* printk: fix comment for printk ratelimitingUwe Kleine-König2008-07-30
| | | | | | | | | | The comment assumed the burst to be one and the ratelimit used to be named printk_ratelimit_jiffies.

* printk ratelimiting rewriteDave Young2008-07-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All ratelimit user use same jiffies and burst params, so some messages (callbacks) will be lost. For example: a call printk_ratelimit(5 * HZ, 1) b call printk_ratelimit(5 * HZ, 1) before the 5*HZ timeout of a, then b will will be supressed. - rewrite __ratelimit, and use a ratelimit_state as parameter. Thanks for hints from andrew. - Add WARN_ON_RATELIMIT, update rcupreempt.h - remove __printk_ratelimit - use __ratelimit in net_ratelimit Signed-off-by: Dave Young <hidave.darkstar@gmail.com> Cc: "David S.

| * printk: don't prefer unsuited consoles on registrationJan Kiszka2008-05-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | console election: If some console happens to be registered first which does not provide a tty binding (!console->device), it prevents that more suited consoles which are registered later on can enter the candidate pool for console_device(). This is observable with KGDB's console which may already be registered (and exploited!) during early debugger connections, that is before any regular console registration. This patch fixes the issue by postponing the final, automated preferred_console selection until someone with a non-NULL device handler comes around.

* | xen: Enable console tty by default in domU if it's not a dummyMarkus Armbruster2008-05-27
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Without console= arguments on the kernel command line, the first console to register becomes enabled and the preferred console (the one behind /dev/console). This is normally tty (assuming CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is enabled, which it commonly is). This is okay as long tty is a useful console. But unless we have the PV framebuffer, and it is enabled for this domain, tty0 in domU is merely a dummy. In that case, we want the preferred console to be the Xen console hvc0, and we want it without having to fiddle with the kernel command line. Commit b8c2d3dfbc117dff26058fbac316b8acfc2cb5f7 did that for us. Since we now have the PV framebuffer, we want to enable and prefer tty again, but only when PVFB is enabled. But even then we still want to enable the Xen console as well. Problem: when tty registers, we can't yet know whether the PVFB is enabled. By the time we can know (xenstore is up), the console setup game is over. Solution: enable console tty by default, but keep hvc as the preferred console. Change the preferred console to tty when PVFB probes successfully, unless we've been given console kernel parameters.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When I cleaned up printk() and split up the printk locking logic in commit 266c2e0abeca649fa6667a1a427ad1da507c6375 ("Make printk() console semaphore accesses sensible") I had incorrectly moved the call to have_callable_console() outside of the console semaphore. That was buggy. The console semaphore protects the console_drivers list that is used by have_callable_console().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We're exporting an __init function, oops :-) The core issue here is that add_preferred_console() is marked as __init, this makes it impossible to invoke this thing from a driver probe routine which is what the Sparc serial drivers need to do. There is no harm in dropping the __init marker. This code will actually work properly when invoked from a modular driver, except that init will probably not pick up the console change without some other support code. Then we can drop the __init from sunserial_console_match() and we're no longer exporting an __init function to modules. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* serial: turn serial console suspend a boot rather than compile time optionAndres Salomon2007-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, there's a CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND that allows one to stop the serial console from being suspended when the rest of the machine goes to sleep. This is incredibly useful for debugging power management-related things; however, having it as a compile-time option has proved to be incredibly inconvenient for us (OLPC). There are plenty of times that we want serial console to not suspend, but for the most part we'd like serial console to be suspended. This drops CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND, and replaces it with a kernel boot parameter (no_console_suspend). By default, the serial console will be suspended along with the rest of the system; by passing 'no_console_suspend' to the kernel during boot, serial console will remain alive during suspend. For now, this is pretty serial console specific; further fixes could be applied to make this work for things like netconsole. Signed-off-by: Andres Salomon <dilinger@debian.org> Acked-by: "Rafael J.

* printk: add interfaces for external access to the log bufferMike Frysinger2007-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add two new functions for reading the kernel log buffer. The intention is for them to be used by recovery/dump/debug code so the kernel log can be easily retrieved/parsed in a crash scenario, but they are generic enough for other people to dream up other fun uses.

* slow down printk during bootRandy Dunlap2007-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Optionally add a boot delay after each kernel printk() call, crudely measured in milliseconds, with a maximum delay of 10 seconds per printk. Enable CONFIG_BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY=y and then add (e.g.): "lpj=loops_per_jiffy boot_delay=100" to the kernel command line. It has been useful in cases like "during boot, my machine just reboots or the screen goes black" by slowing down printk, (and adding initcall_debug), we can usually see the last thing that happened before the lights went out which is usually a valuable clue.

The current implementation spews garbage out the bootconsole in this case, since the bootconsole structure is normally in the init section, and is freed, but still used.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | kernel/printk.c: document possible deadlock against scheduler The printk's comment states that it can be called from every context, which might lead to false illusion that it could be called from everywhere without any restrictions. This is however not true - a call to printk() could deadlock if called from scheduler code (namely from schedule(), wake_up(), etc) on runqueue lock when it tries to wake up klogd. Document this.

* add printk.time option, deprecate 'time'Randy Dunlap2007-07-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow printk_time to be enabled or disabled at boot time. Previously it could be enabled only, but not disabled. Change printk_time from an int to a bool since that's what it is. Make its logical (exposed) name just be "time" (was "printk_time"). Note: Changes kernel boot option syntax from "time" to "printk.time=value". Since printk_time is declared as a module_param, it can also be changed at run-time by modifying /sys/module/printk/parameters/time to a value of 1/Y/y to enabled it or 0/N/n to disable it. Since printk_time is declared as a module_param, its value can also be set at boot-time by using linux printk.time=<bool> If the "time" boot option is used, print a message that it is deprecated and will be removed. Note its planned removal in feature-removal-schedule.txt.

* serial: convert early_uart to earlycon for 8250Yinghai Lu2007-07-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Beacuse SERIAL_PORT_DFNS is removed from include/asm-i386/serial.h and include/asm-x86_64/serial.h. the serial8250_ports need to be probed late in serial initializing stage. the console_init=>serial8250_console_init=> register_console=>serial8250_console_setup will return -ENDEV, and console ttyS0 can not be enabled at that time. need to wait till uart_add_one_port in drivers/serial/serial_core.c to call register_console to get console ttyS0. that is too late. Make early_uart to use early_param, so uart console can be used earlier. Make it to be bootconsole with CON_BOOT flag, so can use console handover feature. and it will switch to corresponding normal serial console automatically. new command line will be: console=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8 console=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8 or earlycon=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8 earlycon=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8 it will print in very early stage: Early serial console at I/O port 0x3f8 (options '9600n8') console [uart0] enabled later for console it will print: console handover: boot [uart0] -> real [ttyS0] Signed-off-by: <yinghai.lu@sun.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Cc: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> Cc: Russell King <rmk@arm.linux.org.uk> Cc: Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
