* printk: add printk_delay to make messages readable for some scenariosDave Young2009-09-231-0/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When syslog is not possible, at the same time there's no serial/net console available, it will be hard to read the printk messages. For example oops/panic/warning messages in shutdown phase. Add a printk delay feature, we can make each printk message delay some milliseconds. Setting the delay by proc/sysctl interface: /proc/sys/kernel/printk_delay The value range from 0 - 10000, default value is 0 [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix a few things] Signed-off-by: Dave Young <hidave.darkstar@gmail.com> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* printk: Restore previous console_loglevel when re-enabling loggingFrans Pop2009-07-101-1/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When logging to console is disabled from userspace using klogctl() and later re-enabled, console_loglevel gets set to the default log level instead to the previous value. This means that if the kernel was booted with 'quiet', the boot is suddenly no longer quiet after logging to console gets re-enabled. Save the current console_loglevel when logging is disabled and restore to that value. If the log level is set to a specific value while disabled, this is interpreted as an implicit re-enabling of the logging. The problem that prompted this patch is described in: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/28/234 There are two variations possible on the patch below: 1) If klogctl(7) is called while logging is not disabled, then set level to default (partially preserving current functionality): case 7: /* Enable logging to console */ - console_loglevel = default_console_loglevel; + if (saved_console_loglevel == -1) + console_loglevel = default_console_loglevel; + else { + console_loglevel = saved_console_loglevel; + saved_console_loglevel = -1; + } 2) If klogctl(8) is called while logging is disabled, then don't enable logging, but remember the requested value for when logging does get enabled again: case 8: /* Set level of messages printed to console */ [...] - console_loglevel = len; + if (saved_console_loglevel == -1) + console_loglevel = len; + else + saved_console_loglevel = len; Yet another option would be to ignore the request.

* printk: Ensure that "console enabled" messages are printed on the consoleRobin Getz2009-07-101-15/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Today, when a console is registered without CON_PRINTBUFFER, end users never see the announcement of it being added, and never know if they missed something, if the console is really at the start or not, and just leads to general confusion. This re-orders existing code, to make sure the console is added, before the "console [%s%d] enabled" is printed out - ensuring that this message is _always_ seen. This has the desired/intended side effect of making sure that "console enabled:" messages are printed on the bootconsole, and the real console. This does cause the same line is printed twice if the bootconsole and real console are the same device, but if they are on different devices, the message is printed to both consoles.

* printk: Enable the use of more than one CON_BOOT (early console)Robin Getz2009-07-031-54/+92
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Today, register_console() assumes the following usage: - The first console to register with a flag set to CON_BOOT is the one and only bootconsole. - If another register_console() is called with an additional CON_BOOT, it is silently rejected. - As soon as a console without the CON_BOOT set calls registers the bootconsole is automatically unregistered. - Once there is a "real" console - register_console() will silently reject any consoles with it's CON_BOOT flag set. In many systems (alpha, blackfin, microblaze, mips, powerpc, sh, & x86), there are early_printk implementations, which use the CON_BOOT which come out serial ports, vga, usb, & memory buffers. In many embedded systems, it would be nice to have two bootconsoles - in case the primary fails, you always have access to a backup memory buffer - but this requires at least two CON_BOOT consoles... This patch enables that functionality. With the change applied, on boot you get (if you try to re-enable a boot console after the "real" console has been registered): root:/> dmesg | grep console bootconsole [early_shadow0] enabled bootconsole [early_BFuart0] enabled Kernel command line: root=/dev/mtdblock0 rw earlyprintk=serial,uart0,57600 console=ttyBF0,57600 nmi_debug=regs console handover:boot [early_BFuart0] boot [early_shadow0] -> real [ttyBF0] Too late to register bootconsole early_shadow0 or: root:/> dmesg | grep console Kernel command line: root=/dev/mtdblock0 rw console=ttyBF0,57600 console [ttyBF0] enabled Signed-off-by: Robin Getz <rgetz@blackfin.uclinux.org> Cc: "Linus Torvalds" <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: "Andrew Morton" <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: "Mike Frysinger" <vapier.adi@gmail.com> Cc: "Paul Mundt" <lethal@linux-sh.org> LKML-Reference: <200907012108.38030.rgetz@blackfin.uclinux.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
* printk: Add KERN_DEFAULT printk log-levelLinus Torvalds2009-06-161-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a KERN_DEFAULT loglevel marker, for when you cannot decide which loglevel you want, and just want to keep an existing printk with the default loglevel. The difference between having KERN_DEFAULT and having no log-level marker at all is two-fold: - having the log-level marker will now force a new-line if the previous printout had not added one (perhaps because it forgot, but perhaps because it expected a continuation) - having a log-level marker is required if you are printing out a message that otherwise itself could perhaps otherwise be mistaken for a log-level.

* printk: clean up handling of log-levels and newlinesLinus Torvalds2009-06-161-9/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It used to be that we would only look at the log-level in a printk() after explicit newlines, which can cause annoying problems when the previous printk() did not end with a '\n'. In that case, the log-level marker would be just printed out in the middle of the line, and be seen as just noise rather than change the logging level. This changes things to always look at the log-level in the first bytes of the printout. If a log level marker is found, it is always used as the log-level. Additionally, if no newline existed, one is added (unless the log-level is the explicit KERN_CONT marker, to explicitly show that it's a continuation of a previous line).

| * printk: correct the behavior of printk_timed_ratelimit()Guillaume Knispel2009-03-171-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: fix jiffies-comparison sign-wrap behavior The behavior provided by printk_timed_ratelimit() is, in some situations, probably not what a caller would reasonably expect: bool printk_timed_ratelimit(unsigned long *caller_jiffies, unsigned int interval_msecs) { if (*caller_jiffies == 0 || time_after(jiffies, *caller_jiffies)) { *caller_jiffies = jiffies + msecs_to_jiffies(interval_msecs); return true; } return false; } On a 32 bit computer, if printk_timed_ratelimit() is initially called at time jiffies == Ja, *caller_jiffies is set to Ja + msecs_to_jiffies(interval_msecs): let's say Ja + 42 for this example. If this caller then doesn't call printk_timed_ratelimit() until jiffies == Ja + (1 << 31) + 42 (which can happen as soon as ~ 25 days later on a 1000 HZ system), printk_timed_ratelimit() will then always return false to this caller until jiffies loops completely (1 << 31 more ticks). Ths change makes it only return false if jiffies is in the small time window starting at the previous call when true was returned and ending interval_msecs later. Note that if jiffies loops completely between two calls to printk_timed_ratelimit(), it will obviously still wrongly return false, but this is something with a low probability. If something completely reliable is needed I guess jiffies_64 must be used (which this change does not do).

* PM: Fix suspend_console and resume_console to use only one semaphoreArve Hjønnevåg2009-02-211-6/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a race where a thread acquires the console while the console is suspended, and the console is resumed before this thread releases it. In this case, the secondary console semaphore would be left locked, and the primary semaphore would be released twice. This in turn would cause the console switch on suspend or resume to hang forever. Note that suspend_console does not actually lock the console for clients that use acquire_console_sem, it only locks it for clients that use try_acquire_console_sem. If we change suspend_console to fully lock the console, then the kernel may deadlock on suspend. One client of try_acquire_console_sem is acquire_console_semaphore_for_printk, which uses it to prevent printk from using the console while it is suspended.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | console election: If some console happens to be registered first which does not provide a tty binding (!console->device), it prevents that more suited consoles which are registered later on can enter the candidate pool for console_device(). This is observable with KGDB's console which may already be registered (and exploited!) during early debugger connections, that is before any regular console registration. This patch fixes the issue by postponing the final, automated preferred_console selection until someone with a non-NULL device handler comes around.

* | xen: Enable console tty by default in domU if it's not a dummyMarkus Armbruster2008-05-271-0/+3
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Without console= arguments on the kernel command line, the first console to register becomes enabled and the preferred console (the one behind /dev/console). This is normally tty (assuming CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is enabled, which it commonly is). This is okay as long tty is a useful console. But unless we have the PV framebuffer, and it is enabled for this domain, tty0 in domU is merely a dummy. In that case, we want the preferred console to be the Xen console hvc0, and we want it without having to fiddle with the kernel command line. Commit b8c2d3dfbc117dff26058fbac316b8acfc2cb5f7 did that for us. Since we now have the PV framebuffer, we want to enable and prefer tty again, but only when PVFB is enabled. But even then we still want to enable the Xen console as well. Problem: when tty registers, we can't yet know whether the PVFB is enabled. By the time we can know (xenstore is up), the console setup game is over. Solution: enable console tty by default, but keep hvc as the preferred console. Change the preferred console to tty when PVFB probes successfully, unless we've been given console kernel parameters.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When I cleaned up printk() and split up the printk locking logic in commit 266c2e0abeca649fa6667a1a427ad1da507c6375 ("Make printk() console semaphore accesses sensible") I had incorrectly moved the call to have_callable_console() outside of the console semaphore. That was buggy. The console semaphore protects the console_drivers list that is used by have_callable_console().
