kernel/panic: add verbose logging of kernel taints in backtraces

2024-06-25T05:25:05+00:00

With nearly 20 taint flags and respective characters, it's getting a bit difficult to remember what each taint flag character means. Add verbose logging of the set taints in the format: Tainted: [P]=PROPRIETARY_MODULE, [W]=WARN in dump_stack_print_info() when there are taints. Note that the "negative flag" G is not included.

sched_ext: Print sched_ext info when dumping stack

2024-06-18T20:09:18+00:00

It would be useful to see what the sched_ext scheduler state is, and what scheduler is running, when we're dumping a task's stack. This patch therefore adds a new print_scx_info() function that's called in the same context as print_worker_info() and print_stop_info(). An example dump follows. BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000999 #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page PGD 0 P4D 0 Oops: 0002 [#1] PREEMPT SMP CPU: 13 PID: 2047 Comm: insmod Tainted: G O 6.6.0-work-10323-gb58d4cae8e99-dirty #34 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS unknown 2/2/2022 Sched_ext: qmap (enabled+all), task: runnable_at=-17ms RIP: 0010:init_module+0x9/0x1000 [test_module] ... v3: - scx_ops_enable_state_str[] definition moved to an earlier patch as it's now used by core implementation. - Convert jiffy delta to msecs using jiffies_to_msecs() instead of multiplying by (HZ / MSEC_PER_SEC).

dump_stack: Do not get cpu_sync for panic CPU

2024-02-07T16:23:19+00:00

dump_stack() is called in panic(). If for some reason another CPU is holding the printk_cpu_sync and is unable to release it, the panic CPU will be unable to continue and print the stacktrace. Since non-panic CPUs are not allowed to store new printk messages anyway, there is no need to synchronize the stacktrace output in a panic situation. For the panic CPU, do not get the printk_cpu_sync because it is not needed and avoids a potential deadlock scenario in panic().

printk: rename cpulock functions

2022-04-22T19:30:57+00:00

Since the printk cpulock is CPU-reentrant and since it is used in all contexts, its usage must be carefully considered and most likely will require programming locklessly. To avoid mistaking the printk cpulock as a typical lock, rename it to cpu_sync. The main functions then become: printk_cpu_sync_get_irqsave(flags); printk_cpu_sync_put_irqrestore(flags); Add extra notes of caution in the function description to help developers understand the requirements for correct usage.

dump_stack: add vmlinux build ID to stack traces

2021-07-08T18:48:22+00:00

Add the running kernel's build ID[1] to the stacktrace information header. This makes it simpler for developers to locate the vmlinux with full debuginfo for a particular kernel stacktrace. Combined with scripts/decode_stracktrace.sh, a developer can download the correct vmlinux from a debuginfod[2] server and find the exact file and line number for the functions plus offsets in a stacktrace. This is especially useful for pstore crash debugging where the kernel crashes are recorded in the pstore logs and the recovery kernel is different or the debuginfo doesn't exist on the device due to space concerns (the data can be large and a security concern). The stacktrace can be analyzed after the crash by using the build ID to find the matching vmlinux and understand where in the function something went wrong. Example stacktrace from lkdtm: WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 3255 at drivers/misc/lkdtm/bugs.c:83 lkdtm_WARNING+0x28/0x30 [lkdtm] Modules linked in: lkdtm rfcomm algif_hash algif_skcipher af_alg xt_cgroup uinput xt_MASQUERADE CPU: 4 PID: 3255 Comm: bash Not tainted 5.11 #3 aa23f7a1231c229de205662d5a9e0d4c580f19a1 Hardware name: Google Lazor (rev3+) with KB Backlight (DT) pstate: 00400009 (nzcv daif +PAN -UAO -TCO BTYPE=--) pc : lkdtm_WARNING+0x28/0x30 [lkdtm] The hex string aa23f7a1231c229de205662d5a9e0d4c580f19a1 is the build ID, following the kernel version number. Put it all behind a config option, STACKTRACE_BUILD_ID, so that kernel developers can remove this information if they decide it is too much.

printk: introduce dump_stack_lvl()

2021-06-29T17:53:52+00:00

dump_stack() is used for many different cases, which may require a log level consistent with other kernel messages surrounding the dump_stack() call. Without that, certain systems that are configured to ignore the default level messages will miss stack traces in critical error reports. This patch introduces dump_stack_lvl() that behaves similarly to dump_stack(), but accepts a custom log level. The old dump_stack() becomes equal to dump_stack_lvl(KERN_DEFAULT). A somewhat similar patch has been proposed in 2012: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1332493269.2359.9.camel@hebo/ , but wasn't merged.
