fb83772959 seqlock/latch: Provide raw_read_seqcount_latch_retry()
[ Upstream commit d16317de9b ]

The read side of seqcount_latch consists of:

  do {
    seq = raw_read_seqcount_latch(&latch->seq);
    ...
  } while (read_seqcount_latch_retry(&latch->seq, seq));

which is asymmetric in the raw_ department, and sure enough,
read_seqcount_latch_retry() includes (explicit) instrumentation where
raw_read_seqcount_latch() does not.

This inconsistency becomes a problem when trying to use it from
noinstr code. As such, fix it by renaming and re-implementing
raw_read_seqcount_latch_retry() without the instrumentation.

Specifically the instrumentation in question is kcsan_atomic_next(0)
in do___read_seqcount_retry(). Loosing this annotation is not a
problem because raw_read_seqcount_latch() does not pass through
kcsan_atomic_next(KCSAN_SEQLOCK_REGION_MAX).

b8073c069a serial: Lock console when calling into driver before registration
[ Upstream commit 801410b26a ]

During the handoff from earlycon to the real console driver, we have
two separate drivers operating on the same device concurrently. In the
case of the 8250 driver these concurrent accesses cause problems due
to the driver's use of banked registers, controlled by LCR.DLAB. It is
possible for the setup(), config_port(), pm() and set_mctrl() callbacks
to set DLAB, which can cause the earlycon code that intends to access
TX to instead access DLL, leading to missed output and corruption on
the serial line due to unintended modifications to the baud rate.

In particular, for setup() we have:

univ8250_console_setup()
-> serial8250_console_setup()
-> uart_set_options()
-> serial8250_set_termios()
-> serial8250_do_set_termios()
-> serial8250_do_set_divisor()

For config_port() we have:

serial8250_config_port()
-> autoconfig()

For pm() we have:

serial8250_pm()
-> serial8250_do_pm()
-> serial8250_set_sleep()

For set_mctrl() we have (for some devices):

serial8250_set_mctrl()
-> omap8250_set_mctrl()
-> __omap8250_set_mctrl()

To avoid such problems, let's make it so that the console is locked
during pre-registration calls to these callbacks, which will prevent
the earlycon driver from running concurrently.

Remove the partial solution to this problem in the 8250 driver
that locked the console only during autoconfig_irq(), as this would
result in a deadlock with the new approach. The console continues
to be locked during autoconfig_irq() because it can only be called
through uart_configure_port().

Although this patch introduces more locking than strictly necessary
(and in particular it also locks during the call to rs485_config()
which is not affected by this issue as far as I can tell), it follows
the principle that it is the responsibility of the generic console
code to manage the earlycon handoff by ensuring that earlycon and real
console driver code cannot run concurrently, and not the individual
drivers.

d73b916bcc printk: Disable passing console lock owner completely during panic()
[ Upstream commit d04d5882cd ]

The commit d51507098f ("printk: disable optimistic spin
during panic") added checks to avoid becoming a console waiter
if a panic is in progress.

However, the transition to panic can occur while there is
already a waiter. The current owner should not pass the lock to
the waiter because it might get stopped or blocked anytime.

Also the panic context might pass the console lock owner to an
already stopped waiter by mistake. It might happen when
console_flush_on_panic() ignores the current lock owner, for
example:

CPU0                                CPU1
----                                ----
console_lock_spinning_enable()
                                    console_trylock_spinning()
                                      [CPU1 now console waiter]
NMI: panic()
  panic_other_cpus_shutdown()
                                    [stopped as console waiter]
  console_flush_on_panic()
    console_lock_spinning_enable()
    [print 1 record]
    console_lock_spinning_disable_and_check()
      [handover to stopped CPU1]

This results in panic() not flushing the panic messages.

Fix these problems by disabling all spinning operations
completely during panic().

Another advantage is that it prevents possible deadlocks caused
by "console_owner_lock". The panic() context does not need to
take it any longer. The lockless checks are safe because the
functions become NOPs when they see the panic in progress. All
operations manipulating the state are still synchronized by the
lock even when non-panic CPUs would notice the panic
synchronously.

The current owner might stay spinning. But non-panic() CPUs
would get stopped anyway and the panic context will never start
spinning.

6ca28642dd printk: Consolidate console deferred printing
[ Upstream commit 696ffaf50e ]

Printing to consoles can be deferred for several reasons:

- explicitly with printk_deferred()
- printk() in NMI context
- recursive printk() calls

The current implementation is not consistent. For printk_deferred(),
irq work is scheduled twice. For NMI und recursive, panic CPU
suppression and caller delays are not properly enforced.

Correct these inconsistencies by consolidating the deferred printing
code so that vprintk_deferred() is the top-level function for
deferred printing and vprintk_emit() will perform whichever irq_work
queueing is appropriate.

Also add kerneldoc for wake_up_klogd() and defer_console_output() to
clarify their differences and appropriate usage.

13ebf3ff08 printk: Keep non-panic-CPUs out of console lock
[ Upstream commit 51a1d258e5 ]

When in a panic situation, non-panic CPUs should avoid holding the
console lock so as not to contend with the panic CPU. This is already
implemented with abandon_console_lock_in_panic(), which is checked
after each printed line. However, non-panic CPUs should also avoid
trying to acquire the console lock during a panic.

Modify console_trylock() to fail and console_lock() to block() when
called from a non-panic CPU during a panic.

commit 53e9e33ede upstream.

If an output buffer size exceeded U16_MAX, the min_t(u16, ...) cast in

bytes being skipped, seen as %NUL bytes in pstore dumps when the available

When suspending, these functions are called by the serial subsystem
while the serial port is suspended. In this scenario, if there are
any pending messages, a call to pr_flush() will always result in a
timeout because the serial port cannot make forward progress. This
causes longer suspend and resume times.

Add a check in pr_flush() so that it will immediately timeout if
the consoles are suspended.

b87f02307d printk: Wait for the global console lock when the system is going down
There are reports that the console kthreads block the global console
lock when the system is going down, for example, reboot, panic.

First part of the solution was to block kthreads in these problematic
system states so they stopped handling newly added messages.

Second part of the solution is to wait when for the kthreads when
they are actively printing. It solves the problem when a message
was printed before the system entered the problematic state and
the kthreads managed to step in.

A busy waiting has to be used because panic() can be called in any
context and in an unknown state of the scheduler.

There must be a timeout because the kthread might get stuck or sleeping
and never release the lock. The timeout 10s is an arbitrary value
inspired by the softlockup timeout.

c3230283e2 printk: Block console kthreads when direct printing will be required
There are known situations when the console kthreads are not
reliable or does not work in principle, for example, early boot,
panic, shutdown.

For these situations there is the direct (legacy) mode when printk() tries
to get console_lock() and flush the messages directly. It works very well
during the early boot when the console kthreads are not available at all.
It gets more complicated in the other situations when console kthreads
might be actively printing and block console_trylock() in printk().

The same problem is in the legacy code as well. Any console_lock()
owner could block console_trylock() in printk(). It is solved by
a trick that the current console_lock() owner is responsible for
printing all pending messages. It is actually the reason why there
is the risk of softlockups and why the console kthreads were
introduced.

The console kthreads use the same approach. They are responsible
for printing the messages by definition. So that they handle
the messages anytime when they are awake and see new ones.
The global console_lock is available when there is nothing
to do.

It should work well when the problematic context is correctly
detected and printk() switches to the direct mode. But it seems
that it is not enough in practice. There are reports that
the messages are not printed during panic() or shutdown()
even though printk() tries to use the direct mode here.

The problem seems to be that console kthreads become active in these
situation as well. They steel the job before other CPUs are stopped.
Then they are stopped in the middle of the job and block the global
console_lock.

First part of the solution is to block console kthreads when
the system is in a problematic state and requires the direct
printk() mode.

809631e2bf Revert "printk: wake up all waiters"
This reverts commit 938ba4084a.

The wait queue @log_wait never has exclusive waiters, so there
is no need to use wake_up_interruptible_all(). Using
wake_up_interruptible() was the correct function to wake all
waiters.

Since there are no exclusive waiters, erroneously changing
wake_up_interruptible() to wake_up_interruptible_all() did not
result in any behavior change. However, using
wake_up_interruptible_all() on a wait queue without exclusive
waiters is fundamentally wrong.

Go back to using wake_up_interruptible() to wake all waiters.

701850dc0c printk, tracing: fix console tracepoint
The original intent of the 'console' tracepoint per the commit 9510035849
("printk/tracing: Add console output tracing") had been to "[...] record
any printk messages into the trace, regardless of the current console
loglevel. This can help correlate (existing) printk debugging with other
tracing."

Petr points out [1] that calling trace_console_rcuidle() in
call_console_driver() had been the wrong thing for a while, because
"printk() always used console_trylock() and the message was flushed to
the console only when the trylock succeeded. And it was always deferred
in NMI or when printed via printk_deferred()."

With the commit 09c5ba0aa2 ("printk: add kthread console printers"),
things only got worse, and calls to call_console_driver() no longer
happen with typical printk() calls but always appear deferred [2].

As such, the tracepoint can no longer serve its purpose to clearly
correlate printk() calls and other tracing, as well as breaks usecases
that expect every printk() call to result in a callback of the console
tracepoint. Notably, the KFENCE and KCSAN test suites, which want to
capture console output and assume a printk() immediately gives us a
callback to the console tracepoint.

Fix the console tracepoint by moving it into printk_sprint() [3].

One notable difference is that by moving tracing into printk_sprint(),
the 'text' will no longer include the "header" (loglevel and timestamp),
but only the raw message. Arguably this is less of a problem now that
the console tracepoint happens on the printk() call and isn't delayed.

8e27473211 printk: extend console_lock for per-console locking
Currently threaded console printers synchronize against each
other using console_lock(). However, different console drivers
are unrelated and do not require any synchronization between
each other. Removing the synchronization between the threaded
console printers will allow each console to print at its own
speed.

But the threaded consoles printers do still need to synchronize
against console_lock() callers. Introduce a per-console mutex
and a new console boolean field @blocked to provide this
synchronization.

console_lock() is modified so that it must acquire the mutex
of each console in order to set the @blocked field. Console
printing threads will acquire their mutex while printing a
record. If @blocked was set, the thread will go back to sleep
instead of printing.

The reason for the @blocked boolean field is so that
console_lock() callers do not need to acquire multiple console
mutexes simultaneously, which would introduce unnecessary
complexity due to nested mutex locking. Also, a new field
was chosen instead of adding a new @flags value so that the
blocked status could be checked without concern of reading
inconsistent values due to @flags updates from other contexts.

Threaded console printers also need to synchronize against
console_trylock() callers. Since console_trylock() may be
called from any context, the per-console mutex cannot be used
for this synchronization. (mutex_trylock() cannot be called
from atomic contexts.) Introduce a global atomic counter to
identify if any threaded printers are active. The threaded
printers will also check the atomic counter to identify if the
console has been locked by another task via console_trylock().

Note that @console_sem is still used to provide synchronization
between console_lock() and console_trylock() callers.

A locking overview for console_lock(), console_trylock(), and the
threaded printers is as follows (pseudo code):

console_lock()
{
        down(&console_sem);
        for_each_console(con) {
                mutex_lock(&con->lock);
                con->blocked = true;
                mutex_unlock(&con->lock);
        }
        /* console_lock acquired */
}

console_trylock()
{
        if (down_trylock(&console_sem) == 0) {
                if (atomic_cmpxchg(&console_kthreads_active, 0, -1) == 0) {
                        /* console_lock acquired */
                }
        }
}

threaded_printer()
{
        mutex_lock(&con->lock);
        if (!con->blocked) {
		/* console_lock() callers blocked */

                if (atomic_inc_unless_negative(&console_kthreads_active)) {
                        /* console_trylock() callers blocked */

                        con->write();

                        atomic_dec(&console_lock_count);
                }
        }
        mutex_unlock(&con->lock);
}

The console owner and waiter logic now only applies between contexts
that have taken the console_lock via console_trylock(). Threaded
printers never take the console_lock, so they do not have a
console_lock to handover. Tasks that have used console_lock() will
block the threaded printers using a mutex and if the console_lock
is handed over to an atomic context, it would be unable to unblock
the threaded printers. However, the console_trylock() case is
really the only scenario that is interesting for handovers anyway.

@panic_console_dropped must change to atomic_t since it is no longer
protected exclusively by the console_lock.

Since threaded printers remain asleep if they see that the console
is locked, they now must be explicitly woken in __console_unlock().
This means wake_up_klogd() calls following a console_unlock() are
no longer necessary and are removed.

Also note that threaded printers no longer need to check
@console_suspended. The check for the @blocked field implicitly
covers the suspended console case.

09c5ba0aa2 printk: add kthread console printers
Create a kthread for each console to perform console printing. During
normal operation (@system_state == SYSTEM_RUNNING), the kthread
printers are responsible for all printing on their respective
consoles.

During non-normal operation, console printing is done as it has been:
within the context of the printk caller or within irqwork triggered
by the printk caller, referred to as direct printing.

Since threaded console printers are responsible for all printing
during normal operation, this also includes messages generated via
deferred printk calls. If direct printing is in effect during a
deferred printk call, the queued irqwork will perform the direct
printing. To make it clear that this is the only time that the
irqwork will perform direct printing, rename the flag
PRINTK_PENDING_OUTPUT to PRINTK_PENDING_DIRECT_OUTPUT.

Threaded console printers synchronize against each other and against
console lockers by taking the console lock for each message that is
printed.

Note that the kthread printers do not care about direct printing.
They will always try to print if new records are available. They can
be blocked by direct printing, but will be woken again once direct
printing is finished.

Console unregistration is a bit tricky because the associated
kthread printer cannot be stopped while the console lock is held.
A policy is implemented that states: whichever task clears
con->thread (under the console lock) is responsible for stopping
the kthread. unregister_console() will clear con->thread while
the console lock is held and then stop the kthread after releasing
the console lock.

For consoles that have implemented the exit() callback, the kthread
is stopped before exit() is called.

2bb2b7b57f printk: add functions to prefer direct printing
Once kthread printing is available, console printing will no longer
occur in the context of the printk caller. However, there are some
special contexts where it is desirable for the printk caller to
directly print out kernel messages. Using pr_flush() to wait for
threaded printers is only possible if the caller is in a sleepable
context and the kthreads are active. That is not always the case.

Introduce printk_prefer_direct_enter() and printk_prefer_direct_exit()
functions to explicitly (and globally) activate/deactivate preferred
direct console printing. The term "direct console printing" refers to
printing to all enabled consoles from the context of the printk
caller. The term "prefer" is used because this type of printing is
only best effort. If the console is currently locked or other
printers are already actively printing, the printk caller will need
to rely on the other contexts to handle the printing.

This preferred direct printing is how all printing has been handled
until now (unless it was explicitly deferred).

When kthread printing is introduced, there may be some unanticipated
problems due to kthreads being unable to flush important messages.
In order to minimize such risks, preferred direct printing is
activated for the primary important messages when the system
experiences general types of major errors. These are:

 - emergency reboot/shutdown
 - cpu and rcu stalls
 - hard and soft lockups
 - hung tasks
 - warn
 - sysrq

Note that since kthread printing does not yet exist, no behavior
changes result from this commit. This is only implementing the
counter and marking the various places where preferred direct
printing is active.

03a749e628 printk: move buffer definitions into console_emit_next_record() caller
Extended consoles print extended messages and do not print messages about
dropped records.

Non-extended consoles print "normal" messages as well as extra messages
about dropped records.

Currently the buffers for these various message types are defined within
the functions that might use them and their usage is based upon the
CON_EXTENDED flag. This will be a problem when moving to kthread printers
because each printer must be able to provide its own buffers.

Move all the message buffer definitions outside of
console_emit_next_record(). The caller knows if extended or dropped
messages should be printed and can specify the appropriate buffers to
use. The console_emit_next_record() and call_console_driver() functions
can know what to print based on whether specified buffers are non-NULL.

With this change, buffer definition/allocation/specification is separated
from the code that does the various types of string printing.

a699449bb1 printk: refactor and rework printing logic
Refactor/rework printing logic in order to prepare for moving to
threaded console printing.

- Move @console_seq into struct console so that the current
  "position" of each console can be tracked individually.

- Move @console_dropped into struct console so that the current drop
  count of each console can be tracked individually.

- Modify printing logic so that each console independently loads,
  prepares, and prints its next record.

- Remove exclusive_console logic. Since console positions are
  handled independently, replaying past records occurs naturally.

- Update the comments explaining why preemption is disabled while
  printing from printk() context.

With these changes, there is a change in behavior: the console
replaying the log (formerly exclusive console) will no longer block
other consoles. New messages appear on the other consoles while the
newly added console is still replaying.

b665eae7a7 printk: fix return value of printk.devkmsg __setup handler
If an invalid option value is used with "printk.devkmsg=<value>",
it is silently ignored.
If a valid option value is used, it is honored but the wrong return
value (0) is used, indicating that the command line option had an
error and was not handled. This string is not added to init's
environment strings due to init/main.c::unknown_bootoption()
checking for a '.' in the boot option string and then considering
that string to be an "Unused module parameter".

Print a warning message if a bad option string is used.
Always return 1 from the __setup handler to indicate that the command
line option has been handled.

a5a763b2b2 printk: Set console_set_on_cmdline=1 when __add_preferred_console() is called with user_specified == true
In case of using console="" or console=null
set console_set_on_cmdline=1 to disable "stdout-path" node from DT.

We basically need to set it every time when __add_preferred_console()
is called with parameter 'user_specified' set.
Therefore we can move setting it into a helper function that is
called from __add_preferred_console().

sleepable contexts, such as:

  get_random_bytes()
    warn_unseeded_randomness()
      printk_deferred()
        defer_console_output()

and can be updated from interrupt contexts, such as:

  handle_irq_event_percpu()
    __irq_wake_thread()
      wake_up_process()
        try_to_wake_up()
          select_task_rq()
            select_fallback_rq()
              printk_deferred()
                defer_console_output()

and can be updated from NMI contexts, such as:

  vprintk()
    if (in_nmi()) defer_console_output()

Therefore the atomic variant of the updating functions must be used.

Replace __this_cpu_xchg() with this_cpu_xchg().
Replace __this_cpu_or() with this_cpu_or().

13fb0f74d7 printk: Avoid livelock with heavy printk during panic
During panic(), if another CPU is writing heavily the kernel log (e.g.
via /dev/kmsg), then the panic CPU may livelock writing out its messages
to the console. Note when too many messages are dropped during panic and
suppress further printk, except from the panic CPU. This could result in
some important messages being dropped. However, messages are already
being dropped, so this approach at least prevents a livelock.

d51507098f printk: disable optimistic spin during panic
A CPU executing with console lock spinning enabled might be halted
during a panic. Before the panicking CPU calls console_flush_on_panic(),
it may call console_trylock(), which attempts to optimistically spin,
deadlocking the panic CPU:

CPU 0 (panic CPU)             CPU 1
-----------------             ------
                              printk() {
                                vprintk_func() {
                                  vprintk_default() {
                                    vprintk_emit() {
                                      console_unlock() {
                                        console_lock_spinning_enable();
                                        ... printing to console ...
panic() {
  crash_smp_send_stop() {
    NMI  -------------------> HALT
  }
  atomic_notifier_call_chain() {
    printk() {
      ...
      console_trylock_spinnning() {
        // optimistic spin infinitely

This hang during panic can be induced when a kdump kernel is loaded, and
crash_kexec_post_notifiers=1 is present on the kernel command line. The
following script which concurrently writes to /dev/kmsg, and triggers a
panic, can result in this hang:

    #!/bin/bash
    date
    # 991 chars (based on log buffer size):
    chars="$(printf 'a%.0s' {1..991})"
    while :; do
        echo $chars > /dev/kmsg
    done &
    echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger &
    date
    exit

To avoid this deadlock, ensure that console_trylock_spinning() does not
allow spinning once a panic has begun.

7749861785 printk: Add panic_in_progress helper
This will be used help avoid deadlocks during panics. Although it would
be better to include this in linux/panic.h, it would require that header
to include linux/atomic.h as well. On some architectures, this results
in a circular dependency as well. So instead add the helper directly to
printk.c.

f244b4dc53 printk: ringbuffer: Improve prb_next_seq() performance
prb_next_seq() always iterates from the first known sequence number.
In the worst case, it might loop 8k times for 256kB buffer,
15k times for 512kB buffer, and 64k times for 2MB buffer.

It was reported that polling and reading using syslog interface
might occupy 50% of CPU.

Speedup the search by storing @id of the last finalized descriptor.

The loop is still needed because the @id is stored and read in the best
effort way. An atomic variable is used to keep the @id consistent.
But the stores and reads are not serialized against each other.
The descriptor could get reused in the meantime. The related sequence
number will be used only when it is still valid.

An invalid value should be read _only_ when there is a flood of messages
and the ringbuffer is rapidly reused. The performance is the least
problem in this case.
