2022-09-01kernel/panic: Drop unblank_screen callDaniel Vetter
console_unblank() does this too (called in both places right after), and with a lot more confidence inspiring approach to locking. Reconstructing this story is very strange: In b61312d353da ("oops handling: ensure that any oops is flushed to the mtdoops console") it is claimed that a printk(" "); flushed out the console buffer, which was removed in e3e8a75d2acf ("[PATCH] Extract and use wake_up_klogd()"). In todays kernels this is done way earlier in console_flush_on_panic with some really nasty tricks. I didn't bother to fully reconstruct this all, least because the call to bust_spinlock(0); gets moved every few years, depending upon how the wind blows (or well, who screamed loudest about the various issue each call site caused). Before that commit the only calls to console_unblank() where in s390 arch code. The other side here is the console->unblank callback, which was introduced in 2.1.31 for the vt driver. Which predates the console_unblank() function by a lot, which was added (without users) in 2.4.14.3. So pretty much impossible to guess at any motivation here. Also afaict the vt driver is the only (and always was the only) console driver implementing the unblank callback, so no idea why a call to console_unblank() was added for the mtdooops driver - the action actually flushing out the console buffers is done from console_unlock() only. Note that as prep for the s390 users the locking was adjusted in 2.5.22 (I couldn't figure out how to properly reference the BK commit from the historical git trees) from a normal semaphore to a trylock. Note that a copy of the direct unblank_screen() call was added to panic() in c7c3f05e341a ("panic: avoid deadlocks in re-entrant console drivers"), which partially inlined the bust_spinlocks(0); call. Long story short, I have no idea why the direct call to unblank_screen survived for so long (the infrastructure to do it properly existed for years), nor why it wasn't removed when the console_unblank() call was finally added. But it makes a ton more sense to finally do that than not - it's just better encapsulation to go through the console functions instead of doing a direct call, so let's dare. Plus it really does not make much sense to call the only unblank implementation there is twice, once without, and once with appropriate locking.

2018-11-30s390: use common bust_spinlocks()Sergey Senozhatsky
s390 is the only architecture that is using own bust_spinlocks() variant, while other arch-s seem to be OK with the common implementation. Heiko Carstens [1] said he would prefer s390 to use the common bust_spinlocks() as well: I did some code archaeology and this function is unchanged since ~17 years. When it was introduced it was close to identical to the x86 variant. All other architectures use the common code variant in the meantime. So if we change this I'd prefer that we switch s390 to the common code variant as well. Right now I can't see a reason for not doing that This patch removes s390 bust_spinlocks() and drops the weak attribute from the common bust_spinlocks() version.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

2013-03-22printk: Provide a wake_up_klogd() off-caseFrederic Weisbecker
wake_up_klogd() is useless when CONFIG_PRINTK=n because neither printk() nor printk_sched() are in use and there are actually no waiter on log_wait waitqueue. It should be a stub in this case for users like bust_spinlocks(). Otherwise this results in this warning when CONFIG_PRINTK=n and CONFIG_IRQ_WORK=n: kernel/built-in.o In function `wake_up_klogd': (.text.wake_up_klogd+0xb4): undefined reference to `irq_work_queue' To fix this, provide an off-case for wake_up_klogd() when CONFIG_PRINTK=n. There is much more from console_unlock() and other console related code in printk.c that should be moved under CONFIG_PRINTK. But for now, focus on a minimal fix as we passed the merged window already.

2009-01-06oops handling: ensure that any oops is flushed to the mtdoops consoleViktor Rosendahl
This used to work unpatched with older kernels, during the development phase of mtdoops. Before commit e3e8a75d2acfc61ebf25524666a0a2c6abb0620c a space was printed with console_loglevel set to 15, which probably flushed the oops message as a side effect.

2007-10-17handle recursive calls to bust_spinlocks()Jan Beulich
Various architectures may call bust_spinlocks() recursively; the function itself, however, doesn't appear to be meant to be called in this manner. Nevertheless, this doesn't appear to be a problem as long as bust_spinlocks(0) doesn't get called twice in a row (otherwise, unblank_screen() may enter the scheduler). However, at least on i386 die() has been capable of returning (and on other architectures this should really be that way, too) when notify_die() returns NOTIFY_STOP. Short of getting a reply to a respective query, this patch makes bust_spinlocks() increment/decrement oops_in_progress, and wake klogd only when the count drops back to zero.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
