2020-10-15printk: ringbuffer: Wrong data pointer when appending small stringPetr Mladek
data_realloc() returns wrong data pointer when the block is wrapped and the size is not increased. It might happen when pr_cont() wants to add only few characters and there is already a space for them because of alignment. It might cause writing outsite the buffer. It has been detected by LTP tests with KASAN enabled: [ 221.921944] oom-kill:constraint=CONSTRAINT_MEMCG,nodemask=(null),cpuset=c,mems_allowed=0,oom_memcg=/0,task_memcg=in [ 221.922108] ================================================================== [ 221.922111] BUG: KASAN: global-out-of-bounds in vprintk_store+0x362/0x3d0 [ 221.922112] Write of size 2 at addr ffffffffba51dbcd by task memcg_test_1/11282 [ 221.922113] [ 221.922114] CPU: 1 PID: 11282 Comm: memcg_test_1 Not tainted 5.9.0-next-20201013 #1 [ 221.922116] Hardware name: Supermicro SYS-5019S-ML/X11SSH-F, BIOS 2.0b 07/27/2017 [ 221.922116] Call Trace: [ 221.922117] dump_stack+0xa4/0xd9 [ 221.922118] print_address_description.constprop.0+0x21/0x210 [ 221.922119] ?

2020-09-30printk: avoid and/or handle record truncationJohn Ogness
If a reader provides a buffer that is smaller than the message text, the @text_len field of @info will have a value larger than the buffer size. If readers blindly read @text_len bytes of data without checking the size, they will read beyond their buffer. Add this check to record_print_text() to properly recognize when such truncation has occurred. Add a maximum size argument to the ringbuffer function to extend records so that records can not be created that are larger than the buffer size of readers. When extending records (LOG_CONT), do not extend records beyond LOG_LINE_MAX since that is the maximum size available in the buffers used by consoles and syslog.

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: add finalization/extension supportJohn Ogness
Add support for extending the newest data block. For this, introduce a new finalization state (desc_finalized) denoting a committed descriptor that cannot be extended. Until a record is finalized, a writer can reopen that record to append new data. Reopening a record means transitioning from the desc_committed state back to the desc_reserved state. A writer can explicitly finalize a record if there is no intention of extending it. Also, records are automatically finalized when a new record is reserved. This relieves writers of needing to explicitly finalize while also making such records available to readers sooner. (Readers can only traverse finalized records.) Four new memory barrier pairs are introduced. Two of them are insignificant additions (data_realloc:A/desc_read:D and data_realloc:A/data_push_tail:B) because they are alternate path memory barriers that exactly match the purpose, pairing, and context of the two existing memory barrier pairs they provide an alternate path for. The other two new memory barrier pairs are significant additions: desc_reopen_last:A / _prb_commit:B - When reopening a descriptor, ensure the state transitions back to desc_reserved before fully trusting the descriptor data. _prb_commit:B / desc_reserve:D - When committing a descriptor, ensure the state transitions to desc_committed before checking the head ID to see if the descriptor needs to be finalized.

With commit 896fbe20b4e2333fb55 ("printk: use the lockless ringbuffer"), printk() started silently dropping messages without text because such records are not supported by the new printk ringbuffer. Add support for such records. Currently dataless records are denoted by INVALID_LPOS in order to recognize failed prb_reserve() calls. Change the ringbuffer to instead use two different identifiers (FAILED_LPOS and NO_LPOS) to distinguish between failed prb_reserve() records and successful dataless records, respectively.

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.

2020-07-10printk: add lockless ringbufferJohn Ogness
Introduce a multi-reader multi-writer lockless ringbuffer for storing the kernel log messages. Readers and writers may use their API from any context (including scheduler and NMI). This ringbuffer will make it possible to decouple printk() callers from any context, locking, or console constraints. It also makes it possible for readers to have full access to the ringbuffer contents at any time and context (for example from any panic situation). The printk_ringbuffer is made up of 3 internal ringbuffers: desc_ring: A ring of descriptors. A descriptor contains all record meta data (sequence number, timestamp, loglevel, etc.) as well as internal state information about the record and logical positions specifying where in the other ringbuffers the text and dictionary strings are located. text_data_ring: A ring of data blocks. A data block consists of an unsigned long integer (ID) that maps to a desc_ring index followed by the text string of the record. dict_data_ring: A ring of data blocks. A data block consists of an unsigned long integer (ID) that maps to a desc_ring index followed by the dictionary string of the record. The internal state information of a descriptor is the key element to allow readers and writers to locklessly synchronize access to the data.

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.

2020-06-11printk/kdb: Redirect printk messages into kdb in any contextPetr Mladek
kdb has to get messages on consoles even when the system is stopped. It uses kdb_printf() internally and calls console drivers on its own. It uses a hack to reuse an existing code. It sets "kdb_trap_printk" global variable to redirect even the normal printk() into the kdb_printf() variant. The variable "kdb_trap_printk" is checked in printk_default() and it is ignored when printk is redirected to printk_safe in NMI context. Solve this by moving the check into printk_func(). It is obvious that it is not fully safe. But it does not make things worse. The console drivers are already called in this context by db_printf() direct calls.

2020-05-21kernel/printk: add kmsg SEEK_CUR handlingBruno Meneguele
Userspace libraries, e.g. glibc's dprintf(), perform a SEEK_CUR operation over any file descriptor requested to make sure the current position isn't pointing to junk due to previous manipulation of that same fd. And whenever that fd doesn't have support for such operation, the userspace code expects -ESPIPE to be returned. However, when the fd in question references the /dev/kmsg interface, the current kernel code state returns -EINVAL instead, causing an unexpected behavior in userspace: in the case of glibc, when -ESPIPE is returned it gets ignored and the call completes successfully, while returning -EINVAL forces dprintf to fail without performing any action over that fd: if (_IO_SEEKOFF (fp, (off64_t)0, _IO_seek_cur, _IOS_INPUT|_IOS_OUTPUT) == _IO_pos_BAD && errno != ESPIPE) return NULL; With this patch we make sure to return the correct value when SEEK_CUR is requested over kmsg and also add some kernel doc information to formalize this behavior.

2020-04-10printk: queue wake_up_klogd irq_work only if per-CPU areas are readySergey Senozhatsky
printk_deferred(), similarly to printk_safe/printk_nmi, does not immediately attempt to print a new message on the consoles, avoiding calls into non-reentrant kernel paths, e.g. scheduler or timekeeping, which potentially can deadlock the system. Those printk() flavors, instead, rely on per-CPU flush irq_work to print messages from safer contexts. For same reasons (recursive scheduler or timekeeping calls) printk() uses per-CPU irq_work in order to wake up user space syslog/kmsg readers. However, only printk_safe/printk_nmi do make sure that per-CPU areas have been initialised and that it's safe to modify per-CPU irq_work. This means that, for instance, should printk_deferred() be invoked "too early", that is before per-CPU areas are initialised, printk_deferred() will perform illegal per-CPU access. Lech Perczak [0] reports that after commit 1b710b1b10ef ("char/random: silence a lockdep splat with printk()") user-space syslog/kmsg readers are not able to read new kernel messages. The reason is printk_deferred() being called too early (as was pointed out by Petr and John). Fix printk_deferred() and do not queue per-CPU irq_work before per-CPU areas are initialized.

2020-02-18printk: Correctly set CON_CONSDEV even when preferred console was not registeredBenjamin Herrenschmidt
CON_CONSDEV flag was historically used to put/keep the preferred console first in console_drivers list. Where the preferred console is the last on the command line. The ordering is important only when opening /dev/console: + tty_kopen() + tty_lookup_driver() + console_device() The flag was originally an implementation detail. But it was later made accessible from userspace via /proc/consoles. It was used, for example, by the tool "showconsole" to show the real tty accessible via /dev/console, see https://github.com/bitstreamout/showconsole Now, the current code sets CON_CONSDEV only for the preferred console or when a fallback console is added. The flag is not set when the preferred console is defined on the command line but it is not registered from some reasons. Simple solution is to set CON_CONSDEV flag for the first registered console. It will work most of the time because: + Most real consoles have console->device defined. + Boot consoles are removed in printk_late_init(). + unregister_console() moves CON_CONSDEV flag to the next console. Clean solution would require checking con->device when the preferred console is registered and in unregister_console(). Conclusion: Use the simple solution for now. It is better than the current state and good enough. The clean solution is not worth it. It would complicate the already complicated code without too much gain. Instead the code would deserve a complete rewrite.

2020-02-18printk: Fix preferred console selection with multiple matchesBenjamin Herrenschmidt
In the following circumstances, the rule of selecting the console corresponding to the last "console=" entry on the command line as the preferred console (CON_CONSDEV, ie, /dev/console) fails. This is a specific example, but it could happen with different consoles that have a similar name aliasing mechanism. - The kernel command line has both console=tty0 and console=ttyS0 in that order (the latter with speed etc... arguments). This is common with some cloud setups such as Amazon Linux. - add_preferred_console is called early to register "uart0". In our case that happens from acpi_parse_spcr() on arm64 since the "enable_console" argument is true on that architecture. This causes "uart0" to become entry 0 of the console_cmdline array. Now, because of the above, what happens is: - add_preferred_console is called by the cmdline parsing for tty0 and ttyS0 respectively, thus occupying entries 1 and 2 of the console_cmdline array (since this happens after ACPI SPCR parsing). At that point preferred_console is set to 2 as expected. - When the tty layer kicks in, it will call register_console for tty0. This will match entry 1 in console_cmdline array. It isn't our preferred console but because it's our only console at this point, it will end up "first" in the consoles list. - When 8250 probes the actual serial port later on, it calls register_console for ttyS0. At that point the loop in register_console tries to match it with the entries in the console_cmdline array. Ideally this should match ttyS0 in entry 2, which is preferred, causing it to be inserted first and to replace tty0 as CONSDEV. However, 8250 provides a "match" hook in its struct console, and that hook will match "uart" as an alias to "ttyS". So we match uart0 at entry 0 in the array which is not the preferred console and will not match entry 2 which is since we break out of the loop on the first match. As a result, we don't set CONSDEV and don't insert it first, but second in the console list. As a result, we end up with tty0 remaining first in the array, and thus /dev/console going there instead of the last user specified one which is ttyS0. This tentative fix register_console() to scan first for consoles specified on the command line, and only if none is found, to then scan for consoles specified by the architecture.

2020-02-18printk: Move console matching logic into a separate functionBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This moves the loop that tries to match a newly registered console with the command line or add_preferred_console list into a separate helper, in order to be able to call it multiple times in subsequent patches.
