2014-06-04printk: report dropping of messages from logbufWill Deacon
If the log ring buffer becomes full, we silently overwrite old messages with new data. console_unlock will detect this case and fast-forward the console_* pointers to skip over the corrupted data, but nothing will be reported to the user. This patch hijacks the first valid log message after detecting that we dropped messages and prefixes it with a note detailing how many messages were dropped. For long (~1000 char) messages, this will result in some truncation of the real message, but given that we're dropping things anyway, that doesn't seem to be the end of the world.

2014-06-04Documentation: expand/clarify debug documentationDan Streetman
The pr_debug() and related debug print macros all differ from the normal pr_XXX() macros, in that the normal ones print unconditionally, while the debug macros are compiled out unless DEBUG is defined or CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is set. This isn't obvious, and the only way to find this out is either to review the actual printk.h code or to read CodingStyle, and the message there doesn't highlight the fact. Change Documentation/CodingStyle to clearly indicate that pr_debug() and related debug printing macros behave differently than all other pr_XXX() macros, and attempt to clarify when and where the different debug printing methods might be used. Add short comment to printk.h above the pr_XXX() macros indicating that while these macros print unconditionally, pr_debug() does not.

2014-06-04timekeeping: use printk_deferred when holding timekeeping seqlockJohn Stultz
Jiri Bohac pointed out that there are rare but potential deadlock possibilities when calling printk while holding the timekeeping seqlock. This is due to printk() triggering console sem wakeup, which can cause scheduling code to trigger hrtimers which may try to read the time. Specifically, as Jiri pointed out, that path is: printk vprintk_emit console_unlock up(&console_sem) __up wake_up_process try_to_wake_up ttwu_do_activate ttwu_activate activate_task enqueue_task enqueue_task_fair hrtick_update hrtick_start_fair hrtick_start_fair get_time ktime_get --> endless loop on read_seqcount_retry(&timekeeper_seq, ...) This patch tries to avoid this issue by using printk_deferred (previously named printk_sched) which should defer printing via a irq_work_queue.

2014-06-04printk: remove separate printk_sched buffers and use printk buf insteadSteven Rostedt
To prevent deadlocks with doing a printk inside the scheduler, printk_sched() was created. The issue is that printk has a console_sem that it can grab and release. The release does a wake up if there's a task pending on the sem, and this wake up grabs the rq locks that is held in the scheduler. This leads to a possible deadlock if the wake up uses the same rq as the one with the rq lock held already. What printk_sched() does is to save the printk write in a per cpu buffer and sets the PRINTK_PENDING_SCHED flag. On a timer tick, if this flag is set, the printk() is done against the buffer. There's a couple of issues with this approach. 1) If two printk_sched()s are called before the tick, the second one will overwrite the first one. 2) The temporary buffer is 512 bytes and is per cpu. This is a quite a bit of space wasted for something that is seldom used. In order to remove this, the printk_sched() can use the printk buffer instead, and delay the console_trylock()/console_unlock() to the queued work. Because printk_sched() would then be taking the logbuf_lock, the logbuf_lock must not be held while doing anything that may call into the scheduler functions, which includes wake ups. Unfortunately, printk() also has a console_sem that it uses, and on release, the up(&console_sem) may do a wake up of any pending waiters. This must be avoided while holding the logbuf_lock.

2014-06-04printk: enable interrupts before calling console_trylock_for_printk()Jan Kara
We need interrupts disabled when calling console_trylock_for_printk() only so that cpu id we pass to can_use_console() remains valid (for other things console_sem provides all the exclusion we need and deadlocks on console_sem due to interrupts are impossible because we use down_trylock()). However if we are rescheduled, we are guaranteed to run on an online cpu so we can easily just get the cpu id in can_use_console(). We can lose a bit of performance when we enable interrupts in vprintk_emit() and then disable them again in console_unlock() but OTOH it can somewhat reduce interrupt latency caused by console_unlock() especially since later in the patch series we will want to spin on console_sem in console_trylock_for_printk().

2014-06-04printk: release lockbuf_lock before calling console_trylock_for_printk()Jan Kara
There's no reason to hold lockbuf_lock when entering console_trylock_for_printk(). The first thing this function does is to call down_trylock(console_sem) and if that fails it immediately unlocks lockbuf_lock. So lockbuf_lock isn't needed for that branch. When down_trylock() succeeds, the rest of console_trylock() is OK without lockbuf_lock (it is called without it from other places), and the only remaining thing in console_trylock_for_printk() is can_use_console() call. For that call console_sem is enough (it iterates all consoles and checks CON_ANYTIME flag). So we drop logbuf_lock before entering console_trylock_for_printk() which simplifies the code.

2014-06-04printk: remove outdated commentJan Kara
Comment about interesting interlocking between lockbuf_lock and console_sem is outdated. It was added in 2002 by commit a880f45a48be during conversion of console_lock to console_sem + lockbuf_lock. At that time release_console_sem() (today's equivalent is console_unlock()) was indeed using lockbuf_lock to avoid races between trylock on console_sem in printk() and unlock of console_sem. However these days the interlocking is gone and the races are avoided by rechecking logbuf state after releasing console_sem.

2014-06-04printk: return really stored message lengthPetr Mladek
I wonder if anyone uses printk return value but it is there and should be counted correctly. This patch modifies log_store() to return the number of really stored bytes from the 'text' part. Also it handles the return value in vprintk_emit(). Note that log_store() is used also in cont_flush() but we could ignore the return value there. The function works with characters that were already counted earlier. In addition, the store could newer fail here because the length of the printed text is limited by the "cont" buffer and "dict" is NULL.

We might want to print at least part of too long messages and add some warning for debugging purpose. The question is how long the shrunken message should be. If we use the whole buffer, it might get rotated too soon. Let's try to use only 1/4 of the buffer for now. Also shrink the whole dictionary. We do not want to parse it or break it in the middle of some pair of values. It would not cause any real harm but still.

2014-06-04printk: ignore too long messagesPetr Mladek
There was no check for too long messages. The check for free space always passed when first_seq and next_seq were equal. Enough free space was not guaranteed, though. log_store() might be called to store messages up to 64kB + 64kB + 16B. This is sum of maximal text_len, dict_len values, and the size of the structure printk_log. On the other hand, the minimal size for the main log buffer currently is 4kB and it is enforced only by Kconfig. The good news is that the usage looks safe right now. log_store() is called only from vprintk_emit() and cont_flush(). Here the "text" part is always passed via a static buffer and the length is limited to LOG_LINE_MAX which is 1024. The "dict" part is NULL in most cases. The only exceptions is when vprintk_emit() is called from printk_emit() and dev_vprintk_emit(). But printk_emit() is currently used only in devkmsg_writev() and here "dict" is NULL as well. In dev_vprintk_emit(), "dict" is limited by the static buffer "hdr" of the size 128 bytes. It meas that the current maximal printed text is 1024B + 128B + 16B and it always fit the log buffer. But it is only matter of time when someone calls printk_emit() with unsafe parameters, especially the "dict" one. This patch adds a check for the free space when the buffer is empty. It reuses the already existing log_has_space() function but it has to add an extra parameter. It defines whether the buffer is empty. Note that the same values of "first_idx" and "next_idx" might also mean that the buffer is full. If the buffer is empty, we must respect the current position of the indexes. We cannot reset them to the beginning of the buffer. Otherwise, the functions reading the buffer would get crazy. The question is what to do when the message is too long. This patch uses the easiest solution and just ignores the problematic message. Let's do something better in a followup patch.

2014-06-04printk: split code for making free space in the log bufferPetr Mladek
The check for free space in the log buffer always passes when "first_seq" and "next_seq" are equal. In theory, it might cause writing outside of the log buffer. Fortunately, the current usage looks safe because the used "text" and "dict" buffers are quite limited. See the second patch for more details. Anyway, it is better to be on the safe side and add a check. An easy solution is done in the 2nd patch and it is improved in the 4th patch. 5th patch fixes the computation of the printed message length. 1st and 3rd patches just do some code refactoring to make the other patches easier. This patch (of 5): There will be needed some fixes in the check for free space. They will be easier if the code is moved outside of the quite long log_store() function.

2014-06-04compiler.h: avoid sparse errors in __compiletime_error_fallback()James Hogan
Usually, BUG_ON and friends aren't even evaluated in sparse, but recently compiletime_assert_atomic_type() was added, and that now results in a sparse warning every time it is used. The reason turns out to be the temporary variable, after it sparse no longer considers the value to be a constant, and results in a warning and an error. The error is the more annoying part of this as it suppresses any further warnings in the same file, hiding other problems. Unfortunately the condition cannot be simply expanded out to avoid the temporary variable since it breaks compiletime_assert on old versions of GCC such as GCC 4.2.4 which the latest metag compiler is based on. Therefore #ifndef __CHECKER__ out the __compiletime_error_fallback which uses the potentially negative size array to trigger a conditional compiler error, so that sparse doesn't see it.

2014-06-04mm/vmalloc.c: export unmap_kernel_range()Minchan Kim
zsmalloc needs exported unmap_kernel_range for building as a module. See https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/18/487 I didn't send a patch to make unmap_kernel_range exportable at that time because zram was staging stuff and I thought VM function exporting for staging stuff makes no sense. Now zsmalloc was promoted. If we can't build zsmalloc as module, it means we can't build zram as module, either. Additionally, buddy map_vm_area is already exported so let's export unmap_kernel_range to help his buddy.

2014-06-04zram: correct offset usage in zram_bio_discardWeijie Yang
We want to skip the physical block(PAGE_SIZE) which is partially covered by the discard bio, so we check the remaining size and subtract it if there is a need to goto the next physical block. The current offset usage in zram_bio_discard is incorrect, it will cause its upper filesystem breakdown. Consider the following scenario: On some architecture or config, PAGE_SIZE is 64K for example, filesystem is set up on zram disk without PAGE_SIZE aligned, a discard bio leads to a offset = 4K and size=72K, normally, it should not really discard any physical block as it partially cover two physical blocks. However, with the current offset usage, it will discard the second physical block and free its memory, which will cause filesystem breakdown. This patch corrects the offset usage in zram_bio_discard.

mem_cgroup_force_empty_list() can iterate a large number of pages on an lru and mem_cgroup_move_parent() doesn't return an errno unless certain criteria, none of which indicate that the iteration may be taking too long, is met.

2014-06-04Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt: clarify vfs_cache_pressure descriptionDenys Vlasenko
Existing description is worded in a way which almost encourages setting of vfs_cache_pressure above 100, possibly way above it. Users are left in a dark what this numeric value is - an int? a percentage? what the scale is? As a result, we are getting reports about noticeable performance degradation from users who have set vfs_cache_pressure to ridiculously high values - because they thought there is no downside to it. Via code inspection it's obvious that this value is treated as a percentage. This patch changes text to reflect this fact, and adds a cautionary paragraph advising against setting vfs_cache_pressure sky high.

2014-06-04mm/memory-failure.c: support use of a dedicated thread to handle ↵Naoya Horiguchi
SIGBUS(BUS_MCEERR_AO) Currently memory error handler handles action optional errors in the deferred manner by default. And if a recovery aware application wants to handle it immediately, it can do it by setting PF_MCE_EARLY flag. However, such signal can be sent only to the main thread, so it's problematic if the application wants to have a dedicated thread to handler such signals. So this patch adds dedicated thread support to memory error handler. We have PF_MCE_EARLY flags for each thread separately, so with this patch AO signal is sent to the thread with PF_MCE_EARLY flag set, not the main thread. If you want to implement a dedicated thread, you call prctl() to set PF_MCE_EARLY on the thread. Memory error handler collects processes to be killed, so this patch lets it check PF_MCE_EARLY flag on each thread in the collecting routines. No behavioral change for all non-early kill cases. Tony said: : The old behavior was crazy - someone with a multithreaded process might : well expect that if they call prctl(PF_MCE_EARLY) in just one thread, then : that thread would see the SIGBUS with si_code = BUS_MCEERR_A0 - even if : that thread wasn't the main thread for the process.

2014-06-04mm/memory-failure.c: don't let collect_procs() skip over processes for ↵Tony Luck
MF_ACTION_REQUIRED When Linux sees an "action optional" machine check (where h/w has reported an error that is not in the current execution path) we generally do not want to signal a process, since most processes do not have a SIGBUS handler - we'd just prematurely terminate the process for a problem that they might never actually see. task_early_kill() decides whether to consider a process - and it checks whether this specific process has been marked for early signals with "prctl", or if the system administrator has requested early signals for all processes using /proc/sys/vm/memory_failure_early_kill. But for MF_ACTION_REQUIRED case we must not defer. The error is in the execution path of the current thread so we must send the SIGBUS immediatley. Fix by passing a flag argument through collect_procs*() to task_early_kill() so it knows whether we can defer or must take action.

2014-06-04mm/memory-failure.c-failure: send right signal code to correct threadTony Luck
When a thread in a multi-threaded application hits a machine check because of an uncorrectable error in memory - we want to send the SIGBUS with si.si_code = BUS_MCEERR_AR to that thread. Currently we fail to do that if the active thread is not the primary thread in the process. collect_procs() just finds primary threads and this test: if ((flags & MF_ACTION_REQUIRED) && t == current) { will see that the thread we found isn't the current thread and so send a si.si_code = BUS_MCEERR_AO to the primary (and nothing to the active thread at this time). We can fix this by checking whether "current" shares the same mm with the process that collect_procs() said owned the page. If so, we send the SIGBUS to current (with code BUS_MCEERR_AR).
