[PATCH] add ignore_loglevel boot option

2006-12-07T16:39:47Z

Sometimes the kernel prints something interesting while userspace bootup keeps messages turned off via loglevel. Enable the printing of /all/ kernel messages via the "ignore_loglevel" boot option. Off by default. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] remove EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL'ed symbols

2006-12-07T16:39:44Z

In time for 2.6.20, we can get rid of this junk. Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] remove the syslog interface when printk is disabled

2006-12-07T16:39:38Z

Attempts to read() from the non-existent dmesg buffer will return zero and userspace tends to get stuck in a busyloop. So just remove /dev/kmsg altogether if CONFIG_PRINTK=n. Signed-off-by: Mike Galbraith Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] Add printk_timed_ratelimit()

2006-11-03T20:27:58Z

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.

[PATCH] lockdep: fix printk recursion logic

2006-10-11T18:14:24Z

Bug reported and fixed by Tilman Schmidt : 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.

[PATCH] PM: make it possible to disable console suspending

2006-09-26T15:49:03Z

Change suspend_console() so that it waits for all consoles to flush the remaining messages and make it possible to switch the console suspending off with the help of a Kconfig option.

[PATCH] vt: printk: Fix framebuffer console triggering might_sleep assertion

2006-08-06T15:57:47Z

Reported by: Dave Jones Whilst printk'ing to both console and serial console, I got this... (2.6.18rc1) BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/sched.c:4438 in_atomic():0, irqs_disabled():1 Call Trace: [] show_trace+0xaa/0x23d [] dump_stack+0x15/0x17 [] __might_sleep+0xb2/0xb4 [] __cond_resched+0x15/0x55 [] cond_resched+0x3b/0x42 [] console_conditional_schedule+0x12/0x14 [] fbcon_redraw+0xf6/0x160 [] fbcon_scroll+0x5d9/0xb52 [] scrup+0x6b/0xd6 [] lf+0x24/0x44 [] vt_console_print+0x166/0x23d [] __call_console_drivers+0x65/0x76 [] _call_console_drivers+0x5e/0x62 [] release_console_sem+0x14b/0x232 [] fb_flashcursor+0x279/0x2a6 [] run_workqueue+0xa8/0xfb [] worker_thread+0xef/0x122 [] kthread+0x100/0x136 [] child_rip+0x8/0x12 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. Signed-off-by: Antonino Daplas Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
