Subject: Re: [PATCH] printk: Userspace format enumeration support

Hi,

I would like to hear opinion from a bigger audience. It is an
userspace interface that we might need to maintain forewer.
Adding few more people in to CC:

Steven Rostedt <rostedt@...dmis.org>: printk co-maintainer
Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@...il.com>: fs/proc maintainer
Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>: sysfs maintainer
Jason Baron <jbaron@...mai.com>: dynamic_debug maintainer
Kees Cook <keescook@...omium.org>: security POV
linux-api@...r.kernel.org: Linux API mailing list

Of course, we should also ask if this is the right approach
for the think that you want to achieve.

The motivation for this patch is that the strings printed by kernels
are not reliable and you want a simple way to compare differences
bethween versions. Do I get it right?

See more comments below.

Another is that printk() is not reliable on its own. Messages might
get lost. The size of the log buffer is limited. Deamon reading
/dev/kmsg need not be scheduled in time or often enough. Console
might be slow. The messages are filtered on the console by console_loglevel.

The facility and log level are not well separated from the format string.

Also this is yet another style how the format is displayed. We already have

	+ console/syslog: formated by record_print_text()
	+ /dev/kmsg: formatted by info_print_ext_header(),  msg_print_ext_body().
	+ /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control
	+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/printk_formats

We should get some inspiration from the existing interfaces.

But we first should decide what information might be useful:

   + 'facility' should not be needed. All messages should be from
      kernel.

   + <module> is already optinaly added by pr_fmt() to the printed strings
     as:  pr_fmt(): ...

   + dynamic_debug seems to print KBUILD_MODNAME even when the module
     is built in.

   + dynamic debug also prints <source_file:line>

It should be defined after #define TRACEDATA to follow the existing
style.

But honestly I am not much familiar with the sections definitions.
I am curious why TRACE_PRINTKS() and __dyndbg are defined
a bit different way.

You probably should get inspiration from t_show() in trace_printk.c.
It handles newlines, ...

Or by ddebug_proc_show(). It uses seq_escape().

Anyway, there is something wrong at the moment. The output looks fine
with cat. But "less" says that it is a binary format and the output
is a bit messy:

$> less /proc/printk_formats 
"/proc/printk_formats" may be a binary file.  See it anyway? 
vmlinux,^A3Warning: unable to open an initial console.
^@...inux,^A3Failed to execute %s (error %d)
^@...inux,^A6Kernel memory protection disabled.
^@...inux,^A3Starting init: %s exists but couldn't execute it (error %d)


That is for now. I still have to think about it. And I am also curious
about what others thing about this idea.

Best Regards,
Petr
