2024-06-25T05:58:10+00:00

This reverts commit f03e8c1060f86c23eb49bafee99d9fcbd1c1bd77.

Let's roll back all of the serial core and printk console changes that
went into 6.10-rc1 as there still are problems with them that need to be
sorted out.

printk: cleanup deprecated uses of strncpy/strcpy

2024-05-07T08:41:51+00:00

Cleanup some deprecated uses of strncpy() and strcpy() [1].

There doesn't seem to be any bugs with the current code but the
readability of this code could benefit from a quick makeover while
removing some deprecated stuff as a benefit.

The most interesting replacement made in this patch involves
concatenating "ttyS" with a digit-led user-supplied string. Instead of
doing two distinct string copies with carefully managed offsets and
lengths, let's use the more robust and self-explanatory scnprintf().
scnprintf will 1) respect the bounds of @buf, 2) null-terminate @buf, 3)
do the concatenation. This allows us to drop the manual NUL-byte assignment.

Also, since isdigit() is used about a dozen lines after the open-coded
version we'll replace it for uniformity's sake.

All the strcpy() --> strscpy() replacements are trivial as the source
strings are literals and much smaller than the destination size. No
behavioral change here.

Use the new 2-argument version of strscpy() introduced in Commit
e6584c3964f2f ("string: Allow 2-argument strscpy()"). However, to make
this work fully (since the size must be known at compile time), also
update the extern-qualified declaration to have the proper size
information.

printk: Add function to replay kernel log on consoles

2024-04-11T12:22:52+00:00

Add a generic function console_replay_all() for replaying
the kernel log on consoles, in any context. It would allow
viewing the logs on an unresponsive terminal via sysrq.

Reuse the existing code from console_flush_on_panic() for
resetting the sequence numbers, by introducing a new helper
function __console_rewind_all(). It is safe to be called
under console_lock().

Try to acquire lock on the console subsystem without waiting.
If successful, reset the sequence number to oldest available
record on all consoles and call console_unlock() which will
automatically flush the messages to the consoles.

printk: Flag register_console() if console is set on command line

2024-04-09T13:30:13+00:00

If add_preferred_console() is not called early in setup_console(), we can
end up having register_console() call try_enable_default_console() before a
console device has called add_preferred_console().

Let's set console_set_on_cmdline flag in console_setup() to prevent this
from happening.

printk: Don't try to parse DEVNAME:0.0 console options

2024-04-09T13:30:13+00:00

Currently console_setup() tries to make a console index out of any digits
passed in the kernel command line for console. In the DEVNAME:0.0 case,
the name can contain a device IO address, so bail out on console names
with a ':'.

printk: Save console options for add_preferred_console_match()

2024-04-09T13:30:13+00:00

Driver subsystems may need to translate the preferred console name to the
character device name used. We already do some of this in console_setup()
with a few hardcoded names, but that does not scale well.

The console options are parsed early in console_setup(), and the consoles
are added with __add_preferred_console(). At this point we don't know much
about the character device names and device drivers getting probed.

To allow driver subsystems to set up a preferred console, let's save the
kernel command line console options. To add a preferred console from a
driver subsystem with optional character device name translation, let's
add a new function add_preferred_console_match().

This allows the serial core layer to support console=DEVNAME:0.0 style
hardware based addressing in addition to the current console=ttyS0 style
naming. And we can start moving console_setup() character device parsing
to the driver subsystem specific code.

We use a separate array from the console_cmdline array as the character
device name and index may be unknown at the console_setup() time. And
eventually there's no need to call __add_preferred_console() until the
subsystem is ready to handle the console.

Adding the console name in addition to the character device name, and a
flag for an added console, could be added to the struct console_cmdline.
And the console_cmdline array handling could be modified accordingly. But
that complicates things compared saving the console options, and then
adding the consoles when the subsystems handling the consoles are ready.
