* kthreads: kill CLONE_KERNEL, change kernel_thread(kernel_init) to avoid ↵Oleg Nesterov2014-06-052-7/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CLONE_SIGHAND 1. Remove CLONE_KERNEL, it has no users and it is dangerous. The (old) comment says "List of flags we want to share for kernel threads" but this is not true, we do not want to share ->sighand by default. This flag can only be used if the caller is sure that both parent/child will never play with signals (say, allow_signal/etc). 2. Change rest_init() to clone kernel_init() without CLONE_SIGHAND. In this case CLONE_SIGHAND does not really hurt, and it looks like optimization because copy_sighand() can avoid kmem_cache_alloc(). But in fact this only adds the minor pessimization. kernel_init() is going to exec the init process, and de_thread() will need to unshare ->sighand and do kmem_cache_alloc(sighand_cachep) anyway, but it needs to do more work and take tasklist_lock and siglock.

* init/main.c: add initcall_blacklist kernel parameterPrarit Bhargava2014-06-052-0/+72
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a module is built into the kernel the module_init() function becomes an initcall. Sometimes debugging through dynamic debug can help, however, debugging built in kernel modules is typically done by changing the .config, recompiling, and booting the new kernel in an effort to determine exactly which module caused a problem. This patchset can be useful stand-alone or combined with initcall_debug. There are cases where some initcalls can hang the machine before the console can be flushed, which can make initcall_debug output inaccurate. Having the ability to skip initcalls can help further debugging of these scenarios. Usage: initcall_blacklist=<list of comma separated initcalls> ex) added "initcall_blacklist=sgi_uv_sysfs_init" as a kernel parameter and the log contains: blacklisting initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init ... ... initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init blacklisted ex) added "initcall_blacklist=foo_bar,sgi_uv_sysfs_init" as a kernel parameter and the log contains: blacklisting initcall foo_bar blacklisting initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init ... ... initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init blacklisted [akpm@linux-foundation.org: tweak printk text] Signed-off-by: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com> Cc: Richard Weinberger <richard.weinberger@gmail.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: Josh Boyer <jwboyer@fedoraproject.org> Cc: Rob Landley <rob@landley.net> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* init/main.c: don't use pr_debug()Andrew Morton2014-06-051-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pertially revert commit ea676e846a81 ("init/main.c: convert to pr_foo()"). Unbeknownst to me, pr_debug() is different from the other pr_foo() levels: pr_debug() is a no-op when DEBUG is not defined. Happily, init/main.c does have a #define DEBUG so we didn't break initcall_debug. But the functioning of initcall_debug should not be dependent upon the presence of that #define DEBUG.

* timekeeping: use printk_deferred when holding timekeeping seqlockJohn Stultz2014-06-052-9/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Jiri Bohac pointed out that there are rare but potential deadlock possibilities when calling printk while holding the timekeeping seqlock. This is due to printk() triggering console sem wakeup, which can cause scheduling code to trigger hrtimers which may try to read the time. Specifically, as Jiri pointed out, that path is: printk vprintk_emit console_unlock up(&console_sem) __up wake_up_process try_to_wake_up ttwu_do_activate ttwu_activate activate_task enqueue_task enqueue_task_fair hrtick_update hrtick_start_fair hrtick_start_fair get_time ktime_get --> endless loop on read_seqcount_retry(&timekeeper_seq, ...)

* printk: remove separate printk_sched buffers and use printk buf insteadSteven Rostedt2014-06-051-18/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To prevent deadlocks with doing a printk inside the scheduler, printk_sched() was created. The issue is that printk has a console_sem that it can grab and release. The release does a wake up if there's a task pending on the sem, and this wake up grabs the rq locks that is held in the scheduler. This leads to a possible deadlock if the wake up uses the same rq as the one with the rq lock held already. What printk_sched() does is to save the printk write in a per cpu buffer and sets the PRINTK_PENDING_SCHED flag. On a timer tick, if this flag is set, the printk() is done against the buffer. There's a couple of issues with this approach. 1) If two printk_sched()s are called before the tick, the second one will overwrite the first one. 2) The temporary buffer is 512 bytes and is per cpu. This is a quite a bit of space wasted for something that is seldom used. In order to remove this, the printk_sched() can use the printk buffer instead, and delay the console_trylock()/console_unlock() to the queued work. Because printk_sched() would then be taking the logbuf_lock, the logbuf_lock must not be held while doing anything that may call into the scheduler functions, which includes wake ups. Unfortunately, printk() also has a console_sem that it uses, and on release, the up(&console_sem) may do a wake up of any pending waiters. This must be avoided while holding the logbuf_lock.

* printk: enable interrupts before calling console_trylock_for_printk()Jan Kara2014-06-051-11/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We need interrupts disabled when calling console_trylock_for_printk() only so that cpu id we pass to can_use_console() remains valid (for other things console_sem provides all the exclusion we need and deadlocks on console_sem due to interrupts are impossible because we use down_trylock()). However if we are rescheduled, we are guaranteed to run on an online cpu so we can easily just get the cpu id in can_use_console(). We can lose a bit of performance when we enable interrupts in vprintk_emit() and then disable them again in console_unlock() but OTOH it can somewhat reduce interrupt latency caused by console_unlock() especially since later in the patch series we will want to spin on console_sem in console_trylock_for_printk().

* printk: fix lockdep instrumentation of console_semJan Kara2014-06-051-14/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Printk calls mutex_acquire() / mutex_release() by hand to instrument lockdep about console_sem. However in some corner cases the instrumentation is missing. Fix the problem by creating helper functions for locking / unlocking console_sem which take care of lockdep instrumentation as well.

* printk: release lockbuf_lock before calling console_trylock_for_printk()Jan Kara2014-06-051-33/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's no reason to hold lockbuf_lock when entering console_trylock_for_printk(). The first thing this function does is to call down_trylock(console_sem) and if that fails it immediately unlocks lockbuf_lock. So lockbuf_lock isn't needed for that branch. When down_trylock() succeeds, the rest of console_trylock() is OK without lockbuf_lock (it is called without it from other places), and the only remaining thing in console_trylock_for_printk() is can_use_console() call. For that call console_sem is enough (it iterates all consoles and checks CON_ANYTIME flag). So we drop logbuf_lock before entering console_trylock_for_printk() which simplifies the code.

* printk: remove outdated commentJan Kara2014-06-051-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Comment about interesting interlocking between lockbuf_lock and console_sem is outdated. It was added in 2002 by commit a880f45a48be during conversion of console_lock to console_sem + lockbuf_lock. At that time release_console_sem() (today's equivalent is console_unlock()) was indeed using lockbuf_lock to avoid races between trylock on console_sem in printk() and unlock of console_sem. However these days the interlocking is gone and the races are avoided by rechecking logbuf state after releasing console_sem.

* printk: return really stored message lengthPetr Mladek2014-06-051-15/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I wonder if anyone uses printk return value but it is there and should be counted correctly. This patch modifies log_store() to return the number of really stored bytes from the 'text' part. Also it handles the return value in vprintk_emit(). Note that log_store() is used also in cont_flush() but we could ignore the return value there. The function works with characters that were already counted earlier. In addition, the store could newer fail here because the length of the printed text is limited by the "cont" buffer and "dict" is NULL.

* printk: shrink too long messagesPetr Mladek2014-06-051-3/+39
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We might want to print at least part of too long messages and add some warning for debugging purpose. The question is how long the shrunken message should be. If we use the whole buffer, it might get rotated too soon. Let's try to use only 1/4 of the buffer for now. Also shrink the whole dictionary. We do not want to parse it or break it in the middle of some pair of values. It would not cause any real harm but still.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We will want to recompute the message size when shrinking too long messages. Let's put the code into separate function. The side effect of setting "pad_len" is not nice but it is worth removing the code duplication. Note that I will probably have one more usage for this function when handling messages safe way in NMI context. This patch does not change the existing behavior.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There was no check for too long messages. The check for free space always passed when first_seq and next_seq were equal. Enough free space was not guaranteed, though. log_store() might be called to store messages up to 64kB + 64kB + 16B. This is sum of maximal text_len, dict_len values, and the size of the structure printk_log. On the other hand, the minimal size for the main log buffer currently is 4kB and it is enforced only by Kconfig. The good news is that the usage looks safe right now. log_store() is called only from vprintk_emit() and cont_flush(). Here the "text" part is always passed via a static buffer and the length is limited to LOG_LINE_MAX which is 1024. The "dict" part is NULL in most cases. The only exceptions is when vprintk_emit() is called from printk_emit() and dev_vprintk_emit(). But printk_emit() is currently used only in devkmsg_writev() and here "dict" is NULL as well. In dev_vprintk_emit(), "dict" is limited by the static buffer "hdr" of the size 128 bytes. It meas that the current maximal printed text is 1024B + 128B + 16B and it always fit the log buffer. But it is only matter of time when someone calls printk_emit() with unsafe parameters, especially the "dict" one. This patch adds a check for the free space when the buffer is empty. It reuses the already existing log_has_space() function but it has to add an extra parameter. It defines whether the buffer is empty. Note that the same values of "first_idx" and "next_idx" might also mean that the buffer is full. If the buffer is empty, we must respect the current position of the indexes. We cannot reset them to the beginning of the buffer. Otherwise, the functions reading the buffer would get crazy. The question is what to do when the message is too long. This patch uses the easiest solution and just ignores the problematic message. Let's do something better in a followup patch.
