From 099f1c84c0052ec1b27f1c3942eed5830d86bdbb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sergey Senozhatsky Date: Tue, 27 Dec 2016 23:16:06 +0900 Subject: printk: introduce per-cpu safe_print seq buffer This patch extends the idea of NMI per-cpu buffers to regions that may cause recursive printk() calls and possible deadlocks. Namely, printk() can't handle printk calls from schedule code or printk() calls from lock debugging code (spin_dump() for instance); because those may be called with `sem->lock' already taken or any other `critical' locks (p->pi_lock, etc.). An example of deadlock can be vprintk_emit() console_unlock() up() << raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&sem->lock, flags); wake_up_process() try_to_wake_up() ttwu_queue() ttwu_activate() activate_task() enqueue_task() enqueue_task_fair() cfs_rq_of() task_of() WARN_ON_ONCE(!entity_is_task(se)) vprintk_emit() console_trylock() down_trylock() raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&sem->lock, flags) ^^^^ deadlock and some other cases. Just like in NMI implementation, the solution uses a per-cpu `printk_func' pointer to 'redirect' printk() calls to a 'safe' callback, that store messages in a per-cpu buffer and flushes them back to logbuf buffer later. Usage example: printk() printk_safe_enter_irqsave(flags) // // any printk() call from here will endup in vprintk_safe(), // that stores messages in a special per-CPU buffer. // printk_safe_exit_irqrestore(flags) The 'redirection' mechanism, though, has been reworked, as suggested by Petr Mladek. Instead of using a per-cpu @print_func callback we now keep a per-cpu printk-context variable and call either default or nmi vprintk function depending on its value. printk_nmi_entrer/exit and printk_safe_enter/exit, thus, just set/celar corresponding bits in printk-context functions. The patch only adds printk_safe support, we don't use it yet.
