403f307576 PM: Fix suspend_console and resume_console to use only one semaphore
This fixes a race where a thread acquires the console while the
console is suspended, and the console is resumed before this
thread releases it. In this case, the secondary console
semaphore would be left locked, and the primary semaphore would
be released twice. This in turn would cause the console switch
on suspend or resume to hang forever.

Note that suspend_console does not actually lock the console
for clients that use acquire_console_sem, it only locks it for
clients that use try_acquire_console_sem. If we change
suspend_console to fully lock the console, then the kernel
may deadlock on suspend. One client of try_acquire_console_sem
is acquire_console_semaphore_for_printk, which uses it to
prevent printk from using the console while it is suspended.

26cc271db7 printk: fix discarding message when recursion_bug
Impact: fix truncated recursion bug message printout

When recursion_bug is true, kernel discards original message because printk_buf
contains recursion_bug_msg with NULL terminator. The sizeof(recursion_bug_msg)
makes this, use strlen() to get correct length without NULL terminator.

717115e1a5 printk ratelimiting rewrite
All ratelimit user use same jiffies and burst params, so some messages
(callbacks) will be lost.

For example:
a call printk_ratelimit(5 * HZ, 1)
b call printk_ratelimit(5 * HZ, 1) before the 5*HZ timeout of a, then b will
will be supressed.

- rewrite __ratelimit, and use a ratelimit_state as parameter.  Thanks for
  hints from andrew.

- Add WARN_ON_RATELIMIT, update rcupreempt.h

- remove __printk_ratelimit

- use __ratelimit in net_ratelimit

9e124fe16f xen: Enable console tty by default in domU if it's not a dummy
Without console= arguments on the kernel command line, the first
console to register becomes enabled and the preferred console (the one
behind /dev/console).  This is normally tty (assuming
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is enabled, which it commonly is).

This is okay as long tty is a useful console.  But unless we have the
PV framebuffer, and it is enabled for this domain, tty0 in domU is
merely a dummy.  In that case, we want the preferred console to be the
Xen console hvc0, and we want it without having to fiddle with the
kernel command line.  Commit b8c2d3dfbc
did that for us.

Since we now have the PV framebuffer, we want to enable and prefer tty
again, but only when PVFB is enabled.  But even then we still want to
enable the Xen console as well.

Problem: when tty registers, we can't yet know whether the PVFB is
enabled.  By the time we can know (xenstore is up), the console setup
game is over.

Solution: enable console tty by default, but keep hvc as the preferred
console.  Change the preferred console to tty when PVFB probes
successfully, unless we've been given console kernel parameters.

cd3a1b8562 printk: don't prefer unsuited consoles on registration
console election: If some console happens to be registered first which does
not provide a tty binding (!console->device), it prevents that more suited
consoles which are registered later on can enter the candidate pool for
console_device().  This is observable with KGDB's console which may already
be registered (and exploited!) during early debugger connections, that is
before any regular console registration.

This patch fixes the issue by postponing the final, automated
preferred_console selection until someone with a non-NULL device handler
comes around.

81d68a96a3 ftrace: trace irq disabled critical timings
This patch adds latency tracing for critical timings
(how long interrupts are disabled for).

 "irqsoff" is added to /debugfs/tracing/available_tracers

Note:
  tracing_max_latency
    also holds the max latency for irqsoff (in usecs).
   (default to large number so one must start latency tracing)

  tracing_thresh
    threshold (in usecs) to always print out if irqs off
    is detected to be longer than stated here.
    If irq_thresh is non-zero, then max_irq_latency
    is ignored.

Here's an example of a trace with ftrace_enabled = 0

f34d7a5b70 tty: The big operations rework
- Operations are now a shared const function block as with most other Linux
  objects

- Introduce wrappers for some optional functions to get consistent behaviour

- Wrap put_char which used to be patched by the tty layer

- Document which functions are needed/optional

- Make put_char report success/fail

- Cache the driver->ops pointer in the tty as tty->ops

- Remove various surplus lock calls we no longer need

- Remove proc_write method as noted by Alexey Dobriyan

- Introduce some missing sanity checks where certain driver/ldisc
  combinations would oops as they didn't check needed methods were present

093a07e2fd Fix locking bug in "acquire_console_semaphore_for_printk()"
When I cleaned up printk() and split up the printk locking logic in
commit 266c2e0abe ("Make printk() console
semaphore accesses sensible") I had incorrectly moved the call to
have_callable_console() outside of the console semaphore.

That was buggy.  The console semaphore protects the console_drivers list
that is used by have_callable_console().

Thanks go to Bongani Hlope who saw this as a hang on shutdown and reboot
and bisected the bug to the right commit, and tested this patch. See

266c2e0abe Make printk() console semaphore accesses sensible
The printk() logic on when/how to get the console semaphore was
unreadable, this splits the code up into a few helper functions and
makes it easier to follow what is going on.

cf3680b90c printk: fix possible printk overrun
printk recursion detection prepends message to printk_buf and offsets
printk_buf when actual message is printed but it forgets to trim buffer
length accordingly. This can result in overrun in extreme cases. Fix it.

eed4a2aba7 printk.c: use unsigned ints instead of longs for logbuf index
Stop using unsigned _longs_ for printk buffer indexes.  Log buffer is way
smaller than 2 gigabytes and unsigned ints will work too .  Indeed, they do
work nicely on all 32-bit platforms where longs and ints are the same.

With this patch, we have following size savings on amd64:

printk timestamps: use ktime_get().

Some platforms have a functioning clocksource function only after
they are done with early bootup, so delay this until out of
SYSTEM_BOOTING state.

it's also inherently safe now, as any bugs in this area will be
caught by the printk recursion checks.
