Merge tag 'printk-for-5.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux

2021-04-28T01:09:44Z

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek: - Stop synchronizing kernel log buffer readers by logbuf_lock. As a result, the access to the buffer is fully lockless now. Note that printk() itself still uses locks because it tries to flush the messages to the console immediately. Also the per-CPU temporary buffers are still there because they prevent infinite recursion and serialize backtraces from NMI. All this is going to change in the future. - kmsg_dump API rework and cleanup as a side effect of the logbuf_lock removal. - Make bstr_printf() aware that %pf and %pF formats could deference the given pointer. - Show also page flags by %pGp format. - Clarify the documentation for plain pointer printing. - Do not show no_hash_pointers warning multiple times. - Update Senozhatsky email address. - Some clean up. * tag 'printk-for-5.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux: (24 commits) lib/vsprintf.c: remove leftover 'f' and 'F' cases from bstr_printf() printk: clarify the documentation for plain pointer printing kernel/printk.c: Fixed mundane typos printk: rename vprintk_func to vprintk vsprintf: dump full information of page flags in pGp mm, slub: don't combine pr_err with INFO mm, slub: use pGp to print page flags MAINTAINERS: update Senozhatsky email address lib/vsprintf: do not show no_hash_pointers message multiple times printk: console: remove unnecessary safe buffer usage printk: kmsg_dump: remove _nolock() variants printk: remove logbuf_lock printk: introduce a kmsg_dump iterator printk: kmsg_dumper: remove @active field printk: add syslog_lock printk: use atomic64_t for devkmsg_user.seq printk: use seqcount_latch for clear_seq printk: introduce CONSOLE_LOG_MAX printk: consolidate kmsg_dump_get_buffer/syslog_print_all code printk: refactor kmsg_dump_get_buffer() ...

kdb: Refactor env variables get/set code

2021-04-14T12:47:09Z

Add two new kdb environment access methods as kdb_setenv() and kdb_printenv() in order to abstract out environment access code from kdb command functions. Also, replace (char *)0 with NULL as an initializer for environment variables array.

printk: kmsg_dump: remove _nolock() variants

2021-03-08T10:43:35Z

kmsg_dump_rewind() and kmsg_dump_get_line() are lockless, so there is no need for _nolock() variants. Remove these functions and switch all callers of the _nolock() variants. The functions without _nolock() were chosen because they are already exported to kernel modules.

printk: introduce a kmsg_dump iterator

2021-03-08T10:43:27Z

Rather than storing the iterator information in the registered kmsg_dumper structure, create a separate iterator structure. The kmsg_dump_iter structure can reside on the stack of the caller, thus allowing lockless use of the kmsg_dump functions. Update code that accesses the kernel logs using the kmsg_dumper structure to use the new kmsg_dump_iter structure. For kmsg_dumpers, this also means adding a call to kmsg_dump_rewind() to initialize the iterator. All this is in preparation for removal of @logbuf_lock.

printk: kmsg_dumper: remove @active field

2021-03-08T10:43:23Z

All 6 kmsg_dumpers do not benefit from the @active flag: (provide their own synchronization) - arch/powerpc/kernel/nvram_64.c - arch/um/kernel/kmsg_dump.c - drivers/mtd/mtdoops.c - fs/pstore/platform.c (only dump on KMSG_DUMP_PANIC, which does not require synchronization) - arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/opal-kmsg.c - drivers/hv/vmbus_drv.c The other 2 kmsg_dump users also do not rely on @active: (hard-code @active to always be true) - arch/powerpc/xmon/xmon.c - kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_main.c Therefore, @active can be removed.

kgdb: fix to kill breakpoints on initmem after boot

2021-02-26T17:41:05Z

Currently breakpoints in kernel .init.text section are not handled correctly while allowing to remove them even after corresponding pages have been freed. Fix it via killing .init.text section breakpoints just prior to initmem pages being freed. Doug: "HW breakpoints aren't handled by this patch but it's probably not such a big deal".

kgdb: Remove kgdb_schedule_breakpoint()

2021-02-11T10:51:56Z

To the very best of my knowledge there has never been any in-tree code that calls this function. It exists largely to support an out-of-tree driver that provides kgdb-over-ethernet using the netpoll API. kgdboe has been out-of-tree for more than 10 years and I don't recall any serious attempt to upstream it at any point in the last five. At this stage it looks better to stop carrying this code in the kernel and integrate the code into the out-of-tree driver instead. The long term trajectory for the kernel looks likely to include effort to remove or reduce the use of tasklets (something that has also been true for the last 10 years). Thus the main real reason for this patch is to make explicit that the in-tree kgdb features do not require tasklets.
