Pull printk fixes from Petr Mladek:
- Try to flush backtraces from other CPUs also on the local one. This
was a regression caused by printk_safe buffers removal.
- Remove header dependency warning.
* tag 'printk-for-5.16-fixup' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux:
printk: Remove printk.h inclusion in percpu.h
printk: restore flushing of NMI buffers on remote CPUs after NMI backtraces
|
|
|
|
printk from NMI context relies on irq work being raised on the local CPU
to print to console. This can be a problem if the NMI was raised by a
lockup detector to print lockup stack and regs, because the CPU may not
enable irqs (because it is locked up).
Introduce printk_trigger_flush() that can be called another CPU to try
to get those messages to the console, call that where printk_safe_flush
was previously called.

clang notices that the pi_get_entry() function would use
uninitialized data if it was called with a non-NULL module
pointer on a kernel that does not support modules:
kernel/printk/index.c:32:6: error: variable 'nr_entries' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
if (!mod) {
^~~~
kernel/printk/index.c:38:13: note: uninitialized use occurs here
if (pos >= nr_entries)
^~~~~~~~~~
kernel/printk/index.c:32:2: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always true
if (!mod) {
Rework the condition to make it clear to the compiler that we are always
in the second case. Unfortunately the #ifdef is still required as the
definition of 'struct module' is hidden when modules are disabled.

The boot-time allocation interface for memblock is a mess, with
'memblock_alloc()' returning a virtual pointer, but then you are
supposed to free it with 'memblock_free()' that takes a _physical_
address.
Not only is that all kinds of strange and illogical, but it actually
causes bugs, when people then use it like a normal allocation function,
and it fails spectacularly on a NULL pointer:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20210912140820.GD25450@xsang-OptiPlex-9020/
or just random memory corruption if the debug checks don't catch it:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/61ab2d0c-3313-aaab-514c-e15b7aa054a0@suse.cz/
I really don't want to apply patches that treat the symptoms, when the
fundamental cause is this horribly confusing interface.
I started out looking at just automating a sane replacement sequence,
but because of this mix or virtual and physical addresses, and because
people have used the "__pa()" macro that can take either a regular
kernel pointer, or just the raw "unsigned long" address, it's all quite
messy.
So this just introduces a new saner interface for freeing a virtual
address that was allocated using 'memblock_alloc()', and that was kept
as a regular kernel pointer. And then it converts a couple of users
that are obvious and easy to test, including the 'xbc_nodes' case in
lib/bootconfig.c that caused problems.

Size of struct devkmsg_user increased to 16784 by commit 896fbe20b4e2
("printk: use the lockless ringbuffer") so order3(32kb) is needed for
kmalloc. Under stress conditions the kernel may temporary fail to
allocate 32k with kmalloc. Use kvmalloc instead of kmalloc to aviod
this issue.

console_verbose() increases console loglevel to
CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_MOTORMOUTH, which provides more information
to debug a panic/oops.
Unfortunately, in Arista we maintain some DUTs (Device Under Test) that
are configured to have 9600 baud rate. While verbose console messages
have their value to post-analyze crashes, on such setup they:
- may prevent panic/oops messages being printed
- take too long to flush on console resulting in watchdog reboot
In all our setups we use kdump which saves dmesg buffer after panic,
so in reality those extra messages on console provide no additional value,
but rather add risk of not getting to __crash_kexec().
Provide printk.console_no_auto_verbose boot parameter, which allows
to switch off printk being verbose on oops/panic/lockdep.

Syslog's SYSLOG_ACTION_READ is supposed to block until the next
syslog record can be read, and then it should read that record.
However, because @syslog_lock is not held between waking up and
reading the record, another reader could read the record first,
thus causing SYSLOG_ACTION_READ to return with a value of 0, never
having read _anything_.
By holding @syslog_lock between waking up and reading, it can be
guaranteed that SYSLOG_ACTION_READ blocks until it successfully
reads a syslog record (or a real error occurs).

@syslog_lock was a raw_spin_lock to simplify the transition of
removing @logbuf_lock and the safe buffers. With that transition
complete, and since all uses of @syslog_lock are within sleepable
contexts, @syslog_lock can become a mutex.
Note that until now register_console() would disable interrupts
using irqsave, which implies that it may be called with interrupts
disabled. And indeed, there is one possible call chain on parisc
where this happens:
handle_interruption(code=1) /* High-priority machine check (HPMC) */
pdc_console_restart()
pdc_console_init_force()
register_console()
However, register_console() calls console_lock(), which might sleep.
So it has never been allowed to call register_console() from an
atomic context and the above call chain is a bug.
Note that the removal of read_syslog_seq_irq() is slightly changing
the behavior of SYSLOG_ACTION_READ by testing against a possibly
outdated @seq value. However, the value of @seq could have changed
after the test, so it is not a new window. A follow-up commit closes
this window.

All NMI contexts are handled the same as the safe context: store the
message and defer printing. There is no need to have special NMI
context tracking for this. Using in_nmi() is enough.
There are several parts of the kernel that are manually calling into
the printk NMI context tracking in order to cause general printk
deferred printing:
arch/arm/kernel/smp.c
arch/powerpc/kexec/crash.c
kernel/trace/trace.c
For arm/kernel/smp.c and powerpc/kexec/crash.c, provide a new
function pair printk_deferred_enter/exit that explicitly achieves the
same objective.
For ftrace, remove the printk context manipulation completely. It was
added in commit 03fc7f9c99c1 ("printk/nmi: Prevent deadlock when
accessing the main log buffer in NMI"). The purpose was to enforce
storing messages directly into the ring buffer even in NMI context.
It really should have only modified the behavior in NMI context.
There is no need for a special behavior any longer. All messages are
always stored directly now. The console deferring is handled
transparently in vprintk().

With @logbuf_lock removed, the high level printk functions for
storing messages are lockless. Messages can be stored from any
context, so there is no need for the NMI and safe buffers anymore.
Remove the NMI and safe buffers.
Although the safe buffers are removed, the NMI and safe context
tracking is still in place. In these contexts, store the message
immediately but still use irq_work to defer the console printing.
Since printk recursion tracking is in place, safe context tracking
for most of printk is not needed. Remove it. Only safe context
tracking relating to the console and console_owner locks is left
in place. This is because the console and console_owner locks are
needed for the actual printing.

In preparation for removal of the safe buffers, provide an alternate

We have a number of systems industry-wide that have a subset of their
functionality that works as follows:
1. Receive a message from local kmsg, serial console, or netconsole;
2. Apply a set of rules to classify the message;
3. Do something based on this classification (like scheduling a
remediation for the machine), rinse, and repeat.
As a couple of examples of places we have this implemented just inside
Facebook, although this isn't a Facebook-specific problem, we have this
inside our netconsole processing (for alarm classification), and as part
of our machine health checking. We use these messages to determine
fairly important metrics around production health, and it's important
that we get them right.
While for some kinds of issues we have counters, tracepoints, or metrics
with a stable interface which can reliably indicate the issue, in order
to react to production issues quickly we need to work with the interface
which most kernel developers naturally use when developing: printk.
Most production issues come from unexpected phenomena, and as such
usually the code in question doesn't have easily usable tracepoints or
other counters available for the specific problem being mitigated. We
have a number of lines of monitoring defence against problems in
production (host metrics, process metrics, service metrics, etc), and
where it's not feasible to reliably monitor at another level, this kind
of pragmatic netconsole monitoring is essential.
As one would expect, monitoring using printk is rather brittle for a
number of reasons -- most notably that the message might disappear
entirely in a new version of the kernel, or that the message may change
in some way that the regex or other classification methods start to
silently fail.
One factor that makes this even harder is that, under normal operation,
many of these messages are never expected to be hit. For example, there
may be a rare hardware bug which one wants to detect if it was to ever
happen again, but its recurrence is not likely or anticipated. This
precludes using something like checking whether the printk in question
was printed somewhere fleetwide recently to determine whether the
message in question is still present or not, since we don't anticipate
that it should be printed anywhere, but still need to monitor for its
future presence in the long-term.
This class of issue has happened on a number of occasions, causing
unhealthy machines with hardware issues to remain in production for
longer than ideal. As a recent example, some monitoring around
blk_update_request fell out of date and caused semi-broken machines to
remain in production for longer than would be desirable.
Searching through the codebase to find the message is also extremely
fragile, because many of the messages are further constructed beyond
their callsite (eg. btrfs_printk and other module-specific wrappers,
each with their own functionality). Even if they aren't, guessing the
format and formulation of the underlying message based on the aesthetics
of the message emitted is not a recipe for success at scale, and our
previous issues with fleetwide machine health checking demonstrate as
much.
This provides a solution to the issue of silently changed or deleted
printks: we record pointers to all printk format strings known at
compile time into a new .printk_index section, both in vmlinux and
modules. At runtime, this can then be iterated by looking at
<debugfs>/printk/index/<module>, which emits the following format, both
readable by humans and able to be parsed by machines:
$ head -1 vmlinux; shuf -n 5 vmlinux
# <level[,flags]> filename:line function "format"
<5> block/blk-settings.c:661 disk_stack_limits "%s: Warning: Device %s is misaligned\n"
<4> kernel/trace/trace.c:8296 trace_create_file "Could not create tracefs '%s' entry\n"
<6> arch/x86/kernel/hpet.c:144 _hpet_print_config "hpet: %s(%d):\n"
<6> init/do_mounts.c:605 prepare_namespace "Waiting for root device %s...\n"
<6> drivers/acpi/osl.c:1410 acpi_no_auto_serialize_setup "ACPI: auto-serialization disabled\n"
This mitigates the majority of cases where we have a highly-specific
printk which we want to match on, as we can now enumerate and check
whether the format changed or the printk callsite disappeared entirely
in userspace. This allows us to catch changes to printks we monitor
earlier and decide what to do about it before it becomes problematic.
There is no additional runtime cost for printk callers or printk itself,
and the assembly generated is exactly the same.

inside `struct printk_info`. However, the name was never updated, which
is somewhat confusing -- especially since these flags operate at the
record level rather than at the level of an abstract log.
printk_info_flags also joins its other metadata struct friends in
printk_ringbuffer.h.

console_unlock()
The standard printk() tries to flush the message to the console
immediately. It tries to take the console lock. If the lock is
already taken then the current owner is responsible for flushing
even the new message.
There is a small race window between checking whether a new message is
available and releasing the console lock. It is solved by re-checking
the state after releasing the console lock. If the check is positive
then console_unlock() tries to take the lock again and process the new
message as well.
The commit 996e966640ddea7b535c ("printk: remove logbuf_lock") causes that
console_seq is not longer read atomically. As a result, the re-check might
be done with an inconsistent 64-bit index.
Solve it by using the last sequence number that has been checked under
the console lock. In the worst case, it will take the lock again only
to realized that the new message has already been proceed. But it
was possible even before.
The variable next_seq is marked as __maybe_unused to call down compiler
warning when CONFIG_PRINTK is not defined.

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
- Add %pt[RT]s modifier to vsprintf(). It overrides ISO 8601 separator
by using ' ' (space). It produces "YYYY-mm-dd HH:MM:SS" instead of
"YYYY-mm-ddTHH:MM:SS".
- Correctly parse long row of numbers by sscanf() when using the field
width. Add extensive sscanf() selftest.
- Generalize re-entrant CPU lock that has already been used to
serialize dump_stack() output. It is part of the ongoing printk
rework. It will allow to remove the obsoleted printk_safe buffers and
introduce atomic consoles.
- Some code clean up and sparse warning fixes.

The cpu lock implementation uses a full memory barrier to take
the lock, but no memory barriers when releasing the lock. This
means that changes performed by a lock owner may not be seen by
the next lock owner. This may have been "good enough" for use
by dump_stack() as a serialization mechanism, but it is not
enough to provide proper protection for a critical section.
Correct this problem by using acquire/release memory barriers
for lock/unlock, respectively.

dump_stack() implements its own cpu-reentrant spinning lock to
best-effort serialize stack traces in the printk log. However,
there are other functions (such as show_regs()) that can also
benefit from this serialization.
Move the cpu-reentrant spinning lock (cpu lock) into new helper
functions printk_cpu_lock_irqsave()/printk_cpu_unlock_irqrestore()
so that it is available for others as well. For !CONFIG_SMP the
cpu lock is a NOP.
Note that having multiple cpu locks in the system can easily
lead to deadlock. Code needing a cpu lock should use the
printk cpu lock, since the printk cpu lock could be acquired
from any code and any context.
Also note that it is not necessary for a cpu lock to disable
interrupts. However, in upcoming work this cpu lock will be used
for emergency tasks (for example, atomic consoles during kernel
crashes) and any interruptions while holding the cpu lock should
be avoided if possible.

The printk code is already hard enough to understand. Remove an
unnecessary indirection by renaming vprintk_func to vprintk (adding
the asmlinkage annotation), and removing the vprintk definition from
printk.c. That way, printk is implemented in terms of vprintk as one
would expect, and there's no "vprintk_func, what's that? Some function
pointer that gets set where?"
The declaration of vprintk in linux/printk.h already has the
__printf(1,0) attribute, there's no point repeating that with the
definition - it's for diagnostics in callers.
linux/printk.h already contains a static inline {return 0;} definition
of vprintk when !CONFIG_PRINTK.
Since the corresponding stub definition of vprintk_func was not marked
"static inline", any translation unit including internal.h would get a
definition of vprintk_func - it just so happens that for
!CONFIG_PRINTK, there is precisely one such TU, namely printk.c. Had
there been more, it would be a link error; now it's just a silly waste
of a few bytes of .text, which one must assume are rather precious to
anyone disabling PRINTK.

Rather than storing the iterator information in the registered
kmsg_dumper structure, create a separate iterator structure. The
kmsg_dump_iter structure can reside on the stack of the caller, thus
allowing lockless use of the kmsg_dump functions.
Update code that accesses the kernel logs using the kmsg_dumper
structure to use the new kmsg_dump_iter structure. For kmsg_dumpers,
this also means adding a call to kmsg_dump_rewind() to initialize
the iterator.

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.

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.
