printk/sched: Introduce special printk_sched() for those awkward moments

2012-03-12T19:43:16Z

There's a few awkward printk()s inside of scheduler guts that people prefer to keep but really are rather deadlock prone. Fudge around it by storing the text in a per-cpu buffer and poll it using the existing printk_tick() handler. This will drop output when its more frequent than once a tick, however only the affinity thing could possible go that fast and for that just one should suffice to notify the admin he's done something silly..

kmsg_dump: don't run on non-error paths by default

2012-03-05T23:49:42Z

Since commit 04c6862c055f ("kmsg_dump: add kmsg_dump() calls to the reboot, halt, poweroff and emergency_restart paths"), kmsg_dump() gets run on normal paths including poweroff and reboot. This is less than ideal given pstore implementations that can only represent single backtraces, since a reboot may overwrite a stored oops before it's been picked up by userspace. In addition, some pstore backends may have low performance and provide a significant delay in reboot as a result. This patch adds a printk.always_kmsg_dump kernel parameter (which can also be changed from userspace). Without it, the code will only be run on failure paths rather than on normal paths. The option can be enabled in environments where there's a desire to attempt to audit whether or not a reboot was cleanly requested or not.

printk/tracing: Add console output tracing

2012-02-13T18:46:05Z

Add a printk.console trace point to record any printk messages into the trace, regardless of the current console loglevel. This can help correlate (existing) printk debugging with other tracing.

module_param: make bool parameters really bool (core code)

2012-01-12T23:02:18Z

module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int. In fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy trick. It's time to remove the int/unsigned int option. For this version it'll simply give a warning, but it'll break next kernel version. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

printk: fix unnecessary module_param_name.

You don't need module_param_name if the name is the same! Cc: Yanmin Zhang Cc: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell
