Revert "console: don't prefer first registered if DT specifies stdout-path"

2016-11-11T16:12:37Z

This reverts commit 05fd007e4629 ("console: don't prefer first registered if DT specifies stdout-path"). The reverted commit changes existing behavior on which many ARM boards rely. Many ARM small-board-computers, like e.g. the Raspberry Pi have both a video output and a serial console. Depending on whether the user is using the device as a more regular computer; or as a headless device we need to have the console on either one or the other. Many users rely on the kernel behavior of the console being present on both outputs, before the reverted commit the console setup with no console= kernel arguments on an ARM board which sets stdout-path in dt would look like this: [root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/consoles ttyS0 -W- (EC p a) 4:64 tty0 -WU (E p ) 4:1 Where as after the reverted commit, it looks like this: [root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/consoles ttyS0 -W- (EC p a) 4:64 This commit reverts commit 05fd007e4629 ("console: don't prefer first registered if DT specifies stdout-path") restoring the original behavior.

console: don't prefer first registered if DT specifies stdout-path

2016-10-08T01:46:30Z

If a device tree specifies a preferred device for kernel console output via the stdout-path or linux,stdout-path chosen node properties or the stdout alias then the kernel ought to honor it & output the kernel console to that device. As it stands, this isn't the case. Whilst we parse the stdout-path properties & set an of_stdout variable from of_alias_scan(), and use that from of_console_check() to determine whether to add a console device as a preferred console whilst registering it, we also prefer the first registered console if no other has been selected at the time of its registration. This means that if a console other than the one the device tree selects via stdout-path is registered first, we will switch to using it & when the stdout-path console is later registered the call to add_preferred_console() via of_console_check() is too late to do anything useful. In practice this seems to mean that we switch to the dummy console device fairly early & see no further console output: Console: colour dummy device 80x25 console [tty0] enabled bootconsole [ns16550a0] disabled Fix this by not automatically preferring the first registered console if one is specified by the device tree. This allows consoles to be registered but not enabled, and once the driver for the console selected by stdout-path calls of_console_check() the driver will be added to the list of preferred consoles before any other console has been enabled. When that console is then registered via register_console() it will be enabled as expected.

printk: do cond_resched() between lines while outputting to consoles

2016-01-16T19:17:25Z

@console_may_schedule tracks whether console_sem was acquired through lock or trylock. If the former, we're inside a sleepable context and console_conditional_schedule() performs cond_resched(). This allows console drivers which use console_lock for synchronization to yield while performing time-consuming operations such as scrolling. However, the actual console outputting is performed while holding irq-safe logbuf_lock, so console_unlock() clears @console_may_schedule before starting outputting lines. Also, only a few drivers call console_conditional_schedule() to begin with. This means that when a lot of lines need to be output by console_unlock(), for example on a console registration, the task doing console_unlock() may not yield for a long time on a non-preemptible kernel. If this happens with a slow console devices, for example a serial console, the outputting task may occupy the cpu for a very long time. Long enough to trigger softlockup and/or RCU stall warnings, which in turn pile more messages, sometimes enough to trigger the next cycle of warnings incapacitating the system. Fix it by making console_unlock() insert cond_resched() between lines if @console_may_schedule.

printk: implement support for extended console drivers

2015-06-26T00:00:38Z

printk log_buf keeps various metadata for each message including its sequence number and timestamp. The metadata is currently available only through /dev/kmsg and stripped out before passed onto console drivers. We want this metadata to be available to console drivers too so that console consumers can get full information including the metadata and dictionary, which among other things can be used to detect whether messages got lost in transit. This patch implements support for extended console drivers. Consoles can indicate that they want extended messages by setting the new CON_EXTENDED flag and they'll be fed messages formatted the same way as /dev/kmsg. ",,,;\n" If extended consoles exist, in-kernel fragment assembly is disabled. This ensures that all messages emitted to consoles have full metadata including sequence number. The contflag carries enough information to reassemble the fragments from the reader side trivially. Note that this only affects /dev/kmsg. Regular console and /proc/kmsg outputs are not affected by this change. * Extended message formatting for console drivers is enabled iff there are registered extended consoles. * Comment describing /dev/kmsg message format updated to add missing contflag field and help distinguishing variable from verbatim terms.
