Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain: "For two kernel releases now kernel/sysctl.c has been being cleaned up slowly, since the tables were grossly long, sprinkled with tons of #ifdefs and all this caused merge conflicts with one susbystem or another.

kexec: remove redundant assignments

2022-04-29T21:38:03Z

Get rid of redundant assignments which end up in values not being read either because they are overwritten or the function ends.

kernel/kexec_core: move kexec_core sysctls into its own file

2022-04-25T21:01:11Z

This move the kernel/kexec_core.c respective sysctls to its own file. kernel/sysctl.c has grown to an insane mess, We move sysctls to places where features actually belong to improve the readability and reduce merge conflicts. At the same time, the proc-sysctl maintainers can easily care about the core logic other than the sysctl knobs added for some feature. We already moved all filesystem sysctls out. This patch is part of the effort to move kexec related sysctls out. Signed-off-by: yingelin Acked-by: Baoquan He Signed-off-by: Luis Chamberlain

exit: Move oops specific logic from do_exit into make_task_dead

2021-12-13T18:04:45Z

The beginning of do_exit has become cluttered and difficult to read as it is filled with checks to handle things that can only happen when the kernel is operating improperly. Now that we have a dedicated function for cleaning up a task when the kernel is operating improperly move the checks there. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman"

printk: remove safe buffers

2021-07-26T13:09:34Z

With @logbuf_lock removed, the high level printk functions for storing messages are lockless. Messages can be stored from any context, so there is no need for the NMI and safe buffers anymore. Remove the NMI and safe buffers. Although the safe buffers are removed, the NMI and safe context tracking is still in place. In these contexts, store the message immediately but still use irq_work to defer the console printing. Since printk recursion tracking is in place, safe context tracking for most of printk is not needed. Remove it. Only safe context tracking relating to the console and console_owner locks is left in place. This is because the console and console_owner locks are needed for the actual printing.

kernel.h: split out panic and oops helpers

2021-07-01T18:06:04Z

kernel.h is being used as a dump for all kinds of stuff for a long time. Here is the attempt to start cleaning it up by splitting out panic and oops helpers. There are several purposes of doing this: - dropping dependency in bug.h - dropping a loop by moving out panic_notifier.h - unload kernel.h from something which has its own domain At the same time convert users tree-wide to use new headers, although for the time being include new header back to kernel.h to avoid twisted indirected includes for existing users.

kexec: dump kmessage before machine_kexec

2021-05-07T07:26:32Z

kmsg_dump(KMSG_DUMP_SHUTDOWN) is called before machine_restart(), machine_halt(), and machine_power_off(). The only one that is missing is machine_kexec(). The dmesg output that it contains can be used to study the shutdown performance of both kernel and systemd during kexec reboot. Here is example of dmesg data collected after kexec: root@dplat-cp22:~# cat /sys/fs/pstore/dmesg-ramoops-0 | tail ...
