Merge tag 'printk-for-5.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
"The big new thing is the fully lockless ringbuffer implementation,
including the support for continuous lines. It will allow to store and
read messages in any situation wihtout the risk of deadlocks and
without the need of temporary per-CPU buffers.

The access is still serialized by logbuf_lock. It synchronizes few
more operations, for example, temporary buffer for formatting the
message, syslog and kmsg_dump operations. The lock removal is being
discussed and should be ready for the next release.

The continuous lines are handled exactly the same way as before to
avoid regressions in user space. It means that they are appended to
the last message when the caller is the same. Only the last message
can be extended.

The data ring includes plain text of the messages. Except for an
integer at the beginning of each message that points back to the
descriptor ring with other metadata.

The dictionary has to stay. journalctl uses it to filter the log. It
allows to show messages related to a given device. The dictionary
values are stored in the descriptor ring with the other metadata.

This is the first part of the printk rework as discussed at Plumbers
2019, see https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]. The
next big step will be handling consoles by kthreads during the normal
system operation. It will require special handling of situations when
the kthreads could not get scheduled, for example, early boot,
suspend, panic.

Other changes:

- Add John Ogness as a reviewer for printk subsystem. He is author of
the rework and is familiar with the code and history.

- Fix locking in serial8250_do_startup() to prevent lockdep report.

- Few code cleanups"

+ * DOC: printk_ringbuffer overview
+ *
+ * Data Structure
+ * --------------
+ * The printk_ringbuffer is made up of 3 internal ringbuffers:
+ *
+ *   desc_ring
+ *     A ring of descriptors and their meta data (such as sequence number,
+ *     timestamp, loglevel, etc.) as well as internal state information about
+ *     the record and logical positions specifying where in the other
+ *     ringbuffer the text 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.
+ *
+ * The internal state information of a descriptor is the key element to allow
+ * readers and writers to locklessly synchronize access to the data.
+ *
+ * Implementation
+ * --------------
+ *
+ * Descriptor Ring
+ * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ * The descriptor ring is an array of descriptors. A descriptor contains
+ * essential meta data to track the data of a printk record using
+ * blk_lpos structs pointing to associated text data blocks (see
+ * "Data Rings" below). Each descriptor is assigned an ID that maps
+ * directly to index values of the descriptor array and has a state. The ID
+ * and the state are bitwise combined into a single descriptor field named
+ * @state_var, allowing ID and state to be synchronously and atomically
+ * updated.
+ *
+ * Descriptors have four states:
+ *
+ *   reserved
+ *     A writer is modifying the record.
+ *
+ *   committed
+ *     The record and all its data are written. A writer can reopen the
+ *     descriptor (transitioning it back to reserved), but in the committed
+ *     state the data is consistent.
+ *
+ *   finalized
+ *     The record and all its data are complete and available for reading. A
+ *     writer cannot reopen the descriptor.
+ *
+ *   reusable
+ *     The record exists, but its text and/or meta data may no longer be
+ *     available.
+ *
+ * Querying the @state_var of a record requires providing the ID of the
+ * descriptor to query. This can yield a possible fifth (pseudo) state:
+ *
+ *   miss
+ *     The descriptor being queried has an unexpected ID.
+ *
+ * The descriptor ring has a @tail_id that contains the ID of the oldest
+ * descriptor and @head_id that contains the ID of the newest descriptor.
+ *
+ * When a new descriptor should be created (and the ring is full), the tail
+ * descriptor is invalidated by first transitioning to the reusable state and
+ * then invalidating all tail data blocks up to and including the data blocks
+ * associated with the tail descriptor (for the text ring). Then
+ * @tail_id is advanced, followed by advancing @head_id. And finally the
+ * @state_var of the new descriptor is initialized to the new ID and reserved
+ * state.
+ *
+ * The @tail_id can only be advanced if the new @tail_id would be in the
+ * committed or reusable queried state. This makes it possible that a valid
+ * sequence number of the tail is always available.
+ *
+ * Descriptor Finalization
+ * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ * When a writer calls the commit function prb_commit(), record data is
+ * fully stored and is consistent within the ringbuffer. However, a writer can
+ * reopen that record, claiming exclusive access (as with prb_reserve()), and
+ * modify that record. When finished, the writer must again commit the record.
+ *
+ * In order for a record to be made available to readers (and also become
+ * recyclable for writers), it must be finalized. A finalized record cannot be
+ * reopened and can never become "unfinalized". Record finalization can occur
+ * in three different scenarios:
+ *
+ *   1) A writer can simultaneously commit and finalize its record by calling
+ *      prb_final_commit() instead of prb_commit().
+ *
+ *   2) When a new record is reserved and the previous record has been
+ *      committed via prb_commit(), that previous record is automatically
+ *      finalized.
+ *
+ *   3) When a record is committed via prb_commit() and a newer record
+ *      already exists, the record being committed is automatically finalized.
+ *
+ * Data Ring
+ * ~~~~~~~~~
+ * The text data ring is a byte array composed of data blocks. Data blocks are
+ * referenced by blk_lpos structs that point to the logical position of the
+ * beginning of a data block and the beginning of the next adjacent data
+ * block. Logical positions are mapped directly to index values of the byte
+ * array ringbuffer.
+ *
+ * Each data block consists of an ID followed by the writer data. The ID is
+ * the identifier of a descriptor that is associated with the data block. A
+ * given data block is considered valid if all of the following conditions
+ * are met:
+ *
+ *   1) The descriptor associated with the data block is in the committed
+ *      or finalized queried state.
+ *
+ *   2) The blk_lpos struct within the descriptor associated with the data
+ *      block references back to the same data block.
+ *
+ *   3) The data block is within the head/tail logical position range.
+ *
+ * If the writer data of a data block would extend beyond the end of the
+ * byte array, only the ID of the data block is stored at the logical
+ * position and the full data block (ID and writer data) is stored at the
+ * beginning of the byte array. The referencing blk_lpos will point to the
+ * ID before the wrap and the next data block will be at the logical
+ * position adjacent the full data block after the wrap.
+ *
+ * Data rings have a @tail_lpos that points to the beginning of the oldest
+ * data block and a @head_lpos that points to the logical position of the
+ * next (not yet existing) data block.
+ *
+ * When a new data block should be created (and the ring is full), tail data
+ * blocks will first be invalidated by putting their associated descriptors
+ * into the reusable state and then pushing the @tail_lpos forward beyond
+ * them. Then the @head_lpos is pushed forward and is associated with a new
+ * descriptor. If a data block is not valid, the @tail_lpos cannot be
+ * advanced beyond it.
+ *
+ * Info Array
+ * ~~~~~~~~~~
+ * The general meta data of printk records are stored in printk_info structs,
+ * stored in an array with the same number of elements as the descriptor ring.
+ * Each info corresponds to the descriptor of the same index in the
+ * descriptor ring. Info validity is confirmed by evaluating the corresponding
+ * descriptor before and after loading the info.
+ *
+ * Usage
+ * -----
+ * Here are some simple examples demonstrating writers and readers. For the
+ * examples a global ringbuffer (test_rb) is available (which is not the
+ * actual ringbuffer used by printk)::
+ *
+ *	DEFINE_PRINTKRB(test_rb, 15, 5);
+ *
+ * This ringbuffer allows up to 32768 records (2 ^ 15) and has a size of
+ * 1 MiB (2 ^ (15 + 5)) for text data.
+ *
+ * Sample writer code::
+ *
+ *	const char *textstr = "message text";
+ *	struct prb_reserved_entry e;
+ *	struct printk_record r;
+ *
+ *	// specify how much to allocate
+ *	prb_rec_init_wr(&r, strlen(textstr) + 1);
+ *
+ *	if (prb_reserve(&e, &test_rb, &r)) {
+ *		snprintf(r.text_buf, r.text_buf_size, "%s", textstr);
+ *
+ *		r.info->text_len = strlen(textstr);
+ *		r.info->ts_nsec = local_clock();
+ *		r.info->caller_id = printk_caller_id();
+ *
+ *		// commit and finalize the record
+ *		prb_final_commit(&e);
+ *	}
+ *
+ * Note that additional writer functions are available to extend a record
+ * after it has been committed but not yet finalized. This can be done as
+ * long as no new records have been reserved and the caller is the same.
+ *
+ * Sample writer code (record extending)::
+ *
+ *		// alternate rest of previous example
+ *
+ *		r.info->text_len = strlen(textstr);
+ *		r.info->ts_nsec = local_clock();
+ *		r.info->caller_id = printk_caller_id();
+ *
+ *		// commit the record (but do not finalize yet)
+ *		prb_commit(&e);
+ *	}
+ *
+ *	...
+ *
+ *	// specify additional 5 bytes text space to extend
+ *	prb_rec_init_wr(&r, 5);
+ *
+ *	// try to extend, but only if it does not exceed 32 bytes
+ *	if (prb_reserve_in_last(&e, &test_rb, &r, printk_caller_id()), 32) {
+ *		snprintf(&r.text_buf[r.info->text_len],
+ *			 r.text_buf_size - r.info->text_len, "hello");
+ *
+ *		r.info->text_len += 5;
+ *
+ *		// commit and finalize the record
+ *		prb_final_commit(&e);
+ *	}
+ *
+ * Sample reader code::
+ *
+ *	struct printk_info info;
+ *	struct printk_record r;
+ *	char text_buf[32];
+ *	u64 seq;
+ *
+ *	prb_rec_init_rd(&r, &info, &text_buf[0], sizeof(text_buf));
+ *
+ *	prb_for_each_record(0, &test_rb, &seq, &r) {
+ *		if (info.seq != seq)
+ *			pr_warn("lost %llu records\n", info.seq - seq);
+ *
+ *		if (info.text_len > r.text_buf_size) {
+ *			pr_warn("record %llu text truncated\n", info.seq);
+ *			text_buf[r.text_buf_size - 1] = 0;
+ *		}
+ *
+ *		pr_info("%llu: %llu: %s\n", info.seq, info.ts_nsec,
+ *			&text_buf[0]);
+ *	}
+ *
+ * Note that additional less convenient reader functions are available to
+ * allow complex record access.
+ *
+ * ABA Issues
+ * ~~~~~~~~~~
+ * To help avoid ABA issues, descriptors are referenced by IDs (array index
+ * values combined with tagged bits counting array wraps) and data blocks are
+ * referenced by logical positions (array index values combined with tagged
+ * bits counting array wraps). However, on 32-bit systems the number of
+ * tagged bits is relatively small such that an ABA incident is (at least
+ * theoretically) possible. For example, if 4 million maximally sized (1KiB)
+ * printk messages were to occur in NMI context on a 32-bit system, the
+ * interrupted context would not be able to recognize that the 32-bit integer
+ * completely wrapped and thus represents a different data block than the one
+ * the interrupted context expects.

+ * Memory Barriers
+ * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ * Multiple memory barriers are used. To simplify proving correctness and
+ * generating litmus tests, lines of code related to memory barriers
+ * (loads, stores, and the associated memory barriers) are labeled::
+ *
+ *	LMM(function:letter)
+ *
+ * Comments reference the labels using only the "function:letter" part.
+ *
+ * The memory barrier pairs and their ordering are:
+ *
+ *   desc_reserve:D / desc_reserve:B
+ *     push descriptor tail (id), then push descriptor head (id)
+ *
+ *   desc_reserve:D / data_push_tail:B

+ *     push descriptor tail (id), then set new descriptor reserved (state)
+ *
+ *   desc_reserve:F / desc_read:D
+ *     set new descriptor id and reserved (state), then allow writer changes
+ *

+ *
+ *   data_alloc:A (or data_realloc:A) / data_push_tail:B

+ * Descriptor Bootstrap
+ *
+ * The descriptor array is minimally initialized to allow immediate usage
+ * by readers and writers. The requirements that the descriptor array
+ * initialization must satisfy:
+ *
+ *   Req1
+ *     The tail must point to an existing (committed or reusable) descriptor.
+ *     This is required by the implementation of prb_first_seq().
+ *
+ *   Req2
+ *     Readers must see that the ringbuffer is initially empty.
+ *
+ *   Req3
+ *     The first record reserved by a writer is assigned sequence number 0.
+ *
+ * To satisfy Req1, the tail initially points to a descriptor that is
+ * minimally initialized (having no data block, i.e. data-less with the
+ * data block's lpos @begin and @next values set to FAILED_LPOS).
+ *
+ * To satisfy Req2, the initial tail descriptor is initialized to the
+ * reusable state. Readers recognize reusable descriptors as existing
+ * records, but skip over them.
+ *
+ * To satisfy Req3, the last descriptor in the array is used as the initial
+ * head (and tail) descriptor. This allows the first record reserved by a
+ * writer (head + 1) to be the first descriptor in the array. (Only the first
+ * descriptor in the array could have a valid sequence number of 0.)
+ *
+ * The first time a descriptor is reserved, it is assigned a sequence number
+ * with the value of the array index. A "first time reserved" descriptor can
+ * be recognized because it has a sequence number of 0 but does not have an
+ * index of 0. (Only the first descriptor in the array could have a valid
+ * sequence number of 0.) After the first reservation, all future reservations
+ * (recycling) simply involve incrementing the sequence number by the array
+ * count.
+ *
+ *   Hack #1
+ *     Only the first descriptor in the array is allowed to have the sequence
+ *     number 0. In this case it is not possible to recognize if it is being
+ *     reserved the first time (set to index value) or has been reserved
+ *     previously (increment by the array count). This is handled by _always_
+ *     incrementing the sequence number by the array count when reserving the
+ *     first descriptor in the array. In order to satisfy Req3, the sequence
+ *     number of the first descriptor in the array is initialized to minus
+ *     the array count. Then, upon the first reservation, it is incremented
+ *     to 0, thus satisfying Req3.
+ *
+ *   Hack #2
+ *     prb_first_seq() can be called at any time by readers to retrieve the
+ *     sequence number of the tail descriptor. However, due to Req2 and Req3,
+ *     initially there are no records to report the sequence number of
+ *     (sequence numbers are u64 and there is nothing less than 0). To handle
+ *     this, the sequence number of the initial tail descriptor is initialized
+ *     to 0. Technically this is incorrect, because there is no record with
+ *     sequence number 0 (yet) and the tail descriptor is not the first
+ *     descriptor in the array. But it allows prb_read_valid() to correctly
+ *     report the existence of a record for _any_ given sequence number at all
+ *     times. Bootstrapping is complete when the tail is pushed the first
+ *     time, thus finally pointing to the first descriptor reserved by a
+ *     writer, which has the assigned sequence number 0.
