Although syslog_seq and log_next_seq stuff are protected by logbuf_lock
spin log, it's not enough. Say we have two processes A and B, and let
syslog_seq = N, while log_next_seq = N + 1, and the two processes both
come to syslog_print at almost the same time. And No matter which
process get the spin lock first, it will increase syslog_seq by one,
then release spin lock; thus later, another process increase syslog_seq
by one again. In this case, syslog_seq is bigger than syslog_next_seq.
And latter, it would make:
wait_event_interruptiable(log_wait, syslog != log_next_seq)
don't wait any more even there is no new write comes. Thus it introduce
a infinite loop reading.
I can easily see this kind of issue by the following steps:
# cat /proc/kmsg # at meantime, I don't kill rsyslog
# So they are the two processes.
# xinit # I added drm.debug=6 in the kernel parameter line,
# so that it will produce lots of message and let that
# issue happen
It's 100% reproducable on my side. And my disk will be filled up by
/var/log/messages in a quite short time.
So, introduce a mutex_lock to stop syslog_seq from going wild just like
what devkmsg_read() does. It does fix this issue as expected.

Provide an iterator to receive the log buffer content, and convert all
kmsg_dump() users to it.
The structured data in the kmsg buffer now contains binary data, which
should no longer be copied verbatim to the kmsg_dump() users.
The iterator should provide reliable access to the buffer data, and also
supports proper log line-aware chunking of data while iterating.

Commit 7ff9554bb5, printk: convert
byte-buffer to variable-length record buffer, causes systems using
EABI to crash very early in the boot cycle. The first entry in struct
log is a u64, which for EABI must be 8 byte aligned.
Make use of __alignof__() so the compiler to decide the alignment, but
allow it to be overridden using CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS,
for systems which can perform unaligned access and want to save
a few bytes of space.

Arrange the continuation printk() buffering to be fully separated from the
ordinary full line users.
Limit the exposure to races and wrong printk() line merges to users of
continuation only. Ordinary full line users racing against continuation
users will no longer affect each other.
Multiple continuation users from different threads, racing against each
other will not wrongly be merged into a single line, but printed as
separate lines.
Test output of a kernel module which starts two separate threads which
race against each other, one of them printing a single full terminated
line:
printk("(AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA)\n");
The other one printing the line, every character separate in a
continuation loop:
printk("(C");
for (i = 0; i < 58; i++)
printk(KERN_CONT "C");
printk(KERN_CONT "C)\n");

Support for multiple concurrent readers of /dev/kmsg, with read(),
seek(), poll() support. Output of message sequence numbers, to allow
userspace log consumers to reliably reconnect and reconstruct their
state at any given time. After open("/dev/kmsg"), read() always
returns *all* buffered records. If only future messages should be
read, SEEK_END can be used. In case records get overwritten while
/dev/kmsg is held open, or records get faster overwritten than they
are read, the next read() will return -EPIPE and the current reading
position gets updated to the next available record. The passed
sequence numbers allow the log consumer to calculate the amount of
lost messages.

- Record-based stream instead of the traditional byte stream
buffer. All records carry a 64 bit timestamp, the syslog facility
and priority in the record header.
- Records consume almost the same amount, sometimes less memory than
the traditional byte stream buffer (if printk_time is enabled). The record
header is 16 bytes long, plus some padding bytes at the end if needed.
The byte-stream buffer needed 3 chars for the syslog prefix, 15 char for
the timestamp and a newline.
- Buffer management is based on message sequence numbers. When records
need to be discarded, the reading heads move on to the next full
record. Unlike the byte-stream buffer, no old logged lines get
truncated or partly overwritten by new ones. Sequence numbers also
allow consumers of the log stream to get notified if any message in
the stream they are about to read gets discarded during the time
of reading.
- Better buffered IO support for KERN_CONT continuation lines, when printk()
is called multiple times for a single line. The use of KERN_CONT is now
mandatory to use continuation; a few places in the kernel need trivial fixes
here. The buffering could possibly be extended to per-cpu variables to allow
better thread-safety for multiple printk() invocations for a single line.
- Full-featured syslog facility value support. Different facilities
can tag their messages. All userspace-injected messages enforce a
facility value > 0 now, to be able to reliably distinguish them from
the kernel-generated messages. Independent subsystems like a
baseband processor running its own firmware, or a kernel-related
userspace process can use their own unique facility values. Multiple
independent log streams can co-exist that way in the same
buffer. All share the same global sequence number counter to ensure
proper ordering (and interleaving) and to allow the consumers of the
log to reliably correlate the events from different facilities.

There's a few awkward printk()s inside of scheduler guts that people
prefer to keep but really are rather deadlock prone. Fudge around it
by storing the text in a per-cpu buffer and poll it using the existing
printk_tick() handler.
This will drop output when its more frequent than once a tick, however
only the affinity thing could possible go that fast and for that just
one should suffice to notify the admin he's done something silly..

Since commit 04c6862c05 ("kmsg_dump: add kmsg_dump() calls to the
reboot, halt, poweroff and emergency_restart paths"), kmsg_dump() gets
run on normal paths including poweroff and reboot.
This is less than ideal given pstore implementations that can only
represent single backtraces, since a reboot may overwrite a stored oops
before it's been picked up by userspace. In addition, some pstore
backends may have low performance and provide a significant delay in
reboot as a result.
This patch adds a printk.always_kmsg_dump kernel parameter (which can also
be changed from userspace). Without it, the code will only be run on
failure paths rather than on normal paths. The option can be enabled in
environments where there's a desire to attempt to audit whether or not a
reboot was cleanly requested or not.

With this patch, I am able to see more messages on the boot console in

I think it is appropriate for the relevant -stable trees. However, it's
more of an annoyance than a serious bug (ideally you don't need to keep
the boot console around as console handover should be working -- I was
encountering a situation where the console handover wasn't working and
not having the boot console available meant I couldn't see why).

syslog-ng versions before 3.3.0beta1 (2011-05-12) assume that

Commit ee24aebffb ("cap_syslog: accept CAP_SYS_ADMIN for now")
improved matters a little by making syslog-ng work again, just keeping
the WARN_ONCE(). But still, this is a warning that writes a stack trace
we don't care about to syslog, sets a taint flag, and alarms sysadmins
when nothing worse has happened than use of an old userspace with a
recent kernel.
Convert the WARN_ONCE to a printk_once to avoid that while continuing to
give userspace developers a hint that this is an unwanted
backward-compatibility feature and won't be around forever.

Release console_sem after unlocking the logbuf_lock so that we don't
generate wakeups while holding logbuf_lock. This avoids some lock

logbuf_lock and rq->lock (prints while holding rq->lock vs doing
wakeups while holding logbuf_lock).
There's of course still an actual deadlock where the printk()s under
rq->lock will issue a wakeup from the up() call, but lockdep won't
warn about that since semaphores are not tracked.

On larger systems, because of the numerous ACPI, Bootmem and EFI messages,
the static log buffer overflows before the larger one specified by the
log_buf_len param is allocated. Minimize the overflow by allocating the
new log buffer as soon as possible.
On kernels without memblock, a later call to setup_log_buf from
kernel/init.c is the fallback.

We've been burned by regressions/bugs which we later realized could have
been triaged quicker if only we'd paid closer attention to dmesg. To make
it easier to audit dmesg, we'd like to make DEFAULT_MESSAGE_LEVEL
Kconfig-settable. That way we can set it to KERN_NOTICE and audit any
messages <= KERN_WARNING.

For a platform with many consoles like:
"console=tty1 console=ttyMFD2 console=ttyS0 earlyprintk=mrst"
Each time when the non "selected_console" (tty1 and ttyMFD2 here) get
registered, the existing kernel message will be printed out on registered
consoles again, the "mrst" early console will get some same message for 3
times, and "tty1" will get some for twice.
As suggested by Andrew Morton, every time a new console is registered, it
will be set as the "exclusive" console which will dump the already
existing kernel messages.

On some architectures, the boot process involves de-registering the boot
console (early boot), initialize drivers and then re-register the console.
This mechanism introduces a window in which no printk can happen on the
console and messages are buffered and then printed once the new console is
available.
If a kernel crashes during this window, all it's left on the boot console
is "console [foo] enabled, bootconsole disabled" making debug of the crash
rather 'interesting'.
By adding "keep_bootcon" option, do not unregister the boot console, that
will allow to printk everything that is happening up to the crash.
The option is clearly meant only for debugging purposes as it introduces
lots of duplicated info printed on console, but will make bug report from
users easier as it doesn't require a kernel build just to figure out where
we crash.

printk: do not mangle valid userspace syslog prefixes with /dev/kmsg
Log messages passed to the kernel log by using /dev/kmsg or /dev/ttyprintk
might contain a syslog prefix including the syslog facility value.
This makes printk to recognize these headers properly, extract the real log
level from it to use, and add the prefix as a proper prefix to the
log buffer, instead of wrongly printing it as the log message text.
Before:
$ echo '<14>text' > /dev/kmsg
$ dmesg -r
<4>[135159.594810] <14>text
After:
$ echo '<14>text' > /dev/kmsg
$ dmesg -r
<14>[ 50.750654] text

In commit ce6ada35bd ("security: Define CAP_SYSLOG") Serge Hallyn
introduced CAP_SYSLOG, but broke backwards compatibility by no longer
accepting CAP_SYS_ADMIN as an override (it would cause a warning and
then reject the operation).
Re-instate CAP_SYS_ADMIN - but keeping the warning - as an acceptable
capability until any legacy applications have been updated. There are
apparently applications out there that drop all capabilities except for
CAP_SYS_ADMIN in order to access the syslog.
(This is a re-implementation of a patch by Serge, cleaning the logic up
and making the code more readable)

The -rt patches change the console_semaphore to console_mutex. As a
result, a quite large chunk of the patches changes all
acquire/release_console_sem() to acquire/release_console_mutex()
This commit makes things use more neutral function names which dont make
implications about the underlying lock.
The only real change is the return value of console_trylock which is
inverted from try_acquire_console_sem()
This patch also paves the way to switching console_sem from a semaphore to
a mutex.

dump_list_lock is used to protect dump_list in kmsg_dumper implementation,
kmsg_dump() uses it to traverse dump_list too. But if there is contention
on the lock, kmsg_dump() will fail, and the valuable kernel message may be
lost.
This patch solves this issue with RCU. Because kmsg_dump() only read the
list, no lock is needed in kmsg_dump(). So that kmsg_dump() will never
fail because of lock contention.

We need to know the reason why system rebooted in support service.
However, we can't inform our customers of the reason because final
messages are lost on current Linux kernel.
This patch improves the situation above because the final messages are
saved by adding kmsg_dump() to reboot, halt, poweroff and
emergency_restart path.
