panic: Flush kernel log buffer at the end

2024-04-13T11:04:54Z

[ Upstream commit d988d9a9b9d180bfd5c1d353b3b176cb90d6861b ] If the kernel crashes in a context where printk() calls always defer printing (such as in NMI or inside a printk_safe section) then the final panic messages will be deferred to irq_work. But if irq_work is not available, the messages will not get printed unless explicitly flushed. The result is that the final "end Kernel panic" banner does not get printed. Add one final flush after the last printk() call to make sure the final panic messages make it out as well.

panic: Reenable preemption in WARN slowpath

2023-09-23T09:11:09Z

[ Upstream commit cccd32816506cbac3a4c65d9dff51b3125ef1a03 ] Commit: 5a5d7e9badd2 ("cpuidle: lib/bug: Disable rcu_is_watching() during WARN/BUG") amended warn_slowpath_fmt() to disable preemption until the WARN splat has been emitted. However the commit neglected to reenable preemption in the !fmt codepath, i.e. when a WARN splat is emitted without additional format string. One consequence is that users may see more splats than intended. E.g. a WARN splat emitted in a work item results in at least two extra splats: BUG: workqueue leaked lock or atomic (emitted by process_one_work()) BUG: scheduling while atomic (emitted by worker_thread() -> schedule()) Ironically the point of the commit was to *avoid* extra splats. ;) Fix it.

panic: fix the panic_print NMI backtrace setting

2023-03-10T08:34:25Z

commit b905039e428d639adeebb719b76f98865ea38d4d upstream. Commit 8d470a45d1a6 ("panic: add option to dump all CPUs backtraces in panic_print") introduced a setting for the "panic_print" kernel parameter to allow users to request a NMI backtrace on panic. Problem is that the panic_print handling happens after the secondary CPUs are already disabled, hence this option ended-up being kind of a no-op - kernel skips the NMI trace in idling CPUs, which is the case of offline CPUs. Fix it by checking the NMI backtrace bit in the panic_print prior to the CPU disabling function.

cpuidle: lib/bug: Disable rcu_is_watching() during WARN/BUG

2023-03-10T08:33:47Z

[ Upstream commit 5a5d7e9badd2cb8065db171961bd30bd3595e4b6 ] In order to avoid WARN/BUG from generating nested or even recursive warnings, force rcu_is_watching() true during WARN/lockdep_rcu_suspicious(). Notably things like unwinding the stack can trigger rcu_dereference() warnings, which then triggers more unwinding which then triggers more warnings etc..

exit: Use READ_ONCE() for all oops/warn limit reads

commit 7535b832c6399b5ebfc5b53af5c51dd915ee2538 upstream. Use a temporary variable to take full advantage of READ_ONCE() behavior. Without this, the report (and even the test) might be out of sync with the initial test.

kernel/panic: Drop unblank_screen call

2022-09-01T14:55:35Z

console_unblank() does this too (called in both places right after), and with a lot more confidence inspiring approach to locking. Reconstructing this story is very strange: In b61312d353da ("oops handling: ensure that any oops is flushed to the mtdoops console") it is claimed that a printk(" "); flushed out the console buffer, which was removed in e3e8a75d2acf ("[PATCH] Extract and use wake_up_klogd()"). In todays kernels this is done way earlier in console_flush_on_panic with some really nasty tricks. I didn't bother to fully reconstruct this all, least because the call to bust_spinlock(0); gets moved every few years, depending upon how the wind blows (or well, who screamed loudest about the various issue each call site caused). Before that commit the only calls to console_unblank() where in s390 arch code. The other side here is the console->unblank callback, which was introduced in 2.1.31 for the vt driver. Which predates the console_unblank() function by a lot, which was added (without users) in 2.4.14.3. So pretty much impossible to guess at any motivation here. Also afaict the vt driver is the only (and always was the only) console driver implementing the unblank callback, so no idea why a call to console_unblank() was added for the mtdooops driver - the action actually flushing out the console buffers is done from console_unlock() only. Note that as prep for the s390 users the locking was adjusted in 2.5.22 (I couldn't figure out how to properly reference the BK commit from the historical git trees) from a normal semaphore to a trylock. Note that a copy of the direct unblank_screen() call was added to panic() in c7c3f05e341a ("panic: avoid deadlocks in re-entrant console drivers"), which partially inlined the bust_spinlocks(0); call. Long story short, I have no idea why the direct call to unblank_screen survived for so long (the infrastructure to do it properly existed for years), nor why it wasn't removed when the console_unblank() call was finally added. But it makes a ton more sense to finally do that than not - it's just better encapsulation to go through the console functions instead of doing a direct call, so let's dare. Plus it really does not make much sense to call the only unblank implementation there is twice, once without, and once with appropriate locking.
