This taint flag will be set if the system has ever entered a softlockup
state. Similar to TAINT_WARN it is useful to know whether or not the
system has been in a softlockup state when debugging.

Add a "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" boot option to run kdump after
running panic_notifiers and dump kmsg. This can help rare situations
where kdump fails because of unstable crashed kernel or hardware failure
(memory corruption on critical data/code), or the 2nd kernel is already
broken by the 1st kernel (it's a broken behavior, but who can guarantee
that the "crashed" kernel works correctly?).
Usage: add "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" to kernel boot option.
Note that this actually increases risks of the failure of kdump. This
option should be set only if you worry about the rare case of kdump
failure rather than increasing the chance of success.

Users have reported being unable to trace non-signed modules loaded
within a kernel supporting module signature.
This is caused by tracepoint.c:tracepoint_module_coming() refusing to
take into account tracepoints sitting within force-loaded modules
(TAINT_FORCED_MODULE). The reason for this check, in the first place, is
that a force-loaded module may have a struct module incompatible with
the layout expected by the kernel, and can thus cause a kernel crash
upon forced load of that module on a kernel with CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS=y.
Tracepoints, however, specifically accept TAINT_OOT_MODULE and
TAINT_CRAP, since those modules do not lead to the "very likely system
crash" issue cited above for force-loaded modules.
With kernels having CONFIG_MODULE_SIG=y (signed modules), a non-signed
module is tainted re-using the TAINT_FORCED_MODULE taint flag.
Unfortunately, this means that Tracepoints treat that module as a
force-loaded module, and thus silently refuse to consider any tracepoint
within this module.
Since an unsigned module does not fit within the "very likely system
crash" category of tainting, add a new TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE taint flag
to specifically address this taint behavior, and accept those modules
within Tracepoints. We use the letter 'X' as a taint flag character for
a module being loaded that doesn't know how to sign its name (proposed
by Steven Rostedt).
Also add the missing 'O' entry to trace event show_module_flags() list
for the sake of completeness.

The panic_timeout value can be set via the command line option

sufficient when the panic occurs before we are able to set up
these values. Thus, add a CONFIG_PANIC_TIMEOUT so that we can
set the desired value from the .config.
The default panic_timeout value continues to be 0 - wait
forever. Also adds set_arch_panic_timeout(new_timeout,
arch_default_timeout), which is intended to be used by arches in
arch_setup(). The idea being that the new_timeout is only set if
the user hasn't changed from the arch_default_timeout.

These include:
New function trigger called "dump" and "cpudump" that will cause

The difference between "dump" and "cpudump" is that "dump" will dump

Another small enhancement is a new sysctl switch called "traceoff_on_warning"
which, when enabled, will disable tracing if any WARN_ON() is triggered.
This is useful if you want to debug what caused a warning and do not
want to risk losing your trace data by the ring buffer overwriting the

Add a traceoff_on_warning option in both the kernel command line as well
as a sysctl option. When set, any WARN*() function that is hit will cause
the tracing_on variable to be cleared, which disables writing to the
ring buffer.
This is useful especially when tracing a bug with function tracing. When
a warning is hit, the print caused by the warning can flood the trace with
the functions that producing the output for the warning. This can make the
resulting trace useless by either hiding where the bug happened, or worse,
by overflowing the buffer and losing the trace of the bug totally.

x86 and ia64 can acquire extra hardware identification information
from DMI and print it along with task dumps; however, the usage isn't
consistent.
* x86 show_regs() collects vendor, product and board strings and print
them out with PID, comm and utsname. Some of the information is
printed again later in the same dump.
* warn_slowpath_common() explicitly accesses the DMI board and prints
it out with "Hardware name:" label. This applies to both x86 and
ia64 but is irrelevant on all other archs.
* ia64 doesn't show DMI information on other non-WARN dumps.
This patch introduces arch-specific hardware description used by
dump_stack(). It can be set by calling dump_stack_set_arch_desc()
during boot and, if exists, printed out in a separate line with
"Hardware name:" label.
dmi_set_dump_stack_arch_desc() is added which sets arch-specific
description from DMI data. It uses dmi_ids_string[] which is set from
dmi_present() used for DMI debug message. It is superset of the
information x86 show_regs() is using. The function is called from x86
and ia64 boot code right after dmi_scan_machine().
This makes the explicit DMI handling in warn_slowpath_common()
unnecessary. Removed.
show_regs() isn't yet converted to use generic debug information
printing and this patch doesn't remove the duplicate DMI handling in
x86 show_regs(). The next patch will unify show_regs() handling and
remove the duplication.

panic_lock is meant to ensure that panic processing takes place only on
one cpu; if any of the other cpus encounter a panic, they will spin
waiting to be shut down.
However, this causes a regression in this scenario:
1. Cpu 0 encounters a panic and acquires the panic_lock
and proceeds with the panic processing.
2. There is an interrupt on cpu 0 that also encounters
an error condition and invokes panic.
3. This second invocation fails to acquire the panic_lock
and enters the infinite while loop in panic_smp_self_stop.
Thus all panic processing is stopped, and the cpu is stuck for eternity
in the while(1) inside panic_smp_self_stop.
To address this, disable local interrupts with local_irq_disable before
acquiring the panic_lock. This will prevent interrupt handlers from
executing during the panic processing, thus avoiding this particular
problem.

Commit 6e6f0a1f0f ("panic: don't print redundant backtraces on oops")
causes a regression where no stack trace will be printed at all for the
case where kernel code calls panic() directly while not processing an
oops, and of course there are 100's of instances of this type of call.
The original commit executed the check (!oops_in_progress), but this will
always be false because just before the dump_stack() there is a call to
bust_spinlocks(1), which does the following:
void __attribute__((weak)) bust_spinlocks(int yes)
{
if (yes) {
++oops_in_progress;
The proper way to resolve the problem that original commit tried to
solve is to avoid printing a stack dump from panic() when the either of
the following conditions is true:
1) TAINT_DIE has been set (this is done by oops_end())
This indicates and oops has already been printed.
2) oops_in_progress > 1
This guards against the rare case where panic() is invoked
a second time, or in between oops_begin() and oops_end()

When an oops causes a panic and panic prints another backtrace it's pretty
common to have the original oops data be scrolled away on a 80x50 screen.
The second backtrace is quite redundant and not needed anyways.
So don't print the panic backtrace when oops_in_progress is true.

When two CPUs call panic at the same time there is a possible race
condition that can stop kdump. The first CPU calls crash_kexec() and the
second CPU calls smp_send_stop() in panic() before crash_kexec() finished
on the first CPU. So the second CPU stops the first CPU and therefore
kdump fails:
1st CPU:
panic()->crash_kexec()->mutex_trylock(&kexec_mutex)-> do kdump
2nd CPU:
panic()->crash_kexec()->kexec_mutex already held by 1st CPU
->smp_send_stop()-> stop 1st CPU (stop kdump)
This patch fixes the problem by introducing a spinlock in panic that
allows only one CPU to process crash_kexec() and the subsequent panic
code.
All other CPUs call the weak function panic_smp_self_stop() that stops the
CPU itself. This function can be overloaded by architecture code. For
example "tile" can use their lower-power "nap" instruction for that.

We do want to allow lock debugging for GPL-compatible modules
that are not (yet) built in-tree. This was disabled as a
side-effect of commit 2449b8ba07
('module,bug: Add TAINT_OOT_MODULE flag for modules not built
in-tree'). Lock debug warnings now include taint flags, so
kernel developers should still be able to deflect warnings
caused by out-of-tree modules.
The TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE flag for non-GPL-compatible modules
will still disable lock debugging.

It's unlikely that TAINT_FIRMWARE_WORKAROUND causes false
lockdep messages, so do not disable lockdep in that case.
We still want to keep lockdep disabled in the
TAINT_OOT_MODULE case:
- bin-only modules can cause various instabilities in
their and in unrelated kernel code
- they are impossible to debug for kernel developers
- they also typically do not have the copyright license
permission to link to the GPL-ed lockdep code.

When a kernel BUG or oops occurs, ChromeOS intends to panic and
immediately reboot, with stacktrace and other messages preserved in RAM
across reboot.
But the longer we delay, the more likely the user is to poweroff and
lose the info.
panic_timeout (seconds before rebooting) is set by panic= boot option or
sysctl or /proc/sys/kernel/panic; but 0 means wait forever, so at
present we have to delay at least 1 second.
Let a negative number mean reboot immediately (with the small cosmetic
benefit of suppressing that newline-less "Rebooting in %d seconds.."
message).

Generic Hardware Error Source provides a way to report platform
hardware errors (such as that from chipset). It works in so called
"Firmware First" mode, that is, hardware errors are reported to
firmware firstly, then reported to Linux by firmware. This way, some
non-standard hardware error registers or non-standard hardware link
can be checked by firmware to produce more valuable hardware error
information for Linux.
This patch adds POLL/IRQ/NMI notification types support.
Because the memory area used to transfer hardware error information
from BIOS to Linux can be determined only in NMI, IRQ or timer
handler, but general ioremap can not be used in atomic context, so a
special version of atomic ioremap is implemented for that.
Known issue:
- Error information can not be printed for recoverable errors notified
via NMI, because printk is not NMI-safe. Will fix this via delay
printing to IRQ context via irq_work or make printk NMI-safe.
v2:
- adjust printk format per comments.

To keep panic_timeout accuracy when running under a hypervisor, the
current implementation only spins on long time (1 second) calls to mdelay.
That brings a good effect, but the problem is the keyboard LEDs don't
blink at all on that situation.
This patch changes to call to panic_blink_enter() between every mdelay and
keeps blinking in spite of long spin timer mode.
The time to call to mdelay is now 100ms. Even this change will keep
panic_timeout accuracy enough when running under a hypervisor.

Most distros turn the console verbosity down and that means a backtrace
after a panic never makes it to the console. I assume we haven't seen
this because a panic is often preceeded by an oops which will have called
console_verbose. There are however a lot of places we call panic
directly, and they are broken.
Use console_verbose like we do in the oops path to ensure a directly
called panic will print a backtrace.

WARN() is used in some places to report firmware or hardware bugs that
are then worked-around. These bugs do not affect the stability of the
kernel and should not set the flag for TAINT_WARN. To allow for this,
add WARN_TAINT() and WARN_TAINT_ONCE() macros that take a taint number
as argument.
Architectures that implement warnings using trap instructions instead
of calls to warn_slowpath_*() now implement __WARN_TAINT(taint)

I've had some complaints about panic_timeout being wildly innacurate on
shared processor PowerPC partitions (a 3 minute panic_timeout taking 30
minutes).
The problem is we loop on mdelay(1) and with a 1ms in 10ms hypervisor
timeslice each of these will take 10ms (ie 10x) longer. I expect other
platforms with shared processor hypervisors will see the same issue.
This patch keeps the old behaviour if we have a panic_blink (only keyboard
LEDs right now) and does 1 second mdelays if we don't.

crash_kexec gets called before kmsg_dump(KMSG_DUMP_OOPS) if
panic_on_oops is set, so the kernel log buffer is not stored
for this case.
This patch adds a KMSG_DUMP_KEXEC dump type which gets called
when crash_kexec() is invoked. To avoid getting double dumps,
the old KMSG_DUMP_PANIC is moved below crash_kexec(). The
mtdoops driver is modified to handle KMSG_DUMP_KEXEC in the
same way as a panic.

Ian Campbell noticed that since "Eliminate thousands of warnings with
gcc 3.2 build" (commit 57adc4d2db) all
WARN_ON()'s currently appear to come from warn_slowpath_null(), eg:
WARNING: at kernel/softirq.c:143 warn_slowpath_null+0x1c/0x20()
because now that warn_slowpath_null() is in the call path, the
__builtin_return_address(0) returns that, rather than the place that
caused the warning.
Fix this by splitting up the warn_slowpath_null/fmt cases differently,
using a common helper function, and getting the return address in the
right place. This also happens to avoid the unnecessary stack usage for
the non-stdargs case, and just generally cleans things up.
Make the function name printout use %pS while at it.

Impact: broaden lockdep checks
Lockdep is disabled after any kernel taints. This might be convenient
to ignore bad locking issues which sources come from outside the kernel
tree. Nevertheless, it might be a frustrating experience for the
staging developers or those who experience a warning but are focused
on another things that require lockdep.
The v2 of this patch simply don't disable anymore lockdep in case
of TAINT_CRAP and TAINT_WARN events.

Impact: provide useful missing info for developers
Kernel taint can occur in several situations such as warnings,
load of prorietary or staging modules, bad page, etc...
But when such taint happens, a developer might still be working on
the kernel, expecting that lockdep is still enabled. But a taint
disables lockdep without ever warning about it.
Such a kernel behaviour doesn't really help for kernel development.
This patch adds this missing warning.
Since the taint is done most of the time after the main message that
explain the real source issue, it seems safe to warn about it inside
add_taint() so that it appears at last, without hurting the main
information.
v2: Use a generic helper to disable lockdep instead of an
open coded xchg().
