2018-10-12printk: fix integer overflow in setup_log_buf()Sergey Senozhatsky
The way we calculate logbuf free space percentage overflows signed integer: int free; free = __LOG_BUF_LEN - log_next_idx; pr_info("early log buf free: %u(%u%%)\n", free, (free * 100) / __LOG_BUF_LEN); We support LOG_BUF_LEN of up to 1<<25 bytes. Since setup_log_buf() is called during early init, logbuf is mostly empty, so __LOG_BUF_LEN - log_next_idx is close to 1<<25. Thus when we multiply it by 100, we overflow signed integer value range: 100 is 2^6 + 2^5 + 2^2. Example, booting with LOG_BUF_LEN 1<<25 and log_buf_len=2G boot param: [ 0.075317] log_buf_len: -2147483648 bytes [ 0.075319] early log buf free: 33549896(-28%) Make "free" unsigned integer and use appropriate printk() specifier.

2018-10-12printk: do not preliminary split up cont bufferSergey Senozhatsky
We have a proper 'overflow' check which tells us that we need to split up existing cont buffer in separate records: if (cont.len + len > sizeof(cont.buf)) cont_flush(); At the same time we also have one extra flush: "if cont buffer is 80% full then split it up" in cont_add(): if (cont.len > (sizeof(cont.buf) * 80) / 100) cont_flush(); This looks to be redundant, since the existing "overflow" check should work just fine, so remove this 80% check and wait for either a normal cont termination \n, for preliminary flush due to possible buffer overflow or for preliminary flush due to cont race.

2018-10-12printk: lock/unlock console only for new logbuf entriesSergey Senozhatsky
Prior to commit 5c2992ee7fd8a29 ("printk: remove console flushing special cases for partial buffered lines") we would do console_cont_flush() for each pr_cont() to print cont fragments, so console_unlock() would actually print data: pr_cont(); console_lock(); console_unlock() console_cont_flush(); // print cont fragment ... pr_cont(); console_lock(); console_unlock() console_cont_flush(); // print cont fragment We don't do console_cont_flush() anymore, so when we do pr_cont() console_unlock() does nothing (unless we flushed the cont buffer): pr_cont(); console_lock(); console_unlock(); // noop ... pr_cont(); console_lock(); console_unlock(); // noop ... pr_cont(); cont_flush(); console_lock(); console_unlock(); // print data We also wakeup klogd purposelessly for pr_cont() output - un-flushed cont buffer is not stored in log_buf; there is nothing to pull. Thus we can console_lock()/console_unlock()/wake_up_klogd() only when we know that we log_store()-ed a message and there is something to print to the consoles/syslog.

2018-10-12printk: keep kernel cont support always enabledSergey Senozhatsky
Since commit 5c2992ee7fd8a29 ("printk: remove console flushing special cases for partial buffered lines") we don't print cont fragments to the consoles; cont lines are now proper log_buf entries and there is no "consecutive continuation flag" anymore: we either have 'c' entries that mark continuation lines without fragments; or '-' entries that mark normal logbuf entries. There are no '+' entries anymore. However, we still have a small leftover - presence of ext_console drivers disables kernel cont support and we flush each pr_cont() and store it as a separate log_buf entry. Previously, it worked because msg_print_ext_header() had that "an optional external merge of the records" functionality: if (msg->flags & LOG_CONT) cont = (prev_flags & LOG_CONT) ? '+' : 'c'; We don't do this as of now, so keep kernel cont always enabled. Note from pmladek: The original purpose was to get full information including the metadata and dictionary via extended console drivers, see commit 6fe29354befe4c46e ("printk: implement support for extended console drivers"). The dictionary probably was the most important part but it was actually lost: static void cont_flush(void) { [...] log_store(cont.facility, cont.level, cont.flags, cont.ts_nsec, NULL, 0, cont.buf, cont.len); Nobody noticed because the only dictionary user is dev_printk() and dev_cont() is _not_ defined.

2018-10-02printk: CON_PRINTBUFFER console registration is a bit racySergey Senozhatsky
CON_PRINTBUFFER console registration requires us to do several preparation steps: - Rollback console_seq to replay logbuf messages which were already seen on other consoles; - Set exclusive_console flag so console_unlock() will ->write() logbuf messages only to the exclusive_console driver. The way we do it, however, is a bit racy logbuf_lock_irqsave(flags); console_seq = syslog_seq; console_idx = syslog_idx; logbuf_unlock_irqrestore(flags); << preemption enabled << irqs enabled exclusive_console = newcon; console_unlock(); We rollback console_seq under logbuf_lock with IRQs disabled, but we set exclusive_console with local IRQs enabled and logbuf unlocked. If the system oops-es or panic-s before we set exclusive_console - and given that we have IRQs and preemption enabled there is such a possibility - we will re-play all logbuf messages to every registered console, which may be a bit annoying and time consuming. Move exclusive_console assignment to the same IRQs-disabled and logbuf_lock-protected section where we rollback console_seq.

2018-10-02printk: Do not miss new messages when replaying the logPetr Mladek
The variable "exclusive_console" is used to reply all existing messages on a newly registered console. It is cleared when all messages are out. The problem is that new messages might appear in the meantime. These are then visible only on the exclusive console. The obvious solution is to clear "exclusive_console" after we replay all messages that were already proceed before we started the reply.

2018-09-11Revert "printk: make sure to print log on console."Petr Mladek
This reverts commit 375899cddcbb26881b03cb3fbdcfd600e4e67f4a. The visibility of early messages did not longer take into account "quiet", "debug", and "loglevel" early parameters. It would be possible to invalidate and recompute LOG_NOCONS flag for the affected messages. But it would be hairy. Instead this patch just reverts the problematic commit. We could come up with a better solution for the original problem. For example, we could simplify the logic and just mark messages that should always be visible or always invisible on the console. Also this patch reverts the related build fix commit ffaa619af1b06 ("printk: Fix warning about unused suppress_message_printing"). Finally, this patch does not put back the unused LOG_NOCONS flag.

This would trigger when performing "perf" with a high NMI interrupt rate, while enabling and disabling function tracer. Ftrace uses breakpoints to convert the nops at the start of functions to calls to the function trampolines. The breakpoint traps disable interrupts and this makes calls into lockdep via the trace_hardirqs_off_thunk in the entry.S code. What happens is the following: do_idle { [interrupts enabled] <interrupt> [interrupts disabled] TRACE_IRQS_OFF [lockdep says irqs off] [...] TRACE_IRQS_IRET test if pt_regs say return to interrupts enabled [yes] TRACE_IRQS_ON [lockdep says irqs are on] <nmi> nmi_enter() { printk_nmi_enter() [traced by ftrace] [ hit ftrace breakpoint ] <breakpoint exception> TRACE_IRQS_OFF [lockdep says irqs off] [...] TRACE_IRQS_IRET [return from breakpoint] test if pt_regs say interrupts enabled [no] [iret back to interrupt] [iret back to code] tick_nohz_idle_enter() { lockdep_assert_irqs_enabled() [lockdep say no!] Although interrupts are indeed enabled, lockdep thinks it is not, and since we now do asserts via lockdep, it gives a false warning. The issue here is that printk_nmi_enter() is called before lockdep_off(), which disables lockdep (for this reason) in NMIs. By simply not allowing ftrace to see printk_nmi_enter() (via notrace annotation) we keep lockdep from getting confused.

2018-07-31console: Replace #if 0 with atomic var 'ignore_console_lock_warning'Thomas Zimmermann
The macro WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED prints a warning when a thread enters the console's critical section without having acquired the console lock. The console lock can be ignored when debugging the console using printk, but this makes WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED generate unnecessary warnings. The variable ignore_console_lock_warning temporarily disables WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED. Developers interested in debugging the console's critical sections should increment it before entering the CS and decrement it after leaving the CS. Setting ignore_console_lock_warning is only for debugging. Regular operation should not manipulate it. Acknoledgements: This patch is based on an earlier version by Steven Rostedt. The use of atomic increment/decrement was suggested by Petr Mladek.

2018-07-09printk/nmi: Prevent deadlock when accessing the main log buffer in NMIPetr Mladek
The commit 719f6a7040f1bdaf96 ("printk: Use the main logbuf in NMI when logbuf_lock is available") brought back the possible deadlocks in printk() and NMI. The check of logbuf_lock is done only in printk_nmi_enter() to prevent mixed output. But another CPU might take the lock later, enter NMI, and: + Both NMIs might be serialized by yet another lock, for example, the one in nmi_cpu_backtrace(). + The other CPU might get stopped in NMI, see smp_send_stop() in panic(). The only safe solution is to use trylock when storing the message into the main log-buffer. It might cause reordering when some lines go to the main lock buffer directly and others are delayed via the per-CPU buffer. It means that it is not useful in general. This patch replaces the problematic NMI deferred context with NMI direct context. It can be used to mark a code that might produce many messages in NMI and the risk of losing them is more critical than problems with eventual reordering. The context is then used when dumping trace buffers on oops. It was the primary motivation for the original fix. Also the reordering is even smaller issue there because some traces have their own time stamps. Finally, nmi_cpu_backtrace() need not longer be serialized because it will always us the per-CPU buffers again.

2018-06-27printk: make sure to print log on console.Maninder Singh
This patch make sure printing of log on console if loglevel at time of storing log is less than current console loglevel. @why In SMP printk can work asynchronously, logs can be missed on console because it checks current log level at time of console_unlock, not at time of storing logs. func() { .... .... console_verbose(); // user wants to have all the logs on console. pr_alert(); dump_backtrace(); //prints with default loglevel. ... console_silent(); // stop all logs from printing on console. } Now if console_lock was owned by another process, the messages might be handled after the consoles were silenced. Reused flag LOG_NOCONS as its usage is gone long back by the commit 5c2992ee7fd8a29d0412 ("printk: remove console flushing special cases for partial buffered lines"). Note that there are still some corner cases where this patch is not enough. For example, when the messages are flushed later from printk_safe buffers or when there are races between console_verbose() and console_silent() callers.

Otherwise, theoretically, we can deadlock on logbuf trying to flush per-CPU buffers: a) Panic CPU is running in non-NMI context b) Panic CPU sends out shutdown IPI via reboot vector c) Panic CPU fails to stop all remote CPUs d) Panic CPU sends out shutdown IPI via NMI vector One of the CPUs that we bring down via NMI vector can hold logbuf spin lock (theoretically).

2018-04-25printk: wake up klogd in vprintk_emitSergey Senozhatsky
We wake up klogd very late - only when current console_sem owner is done pushing pending kernel messages to the serial/net consoles. In some cases this results in lost syslog messages, because kernel log buffer is a circular buffer and if we don't wakeup syslog long enough there are chances that logbuf simply will wrap around. The patch moves the klogd wake up call to vprintk_emit(), which is the only legit way for a kernel message to appear in the logbuf, right after the attempt to handle consoles. As a result, klogd will get waken either after flushing the new message to consoles or immediately when consoles are still busy with older messages.

2018-02-27printk: Wake klogd when passing console_lock ownerPetr Mladek
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() ...

Some of the obvious brainos found in process are fixed (e.g. POLLIN misspelled as POLL_IN).

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 Senozhatsky
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)
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".

2018-01-04printk: add console_msg_format command line optionSergey Senozhatsky
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". Per Kevin Hilman: : Right now we can get this info from a "dmesg --raw" after bootup, : but it would be really nice in certain automation frameworks to : have a kernel command-line option to enable printing of loglevels : in default boot log. : : This is especially useful when ingesting kernel logs into advanced : search/analytics frameworks (I'm playing with and ELK stack: Elastic : Search, Logstash, Kibana). : : The other important reason for having this on the command line is that : for testing linux-next (and other bleeding edge developer branches), : it's common that we never make it to userspace, so can't even run : "dmesg --raw" (or equivalent.) So we really want this on the primary : boot (serial) console. Per Fengguang Wu, 0day scripts should quickly benefit from that feature, because they will be able to switch to a more reliable parsing, based on messages' facility and log levels [1]: `#{grep} -a -E -e '^<[0123]>' -e '^kern :(err |crit |alert |emerg )' instead of doing text pattern matching `#{grep} -a -F -f /lkp/printk-error-messages #{kmsg_file} | grep -a -v -E -f #{LKP_SRC}/etc/oops-pattern | grep -a -v -F -f #{LKP_SRC}/etc/kmsg-blacklist` [1] https://github.com/fengguang/lkp-tests/blob/master/lib/dmesg.rb Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171221054149.4398-1-sergey.senozhatsky@gmail.com To: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Fengguang Wu <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Cc: Kevin Hilman <khilman@baylibre.com> Cc: Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: LKML <linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Fengguang Wu <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Kevin Hilman <khilman@baylibre.com> Tested-by: Kevin Hilman <khilman@baylibre.com> Signed-off-by: Petr Mladek <pmladek@suse.com>
