Subject[PATCHv7 6/8] printk: use printk_safe buffers in printk
Date
Use printk_safe per-CPU buffers in printk recursion-prone blocks:
-- around logbuf_lock protected sections in vprintk_emit() and
console_unlock()
-- around down_trylock_console_sem() and up_console_sem()

Note that this solution addresses deadlocks caused by printk()
recursive calls only. That is vprintk_emit() and console_unlock().
The rest will be converted in a followup patch.

Another thing to note is that we now keep lockdep enabled in printk,
because we are protected against the printk recursion caused by
lockdep in vprintk_emit() by the printk-safe mechanism - we first
switch to per-CPU buffers and only then access the deadlock-prone
locks.

Examples:

1) printk() from logbuf_lock spin_lock section

Assume the following code:
printk()
raw_spin_lock(&logbuf_lock);
WARN_ON(1);
raw_spin_unlock(&logbuf_lock);

which now produces:

------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 366 at kernel/printk/printk.c:1811 vprintk_emit

vprintk_emit+0x1cd/0x438
vprintk_default+0x1d/0x1f
printk+0x48/0x50
[..]

2) printk() from semaphore sem->lock spin_lock section

Assume the following code

printk()
console_trylock()
down_trylock()
raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&sem->lock, flags);
WARN_ON(1);
raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&sem->lock, flags);

which now produces:

------------[ cut here ]------------

vprintk_emit+0x3f9/0x414
vprintk_default+0x1d/0x1f
printk+0x48/0x50
[..]

3) printk() from console_unlock()

Assume the following code:

printk()
console_unlock()
raw_spin_lock(&logbuf_lock);
WARN_ON(1);
raw_spin_unlock(&logbuf_lock);

which now produces:

------------[ cut here ]------------

[..]

4) printk() from try_to_wake_up()

Assume the following code:

printk()
console_unlock()
up()
try_to_wake_up()
raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&p->pi_lock, flags);
WARN_ON(1);
raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&p->pi_lock, flags);

which now produces:

[..]

5) printk() from call_console_drivers()

Assume the following code:
printk()
console_unlock()
call_console_drivers()
...
WARN_ON(1);

which now produces:

------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 305 at kernel/printk/printk.c:1604 call_console_drivers

[..]

6) unsupported placeholder in printk() format now prints an actual
warning from vscnprintf(), instead of
'BUG: recent printk recursion!'.

------------[ cut here ]------------
