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 1b710b1b10ef ("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. # # Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/aa0732c6-5c4e-8a8b-a1c1-75ebe3dca05b@camlintechnologies.com/ # Reported-by: Lech Perczak # Signed-off-by: Sergey Senozhatsky # Tested-by: Jann Horn # Reviewed-by: Petr Mladek # Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman # Cc: Theodore Ts'o # Cc: John Ogness # Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/mips-linux/bin/mips-linux-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/mips-linux/bin/mips-linux-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 ab6f762f0f53162d41497708b33c9a3236d3609e # < make -s -j 32 ARCH=mips O=/kisskb/build/linus_mips-allnoconfig_mips-gcc8 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/mips-linux/bin/mips-linux- allnoconfig # < make -s -j 32 ARCH=mips O=/kisskb/build/linus_mips-allnoconfig_mips-gcc8 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/mips-linux/bin/mips-linux- help # make -s -j 32 ARCH=mips O=/kisskb/build/linus_mips-allnoconfig_mips-gcc8 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/mips-linux/bin/mips-linux- olddefconfig # make -s -j 32 ARCH=mips O=/kisskb/build/linus_mips-allnoconfig_mips-gcc8 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/mips-linux/bin/mips-linux- FIT description: Linux 5.6.0+ Created: Sat Apr 11 08:20:02 2020 Image 0 (kernel@0) Description: Linux 5.6.0+ Created: Sat Apr 11 08:20:02 2020 Type: Kernel Image Compression: gzip compressed Data Size: 662040 Bytes = 646.52 KiB = 0.63 MiB Architecture: MIPS OS: Linux Load Address: 0x80100000 Entry Point: 0x8022a5c0 Hash algo: sha1 Hash value: 1a802c78635a837fe806c1f364fc2e3674f8c2e6 Default Configuration: 'conf@default' Configuration 0 (conf@default) Description: Generic Linux kernel Kernel: kernel@0 Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/linus_mips-allnoconfig_mips-gcc8 # Build took: 0:00:24.470645
