Merge my system logging cleanups, triggered by the broken '\n' patches.
The line continuation handling has been broken basically forever, and
the code to handle the system log records was both confusing and
dubious. And it would do entirely the wrong thing unless you always had
a terminating newline, partly because it couldn't actually see whether a
message was marked KERN_CONT or not (but partly because the LOG_CONT
handling in the recording code was rather confusing too).
This re-introduces a real semantically meaningful KERN_CONT, and fixes
the few places I noticed where it was missing. There are probably more
missing cases, since KERN_CONT hasn't actually had any semantic meaning
for at least four years (other than the checkpatch meaning of "no log
level necessary, this is a continuation line").
This also allows the combination of KERN_CONT and a log level. In that
case the log level will be ignored if the merging with a previous line
is successful, but if a new record is needed, that new record will now
get the right log level.
That also means that you can at least in theory combine KERN_CONT with
the "pr_info()" style helpers, although any use of pr_fmt() prefixing
would make that just result in a mess, of course (the prefix would end
up in the middle of a continuing line).
* printk-cleanups:
printk: make reading the kernel log flush pending lines
printk: re-organize log_output() to be more legible
printk: split out core logging code into helper function
printk: reinstate KERN_CONT for printing continuation lines

That will mean that any possible subsequent continuation will now be
broken up onto a line of its own (since reading the log has finalized
the beginning og the line), but if user space has activated system
logging (or if there's a kernel message dump going on) that is the right
thing to do.
And now that we actually get the continuation flags _right_ for this
all, the user space logger that is reading the kernel messages can
actually see the continuation marker. Not that anybody seems to really
bother with it (or care), but in theory user space can do its own
message stitching.

Avoid some duplicate logic now that we can return early, and update the
comments for the new LOG_CONT world order.
This also stops the continuation flushing from just using random record
flags for the flushing action, instead taking the flags from the proper
original line and updating them as we add continuations to it.

The code that actually decides how to log the message (whether to put it
directly into the record log, whether to append it to an existing
buffered log, or whether to start a new buffered log) is fairly
non-obvious code in the middle of the vprintk_emit() function.
Splitting that code up into a helper function makes it easier to
understand, but perhaps more importantly also allows for the code to
just return early out of the helper function once it has made the
decision about where the new log content goes.

Long long ago the kernel log buffer was a buffered stream of bytes, very
much like stdio in user space. It supported log levels by scanning the
stream and noticing the log level markers at the beginning of each line,
but if you wanted to print a partial line in multiple chunks, you just
did multiple printk() calls, and it just automatically worked.
Except when it didn't, and you had very confusing output when different
lines got all mixed up with each other. Then you got fragment lines
mixing with each other, or with non-fragment lines, because it was
traditionally impossible to tell whether a printk() call was a
continuation or not.
To at least help clarify the issue of continuation lines, we added a
KERN_CONT marker back in 2007 to mark continuation lines:
474925277671 ("printk: add KERN_CONT annotation").
That continuation marker was initially an empty string, and didn't
actuall make any semantic difference. But it at least made it possible
to annotate the source code, and have check-patch notice that a printk()
didn't need or want a log level marker, because it was a continuation of
a previous line.
To avoid the ambiguity between a continuation line that had that
KERN_CONT marker, and a printk with no level information at all, we then
in 2009 made KERN_CONT be a real log level marker which meant that we
could now reliably tell the difference between the two cases.
5fd29d6ccbc9 ("printk: clean up handling of log-levels and newlines")
and we could take advantage of that to make sure we didn't mix up
continuation lines with lines that just didn't have any loglevel at all.
Then, in 2012, the kernel log buffer was changed to be a "record" based
log, where each line was a record that has a loglevel and a timestamp.
You can see the beginning of that conversion in commits
e11fea92e13f ("kmsg: export printk records to the /dev/kmsg interface")
7ff9554bb578 ("printk: convert byte-buffer to variable-length record buffer")
with a number of follow-up commits to fix some painful fallout from that
conversion. Over all, it took a couple of months to sort out most of
it. But the upside was that you could have concurrent readers (and
writers) of the kernel log and not have lines with mixed output in them.
And one particular pain-point for the record-based kernel logging was
exactly the fragmentary lines that are generated in smaller chunks. In
order to still log them as one recrod, the continuation lines need to be
attached to the previous record properly.
However the explicit continuation record marker that is actually useful
for this exact case was actually removed in aroundm the same time by commit
61e99ab8e35a ("printk: remove the now unnecessary "C" annotation for KERN_CONT")
due to the incorrect belief that KERN_CONT wasn't meaningful. The
ambiguity between "is this a continuation line" or "is this a plain
printk with no log level information" was reintroduced, and in fact
became an even bigger pain point because there was now the whole
record-level merging of kernel messages going on.
This patch reinstates the KERN_CONT as a real non-empty string marker,
so that the ambiguity is fixed once again.
But it's not a plain revert of that original removal: in the four years
since we made KERN_CONT an empty string again, not only has the format
of the log level markers changed, we've also had some usage changes in
this area.
For example, some ACPI code seems to use KERN_CONT _together_ with a log
level, and now uses both the KERN_CONT marker and (for example) a
KERN_INFO marker to show that it's an informational continuation of a
line.
Which is actually not a bad idea - if the continuation line cannot be
attached to its predecessor, without the log level information we don't
know what log level to assign to it (and we traditionally just assigned
it the default loglevel). So having both a log level and the KERN_CONT
marker is not necessarily a bad idea, but it does mean that we need to
actually iterate over potentially multiple markers, rather than just a
single one.
Also, since KERN_CONT was still conceptually needed, and encouraged, but
didn't actually _do_ anything, we've also had the reverse problem:
rather than having too many annotations it has too few, and there is bit
rot with code that no longer marks the continuation lines with the
KERN_CONT marker.
So this patch not only re-instates the non-empty KERN_CONT marker, it
also fixes up the cases of bit-rot I noticed in my own logs.
There are probably other cases where KERN_CONT will be needed to be
added, either because it is new code that never dealt with the need for
KERN_CONT, or old code that has bitrotted without anybody noticing.
That said, we should strive to avoid the need for KERN_CONT. It does
result in real problems for logging, and should generally not be seen as
a good feature. If we some day can get rid of the feature entirely,
because nobody does any fragmented printk calls, that would be lovely.
But until that point, let's at mark the code that relies on the hacky
multi-fragment kernel printk's. Not only does it avoid the ambiguity,
it also annotates code as "maybe this would be good to fix some day".
(That said, particularly during single-threaded bootup, the downsides of
KERN_CONT are very limited. Things get much hairier when you have
multiple threads going on and user level reading and writing logs too).

Our XSAVE features are divided into two categories: those that
generate FPU exceptions, and those that do not. MPX and pkeys do
not generate FPU exceptions and thus can not be used lazily. We
disable them when lazy mode is forced on.
We have a pair of masks to collect these two sets of features, but
XFEATURE_MASK_PKRU was added to the wrong mask: XFEATURE_MASK_LAZY.
Fix it by moving the feature to XFEATURE_MASK_EAGER.
Note: this only causes problem if you boot with lazy FPU mode
(eagerfpu=off) which is *not* the default. It also only affects
hardware which is not currently publicly available. It looks like
eager mode is going away, but we still need this patch applied
to any kernel that has protection keys and lazy mode, which is 4.6
through 4.8 at this point, and 4.9 if the lazy removal isn't sent
to Linus for 4.9.

Markus reported that he sees new warnings:
APIC: NR_CPUS/possible_cpus limit of 4 reached. Processor 4/0x84 ignored.
APIC: NR_CPUS/possible_cpus limit of 4 reached. Processor 5/0x85 ignored.
This comes from the recent persistant cpuid - nodeid changes. The code
which emits the warning has been called prior to these changes only for
enabled processors. Now it's called for disabled processors as well to get
the possible cpu accounting correct. So if the kernel is compiled for the
number of actual available/enabled CPUs and the BIOS reports disabled CPUs
as well then the above warnings are printed.
That's a pointless exercise as it only makes sense if there are more CPUs
enabled than the kernel supports.
Nake the warning conditional on enabled processors so we are back to the
state before these changes.

Yinghai reported that the recent changes to make the cpuid - nodeid
relationship permanent causes a cpuid ordering regression on a system which
has 2apic enabled..
The reason is that the ACPI local APIC parser has no sanity check for
apicid 0xff, which is an invalid id. So a CPU id for this invalid local
APIC id is allocated and therefor breaks the cpuid ordering.
Add a sanity check to acpi_parse_lapic() which ignores the invalid id.

the dts changes rely on a clock driver change that has been merged
for v4.9 through the clk tree.
- The Amlogic meson-gxbb (S905) platform gains support for a few
drivers merged through our tree, in particular the network and usb
driver changes are required and included here, and also the clk

- The Allwinner platforms have seen a large-scale change to their clk
drivers and the dts file updates must come after that. This
includes the newly added Nextthing GR8 platform, which is derived
from sun5i/A13.

Pull ARM SoC cleanups from Arnd Bergmann:
"The cleanups for v4.9 are a little larger that usual, but thankfully
that is almost exclusively due to removing a significant number of
files that have become obsolete after the still ongoing conversion of
old board files to devicetree.
- for mach-omap2, which is still the largest platform in arch/arm/,
the conversion to DT is finally complete after the Nokia N900 is
now fully supported there, along with the omap3 LDP, and we can
remove those two board files. If no regressions are found, another
large cleanup for the platform will happen as a follow-up, removing
dead code and restructuring the platform based on being DT-only.
- In mach-imx, similar work is ongoing, but has not come that far.
This time, we remove the obsolete board file for the i.MX1
generation, which like i.MX25, i.MX5, i.MX6, and i.MX7 is now
DT-only. The remaining board files are for i.MX2 and i.MX3 machines
based on old ARM926 or ARM1136 cores that should work with DT in
principle.
- realview has just been converted from board files to DT, and a lot
of code gets removed in the process. This is the last
ARM/Keil/Versatile derived platform that was still using board
files, the other ones being integrator, versatile and vexpress. We
can probably merge the remaining code into a single directory in
the near future.
- clps711x had completed the conversion in v4.8, but we accidentally
left the files in place that should have been deleted then"

If a device tree specifies a preferred device for kernel console output
via the stdout-path or linux,stdout-path chosen node properties or the
stdout alias then the kernel ought to honor it & output the kernel
console to that device. As it stands, this isn't the case. Whilst we
parse the stdout-path properties & set an of_stdout variable from
of_alias_scan(), and use that from of_console_check() to determine
whether to add a console device as a preferred console whilst
registering it, we also prefer the first registered console if no other
has been selected at the time of its registration.
This means that if a console other than the one the device tree selects
via stdout-path is registered first, we will switch to using it & when
the stdout-path console is later registered the call to
add_preferred_console() via of_console_check() is too late to do
anything useful. In practice this seems to mean that we switch to the
dummy console device fairly early & see no further console output:
Console: colour dummy device 80x25
console [tty0] enabled
bootconsole [ns16550a0] disabled
Fix this by not automatically preferring the first registered console if
one is specified by the device tree. This allows consoles to be
registered but not enabled, and once the driver for the console selected
by stdout-path calls of_console_check() the driver will be added to the
list of preferred consoles before any other console has been enabled.
When that console is then registered via register_console() it will be
enabled as expected.

Current supplementary groups code can massively overallocate memory and
is implemented in a way so that access to individual gid is done via 2D
array.
If number of gids is <= 32, memory allocation is more or less tolerable
(140/148 bytes). But if it is not, code allocates full page (!)
regardless and, what's even more fun, doesn't reuse small 32-entry
array.
2D array means dependent shifts, loads and LEAs without possibility to
optimize them (gid is never known at compile time).
All of the above is unnecessary. Switch to the usual
trailing-zero-len-array scheme. Memory is allocated with
kmalloc/vmalloc() and only as much as needed. Accesses become simpler
(LEA 8(gi,idx,4) or even without displacement).
Maximum number of gids is 65536 which translates to 256KB+8 bytes. I
think kernel can handle such allocation.
On my usual desktop system with whole 9 (nine) aux groups, struct
group_info shrinks from 148 bytes to 44 bytes, yay!
Nice side effects:
- "gi->gid[i]" is shorter than "GROUP_AT(gi, i)", less typing,
- fix little mess in net/ipv4/ping.c
should have been using GROUP_AT macro but this point becomes moot,
- aux group allocation is persistent and should be accounted as such.

Git can be told to apply language-specific rules when generating diffs.
Enable this for C source code files (*.c and *.h) so that function names
are printed right. Specifically, doing so prevents "git diff" from
mistakenly considering unindented goto labels as function names.

When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the
output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative. Suppress
messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just
emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN".
We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new
.cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted
PC to see if it lies within that section.
This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in
the minimal framework for other architectures.

Previously tile was rolling its own method of capturing backtrace data
in the NMI handlers, but it was relying on running printk() from the NMI
handler, which is not always safe. So adopt the nmi_backtrace model
(with the new cpumask extension) instead.
So we can call the nmi_backtrace code directly from the nmi handler,
move the nmi_enter()/exit() into the top-level tile NMI handler.
The semantics of the routine change slightly since it is now synchronous
with the remote cores completing the backtraces. Previously it was
asynchronous, but with protection to avoid starting a new remote
backtrace if the old one was still in progress.

Currently on arm there is code that checks whether it should call
dump_stack() explicitly, to avoid trying to raise an NMI when the
current context is not preemptible by the backtrace IPI. Similarly, the
forthcoming arch/tile support uses an IPI mechanism that does not
support generating an NMI to self.
Accordingly, move the code that guards this case into the generic
mechanism, and invoke it unconditionally whenever we want a backtrace of
the current cpu. It seems plausible that in all cases, dump_stack()
will generate better information than generating a stack from the NMI
handler. The register state will be missing, but that state is likely
not particularly helpful in any case.
Or, if we think it is helpful, we should be capturing and emitting the
current register state in all cases when regs == NULL is passed to
nmi_cpu_backtrace().

Patch series "improvements to the nmi_backtrace code" v9.
This patch series modifies the trigger_xxx_backtrace() NMI-based remote
backtracing code to make it more flexible, and makes a few small
improvements along the way.
The motivation comes from the task isolation code, where there are
scenarios where we want to be able to diagnose a case where some cpu is
about to interrupt a task-isolated cpu. It can be helpful to see both
where the interrupting cpu is, and also an approximation of where the
cpu that is being interrupted is. The nmi_backtrace framework allows us
to discover the stack of the interrupted cpu.
I've tested that the change works as desired on tile, and build-tested
x86, arm, mips, and sparc64. For x86 I confirmed that the generic
cpuidle stuff as well as the architecture-specific routines are in the
new cpuidle section. For arm, mips, and sparc I just build-tested it
and made sure the generic cpuidle routines were in the new cpuidle
section, but I didn't attempt to figure out which the platform-specific
idle routines might be. That might be more usefully done by someone
with platform experience in follow-up patches.
This patch (of 4):
Currently you can only request a backtrace of either all cpus, or all
cpus but yourself. It can also be helpful to request a remote backtrace
of a single cpu, and since we want that, the logical extension is to
support a cpumask as the underlying primitive.
This change modifies the existing lib/nmi_backtrace.c code to take a
cpumask as its basic primitive, and modifies the linux/nmi.h code to use
the new "cpumask" method instead.
The existing clients of nmi_backtrace (arm and x86) are converted to
using the new cpumask approach in this change.
The other users of the backtracing API (sparc64 and mips) are converted
to use the cpumask approach rather than the all/allbutself approach.
The mips code ignored the "include_self" boolean but with this change it
will now also dump a local backtrace if requested.

Currently, when min/max are nested within themselves, sparse will warn:
warning: symbol '_min1' shadows an earlier one
originally declared here
warning: symbol '_min1' shadows an earlier one
originally declared here
warning: symbol '_min2' shadows an earlier one
originally declared here
This also immediately happens when min3() or max3() are used.
Since sparse implements __COUNTER__, we can use __UNIQUE_ID() to
generate unique variable names, avoiding this.

Recently, Redhat reported that nvml test suite failed on QEMU/KVM,
more detailed info please refer to:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1365721
Actually, this bug is not only for NVDIMM/DAX but also for any other
file systems. This simple test case abstracted from nvml can easily
reproduce this bug in common environment:
-------------------------- testcase.c -----------------------------
int
is_pmem_proc(const void *addr, size_t len)
{
const char *caddr = addr;
FILE *fp;
if ((fp = fopen("/proc/self/smaps", "r")) == NULL) {
printf("!/proc/self/smaps");
return 0;
}
int retval = 0; /* assume false until proven otherwise */
char line[PROCMAXLEN]; /* for fgets() */
char *lo = NULL; /* beginning of current range in smaps file */
char *hi = NULL; /* end of current range in smaps file */
int needmm = 0; /* looking for mm flag for current range */
while (fgets(line, PROCMAXLEN, fp) != NULL) {
static const char vmflags[] = "VmFlags:";
static const char mm[] = " wr";
/* check for range line */
if (sscanf(line, "%p-%p", &lo, &hi) == 2) {
if (needmm) {
/* last range matched, but no mm flag found */
printf("never found mm flag.\n");
break;
} else if (caddr < lo) {
/* never found the range for caddr */
printf("#######no match for addr %p.\n", caddr);
break;
} else if (caddr < hi) {
/* start address is in this range */
size_t rangelen = (size_t)(hi - caddr);
/* remember that matching has started */
needmm = 1;
/* calculate remaining range to search for */
if (len > rangelen) {
len -= rangelen;
caddr += rangelen;
printf("matched %zu bytes in range "
"%p-%p, %zu left over.\n",
rangelen, lo, hi, len);
} else {
len = 0;
printf("matched all bytes in range "
"%p-%p.\n", lo, hi);
}
}
} else if (needmm && strncmp(line, vmflags,
sizeof(vmflags) - 1) == 0) {
if (strstr(&line[sizeof(vmflags) - 1], mm) != NULL) {
printf("mm flag found.\n");
if (len == 0) {
/* entire range matched */
retval = 1;
break;
}
needmm = 0; /* saw what was needed */
} else {
/* mm flag not set for some or all of range */
printf("range has no mm flag.\n");
break;
}
}
}
fclose(fp);
printf("returning %d.\n", retval);
return retval;
}
void *Addr;
size_t Size;
/*
* worker -- the work each thread performs
*/
static void *
worker(void *arg)
{
int *ret = (int *)arg;
*ret = is_pmem_proc(Addr, Size);
return NULL;
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
if (argc < 2 || argc > 3) {
printf("usage: %s file [env].\n", argv[0]);
return -1;
}
int fd = open(argv[1], O_RDWR);
struct stat stbuf;
fstat(fd, &stbuf);
Size = stbuf.st_size;
Addr = mmap(0, stbuf.st_size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0);
close(fd);
pthread_t threads[NTHREAD];
int ret[NTHREAD];
/* kick off NTHREAD threads */
for (int i = 0; i < NTHREAD; i++)
pthread_create(&threads[i], NULL, worker, &ret[i]);
/* wait for all the threads to complete */
for (int i = 0; i < NTHREAD; i++)
pthread_join(threads[i], NULL);
/* verify that all the threads return the same value */
for (int i = 1; i < NTHREAD; i++) {
if (ret[0] != ret[i]) {
printf("Error i %d ret[0] = %d ret[i] = %d.\n", i,
ret[0], ret[i]);
}
}
printf("%d", ret[0]);
return 0;
}
It failed as some threads can not find the memory region in
"/proc/self/smaps" which is allocated in the main process
It is caused by proc fs which uses 'file->version' to indicate the VMA that
is the last one has already been handled by read() system call. When the
next read() issues, it uses the 'version' to find the VMA, then the next
VMA is what we want to handle, the related code is as follows:
if (last_addr) {
vma = find_vma(mm, last_addr);
if (vma && (vma = m_next_vma(priv, vma)))
return vma;
}
However, VMA will be lost if the last VMA is gone, e.g:
The process VMA list is A->B->C->D
CPU 0 CPU 1
read() system call
handle VMA B
version = B
return to userspace
unmap VMA B
issue read() again to continue to get
the region info
find_vma(version) will get VMA C
m_next_vma(C) will get VMA D
handle D
!!! VMA C is lost !!!
In order to fix this bug, we make 'file->version' indicate the end address
of the current VMA. m_start will then look up a vma which with vma_start
< last_vm_end and moves on to the next vma if we found the same or an
overlapping vma. This will guarantee that we will not miss an exclusive
vma but we can still miss one if the previous vma was shrunk. This is
acceptable because guaranteeing "never miss a vma" is simply not feasible.
User has to cope with some inconsistencies if the file is not read in one
go.

In changing from checking ptrace_may_access(p, PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_FSCREDS)
to capable(CAP_SYS_NICE), I missed that ptrace_my_access succeeds when p
== current, but the CAP_SYS_NICE doesn't.
Thus while the previous commit was intended to loosen the needed
privileges to modify a processes timerslack, it needlessly restricted a
task modifying its own timerslack via the proc/<tid>/timerslack_ns
(which is permitted also via the PR_SET_TIMERSLACK method).
This patch corrects this by checking if p == current before checking the
CAP_SYS_NICE value.
This patch applies on top of my two previous patches currently in -mm

As requested, this patch checks the existing LSM hooks
task_getscheduler/task_setscheduler when reading or modifying the task's
timerslack value.
Previous versions added new get/settimerslack LSM hooks, but since they
checked the same PROCESS__SET/GETSCHED values as existing hooks, it was
suggested we just use the existing ones.

When an interface to allow a task to change another tasks timerslack was
first proposed, it was suggested that something greater then
CAP_SYS_NICE would be needed, as a task could be delayed further then
what normally could be done with nice adjustments.
So CAP_SYS_PTRACE was adopted instead for what became the
/proc/<tid>/timerslack_ns interface. However, for Android (where this
feature originates), giving the system_server CAP_SYS_PTRACE would allow
it to observe and modify all tasks memory. This is considered too high
a privilege level for only needing to change the timerslack.
After some discussion, it was realized that a CAP_SYS_NICE process can
set a task as SCHED_FIFO, so they could fork some spinning processes and
set them all SCHED_FIFO 99, in effect delaying all other tasks for an
infinite amount of time.
So as a CAP_SYS_NICE task can already cause trouble for other tasks,
using it as a required capability for accessing and modifying
/proc/<tid>/timerslack_ns seems sufficient.
Thus, this patch loosens the capability requirements to CAP_SYS_NICE and
removes CAP_SYS_PTRACE, simplifying some of the code flow as well.
This is technically an ABI change, but as the feature just landed in
4.6, I suspect no one is yet using it.
