Impact: fix truncated recursion bug message printout
When recursion_bug is true, kernel discards original message because printk_buf
contains recursion_bug_msg with NULL terminator. The sizeof(recursion_bug_msg)
makes this, use strlen() to get correct length without NULL terminator.

Without console= arguments on the kernel command line, the first
console to register becomes enabled and the preferred console (the one
behind /dev/console). This is normally tty (assuming
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is enabled, which it commonly is).
This is okay as long tty is a useful console. But unless we have the
PV framebuffer, and it is enabled for this domain, tty0 in domU is
merely a dummy. In that case, we want the preferred console to be the
Xen console hvc0, and we want it without having to fiddle with the
kernel command line. Commit b8c2d3dfbc
did that for us.
Since we now have the PV framebuffer, we want to enable and prefer tty
again, but only when PVFB is enabled. But even then we still want to
enable the Xen console as well.
Problem: when tty registers, we can't yet know whether the PVFB is
enabled. By the time we can know (xenstore is up), the console setup
game is over.
Solution: enable console tty by default, but keep hvc as the preferred
console. Change the preferred console to tty when PVFB probes
successfully, unless we've been given console kernel parameters.

console election: If some console happens to be registered first which does
not provide a tty binding (!console->device), it prevents that more suited
consoles which are registered later on can enter the candidate pool for
console_device(). This is observable with KGDB's console which may already
be registered (and exploited!) during early debugger connections, that is
before any regular console registration.
This patch fixes the issue by postponing the final, automated
preferred_console selection until someone with a non-NULL device handler
comes around.

We're exporting an __init function, oops :-)
The core issue here is that add_preferred_console() is marked
as __init, this makes it impossible to invoke this thing from
a driver probe routine which is what the Sparc serial drivers
need to do.
There is no harm in dropping the __init marker. This code will
actually work properly when invoked from a modular driver,
except that init will probably not pick up the console change
without some other support code.
Then we can drop the __init from sunserial_console_match()
and we're no longer exporting an __init function to modules.

Currently, there's a CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND that allows one to stop
the serial console from being suspended when the rest of the machine goes
to sleep. This is incredibly useful for debugging power management-related
things; however, having it as a compile-time option has proved to be
incredibly inconvenient for us (OLPC). There are plenty of times that we
want serial console to not suspend, but for the most part we'd like serial
console to be suspended.
This drops CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND, and replaces it with a kernel
boot parameter (no_console_suspend). By default, the serial console will
be suspended along with the rest of the system; by passing
'no_console_suspend' to the kernel during boot, serial console will remain
alive during suspend.
For now, this is pretty serial console specific; further fixes could be
applied to make this work for things like netconsole.

Optionally add a boot delay after each kernel printk() call, crudely

Enable CONFIG_BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY=y and then add (e.g.):
"lpj=loops_per_jiffy boot_delay=100"
to the kernel command line.
It has been useful in cases like "during boot, my machine just reboots or the
screen goes black" by slowing down printk, (and adding initcall_debug), we can
usually see the last thing that happened before the lights went out which is
usually a valuable clue.

Change printk_time from an int to a bool since that's what it is. Make its
logical (exposed) name just be "time" (was "printk_time").
Note: Changes kernel boot option syntax from "time" to "printk.time=value".
Since printk_time is declared as a module_param, it can also be
changed at run-time by modifying
/sys/module/printk/parameters/time
to a value of 1/Y/y to enabled it or 0/N/n to disable it.
Since printk_time is declared as a module_param, its value can also
be set at boot-time by using
linux printk.time=<bool>
If the "time" boot option is used, print a message that it is deprecated

The console subsystem already has an idea of a boot console, using the
CON_BOOT flag. The implementation has some flaws though. The major
problem is that presence of a boot console makes register_console() ignore
any other console devices (unless explicitly specified on the kernel
command line).
This patch fixes the console selection code to *not* consider a boot
console a full-featured one, so the first non-boot console registering will
become the default console instead. This way the unregister call for the
boot console in the register_console() function actually triggers and the
handover from the boot console to the real console device works smoothly.
Added a printk for the handover, so you know which console device the
output goes to when the boot console stops printing messages.
The disable_early_printk() call is obsolete with that patch, explicitly
disabling the early console isn't needed any more as it works automagically
with that patch.
I've walked through the tree, dropped all disable_early_printk() instances
found below arch/ and tagged the consoles with CON_BOOT if needed. The
code is tested on x86, sh (thanks to Paul) and mips (thanks to Ralf).
Changes to last version: Rediffed against -rc3, adapted to mips cleanups by
Ralf, fixed "udbg-immortal" cmd line arg on powerpc.

The order of locking between lockdep_off/on() and local_irq_save/restore() in
vprintk() should be changed.
* In kernel/printk.c :
vprintk() does :
preempt_disable()
local_irq_save()
lockdep_off()
spin_lock(&logbuf_lock)
spin_unlock(&logbuf_lock)
if(!down_trylock(&console_sem))
up(&console_sem)
lockdep_on()
local_irq_restore()
preempt_enable()
The goals here is to make sure we do not call printk() recursively from
kernel/lockdep.c:__lock_acquire() (called from spin_* and down/up) nor from
kernel/lockdep.c:trace_hardirqs_on/off() (called from local_irq_restore/save).
It can then potentially call printk() through mark_held_locks/mark_lock.
It correctly protects against the spin_lock call and the up/down call, but it
does not protect against local_irq_restore. It could cause infinite recursive
printk/trace_hardirqs_on() calls when printk() is called from the
mark_lock() error handing path.
We should change the locking so it becomes correct :
preempt_disable()
lockdep_off()
local_irq_save()
spin_lock(&logbuf_lock)
spin_unlock(&logbuf_lock)
if(!down_trylock(&console_sem))
up(&console_sem)
local_irq_restore()
lockdep_on()
preempt_enable()

printk_ratelimit() has global state which makes it not useful for callers
which wish to perform ratelimiting at a particular frequency.
Add a printk_timed_ratelimit() which utilises caller-provided state storage to
permit more flexibility.
This function can in fact be used for things other than printk ratelimiting
and is perhaps poorly named.

Bug reported and fixed by Tilman Schmidt <tilman@imap.cc>: if lockdep is
enabled then log messages make it to /var/log/messages belatedly. The
reason is a missed wakeup of klogd.
Initially there was only a lockdep_internal() protection against lockdep
recursion within vprintk() - it grew the 'outer' lockdep_off()/on()
protection only later on. But that lockdep_off() made the
release_console_sem() within vprintk() always happen under the
lockdep_internal() condition, causing the bug.
The right solution to remove the inner protection against recursion here -
the outer one is enough.

This can occur when release_console_sem() is called but the log
buffer still has contents that need to be flushed. The console drivers
are called while the console_may_schedule flag is still true. The
might_sleep() is triggered when fbcon calls console_conditional_schedule().
Fix by setting console_may_schedule to zero earlier, before the call to the
console drivers.

Currently, enabling/disabling printk timestamps is only possible through
reboot (bootparam) or recompile. I normally do not run with timestamps
(since syslog handles that in a good manner), but for measuring small
kernel delays (e.g. irq probing - see parport thread) I needed subsecond
precision, but then again, just for some minutes rather than all kernel
messages to come. The following patch adds a module_param() with which the
timestamps can be en-/disabled in a live system through

Currently printk is no use for early debugging because it refuses to
actually print anything to the console unless
cpu_online(smp_processor_id()) is true.
The stated explanation is that console drivers may require per-cpu
resources, or otherwise barf, because the system is not yet setup
correctly. Fair enough.
However some console drivers might be quite happy running early during
boot, in fact we have one, and so it'd be nice if printk understood that.
So I added a flag (which I would have called CON_BOOT, but that's taken)
called CON_ANYTIME, which indicates that a console is happy to be called
anytime, even if the cpu is not yet online.
Tested on a Power 5 machine, with both a CON_ANYTIME driver and a bogus
console driver that BUG()s if called while offline. No problems AFAICT.

It appears that console_setup() code only gets compiled into the kernel if
CONFIG_PRINTK is enabled. One detrimental side-effect of this is that
serial8250_console_setup() never gets invoked when CONFIG_PRINTK is not
set, resulting in baud rate not being read/parsed from command line (i.e.
console=ttyS0,115200n8 is ignored, at least the baud rate part...)
Attached patch moves console_setup() code from inside
#ifdef CONFIG_PRINTK
to outside (in printk.c), removing dependence on said config. option.

What's the true meaning of the printk return value? Should it include the
priority prefix length of 3? and what about the timing information? In
both cases it was broken:
strace -e write echo 1 > /dev/kmsg
=> write(1, "1\n", 2) = 5
strace -e write echo "<1>1" > /dev/kmsg
=> write(1, "<1>1\n", 5) = 8
The returned length was "length of input string + 3", I made it "length
of string output to the log buffer".
Note that I couldn't find any printk caller in the kernel interested by its
return value besides kmsg_write.

If unregister_console() is inadvertently called while no consoles are
registered, it will crash trying to dereference NULL pointer. It is
necessary to fix that because register_console() provides no indication
that it actually registered the console passed in. In fact, it may well
decide not to register it based on various things...

ia64's sched_clock() accesses per-cpu data which isn't set up at boot time.
Hence ia64 cannot use printk timestamping, because printk() will crash in
sched_clock().
So make printk() use printk_clock(), defaulting to sched_clock(), overrideable
by the architecture via attribute(weak).

The attached patch prevents oopses interleaving with characters from
other printks on other CPUs by only breaking the lock if the oops is
happening on the machine holding the lock.
It might be better if the oops generator got the lock and then called an

making oops reports "atomic".

In the cpu hotplug case, per-cpu data possibly isn't initialized even the
system state is 'running'. As the comments say in the original code, some

of slab is freed, so the system crashed when printing some info.

According to include/linux/console.h, CON_CONSDEV flag should be set on
the last console specified on the boot command line:
86 #define CON_PRINTBUFFER (1)
87 #define CON_CONSDEV (2) /* Last on the command line */
88 #define CON_ENABLED (4)
89 #define CON_BOOT (8)
This does not currently happen if there is more than one console specified
on the boot commandline. Instead, it gets set on the first console on the
command line. This can cause problems for things like kdb that look for
the CON_CONSDEV flag to see if the console is valid.
Additionaly, it doesn't look like CON_CONSDEV is reassigned to the next
preferred console at unregister time if the console being unregistered
currently has that bit set.
Example (from sn2 ia64):
elilo vmlinuz root=<dev> console=ttyS0 console=ttySG0
in this case, the flags on ttySG console struct will be 0x4 (should be
0x6).
Attached patch against bk fixes both issues for the cases I looked at. It
uses selected_console (which gets incremented for each console specified on
the command line) as the indicator of which console to set CON_CONSDEV on.
When adding the console to the list, if the previous one had CON_CONSDEV
set, it masks it out. Tested on ia64 and x86.
The problem with the current behavior is it breaks overriding the default from
the boot line. In the ia64 case, there may be a global append line defining
console=a in elilo.conf. Then you want to boot your kernel, and want to
override the default by passing console=b on the boot line. elilo constructs
the kernel cmdline by starting with the value of the global append line, then
tacks on whatever else you specify, which puts console=b last.
