driver core: Reject pointless SYNC_STATE_ONLY device links

2021-10-05T15:45:54Z

SYNC_STATE_ONLY device links intentionally allow cycles because cyclic sync_state() dependencies are valid and necessary. However a SYNC_STATE_ONLY device link where the consumer and the supplier are the same device is pointless because the device link would be deleted as soon as the device probes (because it's also the consumer) and won't affect when the sync_state() callback is called. It's a waste of CPU cycles and memory to create this device link. So reject any attempts to create such a device link.

driver core: Set deferred probe reason when deferred by driver core

2021-09-28T07:48:48Z

When the driver core defers the probe of a device, set the deferred probe reason so that it's easier to debug. The deferred probe reason is available in debugfs under devices_deferred.

driver core: fw_devlink: Add support for FWNODE_FLAG_NEEDS_CHILD_BOUND_ON_ADD

2021-09-23T17:26:54Z

If a parent device is also a supplier to a child device, fw_devlink=on by design delays the probe() of the child device until the probe() of the parent finishes successfully. However, some drivers of such parent devices (where parent is also a supplier) expect the child device to finish probing successfully as soon as they are added using device_add() and before the probe() of the parent device has completed successfully. One example of such a case is discussed in the link mentioned below. Add a flag to make fw_devlink=on not enforce these supplier-consumer relationships, so these drivers can continue working.

driver core: fw_devlink: Improve handling of cyclic dependencies

2021-09-21T16:21:48Z

When we have a dependency of the form: Device-A -> Device-C Device-B Device-C -> Device-B Where, * Indentation denotes "child of" parent in previous line. * X -> Y denotes X is consumer of Y based on firmware (Eg: DT). We have cyclic dependency: device-A -> device-C -> device-B -> device-A fw_devlink current treats device-C -> device-B dependency as an invalid dependency and doesn't enforce it but leaves the rest of the dependencies as is. While the current behavior is necessary, it is not sufficient if the false dependency in this example is actually device-A -> device-C. When this is the case, device-C will correctly probe defer waiting for device-B to be added, but device-A will be incorrectly probe deferred by fw_devlink waiting on device-C to probe successfully. Due to this, none of the devices in the cycle will end up probing. To fix this, we need to go relax all the dependencies in the cycle like we already do in the other instances where fw_devlink detects cycles. A real world example of this was reported[1] and analyzed[2].

It can be used when monitoring important kernel messages on a farm of various hosts. The monitor has to be updated when some messages has changed or are not longer available by a newly deployed kernel. - Add printk.console_no_auto_verbose boot parameter. It allows to generate crash dump even with slow consoles in a reasonable time frame. - Remove printk_safe buffers. The messages are always stored directly to the main logbuffer, even in NMI or recursive context. Also it allows to serialize syslog operations by a mutex instead of a spin lock. - Misc clean up and build fixes. * tag 'printk-for-5.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux: printk/index: Fix -Wunused-function warning lib/nmi_backtrace: Serialize even messages about idle CPUs printk: Add printk.console_no_auto_verbose boot parameter printk: Remove console_silent() lib/test_scanf: Handle n_bits == 0 in random tests printk: syslog: close window between wait and read printk: convert @syslog_lock to mutex printk: remove NMI tracking printk: remove safe buffers printk: track/limit recursion lib/nmi_backtrace: explicitly serialize banner and regs printk: Move the printk() kerneldoc comment to its new home printk/index: Fix warning about missing prototypes MIPS/asm/printk: Fix build failure caused by printk printk: index: Add indexing support to dev_printk printk: Userspace format indexing support printk: Rework parse_prefix into printk_parse_prefix printk: Straighten out log_flags into printk_info_flags string_helpers: Escape double quotes in escape_special printk/console: Check consistent sequence number when handling race in console_unlock()
