Subject: [GIT PULL] printk for 5.10 (includes lockless ringbuffer)
Linus,
please pull the latest printk changes from
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux tags/printk-for-5.10
============================
- 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/87k1acz5rx.fsf@linutronix.de. 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.
=========================
The fully lockless ringbuffer code has been tested in linux-next
since Jul 10. The pr_cont() handling has been pushed in Sep 15.
I am not aware of any regression at the moment. But of course,
there will be some. And we are ready to work on the fixes.
