* [PATCH] order of lockdep off/on in vprintk() should be changedMathieu Desnoyers2007-02-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The order of locking between lockdep_off/on() and local_irq_save/restore() in vprintk() should be changed. * In kernel/printk.c : vprintk() does : preempt_disable() local_irq_save() lockdep_off() spin_lock(&logbuf_lock) spin_unlock(&logbuf_lock) if(!down_trylock(&console_sem)) up(&console_sem) lockdep_on() local_irq_restore() preempt_enable() The goals here is to make sure we do not call printk() recursively from kernel/lockdep.c:__lock_acquire() (called from spin_* and down/up) nor from kernel/lockdep.c:trace_hardirqs_on/off() (called from local_irq_restore/save). It can then potentially call printk() through mark_held_locks/mark_lock. It correctly protects against the spin_lock call and the up/down call, but it does not protect against local_irq_restore. It could cause infinite recursive printk/trace_hardirqs_on() calls when printk() is called from the mark_lock() error handing path. We should change the locking so it becomes correct : preempt_disable() lockdep_off() local_irq_save() spin_lock(&logbuf_lock) spin_unlock(&logbuf_lock) if(!down_trylock(&console_sem)) up(&console_sem) local_irq_restore() lockdep_on() preempt_enable() Signed-off-by: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@polymtl.ca> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* [PATCH] Add printk_timed_ratelimit()Andrew Morton2006-11-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | printk_ratelimit() has global state which makes it not useful for callers which wish to perform ratelimiting at a particular frequency. Add a printk_timed_ratelimit() which utilises caller-provided state storage to permit more flexibility. This function can in fact be used for things other than printk ratelimiting and is perhaps poorly named.

* [PATCH] lockdep: fix printk recursion logicIngo Molnar2006-10-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug reported and fixed by Tilman Schmidt <tilman@imap.cc>: if lockdep is enabled then log messages make it to /var/log/messages belatedly. The reason is a missed wakeup of klogd. Initially there was only a lockdep_internal() protection against lockdep recursion within vprintk() - it grew the 'outer' lockdep_off()/on() protection only later on. But that lockdep_off() made the release_console_sem() within vprintk() always happen under the lockdep_internal() condition, causing the bug. The right solution to remove the inner protection against recursion here - the outer one is enough.

* [PATCH] printk time parameterJan Engelhardt2006-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, enabling/disabling printk timestamps is only possible through reboot (bootparam) or recompile. I normally do not run with timestamps (since syslog handles that in a good manner), but for measuring small kernel delays (e.g. irq probing - see parport thread) I needed subsecond precision, but then again, just for some minutes rather than all kernel messages to come. The following patch adds a module_param() with which the timestamps can be en-/disabled in a live system through /sys/modules/printk/parameters/printk_time.

* [PATCH] Make printk work for really early debuggingMichael Ellerman2006-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently printk is no use for early debugging because it refuses to actually print anything to the console unless cpu_online(smp_processor_id()) is true. The stated explanation is that console drivers may require per-cpu resources, or otherwise barf, because the system is not yet setup correctly. Fair enough. However some console drivers might be quite happy running early during boot, in fact we have one, and so it'd be nice if printk understood that. So I added a flag (which I would have called CON_BOOT, but that's taken) called CON_ANYTIME, which indicates that a console is happy to be called anytime, even if the cpu is not yet online. Tested on a Power 5 machine, with both a CON_ANYTIME driver and a bogus console driver that BUG()s if called while offline. No problems AFAICT. Built for i386 UP & SMP.

* [PATCH] console_setup() depends (wrongly?) on CONFIG_PRINTKJohn Z. Bohach2006-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It appears that console_setup() code only gets compiled into the kernel if CONFIG_PRINTK is enabled. One detrimental side-effect of this is that serial8250_console_setup() never gets invoked when CONFIG_PRINTK is not set, resulting in baud rate not being read/parsed from command line (i.e. console=ttyS0,115200n8 is ignored, at least the baud rate part...) Attached patch moves console_setup() code from inside #ifdef CONFIG_PRINTK to outside (in printk.c), removing dependence on said config. option.

* [PATCH] printk return value: fix itGuillaume Chazarain2006-01-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | What's the true meaning of the printk return value? Should it include the priority prefix length of 3? and what about the timing information? In both cases it was broken: strace -e write echo 1 > /dev/kmsg => write(1, "1\n", 2) = 5 strace -e write echo "<1>1" > /dev/kmsg => write(1, "<1>1\n", 5) = 8 The returned length was "length of input string + 3", I made it "length of string output to the log buffer".

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If unregister_console() is inadvertently called while no consoles are registered, it will crash trying to dereference NULL pointer. It is necessary to fix that because register_console() provides no indication that it actually registered the console passed in.

| | | | | | | | | | | In the cpu hotplug case, per-cpu data possibly isn't initialized even the system state is 'running'.

* [PATCH] CON_CONSDEV bit not set correctly on last consoleGreg Edwards2005-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | According to include/linux/console.h, CON_CONSDEV flag should be set on the last console specified on the boot command line: 86 #define CON_PRINTBUFFER (1) 87 #define CON_CONSDEV (2) /* Last on the command line */ 88 #define CON_ENABLED (4) 89 #define CON_BOOT (8) This does not currently happen if there is more than one console specified on the boot commandline. Instead, it gets set on the first console on the command line. This can cause problems for things like kdb that look for the CON_CONSDEV flag to see if the console is valid. Additionaly, it doesn't look like CON_CONSDEV is reassigned to the next preferred console at unregister time if the console being unregistered currently has that bit set. Example (from sn2 ia64): elilo vmlinuz root=<dev> console=ttyS0 console=ttySG0 in this case, the flags on ttySG console struct will be 0x4 (should be 0x6). Attached patch against bk fixes both issues for the cases I looked at. It uses selected_console (which gets incremented for each console specified on the command line) as the indicator of which console to set CON_CONSDEV on. When adding the console to the list, if the previous one had CON_CONSDEV set, it masks it out. Tested on ia64 and x86. The problem with the current behavior is it breaks overriding the default from the boot line. In the ia64 case, there may be a global append line defining console=a in elilo.conf. Then you want to boot your kernel, and want to override the default by passing console=b on the boot line. elilo constructs the kernel cmdline by starting with the value of the global append line, then tacks on whatever else you specify, which puts console=b last.
