Linus Torvalds 563873318d Merge branch 'printk-cleanups'
Merge my system logging cleanups, triggered by the broken '\n' patches.

The line continuation handling has been broken basically forever, and
the code to handle the system log records was both confusing and
dubious.  And it would do entirely the wrong thing unless you always had
a terminating newline, partly because it couldn't actually see whether a
message was marked KERN_CONT or not (but partly because the LOG_CONT
handling in the recording code was rather confusing too).

This re-introduces a real semantically meaningful KERN_CONT, and fixes
the few places I noticed where it was missing.  There are probably more
missing cases, since KERN_CONT hasn't actually had any semantic meaning
for at least four years (other than the checkpatch meaning of "no log
level necessary, this is a continuation line").

This also allows the combination of KERN_CONT and a log level.  In that
case the log level will be ignored if the merging with a previous line
is successful, but if a new record is needed, that new record will now
get the right log level.

That also means that you can at least in theory combine KERN_CONT with
the "pr_info()" style helpers, although any use of pr_fmt() prefixing
would make that just result in a mess, of course (the prefix would end
up in the middle of a continuing line).

  printk: make reading the kernel log flush pending lines
  printk: re-organize log_output() to be more legible
  printk: split out core logging code into helper function
  printk: reinstate KERN_CONT for printing continuation lines

Linus Torvalds bfd8d3f23b printk: make reading the kernel log flush pending lines
That will mean that any possible subsequent continuation will now be
broken up onto a line of its own (since reading the log has finalized
the beginning og the line), but if user space has activated system
logging (or if there's a kernel message dump going on) that is the right
thing to do.

And now that we actually get the continuation flags _right_ for this
all, the user space logger that is reading the kernel messages can
actually see the continuation marker.  Not that anybody seems to really
bother with it (or care), but in theory user space can do its own
message stitching.

Linus Torvalds 5e467652ff printk: re-organize log_output() to be more legible
Avoid some duplicate logic now that we can return early, and update the
comments for the new LOG_CONT world order.

This also stops the continuation flushing from just using random record
flags for the flushing action, instead taking the flags from the proper
original line and updating them as we add continuations to it.

Linus Torvalds c362c7ff84 printk: split out core logging code into helper function
The code that actually decides how to log the message (whether to put it
directly into the record log, whether to append it to an existing
buffered log, or whether to start a new buffered log) is fairly
non-obvious code in the middle of the vprintk_emit() function.

Splitting that code up into a helper function makes it easier to
understand, but perhaps more importantly also allows for the code to
just return early out of the helper function once it has made the
decision about where the new log content goes.

Linus Torvalds 4bcc595ccd printk: reinstate KERN_CONT for printing continuation lines
Long long ago the kernel log buffer was a buffered stream of bytes, very
much like stdio in user space.  It supported log levels by scanning the
stream and noticing the log level markers at the beginning of each line,
but if you wanted to print a partial line in multiple chunks, you just
did multiple printk() calls, and it just automatically worked.

Except when it didn't, and you had very confusing output when different
lines got all mixed up with each other.  Then you got fragment lines
mixing with each other, or with non-fragment lines, because it was
traditionally impossible to tell whether a printk() call was a
continuation or not.

To at least help clarify the issue of continuation lines, we added a
KERN_CONT marker back in 2007 to mark continuation lines:

  4749252776 ("printk: add KERN_CONT annotation").

That continuation marker was initially an empty string, and didn't
actuall make any semantic difference.  But it at least made it possible
to annotate the source code, and have check-patch notice that a printk()
didn't need or want a log level marker, because it was a continuation of
a previous line.

To avoid the ambiguity between a continuation line that had that
KERN_CONT marker, and a printk with no level information at all, we then
in 2009 made KERN_CONT be a real log level marker which meant that we
could now reliably tell the difference between the two cases.

  5fd29d6ccb ("printk: clean up handling of log-levels and newlines")

and we could take advantage of that to make sure we didn't mix up
continuation lines with lines that just didn't have any loglevel at all.

Then, in 2012, the kernel log buffer was changed to be a "record" based
log, where each line was a record that has a loglevel and a timestamp.

You can see the beginning of that conversion in commits

  e11fea92e1 ("kmsg: export printk records to the /dev/kmsg interface")
  7ff9554bb5 ("printk: convert byte-buffer to variable-length record buffer")

with a number of follow-up commits to fix some painful fallout from that
conversion.  Over all, it took a couple of months to sort out most of
it.  But the upside was that you could have concurrent readers (and
writers) of the kernel log and not have lines with mixed output in them.

And one particular pain-point for the record-based kernel logging was
exactly the fragmentary lines that are generated in smaller chunks.  In
order to still log them as one recrod, the continuation lines need to be
attached to the previous record properly.

However the explicit continuation record marker that is actually useful
for this exact case was actually removed in aroundm the same time by commit

  61e99ab8e3 ("printk: remove the now unnecessary "C" annotation for KERN_CONT")

due to the incorrect belief that KERN_CONT wasn't meaningful.  The
ambiguity between "is this a continuation line" or "is this a plain
printk with no log level information" was reintroduced, and in fact
became an even bigger pain point because there was now the whole
record-level merging of kernel messages going on.

This patch reinstates the KERN_CONT as a real non-empty string marker,
so that the ambiguity is fixed once again.

But it's not a plain revert of that original removal: in the four years
since we made KERN_CONT an empty string again, not only has the format
of the log level markers changed, we've also had some usage changes in
this area.

For example, some ACPI code seems to use KERN_CONT _together_ with a log
level, and now uses both the KERN_CONT marker and (for example) a
KERN_INFO marker to show that it's an informational continuation of a
line.

Which is actually not a bad idea - if the continuation line cannot be
attached to its predecessor, without the log level information we don't
know what log level to assign to it (and we traditionally just assigned
it the default loglevel).  So having both a log level and the KERN_CONT
marker is not necessarily a bad idea, but it does mean that we need to
actually iterate over potentially multiple markers, rather than just a
single one.

Also, since KERN_CONT was still conceptually needed, and encouraged, but
didn't actually _do_ anything, we've also had the reverse problem:
rather than having too many annotations it has too few, and there is bit
rot with code that no longer marks the continuation lines with the
KERN_CONT marker.

So this patch not only re-instates the non-empty KERN_CONT marker, it
also fixes up the cases of bit-rot I noticed in my own logs.

There are probably other cases where KERN_CONT will be needed to be
added, either because it is new code that never dealt with the need for
KERN_CONT, or old code that has bitrotted without anybody noticing.

That said, we should strive to avoid the need for KERN_CONT.  It does
result in real problems for logging, and should generally not be seen as
a good feature.  If we some day can get rid of the feature entirely,
because nobody does any fragmented printk calls, that would be lovely.

But until that point, let's at mark the code that relies on the hacky
multi-fragment kernel printk's.  Not only does it avoid the ambiguity,
it also annotates code as "maybe this would be good to fix some day".

(That said, particularly during single-threaded bootup, the downsides of
KERN_CONT are very limited.  Things get much hairier when you have
multiple threads going on and user level reading and writing logs too).

Dave Hansen d4b05923f5 x86/pkeys: Make protection keys an "eager" feature
Our XSAVE features are divided into two categories: those that
generate FPU exceptions, and those that do not.  MPX and pkeys do
not generate FPU exceptions and thus can not be used lazily.  We
disable them when lazy mode is forced on.

We have a pair of masks to collect these two sets of features, but
XFEATURE_MASK_PKRU was added to the wrong mask: XFEATURE_MASK_LAZY.
Fix it by moving the feature to XFEATURE_MASK_EAGER.

Note: this only causes problem if you boot with lazy FPU mode
(eagerfpu=off) which is *not* the default.  It also only affects
hardware which is not currently publicly available.  It looks like
eager mode is going away, but we still need this patch applied
to any kernel that has protection keys and lazy mode, which is 4.6
through 4.8 at this point, and 4.9 if the lazy removal isn't sent
to Linus for 4.9.
