printk: restore flushing of NMI buffers on remote CPUs after NMI backtraces

2021-11-10T15:12:00Z

printk from NMI context relies on irq work being raised on the local CPU to print to console. This can be a problem if the NMI was raised by a lockup detector to print lockup stack and regs, because the CPU may not enable irqs (because it is locked up). Introduce printk_trigger_flush() that can be called another CPU to try to get those messages to the console, call that where printk_safe_flush was previously called.

printk: Add printk.console_no_auto_verbose boot parameter

2021-07-29T14:29:35Z

console_verbose() increases console loglevel to CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_MOTORMOUTH, which provides more information to debug a panic/oops. Unfortunately, in Arista we maintain some DUTs (Device Under Test) that are configured to have 9600 baud rate. While verbose console messages have their value to post-analyze crashes, on such setup they: - may prevent panic/oops messages being printed - take too long to flush on console resulting in watchdog reboot In all our setups we use kdump which saves dmesg buffer after panic, so in reality those extra messages on console provide no additional value, but rather add risk of not getting to __crash_kexec(). Provide printk.console_no_auto_verbose boot parameter, which allows to switch off printk being verbose on oops/panic/lockdep.

printk: remove NMI tracking

2021-07-26T13:09:44Z

All NMI contexts are handled the same as the safe context: store the message and defer printing. There is no need to have special NMI context tracking for this. Using in_nmi() is enough. There are several parts of the kernel that are manually calling into the printk NMI context tracking in order to cause general printk deferred printing: arch/arm/kernel/smp.c arch/powerpc/kexec/crash.c kernel/trace/trace.c For arm/kernel/smp.c and powerpc/kexec/crash.c, provide a new function pair printk_deferred_enter/exit that explicitly achieves the same objective. For ftrace, remove the printk context manipulation completely. It was added in commit 03fc7f9c99c1 ("printk/nmi: Prevent deadlock when accessing the main log buffer in NMI"). The purpose was to enforce storing messages directly into the ring buffer even in NMI context. It really should have only modified the behavior in NMI context. There is no need for a special behavior any longer. All messages are always stored directly now. The console deferring is handled transparently in vprintk().

printk: remove safe buffers

2021-07-26T13:09:34Z

With @logbuf_lock removed, the high level printk functions for storing messages are lockless. Messages can be stored from any context, so there is no need for the NMI and safe buffers anymore. Remove the NMI and safe buffers. Although the safe buffers are removed, the NMI and safe context tracking is still in place. In these contexts, store the message immediately but still use irq_work to defer the console printing. Since printk recursion tracking is in place, safe context tracking for most of printk is not needed. Remove it. Only safe context tracking relating to the console and console_owner locks is left in place. This is because the console and console_owner locks are needed for the actual printing.
