This reverts commit 938ba4084a.
The wait queue @log_wait never has exclusive waiters, so there
is no need to use wake_up_interruptible_all(). Using
wake_up_interruptible() was the correct function to wake all
waiters.
Since there are no exclusive waiters, erroneously changing
wake_up_interruptible() to wake_up_interruptible_all() did not
result in any behavior change. However, using
wake_up_interruptible_all() on a wait queue without exclusive
waiters is fundamentally wrong.
Go back to using wake_up_interruptible() to wake all waiters.

The original intent of the 'console' tracepoint per the commit 9510035849
("printk/tracing: Add console output tracing") had been to "[...] record
any printk messages into the trace, regardless of the current console
loglevel. This can help correlate (existing) printk debugging with other
tracing."
Petr points out [1] that calling trace_console_rcuidle() in
call_console_driver() had been the wrong thing for a while, because
"printk() always used console_trylock() and the message was flushed to
the console only when the trylock succeeded. And it was always deferred
in NMI or when printed via printk_deferred()."
With the commit 09c5ba0aa2 ("printk: add kthread console printers"),
things only got worse, and calls to call_console_driver() no longer
happen with typical printk() calls but always appear deferred [2].
As such, the tracepoint can no longer serve its purpose to clearly
correlate printk() calls and other tracing, as well as breaks usecases
that expect every printk() call to result in a callback of the console
tracepoint. Notably, the KFENCE and KCSAN test suites, which want to
capture console output and assume a printk() immediately gives us a
callback to the console tracepoint.
Fix the console tracepoint by moving it into printk_sprint() [3].
One notable difference is that by moving tracing into printk_sprint(),
the 'text' will no longer include the "header" (loglevel and timestamp),
but only the raw message. Arguably this is less of a problem now that
the console tracepoint happens on the printk() call and isn't delayed.

Currently threaded console printers synchronize against each
other using console_lock(). However, different console drivers
are unrelated and do not require any synchronization between
each other. Removing the synchronization between the threaded
console printers will allow each console to print at its own
speed.
But the threaded consoles printers do still need to synchronize
against console_lock() callers. Introduce a per-console mutex
and a new console boolean field @blocked to provide this
synchronization.
console_lock() is modified so that it must acquire the mutex
of each console in order to set the @blocked field. Console
printing threads will acquire their mutex while printing a
record. If @blocked was set, the thread will go back to sleep
instead of printing.
The reason for the @blocked boolean field is so that
console_lock() callers do not need to acquire multiple console
mutexes simultaneously, which would introduce unnecessary
complexity due to nested mutex locking. Also, a new field
was chosen instead of adding a new @flags value so that the
blocked status could be checked without concern of reading
inconsistent values due to @flags updates from other contexts.
Threaded console printers also need to synchronize against
console_trylock() callers. Since console_trylock() may be
called from any context, the per-console mutex cannot be used
for this synchronization. (mutex_trylock() cannot be called
from atomic contexts.) Introduce a global atomic counter to
identify if any threaded printers are active. The threaded
printers will also check the atomic counter to identify if the
console has been locked by another task via console_trylock().
Note that @console_sem is still used to provide synchronization
between console_lock() and console_trylock() callers.
A locking overview for console_lock(), console_trylock(), and the
threaded printers is as follows (pseudo code):
console_lock()
{
down(&console_sem);
for_each_console(con) {
mutex_lock(&con->lock);
con->blocked = true;
mutex_unlock(&con->lock);
}
/* console_lock acquired */
}
console_trylock()
{
if (down_trylock(&console_sem) == 0) {
if (atomic_cmpxchg(&console_kthreads_active, 0, -1) == 0) {
/* console_lock acquired */
}
}
}
threaded_printer()
{
mutex_lock(&con->lock);
if (!con->blocked) {
/* console_lock() callers blocked */
if (atomic_inc_unless_negative(&console_kthreads_active)) {
/* console_trylock() callers blocked */
con->write();
atomic_dec(&console_lock_count);
}
}
mutex_unlock(&con->lock);
}
The console owner and waiter logic now only applies between contexts
that have taken the console_lock via console_trylock(). Threaded
printers never take the console_lock, so they do not have a
console_lock to handover. Tasks that have used console_lock() will
block the threaded printers using a mutex and if the console_lock
is handed over to an atomic context, it would be unable to unblock
the threaded printers. However, the console_trylock() case is
really the only scenario that is interesting for handovers anyway.
@panic_console_dropped must change to atomic_t since it is no longer
protected exclusively by the console_lock.
Since threaded printers remain asleep if they see that the console
is locked, they now must be explicitly woken in __console_unlock().
This means wake_up_klogd() calls following a console_unlock() are
no longer necessary and are removed.
Also note that threaded printers no longer need to check
@console_suspended. The check for the @blocked field implicitly
covers the suspended console case.

Create a kthread for each console to perform console printing. During
normal operation (@system_state == SYSTEM_RUNNING), the kthread
printers are responsible for all printing on their respective
consoles.
During non-normal operation, console printing is done as it has been:
within the context of the printk caller or within irqwork triggered
by the printk caller, referred to as direct printing.
Since threaded console printers are responsible for all printing
during normal operation, this also includes messages generated via
deferred printk calls. If direct printing is in effect during a
deferred printk call, the queued irqwork will perform the direct
printing. To make it clear that this is the only time that the
irqwork will perform direct printing, rename the flag
PRINTK_PENDING_OUTPUT to PRINTK_PENDING_DIRECT_OUTPUT.
Threaded console printers synchronize against each other and against
console lockers by taking the console lock for each message that is
printed.
Note that the kthread printers do not care about direct printing.
They will always try to print if new records are available. They can
be blocked by direct printing, but will be woken again once direct
printing is finished.
Console unregistration is a bit tricky because the associated
kthread printer cannot be stopped while the console lock is held.
A policy is implemented that states: whichever task clears
con->thread (under the console lock) is responsible for stopping
the kthread. unregister_console() will clear con->thread while
the console lock is held and then stop the kthread after releasing
the console lock.
For consoles that have implemented the exit() callback, the kthread
is stopped before exit() is called.

Once kthread printing is available, console printing will no longer
occur in the context of the printk caller. However, there are some
special contexts where it is desirable for the printk caller to
directly print out kernel messages. Using pr_flush() to wait for
threaded printers is only possible if the caller is in a sleepable
context and the kthreads are active. That is not always the case.
Introduce printk_prefer_direct_enter() and printk_prefer_direct_exit()
functions to explicitly (and globally) activate/deactivate preferred
direct console printing. The term "direct console printing" refers to
printing to all enabled consoles from the context of the printk
caller. The term "prefer" is used because this type of printing is
only best effort. If the console is currently locked or other
printers are already actively printing, the printk caller will need
to rely on the other contexts to handle the printing.
This preferred direct printing is how all printing has been handled
until now (unless it was explicitly deferred).
When kthread printing is introduced, there may be some unanticipated
problems due to kthreads being unable to flush important messages.
In order to minimize such risks, preferred direct printing is
activated for the primary important messages when the system
experiences general types of major errors. These are:
- emergency reboot/shutdown
- cpu and rcu stalls
- hard and soft lockups
- hung tasks
- warn
- sysrq
Note that since kthread printing does not yet exist, no behavior
changes result from this commit. This is only implementing the
counter and marking the various places where preferred direct
printing is active.

Extended consoles print extended messages and do not print messages about
dropped records.
Non-extended consoles print "normal" messages as well as extra messages
about dropped records.
Currently the buffers for these various message types are defined within
the functions that might use them and their usage is based upon the
CON_EXTENDED flag. This will be a problem when moving to kthread printers
because each printer must be able to provide its own buffers.
Move all the message buffer definitions outside of
console_emit_next_record(). The caller knows if extended or dropped
messages should be printed and can specify the appropriate buffers to
use. The console_emit_next_record() and call_console_driver() functions
can know what to print based on whether specified buffers are non-NULL.
With this change, buffer definition/allocation/specification is separated
from the code that does the various types of string printing.

Refactor/rework printing logic in order to prepare for moving to
threaded console printing.
- Move @console_seq into struct console so that the current
"position" of each console can be tracked individually.
- Move @console_dropped into struct console so that the current drop
count of each console can be tracked individually.
- Modify printing logic so that each console independently loads,
prepares, and prints its next record.
- Remove exclusive_console logic. Since console positions are
handled independently, replaying past records occurs naturally.
- Update the comments explaining why preemption is disabled while
printing from printk() context.
With these changes, there is a change in behavior: the console
replaying the log (formerly exclusive console) will no longer block
other consoles. New messages appear on the other consoles while the
newly added console is still replaying.

During panic(), if another CPU is writing heavily the kernel log (e.g.
via /dev/kmsg), then the panic CPU may livelock writing out its messages
to the console. Note when too many messages are dropped during panic and
suppress further printk, except from the panic CPU. This could result in
some important messages being dropped. However, messages are already

A CPU executing with console lock spinning enabled might be halted
during a panic. Before the panicking CPU calls console_flush_on_panic(),
it may call console_trylock(), which attempts to optimistically spin,
deadlocking the panic CPU:
CPU 0 (panic CPU) CPU 1
----------------- ------
printk() {
vprintk_func() {
vprintk_default() {
vprintk_emit() {
console_unlock() {
console_lock_spinning_enable();
... printing to console ...
panic() {
crash_smp_send_stop() {
NMI -------------------> HALT
}
atomic_notifier_call_chain() {
printk() {
...
console_trylock_spinnning() {
// optimistic spin infinitely
This hang during panic can be induced when a kdump kernel is loaded, and
crash_kexec_post_notifiers=1 is present on the kernel command line. The
following script which concurrently writes to /dev/kmsg, and triggers a
panic, can result in this hang:
#!/bin/bash
date
# 991 chars (based on log buffer size):
chars="$(printf 'a%.0s' {1..991})"
while :; do
echo $chars > /dev/kmsg
done &
echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger &
date
exit
To avoid this deadlock, ensure that console_trylock_spinning() does not
allow spinning once a panic has begun.

This will be used help avoid deadlocks during panics. Although it would
be better to include this in linux/panic.h, it would require that header
to include linux/atomic.h as well. On some architectures, this results
in a circular dependency as well. So instead add the helper directly to
printk.c.

prb_next_seq() always iterates from the first known sequence number.
In the worst case, it might loop 8k times for 256kB buffer,
15k times for 512kB buffer, and 64k times for 2MB buffer.
It was reported that polling and reading using syslog interface
might occupy 50% of CPU.
Speedup the search by storing @id of the last finalized descriptor.
The loop is still needed because the @id is stored and read in the best
effort way. An atomic variable is used to keep the @id consistent.
But the stores and reads are not serialized against each other.
The descriptor could get reused in the meantime. The related sequence
number will be used only when it is still valid.
An invalid value should be read _only_ when there is a flood of messages
and the ringbuffer is rapidly reused. The performance is the least
problem in this case.

kernel/sysctl.c is a kitchen sink where everyone leaves their dirty
dishes, this makes it very difficult to maintain.
To help with this maintenance let's start by moving sysctls to places
where they actually belong. The proc sysctl maintainers do not want to
know what sysctl knobs you wish to add for your own piece of code, we
just care about the core logic.
So move printk sysctl from kernel/sysctl.c to kernel/printk/sysctl.c.
Use register_sysctl() to register the sysctl interface.

The variable @bcon has two meanings. It is used several times for iterating
the list of registered consoles. In the meantime, it holds the information
whether a boot console is first in @console_drivers list.
The information about the 1st console driver used to be important for
the decision whether to install the new console by default or not.
It allowed to re-evaluate the variable @need_default_console when
a real console with tty binding has been unregistered in the meantime.
The decision about the default console is not longer affected by @bcon
variable. The current code checks whether the first driver is real
and has tty binding directly.
The information about the first console is still used for two more
decisions:
1. It prevents duplicate output on non-boot consoles with
CON_CONSDEV flag set.
2. Early/boot consoles are unregistered when a real console with
CON_CONSDEV is registered and @keep_bootcon is not set.
The behavior in the real life is far from obvious. @bcon is set according
to the first console @console_drivers list. But the first position in
the list is special:
1. Consoles with CON_CONSDEV flag are put at the beginning of
the list. It is either the preferred console or any console
with tty binding registered by default.
2. Another console might become the first in the list when
the first console in the list is unregistered. It might
happen either explicitly or automatically when boot
consoles are unregistered.
There is one more important rule:
+ Boot consoles can't be registered when any real console
is already registered.
It is a puzzle. The main complication is the dependency on the first
position is the list and the complicated rules around it.
Let's try to make it easier:
1. Add variable @bootcon_enabled and set it by iterating all registered
consoles. The variable has obvious meaning and more predictable
behavior. Any speed optimization and other tricks are not worth it.
2. Use a generic name for the variable that is used to iterate
the list on registered console drivers.
Behavior change:
No, maybe surprisingly, there is _no_ behavior change!
Let's provide the proof by contradiction. Both operations, duplicate
output prevention and boot consoles removal, are done only when
the newly added console has CON_CONSDEV flag set. The behavior
would change when the new @bootcon_enabled has different value
than the original @bcon.
By other words, the behavior would change when the following conditions
are true:
+ a console with CON_CONSDEV flag is added
+ a real (non-boot) console is the first in the list
+ a boot console is later in the list
Now, a real console might be first in the list only when:
+ It was the first registered console. In this case, there can't be
any boot console because any later ones were rejected.
+ It was put at the first position because it had CON_CONSDEV flag
set. It was either the preferred console or it was a console with
tty binding registered by default. We are interested only in
a real consoles here. And real console with tty binding fulfills
conditions of the default console.
Now, there is always only one console that is either preferred
or fulfills conditions of the default console. It can't be already
in the list and being registered at the same time.
As a result, the above three conditions could newer be "true" at
the same time. Therefore the behavior can't change.
Final dilemma:
OK, the new code has the same behavior. But is the change in the right
direction? What if the handling of @console_drivers is updated in
the future?
OK, let's look at it from another angle:
1. The ordering of @console_drivers list is important only in
console_device() function. The first console driver with tty
binding gets associated with /dev/console.
2. CON_CONSDEV flag is shown in /proc/consoles. And it should be set
for the driver that is returned by console_device().
3. A boot console is removed and the duplicated output is prevented
when the real console with CON_CONSDEV flag is registered.
Now, in the ideal world:
+ The driver associated with /dev/console should be either a console
preferred via the command line, device tree, or SPCR. Or it should
be the first real console with tty binding registered by default.
+ The code should match the related boot and real console drivers.
It should unregister only the obsolete boot driver. And the duplicated
output should be prevented only on the related real driver.
It is clear that it is not guaranteed by the current code. Instead,
the current code looks like a maze of heuristics that try to achieve
the above.
It is result of adding several features over last few decades. For example,
a possibility to register more consoles, unregister consoles, boot
consoles, consoles without tty binding, device tree, SPCR, braille
consoles.
Anyway, there is no reason why the decision, about removing boot consoles
and preventing duplicated output, should depend on the first console
in the list. The current code does the decisions primary by CON_CONSDEV
flag that is used for the preferred console. It looks like a
good compromise. And the change seems to be in the right direction.

The variable @need_default_console is used to decide whether a newly
registered console should get enabled by default.
The logic is complicated. It can be modified in a register_console()
call. But it is always re-evaluated in the next call by the following
condition:
if (need_default_console || bcon || !console_drivers)
need_default_console = preferred_console < 0;
In short, the value is updated when either of the condition is valid:
+ the value is still, or again, "true"
+ boot/early console is still the first in @console_driver list
+ @console_driver list is empty
The value is updated according to @preferred_console. In particular,
it is set to "false" when a @preferred_console was set by
__add_preferred_console(). This happens when a non-braille console
was added via the command line, device tree, or SPCR.
It far from clear what this all means together. Let's look at
@need_default_console from another angle:
1. The value is "true" by default. It means that it is always set
according to @preferred_console during the first register_console()
call.
By other words, the first register_console() call will register
the console by default only when none non-braille console was defined
via the command line, device tree, or SPCR.
2. The value will always stay "false" when @preferred_console is set.
By other words, try_enable_default_console() will never get called
when a non-braille console is explicitly required.
4. The value might be set to "false" in try_enable_default_console()
when a console with tty binding (driver) gets enabled.
In this case CON_CONSDEV is set as well. It causes that the console
will be inserted as first into the list @console_driver. It might
be either real or boot/early console.
5. The value will be set _back_ to "true" in the next register_console()
call when:
+ The console added by the previous register_console() had been
a boot/early one.
+ The last console has been unregistered in the meantime and
a boot/early console became first in @console_drivers list
again. Or the list became empty.
By other words, the value will stay "false" only when the last
registered console was real, had tty binding, and was not removed
in the mean time.
The main logic looks clear:
+ Consoles are enabled by default only when no one is preferred
via the command line, device tree, or SPCR.
+ By default, any console is enabled until a real console
with tty binding gets registered.
The behavior when the real console with tty binding is later removed
is a bit unclear:
+ By default, any new console is registered again only when there
is no console or the first console in the list is a boot one.
The question is why the code is suddenly happy when a real console
without tty binding is the first in the list. It looks like an overlook
and bug.
Conclusion:
The state of @preferred_console and the first console in @console_driver
list should be enough to decide whether we need to enable the given console
by default.
The rules are simple. New consoles are _not_ enabled by default
when either of the following conditions is true:
+ @preferred_console is set. It means that a non-braille console
is explicitly configured via the command line, device tree, or SPCR.
+ A real console with tty binding is registered. Such a console will
have CON_CONSDEV flag set and will always be the first in
@console_drivers list.
Note:
The new code does not use @bcon variable. The meaning of the variable
is far from clear. The direct check of the first console in the list
makes it more clear that only real console fulfills requirements
of the default console.
Behavior change:
As already discussed above. There was one situation where the original
code worked a strange way. Let's have:
+ console A: real console without tty binding
+ console B: real console with tty binding
and do:
register_console(A); /* 1st step */
register_console(B); /* 2nd step */
unregister_console(B); /* 3rd step */
register_console(B); /* 4th step */
The original code will not register the console B in the 4th step.
@need_default_console is set to "false" in 2nd step. The real console
with tty binding (driver) is then removed in the 3rd step.
But @need_default_console will stay "false" in the 4th step because
there is no boot/early console and @registered_consoles list is not
empty.
The new code will register the console B in the 4th step because
it checks whether the first console has tty binding (->driver)
This behavior change should acceptable:
1. The scenario requires manual intervention (console removal).
The system should boot with the same consoles as before.
2. Console B is registered again probably because the user wants
to use it. The most likely scenario is that the related
module is reloaded.
3. It makes the behavior more consistent and predictable.

There is no need to clear @need_default_console when a console
preferred by the command line, device tree, or SPCR, gets enabled.
The code is called only when some non-braille console matched a console
in @console_cmdline array. It means that a non-braille console was added
in __add_preferred_console() and the variable preferred_console is set
to a number >= 0. As a result, @need_default_console is always set to
"false" in the magic condition:
if (need_default_console || bcon || !console_drivers)
need_default_console = preferred_console < 0;
This is one small step in removing the above magic condition
that is hard to follow.
The patch removes one superfluous assignment and should not change
the functionality.

The logic around the variable @has_preferred_console made my head
spin many times. Part of the problem is the ambiguous name.
There is the variable @preferred_console. It points to the last
non-braille console in @console_cmdline array. This array contains
consoles preferred via the command line, device tree, or SPCR.
Then there is the variable @has_preferred_console. It is set to
"true" when @preferred_console is enabled or when a console with
tty binding gets enabled by default.
It might get reset back by the magic condition:
if (!has_preferred_console || bcon || !console_drivers)
has_preferred_console = preferred_console >= 0;
It is a puzzle. Dumb explanation is that it gets re-evaluated
when:
+ it was not set before (see above when it gets set)
+ there is still an early console enabled (bcon)
+ there is no console enabled (!console_drivers)
This is still a puzzle.
It gets more clear when we see where the value is checked. The only
meaning of the variable is to decide whether we should try to enable
the new console by default.
Rename the variable according to the single situation where
the value is checked.
The rename requires an inverted logic. Otherwise, it is a simple
search & replace. It does not change the functionality.

Rename memblock_free_ptr() to memblock_free() and use memblock_free()
when freeing a virtual pointer so that memblock_free() will be a
counterpart of memblock_alloc()
The callers are updated with the below semantic patch and manual
addition of (void *) casting to pointers that are represented by
unsigned long variables.

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.
