The distinction has been gone for many years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other operations over time. During the process, we also accumulated other inconsistent operations. This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the duplicate accessor situation. __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr(). Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr(). This converts most of the uses but not all. Christoph will follow up with the remaining conversions in this merge window and hopefully remove the obsolete accessors" * 'for-3.18-consistent-ops' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu: (38 commits) irqchip: Properly fetch the per cpu offset percpu: Resolve ambiguities in __get_cpu_var/cpumask_var_t -fix ia64: sn_nodepda cannot be assigned to after this_cpu conversion.

* | printk: git rid of [sched_delayed] message for printk_deferredMarkus Trippelsdorf2014-10-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 458df9fd4815 ("printk: remove separate printk_sched buffers and use printk buf instead") hardcodes printk_deferred() to KERN_WARNING and inserts the string "[sched_delayed] " before the actual message. However it doesn't take into account the KERN_* prefix of the message, that now ends up in the middle of the output: [sched_delayed] ^a4CE: hpet increased min_delta_ns to 20115 nsec Fix this by just getting rid of the "[sched_delayed] " scnprintf(). The prefix is useless since 458df9fd4815 anyway since from that moment printk_deferred() inserts the message into the kernel printk buffer immediately. So if the message eventually gets printed to console, it is printed in the correct order with other messages and there's no need for any special prefix. And if the kernel crashes before the message makes it to console, then prefix in the printk buffer doesn't make the situation any better.

* | kernel/printk/printk.c: fix faulty logic in the case of recursive printkPatrick Palka2014-09-10
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We shouldn't set text_len in the code path that detects printk recursion because text_len corresponds to the length of the string inside textbuf. A few lines down from the line text_len = strlen(recursion_msg); is the line text_len += vscnprintf(text + text_len, ...); So if printk detects recursion, it sets text_len to 29 (the length of recursion_msg) and logs an error. Then the message supplied by the caller of printk is stored inside textbuf but offset by 29 bytes. This means that the output of the recursive call to printk will contain 29 bytes of garbage in front of it. This defect is caused by commit 458df9fd4815 ("printk: remove separate printk_sched buffers and use printk buf instead") which turned the line text_len = vscnprintf(text, ...); into text_len += vscnprintf(text + text_len, ...); To fix this, this patch avoids setting text_len when logging the printk recursion error. This patch also marks unlikely() the branch leading up to this code.

* printk: enable interrupts before calling console_trylock_for_printk()Jan Kara2014-08-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We need interrupts disabled when calling console_trylock_for_printk() only so that cpu id we pass to can_use_console() remains valid (for other things console_sem provides all the exclusion we need and deadlocks on console_sem due to interrupts are impossible because we use down_trylock()). However if we are rescheduled, we are guaranteed to run on an online cpu so we can easily just get the cpu id in can_use_console(). We can lose a bit of performance when we enable interrupts in vprintk_emit() and then disable them again in console_unlock() but OTOH it can somewhat reduce interrupt latency caused by console_unlock(). We differ from (reverted) commit 939f04bec1a4 in that we avoid calling console_unlock() from vprintk_emit() with lockdep enabled as that has unveiled quite some bugs leading to system freezes during boot (e.g. https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/30/242, https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/6/28/521).

* printk: tweak do_syslog() to match commentsAlex Elder2014-08-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In do_syslog() there's a path used by kmsg_poll() and kmsg_read() that only needs to know whether there's any data available to read (and not its size). These callers only check for non-zero return. As a shortcut, do_syslog() returns the difference between what has been logged and what has been "seen." The comments say that the "count of records" should be returned but it's not. Instead it returns (log_next_idx - syslog_idx), which is a difference between buffer offsets--and the result could be negative. The behavior is the same (it'll be zero or not in the same cases), but the count of records is more meaningful and it matches what the comments say. So change the code to return that.

* printk: allow increasing the ring buffer depending on the number of CPUsLuis R. Rodriguez2014-08-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The default size of the ring buffer is too small for machines with a large amount of CPUs under heavy load. What ends up happening when debugging is the ring buffer overlaps and chews up old messages making debugging impossible unless the size is passed as a kernel parameter. An idle system upon boot up will on average spew out only about one or two extra lines but where this really matters is on heavy load and that will vary widely depending on the system and environment. There are mechanisms to help increase the kernel ring buffer for tracing through debugfs, and those interfaces even allow growing the kernel ring buffer per CPU. We also have a static value which can be passed upon boot. Relying on debugfs however is not ideal for production, and relying on the value passed upon bootup is can only used *after* an issue has creeped up. Instead of being reactive this adds a proactive measure which lets you scale the amount of contributions you'd expect to the kernel ring buffer under load by each CPU in the worst case scenario. We use num_possible_cpus() to avoid complexities which could be introduced by dynamically changing the ring buffer size at run time, num_possible_cpus() lets us use the upper limit on possible number of CPUs therefore avoiding having to deal with hotplugging CPUs on and off. This introduces the kernel configuration option LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT which is used to specify the maximum amount of contributions to the kernel ring buffer in the worst case before the kernel ring buffer flips over, the size is specified as a power of 2. The total amount of contributions made by each CPU must be greater than half of the default kernel ring buffer size (1 << LOG_BUF_SHIFT bytes) in order to trigger an increase upon bootup. The kernel ring buffer is increased to the next power of two that would fit the required minimum kernel ring buffer size plus the additional CPU contribution. For example if LOG_BUF_SHIFT is 18 (256 KB) you'd require at least 128 KB contributions by other CPUs in order to trigger an increase of the kernel ring buffer. With a LOG_CPU_BUF_SHIFT of 12 (4 KB) you'd require at least anything over > 64 possible CPUs to trigger an increase. If you had 128 possible CPUs the amount of minimum required kernel ring buffer bumps to: ((1 << 18) + ((128 - 1) * (1 << 12))) / 1024 = 764 KB Since we require the ring buffer to be a power of two the new required size would be 1024 KB. This CPU contributions are ignored when the "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is used as it forces the exact size of the ring buffer to an expected power of two value.

* printk: move power of 2 practice of ring buffer size to a helperLuis R. Rodriguez2014-08-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In practice the power of 2 practice of the size of the kernel ring buffer remains purely historical but not a requirement, specially now that we have LOG_ALIGN and use it for both static and dynamic allocations. It could have helped with implicit alignment back in the days given the even the dynamically sized ring buffer was guaranteed to be aligned so long as CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT was set to produce a __LOG_BUF_LEN which is architecture aligned, since log_buf_len=n would be allowed only if it was > __LOG_BUF_LEN and we always ended up rounding the log_buf_len=n to the next power of 2 with roundup_pow_of_two(), any multiple of 2 then should be also architecture aligned. These assumptions of course relied heavily on CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT producing an aligned value but users can always change this. We now have precise alignment requirements set for the log buffer size for both static and dynamic allocations, but lets upkeep the old practice of using powers of 2 for its size to help with easy expected scalable values and the allocators for dynamic allocations. We'll reuse this later so move this into a helper. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

* printk: make dynamic kernel ring buffer alignment explicitLuis R. Rodriguez2014-08-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have to consider alignment for the ring buffer both for the default static size, and then also for when an dynamic allocation is made when the log_buf_len=n kernel parameter is passed to set the size specifically to a size larger than the default size set by the architecture through CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default static kernel ring buffer can be aligned properly if architectures set CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT properly, we provide ranges for the size though so even if CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT has a sensible aligned value it can be reduced to a non aligned value. Commit 6ebb017de9 ("printk: Fix alignment of buf causing crash on ARM EABI") by Andrew Lunn ensures the static buffer is always aligned and the decision of alignment is done by the compiler by using __alignof__(struct log). When log_buf_len=n is used we allocate the ring buffer dynamically. Dynamic allocation varies, for the early allocation called before setup_arch() memblock_virt_alloc() requests a page aligment and for the default kernel allocation memblock_virt_alloc_nopanic() requests no special alignment, which in turn ends up aligning the allocation to SMP_CACHE_BYTES, which is L1 cache aligned. Since we already have the required alignment for the kernel ring buffer though we can do better and request explicit alignment for LOG_ALIGN. This does that to be safe and make dynamic allocation alignment explicit. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

* printk: remove separate printk_sched buffers and use printk buf insteadSteven Rostedt2014-06-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To prevent deadlocks with doing a printk inside the scheduler, printk_sched() was created. The issue is that printk has a console_sem that it can grab and release. The release does a wake up if there's a task pending on the sem, and this wake up grabs the rq locks that is held in the scheduler. This leads to a possible deadlock if the wake up uses the same rq as the one with the rq lock held already. What printk_sched() does is to save the printk write in a per cpu buffer and sets the PRINTK_PENDING_SCHED flag. On a timer tick, if this flag is set, the printk() is done against the buffer. There's a couple of issues with this approach. 1) If two printk_sched()s are called before the tick, the second one will overwrite the first one. 2) The temporary buffer is 512 bytes and is per cpu. This is a quite a bit of space wasted for something that is seldom used. In order to remove this, the printk_sched() can use the printk buffer instead, and delay the console_trylock()/console_unlock() to the queued work. Because printk_sched() would then be taking the logbuf_lock, the logbuf_lock must not be held while doing anything that may call into the scheduler functions, which includes wake ups. Unfortunately, printk() also has a console_sem that it uses, and on release, the up(&console_sem) may do a wake up of any pending waiters. This must be avoided while holding the logbuf_lock.

* printk: enable interrupts before calling console_trylock_for_printk()Jan Kara2014-06-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We need interrupts disabled when calling console_trylock_for_printk() only so that cpu id we pass to can_use_console() remains valid (for other things console_sem provides all the exclusion we need and deadlocks on console_sem due to interrupts are impossible because we use down_trylock()). However if we are rescheduled, we are guaranteed to run on an online cpu so we can easily just get the cpu id in can_use_console(). We can lose a bit of performance when we enable interrupts in vprintk_emit() and then disable them again in console_unlock() but OTOH it can somewhat reduce interrupt latency caused by console_unlock() especially since later in the patch series we will want to spin on console_sem in console_trylock_for_printk().

* printk: release lockbuf_lock before calling console_trylock_for_printk()Jan Kara2014-06-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's no reason to hold lockbuf_lock when entering console_trylock_for_printk(). The first thing this function does is to call down_trylock(console_sem) and if that fails it immediately unlocks lockbuf_lock. So lockbuf_lock isn't needed for that branch. When down_trylock() succeeds, the rest of console_trylock() is OK without lockbuf_lock (it is called without it from other places), and the only remaining thing in console_trylock_for_printk() is can_use_console() call. For that call console_sem is enough (it iterates all consoles and checks CON_ANYTIME flag). So we drop logbuf_lock before entering console_trylock_for_printk() which simplifies the code.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Comment about interesting interlocking between lockbuf_lock and console_sem is outdated. It was added in 2002 by commit a880f45a48be during conversion of console_lock to console_sem + lockbuf_lock. At that time release_console_sem() (today's equivalent is console_unlock()) was indeed using lockbuf_lock to avoid races between trylock on console_sem in printk() and unlock of console_sem. However these days the interlocking is gone and the races are avoided by rechecking logbuf state after releasing console_sem.

This patch modifies log_store() to return the number of really stored bytes from the 'text' part. Also it handles the return value in vprintk_emit(). Note that log_store() is used also in cont_flush() but we could ignore the return value there. The function works with characters that were already counted earlier. In addition, the store could newer fail here because the length of the printed text is limited by the "cont" buffer and "dict" is NULL.

If we use the whole buffer, it might get rotated too soon. Let's try to use only 1/4 of the buffer for now. Also shrink the whole dictionary. We do not want to parse it or break it in the middle of some pair of values. It would not cause any real harm but still.

* printk: ignore too long messagesPetr Mladek2014-06-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There was no check for too long messages. The check for free space always passed when first_seq and next_seq were equal. Enough free space was not guaranteed, though. log_store() might be called to store messages up to 64kB + 64kB + 16B. This is sum of maximal text_len, dict_len values, and the size of the structure printk_log. On the other hand, the minimal size for the main log buffer currently is 4kB and it is enforced only by Kconfig. The good news is that the usage looks safe right now. log_store() is called only from vprintk_emit() and cont_flush(). Here the "text" part is always passed via a static buffer and the length is limited to LOG_LINE_MAX which is 1024. The "dict" part is NULL in most cases. The only exceptions is when vprintk_emit() is called from printk_emit() and dev_vprintk_emit(). But printk_emit() is currently used only in devkmsg_writev() and here "dict" is NULL as well. In dev_vprintk_emit(), "dict" is limited by the static buffer "hdr" of the size 128 bytes. It meas that the current maximal printed text is 1024B + 128B + 16B and it always fit the log buffer. But it is only matter of time when someone calls printk_emit() with unsafe parameters, especially the "dict" one. This patch adds a check for the free space when the buffer is empty. It reuses the already existing log_has_space() function but it has to add an extra parameter. It defines whether the buffer is empty. Note that the same values of "first_idx" and "next_idx" might also mean that the buffer is full. If the buffer is empty, we must respect the current position of the indexes. We cannot reset them to the beginning of the buffer. Otherwise, the functions reading the buffer would get crazy. The question is what to do when the message is too long. This patch uses the easiest solution and just ignores the problematic message. Let's do something better in a followup patch.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The check for free space in the log buffer always passes when "first_seq" and "next_seq" are equal. In theory, it might cause writing outside of the log buffer. Fortunately, the current usage looks safe because the used "text" and "dict" buffers are quite limited. See the second patch for more details. Anyway, it is better to be on the safe side and add a check. An easy solution is done in the 2nd patch and it is improved in the 4th patch. 5th patch fixes the computation of the printed message length. 1st and 3rd patches just do some code refactoring to make the other patches easier. This patch (of 5): There will be needed some fixes in the check for free space. They will be easier if the code is moved outside of the quite long log_store() function.

There is a side effect of that commit for platforms having serial consoles and of_serial configured (CONFIG_SERIAL_OF_PLATFORM). The serial console is disabled midway through the boot process. This cessation of the serial console affects PowerPC computers such as the MVME5100 and SAM440EP. The sequence is: bootconsole [udbg0] enabled .... serial8250/16550 driver initialises and registers its UARTS, one of these is the serial console. console [ttyS0] enabled .... of_serial probes "platform" devices, registering them as it goes. One of these is the serial console. console [ttyS0] disabled. The disabling of the serial console is due to: a. unregister_console in printk not clearing the CONS_ENABLED bit in the console flags, even though it has announced that the console is disabled; and b. of_platform_serial_probe in of_serial not setting the port type before it registers with serial8250_register_8250_port.

The left side counts the first unused index. It is unused, so it might be the same as the size of the buffer. Note that the first problem has to be fixed together with the second one.

* printk: fix syslog() overflowing user bufferLinus Torvalds2014-02-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is not a buffer overflow in the traditional sense: we don't overflow any *kernel* buffers, but we do mis-count the amount of data we copy back to user space for the SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL case. In particular, if the user buffer is too small to hold everything, and *if* there is a continuation line at just the right place, we can end up giving the user more data than he asked for. The reason is that we first count up the number of bytes all the log records contains, then we walk the records again until we've skipped the records at the beginning that won't fit, and then we walk the rest of the records and copy them to the user space buffer. And in between that "skip the initial records that won't fit" and the "copy the records that *will* fit to user space", we reset the 'prev' variable that contained the record information for the last record not copied. That meant that when we started copying to user space, we now had a different character count than what we had originally calculated in the first record walk-through. The fix is to simply not clear the 'prev' flags value (in both cases where we had the same logic: syslog_print_all and kmsg_dump_get_buffer: the latter is used for pstore-like dumping) Reported-and-tested-by: Debabrata Banerjee <dbanerje@akamai.com> Acked-by: Kay Sievers <kay@vrfy.org> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* printk: report console names during cut-overKees Cook2013-11-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reports the names of consoles as they're being disabled to help identify which is which during cut-over. Helps answer the question "which boot console actually got activated?" once the regular console is running, mostly when debugging boot console failures.

| * register_console: prevent adding the same console twiceAndreas Bießmann2013-08-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch guards the console_drivers list to be corrupted. The for_each_console() macro insist on a strictly forward list ended by NULL: con0->next->con1->next->NULL Without this patch it may happen easily to destroy this list for example by adding 'earlyprintk' twice, especially on embedded devices where the early console is often a single static instance. This will result in the following list: con0->next->con0 This in turn will result in an endless loop in console_unlock() later on by printing the first __log_buf line endlessly.
