* printk/nmi: Prevent deadlock when accessing the main log buffer in NMIPetr Mladek2018-07-091-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The commit 719f6a7040f1bdaf96 ("printk: Use the main logbuf in NMI when logbuf_lock is available") brought back the possible deadlocks in printk() and NMI. The check of logbuf_lock is done only in printk_nmi_enter() to prevent mixed output. But another CPU might take the lock later, enter NMI, and: + Both NMIs might be serialized by yet another lock, for example, the one in nmi_cpu_backtrace(). + The other CPU might get stopped in NMI, see smp_send_stop() in panic(). The only safe solution is to use trylock when storing the message into the main log-buffer. It might cause reordering when some lines go to the main lock buffer directly and others are delayed via the per-CPU buffer. It means that it is not useful in general. This patch replaces the problematic NMI deferred context with NMI direct context. It can be used to mark a code that might produce many messages in NMI and the risk of losing them is more critical than problems with eventual reordering. The context is then used when dumping trace buffers on oops. It was the primary motivation for the original fix. Also the reordering is even smaller issue there because some traces have their own time stamps. Finally, nmi_cpu_backtrace() need not longer be serialized because it will always us the per-CPU buffers again.

* printk: Use the main logbuf in NMI when logbuf_lock is availablePetr Mladek2017-05-191-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The commit 42a0bb3f71383b457a7d ("printk/nmi: generic solution for safe printk in NMI") caused that printk stores messages into a temporary buffer in NMI context. The buffer is per-CPU and therefore the size is rather limited. It works quite well for NMI backtraces. But there are longer logs that might get printed in NMI context, for example, lockdep warnings, ftrace_dump_on_oops. The temporary buffer is used to avoid deadlocks caused by logbuf_lock. Also it is needed to avoid races with the other temporary buffer that is used when PRINTK_SAFE_CONTEXT is entered. But the main buffer can be used in NMI if the lock is available and we did not interrupt PRINTK_SAFE_CONTEXT. The lock is checked using raw_spin_is_locked(). It might cause false negatives when the lock is taken on another CPU and this CPU is in the safe context from other reasons. Note that the safe context is used also to get console semaphore or when calling console drivers. For this reason, we do the check in printk_nmi_enter(). It makes the handling consistent for the entire NMI handler and avoids reshuffling of the messages. The patch also defines special printk context that allows to use printk_deferred() in NMI. Note that we could not flush the messages to the consoles because console drivers might use many other internal locks. The newly created vprintk_deferred() disables the preemption only around the irq work handling. It is needed there to keep the consistency between the two per-CPU variables. But there is no reason to disable preemption around vprintk_emit(). Finally, the patch puts back explicit serialization of the NMI backtraces from different CPUs. It was removed by the commit a9edc88093287183ac934b ("x86/nmi: Perform a safe NMI stack trace on all CPUs"). It was not needed because the flushing of the temporary per-CPU buffers was serialized.

The patch also moves lost message counter to struct `printk_safe_seq_buf' instead of having dedicated static counters - this simplifies the code.

* printk: introduce per-cpu safe_print seq bufferSergey Senozhatsky2017-02-081-23/+53
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch extends the idea of NMI per-cpu buffers to regions that may cause recursive printk() calls and possible deadlocks. Namely, printk() can't handle printk calls from schedule code or printk() calls from lock debugging code (spin_dump() for instance); because those may be called with `sem->lock' already taken or any other `critical' locks (p->pi_lock, etc.). An example of deadlock can be vprintk_emit() console_unlock() up() << raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&sem->lock, flags); wake_up_process() try_to_wake_up() ttwu_queue() ttwu_activate() activate_task() enqueue_task() enqueue_task_fair() cfs_rq_of() task_of() WARN_ON_ONCE(!entity_is_task(se)) vprintk_emit() console_trylock() down_trylock() raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&sem->lock, flags) ^^^^ deadlock and some other cases. Just like in NMI implementation, the solution uses a per-cpu `printk_func' pointer to 'redirect' printk() calls to a 'safe' callback, that store messages in a per-cpu buffer and flushes them back to logbuf buffer later. Usage example: printk() printk_safe_enter_irqsave(flags) // // any printk() call from here will endup in vprintk_safe(), // that stores messages in a special per-CPU buffer. // printk_safe_exit_irqrestore(flags) The 'redirection' mechanism, though, has been reworked, as suggested by Petr Mladek. Instead of using a per-cpu @print_func callback we now keep a per-cpu printk-context variable and call either default or nmi vprintk function depending on its value. printk_nmi_entrer/exit and printk_safe_enter/exit, thus, just set/celar corresponding bits in printk-context functions. The patch only adds printk_safe support, we don't use it yet.

* printk/nmi: flush NMI messages on the system panicPetr Mladek2016-05-201-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In NMI context, printk() messages are stored into per-CPU buffers to avoid a possible deadlock. They are normally flushed to the main ring buffer via an IRQ work. But the work is never called when the system calls panic() in the very same NMI handler. This patch tries to flush NMI buffers before the crash dump is generated. In this case it does not risk a double release and bails out when the logbuf_lock is already taken. The aim is to get the messages into the main ring buffer when possible. It makes them better accessible in the vmcore. Then the patch tries to flush the buffers second time when other CPUs are down. It might be more aggressive and reset logbuf_lock. The aim is to get the messages available for the consequent kmsg_dump() and console_flush_on_panic() calls. The patch causes vprintk_emit() to be called even in NMI context again. But it is done via printk_deferred() so that the console handling is skipped. Consoles use internal locks and we could not prevent a deadlock easily. They are explicitly called later when the crash dump is not generated, see console_flush_on_panic().

* printk/nmi: generic solution for safe printk in NMIPetr Mladek2016-05-201-0/+44
printk() takes some locks and could not be used a safe way in NMI context. The chance of a deadlock is real especially when printing stacks from all CPUs. This particular problem has been addressed on x86 by the commit a9edc8809328 ("x86/nmi: Perform a safe NMI stack trace on all CPUs"). The patchset brings two big advantages. First, it makes the NMI backtraces safe on all architectures for free. Second, it makes all NMI messages almost safe on all architectures (the temporary buffer is limited. We still should keep the number of messages in NMI context at minimum). Note that there already are several messages printed in NMI context: WARN_ON(in_nmi()), BUG_ON(in_nmi()), anything being printed out from MCE handlers. These are not easy to avoid. This patch reuses most of the code and makes it generic. It is useful for all messages and architectures that support NMI. The alternative printk_func is set when entering and is reseted when leaving NMI context. It queues IRQ work to copy the messages into the main ring buffer in a safe context. __printk_nmi_flush() copies all available messages and reset the buffer. Then we could use a simple cmpxchg operations to get synchronized with writers. There is also used a spinlock to get synchronized with other flushers. We do not longer use seq_buf because it depends on external lock. It would be hard to make all supported operations safe for a lockless use. It would be confusing and error prone to make only some operations safe. The code is put into separate printk/nmi.c as suggested by Steven Rostedt. It needs a per-CPU buffer and is compiled only on architectures that call nmi_enter(). This is achieved by the new HAVE_NMI Kconfig flag. The are MN10300 and Xtensa architectures. We need to clean up NMI handling there first. Let's do it separately. The patch is heavily based on the draft from Peter Zijlstra, see https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/6/10/327 [arnd@arndb.de: printk-nmi: use %zu format string for size_t] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: min_t->min - all types are size_t here] Signed-off-by: Petr Mladek <pmladek@suse.com> Suggested-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Suggested-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Acked-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk> [arm part] Cc: Daniel Thompson <daniel.thompson@linaro.org> Cc: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Cc: Daniel Thompson <daniel.thompson@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
