Currently @suppress_panic_printk is checked along with
non-matching @panic_cpu and current CPU. This works
because @suppress_panic_printk is only set when
panic_in_progress() is true.
Rather than relying on the @suppress_panic_printk semantics,
use the concise helper function other_cpu_in_progress(). The
helper function exists to avoid open coding such tests.

[ Upstream commit 801410b26a0e8b8a16f7915b2b55c9528b69ca87 ]
During the handoff from earlycon to the real console driver, we have
two separate drivers operating on the same device concurrently. In the
case of the 8250 driver these concurrent accesses cause problems due
to the driver's use of banked registers, controlled by LCR.DLAB. It is
possible for the setup(), config_port(), pm() and set_mctrl() callbacks
to set DLAB, which can cause the earlycon code that intends to access
TX to instead access DLL, leading to missed output and corruption on
the serial line due to unintended modifications to the baud rate.
In particular, for setup() we have:
univ8250_console_setup()
-> serial8250_console_setup()
-> uart_set_options()
-> serial8250_set_termios()
-> serial8250_do_set_termios()
-> serial8250_do_set_divisor()
For config_port() we have:
serial8250_config_port()
-> autoconfig()
For pm() we have:
serial8250_pm()
-> serial8250_do_pm()
-> serial8250_set_sleep()
For set_mctrl() we have (for some devices):
serial8250_set_mctrl()
-> omap8250_set_mctrl()
-> __omap8250_set_mctrl()
To avoid such problems, let's make it so that the console is locked
during pre-registration calls to these callbacks, which will prevent
the earlycon driver from running concurrently.
Remove the partial solution to this problem in the 8250 driver
that locked the console only during autoconfig_irq(), as this would
result in a deadlock with the new approach. The console continues
to be locked during autoconfig_irq() because it can only be called
through uart_configure_port().
Although this patch introduces more locking than strictly necessary
(and in particular it also locks during the call to rs485_config()
which is not affected by this issue as far as I can tell), it follows
the principle that it is the responsibility of the generic console
code to manage the earlycon handoff by ensuring that earlycon and real
console driver code cannot run concurrently, and not the individual
drivers.

[ Upstream commit d04d5882cd678b898a9d7c5aee6afbe9e6e77fcd ]
The commit d51507098f ("printk: disable optimistic spin
during panic") added checks to avoid becoming a console waiter
if a panic is in progress.
However, the transition to panic can occur while there is
already a waiter. The current owner should not pass the lock to
the waiter because it might get stopped or blocked anytime.
Also the panic context might pass the console lock owner to an
already stopped waiter by mistake. It might happen when
console_flush_on_panic() ignores the current lock owner, for
example:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
console_lock_spinning_enable()
console_trylock_spinning()
[CPU1 now console waiter]
NMI: panic()
panic_other_cpus_shutdown()
[stopped as console waiter]
console_flush_on_panic()
console_lock_spinning_enable()
[print 1 record]
console_lock_spinning_disable_and_check()
[handover to stopped CPU1]
This results in panic() not flushing the panic messages.
Fix these problems by disabling all spinning operations
completely during panic().
Another advantage is that it prevents possible deadlocks caused
by "console_owner_lock". The panic() context does not need to
take it any longer. The lockless checks are safe because the
functions become NOPs when they see the panic in progress. All
operations manipulating the state are still synchronized by the
lock even when non-panic CPUs would notice the panic
synchronously.
The current owner might stay spinning. But non-panic() CPUs
would get stopped anyway and the panic context will never start
spinning.

Commit 9e70a5e109 ("printk: Add per-console suspended state")
removed console lock usage during resume and replaced it with
the clearly defined console_list_lock and srcu mechanisms.
However, the console lock usage had an important side-effect
of flushing the consoles. After its removal, consoles were no
longer flushed before checking their progress.
Add the console_lock/console_unlock dance to the beginning
of __pr_flush() to actually flush the consoles before checking
their progress. Also add comments to clarify this additional
usage of the console lock.
Note that console_unlock() does not guarantee flushing all messages
since the commit dbdda842fe ("printk: Add console owner and waiter
logic to load balance console writes").

Currently the global @console_suspended is used to determine if
consoles are in a suspended state. Its primary purpose is to allow
usage of the console_lock when suspended without causing console
printing. It is synchronized by the console_lock.
Rather than relying on the console_lock to determine suspended
state, make it an official per-console state that is set within
console->flags. This allows the state to be queried via SRCU.
Remove @console_suspended. Console printing will still be avoided
when suspended because console_is_usable() returns false when
the new suspended flag is set for that console.

Printing to consoles can be deferred for several reasons:
- explicitly with printk_deferred()
- printk() in NMI context
- recursive printk() calls
The current implementation is not consistent. For printk_deferred(),
irq work is scheduled twice. For NMI und recursive, panic CPU
suppression and caller delays are not properly enforced.
Correct these inconsistencies by consolidating the deferred printing
code so that vprintk_deferred() is the top-level function for
deferred printing and vprintk_emit() will perform whichever irq_work
queueing is appropriate.
Also add kerneldoc for wake_up_klogd() and defer_console_output() to
clarify their differences and appropriate usage.

Currently console_flush_on_panic() will attempt to acquire the
console lock when flushing the buffer on panic. If it fails to
acquire the lock, it continues anyway because this is the last
chance to get any pending records printed.
The reason why the console lock was attempted at all was to
prevent any other CPUs from acquiring the console lock for
printing while the panic CPU was printing. But as of the
previous commit, non-panic CPUs will no longer attempt to
acquire the console lock in a panic situation. Therefore it is
no longer strictly necessary for a panic CPU to acquire the
console lock.
Avoiding taking the console lock when flushing in panic has
the additional benefit of avoiding possible deadlocks due to
semaphore usage in NMI context (semaphores are not NMI-safe)
and avoiding possible deadlocks if another CPU accesses the
semaphore and is stopped while holding one of the semaphore's
internal spinlocks.

When in a panic situation, non-panic CPUs should avoid holding the
console lock so as not to contend with the panic CPU. This is already
implemented with abandon_console_lock_in_panic(), which is checked
after each printed line. However, non-panic CPUs should also avoid
trying to acquire the console lock during a panic.
Modify console_trylock() to fail and console_lock() to block() when
called from a non-panic CPU during a panic.

A semaphore is not NMI-safe, even when using down_trylock(). Both
down_trylock() and up() are using internal spinlocks and up()
might even call wake_up_process().
In the panic() code path it gets even worse because the internal
spinlocks of the semaphore may have been taken by a CPU that has
been stopped.
To reduce the risk of deadlocks caused by the console semaphore in
the panic path, make the following changes:
- First check if any consoles have implemented the unblank()
callback. If not, then there is no reason to take the console
semaphore anyway. (This check is also useful for the non-panic
path since the locking/unlocking of the console lock can be
quite expensive due to console printing.)
- If the panic path is in NMI context, bail out without attempting
to take the console semaphore or calling any unblank() callbacks.
Bailing out is acceptable because console_unblank() would already
bail out if the console semaphore is contended. The alternative of
ignoring the console semaphore and calling the unblank() callbacks
anyway is a bad idea because these callbacks are also not NMI-safe.
If consoles with unblank() callbacks exist and console_unblank() is
called from a non-NMI panic context, it will still attempt a
down_trylock(). This could still result in a deadlock if one of the
stopped CPUs is holding the semaphore internal spinlock. But this
is a risk that the kernel has been (and continues to be) willing
to take.

The read side of seqcount_latch consists of:
do {
seq = raw_read_seqcount_latch(&latch->seq);
...
} while (read_seqcount_latch_retry(&latch->seq, seq));
which is asymmetric in the raw_ department, and sure enough,
read_seqcount_latch_retry() includes (explicit) instrumentation where
raw_read_seqcount_latch() does not.
This inconsistency becomes a problem when trying to use it from
noinstr code. As such, fix it by renaming and re-implementing
raw_read_seqcount_latch_retry() without the instrumentation.
Specifically the instrumentation in question is kcsan_atomic_next(0)
in do___read_seqcount_retry(). Loosing this annotation is not a
problem because raw_read_seqcount_latch() does not pass through
kcsan_atomic_next(KCSAN_SEQLOCK_REGION_MAX).

The summary of the changes for this pull requests is:
* Song Liu's new struct module_memory replacement
* Nick Alcock's MODULE_LICENSE() removal for non-modules
* My cleanups and enhancements to reduce the areas where we vmalloc
module memory for duplicates, and the respective debug code which
proves the remaining vmalloc pressure comes from userspace.
Most of the changes have been in linux-next for quite some time except
the minor fixes I made to check if a module was already loaded
prior to allocating the final module memory with vmalloc and the
respective debug code it introduces to help clarify the issue. Although
the functional change is small it is rather safe as it can only *help*
reduce vmalloc space for duplicates and is confirmed to fix a bootup
issue with over 400 CPUs with KASAN enabled. I don't expect stable
kernels to pick up that fix as the cleanups would have also had to have
been picked up. Folks on larger CPU systems with modules will want to
just upgrade if vmalloc space has been an issue on bootup.
Given the size of this request, here's some more elaborate details
on this pull request.
The functional change change in this pull request is the very first
patch from Song Liu which replaces the struct module_layout with a new
struct module memory. The old data structure tried to put together all
types of supported module memory types in one data structure, the new
one abstracts the differences in memory types in a module to allow each
one to provide their own set of details. This paves the way in the
future so we can deal with them in a cleaner way. If you look at changes
they also provide a nice cleanup of how we handle these different memory
areas in a module. This change has been in linux-next since before the
merge window opened for v6.3 so to provide more than a full kernel cycle
of testing. It's a good thing as quite a bit of fixes have been found
for it.
Jason Baron then made dynamic debug a first class citizen module user by
using module notifier callbacks to allocate / remove module specific
dynamic debug information.
Nick Alcock has done quite a bit of work cross-tree to remove module
license tags from things which cannot possibly be module at my request
so to:
a) help him with his longer term tooling goals which require a
deterministic evaluation if a piece a symbol code could ever be
part of a module or not. But quite recently it is has been made
clear that tooling is not the only one that would benefit.
Disambiguating symbols also helps efforts such as live patching,
kprobes and BPF, but for other reasons and R&D on this area
is active with no clear solution in sight.
b) help us inch closer to the now generally accepted long term goal
of automating all the MODULE_LICENSE() tags from SPDX license tags
In so far as a) is concerned, although module license tags are a no-op
for non-modules, tools which would want create a mapping of possible
modules can only rely on the module license tag after the commit
8b41fc4454 ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without Makefile.modbuiltin
or tristate.conf"). Nick has been working on this *for years* and
AFAICT I was the only one to suggest two alternatives to this approach
for tooling. The complexity in one of my suggested approaches lies in
that we'd need a possible-obj-m and a could-be-module which would check
if the object being built is part of any kconfig build which could ever
lead to it being part of a module, and if so define a new define
-DPOSSIBLE_MODULE [0]. A more obvious yet theoretical approach I've
suggested would be to have a tristate in kconfig imply the same new
-DPOSSIBLE_MODULE as well but that means getting kconfig symbol names
mapping to modules always, and I don't think that's the case today. I am
not aware of Nick or anyone exploring either of these options. Quite
recently Josh Poimboeuf has pointed out that live patching, kprobes and
BPF would benefit from resolving some part of the disambiguation as
well but for other reasons. The function granularity KASLR (fgkaslr)
patches were mentioned but Joe Lawrence has clarified this effort has
been dropped with no clear solution in sight [1].
In the meantime removing module license tags from code which could never
be modules is welcomed for both objectives mentioned above. Some
developers have also welcomed these changes as it has helped clarify
when a module was never possible and they forgot to clean this up,
and so you'll see quite a bit of Nick's patches in other pull
requests for this merge window. I just picked up the stragglers after
rc3. LWN has good coverage on the motivation behind this work [2] and
the typical cross-tree issues he ran into along the way. The only
concrete blocker issue he ran into was that we should not remove the
MODULE_LICENSE() tags from files which have no SPDX tags yet, even if
they can never be modules. Nick ended up giving up on his efforts due
to having to do this vetting and backlash he ran into from folks who
really did *not understand* the core of the issue nor were providing
any alternative / guidance. I've gone through his changes and dropped
the patches which dropped the module license tags where an SPDX
license tag was missing, it only consisted of 11 drivers. To see
if a pull request deals with a file which lacks SPDX tags you
can just use:
./scripts/spdxcheck.py -f \
$(git diff --name-only commid-id | xargs echo)
You'll see a core module file in this pull request for the above,
but that's not related to his changes. WE just need to add the SPDX
license tag for the kernel/module/kmod.c file in the future but
it demonstrates the effectiveness of the script.
Most of Nick's changes were spread out through different trees,
and I just picked up the slack after rc3 for the last kernel was out.
Those changes have been in linux-next for over two weeks.
The cleanups, debug code I added and final fix I added for modules
were motivated by David Hildenbrand's report of boot failing on
a systems with over 400 CPUs when KASAN was enabled due to running
out of virtual memory space. Although the functional change only
consists of 3 lines in the patch "module: avoid allocation if module is
already present and ready", proving that this was the best we can
do on the modules side took quite a bit of effort and new debug code.
The initial cleanups I did on the modules side of things has been
in linux-next since around rc3 of the last kernel, the actual final
fix for and debug code however have only been in linux-next for about a
week or so but I think it is worth getting that code in for this merge
window as it does help fix / prove / evaluate the issues reported
with larger number of CPUs. Userspace is not yet fixed as it is taking
a bit of time for folks to understand the crux of the issue and find a
proper resolution. Worst come to worst, I have a kludge-of-concept [3]
of how to make kernel_read*() calls for modules unique / converge them,
but I'm currently inclined to just see if userspace can fix this
instead.

The original check for non-null "user" object was introduced by commit
e11fea92e1 ("kmsg: export printk records to the /dev/kmsg interface")
when "user" could be NULL if /dev/ksmg was opened for writing.
Subsequent change 750afe7bab ("printk: add kernel parameter to control
writes to /dev/kmsg") made "user" context required for files opened for
write, but didn't remove now redundant checks for it to be non-NULL.
This patch removes the dead code while preserving the current logic.

which could not share the global buffers
- Prevent memory leak when removing printk index in debugfs

call debugfs_lookup_and_remove() instead which handles all of the logic

Use scnprintf() for printing the message about dropped messages on
a console. It returns the really written length of the message.
It prevents potential buffer overflow when the returned length is
later used to copy the buffer content.
Note that the previous code was safe because the scratch buffer was
big enough and the message always fit in. But scnprintf() makes
it more safe, definitely.

register_console(), commit 6193bc9084 ("tty: serial: kgdboc:
synchronize tty_find_polling_driver() and register_console()") takes
the @console_mutex. However, this leads to the following call chain
(with locking):
platform_probe
kgdboc_probe
configure_kgdboc (locks @console_mutex)
tty_find_polling_driver
uart_poll_init (locks tty_port->mutex)
uart_set_options
This is clearly deadlock potential due to the reverse lock ordering.
Since uart_set_options() requires holding @console_mutex in order to
serialize early initialization of the serial-console lock, take the
@console_mutex in uart_poll_init() instead of configure_kgdboc().
Since configure_kgdboc() was using @console_mutex for safe traversal
of the console list, change it to use the SRCU iterator instead.
Add comments to uart_set_options() kerneldoc mentioning that it
requires holding @console_mutex (aka the console_list_lock).

The various internal size limit macros have names and/or values that
do not fit well to their current usage.
Rename the macros so that their purpose is clear and, if needed,
provide a more appropriate value. In general, the new macros and
values will lead to less memory usage. The new macros are...
PRINTK_MESSAGE_MAX:
This is the maximum size for a formatted message on a console,
devkmsg, or syslog. It does not matter which format the message has
(normal or extended). It replaces the use of CONSOLE_EXT_LOG_MAX for
console and devkmsg. It replaces the use of CONSOLE_LOG_MAX for
syslog.
Historically, normal messages have been allowed to print up to 1kB,
whereas extended messages have been allowed to print up to 8kB.
However, the difference in lengths of these message types is not
significant and in multi-line records, normal messages are probably
larger. Also, because 1kB is only slightly above the allowed record
size, multi-line normal messages could be easily truncated during
formatting.
This new macro should be significantly larger than the allowed
record size to allow sufficient space for extended or multi-line
prefix text. A value of 2kB should be plenty of space. For normal
messages this represents a doubling of the historically allowed
amount. For extended messages it reduces the excessive 8kB size,
thus reducing memory usage needed for message formatting.
PRINTK_PREFIX_MAX:
This is the maximum size allowed for a record prefix (used by
console and syslog). It replaces PREFIX_MAX. The value is left
unchanged.
PRINTKRB_RECORD_MAX:
This is the maximum size allowed to be reserved for a record in the
ringbuffer. It is used by all readers and writers with the printk
ringbuffer. It replaces LOG_LINE_MAX.
Previously this was set to "1kB - PREFIX_MAX", which makes some
sense if 1kB is the limit for normal message output and prefixes are
enabled. However, with the allowance of larger output and the
existence of multi-line records, the value is rather bizarre.
Round the value up to 1kB.

Replace the buffers in struct devkmsg_user with a struct
printk_buffers. This reduces the number of buffers to keep track of.
As a side-effect, @text_buf was 8kB large, even though it only
needed to be the max size of a ringbuffer record. By switching to
struct printk_buffers, ~7kB less memory is allocated when opening
/dev/kmsg.
And since struct printk_buffers will be used now, reduce duplicate
code by calling printk_get_next_message() to handle the record
reading and formatting.
Note that since /dev/kmsg never suppresses records based on
loglevel, printk_get_next_message() is extended with an extra
bool argument to specify if suppression is allowed.

Currently "dropped messages" are separately printed immediately
before printing the printk message. Since normal consoles are
now using an output buffer that is much larger than previously,
the "dropped message" could be prepended to the printk message
and then output everything in a single write() call.
Introduce a helper function console_prepend_dropped() to prepend
an existing message with a "dropped message". This simplifies
the code by allowing all message formatting to be handled
together and then only requires a single write() call to output
the full message. And since this helper does not require any
locking, it can be used in the future for other console printing
contexts as well.
Note that console_prepend_dropped() is defined as a NOP for
!CONFIG_PRINTK. Although the function will never be called for
!CONFIG_PRINTK, compiling the function can lead to warnings of
"always true" conditionals due to the size macro values used
in !CONFIG_PRINTK.

Code for performing the console output is intermixed with code that
is formatting the output for that console. Introduce a new helper
function printk_get_next_message() to handle the reading and
formatting of the printk text. The helper does not require any
locking so that in the future it can be used for other printing
contexts as well.
This also introduces a new struct printk_message to wrap the struct
printk_buffers, adding metadata about its contents. This allows
users of printk_get_next_message() to receive all relevant
information about the message that was read and formatted.
Why is struct printk_message a wrapper struct?
It is intentional that a wrapper struct is introduced instead of
adding the metadata directly to struct printk_buffers. The upcoming
atomic consoles support multiple printing contexts per CPU. This
means that while a CPU is formatting a message, it can be
interrupted and the interrupting context may also format a (possibly
different) message. Since the printk buffers are rather large,
there will only be one struct printk_buffers per CPU and it must be
shared by the possible contexts of that CPU.
If the metadata was part of struct printk_buffers, interrupting
contexts would clobber the metadata being prepared by the
interrupted context. This could be handled by robustifying the
message formatting functions to cope with metadata unexpectedly
changing. However, this would require significant amounts of extra
data copying, also adding significant complexity to the code.
Instead, the metadata can live on the stack of the formatting
context and the message formatting functions do not need to be
concerned about the metadata changing underneath them.
Note that the message formatting functions can handle unexpected
text buffer changes. So it is perfectly OK if a shared text buffer
is clobbered by an interrupting context. The atomic console
implementation will recognize the interruption and avoid printing
the (probably garbage) text buffer.

Introduce a new struct printk_buffers to contain all the buffers
needed to read and format a printk message for output. Putting the
buffers inside a struct reduces the number of buffer pointers that
need to be tracked. Also, it allows usage of the sizeof() macro for
the buffer sizes, rather than expecting certain sized buffers being
passed in.
Note that since the output buffer for normal consoles is now
CONSOLE_EXT_LOG_MAX instead of CONSOLE_LOG_MAX, multi-line
messages that may have been previously truncated will now be
printed in full. This should be considered a feature and not a bug
since the CONSOLE_LOG_MAX restriction was about limiting static
buffer usage rather than limiting printed text.

The size limit macros are located further down in printk.c and
behind ifdef conditionals. This complicates their usage for
upcoming changes. Move the macros into internal.h so that they
are still invisible outside of printk, but easily accessible
for printk.
Also, the maximum size of formatted extended messages does not
need to be known by any code outside of printk, so move it to
internal.h as well. And like CONSOLE_LOG_MAX, for !CONFIG_PRINTK
set CONSOLE_EXT_LOG_MAX to 0 to reduce the static memory
footprint.

With commit 9e124fe16ff2("xen: Enable console tty by default in domU
if it's not a dummy") a hack was implemented to make sure that the
tty console remains the console behind the /dev/console device. The
main problem with the hack is that, after getting the console pointer
to the tty console, it is assumed the pointer is still valid after
releasing the console_sem. This assumption is incorrect and unsafe.
Make the hack safe by introducing a new function
console_force_preferred_locked() and perform the full operation
under the console_list_lock.
