printk: rename printk_sched to printk_deferred

2014-08-19T12:23:37Z

commit aac74dc495456412c4130a1167ce4beb6c1f0b38 upstream. After learning we'll need some sort of deferred printk functionality in the timekeeping core, Peter suggested we rename the printk_sched function so it can be reused by needed subsystems. This only changes the function name. No logic changes.

printk: fix syslog() overflowing user buffer

2014-03-31T12:22:29Z

commit e4178d809fdaee32a56833fff1f5056c99e90a1a upstream. This is not a buffer overflow in the traditional sense: we don't overflow any *kernel* buffers, but we do mis-count the amount of data we copy back to user space for the SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL case. In particular, if the user buffer is too small to hold everything, and *if* there is a continuation line at just the right place, we can end up giving the user more data than he asked for. The reason is that we first count up the number of bytes all the log records contains, then we walk the records again until we've skipped the records at the beginning that won't fit, and then we walk the rest of the records and copy them to the user space buffer. And in between that "skip the initial records that won't fit" and the "copy the records that *will* fit to user space", we reset the 'prev' variable that contained the record information for the last record not copied. That meant that when we started copying to user space, we now had a different character count than what we had originally calculated in the first record walk-through. The fix is to simply not clear the 'prev' flags value (in both cases where we had the same logic: syslog_print_all and kmsg_dump_get_buffer: the latter is used for pstore-like dumping) Reported-and-tested-by: Debabrata Banerjee Acked-by: Kay Sievers Cc: Jeff Mahoney Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Cc: Josh Hunt Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby

printk: Fix return of braille_register_console()

2013-08-06T20:18:12Z

Some of my configs I test with have CONFIG_A11Y_BRAILLE_CONSOLE set. When I started testing against v3.11-rc4 my console went bonkers. Using ktest to bisect the issue, it came down to: commit bbeddf52a "printk: move braille console support into separate braille.[ch] files" Looking into the patch I found the problem. It's with the return of braille_register_console(). As anything other than NULL is considered a failure. But for those of us that have CONFIG_A11Y_BRAILLE_CONSOLE set but do not define a "brl" or "brl=" on the command line, we still may want a console that those with sight can still use. Return NULL (success) if "brl" or "brl=" is not on the console line. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt Acked-by: Joe Perches Cc: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

register_console: prevent adding the same console twice

2013-08-05T07:06:46Z

This patch guards the console_drivers list to be corrupted. The for_each_console() macro insist on a strictly forward list ended by NULL: con0->next->con1->next->NULL Without this patch it may happen easily to destroy this list for example by adding 'earlyprintk' twice, especially on embedded devices where the early console is often a single static instance. This will result in the following list: con0->next->con0 This in turn will result in an endless loop in console_unlock() later on by printing the first __log_buf line endlessly.
