printk: Fix signed integer overflow when defining LOG_BUF_LEN_MAX

2025-03-13T11:47:01Z

[ Upstream commit 3d6f83df8ff2d5de84b50377e4f0d45e25311c7a ] Shifting 1 << 31 on a 32-bit int causes signed integer overflow, which leads to undefined behavior. To prevent this, cast 1 to u32 before performing the shift, ensuring well-defined behavior. This change explicitly avoids any potential overflow by ensuring that the shift occurs on an unsigned 32-bit integer.

serial: Lock console when calling into driver before registration

2024-04-13T10:58:20Z

[ Upstream commit 801410b26a0e8b8a16f7915b2b55c9528b69ca87 ] During the handoff from earlycon to the real console driver, we have two separate drivers operating on the same device concurrently. In the case of the 8250 driver these concurrent accesses cause problems due to the driver's use of banked registers, controlled by LCR.DLAB. It is possible for the setup(), config_port(), pm() and set_mctrl() callbacks to set DLAB, which can cause the earlycon code that intends to access TX to instead access DLL, leading to missed output and corruption on the serial line due to unintended modifications to the baud rate. In particular, for setup() we have: univ8250_console_setup() -> serial8250_console_setup() -> uart_set_options() -> serial8250_set_termios() -> serial8250_do_set_termios() -> serial8250_do_set_divisor() For config_port() we have: serial8250_config_port() -> autoconfig() For pm() we have: serial8250_pm() -> serial8250_do_pm() -> serial8250_set_sleep() For set_mctrl() we have (for some devices): serial8250_set_mctrl() -> omap8250_set_mctrl() -> __omap8250_set_mctrl() To avoid such problems, let's make it so that the console is locked during pre-registration calls to these callbacks, which will prevent the earlycon driver from running concurrently. Remove the partial solution to this problem in the 8250 driver that locked the console only during autoconfig_irq(), as this would result in a deadlock with the new approach. The console continues to be locked during autoconfig_irq() because it can only be called through uart_configure_port(). Although this patch introduces more locking than strictly necessary (and in particular it also locks during the call to rs485_config() which is not affected by this issue as far as I can tell), it follows the principle that it is the responsibility of the generic console code to manage the earlycon handoff by ensuring that earlycon and real console driver code cannot run concurrently, and not the individual drivers.

printk: ringbuffer: Fix truncating buffer size min_t cast

2023-09-19T10:20:21Z

commit 53e9e33ede37a247d926db5e4a9e56b55204e66c upstream. If an output buffer size exceeded U16_MAX, the min_t(u16, ...) cast in copy_data() was causing writes to truncate. This manifested as output bytes being skipped, seen as %NUL bytes in pstore dumps when the available record size was larger than 65536. Fix the cast to no longer truncate the calculation.

If a valid option value is used, it is honored but the wrong return value (0) is used, indicating that the command line option had an error and was not handled. This string is not added to init's environment strings due to init/main.c::unknown_bootoption() checking for a '.' in the boot option string and then considering that string to be an "Unused module parameter". Print a warning message if a bad option string is used. Always return 1 from the __setup handler to indicate that the command line option has been handled.

printk/console: Allow to disable console output by using console="" or console=null

2021-11-12T13:58:33Z

commit 3cffa06aeef7ece30f6b5ac0ea51f264e8fea4d0 upstream. The commit 48021f98130880dd74 ("printk: handle blank console arguments passed in.") prevented crash caused by empty console= parameter value. Unfortunately, this value is widely used on Chromebooks to disable the console output. The above commit caused performance regression because the messages were pushed on slow console even though nobody was watching it. Use ttynull driver explicitly for console="" and console=null parameters. It has been created for exactly this purpose. It causes that preferred_console is set. As a result, ttySX and ttyX are not used as a fallback. And only ttynull console gets registered by default. It still allows to register other consoles either by additional console= parameters or SPCR. It prevents regression because it worked this way even before. Also it is a sane semantic. Preventing output on all consoles should be done another way, for example, by introducing mute_console parameter.

printk: fix deadlock when kernel panic

2021-03-04T10:38:41Z

commit 8a8109f303e25a27f92c1d8edd67d7cbbc60a4eb upstream. printk_safe_flush_on_panic() caused the following deadlock on our server: CPU0: CPU1: panic rcu_dump_cpu_stacks kdump_nmi_shootdown_cpus nmi_trigger_cpumask_backtrace register_nmi_handler(crash_nmi_callback) printk_safe_flush __printk_safe_flush raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&read_lock) // send NMI to other processors apic_send_IPI_allbutself(NMI_VECTOR) // NMI interrupt, dead loop crash_nmi_callback printk_safe_flush_on_panic printk_safe_flush __printk_safe_flush // deadlock raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&read_lock) DEADLOCK: read_lock is taken on CPU1 and will never get released. It happens when panic() stops a CPU by NMI while it has been in the middle of printk_safe_flush(). Handle the lock the same way as logbuf_lock. The printk_safe buffers are flushed only when both locks can be safely taken. It can avoid the deadlock _in this particular case_ at expense of losing contents of printk_safe buffers. Note: It would actually be safe to re-init the locks when all CPUs were stopped by NMI. But it would require passing this information from arch-specific code. It is not worth the complexity. Especially because logbuf_lock and printk_safe buffers have been obsoleted by the lockless ring buffer.

printk: avoid prb_first_valid_seq() where possible

2021-03-04T10:38:07Z

[ Upstream commit 13791c80b0cdf54d92fc54221cdf490683b109de ] If message sizes average larger than expected (more than 32 characters), the data_ring will wrap before the desc_ring. Once the data_ring wraps, it will start invalidating descriptors. These invalid descriptors hang around until they are eventually recycled when the desc_ring wraps. Readers do not care about invalid descriptors, but they still need to iterate past them. If the average message size is much larger than 32 characters, then there will be many invalid descriptors preceding the valid descriptors. The function prb_first_valid_seq() always begins at the oldest descriptor and searches for the first valid descriptor. This can be rather expensive for the above scenario. And, in fact, because of its heavy usage in /dev/kmsg, there have been reports of long delays and even RCU stalls. For code that does not need to search from the oldest record, replace prb_first_valid_seq() usage with prb_read_valid_*() functions, which provide a start sequence number to search from.
