2021-06-16printk: Move EXPORT_SYMBOL() closer to vprintk definitionPunit Agrawal
Commit 28e1745b9fa2 ("printk: rename vprintk_func to vprintk") while improving readability by removing vprintk indirection, inadvertently placed the EXPORT_SYMBOL() for the newly renamed function at the end of the file. For reader sanity, and as is convention move the EXPORT_SYMBOL() declaration just after the end of the function.

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

2021-02-10printk: fix deadlock when kernel panicMuchun Song
printk_safe_flush_on_panic() caused the following deadlock on our server: CPU0: CPU1: panic rcu_dump_cpu_stacks kdump_nmi_shootdown_cpus nmi_trigger_cpumask_backtrace register_nmi_handler(crash_nmi_callback) printk_safe_flush __printk_safe_flush raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&read_lock) // send NMI to other processors apic_send_IPI_allbutself(NMI_VECTOR) // NMI interrupt, dead loop crash_nmi_callback printk_safe_flush_on_panic printk_safe_flush __printk_safe_flush // deadlock raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&read_lock) DEADLOCK: read_lock is taken on CPU1 and will never get released. It happens when panic() stops a CPU by NMI while it has been in the middle of printk_safe_flush(). Handle the lock the same way as logbuf_lock. The printk_safe buffers are flushed only when both locks can be safely taken. It can avoid the deadlock _in this particular case_ at expense of losing contents of printk_safe buffers. Note: It would actually be safe to re-init the locks when all CPUs were stopped by NMI. But it would require passing this information from arch-specific code. It is not worth the complexity. Especially because logbuf_lock and printk_safe buffers have been obsoleted by the lockless ring buffer.

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.

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.

2020-04-10printk: 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.

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.

2018-07-09printk/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.

2017-05-19printk: Use the main logbuf in NMI when logbuf_lock is availablePetr Mladek
The commit 42a0bb3f71383b457a7d ("printk/nmi: generic solution for safe printk in NMI") caused that printk stores messages into a temporary buffer in NMI context. The buffer is per-CPU and therefore the size is rather limited. It works quite well for NMI backtraces. But there are longer logs that might get printed in NMI context, for example, lockdep warnings, ftrace_dump_on_oops. The temporary buffer is used to avoid deadlocks caused by logbuf_lock. Also it is needed to avoid races with the other temporary buffer that is used when PRINTK_SAFE_CONTEXT is entered. But the main buffer can be used in NMI if the lock is available and we did not interrupt PRINTK_SAFE_CONTEXT. The lock is checked using raw_spin_is_locked(). It might cause false negatives when the lock is taken on another CPU and this CPU is in the safe context from other reasons. Note that the safe context is used also to get console semaphore or when calling console drivers. For this reason, we do the check in printk_nmi_enter(). It makes the handling consistent for the entire NMI handler and avoids reshuffling of the messages. The patch also defines special printk context that allows to use printk_deferred() in NMI. Note that we could not flush the messages to the consoles because console drivers might use many other internal locks. The newly created vprintk_deferred() disables the preemption only around the irq work handling. It is needed there to keep the consistency between the two per-CPU variables. But there is no reason to disable preemption around vprintk_emit(). Finally, the patch puts back explicit serialization of the NMI backtraces from different CPUs. It was removed by the commit a9edc88093287183ac934b ("x86/nmi: Perform a safe NMI stack trace on all CPUs"). It was not needed because the flushing of the temporary per-CPU buffers was serialized.

2017-02-08printk: report lost messages in printk safe/nmi contextsSergey Senozhatsky
Account lost messages in pritk-safe and printk-safe-nmi contexts and report those numbers during printk_safe_flush(). The patch also moves lost message counter to struct `printk_safe_seq_buf' instead of having dedicated static counters - this simplifies the code.

2017-02-08printk: always use deferred printk when flush printk_safe linesSergey Senozhatsky
Always use printk_deferred() in printk_safe_flush_line(). Flushing can be done from NMI or printk_safe contexts (when we are in panic), so we can't call console drivers, yet still want to store the messages in the logbuf buffer. Therefore we use a deferred printk version.

2017-02-08printk: introduce per-cpu safe_print seq bufferSergey Senozhatsky
This patch extends the idea of NMI per-cpu buffers to regions that may cause recursive printk() calls and possible deadlocks. Namely, printk() can't handle printk calls from schedule code or printk() calls from lock debugging code (spin_dump() for instance); because those may be called with `sem->lock' already taken or any other `critical' locks (p->pi_lock, etc.). An example of deadlock can be vprintk_emit() console_unlock() up() << raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&sem->lock, flags); wake_up_process() try_to_wake_up() ttwu_queue() ttwu_activate() activate_task() enqueue_task() enqueue_task_fair() cfs_rq_of() task_of() WARN_ON_ONCE(!entity_is_task(se)) vprintk_emit() console_trylock() down_trylock() raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&sem->lock, flags) ^^^^ deadlock and some other cases. Just like in NMI implementation, the solution uses a per-cpu `printk_func' pointer to 'redirect' printk() calls to a 'safe' callback, that store messages in a per-cpu buffer and flushes them back to logbuf buffer later. Usage example: printk() printk_safe_enter_irqsave(flags) // // any printk() call from here will endup in vprintk_safe(), // that stores messages in a special per-CPU buffer. // printk_safe_exit_irqrestore(flags) The 'redirection' mechanism, though, has been reworked, as suggested by Petr Mladek. Instead of using a per-cpu @print_func callback we now keep a per-cpu printk-context variable and call either default or nmi vprintk function depending on its value. printk_nmi_entrer/exit and printk_safe_enter/exit, thus, just set/celar corresponding bits in printk-context functions. The patch only adds printk_safe support, we don't use it yet.
