2010-11-26nohz: Fix printk_needs_cpu() return value on offline cpusHeiko Carstens1-0/+2
This patch fixes a hang observed with 2.6.32 kernels where timers got enqueued on offline cpus. printk_needs_cpu() may return 1 if called on offline cpus. When a cpu gets offlined it schedules the idle process which, before killing its own cpu, will call tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick(). That function in turn will call printk_needs_cpu() in order to check if the local tick can be disabled. On offline cpus this function should naturally return 0 since regardless if the tick gets disabled or not the cpu will be dead short after. That is besides the fact that __cpu_disable() should already have made sure that no interrupts on the offlined cpu will be delivered anyway. In this case it prevents tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() to call select_nohz_load_balancer(). No idea if that really is a problem. However what made me debug this is that on 2.6.32 the function get_nohz_load_balancer() is used within __mod_timer() to select a cpu on which a timer gets enqueued. If printk_needs_cpu() returns 1 then the nohz_load_balancer cpu doesn't get updated when a cpu gets offlined. It may contain the cpu number of an offline cpu. In turn timers get enqueued on an offline cpu and not very surprisingly they never expire and cause system hangs. This has been observed 2.6.32 kernels. On current kernels __mod_timer() uses get_nohz_timer_target() which doesn't have that problem. However there might be other problems because of the too early exit tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() in case a cpu goes offline. Easiest way to fix this is just to test if the current cpu is offline and call printk_tick() directly which clears the condition. Alternatively I tried a cpu hotplug notifier which would clear the condition, however between calling the notifier function and printk_needs_cpu() something could have called printk() again and the problem is back again. This seems to be the safest fix.

2010-11-26printk: Fix wake_up_klogd() vs cpu hotplugHeiko Carstens1-1/+1
wake_up_klogd() may get called from preemptible context but uses __raw_get_cpu_var() to write to a per cpu variable. If it gets preempted between getting the address and writing to it, the cpu in question could be offline if the process gets scheduled back and hence writes to the per cpu data of an offline cpu. This buggy behaviour was introduced with fa33507a "printk: robustify printk, fix #2" which was supposed to fix a "using smp_processor_id() in preemptible" warning. Let's use this_cpu_write() instead which disables preemption and makes sure that the outlined scenario cannot happen.

2010-11-15capabilities/syslog: open code cap_syslog logic to fix build failureEric Paris1-1/+14
The addition of CONFIG_SECURITY_DMESG_RESTRICT resulted in a build failure when CONFIG_PRINTK=n. This is because the capabilities code which used the new option was built even though the variable in question didn't exist. The patch here fixes this by moving the capabilities checks out of the LSM and into the caller. All (known) LSMs should have been calling the capabilities hook already so it actually makes the code organization better to eliminate the hook altogether.

2010-11-12Restrict unprivileged access to kernel syslogDan Rosenberg1-0/+6
The kernel syslog contains debugging information that is often useful during exploitation of other vulnerabilities, such as kernel heap addresses. Rather than futilely attempt to sanitize hundreds (or thousands) of printk statements and simultaneously cripple useful debugging functionality, it is far simpler to create an option that prevents unprivileged users from reading the syslog. This patch, loosely based on grsecurity's GRKERNSEC_DMESG, creates the dmesg_restrict sysctl. When set to "0", the default, no restrictions are enforced. When set to "1", only users with CAP_SYS_ADMIN can read the kernel syslog via dmesg(8) or other mechanisms.

2010-08-05printk: fix delayed messages from CPU hotplug eventsKevin Cernekee1-2/+31
When a secondary CPU is being brought up, it is not uncommon for printk() to be invoked when cpu_online(smp_processor_id()) == 0. The case that I witnessed personally was on MIPS: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/5/30/4 If (can_use_console() == 0), printk() will spool its output to log_buf and it will be visible in "dmesg", but that output will NOT be echoed to the console until somebody calls release_console_sem() from a CPU that is online. Therefore, the boot time messages from the new CPU can get stuck in "limbo" for a long time, and might suddenly appear on the screen when a completely unrelated event (e.g. "eth0: link is down") occurs. This patch modifies the console code so that any pending messages are automatically flushed out to the console whenever a CPU hotplug operation completes successfully or aborts. The issue was seen on 2.6.34. Original patch by Kevin Cernekee with cleanups by akpm and additional fixes by Santosh Shilimkar. This patch superseeds https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/1357/.

2009-07-10printk: Restore previous console_loglevel when re-enabling loggingFrans Pop1-1/+10
When logging to console is disabled from userspace using klogctl() and later re-enabled, console_loglevel gets set to the default log level instead to the previous value. This means that if the kernel was booted with 'quiet', the boot is suddenly no longer quiet after logging to console gets re-enabled. Save the current console_loglevel when logging is disabled and restore to that value. If the log level is set to a specific value while disabled, this is interpreted as an implicit re-enabling of the logging. The problem that prompted this patch is described in: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/28/234 There are two variations possible on the patch below: 1) If klogctl(7) is called while logging is not disabled, then set level to default (partially preserving current functionality): case 7: /* Enable logging to console */ - console_loglevel = default_console_loglevel; + if (saved_console_loglevel == -1) + console_loglevel = default_console_loglevel; + else { + console_loglevel = saved_console_loglevel; + saved_console_loglevel = -1; + } 2) If klogctl(8) is called while logging is disabled, then don't enable logging, but remember the requested value for when logging does get enabled again: case 8: /* Set level of messages printed to console */ [...] - console_loglevel = len; + if (saved_console_loglevel == -1) + console_loglevel = len; + else + saved_console_loglevel = len; Yet another option would be to ignore the request.

2009-07-10printk: Ensure that "console enabled" messages are printed on the consoleRobin Getz1-15/+29
Today, when a console is registered without CON_PRINTBUFFER, end users never see the announcement of it being added, and never know if they missed something, if the console is really at the start or not, and just leads to general confusion. This re-orders existing code, to make sure the console is added, before the "console [%s%d] enabled" is printed out - ensuring that this message is _always_ seen. This has the desired/intended side effect of making sure that "console enabled:" messages are printed on the bootconsole, and the real console. This does cause the same line is printed twice if the bootconsole and real console are the same device, but if they are on different devices, the message is printed to both consoles.

2009-07-03printk: Enable the use of more than one CON_BOOT (early console)Robin Getz1-54/+92
Today, register_console() assumes the following usage: - The first console to register with a flag set to CON_BOOT is the one and only bootconsole. - If another register_console() is called with an additional CON_BOOT, it is silently rejected. - As soon as a console without the CON_BOOT set calls registers the bootconsole is automatically unregistered. - Once there is a "real" console - register_console() will silently reject any consoles with it's CON_BOOT flag set. In many systems (alpha, blackfin, microblaze, mips, powerpc, sh, & x86), there are early_printk implementations, which use the CON_BOOT which come out serial ports, vga, usb, & memory buffers. In many embedded systems, it would be nice to have two bootconsoles - in case the primary fails, you always have access to a backup memory buffer - but this requires at least two CON_BOOT consoles... This patch enables that functionality. With the change applied, on boot you get (if you try to re-enable a boot console after the "real" console has been registered): root:/> dmesg | grep console bootconsole [early_shadow0] enabled bootconsole [early_BFuart0] enabled Kernel command line: root=/dev/mtdblock0 rw earlyprintk=serial,uart0,57600 console=ttyBF0,57600 nmi_debug=regs console handover:boot [early_BFuart0] boot [early_shadow0] -> real [ttyBF0] Too late to register bootconsole early_shadow0 or: root:/> dmesg | grep console Kernel command line: root=/dev/mtdblock0 rw console=ttyBF0,57600 console [ttyBF0] enabled Signed-off-by: Robin Getz <rgetz@blackfin.uclinux.org> Cc: "Linus Torvalds" <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: "Andrew Morton" <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: "Mike Frysinger" <vapier.adi@gmail.com> Cc: "Paul Mundt" <lethal@linux-sh.org> LKML-Reference: <200907012108.38030.rgetz@blackfin.uclinux.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

This adds a KERN_DEFAULT loglevel marker, for when you cannot decide which loglevel you want, and just want to keep an existing printk with the default loglevel. The difference between having KERN_DEFAULT and having no log-level marker at all is two-fold: - having the log-level marker will now force a new-line if the previous printout had not added one (perhaps because it forgot, but perhaps because it expected a continuation) - having a log-level marker is required if you are printing out a message that otherwise itself could perhaps otherwise be mistaken for a log-level.

2009-06-16printk: clean up handling of log-levels and newlinesLinus Torvalds1-9/+22
It used to be that we would only look at the log-level in a printk() after explicit newlines, which can cause annoying problems when the previous printk() did not end with a '\n'. In that case, the log-level marker would be just printed out in the middle of the line, and be seen as just noise rather than change the logging level. This changes things to always look at the log-level in the first bytes of the printout. If a log level marker is found, it is always used as the log-level. Additionally, if no newline existed, one is added (unless the log-level is the explicit KERN_CONT marker, to explicitly show that it's a continuation of a previous line).

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.

2009-03-17printk: correct the behavior of printk_timed_ratelimit()Guillaume Knispel1-2/+5
Impact: fix jiffies-comparison sign-wrap behavior The behavior provided by printk_timed_ratelimit() is, in some situations, probably not what a caller would reasonably expect: bool printk_timed_ratelimit(unsigned long *caller_jiffies, unsigned int interval_msecs) { if (*caller_jiffies == 0 || time_after(jiffies, *caller_jiffies)) { *caller_jiffies = jiffies + msecs_to_jiffies(interval_msecs); return true; } return false; } On a 32 bit computer, if printk_timed_ratelimit() is initially called at time jiffies == Ja, *caller_jiffies is set to Ja + msecs_to_jiffies(interval_msecs): let's say Ja + 42 for this example. If this caller then doesn't call printk_timed_ratelimit() until jiffies == Ja + (1 << 31) + 42 (which can happen as soon as ~ 25 days later on a 1000 HZ system), printk_timed_ratelimit() will then always return false to this caller until jiffies loops completely (1 << 31 more ticks). Ths change makes it only return false if jiffies is in the small time window starting at the previous call when true was returned and ending interval_msecs later. Note that if jiffies loops completely between two calls to printk_timed_ratelimit(), it will obviously still wrongly return false, but this is something with a low probability. If something completely reliable is needed I guess jiffies_64 must be used (which this change does not do).

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.
