Before the commit 896fbe20b4 ("printk: use the lockless
ringbuffer"), msg_print_text() would only write up to size-1 bytes
into the provided buffer. Some callers expect this behavior and
append a terminator to returned string. In particular:
arch/powerpc/xmon/xmon.c:dump_log_buf()
arch/um/kernel/kmsg_dump.c:kmsg_dumper_stdout()
msg_print_text() has been replaced by record_print_text(), which
currently fills the full size of the buffer. This causes a
buffer overflow for the above callers.
Change record_print_text() so that it will only use size-1 bytes
for text data. Also, for paranoia sakes, add a terminator after
the text data.
And finally, document this behavior so that it is clear that only
size-1 bytes are used and a terminator is added.

kmsg_dump_get_buffer() uses @syslog to determine if the syslog
prefix should be written to the buffer. However, when calculating
the maximum number of records that can fit into the buffer, it
always counts the bytes from the syslog prefix.

Counting text lines in a record simply involves counting the number
of newline characters (+1). However, it is searching the full data
block for newline characters, even though the text data can be (and
often is) a subset of that area. Since the extra area in the data
block was never initialized, the result is that extra newlines may
be seen and counted.
Restrict newline searching to the text data length.

Since the ringbuffer is lockless, there is no need for it to be
protected by @logbuf_lock. Remove @logbuf_lock writer-protection of
the ringbuffer. The reader-protection is not removed because some
variables, used by readers, are using @logbuf_lock for synchronization:
@syslog_seq, @syslog_time, @syslog_partial, @console_seq,
struct kmsg_dumper.
For PRINTK_NMI_DIRECT_CONTEXT_MASK, @logbuf_lock usage is not removed
because it may be used for dumper synchronization.
Without @logbuf_lock synchronization of vprintk_store() it is no
longer possible to use the single static buffer for temporarily
sprint'ing the message. Instead, use vsnprintf() to determine the
length and perform the real vscnprintf() using the area reserved from
the ringbuffer. This leads to suboptimal packing of the message data,
but will result in less wasted storage than multiple per-cpu buffers
to support lockless temporary sprint'ing.

The commit 48021f9813 ("printk: handle blank console arguments
passed in.") prevented crash caused by empty console= parameter value.
Unfortunately, this value is widely used on Chromebooks to disable
the console output. The above commit caused performance regression
because the messages were pushed on slow console even though nobody
was watching it.
Use ttynull driver explicitly for console="" and console=null
parameters. It has been created for exactly this purpose.
It causes that preferred_console is set. As a result, ttySX and ttyX
are not used as a fallback. And only ttynull console gets registered by
default.
It still allows to register other consoles either by additional console=
parameters or SPCR. It prevents regression because it worked this way even
before. Also it is a sane semantic. Preventing output on all consoles
should be done another way, for example, by introducing mute_console
parameter.

As discussed with John Ogness privately, this is probably just some minor

simply remove this unneeded dead assignment to make clang-analyzer happy.
As compilers will detect this unneeded assignment and optimize this anyway,

If a reader provides a buffer that is smaller than the message text,
the @text_len field of @info will have a value larger than the buffer
size. If readers blindly read @text_len bytes of data without
checking the size, they will read beyond their buffer.
Add this check to record_print_text() to properly recognize when such
truncation has occurred.
Add a maximum size argument to the ringbuffer function to extend
records so that records can not be created that are larger than the
buffer size of readers.
When extending records (LOG_CONT), do not extend records beyond
LOG_LINE_MAX since that is the maximum size available in the buffers
used by consoles and syslog.

Dictionaries are only used for SUBSYSTEM and DEVICE properties. The
current implementation stores the property names each time they are
used. This requires more space than otherwise necessary. Also,
because the dictionary entries are currently considered optional,
it cannot be relied upon that they are always available, even if the
writer wanted to store them. These issues will increase should new
dictionary properties be introduced.
Rather than storing the subsystem and device properties in the
dict ring, introduce a struct dev_printk_info with separate fields
to store only the property values. Embed this struct within the
struct printk_info to provide guaranteed availability.

The majority of the size of a descriptor is taken up by meta data,
which is often not of interest to the ringbuffer (for example,
when performing state checks). Since descriptors are often
temporarily stored on the stack, keeping their size minimal will
help reduce stack pressure.
Rather than embedding the printk_info into the descriptor, create
a separate printk_info array. The index of a descriptor in the
descriptor array corresponds to the printk_info with the same
index in the printk_info array. The rules for validity of a
printk_info match the existing rules for the data blocks: the
descriptor must be in a consistent state.

Add support for extending the newest data block. For this, introduce
a new finalization state (desc_finalized) denoting a committed
descriptor that cannot be extended.
Until a record is finalized, a writer can reopen that record to
append new data. Reopening a record means transitioning from the
desc_committed state back to the desc_reserved state.
A writer can explicitly finalize a record if there is no intention
of extending it. Also, records are automatically finalized when a
new record is reserved. This relieves writers of needing to
explicitly finalize while also making such records available to
readers sooner. (Readers can only traverse finalized records.)
Four new memory barrier pairs are introduced. Two of them are
insignificant additions (data_realloc:A/desc_read:D and
data_realloc:A/data_push_tail:B) because they are alternate path
memory barriers that exactly match the purpose, pairing, and
context of the two existing memory barrier pairs they provide an
alternate path for. The other two new memory barrier pairs are
significant additions:
desc_reopen_last:A / _prb_commit:B - When reopening a descriptor,
ensure the state transitions back to desc_reserved before
fully trusting the descriptor data.
_prb_commit:B / desc_reserve:D - When committing a descriptor,
ensure the state transitions to desc_committed before checking
the head ID to see if the descriptor needs to be finalized.

Rather than deriving the state by evaluating bits within the flags
area of the state variable, assign the states explicit values and
set those values in the flags area. Introduce macros to make it
simple to read and write state values for the state variable.
Although the functionality is preserved, the binary representation
for the states is changed.

prb_reserve() will set some meta data values and leave others
uninitialized (or rather, containing the values of the previous
wrap). Simplify the API by always clearing out all the fields.
Only the sequence number is filled in. The caller is now
responsible for filling in the rest of the meta data fields.
In particular, for correctly filling in text and dict lengths.

@state_var is copied as part of the descriptor copying via
memcpy(). This is not allowed because @state_var is an atomic type,
which in some implementations may contain a spinlock.
Avoid using memcpy() with @state_var by explicitly copying the other
fields of the descriptor. @state_var is set using atomic set
operator before returning.

It is expected that desc_read() will always set at least the
@state_var field. However, if the descriptor is in an inconsistent
state, no fields are set.
Also, the second load of @state_var is not stored in @desc_out and
so might not match the state value that is returned.
Always set the last loaded @state_var into @desc_out, regardless of
the descriptor consistency.

With commit 896fbe20b4 ("printk: use the lockless ringbuffer"),
printk() started silently dropping messages without text because such
records are not supported by the new printk ringbuffer.
Add support for such records.
Currently dataless records are denoted by INVALID_LPOS in order
to recognize failed prb_reserve() calls. Change the ringbuffer
to instead use two different identifiers (FAILED_LPOS and
NO_LPOS) to distinguish between failed prb_reserve() records and
successful dataless records, respectively.

The commit 625d344978 ("Revert "kernel/printk: add kmsg SEEK_CUR
handling"") reverted a change done to the return value in case a SEEK_CUR
operation was performed for kmsg buffer based on the fact that different
userspace apps were handling the new return value (-ESPIPE) in different
ways, breaking them.
At the same time -ESPIPE was the wrong decision because kmsg /does support/
seek() but doesn't follow the "normal" behavior userspace is used to.
Because of that and also considering the time -EINVAL has been used, it was
decided to keep this way to avoid more userspace breakage.
This patch adds an official statement to the kmsg documentation pointing to
the current return value for SEEK_CUR, -EINVAL, thus userspace libraries
and apps can refer to it for a definitive guide on what to expect.

Replace the existing ringbuffer usage and implementation with
lockless ringbuffer usage. Even though the new ringbuffer does not
require locking, all existing locking is left in place. Therefore,
this change is purely replacing the underlining ringbuffer.
Changes that exist due to the ringbuffer replacement:
- The VMCOREINFO has been updated for the new structures.
- Dictionary data is now stored in a separate data buffer from the
human-readable messages. The dictionary data buffer is set to the
same size as the message buffer. Therefore, the total required
memory for both dictionary and message data is
2 * (2 ^ CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT) for the initial static buffers and
2 * log_buf_len (the kernel parameter) for the dynamic buffers.
- Record meta-data is now stored in a separate array of descriptors.
This is an additional 72 * (2 ^ (CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT - 5)) bytes
for the static array and 72 * (log_buf_len >> 5) bytes for the
dynamic array.

Introduce a multi-reader multi-writer lockless ringbuffer for storing
the kernel log messages. Readers and writers may use their API from
any context (including scheduler and NMI). This ringbuffer will make
it possible to decouple printk() callers from any context, locking,
or console constraints. It also makes it possible for readers to have
full access to the ringbuffer contents at any time and context (for
example from any panic situation).
The printk_ringbuffer is made up of 3 internal ringbuffers:
desc_ring:
A ring of descriptors. A descriptor contains all record meta data
(sequence number, timestamp, loglevel, etc.) as well as internal state
information about the record and logical positions specifying where in
the other ringbuffers the text and dictionary strings are located.
text_data_ring:
A ring of data blocks. A data block consists of an unsigned long
integer (ID) that maps to a desc_ring index followed by the text
string of the record.
dict_data_ring:
A ring of data blocks. A data block consists of an unsigned long
integer (ID) that maps to a desc_ring index followed by the dictionary
string of the record.
The internal state information of a descriptor is the key element to
allow readers and writers to locklessly synchronize access to the data.

This reverts commit 8ece3b3eb5.
This commit broke userspace. Bash uses ESPIPE to determine whether or
not the file should be read using "unbuffered I/O", which means reading
1 byte at a time instead of 128 bytes at a time. I used to use bash to
read through kmsg in a really quite nasty way:
while read -t 0.1 -r line 2>/dev/null || [[ $? -ne 142 ]]; do
echo "SARU $line"
done < /dev/kmsg
This will show all lines that can fit into the 128 byte buffer, and skip
lines that don't. That's pretty awful, but at least it worked.
With this change, bash now tries to do 1-byte reads, which means it
skips all the lines, which is worse than before.
Now, I don't really care very much about this, and I'm already look for
a workaround. But I did just spend an hour trying to figure out why my
scripts were broken. Either way, it makes no difference to me personally
whether this is reverted, but it might be something to consider. If you
declare that "trying to read /dev/kmsg with bash is terminally stupid
anyway," I might be inclined to agree with you. But do note that bash
uses lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_CUR)==>ESPIPE to determine whether or not it's
reading from a pipe.
