Several mutexes are taken while setting up console serial ports. In
particular, the tty_port->mutex and @console_mutex are taken:
serial_pnp_probe
serial8250_register_8250_port
uart_add_one_port (locks tty_port->mutex)
uart_configure_port
register_console (locks @console_mutex)
In order to synchronize kgdb's tty_find_polling_driver() with
register_console(), commit 6193bc90849a ("tty: serial: kgdboc:
synchronize tty_find_polling_driver() and register_console()") takes
the @console_mutex. However, this leads to the following call chain
(with locking):
platform_probe
kgdboc_probe
configure_kgdboc (locks @console_mutex)
tty_find_polling_driver
uart_poll_init (locks tty_port->mutex)
uart_set_options
This is clearly deadlock potential due to the reverse lock ordering.
Since uart_set_options() requires holding @console_mutex in order to
serialize early initialization of the serial-console lock, take the
@console_mutex in uart_poll_init() instead of configure_kgdboc().
Since configure_kgdboc() was using @console_mutex for safe traversal
of the console list, change it to use the SRCU iterator instead.
Add comments to uart_set_options() kerneldoc mentioning that it
requires holding @console_mutex (aka the console_list_lock).

When setting up the early console, the setup() callback of the
regular console is used. It is called manually before registering
the early console instead of providing a setup() callback for the
early console. This is probably because the early setup needs a
different @options during the early stage.
The issue here is that the setup() callback is called without the
console_list_lock held and functions such as uart_set_options()
expect that.
Rather than manually calling the setup() function before registering,
provide an early console setup() callback that will use the different
early options. This ensures that the error checking, ordering, and
locking context when setting up the early console are correct.
Since this early console can only be registered via the earlyprintk=
parameter, the @options argument of the setup() callback will always
be NULL. Rather than simply ignoring the argument, add a WARN_ON()
to get our attention in case the setup() callback semantics should
change in the future.
Note that technically the current implementation works because it is
only used in early boot. And since the early console setup is
performed before registering, it cannot race with anything and thus
does not need any locking. However, longterm maintenance is easier
when drivers rely on the subsystem API rather than manually
implementing steps that could cause breakage in the future.

register_console()
Calling tty_find_polling_driver() can lead to uart_set_options() being
called (via the poll_init() callback of tty_operations) to configure the
uart. But uart_set_options() can also be called by register_console()
(via the setup() callback of console).
Take the console_list_lock to synchronize against register_console() and
also use it for console list traversal. This also ensures the console list
cannot change until the polling console has been chosen.

With commit 9e124fe16ff2("xen: Enable console tty by default in domU
if it's not a dummy") a hack was implemented to make sure that the
tty console remains the console behind the /dev/console device. The
main problem with the hack is that, after getting the console pointer
to the tty console, it is assumed the pointer is still valid after
releasing the console_sem. This assumption is incorrect and unsafe.
Make the hack safe by introducing a new function
console_force_preferred_locked() and perform the full operation
under the console_list_lock.

Currently there exist races in register_console(), where the types
of registered consoles are checked (without holding the console_lock)
and then after acquiring the console_lock, it is assumed that the list
has not changed. Also, some code that performs console_unregister()
make similar assumptions.
It might be possible to fix these races using the console_lock. But
it would require a complex analysis of all console drivers to make
sure that the console_lock is not taken in match() and setup()
callbacks. And we really prefer to split up and reduce the
responsibilities of console_lock rather than expand its complexity.
Therefore, introduce a new console_list_lock to provide full
synchronization for any console list changes.
In addition, also use console_list_lock for synchronization of
console->flags updates. All flags are either static or modified only
during the console registration. There are only two exceptions.
The first exception is CON_ENABLED, which is also modified by
console_start()/console_stop(). Therefore, these functions must
also take the console_list_lock.
The second exception is when the flags are modified by the console
driver init code before the console is registered. These will be
ignored because they are not visible to the rest of the system
via the console_drivers list.
Note that one of the various responsibilities of the console_lock is
also intended to provide console list and console->flags
synchronization. Later changes will update call sites relying on the
console_lock for these purposes. Once all call sites have been
updated, the console_lock will be relieved of synchronizing
console_list and console->flags updates.

The initial intention of the UML kmsg_dumper is to dump the kernel
buffers to stdout if there is no console available to perform the
regular crash output.
However, if ttynull was registered as a console, no crash output was
seen. Commit e23fe90dec28 ("um: kmsg_dumper: always dump when not tty
console") tried to fix this by performing the kmsg_dump unless the
stdio console was behind /dev/console or enabled. But this allowed
kmsg dumping to occur even if other non-stdio consoles will output
the crash output. Also, a console being the driver behind
/dev/console has nothing to do with a crash scenario.
Restore the initial intention by dumping the kernel buffers to stdout
only if a non-ttynull console is registered and enabled. Also add
detailed comments so that it is clear why these rules are applied.

It used to be that all consoles were synchronized with respect to
which message they were printing. After commit a699449bb13b ("printk:
refactor and rework printing logic"), all consoles have their own
@seq for tracking which message they are on. That commit also changed
how the initial sequence number was chosen. Instead of choosing the
next non-printed message, it chose the sequence number of the next
message that will be added to the ringbuffer.
That change created a possibility that a non-boot console taking over
for a boot console might skip messages if the boot console was behind
and did not have a chance to catch up before being unregistered.
Since it is not known which boot console is the same device, flush
all consoles and, if necessary, start with the message of the enabled
boot console that is the furthest behind. If no boot consoles are
enabled, begin with the next message that will be added to the
ringbuffer.
Also, since boot consoles are meant to be used at boot time, handle
them the same as CON_PRINTBUFFER to ensure that no initial messages
are skipped.

Kernels configured with CONFIG_PRINTK=n and CONFIG_SRCU=n get build

that there are more than 25 instances of "select SRCU" in the kernel,
it is hard to believe that there are many kernels running in production
without SRCU. This commit therefore makes SRCU mandatory. The SRCU
Kconfig option remains for backwards compatibility, and will be removed
when it is no longer used.

Using the NMI-unsafe reader API from within an NMI handler is very likely
to be buggy for three reasons:
1) NMIs aren't strictly re-entrant (a pending nested NMI will execute at
the end of the current one) so it should be fine to use a non-atomic
increment here. However, breakpoints can still interrupt NMIs and if
a breakpoint callback has a reader on that same ssp, a racy increment
can happen.
2) If the only reader site for a given srcu_struct structure is in an
NMI handler, then RCU should be used instead of SRCU.
3) Because of the previous reason (2), an srcu_struct structure having
an SRCU read side critical section in an NMI handler is likely to
have another one from a task context.
For all these reasons, warn if an NMI-unsafe reader API is used from an
NMI handler.

The s390 architecture uses either a cmpxchg loop (old systems)
or the laa add-to-memory instruction (new systems) to implement
this_cpu_add(), both of which are NMI safe. This means that the old
and more-efficient srcu_read_lock() may be used in NMI context, without
the need for srcu_read_lock_nmisafe(). Therefore, add the new Kconfig
option ARCH_HAS_NMI_SAFE_THIS_CPU_OPS to arch/s390/Kconfig, which will
cause NEED_SRCU_NMI_SAFE to be deselected, thus preserving the current
srcu_read_lock() behavior.

The loongarch architecture uses the atomic read-modify-write
amadd instruction to implement this_cpu_add(), which is NMI safe.
This means that the old and more-efficient srcu_read_lock() may be
used in NMI context, without the need for srcu_read_lock_nmisafe().
Therefore, add the new Kconfig option ARCH_HAS_NMI_SAFE_THIS_CPU_OPS
to arch/loongarch/Kconfig, which will cause NEED_SRCU_NMI_SAFE to be
deselected, thus preserving the current srcu_read_lock() behavior.
