Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek: - Allow creaing nbcon console drivers with an unsafe write_atomic() callback that can only be called by the final nbcon_atomic_flush_unsafe(). Otherwise, the driver would rely on the kthread. It is going to be used as the-best-effort approach for an experimental nbcon netconsole driver, see https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251121-nbcon-v1-2-503d17b2b4af@debian.org Note that a safe .write_atomic() callback is supposed to work in NMI context. But some networking drivers are not safe even in IRQ context: https://lore.kernel.org/r/oc46gdpmmlly5o44obvmoatfqo5bhpgv7pabpvb6sjuqioymcg@gjsma3ghoz35 In an ideal world, all networking drivers would be fixed first and the atomic flush would be blocked only in NMI context. But it brings the question how reliable networking drivers are when the system is in a bad state. They might block flushing more reliable serial consoles which are more suitable for serious debugging anyway. - Allow to use the last 4 bytes of the printk ring buffer. - Prevent queuing IRQ work and block printk kthreads when consoles are suspended. Otherwise, they create non-necessary churn or even block the suspend. - Release console_lock() between each record in the kthread used for legacy consoles on RT. It might significantly speed up the boot. - Release nbcon context between each record in the atomic flush. It prevents stalls of the related printk kthread after it has lost the ownership in the middle of a record - Add support for NBCON consoles into KDB - Add %ptsP modifier for printing struct timespec64 and use it where possible - Misc code clean up * tag 'printk-for-6.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux: (48 commits) printk: Use console_is_usable on console_unblank arch: um: kmsg_dump: Use console_is_usable drivers: serial: kgdboc: Drop checks for CON_ENABLED and CON_BOOT lib/vsprintf: Unify FORMAT_STATE_NUM handlers printk: Avoid irq_work for printk_deferred() on suspend printk: Avoid scheduling irq_work on suspend printk: Allow printk_trigger_flush() to flush all types tracing: Switch to use %ptSp scsi: snic: Switch to use %ptSp scsi: fnic: Switch to use %ptSp s390/dasd: Switch to use %ptSp ptp: ocp: Switch to use %ptSp pps: Switch to use %ptSp PCI: epf-test: Switch to use %ptSp net: dsa: sja1105: Switch to use %ptSp mmc: mmc_test: Switch to use %ptSp media: av7110: Switch to use %ptSp ipmi: Switch to use %ptSp igb: Switch to use %ptSp e1000e: Switch to use %ptSp ...

pps: fix warning in pps_register_cdev when register device fail

2025-09-06T14:00:40+00:00

Similar to previous commit 2a934fdb01db ("media: v4l2-dev: fix error handling in __video_register_device()"), the release hook should be set before device_register(). Otherwise, when device_register() return error and put_device() try to callback the release function, the below warning may happen. ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 4760 at drivers/base/core.c:2567 device_release+0x1bd/0x240 drivers/base/core.c:2567 Modules linked in: CPU: 1 UID: 0 PID: 4760 Comm: syz.4.914 Not tainted 6.17.0-rc3+ #1 NONE RIP: 0010:device_release+0x1bd/0x240 drivers/base/core.c:2567 Call Trace: kobject_cleanup+0x136/0x410 lib/kobject.c:689 kobject_release lib/kobject.c:720 [inline] kref_put include/linux/kref.h:65 [inline] kobject_put+0xe9/0x130 lib/kobject.c:737 put_device+0x24/0x30 drivers/base/core.c:3797 pps_register_cdev+0x2da/0x370 drivers/pps/pps.c:402 pps_register_source+0x2f6/0x480 drivers/pps/kapi.c:108 pps_tty_open+0x190/0x310 drivers/pps/clients/pps-ldisc.c:57 tty_ldisc_open+0xa7/0x120 drivers/tty/tty_ldisc.c:432 tty_set_ldisc+0x333/0x780 drivers/tty/tty_ldisc.c:563 tiocsetd drivers/tty/tty_io.c:2429 [inline] tty_ioctl+0x5d1/0x1700 drivers/tty/tty_io.c:2728 vfs_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:51 [inline] __do_sys_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:598 [inline] __se_sys_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:584 [inline] __x64_sys_ioctl+0x194/0x210 fs/ioctl.c:584 do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:63 [inline] do_syscall_64+0x5f/0x2a0 arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:94 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e Before commit c79a39dc8d06 ("pps: Fix a use-after-free"), pps_register_cdev() call device_create() to create pps->dev, which will init dev->release to device_create_release().

pps: fix poll support

2025-07-01T10:29:29+00:00

Because pps_cdev_poll() returns unconditionally EPOLLIN, a user space program that calls select/poll get always an immediate data ready-to-read response. As a result the intended use to wait until next data becomes ready does not work. User space snippet: struct pollfd pollfd = { .fd = open("/dev/pps0", O_RDONLY), .events = POLLIN|POLLERR, .revents = 0 }; while(1) { poll(&pollfd, 1, 2000/*ms*/); // returns immediate, but should wait if(revents & EPOLLIN) { // always true struct pps_fdata fdata; memset(&fdata, 0, sizeof(memdata)); ioctl(PPS_FETCH, &fdata); // currently fetches data at max speed } } Lets remember the last fetch event counter and compare this value in pps_cdev_poll() with most recent event counter and return 0 if they are equal.

pps: clients: gpio: fix interrupt handling order in remove path

2025-07-01T10:29:24+00:00

The interrupt handler in pps_gpio_probe() is registered after calling pps_register_source() using devm_request_irq(). However, in the corresponding remove function, pps_unregister_source() is called before the IRQ is freed, since devm-managed resources are released after the remove function completes. This creates a potential race condition where an interrupt may occur after the PPS source is unregistered but before the handler is removed, possibly leading to a kernel panic. To prevent this, switch from devm-managed IRQ registration to manual management by using request_irq() and calling free_irq() explicitly in the remove path before unregistering the PPS source. This ensures the interrupt handler is safely removed before deactivating the PPS source.
