Pull runtime verification updates from Steven Rostedt: - Added Linear temporal logic monitors for RT application Real-time applications may have design flaws causing them to have unexpected latency. For example, the applications may raise page faults, or may be blocked trying to take a mutex without priority inheritance. However, while attempting to implement DA monitors for these real-time rules, deterministic automaton is found to be inappropriate as the specification language. The automaton is complicated, hard to understand, and error-prone. For these cases, linear temporal logic is found to be more suitable. The LTL is more concise and intuitive. - Make printk_deferred() public The new monitors needed access to printk_deferred(). Make them visible for the entire kernel. - Add a vpanic() to allow for va_list to be passed to panic. - Add rtapp container monitor. A collection of monitors that check for common problems with real-time applications that cause unexpected latency. - Add page fault tracepoints to risc-v These tracepoints are necessary to for the RV monitor to run on risc-v. - Fix the behaviour of the rv tool with -s and idle tasks. - Allow the rv tool to gracefully terminate with SIGTERM - Adjusts dot2c not to create lines over 100 columns - Properly order nested monitors in the RV Kconfig file - Return the registration error in all DA monitor instead of 0 - Update and add new sched collection monitors Replace tss and sncid monitors with more complete sts: Not only prove that switches occur in scheduling context and scheduling needs interrupt disabled but also that each call to the scheduler disables interrupts to (optionally) switch. New monitor: nrp Preemption requires need resched which is cleared by any switch (includes a non optimal workaround for /nested/ preemptions) New monitor: sssw suspension requires setting the task to sleepable and, after the switch occurs, the task requires a wakeup to come back to runnable New monitor: opid waking and need-resched operations occur with interrupts and preemption disabled or in IRQ without explicitly disabling preemption" * tag 'trace-rv-6.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (48 commits) rv: Add opid per-cpu monitor rv: Add nrp and sssw per-task monitors rv: Replace tss and sncid monitors with more complete sts sched: Adapt sched tracepoints for RV task model rv: Retry when da monitor detects race conditions rv: Adjust monitor dependencies rv: Use strings in da monitors tracepoints rv: Remove trailing whitespace from tracepoint string rv: Add da_handle_start_run_event_ to per-task monitors rv: Fix wrong type cast in reactors_show() and monitor_reactor_show() rv: Fix wrong type cast in monitors_show() rv: Remove struct rv_monitor::reacting rv: Remove rv_reactor's reference counter rv: Merge struct rv_reactor_def into struct rv_reactor rv: Merge struct rv_monitor_def into struct rv_monitor rv: Remove unused field in struct rv_monitor_def rv: Return init error when registering monitors verification/rvgen: Organise Kconfig entries for nested monitors tools/dot2c: Fix generated files going over 100 column limit tools/rv: Stop gracefully also on SIGTERM ...

panic: add note that panic_print sysctl interface is deprecated

2025-07-20T02:08:25Z

Add a dedicated core parameter 'panic_console_replay' for controlling console replay, and add note that 'panic_print' sysctl interface will be obsoleted by 'panic_sys_info' and 'panic_console_replay'. When it happens, the SYS_INFO_PANIC_CONSOLE_REPLAY can be removed as well.

panic: generalize panic_print's function to show sys info

2025-07-20T02:08:24Z

'panic_print' was introduced to help debugging kernel panic by dumping different kinds of system information like tasks' call stack, memory, ftrace buffer, etc. Actually this function could also be used to help debugging other cases like task-hung, soft/hard lockup, etc. where user may need the snapshot of system info at that time. Extract system info dump function related code from panic.c to separate file sys_info.[ch], for wider usage by other kernel parts for debugging. Also modify the macro names about singulars/plurals.

panic: clean up code for console replay

2025-07-20T02:08:24Z

Patch series "generalize panic_print's dump function to be used by other kernel parts", v3. When working on kernel stability issues, panic, task-hung and software/hardware lockup are frequently met. And to debug them, user may need lots of system information at that time, like task call stacks, lock info, memory info etc. panic case already has panic_print_sys_info() for this purpose, and has a 'panic_print' bitmask to control what kinds of information is needed, which is also helpful to debug other task-hung and lockup cases. So this patchset extracts the function out to a new file 'lib/sys_info.c', and makes it available for other cases which also need to dump system info for debugging. Also as suggested by Petr Mladek, add 'panic_sys_info=' interface to take human readable string like "tasks,mem,locks,timers,ftrace,....", and eventually obsolete the current 'panic_print' bitmap interface. In RFC and V1 version, hung_task and SW/HW watchdog modules are enabled with the new sys_info dump interface. In v2, they are kept out for better review of current change, and will be posted later. Locally these have been used in our bug chasing for stability issues and was proven helpful. Many thanks to Petr Mladek for great suggestions on both the code and architectures! This patch (of 5): Currently the panic_print_sys_info() was called twice with different parameters to handle console replay case, which is kind of confusing. Add panic_console_replay() explicitly and rename 'PANIC_PRINT_ALL_PRINTK_MSG' to 'PANIC_CONSOLE_REPLAY', to make the code straightforward. The related kernel document is also updated.
