Adrien Schildknecht 04769ae3ac x86/kernel: Use kstack_end() in dumpstack_64.c
i386 is already using kstack_end() in dumpstack_32.c. We should also
use it to make the code clearer and unify the stack printing logic some
more.

Adrien Schildknecht 1fc7f61c3e x86/kernel: Fix output of show_stack_log_lvl()
show_stack_log_lvl() does not set the log level after a new line, the
following messages printed with pr_cont() are thus assigned to the
default log level.

This patch prepends the log level to the next message following a new
line.

print_trace_address() uses printk(log_lvl). Using printk() with just
a log level is ignored and thus has no effect on the next pr_cont().
We need to prepend the log level directly into the message.

Andy Lutomirski 6f442be2fb x86_64, traps: Stop using IST for #SS
On a 32-bit kernel, this has no effect, since there are no IST stacks.

On a 64-bit kernel, #SS can only happen in user code, on a failed iret
to user space, a canonical violation on access via RSP or RBP, or a
genuine stack segment violation in 32-bit kernel code.  The first two
cases don't need IST, and the latter two cases are unlikely fatal bugs,
and promoting them to double faults would be fine.

This fixes a bug in which the espfix64 code mishandles a stack segment
violation.

This saves 4k of memory per CPU and a tiny bit of code.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 63c95654d8 x86: Fix dumpstack_64 irq stack handling
Commit 2223f6f6ee "x86: Clean up dumpstack_64.c code" changed
the irq_stack processing a little from what it was before.
The irq_stack_end variable needed to be cleared after its first
use. By setting irq_stack to the per cpu irq_stack and passing
that to analyze_stack(), and then clearing it after it is processed,
we can get back the original behavior.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 1aabc5990d x86: Fix dumpstack_64 to keep state of "used" variable in loop
Commit 2223f6f6ee "x86: Clean up dumpstack_64.c code" moved the used
variable to a local within the loop, but the in_exception_stack()
depended on being non-volatile with the ability to change it.

By always re-initializing the "used" variable to zero, it would cause
the in_exception_stack() to return the same thing each time, and
cause the dump_stack loop to go into an infinite loop.

Steven Rostedt 2223f6f6ee x86: Clean up dumpstack_64.c code
The dump_trace() function in dumpstack_64.c is hard to follow.
The test for exception stack is processed differently than the
test for irq stack, and the normal stack is outside completely.

By restructuring this code to have all the stacks determined by
a single function that returns an enum of the following:

 STACK_IS_NORMAL
 STACK_IS_EXCEPTION
 STACK_IS_IRQ
 STACK_IS_UNKNOWN

and has the logic of each within a switch statement.
This should make the code much easier to read and understand.

Tejun Heo a43cb95d54 dump_stack: unify debug information printed by show_regs()
show_regs() is inherently arch-dependent but it does make sense to print
generic debug information and some archs already do albeit in slightly
different forms.  This patch introduces a generic function to print debug
information from show_regs() so that different archs print out the same
information and it's much easier to modify what's printed.

show_regs_print_info() prints out the same debug info as dump_stack()
does plus task and thread_info pointers.

* Archs which didn't print debug info now do.

  alpha, arc, blackfin, c6x, cris, frv, h8300, hexagon, ia64, m32r,
  metag, microblaze, mn10300, openrisc, parisc, score, sh64, sparc,
  um, xtensa

* Already prints debug info.  Replaced with show_regs_print_info().
  The printed information is superset of what used to be there.

  arm, arm64, avr32, mips, powerpc, sh32, tile, unicore32, x86

* s390 is special in that it used to print arch-specific information
  along with generic debug info.  Heiko and Martin think that the
  arch-specific extra isn't worth keeping s390 specfic implementation.
  Converted to use the generic version.

Note that now all archs print the debug info before actual register
dumps.

An example BUG() dump follows.

Jan Beulich 0fa0e2f02e x86: Move call to print_modules() out of show_regs()
Printing the list of loaded modules is really unrelated to what
this function is about, and is particularly unnecessary in the
context of the SysRQ key handling (gets printed so far over and
over).

It should really be the caller of the function to decide whether
this piece of information is useful (and to avoid redundantly
printing it).

 - Add pr_fmt where appropriate
 - Neaten some macro definitions
 - Convert some Ok output to OK
 - Use "%s: ", __func__ in pr_fmt for summit
 - Convert some printks to pr_<level>

Jan Beulich 57da8b960b x86: Avoid double stack traces with show_regs()
What was called show_registers() so far already showed a stack
trace for kernel faults, and kernel_stack_pointer() isn't even
valid to be used for faults from user mode, hence it was
pointless for show_regs() to call show_trace() after
show_registers().

Simply rename show_registers() to show_regs() and eliminate
the old definition.

Prarit Bhargava b0f4c4b32c bugs, x86: Fix printk levels for panic, softlockups and stack dumps
rsyslog will display KERN_EMERG messages on a connected
terminal.  However, these messages are useless/undecipherable
for a general user.

For example, after a softlockup we get:

 Message from syslogd@intel-s3e37-04 at Jan 25 14:18:06 ...
 kernel:Stack:

 Message from syslogd@intel-s3e37-04 at Jan 25 14:18:06 ...
 kernel:Call Trace:

 Message from syslogd@intel-s3e37-04 at Jan 25 14:18:06 ...
 kernel:Code: ff ff a8 08 75 25 31 d2 48 8d 86 38 e0 ff ff 48 89
 d1 0f 01 c8 0f ae f0 48 8b 86 38 e0 ff ff a8 08 75 08 b1 01 4c 89 e0 0f 01 c9 <e8> ea 69 dd ff 4c 29 e8 48 89 c7 e8 0f bc da ff 49 89 c4 49 89

This happens because the printk levels for these messages are
incorrect. Only an informational message should be displayed on
a terminal.

I modified the printk levels for various messages in the kernel
and tested the output by using the drivers/misc/lkdtm.c kernel
modules (ie, softlockups, panics, hard lockups, etc.) and
confirmed that the console output was still the same and that
the output to the terminals was correct.

For example, in the case of a softlockup we now see the much
more informative:

 Message from syslogd@intel-s3e37-04 at Jan 25 10:18:06 ...
 BUG: soft lockup - CPU4 stuck for 60s!

instead of the above confusing messages.

AFAICT, the messages no longer have to be KERN_EMERG.  In the
most important case of a panic we set console_verbose().  As for
the other less severe cases the correct data is output to the
console and /var/log/messages.

Successfully tested by me using the drivers/misc/lkdtm.c module.

Frederic Weisbecker a2bbe75089 x86: Don't use frame pointer to save old stack on irq entry
rbp is used in SAVE_ARGS_IRQ to save the old stack pointer
in order to restore it later in ret_from_intr.

It is convenient because we save its value in the irq regs
and it's easily restored using the leave instruction.

However this is a kind of abuse of the frame pointer which
role is to help unwinding the kernel by chaining frames
together, each node following the return address to the
previous frame.

But although we are breaking the frame by changing the stack
pointer, there is no preceding return address before the new
frame. Hence using the frame pointer to link the two stacks
breaks the stack unwinders that find a random value instead of
a return address here.

There is no workaround that can work in every case. We are using
the fixup_bp_irq_link() function to dereference that abused frame
pointer in the case of non nesting interrupt (which means stack
changed).
But that doesn't fix the case of interrupts that don't change the
stack (but we still have the unconditional frame link), which is
the case of hardirq interrupting softirq. We have no way to detect
this transition so the frame irq link is considered as a real frame
pointer and the return address is dereferenced but it is still a
spurious one.

There are two possible results of this: either the spurious return
address, a random stack value, luckily belongs to the kernel text
and then the unwinding can continue and we just have a weird entry
in the stack trace. Or it doesn't belong to the kernel text and
unwinding stops there.

This is the reason why stacktraces (including perf callchains) on
irqs that interrupted softirqs don't work very well.

To solve this, we don't save the old stack pointer on rbp anymore
but we save it to a scratch register that we push on the new
stack and that we pop back later on irq return.

This preserves the whole frame chain without spurious return addresses
in the middle and drops the need for the horrid fixup_bp_irq_link()
workaround.

And finally irqs that interrupt softirq are sanely unwinded.

Frederic Weisbecker 47ce11a2b6 x86: Fetch stack from regs when possible in dump_trace()
When regs are passed to dump_stack(), we fetch the frame
pointer from the regs but the stack pointer is taken from
the current frame.

Thus the frame and stack pointers may not come from the same
context. For example this can result in the unwinder to
think the context is in irq, due to the current value of
the stack, but the frame pointer coming from the regs points
to a frame from another place. It then tries to fix up
the irq link but ends up dereferencing a random frame
pointer that doesn't belong to the irq stack:

Namhyung Kim e8e999cf3c x86, dumpstack: Correct stack dump info when frame pointer is available
Current stack dump code scans entire stack and check each entry
contains a pointer to kernel code. If CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y it
could mark whether the pointer is valid or not based on value of
the frame pointer. Invalid entries could be preceded by '?' sign.

However this was not going to happen because scan start point
was always higher than the frame pointer so that they could not
meet.

Commit 9c0729dc80 ("x86: Eliminate bp argument from the stack
tracing routines") delayed bp acquisition point, so the bp was
read in lower frame, thus all of the entries were marked
invalid.

This patch fixes this by reverting above commit while retaining
stack_frame() helper as suggested by Frederic Weisbecker.

End result looks like below:

Jesper Juhl 2e5aa6824d x86-64: Don't use pointer to out-of-scope variable in dump_trace()
In arch/x86/kernel/dumpstack_64.c::dump_trace() we have this code:

...
  		if (!stack) {
  			unsigned long dummy;
  			stack = &dummy;
  			if (task && task != current)
  				stack = (unsigned long *)task->thread.sp;
  		}

  		bp = stack_frame(task, regs);
  		/*
  		 * Print function call entries in all stacks, starting at the
  		 * current stack address. If the stacks consist of nested
  		 * exceptions
  		 */
  		tinfo = task_thread_info(task);

  		for (;;) {
  			char *id;
  			unsigned long *estack_end;
  			estack_end = in_exception_stack(cpu, (unsigned long)stack,
  							&used, &id);
...

You'll notice that we assign to 'stack' the address of the variable
'dummy' which is only in-scope inside the 'if (!stack)'. So when we later
access stack (at the end of the above, and assuming we did not take the
'if (task && task != current)' branch) we'll be using the address of a
variable that is no longer in scope. I believe this patch is the proper
fix, but I freely admit that I'm not 100% certain.

Soeren Sandmann Pedersen 9c0729dc80 x86: Eliminate bp argument from the stack tracing routines
The various stack tracing routines take a 'bp' argument in which the
caller is supposed to provide the base pointer to use, or 0 if doesn't
have one. Since bp is garbage whenever CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not
defined, this means all callers in principle should either always pass
0, or be conditional on CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER.

However, there are only really three use cases for stack tracing:

(a) Trace the current task, including IRQ stack if any
(b) Trace the current task, but skip IRQ stack
(c) Trace some other task

In all cases, if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not defined, bp should just
be 0.  If it _is_ defined, then

- in case (a) bp should be gotten directly from the CPU's register, so
  the caller should pass NULL for regs,

- in case (b) the caller should should pass the IRQ registers to
  dump_trace(),

- in case (c) bp should be gotten from the top of the task's stack, so
  the caller should pass NULL for regs.

Hence, the bp argument is not necessary because the combination of
task and regs is sufficient to determine an appropriate value for bp.

This patch introduces a new inline function stack_frame(task, regs)
that computes the desired bp. This function is then called from the
two versions of dump_stack().

Jiri Slaby e4072a9a9d x86, printk: Get rid of <0> from stack output
The stack output currently looks like this:

 7fffffffffffffff 0000000a00000000 ffffffff81093341 0000000000000046
<0> ffff88003a545fd8 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00007fffa39769c0
<0> ffff88003e403f58 ffffffff8102fc4c ffff88003e403f58 ffff88003e403f78

The superfluous <0> are caused by recent printk KERN_CONT
change. <*> is now ignored in printk unless some text follows
the level and even then it still has to be the first in the
format message.

Note that the log_lvl parameter is now completely ignored in
show_stack_log_lvl and the stack is dumped with the default
level (like for quite some time already). It behaves the same as
the rest of the dump, function traces are dumped in the very
same manner. Only Code and maybe some lines are printed with
EMERG level.

Unfortunately I see no way how to fix this conceptually to have
the whole oops/BUG/panic output with the same level, so this
removed only the superfluous characters for the time being.

Just for illustration:

<4>Process kworker/0:0 (pid: 0, threadinfo ffff88003c8a6000, task ffff88003c85c100)
<0>Stack:

arch/x86/include/asm/stacktrace.h and arch/x86/kernel/dumpstack.h

Actually most of the files that include stacktrace.h also include
dumpstack.h

Although dumpstack.h seems more reserved for internals of stack
traces, those are quite often needed to define specialized stack
trace operations. And perf event arch headers are going to need
access to such low level operations anyway. So don't continue to
bother with dumpstack.h as it's not anymore about isolated deep
internals.

Frederic Weisbecker 29044ad150 x86/stacktrace: Don't dereference bad frame pointers
Callers of a stacktrace might pass bad frame pointers. Those
are usually checked for safety in stack walking helpers before
any dereferencing, but this is not the case when we need to go
through one more frame pointer that backlinks the irq stack to
the previous one, as we don't have any reliable address boudaries
to compare this frame pointer against.

This raises crashes when we record callchains for ftrace events
with perf because we don't use the right helpers to capture
registers there. We get wrong frame pointers as we call
task_pt_regs() even on kernel threads, which is a wrong thing
as it gives us the initial state of any kernel threads freshly
created. This is even not what we want for user tasks. What we want
is a hot snapshot of registers when the ftrace event triggers, not
the state before a task entered the kernel.

This requires more thoughts to do it correctly though.
So first put a guardian to ensure the given frame pointer
can be dereferenced to avoid crashes. We'll think about how to fix
the callers in a subsequent patch.

Frederic Weisbecker 61c1917f47 perf events, x86/stacktrace: Make stack walking optional
The current print_context_stack helper that does the stack
walking job is good for usual stacktraces as it walks through
all the stack and reports even addresses that look unreliable,
which is nice when we don't have frame pointers for example.

But we have users like perf that only require reliable
stacktraces, and those may want a more adapted stack walker, so
lets make this function a callback in stacktrace_ops that users
can tune for their needs.

Frederic Weisbecker af2d8289f5 x86: Fixup wrong irq frame link in stacktraces
When we enter in irq, two things can happen to preserve the link
to the previous frame pointer:

- If we were in an irq already, we don't switch to the irq stack
  as we are inside. We just need to save the previous frame
  pointer and to link the new one to the previous.

- Otherwise we need another level of indirection. We enter the irq with
  the previous stack. We save the previous bp inside and make bp
  pointing to its saved address. Then we switch to the irq stack and
  push bp another time but to the new stack. This makes two levels to
  dereference instead of one.

In the second case, the current stacktrace code omits the second level
and loses the frame pointer accuracy. The stack that follows will then
be considered as unreliable.

Handling that makes the perf callchain happier.

Note: This does not only affect perf events but also x86-64
stacktraces. They were considered as unreliable once we quit
the irq stack frame.

Happens because on preempt-RCU, khungd calls show_stack() with
preemption enabled.

Make sure we are not preemptible while walking the IRQ and exception
stacks on 64-bit. (32-bit stack dumping is preemption safe.)

      is_boot_cpu and early irq_stack_ptr initialization.

Steven Rostedt 7ee991fbc6 ftrace: print real return in dumpstack for function graph
Impact: better dumpstack output

I noticed in my crash dumps and even in the stack tracer that a
lot of functions listed in the stack trace are simply
return_to_handler which is ftrace graphs way to insert its own
call into the return of a function.

But we lose out where the actually function was called from.

This patch adds in hooks to the dumpstack mechanism that detects
this and finds the real function to print. Both are printed to
let the user know that a hook is still in place.

This does give a funny side effect in the stack tracer output:

        Depth   Size      Location    (80 entries)
        -----   ----      --------
  0)     4144      48   save_stack_trace+0x2f/0x4d
  1)     4096     128   ftrace_call+0x5/0x2b
  2)     3968      16   mempool_alloc_slab+0x16/0x18
  3)     3952     384   return_to_handler+0x0/0x73
  4)     3568    -240   stack_trace_call+0x11d/0x209
  5)     3808     144   return_to_handler+0x0/0x73
  6)     3664    -128   mempool_alloc+0x4d/0xfe
  7)     3792     128   return_to_handler+0x0/0x73
  8)     3664     -32   scsi_sg_alloc+0x48/0x4a [scsi_mod]

As you can see, the real functions are now negative. This is due
to them not being found inside the stack.

Neil Horman 878719e831 x86: unify appropriate bits from dumpstack_32 and dumpstack_64
Impact: cleanup

As promised, now that dumpstack_32 and dumpstack_64 have so many bits
in common, we should merge the in-sync bits into a common file, to
prevent them from diverging again.

This patch removes bits which are common between dumpstack_32.c and
dumpstack_64.c and places them in a common dumpstack.c which is built
for both 32 and 64 bit arches.

Whitespace-only changes on x86_64, to make it equal to i386's
version.

Alexander van Heukelum 10b14cb7eb x86, dumpstack: always call oops_exit from oops_end
Always call oops_exit from oops_end, even if signr==0.

Also, move add_taint(TAINT_DIE) from __die to oops_end
on x86_64 and interchange two lines to make oops_end
more similar to the i386-version.

Alexander van Heukelum 0ed7a498f4 x86_64, dumpstack: move kexec_crash from __die to oops_end
oops_end is preceded by either a call to __die, or a conditional
call to crash_kexec. Move the conditional call to crash_kexec
from the end of __die to the start of oops_end and remove
the superfluous call to crash_kexec in die_nmi.

Alexander van Heukelum 874d93d118 x86, dumpstack: let signr=0 signal no do_exit
Change oops_end such that signr=0 signals that do_exit
is not to be called.

Currently, each use of __die is soon followed by a call
to oops_end and 'regs' is set to NULL if oops_end is expected
not to call do_exit. Change all such pairs to set signr=0
instead. On x86_64 oops_end is used 'bare' in die_nmi; use
signr=0 instead of regs=NULL there, too.

Andrew Morton ae87221d3c sysfs: crash debugging
Print the name of the last-accessed sysfs file when we oops, to help track
down oopses which occur in sysfs store/read handlers.  Because these oopses
tend to not leave any trace of the offending code in the stack traces.

Alexander van Heukelum 6a2ae2d9f9 dumpstack: x86: various small unification steps, fix
After "dumpstack: x86: various small unification steps", the
assembler gives the following compile error. The error is in
dumpstack_64.c.

{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:720: Error: Incorrect register `%rbx' used with `l' suffix
{standard input}:1340: Error: Incorrect register `%r12' used with `l' suffix

Indeed the suffix in get_bp() was wrong.

- define STACKSLOTS_PER_LINE and use it
 - define get_bp macro to hide the %%ebp/%%rbp difference
 - i386: check task==NULL in dump_trace, like x86_64
 - i386: show_trace(NULL, ...) uses current automatically
 - x86_64: use [#%d] for die_counter, like i386
 - whitespace and comments

- i386 and x86_64: always printk the 'data' parameter
 - i386: announce stack switch (irq -> normal)
 - i386: check if there is a stack switch before announcing it

There is a warning that 'context' might come out corrupt in early
boot. If this is true it should be fixed, not worked around.
