print_hex_dump_bytes() claims to be a simple wrapper around
print_hex_dump(), but it actally calls print_hex_dump_debug(), which
means no output is printed if (dynamic) DEBUG is disabled.
Update the documentation to match the implementation.

The helper this_cpu_in_panic() duplicated logic already provided by
panic_on_this_cpu().
Remove this_cpu_in_panic() and switch all users to panic_on_this_cpu().
This simplifies the code and avoids having two helpers for the same check.

Introduce FORCE_CON flag to printk. The new flag will make it possible to
create a context where printk messages will never be suppressed.
This mechanism will be used in the next patch to create a force_con
context on sysrq handling, removing an existing workaround on the
loglevel global variable. The workaround existed to make sure that sysrq
header messages were sent to all consoles, but this doesn't work with
deferred messages because the loglevel might be restored to its original
value before a console flushes the messages.

If legacy and nbcon consoles are registered and the nbcon
consoles are allowed to flush (i.e. no boot consoles
registered), the legacy consoles will no longer perform
direct printing on the panic CPU until after the backtrace
has been stored. This will give the safe nbcon consoles a
chance to print the panic messages before allowing the
unsafe legacy consoles to print.
If no nbcon consoles are registered or they are not allowed
to flush because boot consoles are registered, there is no
change in behavior (i.e. legacy consoles will always attempt
to print from the printk() caller context).

Add nbcon_atomic_flush_unsafe() to flush all nbcon consoles
using the write_atomic() callback and allowing unsafe hostile
takeovers. Call this at the end of panic() as a final attempt
to flush any pending messages.
Note that legacy consoles use unsafe methods for flushing
from the beginning of panic (see bust_spinlocks()). Therefore,
systems using both legacy and nbcon consoles may still fail to
see panic messages due to unsafe legacy console usage.

Provide functions nbcon_device_try_acquire() and
nbcon_device_release() which will try to acquire the nbcon
console ownership with NBCON_PRIO_NORMAL and mark it unsafe for
handover/takeover.
These functions are to be used together with the device-specific
locking when performing non-printing activities on the console
device. They will allow synchronization against the
atomic_write() callback which will be serialized, for higher
priority contexts, only by acquiring the console context
ownership.
Pitfalls:
The API requires to be called in a context with migration
disabled because it uses per-CPU variables internally.
The context is set unsafe for a takeover all the time. It
guarantees full serialization against any atomic_write() caller
except for the final flush in panic() which might try an unsafe
takeover.

Let's add match_devname_and_update_preferred_console() for driver
subsystems to call during init when the console is ready, and it's
character device name is known. For now, we use it only for the serial
layer to allow console=DEVNAME:0.0 style hardware based addressing for
consoles.
The earlier attempt on doing this caused a regression with the kernel
command line console order as it added calling __add_preferred_console()
again later on during init. A better approach was suggested by Petr where
we add the deferred console to the console_cmdline[] and update it later
on when the console is ready.

Cleanup some deprecated uses of strncpy() and strcpy() [1].
There doesn't seem to be any bugs with the current code but the
readability of this code could benefit from a quick makeover while
removing some deprecated stuff as a benefit.
The most interesting replacement made in this patch involves
concatenating "ttyS" with a digit-led user-supplied string. Instead of
doing two distinct string copies with carefully managed offsets and
lengths, let's use the more robust and self-explanatory scnprintf().
scnprintf will 1) respect the bounds of @buf, 2) null-terminate @buf, 3)
do the concatenation. This allows us to drop the manual NUL-byte assignment.
Also, since isdigit() is used about a dozen lines after the open-coded
version we'll replace it for uniformity's sake.
All the strcpy() --> strscpy() replacements are trivial as the source
strings are literals and much smaller than the destination size. No
behavioral change here.
Use the new 2-argument version of strscpy() introduced in Commit
e6584c3964f2f ("string: Allow 2-argument strscpy()"). However, to make
this work fully (since the size must be known at compile time), also
update the extern-qualified declaration to have the proper size
information.

Add a generic function console_replay_all() for replaying
the kernel log on consoles, in any context. It would allow
viewing the logs on an unresponsive terminal via sysrq.
Reuse the existing code from console_flush_on_panic() for
resetting the sequence numbers, by introducing a new helper
function __console_rewind_all(). It is safe to be called
under console_lock().
Try to acquire lock on the console subsystem without waiting.
If successful, reset the sequence number to oldest available
record on all consoles and call console_unlock() which will
automatically flush the messages to the consoles.

Driver subsystems may need to translate the preferred console name to the
character device name used. We already do some of this in console_setup()
with a few hardcoded names, but that does not scale well.
The console options are parsed early in console_setup(), and the consoles
are added with __add_preferred_console(). At this point we don't know much
about the character device names and device drivers getting probed.
To allow driver subsystems to set up a preferred console, let's save the
kernel command line console options. To add a preferred console from a
driver subsystem with optional character device name translation, let's
add a new function add_preferred_console_match().
This allows the serial core layer to support console=DEVNAME:0.0 style
hardware based addressing in addition to the current console=ttyS0 style
naming. And we can start moving console_setup() character device parsing
to the driver subsystem specific code.
We use a separate array from the console_cmdline array as the character
device name and index may be unknown at the console_setup() time. And
eventually there's no need to call __add_preferred_console() until the
subsystem is ready to handle the console.
Adding the console name in addition to the character device name, and a
flag for an added console, could be added to the struct console_cmdline.
And the console_cmdline array handling could be modified accordingly. But
that complicates things compared saving the console options, and then
adding the consoles when the subsystems handling the consoles are ready.

When printk-indexing is enabled, each printk() invocation emits a
pi_entry structure, containing the format string and other information
related to its location in the kernel sources. This is even true for
no_printk(): while the actual code to print the message is optimized out
by the compiler due to the always-false check, the pi_entry structure is
still emitted.
As the main purpose of no_printk() is to provide a helper to maintain
printf()-style format checking when debugging is disabled, this leads to
the inclusion in the index of lots of printk formats that cannot be
emitted by the current kernel.
Fix this by switching no_printk() from printk() to _printk().
This reduces the size of an arm64 defconfig kernel with
CONFIG_PRINTK_INDEX=y by 576 KiB.

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().

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.

This reverts commit 2bb2b7b57f81255c13f4395ea911d6bdc70c9fe2.
The testing of 5.19 release candidates revealed missing synchronization
between early and regular console functionality.
It would be possible to start the console kthreads later as a workaround.
But it is clear that console lock serialized console drivers between
each other. It opens a big area of possible problems that were not
considered by people involved in the development and review.
printk() is crucial for debugging kernel issues and console output is
very important part of it. The number of consoles is huge and a proper
review would take some time. As a result it need to be reverted for 5.19.

between early and regular console functionality.
It would be possible to start the console kthreads later as a workaround.
But it is clear that console lock serialized console drivers between
each other. It opens a big area of possible problems that were not
considered by people involved in the development and review.
printk() is crucial for debugging kernel issues and console output is
very important part of it. The number of consoles is huge and a proper
review would take some time. As a result it need to be reverted for 5.19.

There are reports that the console kthreads block the global console
lock when the system is going down, for example, reboot, panic.
First part of the solution was to block kthreads in these problematic
system states so they stopped handling newly added messages.
Second part of the solution is to wait when for the kthreads when
they are actively printing. It solves the problem when a message
was printed before the system entered the problematic state and
the kthreads managed to step in.
A busy waiting has to be used because panic() can be called in any
context and in an unknown state of the scheduler.
There must be a timeout because the kthread might get stuck or sleeping
and never release the lock. The timeout 10s is an arbitrary value
inspired by the softlockup timeout.

An inclusion of cache.h in printk.h was added in 2014 in commit
c28aa1f0a847 ("printk/cache: mark printk_once test variable
__read_mostly") in order to bring in the definition of __read_mostly. The
usage of __read_mostly was later removed in commit 3ec25826ae33 ("printk:
Tie printk_once / printk_deferred_once into .data.once for reset") which
made the inclusion of cache.h unnecessary, so remove it.
We have a small amount of code that depended on the inclusion of cache.h
from printk.h; fix that code to include the appropriate header.
This fixes a circular inclusion on arm64 (linux/printk.h -> linux/cache.h
-> asm/cache.h -> linux/kasan-enabled.h -> linux/static_key.h ->
linux/jump_label.h -> linux/bug.h -> asm/bug.h -> linux/printk.h) that
would otherwise be introduced by the next patch.
Build tested using {allyesconfig,defconfig} x {arm64,x86_64}.

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.

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.

printk from NMI context relies on irq work being raised on the local CPU
to print to console. This can be a problem if the NMI was raised by a
lockup detector to print lockup stack and regs, because the CPU may not
enable irqs (because it is locked up).
Introduce printk_trigger_flush() that can be called another CPU to try
to get those messages to the console, call that where printk_safe_flush
was previously called.

console_verbose() increases console loglevel to
CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_MOTORMOUTH, which provides more information
to debug a panic/oops.
Unfortunately, in Arista we maintain some DUTs (Device Under Test) that
are configured to have 9600 baud rate. While verbose console messages
have their value to post-analyze crashes, on such setup they:
- may prevent panic/oops messages being printed
- take too long to flush on console resulting in watchdog reboot
In all our setups we use kdump which saves dmesg buffer after panic,
so in reality those extra messages on console provide no additional value,
but rather add risk of not getting to __crash_kexec().
Provide printk.console_no_auto_verbose boot parameter, which allows
to switch off printk being verbose on oops/panic/lockdep.

All NMI contexts are handled the same as the safe context: store the
message and defer printing. There is no need to have special NMI
context tracking for this. Using in_nmi() is enough.
There are several parts of the kernel that are manually calling into
the printk NMI context tracking in order to cause general printk
deferred printing:
arch/arm/kernel/smp.c
arch/powerpc/kexec/crash.c
kernel/trace/trace.c
For arm/kernel/smp.c and powerpc/kexec/crash.c, provide a new
function pair printk_deferred_enter/exit that explicitly achieves the
same objective.
For ftrace, remove the printk context manipulation completely. It was
added in commit 03fc7f9c99c1 ("printk/nmi: Prevent deadlock when
accessing the main log buffer in NMI"). The purpose was to enforce
storing messages directly into the ring buffer even in NMI context.
It really should have only modified the behavior in NMI context.
There is no need for a special behavior any longer. All messages are
always stored directly now. The console deferring is handled
transparently in vprintk().

With @logbuf_lock removed, the high level printk functions for
storing messages are lockless. Messages can be stored from any
context, so there is no need for the NMI and safe buffers anymore.
Remove the NMI and safe buffers.
Although the safe buffers are removed, the NMI and safe context
tracking is still in place. In these contexts, store the message
immediately but still use irq_work to defer the console printing.
Since printk recursion tracking is in place, safe context tracking
for most of printk is not needed. Remove it. Only safe context
tracking relating to the console and console_owner locks is left
in place. This is because the console and console_owner locks are
needed for the actual printing.
