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-4.9.4-nolibc/arm-linux-gnueabi/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-4.9.4-nolibc/arm-linux-gnueabi/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 ab6f762f0f53162d41497708b33c9a3236d3609e # < make -s -j 32 ARCH=arm O=/kisskb/build/linus_at91_dt_defconfig_arm-gcc4.9 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-4.9.4-nolibc/arm-linux-gnueabi/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi- at91_dt_defconfig # < make -s -j 32 ARCH=arm O=/kisskb/build/linus_at91_dt_defconfig_arm-gcc4.9 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-4.9.4-nolibc/arm-linux-gnueabi/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi- help # make -s -j 32 ARCH=arm O=/kisskb/build/linus_at91_dt_defconfig_arm-gcc4.9 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-4.9.4-nolibc/arm-linux-gnueabi/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi- olddefconfig # make -s -j 32 ARCH=arm O=/kisskb/build/linus_at91_dt_defconfig_arm-gcc4.9 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-4.9.4-nolibc/arm-linux-gnueabi/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi- /kisskb/src/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_dp_mst_topology.c: In function 'drm_dp_mst_dsc_aux_for_port': /kisskb/src/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_dp_mst_topology.c:5497:9: warning: missing braces around initializer [-Wmissing-braces] struct drm_dp_desc desc = { 0 }; ^ /kisskb/src/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_dp_mst_topology.c:5497:9: warning: (near initialization for 'desc.ident') [-Wmissing-braces] Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/linus_at91_dt_defconfig_arm-gcc4.9 # Build took: 0:01:21.479682
