"This consists of several fixes and an important feature to discourage
running KUnit tests on production systems. Running tests on a

Most in-kernel tests (such as KUnit tests) are not supposed to run on
production systems: they may do deliberately illegal things to trigger
errors, and have security implications (for example, KUnit assertions
will often deliberately leak kernel addresses).
Add a new taint type, TAINT_TEST to signal that a test has been run.
This will be printed as 'N' (originally for kuNit, as every other
sensible letter was taken.)
This should discourage people from running these tests on production
systems, and to make it easier to tell if tests have been run
accidentally (by loading the wrong configuration, etc.)

This reverts commit 2bb2b7b57f81255c13f4395ea911d6bdc70c9fe2.
The testing of 5.19 release candidates revealed missing synchronization
between early and regular console functionality.
It would be possible to start the console kthreads later as a workaround.
But it is clear that console lock serialized console drivers between
each other. It opens a big area of possible problems that were not
considered by people involved in the development and review.
printk() is crucial for debugging kernel issues and console output is
very important part of it. The number of consoles is huge and a proper
review would take some time. As a result it need to be reverted for 5.19.

There are reports that the console kthreads block the global console
lock when the system is going down, for example, reboot, panic.
First part of the solution was to block kthreads in these problematic
system states so they stopped handling newly added messages.
Second part of the solution is to wait when for the kthreads when
they are actively printing. It solves the problem when a message
was printed before the system entered the problematic state and
the kthreads managed to step in.
A busy waiting has to be used because panic() can be called in any
context and in an unknown state of the scheduler.
There must be a timeout because the kthread might get stuck or sleeping
and never release the lock. The timeout 10s is an arbitrary value
inspired by the softlockup timeout.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux
Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
- Offload writing printk() messages on consoles to per-console
kthreads.
It prevents soft-lockups when an extensive amount of messages is
printed. It was observed, for example, during boot of large systems
with a lot of peripherals like disks or network interfaces.
It prevents live-lockups that were observed, for example, when
messages about allocation failures were reported and a CPU handled
consoles instead of reclaiming the memory. It was hard to solve even
with rate limiting because it would need to take into account the
amount of messages and the speed of all consoles.
It is a must to have for real time. Otherwise, any printk() might
break latency guarantees.
The per-console kthreads allow to handle each console on its own
speed. Slow consoles do not longer slow down faster ones. And
printk() does not longer unpredictably slows down various code paths.
There are situations when the kthreads are either not available or
not reliable, for example, early boot, suspend, or panic. In these
situations, printk() uses the legacy mode and tries to handle
consoles immediately.
- Add documentation for the printk index.

Once kthread printing is available, console printing will no longer
occur in the context of the printk caller. However, there are some
special contexts where it is desirable for the printk caller to
directly print out kernel messages. Using pr_flush() to wait for
threaded printers is only possible if the caller is in a sleepable
context and the kthreads are active. That is not always the case.
Introduce printk_prefer_direct_enter() and printk_prefer_direct_exit()
functions to explicitly (and globally) activate/deactivate preferred
direct console printing. The term "direct console printing" refers to
printing to all enabled consoles from the context of the printk
caller. The term "prefer" is used because this type of printing is
only best effort. If the console is currently locked or other
printers are already actively printing, the printk caller will need
to rely on the other contexts to handle the printing.
This preferred direct printing is how all printing has been handled
until now (unless it was explicitly deferred).
When kthread printing is introduced, there may be some unanticipated
problems due to kthreads being unable to flush important messages.
In order to minimize such risks, preferred direct printing is
activated for the primary important messages when the system
experiences general types of major errors. These are:
- emergency reboot/shutdown
- cpu and rcu stalls
- hard and soft lockups
- hung tasks
- warn
- sysrq
Note that since kthread printing does not yet exist, no behavior
changes result from this commit. This is only implementing the
counter and marking the various places where preferred direct
printing is active.

kernel/sysctl.c is a kitchen sink where everyone leaves their dirty
dishes, this makes it very difficult to maintain.
To help with this maintenance let's start by moving sysctls to places
where they actually belong. The proc sysctl maintainers do not want to
know what sysctl knobs you wish to add for your own piece of code, we
just care about the core logic.
All filesystem syctls now get reviewed by fs folks. This commit

The panic_print setting allows users to collect more information in a
panic event, like memory stats, tasks, CPUs backtraces, etc. This is an
interesting debug mechanism, but currently the print event happens *after*
kmsg_dump(), meaning that pstore, for example, cannot collect a dmesg with
the panic_print extra information.
This patch changes that in 2 steps:
(a) The panic_print setting allows to replay the existing kernel log
buffer to the console (bit 5), besides the extra information dump.
This functionality makes sense only at the end of the panic()
function. So, we hereby allow to distinguish the two situations by a
new boolean parameter in the function panic_print_sys_info().
(b) With the above change, we can safely call panic_print_sys_info()
before kmsg_dump(), allowing to dump the extra information when using
pstore or other kmsg dumpers.
The additional messages from panic_print could overwrite the oldest
messages when the buffer is full. The only reasonable solution is to use
a large enough log buffer, hence we added an advice into the kernel
parameters documentation about that.

Currently the "panic_print" parameter/sysctl allows some interesting debug
information to be printed during a panic event. This is useful for
example in cases the user cannot kdump due to resource limits, or if the
user collects panic logs in a serial output (or pstore) and prefers a fast
reboot instead of a kdump.
Happens that currently there's no way to see all CPUs backtraces in a
panic using "panic_print" on architectures that support that. We do have
"oops_all_cpu_backtrace" sysctl, but although partially overlapping in the
functionality, they are orthogonal in nature: "panic_print" is a panic
tuning (and we have panics without oopses, like direct calls to panic() or
maybe other paths that don't go through oops_enter() function), and the
original purpose of "oops_all_cpu_backtrace" is to provide more
information on oopses for cases in which the users desire to continue
running the kernel even after an oops, i.e., used in non-panic scenarios.
So, we hereby introduce an additional bit for "panic_print" to allow
dumping the CPUs backtraces during a panic event.

In the current code, the following three places need to unset

kernel/kcsan/report.c: print_report()
kernel/sched/core.c: __schedule_bug()
mm/kfence/report.c: kfence_report_error()
In order to avoid copy-pasting "panic_on_warn = 0" all over the places,
it is better to move it inside panic() and then remove it from the other
places.

The oops id has been added as part of the end of trace marker for the
kerneloops.org project. The id is used to automatically identify
duplicate submissions of the same report. Identical looking reports
with different a id can be considered as the same oops occurred again.
The early initialisation of the oops_id can create a warning if the
random core is not yet fully initialized. On PREEMPT_RT it is
problematic if the id is initialized on demand from non preemptible
context.
The kernel oops project is not available since 2017. Remove the oops_id
and use 0 in the output in case parser rely on it.

With @logbuf_lock removed, the high level printk functions for
storing messages are lockless. Messages can be stored from any
context, so there is no need for the NMI and safe buffers anymore.
Remove the NMI and safe buffers.
Although the safe buffers are removed, the NMI and safe context
tracking is still in place. In these contexts, store the message
immediately but still use irq_work to defer the console printing.
Since printk recursion tracking is in place, safe context tracking
for most of printk is not needed. Remove it. Only safe context
tracking relating to the console and console_owner locks is left
in place. This is because the console and console_owner locks are
needed for the actual printing.

kernel.h is being used as a dump for all kinds of stuff for a long time.
Here is the attempt to start cleaning it up by splitting out panic and
oops helpers.
There are several purposes of doing this:
- dropping dependency in bug.h
- dropping a loop by moving out panic_notifier.h
- unload kernel.h from something which has its own domain
At the same time convert users tree-wide to use new headers, although for
the time being include new header back to kernel.h to avoid twisted
indirected includes for existing users.

Currently we print stack and registers for ordinary warnings but we do not
for panic_on_warn which looks as oversight - panic() will reboot the
machine but won't print registers.
This moves printing of registers and modules earlier.
This does not move the stack dumping as panic() dumps it.

Usually when the kernel reaches an oops condition, it's a point of no
return; in case not enough debug information is available in the kernel
splat, one of the last resorts would be to collect a kernel crash dump
and analyze it. The problem with this approach is that in order to
collect the dump, a panic is required (to kexec-load the crash kernel).
When in an environment of multiple virtual machines, users may prefer to
try living with the oops, at least until being able to properly shutdown
their VMs / finish their important tasks.
This patch implements a way to collect a bit more debug details when an
oops event is reached, by printing all the CPUs backtraces through the
usage of NMIs (on architectures that support that). The sysctl added
(and documented) here was called "oops_all_cpu_backtrace", and when set
will (as the name suggests) dump all CPUs backtraces.
Far from ideal, this may be the last option though for users that for
some reason cannot panic on oops. Most of times oopses are clear enough
to indicate the kernel portion that must be investigated, but in virtual
environments it's possible to observe hypervisor/KVM issues that could
lead to oopses shown in other guests CPUs (like virtual APIC crashes).
This patch hence aims to help debug such complex issues without
resorting to kdump.

Analogously to the introduction of panic_on_warn, this patch introduces
a kernel option named panic_on_taint in order to provide a simple and
generic way to stop execution and catch a coredump when the kernel gets
tainted by any given flag.
This is useful for debugging sessions as it avoids having to rebuild the
kernel to explicitly add calls to panic() into the code sites that
introduce the taint flags of interest.
For instance, if one is interested in proceeding with a post-mortem
analysis at the point a given code path is hitting a bad page (i.e.
unaccount_page_cache_page(), or slab_bug()), a coredump can be collected
by rebooting the kernel with 'panic_on_taint=0x20' amended to the
command line.
Another, perhaps less frequent, use for this option would be as a means
for assuring a security policy case where only a subset of taints, or no
single taint (in paranoid mode), is allowed for the running system. The
optional switch 'nousertaint' is handy in this particular scenario, as
it will avoid userspace induced crashes by writes to sysctl interface
/proc/sys/kernel/tainted causing false positive hits for such policies.

Calling 'panic()' on a kernel with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y can leave the
calling CPU in an infinite loop, but with interrupts and preemption
enabled. From this state, userspace can continue to be scheduled,
despite the system being "dead" as far as the kernel is concerned.
This is easily reproducible on arm64 when booting with "nosmp" on the
command line; a couple of shell scripts print out a periodic "Ping"
message whilst another triggers a crash by writing to
/proc/sysrq-trigger:
| sysrq: Trigger a crash

The issue can also be triggered on x86 kernels if CONFIG_SMP=n,
otherwise local interrupts are disabled in 'smp_send_stop()'.

In preparation for cleaning up "cut here", move the "cut here" logic up
out of __warn() and into callers that pass non-NULL args. For anyone
looking closely, there are two callers that pass NULL args: one already
explicitly prints "cut here". The remaining case is covered by how a WARN
is built, which will be cleaned up in the next patch.

Patch series "Clean up WARN() "cut here" handling", v2.
Christophe Leroy noticed that the fix for missing "cut here" in the WARN()
case was adding explicit printk() calls instead of teaching the exception
handler to add it. This refactors the bug/warn infrastructure to pass
this information as a new BUGFLAG.
Longer details repeated from the last patch in the series:
bug: move WARN_ON() "cut here" into exception handler
The original cleanup of "cut here" missed the WARN_ON() case (that does
not have a printk message), which was fixed recently by adding an explicit
printk of "cut here". This had the downside of adding a printk() to every
WARN_ON() caller, which reduces the utility of using an instruction
exception to streamline the resulting code. By making this a new BUGFLAG,
all of these can be removed and "cut here" can be handled by the exception
handler.
This was very pronounced on PowerPC, but the effect can be seen on x86 as
well. The resulting text size of a defconfig build shows some small
savings from this patch:
text data bss dec hex filename
19691167 5134320 1646664 26472151 193eed7 vmlinux.before
19676362 5134260 1663048 26473670 193f4c6 vmlinux.after
This change also opens the door for creating something like BUG_MSG(),
where a custom printk() before issuing BUG(), without confusing the "cut
here" line.
This patch (of 7):
There's no reason to have specialized helpers for passing the warn taint
down to __warn(). Consolidate and refactor helper macros, removing
__WARN_printf() and warn_slowpath_fmt_taint().

Right now kgdb/kdb hooks up to debug panics by registering for the panic
notifier. This works OK except that it means that kgdb/kdb gets called
_after_ the CPUs in the system are taken offline. That means that if
anything important was happening on those CPUs (like something that might
have contributed to the panic) you can't debug them.
Specifically I ran into a case where I got a panic because a task was
"blocked for more than 120 seconds" which was detected on CPU 2. I nicely
got shown stack traces in the kernel log for all CPUs including CPU 0,
which was running 'PID: 111 Comm: kworker/0:1H' and was in the middle of
__mmc_switch().
I then ended up at the kdb prompt where switched over to kgdb to try to
look at local variables of the process on CPU 0. I found that I couldn't.
Digging more, I found that I had no info on any tasks running on CPUs
other than CPU 2 and that asking kdb for help showed me "Error: no saved
data for this cpu". This was because all the CPUs were offline.
Let's move the entry of kdb/kgdb to a direct call from panic() and stop
using the generic notifier. Putting a direct call in allows us to order
things more properly and it also doesn't seem like we're breaking any
abstractions by calling into the debugger from the panic function.
Daniel said:
: This patch changes the way kdump and kgdb interact with each other.
: However it would seem rather odd to have both tools simultaneously armed
: and, even if they were, the user still has the option to use panic_timeout
: to force a kdump to happen. Thus I think the change of order is
: acceptable.

When kernel panic happens, it will first print the panic call stack,
then the ending msg like:
[ 35.743249] ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
[ 35.749975] ------------[ cut here ]------------
The above message are very useful for debugging.
But if system is configured to not reboot on panic, say the
"panic_timeout" parameter equals 0, it will likely print out many noisy
message like WARN() call stack for each and every CPU except the panic
one, messages like below:
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 280 at kernel/sched/core.c:1198 set_task_cpu+0x183/0x190
Call Trace:
<IRQ>
try_to_wake_up
default_wake_function
autoremove_wake_function
__wake_up_common
__wake_up_common_lock

wake_up_klogd_work_func
irq_work_run_list
irq_work_tick
update_process_times
tick_sched_timer
__hrtimer_run_queues
hrtimer_interrupt
smp_apic_timer_interrupt
apic_timer_interrupt
For people working in console mode, the screen will first show the panic
call stack, but immediately overridden by these noisy extra messages,
which makes debugging much more difficult, as the original context gets
lost on screen.
Also these noisy messages will confuse some users, as I have seen many bug
reporters posted the noisy message into bugzilla, instead of the real
panic call stack and context.
Adding a flag "suppress_printk" which gets set in panic() to avoid those
noisy messages, without changing current kernel behavior that both panic
blinking and sysrq magic key can work as is, suggested by Petr Mladek.
To verify this, make sure kernel is not configured to reboot on panic and
in console
# echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger
to see if console only prints out the panic call stack.

The disabled_wait() function uses its argument as the PSW address when
it stops the CPU with a wait PSW that is disabled for interrupts.
The different callers sometimes use a specific number like 0xdeadbeef
to indicate a specific failure, the early boot code uses 0 and some
other calls sites use __builtin_return_address(0).
At the time a dump is created the current PSW and the registers of a
CPU are written to lowcore to make them avaiable to the dump analysis
tool. For a CPU stopped with disabled_wait the PSW and the registers
do not really make sense together, the PSW address does not point to
the function the registers belong to.
Simplify disabled_wait() by using _THIS_IP_ for the PSW address and
drop the argument to the function.

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
- Keep spinlocks busted until the end of panic()
- Fix races between calculating number of messages that would fit into
user space buffers, filling the buffers, and switching printk.time
parameter
- Some code clean up

printk: Remove print_prefix() calls with NULL buffer.
printk: fix printk_time race.
printk: Make printk_emit() local function.
panic: avoid deadlocks in re-entrant console drivers
|
|
From printk()/serial console point of view panic() is special, because
it may force CPU to re-enter printk() or/and serial console driver.
Therefore, some of serial consoles drivers are re-entrant. E.g. 8250:
serial8250_console_write()
{
if (port->sysrq)
locked = 0;
else if (oops_in_progress)
locked = spin_trylock_irqsave(&port->lock, flags);
else
spin_lock_irqsave(&port->lock, flags);
...
}
panic() does set oops_in_progress via bust_spinlocks(1), so in theory
we should be able to re-enter serial console driver from panic():
CPU0
<NMI>
uart_console_write()
serial8250_console_write() // if (oops_in_progress)
// spin_trylock_irqsave()
call_console_drivers()
console_unlock()
console_flush_on_panic()
bust_spinlocks(1) // oops_in_progress++
panic()
<NMI/>
spin_lock_irqsave(&port->lock, flags) // spin_lock_irqsave()
serial8250_console_write()
call_console_drivers()
console_unlock()
printk()
...
However, this does not happen and we deadlock in serial console on
port->lock spinlock. And the problem is that console_flush_on_panic()
called after bust_spinlocks(0):
void panic(const char *fmt, ...)
{
bust_spinlocks(1);
...
bust_spinlocks(0);
console_flush_on_panic();
...
}
bust_spinlocks(0) decrements oops_in_progress, so oops_in_progress
can go back to zero. Thus even re-entrant console drivers will simply
spin on port->lock spinlock. Given that port->lock may already be
locked either by a stopped CPU, or by the very same CPU we execute
panic() on (for instance, NMI panic() on printing CPU) the system
deadlocks and does not reboot.
Fix this by removing bust_spinlocks(0), so oops_in_progress is always
set in panic() now and, thus, re-entrant console drivers will trylock
the port->lock instead of spinning on it forever, when we call them
from console_flush_on_panic().

If a call to panic() terminates the string with a \n , the result puts the
closing brace ']---' on a newline because panic() itself adds \n too.
Now, if one goes and removes the newline chars from all panic()
invocations - and the stats right now look like this:
~300 calls with a \n
~500 calls without a \n
one is destined to a neverending game of whack-a-mole because the usual
thing to do is add a newline at the end of a string a function is supposed
to print.
Therefore, simply zap any \n at the end of the panic string to avoid
touching so many places in the kernel.

The changes to automatically test for working stack protector compiler
support in the Kconfig files removed the special STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO
option that picked the strongest stack protector that the compiler
supported.
That was all a nice cleanup - it makes no sense to have the AUTO case
now that the Kconfig phase can just determine the compiler support
directly.
HOWEVER.
It also meant that doing "make oldconfig" would now _disable_ the strong
stackprotector if you had AUTO enabled, because in a legacy config file,
the sane stack protector configuration would look like
CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
# CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE is not set
# CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR is not set
# CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG is not set
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO=y
and when you ran this through "make oldconfig" with the Kbuild changes,
it would ask you about the regular CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR (that had
been renamed from CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR to just
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR), but it would think that the STRONG version
used to be disabled (because it was really enabled by AUTO), and would
disable it in the new config, resulting in:
CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE=y
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
# CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG is not set
CONFIG_CC_HAS_SANE_STACKPROTECTOR=y
That's dangerously subtle - people could suddenly find themselves with
the weaker stack protector setup without even realizing.
The solution here is to just rename not just the old RECULAR stack
protector option, but also the strong one. This does that by just
removing the CC_ prefix entirely for the user choices, because it really
is not about the compiler support (the compiler support now instead
automatially impacts _visibility_ of the options to users).
This results in "make oldconfig" actually asking the user for their
choice, so that we don't have any silent subtle security model changes.
The end result would generally look like this:
CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE=y
CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR=y
CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG=y
CONFIG_CC_HAS_SANE_STACKPROTECTOR=y
where the "CC_" versions really are about internal compiler
infrastructure, not the user selections.

Since the randstruct plugin can intentionally produce extremely unusual
kernel structure layouts (even performance pathological ones), some
maintainers want to be able to trivially determine if an Oops is coming
from a randstruct-built kernel, so as to keep their sanity when
debugging. This adds the new flag and initializes taint_mask
immediately when built with randstruct.
