pstore/platform: Disable automatic updates by default Having automatic updates seems pointless for production system, and even dangerous and thus counter-productive: 1. If we can mount pstore, or read files, we can as well read /proc/kmsg. So, there's little point in duplicating the functionality and present the same information but via another userland ABI; 2. Expecting the kernel to behave sanely after oops/panic is naive. It might work, but you'd rather not try it. Screwed up kernel can do rather bad things, like recursive faults[1]; and pstore rather provoking bad things to happen. It uses: 1. Timers (assumes sane interrupts state); 2. Workqueues and mutexes (assumes scheduler in a sane state); 3. kzalloc (a working slab allocator); That's too much for a dead kernel, so the debugging facility itself might just make debugging harder, which is not what we want. Maybe for non-oops message types it would make sense to re-enable automatic updates, but so far I don't see any use case for this. Even for tracing, it has its own run-time/normal ABI, so we're only interested in pstore upon next boot, to retrieve what has gone wrong with HW or SW. So, let's disable the updates by default.

pstore: Avoid deadlock in panic and emergency-restart path [Issue] When pstore is in panic and emergency-restart paths, it may be blocked in those paths because it simply takes spin_lock. This is an example scenario which pstore may hang up in a panic path: - cpuA grabs psinfo->buf_lock - cpuB panics and calls smp_send_stop - smp_send_stop sends IRQ to cpuA - after 1 second, cpuB gives up on cpuA and sends an NMI instead - cpuA is now in an NMI handler while still holding buf_lock - cpuB is deadlocked This case may happen if a firmware has a bug and cpuA is stuck talking with it more than one second. Also, this is a similar scenario in an emergency-restart path: - cpuA grabs psinfo->buf_lock and stucks in a firmware - cpuB kicks emergency-restart via either sysrq-b or hangcheck timer. And then, cpuB is deadlocked by taking psinfo->buf_lock again. [Solution] This patch avoids the deadlocking issues in both panic and emergency_restart paths by introducing a function, is_non_blocking_path(), to check if a cpu can be blocked in current path. With this patch, pstore is not blocked even if another cpu has taken a spin_lock, in those paths by changing from spin_lock_irqsave to spin_trylock_irqsave. In addition, according to a comment of emergency_restart() in kernel/sys.c, spin_lock shouldn't be taken in an emergency_restart path to avoid deadlock. This patch fits the comment below. <snip> /** * emergency_restart - reboot the system * * Without shutting down any hardware or taking any locks * reboot the system.

Also, this is a similar scenario in an emergency-restart path: - cpuA grabs psinfo->buf_lock and stucks in a firmware - cpuB kicks emergency-restart via either sysrq-b or hangcheck timer. And then, cpuB is deadlocked by taking psinfo->buf_lock again. [Solution] This patch avoids the deadlocking issues in both panic and emergency_restart paths by introducing a function, is_non_blocking_path(), to check if a cpu can be blocked in current path. With this patch, pstore is not blocked even if another cpu has taken a spin_lock, in those paths by changing from spin_lock_irqsave to spin_trylock_irqsave. In addition, according to a comment of emergency_restart() in kernel/sys.c, spin_lock shouldn't be taken in an emergency_restart path to avoid deadlock. This patch fits the comment below. <snip> /** * emergency_restart - reboot the system * * Without shutting down any hardware or taking any locks * reboot the system.

But if multiple events happens in a short time, a second/third event may fail to log because efi_pstore can't distinguish each event with current variable name. [Solution] A reasonable way to identify all events precisely is introducing a sequence counter to the variable name. The sequence counter has already supported in a pstore layer with "oopscount". So, this patch adds it to a variable name. Also, it is passed to read/erase callbacks of platform drivers in accordance with the modification of the variable name. <before applying this patch> a variable name of first event: dump-type0-1-12345678 a variable name of second event: dump-type0-1-12345678 type:0 id:1 ctime:12345678 If multiple events happen in a short time, efi_pstore can't distinguish them because variable names are same among them. <after applying this patch> it can be distinguishable by adding a sequence counter as follows. a variable name of first event: dump-type0-1-1-12345678 a variable name of Second event: dump-type0-1-2-12345678 type:0 id:1 sequence counter: 1(first event), 2(second event) ctime:12345678 In case of a write callback executed in pstore_console_write(), "0" is added to an argument of the write callback because it just logs all kernel messages and doesn't need to care about multiple events.

out:
pstore: pass allocated memory region back to caller The buf_lock cannot be held while populating the inodes, so make the backend pass forward an allocated and filled buffer instead. This solves the following backtrace. The effect is that "buf" is only ever used to notify the backends that something was written to it, and shouldn't be used in the read path. To replace the buf_lock during the read path, isolate the open/read/close loop with a separate mutex to maintain serialized access to the backend. Note that is is up to the pstore backend to cope if the (*write)() path is called in the middle of the read path.
