Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel…

…/git/pmladek/printk

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:

 - Add a console_msg_format command line option:

     The value "default" keeps the old "[time stamp] text\n" format. The
     value "syslog" allows to see the syslog-like "<log
     level>[timestamp] text" format.

     This feature was requested by people doing regression tests, for
     example, 0day robot. They want to have both filtered and full logs
     at hands.

 - Reduce the risk of softlockup:

     Pass the console owner in a busy loop.

     This is a new approach to the old problem. It was first proposed by
     Steven Rostedt on Kernel Summit 2017. It marks a context in which
     the console_lock owner calls console drivers and could not sleep.
     On the other side, printk() callers could detect this state and use
     a busy wait instead of a simple console_trylock(). Finally, the
     console_lock owner checks if there is a busy waiter at the end of
     the special context and eventually passes the console_lock to the
     waiter.

     The hand-off works surprisingly well and helps in many situations.
     Well, there is still a possibility of the softlockup, for example,
     when the flood of messages stops and the last owner still has too
     much to flush.

     There is increasing number of people having problems with
     printk-related softlockups. We might eventually need to get better
     solution. Anyway, this looks like a good start and promising
     direction.

 - Do not allow to schedule in console_unlock() called from printk():

     This reverts an older controversial commit. The reschedule helped
     to avoid softlockups. But it also slowed down the console output.
     This patch is obsoleted by the new console waiter logic described
     above. In fact, the reschedule made the hand-off less effective.

 - Deprecate "%pf" and "%pF" format specifier:

     It was needed on ia64, ppc64 and parisc64 to dereference function
     descriptors and show the real function address. It is done
     transparently by "%ps" and "pS" format specifier now.

     Sergey Senozhatsky found that all the function descriptors were in
     a special elf section and could be easily detected.

 - Remove printk_symbol() API:

     It has been obsoleted by "%pS" format specifier, and this change
     helped to remove few continuous lines and a less intuitive old API.

 - Remove redundant memsets:

     Sergey removed unnecessary memset when processing printk.devkmsg
     command line option.

-The ``F`` and ``f`` specifiers are for printing function pointers,
-for example, f->func, &gettimeofday. They have the same result as
-``S`` and ``s`` specifiers. But they do an extra conversion on
-ia64, ppc64 and parisc64 architectures where the function pointers
-are actually function descriptors.
+The ``S`` and ``s`` specifiers are used for printing a pointer in symbolic
+format. They result in the symbol name with (S) or without (s)
+offsets. If KALLSYMS are disabled then the symbol address is printed instead.
 
-The ``S`` and ``s`` specifiers can be used for printing symbols
-from direct addresses, for example, __builtin_return_address(0),
-(void *)regs->ip. They result in the symbol name with (S) or
-without (s) offsets. If KALLSYMS are disabled then the symbol
-address is printed instead.
+Note, that the ``F`` and ``f`` specifiers are identical to ``S`` (``s``)
+and thus deprecated. We have ``F`` and ``f`` because on ia64, ppc64 and
+parisc64 function pointers are indirect and, in fact, are function
+descriptors, which require additional dereferencing before we can lookup
+the symbol. As of now, ``S`` and ``s`` perform dereferencing on those
+platforms (when needed), so ``F`` and ``f`` exist for compatibility
+reasons only.
 
 The ``B`` specifier results in the symbol name with offsets and should be
 used when printing stack backtraces. The specifier takes into
 consideration the effect of compiler optimisations which may occur
 when tail-calls are used and marked with the noreturn GCC attribute.
 
-Examples::
-
-	printk("Going to call: %pF\n", gettimeofday);
-	printk("Going to call: %pF\n", p->func);
-	printk("%s: called from %pS\n", __func__, (void *)_RET_IP_);
-	printk("%s: called from %pS\n", __func__,
-				(void *)__builtin_return_address(0));
-	printk("Faulted at %pS\n", (void *)regs->ip);
-	printk(" %s%pB\n", (reliable ? "" : "? "), (void *)*stack);
