memblock: drop memblock_alloc_*_nopanic() variants

2019-03-12T17:04:02Z

As all the memblock allocation functions return NULL in case of error rather than panic(), the duplicates with _nopanic suffix can be removed.

printk: Remove no longer used LOG_PREFIX.

2019-03-04T12:42:05Z

When commit 5becfb1df5ac8e49 ("kmsg: merge continuation records while printing") introduced LOG_PREFIX, we used KERN_DEFAULT etc. as a flag for setting LOG_PREFIX in order to tell whether to call cont_add() (i.e. whether to append the message to "struct cont"). But since commit 4bcc595ccd80decb ("printk: reinstate KERN_CONT for printing continuation lines") inverted the behavior (i.e. don't append the message to "struct cont" unless KERN_CONT is specified) and commit 5aa068ea4082b39e ("printk: remove games with previous record flags") removed the last LOG_PREFIX check, setting LOG_PREFIX via KERN_DEFAULT etc. is no longer meaningful. Therefore, we can remove LOG_PREFIX and make KERN_DEFAULT empty string.

printk: Pass caller information to log_store().

2019-02-21T09:41:15Z

When thread1 called printk() which did not end with '\n', and then thread2 called printk() which ends with '\n' before thread1 calls pr_cont(), the partial content saved into "struct cont" is flushed by thread2 despite the partial content was generated by thread1. This leads to confusing output as if the partial content was generated by thread2. Fix this problem by passing correct caller information to log_store().

Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function

2019-01-04T02:57:57Z

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand. It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact. A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's just get this done once and for all. This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form. There were a couple of notable cases: - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias. - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing really used it) - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch. I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

printk: Add caller information to printk() output.

2018-12-18T09:53:14Z

Sometimes we want to print a series of printk() messages to consoles without being disturbed by concurrent printk() from interrupts and/or other threads. But we can't enforce printk() callers to use their local buffers because we need to ask them to make too much changes. Also, even buffering up to one line inside printk() might cause failing to emit an important clue under critical situation. Therefore, instead of trying to help buffering, let's try to help reconstructing messages by saving caller information as of calling log_store() and adding it as "[T$thread_id]" or "[C$processor_id]" upon printing to consoles. Some examples for console output: [ 1.222773][ T1] x86: Booting SMP configuration: [ 2.779635][ T1] pci 0000:00:01.0: PCI bridge to [bus 01] [ 5.069193][ T268] Fusion MPT base driver 3.04.20 [ 9.316504][ C2] random: fast init done [ 13.413336][ T3355] Initialized host personality Some examples for /dev/kmsg output: 6,496,1222773,-,caller=T1;x86: Booting SMP configuration: 6,968,2779635,-,caller=T1;pci 0000:00:01.0: PCI bridge to [bus 01] SUBSYSTEM=pci DEVICE=+pci:0000:00:01.0 6,1353,5069193,-,caller=T268;Fusion MPT base driver 3.04.20 5,1526,9316504,-,caller=C2;random: fast init done 6,1575,13413336,-,caller=T3355;Initialized host personality Note that this patch changes max length of messages which can be printed by printk() or written to /dev/kmsg interface from 992 bytes to 976 bytes, based on an assumption that userspace won't try to write messages hitting that border line to /dev/kmsg interface.
