 * DOC: printk_ringbuffer overview
 *
 * Data Structure
 * --------------
 * The printk_ringbuffer is made up of 3 internal ringbuffers:
 *
 *   desc_ring
 *     A ring of descriptors. A descriptor contains all record meta data
 *     (sequence number, timestamp, loglevel, etc.) as well as internal state
 *     information about the record and logical positions specifying where in
 *     the other ringbuffers the text and dictionary strings are located.
 *
 *   text_data_ring
 *     A ring of data blocks. A data block consists of an unsigned long
 *     integer (ID) that maps to a desc_ring index followed by the text
 *     string of the record.
 *
 *   dict_data_ring
 *     A ring of data blocks. A data block consists of an unsigned long
 *     integer (ID) that maps to a desc_ring index followed by the dictionary
 *     string of the record.
 *
 * The internal state information of a descriptor is the key element to allow
 * readers and writers to locklessly synchronize access to the data.
 *
 * Implementation
 * --------------
 *
 * Descriptor Ring
 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 * The descriptor ring is an array of descriptors. A descriptor contains all
 * the meta data of a printk record as well as blk_lpos structs pointing to
 * associated text and dictionary data blocks (see "Data Rings" below). Each
 * descriptor is assigned an ID that maps directly to index values of the
 * descriptor array and has a state. The ID and the state are bitwise combined
 * into a single descriptor field named @state_var, allowing ID and state to
 * be synchronously and atomically updated.
 *
 * Descriptors have three states:
 *
 *   reserved
 *     A writer is modifying the record.
 *
 *   committed
 *     The record and all its data are complete and available for reading.
 *
 *   reusable
 *     The record exists, but its text and/or dictionary data may no longer
 *     be available.
 *
 * Querying the @state_var of a record requires providing the ID of the
 * descriptor to query. This can yield a possible fourth (pseudo) state:
 *
 *   miss
 *     The descriptor being queried has an unexpected ID.
 *
 * The descriptor ring has a @tail_id that contains the ID of the oldest
 * descriptor and @head_id that contains the ID of the newest descriptor.
 *
 * When a new descriptor should be created (and the ring is full), the tail
 * descriptor is invalidated by first transitioning to the reusable state and
 * then invalidating all tail data blocks up to and including the data blocks
 * associated with the tail descriptor (for text and dictionary rings). Then
 * @tail_id is advanced, followed by advancing @head_id. And finally the
 * @state_var of the new descriptor is initialized to the new ID and reserved
 * state.
 *
 * The @tail_id can only be advanced if the new @tail_id would be in the
 * committed or reusable queried state. This makes it possible that a valid
 * sequence number of the tail is always available.
 *
 * Data Rings
 * ~~~~~~~~~~
 * The two data rings (text and dictionary) function identically. They exist
 * separately so that their buffer sizes can be individually set and they do
 * not affect one another.
 *
 * Data rings are byte arrays composed of data blocks. Data blocks are
 * referenced by blk_lpos structs that point to the logical position of the
 * beginning of a data block and the beginning of the next adjacent data
 * block. Logical positions are mapped directly to index values of the byte
 * array ringbuffer.
 *
 * Each data block consists of an ID followed by the writer data. The ID is
 * the identifier of a descriptor that is associated with the data block. A
 * given data block is considered valid if all of the following conditions
 * are met:
 *
 *   1) The descriptor associated with the data block is in the committed
 *      queried state.
 *
 *   2) The blk_lpos struct within the descriptor associated with the data
 *      block references back to the same data block.
 *
 *   3) The data block is within the head/tail logical position range.
 *
 * If the writer data of a data block would extend beyond the end of the
 * byte array, only the ID of the data block is stored at the logical
 * position and the full data block (ID and writer data) is stored at the
 * beginning of the byte array. The referencing blk_lpos will point to the
 * ID before the wrap and the next data block will be at the logical
 * position adjacent the full data block after the wrap.
 *
 * Data rings have a @tail_lpos that points to the beginning of the oldest
 * data block and a @head_lpos that points to the logical position of the
 * next (not yet existing) data block.
 *
 * When a new data block should be created (and the ring is full), tail data
 * blocks will first be invalidated by putting their associated descriptors
 * into the reusable state and then pushing the @tail_lpos forward beyond
 * them. Then the @head_lpos is pushed forward and is associated with a new
 * descriptor. If a data block is not valid, the @tail_lpos cannot be
 * advanced beyond it.
 *
 * Usage
 * -----
 * Here are some simple examples demonstrating writers and readers. For the
 * examples a global ringbuffer (test_rb) is available (which is not the
 * actual ringbuffer used by printk)::
 *
 *	DEFINE_PRINTKRB(test_rb, 15, 5, 3);
 *
 * This ringbuffer allows up to 32768 records (2 ^ 15) and has a size of
 * 1 MiB (2 ^ (15 + 5)) for text data and 256 KiB (2 ^ (15 + 3)) for
 * dictionary data.
 *
 * Sample writer code::
 *
 *	const char *dictstr = "dictionary text";
 *	const char *textstr = "message text";
 *	struct prb_reserved_entry e;
 *	struct printk_record r;
 *
 *	// specify how much to allocate
 *	prb_rec_init_wr(&r, strlen(textstr) + 1, strlen(dictstr) + 1);
 *
 *	if (prb_reserve(&e, &test_rb, &r)) {
 *		snprintf(r.text_buf, r.text_buf_size, "%s", textstr);
 *
 *		// dictionary allocation may have failed
 *		if (r.dict_buf)
 *			snprintf(r.dict_buf, r.dict_buf_size, "%s", dictstr);
 *
 *		r.info->ts_nsec = local_clock();
 *
 *		prb_commit(&e);
 *	}
 *
 * Sample reader code::
 *
 *	struct printk_info info;
 *	struct printk_record r;
 *	char text_buf[32];
 *	char dict_buf[32];
 *	u64 seq;
 *
 *	prb_rec_init_rd(&r, &info, &text_buf[0], sizeof(text_buf),
 *			&dict_buf[0], sizeof(dict_buf));
 *
 *	prb_for_each_record(0, &test_rb, &seq, &r) {
 *		if (info.seq != seq)
 *			pr_warn("lost %llu records\n", info.seq - seq);
 *
 *		if (info.text_len > r.text_buf_size) {
 *			pr_warn("record %llu text truncated\n", info.seq);
 *			text_buf[r.text_buf_size - 1] = 0;
 *		}
 *
 *		if (info.dict_len > r.dict_buf_size) {
 *			pr_warn("record %llu dict truncated\n", info.seq);
 *			dict_buf[r.dict_buf_size - 1] = 0;
 *		}
 *
 *		pr_info("%llu: %llu: %s;%s\n", info.seq, info.ts_nsec,
 *			&text_buf[0], info.dict_len ? &dict_buf[0] : "");
 *	}
 *
 * Note that additional less convenient reader functions are available to
 * allow complex record access.
 *
 * ABA Issues
 * ~~~~~~~~~~
 * To help avoid ABA issues, descriptors are referenced by IDs (array index
 * values combined with tagged bits counting array wraps) and data blocks are
 * referenced by logical positions (array index values combined with tagged
 * bits counting array wraps). However, on 32-bit systems the number of
 * tagged bits is relatively small such that an ABA incident is (at least
 * theoretically) possible. For example, if 4 million maximally sized (1KiB)
 * printk messages were to occur in NMI context on a 32-bit system, the
 * interrupted context would not be able to recognize that the 32-bit integer
 * completely wrapped and thus represents a different data block than the one
 * the interrupted context expects.
 *
 * To help combat this possibility, additional state checking is performed
 * (such as using cmpxchg() even though set() would suffice). These extra
 * checks are commented as such and will hopefully catch any ABA issue that
 * a 32-bit system might experience.
 *
 * Memory Barriers
 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 * Multiple memory barriers are used. To simplify proving correctness and
 * generating litmus tests, lines of code related to memory barriers
 * (loads, stores, and the associated memory barriers) are labeled::
 *
 *	LMM(function:letter)
 *
 * Comments reference the labels using only the "function:letter" part.
 *
 * The memory barrier pairs and their ordering are:
 *
 *   desc_reserve:D / desc_reserve:B
 *     push descriptor tail (id), then push descriptor head (id)
 *
 *   desc_reserve:D / data_push_tail:B
 *     push data tail (lpos), then set new descriptor reserved (state)
 *
 *   desc_reserve:D / desc_push_tail:C
 *     push descriptor tail (id), then set new descriptor reserved (state)
 *
 *   desc_reserve:D / prb_first_seq:C
 *     push descriptor tail (id), then set new descriptor reserved (state)
 *
 *   desc_reserve:F / desc_read:D
 *     set new descriptor id and reserved (state), then allow writer changes
 *
 *   data_alloc:A / desc_read:D
 *     set old descriptor reusable (state), then modify new data block area
 *
 *   data_alloc:A / data_push_tail:B
 *     push data tail (lpos), then modify new data block area
 *
 *   prb_commit:B / desc_read:B
 *     store writer changes, then set new descriptor committed (state)
 *
 *   data_push_tail:D / data_push_tail:A
 *     set descriptor reusable (state), then push data tail (lpos)
 *
 *   desc_push_tail:B / desc_reserve:D
 *     set descriptor reusable (state), then push descriptor tail (id)
