* pstore/ram: Make tracing log versionedAnton Vorontsov2012-07-182-10/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Decoding the binary trace w/ a different kernel might be troublesome since we convert addresses to symbols. For kernels with minimal changes, the mappings would probably match, but it's not guaranteed at all. (But still we could convert the addresses by hand, since we do print raw addresses.) If we use modules, the symbols could be loaded at different addresses from the previously booted kernel, and so this would also fail, but there's nothing we can do about it. Also, the binary data format that pstore/ram is using in its ringbuffer may change between the kernels, so here we too must ensure that we're running the same kernel. So, there are two questions really: 1. How to compute the unique kernel tag; 2. Where to store it. In this patch we're using LINUX_VERSION_CODE, just as hibernation (suspend-to-disk) does. This way we are protecting from the kernel version mismatch, making sure that we're running the same kernel version and patch level. We could use CRC of a symbol table (as suggested by Tony Luck), but for now let's not be that strict. And as for storing, we are using a small trick here. Instead of allocating a dedicated buffer for the tag (i.e. another prz), or hacking ram_core routines to "reserve" some control data in the buffer, we are just encoding the tag into the buffer signature (and XOR'ing it with the actual signature value, so that buffers not needing a tag can just pass zero, which will result into the plain old PRZ signature).

* pstore: Headers should include all stuff they useAnton Vorontsov2012-07-171-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Headers should really include all the needed prototypes, types, defines etc. to be self-contained. This is a long-standing issue, but apparently the new tracing code unearthed it (SMP=n is also a prerequisite): In file included from fs/pstore/internal.h:4:0, from fs/pstore/ftrace.c:21: include/linux/pstore.h:43:15: error: field ‘read_mutex’ has incomplete type While at it, I also added the following: linux/types.h -> size_t, phys_addr_t, uXX and friends linux/spinlock.h -> spinlock_t linux/errno.h -> Exxxx linux/time.h -> struct timespec (struct passed by value) struct module and rs_control forward declaration (passed via pointers).

* pstore: Add persistent function tracingAnton Vorontsov2012-07-176-5/+199
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With this support kernel can save function call chain log into a persistent ram buffer that can be decoded and dumped after reboot through pstore filesystem. It can be used to determine what function was last called before a reset or panic. We store the log in a binary format and then decode it at read time. p.s. Mostly the code comes from trace_persistent.c driver found in the Android git tree, written by Colin Cross <ccross@android.com> (according to sign-off history). I reworked the driver a little bit, and ported it to pstore. Signed-off-by: Anton Vorontsov <anton.vorontsov@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
* pstore: Introduce write_buf backend callbackAnton Vorontsov2012-07-171-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | For function tracing we need to stop using pstore.buf directly, since in a tracing callback we can't use spinlocks, and thus we can't safely use the global buffer. With write_buf callback, backends no longer need to access pstore.buf directly, and thus we can pass any buffers (e.g. allocated on stack).

This requires changing module_init to postcore_initcall, and switching from platform_driver_probe to platform_driver_register because the platform device is not registered when the platform driver is registered; and because we use driver_register, now can't use create_bundle() (since it will try to register the same driver once again), so we have to switch to platform_device_register_data(). Also, some __init -> __devinit changes were needed. Overall, the registration logic is now much clearer, since we have only one driver registration point, and just an optional dummy device, which is created from the module parameters.

* | | pstore/platform: Disable automatic updates by defaultAnton Vorontsov2012-06-141-2/+4

If we can mount pstore, or read files, we can as well read /proc/kmsg. So, there's little point in duplicating the functionality and present the same information but via another userland ABI; 2. Expecting the kernel to behave sanely after oops/panic is naive. It might work, but you'd rather not try it. Screwed up kernel can do rather bad things, like recursive faults[1]; and pstore rather provoking bad things to happen. It uses: 1. Timers (assumes sane interrupts state); 2. Workqueues and mutexes (assumes scheduler in a sane state); 3. kzalloc (a working slab allocator); That's too much for a dead kernel, so the debugging facility itself might just make debugging harder, which is not what we want. Maybe for non-oops message types it would make sense to re-enable automatic updates, but so far I don't see any use case for this. Even for tracing, it has its own run-time/normal ABI, so we're only interested in pstore upon next boot, to retrieve what has gone wrong with HW or SW. So, let's disable the updates by default.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The buf_lock cannot be held while populating the inodes, so make the backend pass forward an allocated and filled buffer instead. This solves the following backtrace. The effect is that "buf" is only ever used to notify the backends that something was written to it, and shouldn't be used in the read path. To replace the buf_lock during the read path, isolate the open/read/close loop with a separate mutex to maintain serialized access to the backend. Note that is is up to the pstore backend to cope if the (*write)() path is called in the middle of the read path.

* pstore: change mutex locking to spin_locksDon Zickus2011-08-161-7/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pstore was using mutex locking to protect read/write access to the backend plug-ins. This causes problems when pstore is executed in an NMI context through panic() -> kmsg_dump(). This patch changes the mutex to a spin_lock_irqsave then also checks to see if we are in an NMI context. If we are in an NMI and can't get the lock, just print a message stating that and blow by the locking. All this is probably a hack around the bigger locking problem but it solves my current situation of trying to sleep in an NMI context. Tested by loading the lkdtm module and executing a HARDLOCKUP which will cause the machine to panic inside the nmi handler.

* pstore: defer inserting OOPS entries into pstoreLuck, Tony2011-08-163-14/+82
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Life is simple for all the kernel terminating types of kmsg_dump call backs - pstore just saves the tail end of the console log. But for "oops" the situation is more complex - the kernel may carry on running (possibly for ever). So we'd like to make the logged copy of the oops appear in the pstore filesystem - so that the user has a handle to clear the entry from the persistent backing store (if we don't, the store may fill with "oops" entries (that are also safely stashed in /var/log/messages) leaving no space for real errors. Current code calls pstore_mkfile() immediately. But this may not be safe. The oops could have happened with arbitrary locks held, or in interrupt or NMI context. So allocating memory and calling into generic filesystem code seems unwise. This patch defers making the entry appear. At the time of the oops, we merely set a flag "pstore_new_entry" noting that a new entry has been added. A periodic timer checks once a minute to see if the flag is set - if so, it schedules a work queue to rescan the backing store and make all new entries appear in the pstore filesystem.
