printk_deferred(), similarly to printk_safe/printk_nmi, does not
immediately attempt to print a new message on the consoles, avoiding
calls into non-reentrant kernel paths, e.g. scheduler or timekeeping,
which potentially can deadlock the system.
Those printk() flavors, instead, rely on per-CPU flush irq_work to print
messages from safer contexts. For same reasons (recursive scheduler or
timekeeping calls) printk() uses per-CPU irq_work in order to wake up
user space syslog/kmsg readers.
However, only printk_safe/printk_nmi do make sure that per-CPU areas
have been initialised and that it's safe to modify per-CPU irq_work.
This means that, for instance, should printk_deferred() be invoked "too
early", that is before per-CPU areas are initialised, printk_deferred()
will perform illegal per-CPU access.
Lech Perczak [0] reports that after commit 1b710b1b10 ("char/random:
silence a lockdep splat with printk()") user-space syslog/kmsg readers
are not able to read new kernel messages.
The reason is printk_deferred() being called too early (as was pointed
out by Petr and John).
Fix printk_deferred() and do not queue per-CPU irq_work before per-CPU
areas are initialized.

There are only two callers that use the returned code from
unregister_console():
- unregister_early_console() in arch/m68k/kernel/early_printk.c
- kgdb_unregister_nmi_console() in drivers/tty/serial/kgdb_nmi.c
They both expect to get "0" on success and a non-zero value on error.
But the current behavior is confusing and buggy:
- _braille_unregister_console() returns "1" on success
- unregister_console() returns "1" on error
Fix and clean up the behavior:
- Return success when _braille_unregister_console() succeeded
- Return a meaningful error code when the console was
not registered before

Commit f92b070f2d ("printk: Do not miss new messages when replaying
the log") introduced a new variable @exclusive_console_stop_seq to
store when an exclusive console should stop printing. It should be
set to the @console_seq value at registration. However, @console_seq
is previously set to @syslog_seq so that the exclusive console knows
where to begin. This results in the exclusive console immediately
reactivating all the other consoles and thus repeating the messages
for those consoles.
Set @console_seq after @exclusive_console_stop_seq has stored the
current @console_seq value.

Pull irq updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Most of the IRQ subsystem changes in this cycle were irq-chip driver
updates:
- Qualcomm PDC wakeup interrupt support
- Layerscape external IRQ support
- Broadcom bcm7038 PM and wakeup support
- Ingenic driver cleanup and modernization
- GICv3 ITS preparation for GICv4.1 updates
- GICv4 fixes
There's also the series from Frederic Weisbecker that fixes memory
ordering bugs for the irq-work logic, whose primary fix is to turn
work->irq_work.flags into an atomic variable and then convert the
complex (and buggy) atomic_cmpxchg() loop in irq_work_claim() into a
much simpler atomic_fetch_or() call.
There are also various smaller cleanups"

kmsg_dump_get_buffer() is supposed to select all the youngest log
messages which fit into the provided buffer. It determines the correct
start index by using msg_print_text() with a NULL buffer to calculate
the size of each entry. However, when performing the actual writes,
msg_print_text() only writes the entry to the buffer if the written len
is lesser than the size of the buffer. So if the lengths of the
selected youngest log messages happen to precisely fill up the provided
buffer, the last log message is not included.
We don't want to modify msg_print_text() to fill up the buffer and start
returning a length which is equal to the size of the buffer, since
callers of its other users, such as kmsg_dump_get_line(), depend upon
the current behaviour.
Instead, fix kmsg_dump_get_buffer() to compensate for this.
For example, with the following two final prints:
[ 6.427502] AAAAAAAAAAAAA
[ 6.427769] BBBBBBBB12345

When kernel panic happens, it will first print the panic call stack,
then the ending msg like:
[ 35.743249] ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
[ 35.749975] ------------[ cut here ]------------
The above message are very useful for debugging.
But if system is configured to not reboot on panic, say the
"panic_timeout" parameter equals 0, it will likely print out many noisy
message like WARN() call stack for each and every CPU except the panic
one, messages like below:
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 280 at kernel/sched/core.c:1198 set_task_cpu+0x183/0x190
Call Trace:
<IRQ>
try_to_wake_up
default_wake_function
autoremove_wake_function
__wake_up_common
__wake_up_common_lock
__wake_up
wake_up_klogd_work_func
irq_work_run_list
irq_work_tick
update_process_times
tick_sched_timer
__hrtimer_run_queues
hrtimer_interrupt
smp_apic_timer_interrupt
apic_timer_interrupt
For people working in console mode, the screen will first show the panic
call stack, but immediately overridden by these noisy extra messages,
which makes debugging much more difficult, as the original context gets
lost on screen.
Also these noisy messages will confuse some users, as I have seen many bug
reporters posted the noisy message into bugzilla, instead of the real
panic call stack and context.
Adding a flag "suppress_printk" which gets set in panic() to avoid those
noisy messages, without changing current kernel behavior that both panic
blinking and sysrq magic key can work as is, suggested by Petr Mladek.
To verify this, make sure kernel is not configured to reboot on panic and
in console
# echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger
to see if console only prints out the panic call stack.

When thread1 called printk() which did not end with '\n', and then thread2
called printk() which ends with '\n' before thread1 calls pr_cont(), the
partial content saved into "struct cont" is flushed by thread2 despite the
partial content was generated by thread1. This leads to confusing output
as if the partial content was generated by thread2. Fix this problem by
