[ Upstream commit e3a33af812c611d99756e2ec61e9d7068d466bdf ]

Due to dropped inclusion of asm-generic/xor.h, xor_block_8regs symbol is
missing with CONFIG64 and break compilation, as the asm/xor_64.h also did
not include it. The patch recreate the logic from arch/x86, which check
whether AVX is available and add fallbacks for 32bit and 64bit config of
um.

A very minor additional "fix" is, the return of the macro parameter
instead of NULL, as this is the original intent of the macro, but
this does not change the actual behavior.

The function names init_registers() and restore_registers() are used
in several net/ethernet/ and gpu/drm/ drivers for other purposes (not
calls to UML functions), so rename them.

This fixes multiple build errors.

[ Upstream commit bbe33504d4a7fdab9011211e55e262c869b3f6cc ]

Rename set_signals() as there's at least one driver that
uses the same name and can now be built on UM due to PCI
support, and thus we can get symbol conflicts.

Also rename set_signals_trace() to be consistent.

Many places in the kernel use 'udelay' as an identifier, and
are broken with the current "#define udelay um_udelay". Fix
this by adding an argument to the macro, and do the same to
'ndelay' as well, just in case.

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:

 - Optionally, provide an index of possible printk messages via
   &lt;debugfs&gt;/printk/index/. It can be used when monitoring important
   kernel messages on a farm of various hosts. The monitor has to be
   updated when some messages has changed or are not longer available by
   a newly deployed kernel.

 - Add printk.console_no_auto_verbose boot parameter. It allows to
   generate crash dump even with slow consoles in a reasonable time
   frame.

 - Remove printk_safe buffers. The messages are always stored directly
   to the main logbuffer, even in NMI or recursive context. Also it
   allows to serialize syslog operations by a mutex instead of a spin
   lock.

 - Misc clean up and build fixes.

* tag 'printk-for-5.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux:

This is a preparation for changing over architectures to the
generic implementation one at a time. As there are no callers
of either __strncpy_from_user() or __strnlen_user(), fold these
into the strncpy_from_user() and strnlen_user() functions to make
each implementation independent of the others.

Many of these implementations have known bugs, but the intention
here is to not change behavior at all and stay compatible with
those bugs for the moment.

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.radix-linux.su/BMC/Intel-BMC/linux.git/commit/?id=337015573718b161891a3473d25f59273f2e626b'/>
<id>urn:sha1:337015573718b161891a3473d25f59273f2e626b</id>
<content type='text'>
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
&lt;debugfs&gt;/printk/index/&lt;module&gt;, which emits the following format, both
readable by humans and able to be parsed by machines:

    $ head -1 vmlinux; shuf -n 5 vmlinux
    # &lt;level[,flags]&gt; filename:line function "format"
    &lt;5&gt; block/blk-settings.c:661 disk_stack_limits "%s: Warning: Device %s is misaligned\n"
    &lt;4&gt; kernel/trace/trace.c:8296 trace_create_file "Could not create tracefs '%s' entry\n"
    &lt;6&gt; arch/x86/kernel/hpet.c:144 _hpet_print_config "hpet: %s(%d):\n"
    &lt;6&gt; init/do_mounts.c:605 prepare_namespace "Waiting for root device %s...\n"
    &lt;6&gt; 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.
