a good start and promising direction. - Do not allow to schedule in console_unlock() called from printk(): This reverts an older controversial commit. The reschedule helped to avoid softlockups. But it also slowed down the console output. This patch is obsoleted by the new console waiter logic described above. In fact, the reschedule made the hand-off less effective. - Deprecate "%pf" and "%pF" format specifier: It was needed on ia64, ppc64 and parisc64 to dereference function descriptors and show the real function address. It is done transparently by "%ps" and "pS" format specifier now. Sergey Senozhatsky found that all the function descriptors were in a special elf section and could be easily detected. - Remove printk_symbol() API: It has been obsoleted by "%pS" format specifier, and this change helped to remove few continuous lines and a less intuitive old API. - Remove redundant memsets: Sergey removed unnecessary memset when processing printk.devkmsg command line option. * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk: (27 commits) printk: drop redundant devkmsg_log_str memsets printk: Never set console_may_schedule in console_trylock() printk: Hide console waiter logic into helpers printk: Add console owner and waiter logic to load balance console writes kallsyms: remove print_symbol() function checkpatch: add pF/pf deprecation warning symbol lookup: introduce dereference_symbol_descriptor() parisc64: Add .opd based function descriptor dereference powerpc64: Add .opd based function descriptor dereference ia64: Add .opd based function descriptor dereference sections: split dereference_function_descriptor() openrisc: Fix conflicting types for _exext and _stext lib: do not use print_symbol() irq debug: do not use print_symbol() sysfs: do not use print_symbol() drivers: do not use print_symbol() x86: do not use print_symbol() unicore32: do not use print_symbol() sh: do not use print_symbol() mn10300: do not use print_symbol() ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs Pull poll annotations from Al Viro: "This introduces a __bitwise type for POLL### bitmap, and propagates the annotations through the tree. Most of that stuff is as simple as 'make ->poll() instances return __poll_t and do the same to local variables used to hold the future return value'. Some of the obvious brainos found in process are fixed (e.g. POLLIN misspelled as POLL_IN). At that point the amount of sparse warnings is low and most of them are for genuine bugs - e.g. ->poll() instance deciding to return -EINVAL instead of a bitmap. I hadn't touched those in this series - it's large enough as it is. Another problem it has caught was eventpoll() ABI mess; select.c and eventpoll.c assumed that corresponding POLL### and EPOLL### were equal. That's true for some, but not all of them - EPOLL### are arch-independent, but POLL### are not. The last commit in this series separates userland POLL### values from the (now arch-independent) kernel-side ones, converting between them in the few places where they are copied to/from userland. AFAICS, this is the least disruptive fix preserving poll(2) ABI and making epoll() work on all architectures. As it is, it's simply broken on sparc - try to give it EPOLLWRNORM and it will trigger only on what would've triggered EPOLLWRBAND on other architectures.

2018-01-16printk: Never set console_may_schedule in console_trylock()Sergey Senozhatsky1-14/+8
This patch, basically, reverts commit 6b97a20d3a79 ("printk: set may_schedule for some of console_trylock() callers"). That commit was a mistake, it introduced a big dependency on the scheduler, by enabling preemption under console_sem in printk()->console_unlock() path, which is rather too critical. The patch did not significantly reduce the possibilities of printk() lockups, but made it possible to stall printk(), as has been reported by Tetsuo Handa [1]. Another issues is that preemption under console_sem also messes up with Steven Rostedt's hand off scheme, by making it possible to sleep with console_sem both in console_unlock() and in vprintk_emit(), after acquiring the console_sem ownership (anywhere between printk_safe_exit_irqrestore() in console_trylock_spinning() and printk_safe_enter_irqsave() in console_unlock()). This makes hand off less likely and, at the same time, may result in a significant amount of pending logbuf messages. Preempted console_sem owner makes it impossible for other CPUs to emit logbuf messages, but does not make it impossible for other CPUs to append new messages to the logbuf. Reinstate the old behavior and make printk() non-preemptible. Should any printk() lockup reports arrive they must be handled in a different way.

2018-01-16printk: Add console owner and waiter logic to load balance console writesSteven Rostedt (VMware)1-1/+107
This patch implements what I discussed in Kernel Summit. I added lockdep annotation (hopefully correctly), and it hasn't had any splats (since I fixed some bugs in the first iterations). It did catch problems when I had the owner covering too much. But now that the owner is only set when actively calling the consoles, lockdep has stayed quiet. Here's the design again: I added a "console_owner" which is set to a task that is actively writing to the consoles. It is *not* the same as the owner of the console_lock. It is only set when doing the calls to the console functions. It is protected by a console_owner_lock which is a raw spin lock. There is a console_waiter. This is set when there is an active console owner that is not current, and waiter is not set. This too is protected by console_owner_lock. In printk() when it tries to write to the consoles, we have: if (console_trylock()) console_unlock(); Now I added an else, which will check if there is an active owner, and no current waiter. If that is the case, then console_waiter is set, and the task goes into a spin until it is no longer set. When the active console owner finishes writing the current message to the consoles, it grabs the console_owner_lock and sees if there is a waiter, and clears console_owner. If there is a waiter, then it breaks out of the loop, clears the waiter flag (because that will release the waiter from its spin), and exits. Note, it does *not* release the console semaphore. Because it is a semaphore, there is no owner. Another task may release it. This means that the waiter is guaranteed to be the new console owner! Which it becomes. Then the waiter calls console_unlock() and continues to write to the consoles. If another task comes along and does a printk() it too can become the new waiter, and we wash rinse and repeat! By Petr Mladek about possible new deadlocks: The thing is that we move console_sem only to printk() call that normally calls console_unlock() as well. It means that the transferred owner should not bring new type of dependencies. As Steven said somewhere: "If there is a deadlock, it was there even before." We could look at it from this side. The possible deadlock would look like: CPU0 CPU1 console_unlock() console_owner = current; spin_lockA() printk() spin = true; while (...) call_console_drivers() spin_lockA() This would be a deadlock. CPU0 would wait for the lock A. While CPU1 would own the lockA and would wait for CPU0 to finish calling the console drivers and pass the console_sem owner. But if the above is true than the following scenario was already possible before: CPU0 spin_lockA() printk() console_unlock() call_console_drivers() spin_lockA() By other words, this deadlock was there even before. Such deadlocks are prevented by using printk_deferred() in the sections guarded by the lock A. By Steven Rostedt: To demonstrate the issue, this module has been shown to lock up a system with 4 CPUs and a slow console (like a serial console). It is also able to lock up a 8 CPU system with only a fast (VGA) console, by passing in "loops=100". The changes in this commit prevent this module from locking up the system. #include <linux/module.h> #include <linux/delay.h> #include <linux/sched.h> #include <linux/mutex.h> #include <linux/workqueue.h> #include <linux/hrtimer.h> static bool stop_testing; static unsigned int loops = 1; static void preempt_printk_workfn(struct work_struct *work) { int i; while (!READ_ONCE(stop_testing)) { for (i = 0; i < loops && !READ_ONCE(stop_testing); i++) { preempt_disable(); pr_emerg("%5d%-75s\n", smp_processor_id(), " XXX NOPREEMPT"); preempt_enable(); } msleep(1); } } static struct work_struct __percpu *works; static void finish(void) { int cpu; WRITE_ONCE(stop_testing, true); for_each_online_cpu(cpu) flush_work(per_cpu_ptr(works, cpu)); free_percpu(works); } static int __init test_init(void) { int cpu; works = alloc_percpu(struct work_struct); if (!works) return -ENOMEM; /* * This is just a test module.

2018-01-04printk: add console_msg_format command line optionSergey Senozhatsky1-1/+22
0day and kernelCI automatically parse kernel log - basically some sort of grepping using the pre-defined text patterns - in order to detect and report regressions/errors. There are several sources they get the kernel logs from: a) dmesg or /proc/ksmg This is the preferred way. Because `dmesg --raw' (see later Note) and /proc/kmsg output contains facility and log level, which greatly simplifies grepping for EMERG/ALERT/CRIT/ERR messages. b) serial consoles This option is harder to maintain, because serial console messages don't contain facility and log level. This patch introduces a `console_msg_format=' command line option, to switch between different message formatting on serial consoles. For the time being we have just two options - default and syslog. The "default" option just keeps the existing format. While the "syslog" option makes serial console messages to appear in syslog format [syslog() syscall], matching the `dmesg -S --raw' and `cat /proc/kmsg' output formats: - facility and log level - time stamp (depends on printk_time/PRINTK_TIME) - message <%u>[time stamp] text\n NOTE: while Kevin and Fengguang talk about "dmesg --raw", it's actually "dmesg -S --raw" that always prints messages in syslog format [per Petr Mladek]. Running "dmesg --raw" may produce output in non-syslog format sometimes. console_msg_format=syslog enables syslog format, thus in documentation we mention "dmesg -S --raw", not "dmesg --raw".

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman3-0/+3
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

This reverts commit 68c4a4f8abc60c9440ede9cd123d48b78325f7a3, with various conflict clean-ups. The capability check required too much privilege compared to simple DAC controls. A system builder was forced to have crash handler processes run with CAP_SYSLOG which would give it the ability to read (and wipe) the _current_ dmesg, which is much more access than being given access only to the historical log stored in pstorefs. With the prior commit to make the root directory 0750, the files are protected by default but a system builder can now opt to give access to a specific group (via chgrp on the pstorefs root directory) without being forced to also give away CAP_SYSLOG.

2017-07-27printk/console: Enhance the check for consoles using init memoryPetr Mladek1-2/+10
printk_late_init() is responsible for disabling boot consoles that use init memory. It checks the address of struct console for this. But this is not enough. For example, there are several early consoles that have write() method in the init section and struct console in the normal section. They are not disabled and could cause fancy and hard to debug system states. It is even more complicated by the macros EARLYCON_DECLARE() and OF_EARLYCON_DECLARE() where various struct members are set at runtime by the provided setup() function. I have tried to reproduce this problem and forced the classic uart early console to stay using keep_bootcon parameter. In particular I used earlycon=uart,io,0x3f8 keep_bootcon console=ttyS0,115200. The system did not boot: [ 1.570496] PM: Image not found (code -22) [ 1.570496] PM: Image not found (code -22) [ 1.571886] PM: Hibernation image not present or could not be loaded. [ 1.571886] PM: Hibernation image not present or could not be loaded. [ 1.576407] Freeing unused kernel memory: 2528K [ 1.577244] kernel tried to execute NX-protected page - exploit attempt? (uid: 0) The double lines are caused by having both early uart console and ttyS0 console enabled at the same time. The early console stopped working when the init memory was freed. Fortunately, the invalid call was caught by the NX-protexted page check and did not cause any silent fancy problems. This patch adds a check for many other addresses stored in struct console. It omits setup() and match() that are used only when the console is registered. Therefore they have already been used at this point and there is no reason to use them again.

is freed Commit 4c30c6f566c0 ("kernel/printk: do not turn off bootconsole in printk_late_init() if keep_bootcon") added a check on keep_bootcon to ensure that boot consoles were kept around until the real console is registered. This can lead to problems if the boot console data and code are in the init section, since it can be freed before the boot console is unregistered. Commit 81cc26f2bd11 ("printk: only unregister boot consoles when necessary") fixed this a better way. It allowed to keep boot consoles that did not use init data. Unfortunately it did not remove the check of keep_bootcon. This can lead to crashes and weird panics when the bootconsole is accessed after free, especially if page poisoning is in use and the code / data have been overwritten with a poison value. To prevent this, always free the boot console if it is within the init section. In addition, print a warning about that the console is removed prematurely. Finally there is a new comment how to avoid the warning. It replaced an explanation that duplicated a more comprehensive function description few lines above.

This reverts commit cf39bf58afdaabc0b86f141630fb3fd18190294e. The commit regression to users that define both console=ttyS1 and console=ttyS0 on the command line, see https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170509082915.GA13236@bistromath.localdomain The kernel log messages always appeared only on one serial port. It is even documented in Documentation/admin-guide/serial-console.rst: "Note that you can only define one console per device type (serial, video)." The above mentioned commit changed the order in which the command line parameters are searched. As a result, the kernel log messages go to the last mentioned ttyS* instead of the first one. We long thought that using two console=ttyS* on the command line did not make sense. But then we realized that console= parameters were handled also by systemd, see http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/serial-console.html "By default systemd will instantiate one serial-getty@.service on the main kernel console, if it is not a virtual terminal." where "[4] If multiple kernel consoles are used simultaneously, the main console is the one listed first in /sys/class/tty/console/active, which is the last one listed on the kernel command line." This puts the original report into another light. The system is running in qemu. The first serial port is used to store the messages into a file. The second one is used to login to the system via a socket. It depends on systemd and the historic kernel behavior. By other words, systemd causes that it makes sense to define both console=ttyS1 console=ttyS0 on the command line. The kernel fix caused regression related to userspace (systemd) and need to be reverted. In addition, it went out that the fix helped only partially. The messages still were duplicated when the boot console was removed early by late_initcall(printk_late_init). Then the entire log was replayed when the same console was registered as a normal one.

2017-05-19printk: Use the main logbuf in NMI when logbuf_lock is availablePetr Mladek3-9/+42
The commit 42a0bb3f71383b457a7d ("printk/nmi: generic solution for safe printk in NMI") caused that printk stores messages into a temporary buffer in NMI context. The buffer is per-CPU and therefore the size is rather limited. It works quite well for NMI backtraces. But there are longer logs that might get printed in NMI context, for example, lockdep warnings, ftrace_dump_on_oops. The temporary buffer is used to avoid deadlocks caused by logbuf_lock. Also it is needed to avoid races with the other temporary buffer that is used when PRINTK_SAFE_CONTEXT is entered. But the main buffer can be used in NMI if the lock is available and we did not interrupt PRINTK_SAFE_CONTEXT. The lock is checked using raw_spin_is_locked(). It might cause false negatives when the lock is taken on another CPU and this CPU is in the safe context from other reasons. Note that the safe context is used also to get console semaphore or when calling console drivers. For this reason, we do the check in printk_nmi_enter(). It makes the handling consistent for the entire NMI handler and avoids reshuffling of the messages. The patch also defines special printk context that allows to use printk_deferred() in NMI. Note that we could not flush the messages to the consoles because console drivers might use many other internal locks. The newly created vprintk_deferred() disables the preemption only around the irq work handling. It is needed there to keep the consistency between the two per-CPU variables. But there is no reason to disable preemption around vprintk_emit(). Finally, the patch puts back explicit serialization of the NMI backtraces from different CPUs. It was removed by the commit a9edc88093287183ac934b ("x86/nmi: Perform a safe NMI stack trace on all CPUs"). It was not needed because the flushing of the temporary per-CPU buffers was serialized.

2017-05-08crash: move crashkernel parsing and vmcore related code under CONFIG_CRASH_COREHari Bathini1-3/+3
Patch series "kexec/fadump: remove dependency with CONFIG_KEXEC and reuse crashkernel parameter for fadump", v4. Traditionally, kdump is used to save vmcore in case of a crash. Some architectures like powerpc can save vmcore using architecture specific support instead of kexec/kdump mechanism. Such architecture specific support also needs to reserve memory, to be used by dump capture kernel. crashkernel parameter can be a reused, for memory reservation, by such architecture specific infrastructure. This patchset removes dependency with CONFIG_KEXEC for crashkernel parameter and vmcoreinfo related code as it can be reused without kexec support. Also, crashkernel parameter is reused instead of fadump_reserve_mem to reserve memory for fadump. The first patch moves crashkernel parameter parsing and vmcoreinfo related code under CONFIG_CRASH_CORE instead of CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE. The second patch reuses the definitions of append_elf_note() & final_note() functions under CONFIG_CRASH_CORE in IA64 arch code. The third patch removes dependency on CONFIG_KEXEC for firmware-assisted dump (fadump) in powerpc. The next patch reuses crashkernel parameter for reserving memory for fadump, instead of the fadump_reserve_mem parameter. This has the advantage of using all syntaxes crashkernel parameter supports, for fadump as well. The last patch updates fadump kernel documentation about use of crashkernel parameter. This patch (of 5): Traditionally, kdump is used to save vmcore in case of a crash. Some architectures like powerpc can save vmcore using architecture specific support instead of kexec/kdump mechanism. Such architecture specific support also needs to reserve memory, to be used by dump capture kernel. crashkernel parameter can be a reused, for memory reservation, by such architecture specific infrastructure. But currently, code related to vmcoreinfo and parsing of crashkernel parameter is built under CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE. This patch introduces CONFIG_CRASH_CORE and moves the above mentioned code under this config, allowing code reuse without dependency on CONFIG_KEXEC. There is no functional change with this patch.

2017-04-12printk: fix double printing with earlyconAleksey Makarov1-10/+36
If a console was specified by ACPI SPCR table _and_ command line parameters like "console=ttyAMA0" _and_ "earlycon" were specified, then log messages appear twice. The root cause is that the code traverses the list of specified consoles (the `console_cmdline` array) and stops at the first match. But it may happen that the same console is referred by the elements of this array twice: pl011,mmio,0x87e024000000,115200 -- from SPCR ttyAMA0 -- from command line but in this case `preferred_console` points to the second entry and the flag CON_CONSDEV is not set, so bootconsole is not deregistered. To fix that, introduce an invariant "The last non-braille console is always the preferred one" on the entries of the console_cmdline array. Then traverse it in reverse order to be sure that if the console is preferred then it will be the first matching entry. Introduce variable console_cmdline_cnt that keeps the number of elements of the console_cmdline array (Petr Mladek). It helps to get rid of the loop that searches for the end of this array.

2017-04-12printk: rename selected_console -> preferred_consoleAleksey Makarov1-5/+5
The variable selected_console is set in __add_preferred_console() to point to the last console parameter that was added to the console_cmdline array. Rename it to preferred_console so that the name reflects the usage. Petr Mladek: "[..] the selected_console/preferred_console value is used to keep the console first in the console_drivers list. IMHO, the main effect is that each line will first appear on this console, see call_console_drivers(). But the message will still appear also on all other enabled consoles. From this point, the name "preferred" sounds better to me. More consoles are selected (enabled) and only one is preferred (first)."

2017-04-04printk: Correctly handle preemption in console_unlock()Petr Mladek1-2/+6
Some console drivers code calls console_conditional_schedule() that looks at @console_may_schedule. The value must be cleared when the drivers are called from console_unlock() with interrupts disabled. But rescheduling is fine when the same code is called, for example, from tty operations where the console semaphore is taken via console_lock(). This is why @console_may_schedule is cleared before calling console drivers. The original value is stored to decide if we could sleep between lines. Now, @console_may_schedule is not cleared when we call console_trylock() and jump back to the "again" goto label. This has become a problem, since the commit 6b97a20d3a7909daa066 ("printk: set may_schedule for some of console_trylock() callers"). @console_may_schedule might get enabled now. There is also the opposite problem. console_lock() can be called only from preemptive context. It can always enable scheduling in the console code. But console_trylock() is not able to detect it when CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT is disabled. Therefore we should use the original @console_may_schedule value after re-acquiring the console semaphore in console_unlock(). This patch solves both problems by moving the "again" goto label. Alternative solution was to clear and restore the value around call_console_drivers(). Then console_conditional_schedule() could be used also inside console_unlock(). But there was a potential race with console_flush_on_panic() as reported by Sergey Senozhatsky. That function should be called only where there is only one CPU and with interrupts disabled. But better be on the safe side because stopping CPUs might fail.

commit bbeddf52adc1 ("printk: move braille console support into separate braille.[ch] files") introduced _braille_console_setup() to outline the braille initialization code. There was however some confusion over the value it was supposed to return. commit 2cfe6c4ac7ee ("printk: Fix return of braille_register_console()") tried to fix it but failed to. This fixes and documents the returned value according to the use in printk.c: non-zero return means a parsing error, and thus this console configuration should be ignored.

2017-03-24printk: use console_trylock() in console_cpu_notify()Sergey Senozhatsky1-5/+6
There is no need to always call blocking console_lock() in console_cpu_notify(), it's quite possible that console_sem can be locked by other CPU on the system, either already printing or soon to begin printing the messages. console_lock() in this case can simply block CPU hotplug for unknown period of time (console_unlock() is time unbound). Not that hotplug is very fast, but still, with other CPUs being online and doing printk() console_cpu_notify() can stuck. Use console_trylock() instead and opt-out if console_sem is already acquired from another CPU, since that CPU will do the printing for us.
