printk: Save console options for add_preferred_console_match() Driver subsystems may need to translate the preferred console name to the character device name used. We already do some of this in console_setup() with a few hardcoded names, but that does not scale well. The console options are parsed early in console_setup(), and the consoles are added with __add_preferred_console(). At this point we don't know much about the character device names and device drivers getting probed. To allow driver subsystems to set up a preferred console, let's save the kernel command line console options. To add a preferred console from a driver subsystem with optional character device name translation, let's add a new function add_preferred_console_match(). This allows the serial core layer to support console=DEVNAME:0.0 style hardware based addressing in addition to the current console=ttyS0 style naming. And we can start moving console_setup() character device parsing to the driver subsystem specific code. We use a separate array from the console_cmdline array as the character device name and index may be unknown at the console_setup() time. And eventually there's no need to call __add_preferred_console() until the subsystem is ready to handle the console. Adding the console name in addition to the character device name, and a flag for an added console, could be added to the struct console_cmdline. And the console_cmdline array handling could be modified accordingly. But that complicates things compared saving the console options, and then adding the consoles when the subsystems handling the consoles are ready.

printk: Add non-BKL (nbcon) console basic infrastructure The current console/printk subsystem is protected by a Big Kernel Lock, (aka console_lock) which has ill defined semantics and is more or less stateless. This puts severe limitations on the console subsystem and makes forced takeover and output in emergency and panic situations a fragile endeavour that is based on try and pray. The goal of non-BKL (nbcon) consoles is to break out of the console lock jail and to provide a new infrastructure that avoids the pitfalls and also allows console drivers to be gradually converted over. The proposed infrastructure aims for the following properties: - Per console locking instead of global locking - Per console state that allows to make informed decisions - Stateful handover and takeover As a first step, state is added to struct console. The per console state is an atomic_t using a 32bit bit field. Reserve state bits, which will be populated later in the series. Wire it up into the console register/unregister functionality. It was decided to use a bitfield because using a plain u32 with mask/shift operations resulted in uncomprehensible code.

printk: Userspace format indexing support We have a number of systems industry-wide that have a subset of their functionality that works as follows: 1. Receive a message from local kmsg, serial console, or netconsole; 2. Apply a set of rules to classify the message; 3. Do something based on this classification (like scheduling a remediation for the machine), rinse, and repeat. As a couple of examples of places we have this implemented just inside Facebook, although this isn't a Facebook-specific problem, we have this inside our netconsole processing (for alarm classification), and as part of our machine health checking. We use these messages to determine fairly important metrics around production health, and it's important that we get them right. While for some kinds of issues we have counters, tracepoints, or metrics with a stable interface which can reliably indicate the issue, in order to react to production issues quickly we need to work with the interface which most kernel developers naturally use when developing: printk. Most production issues come from unexpected phenomena, and as such usually the code in question doesn't have easily usable tracepoints or other counters available for the specific problem being mitigated. We have a number of lines of monitoring defence against problems in production (host metrics, process metrics, service metrics, etc), and where it's not feasible to reliably monitor at another level, this kind of pragmatic netconsole monitoring is essential. As one would expect, monitoring using printk is rather brittle for a number of reasons -- most notably that the message might disappear entirely in a new version of the kernel, or that the message may change in some way that the regex or other classification methods start to silently fail. One factor that makes this even harder is that, under normal operation, many of these messages are never expected to be hit. For example, there may be a rare hardware bug which one wants to detect if it was to ever happen again, but its recurrence is not likely or anticipated. This precludes using something like checking whether the printk in question was printed somewhere fleetwide recently to determine whether the message in question is still present or not, since we don't anticipate that it should be printed anywhere, but still need to monitor for its future presence in the long-term. This class of issue has happened on a number of occasions, causing unhealthy machines with hardware issues to remain in production for longer than ideal. As a recent example, some monitoring around blk_update_request fell out of date and caused semi-broken machines to remain in production for longer than would be desirable. Searching through the codebase to find the message is also extremely fragile, because many of the messages are further constructed beyond their callsite (eg. btrfs_printk and other module-specific wrappers, each with their own functionality). Even if they aren't, guessing the format and formulation of the underlying message based on the aesthetics of the message emitted is not a recipe for success at scale, and our previous issues with fleetwide machine health checking demonstrate as much. This provides a solution to the issue of silently changed or deleted printks: we record pointers to all printk format strings known at compile time into a new .printk_index section, both in vmlinux and modules. At runtime, this can then be iterated by looking at <debugfs>/printk/index/<module>, which emits the following format, both readable by humans and able to be parsed by machines: $ head -1 vmlinux; shuf -n 5 vmlinux # <level[,flags]> filename:line function "format" <5> block/blk-settings.c:661 disk_stack_limits "%s: Warning: Device %s is misaligned\n" <4> kernel/trace/trace.c:8296 trace_create_file "Could not create tracefs '%s' entry\n" <6> arch/x86/kernel/hpet.c:144 _hpet_print_config "hpet: %s(%d):\n" <6> init/do_mounts.c:605 prepare_namespace "Waiting for root device %s...\n" <6> drivers/acpi/osl.c:1410 acpi_no_auto_serialize_setup "ACPI: auto-serialization disabled\n" This mitigates the majority of cases where we have a highly-specific printk which we want to match on, as we can now enumerate and check whether the format changed or the printk callsite disappeared entirely in userspace. This allows us to catch changes to printks we monitor earlier and decide what to do about it before it becomes problematic. There is no additional runtime cost for printk callers or printk itself, and the assembly generated is exactly the same.

printk: move printk sysctl to printk/sysctl.c 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. So move printk sysctl from kernel/sysctl.c to kernel/printk/sysctl.c. Use register_sysctl() to register the sysctl interface.
