This series focuses on reducing the scope of the BKL console_lock. It achieves this by switching to SRCU and a dedicated mutex for console list iteration and modification, respectively. The console_lock will no longer offer this protection and is completely removed from (un)register_console() and console_stop/start() code. Also, during the review of v2 it came to our attention that many console drivers are checking CON_ENABLED to see if they are registered. Because this flag can change without unregistering and because this flag does not represent an atomic point when an (un)registration process is complete, a new console_is_registered() function is introduced. This function uses the console_list_lock to synchronize with the (un)registration process to provide a reliable status. All users of the console_lock for list iteration have been modified. For the call sites where the console_lock is still needed (because of other reasons), comments are added to explain exactly why the console_lock was needed. All users of CON_ENABLED for registration status have been modified to use console_is_registered(). Note that there are still users of CON_ENABLED, but this is for legitimate purposes about a registered console being able to print. The base commit for this series is from Paul McKenney's RCU tree and provides an NMI-safe SRCU implementation [1]. Without the NMI-safe SRCU implementation, this series is not less safe than mainline. But we will need the NMI-safe SRCU implementation for atomic consoles anyway, so we might as well get it in now. Especially since it _does_ increase the reliability for mainline in the panic path. Changes since v3: general: - introduce a synchronized console_is_registered() to query if a console is registered, meant to replace CON_ENABLED (mis)use for this purpose - directly read console->flags for registered consoles if it is race-free (and document that it is so) - replace uart_console_enabled() with a new uart_console_registered() based on console_is_registered() - change comments about why console_lock is used to synchronize console->device() by providing an example registration check fixups: - the following drivers were modified to use the new console_is_registered() instead of CON_ENABLED checks - arch/m68k/emu/nfcon.c - drivers/firmware/efi/earlycon.c - drivers/net/netconsole.c - drivers/tty/hvc/hvc_console.c -

drivers/usb/early/xhci-dbc.c um: kmsg_dumper: - change stdout dump criteria to match original intention kgdb/kdb: - in configure_kgdboc(), take console_list_lock to synchronize tty_find_polling_driver() against register_console() - add comments explaining why calling console->write() without locking might work tty: sh-sci: - use a setup() callback to setup the early console fbdev: xen: - implement a cleaner approach for console_force_preferred_locked() rcu: - implement debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled() for !CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC printk: - check CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC for srcu_read_lock_held() availability - for console_lock/_trylock/_unlock, replace "lock the console system" language with "block the console subsystem from printing" - use WRITE_ONCE() for updating console->flags of registered consoles - expand comments of synchronize_srcu() calls to explain why they are needed, and also expand comments to explain when it is not needed - change CON_BOOT consoles to always begin at earliest message - for non-BOOT/non-PRINTBUFFER consoles, initialize @seq to the minimal @seq of any of the enabled boot consoles - add comments and lockdep assertion to unregister_console_locked() because it is not clear from the name which lock is implied -
