doc:kmsg: explicitly state the return value in case of SEEK_CUR

2020-07-13T13:07:45Z

The commit 625d3449788f ("Revert "kernel/printk: add kmsg SEEK_CUR handling"") reverted a change done to the return value in case a SEEK_CUR operation was performed for kmsg buffer based on the fact that different userspace apps were handling the new return value (-ESPIPE) in different ways, breaking them. At the same time -ESPIPE was the wrong decision because kmsg /does support/ seek() but doesn't follow the "normal" behavior userspace is used to. Because of that and also considering the time -EINVAL has been used, it was decided to keep this way to avoid more userspace breakage. This patch adds an official statement to the kmsg documentation pointing to the current return value for SEEK_CUR, -EINVAL, thus userspace libraries and apps can refer to it for a definitive guide on what to expect.

Revert "kernel/printk: add kmsg SEEK_CUR handling"

2020-06-22T03:47:20Z

This reverts commit 8ece3b3eb576a78d2e67ad4c3a80a39fa6708809. This commit broke userspace. Bash uses ESPIPE to determine whether or not the file should be read using "unbuffered I/O", which means reading 1 byte at a time instead of 128 bytes at a time. I used to use bash to read through kmsg in a really quite nasty way: while read -t 0.1 -r line 2>/dev/null || [[ $? -ne 142 ]]; do echo "SARU $line" done < /dev/kmsg This will show all lines that can fit into the 128 byte buffer, and skip lines that don't. That's pretty awful, but at least it worked. With this change, bash now tries to do 1-byte reads, which means it skips all the lines, which is worse than before. Now, I don't really care very much about this, and I'm already look for a workaround. But I did just spend an hour trying to figure out why my scripts were broken. Either way, it makes no difference to me personally whether this is reverted, but it might be something to consider. If you declare that "trying to read /dev/kmsg with bash is terminally stupid anyway," I might be inclined to agree with you. But do note that bash uses lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_CUR)==>ESPIPE to determine whether or not it's reading from a pipe.

Pull printk fix from Petr Mladek: "One more printk change for 5.8: make sure that messages printed from KDB context are redirected to KDB console handlers.

printk/kdb: Redirect printk messages into kdb in any context

2020-06-11T06:48:44Z

kdb has to get messages on consoles even when the system is stopped. It uses kdb_printf() internally and calls console drivers on its own. It uses a hack to reuse an existing code. It sets "kdb_trap_printk" global variable to redirect even the normal printk() into the kdb_printf() variant. The variable "kdb_trap_printk" is checked in printk_default() and it is ignored when printk is redirected to printk_safe in NMI context. Solve this by moving the check into printk_func(). It is obvious that it is not fully safe. But it does not make things worse. The console drivers are already called in this context by db_printf() direct calls.
