Jason Wessel d37d39ae3b printk,kdb: capture printk() when in kdb shell
Certain calls from the kdb shell will call out to printk(), and any of
these calls should get vectored back to the kdb_printf() so that the
kdb pager and processing can be used, as well as to properly channel
I/O to the polled I/O devices.

Kees Cook 002345925e syslog: distinguish between /proc/kmsg and syscalls
This allows the LSM to distinguish between syslog functions originating
from /proc/kmsg access and direct syscalls.  By default, the commoncaps
will now no longer require CAP_SYS_ADMIN to read an opened /proc/kmsg
file descriptor.  For example the kernel syslog reader can now drop
privileges after opening /proc/kmsg, instead of staying privileged with
CAP_SYS_ADMIN.  MAC systems that implement security_syslog have unchanged
behavior.

crash_kexec gets called before kmsg_dump(KMSG_DUMP_OOPS) if
panic_on_oops is set, so the kernel log buffer is not stored
for this case.

This patch adds a KMSG_DUMP_KEXEC dump type which gets called
when crash_kexec() is invoked. To avoid getting double dumps,
the old KMSG_DUMP_PANIC is moved below crash_kexec(). The
mtdoops driver is modified to handle KMSG_DUMP_KEXEC in the
same way as a panic.

Today I got:

  [40676.545099] __ratelimit: 246 callbacks suppressed
  [40676.545103] abcdef[23675]: segfault at 0 ...

as you can see the ratelimit message contains a function prefix.
Since this is always __ratelimit, this wont help much.

This patch changes __ratelimit and printk_ratelimit to print the
function name that calls ratelimit.

This will pinpoint the responsible function, as long as not several
different places call ratelimit with the same ratelimit state at
the same time. In that case we catch only one random function that
calls ratelimit after the wait period.

Frans Pop 1aaad49e85 printk: Restore previous console_loglevel when re-enabling logging
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.

Robin Getz 8259cf4342 printk: Ensure that "console enabled" messages are printed on the console
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.

Robin Getz 4d09161196 printk: Enable the use of more than one CON_BOOT (early console)
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

Linus Torvalds e28d713704 printk: Add KERN_DEFAULT printk log-level
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.

Linus Torvalds 5fd29d6ccb printk: clean up handling of log-levels and newlines
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).

Guillaume Knispel f2d28a2ebc printk: correct the behavior of printk_timed_ratelimit()
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).

Arve Hjønnevåg 403f307576 PM: Fix suspend_console and resume_console to use only one semaphore
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.

Hiroshi Shimamoto 26cc271db7 printk: fix discarding message when recursion_bug
Impact: fix truncated recursion bug message printout

When recursion_bug is true, kernel discards original message because printk_buf
contains recursion_bug_msg with NULL terminator. The sizeof(recursion_bug_msg)
makes this, use strlen() to get correct length without NULL terminator.

Dave Young 717115e1a5 printk ratelimiting rewrite
All ratelimit user use same jiffies and burst params, so some messages
(callbacks) will be lost.

For example:
a call printk_ratelimit(5 * HZ, 1)
b call printk_ratelimit(5 * HZ, 1) before the 5*HZ timeout of a, then b will
will be supressed.

- rewrite __ratelimit, and use a ratelimit_state as parameter.  Thanks for
  hints from andrew.

- Add WARN_ON_RATELIMIT, update rcupreempt.h

- remove __printk_ratelimit

- use __ratelimit in net_ratelimit
