Commit f0e386ee0c0b ("printk: fix buffer overflow potential for
print_text()") added string termination in record_print_text().
However it used the wrong base pointer for adding the terminator.
This led to a 0-byte being written somewhere beyond the buffer.

Use the correct base pointer when adding the terminator.

Before the commit 896fbe20b4e2333fb55 ("printk: use the lockless
ringbuffer"), msg_print_text() would only write up to size-1 bytes
into the provided buffer. Some callers expect this behavior and
append a terminator to returned string. In particular:

arch/powerpc/xmon/xmon.c:dump_log_buf()
arch/um/kernel/kmsg_dump.c:kmsg_dumper_stdout()

msg_print_text() has been replaced by record_print_text(), which
currently fills the full size of the buffer. This causes a
buffer overflow for the above callers.

Change record_print_text() so that it will only use size-1 bytes
for text data. Also, for paranoia sakes, add a terminator after
the text data.

And finally, document this behavior so that it is clear that only
size-1 bytes are used and a terminator is added.

kmsg_dump_get_buffer() uses @syslog to determine if the syslog
prefix should be written to the buffer. However, when calculating
the maximum number of records that can fit into the buffer, it
always counts the bytes from the syslog prefix.

Use @syslog when calculating the maximum number of records that can
fit into the buffer.

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:

 - Finally allow parallel writes and reads into/from the lockless
   ringbuffer. But it is not a complete solution. Readers are still
   serialized against each other. And nested writes are still prevented
   by printk_safe per-CPU buffers.

 - Use ttynull as the ultimate fallback for /dev/console.

 - Officially allow disabling console output by using console="" or
   console=null

 - A few code cleanups

<title>printk: remove logbuf_lock writer-protection of ringbuffer</title>

<id>b031a684bfd01d633c79d281bd0cf11c2f834ada</id>
<content type='text'>
Since the ringbuffer is lockless, there is no need for it to be
protected by @logbuf_lock. Remove @logbuf_lock writer-protection of
the ringbuffer. The reader-protection is not removed because some
variables, used by readers, are using @logbuf_lock for synchronization:
@syslog_seq, @syslog_time, @syslog_partial, @console_seq,
struct kmsg_dumper.

For PRINTK_NMI_DIRECT_CONTEXT_MASK, @logbuf_lock usage is not removed
because it may be used for dumper synchronization.

Without @logbuf_lock synchronization of vprintk_store() it is no
longer possible to use the single static buffer for temporarily
sprint'ing the message. Instead, use vsnprintf() to determine the
length and perform the real vscnprintf() using the area reserved from
the ringbuffer. This leads to suboptimal packing of the message data,
but will result in less wasted storage than multiple per-cpu buffers
to support lockless temporary sprint'ing.
