2021-03-30printk: rename vprintk_func to vprintkRasmus Villemoes
The printk code is already hard enough to understand. Remove an unnecessary indirection by renaming vprintk_func to vprintk (adding the asmlinkage annotation), and removing the vprintk definition from printk.c. That way, printk is implemented in terms of vprintk as one would expect, and there's no "vprintk_func, what's that? Some function pointer that gets set where?" The declaration of vprintk in linux/printk.h already has the __printf(1,0) attribute, there's no point repeating that with the definition - it's for diagnostics in callers. linux/printk.h already contains a static inline {return 0;} definition of vprintk when !CONFIG_PRINTK. Since the corresponding stub definition of vprintk_func was not marked "static inline", any translation unit including internal.h would get a definition of vprintk_func - it just so happens that for !CONFIG_PRINTK, there is precisely one such TU, namely printk.c. Had there been more, it would be a link error; now it's just a silly waste of a few bytes of .text, which one must assume are rather precious to anyone disabling PRINTK. $ objdump -dr kernel/printk/printk.o 00000330 <vprintk_func>: 330: 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax 332: c3 ret 333: 8d b4 26 00 00 00 00 lea 0x0(%esi,%eiz,1),%esi 33a: 8d b6 00 00 00 00 lea 0x0(%esi),%esi Signed-off-by: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk> Reviewed-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org> Reviewed-by: Petr Mladek <pmladek@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Petr Mladek <pmladek@suse.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210323144201.486050-1-linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk

2021-03-08printk: introduce a kmsg_dump iteratorJohn Ogness
Rather than storing the iterator information in the registered kmsg_dumper structure, create a separate iterator structure. The kmsg_dump_iter structure can reside on the stack of the caller, thus allowing lockless use of the kmsg_dump functions. Update code that accesses the kernel logs using the kmsg_dumper structure to use the new kmsg_dump_iter structure. For kmsg_dumpers, this also means adding a call to kmsg_dump_rewind() to initialize the iterator. All this is in preparation for removal of @logbuf_lock.

2021-02-12printk: avoid prb_first_valid_seq() where possibleJohn Ogness
If message sizes average larger than expected (more than 32 characters), the data_ring will wrap before the desc_ring. Once the data_ring wraps, it will start invalidating descriptors. These invalid descriptors hang around until they are eventually recycled when the desc_ring wraps. Readers do not care about invalid descriptors, but they still need to iterate past them. If the average message size is much larger than 32 characters, then there will be many invalid descriptors preceding the valid descriptors. The function prb_first_valid_seq() always begins at the oldest descriptor and searches for the first valid descriptor. This can be rather expensive for the above scenario. And, in fact, because of its heavy usage in /dev/kmsg, there have been reports of long delays and even RCU stalls. For code that does not need to search from the oldest record, replace prb_first_valid_seq() usage with prb_read_valid_*() functions, which provide a start sequence number to search from.

2021-01-19printk: fix buffer overflow potential for print_text()John Ogness
Before the commit 896fbe20b4e2333fb55 ("printk: use the lockless ringbuffer"), msg_print_text() would only write up to size-1 bytes into the provided buffer. Some callers expect this behavior and append a terminator to returned string. In particular: arch/powerpc/xmon/xmon.c:dump_log_buf() arch/um/kernel/kmsg_dump.c:kmsg_dumper_stdout() msg_print_text() has been replaced by record_print_text(), which currently fills the full size of the buffer. This causes a buffer overflow for the above callers. Change record_print_text() so that it will only use size-1 bytes for text data. Also, for paranoia sakes, add a terminator after the text data. And finally, document this behavior so that it is clear that only size-1 bytes are used and a terminator is added.

Since the ringbuffer is lockless, there is no need for it to be protected by @logbuf_lock. Remove @logbuf_lock writer-protection of the ringbuffer. The reader-protection is not removed because some variables, used by readers, are using @logbuf_lock for synchronization: @syslog_seq, @syslog_time, @syslog_partial, @console_seq, struct kmsg_dumper. For PRINTK_NMI_DIRECT_CONTEXT_MASK, @logbuf_lock usage is not removed because it may be used for dumper synchronization. Without @logbuf_lock synchronization of vprintk_store() it is no longer possible to use the single static buffer for temporarily sprint'ing the message. Instead, use vsnprintf() to determine the length and perform the real vscnprintf() using the area reserved from the ringbuffer. This leads to suboptimal packing of the message data, but will result in less wasted storage than multiple per-cpu buffers to support lockless temporary sprint'ing.

console=null The commit 48021f98130880dd74 ("printk: handle blank console arguments passed in.") prevented crash caused by empty console= parameter value. Unfortunately, this value is widely used on Chromebooks to disable the console output. The above commit caused performance regression because the messages were pushed on slow console even though nobody was watching it. Use ttynull driver explicitly for console="" and console=null parameters. It has been created for exactly this purpose. It causes that preferred_console is set. As a result, ttySX and ttyX are not used as a fallback. And only ttynull console gets registered by default. It still allows to register other consoles either by additional console= parameters or SPCR. It prevents regression because it worked this way even before. Also it is a sane semantic. Preventing output on all consoles should be done another way, for example, by introducing mute_console parameter.

2020-09-22printk: move dictionary keys to dev_printk_infoJohn Ogness
Dictionaries are only used for SUBSYSTEM and DEVICE properties. The current implementation stores the property names each time they are used. This requires more space than otherwise necessary. Also, because the dictionary entries are currently considered optional, it cannot be relied upon that they are always available, even if the writer wanted to store them. These issues will increase should new dictionary properties be introduced. Rather than storing the subsystem and device properties in the dict ring, introduce a struct dev_printk_info with separate fields to store only the property values. Embed this struct within the struct printk_info to provide guaranteed availability.

2020-09-22printk: move printk_info into separate arrayJohn Ogness
The majority of the size of a descriptor is taken up by meta data, which is often not of interest to the ringbuffer (for example, when performing state checks). Since descriptors are often temporarily stored on the stack, keeping their size minimal will help reduce stack pressure. Rather than embedding the printk_info into the descriptor, create a separate printk_info array. The index of a descriptor in the descriptor array corresponds to the printk_info with the same index in the printk_info array. The rules for validity of a printk_info match the existing rules for the data blocks: the descriptor must be in a consistent state.

2020-09-15printk: ringbuffer: clear initial reserved fieldsJohn Ogness
prb_reserve() will set some meta data values and leave others uninitialized (or rather, containing the values of the previous wrap). Simplify the API by always clearing out all the fields. Only the sequence number is filled in. The caller is now responsible for filling in the rest of the meta data fields. In particular, for correctly filling in text and dict lengths.

2020-07-13doc:kmsg: explicitly state the return value in case of SEEK_CURBruno Meneguele
The commit 625d3449788f ("Revert "kernel/printk: add kmsg SEEK_CUR handling"") reverted a change done to the return value in case a SEEK_CUR operation was performed for kmsg buffer based on the fact that different userspace apps were handling the new return value (-ESPIPE) in different ways, breaking them. At the same time -ESPIPE was the wrong decision because kmsg /does support/ seek() but doesn't follow the "normal" behavior userspace is used to. Because of that and also considering the time -EINVAL has been used, it was decided to keep this way to avoid more userspace breakage. This patch adds an official statement to the kmsg documentation pointing to the current return value for SEEK_CUR, -EINVAL, thus userspace libraries and apps can refer to it for a definitive guide on what to expect.

2020-07-10printk: use the lockless ringbufferJohn Ogness
Replace the existing ringbuffer usage and implementation with lockless ringbuffer usage. Even though the new ringbuffer does not require locking, all existing locking is left in place. Therefore, this change is purely replacing the underlining ringbuffer. Changes that exist due to the ringbuffer replacement: - The VMCOREINFO has been updated for the new structures. - Dictionary data is now stored in a separate data buffer from the human-readable messages. The dictionary data buffer is set to the same size as the message buffer. Therefore, the total required memory for both dictionary and message data is 2 * (2 ^ CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT) for the initial static buffers and 2 * log_buf_len (the kernel parameter) for the dynamic buffers. - Record meta-data is now stored in a separate array of descriptors. This is an additional 72 * (2 ^ (CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT - 5)) bytes for the static array and 72 * (log_buf_len >> 5) bytes for the dynamic array.

2020-06-21Revert "kernel/printk: add kmsg SEEK_CUR handling"Jason A. Donenfeld
This reverts commit 8ece3b3eb576a78d2e67ad4c3a80a39fa6708809. This commit broke userspace. Bash uses ESPIPE to determine whether or not the file should be read using "unbuffered I/O", which means reading 1 byte at a time instead of 128 bytes at a time. I used to use bash to read through kmsg in a really quite nasty way: while read -t 0.1 -r line 2>/dev/null || [[ $? -ne 142 ]]; do echo "SARU $line" done < /dev/kmsg This will show all lines that can fit into the 128 byte buffer, and skip lines that don't. That's pretty awful, but at least it worked. With this change, bash now tries to do 1-byte reads, which means it skips all the lines, which is worse than before. Now, I don't really care very much about this, and I'm already look for a workaround. But I did just spend an hour trying to figure out why my scripts were broken. Either way, it makes no difference to me personally whether this is reverted, but it might be something to consider. If you declare that "trying to read /dev/kmsg with bash is terminally stupid anyway," I might be inclined to agree with you. But do note that bash uses lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_CUR)==>ESPIPE to determine whether or not it's reading from a pipe.
