pstore/platform: Disable automatic updates by default Having automatic updates seems pointless for production system, and even dangerous and thus counter-productive: 1. If we can mount pstore, or read files, we can as well read /proc/kmsg. So, there's little point in duplicating the functionality and present the same information but via another userland ABI; 2. Expecting the kernel to behave sanely after oops/panic is naive. It might work, but you'd rather not try it. Screwed up kernel can do rather bad things, like recursive faults[1]; and pstore rather provoking bad things to happen. It uses: 1. Timers (assumes sane interrupts state); 2. Workqueues and mutexes (assumes scheduler in a sane state); 3. kzalloc (a working slab allocator); That's too much for a dead kernel, so the debugging facility itself might just make debugging harder, which is not what we want. Maybe for non-oops message types it would make sense to re-enable automatic updates, but so far I don't see any use case for this. Even for tracing, it has its own run-time/normal ABI, so we're only interested in pstore upon next boot, to retrieve what has gone wrong with HW or SW. So, let's disable the updates by default.

pstore: Avoid deadlock in panic and emergency-restart path [Issue] When pstore is in panic and emergency-restart paths, it may be blocked in those paths because it simply takes spin_lock. This is an example scenario which pstore may hang up in a panic path: - cpuA grabs psinfo->buf_lock - cpuB panics and calls smp_send_stop - smp_send_stop sends IRQ to cpuA - after 1 second, cpuB gives up on cpuA and sends an NMI instead - cpuA is now in an NMI handler while still holding buf_lock - cpuB is deadlocked This case may happen if a firmware has a bug and cpuA is stuck talking with it more than one second. Also, this is a similar scenario in an emergency-restart path: - cpuA grabs psinfo->buf_lock and stucks in a firmware - cpuB kicks emergency-restart via either sysrq-b or hangcheck timer. And then, cpuB is deadlocked by taking psinfo->buf_lock again. [Solution] This patch avoids the deadlocking issues in both panic and emergency_restart paths by introducing a function, is_non_blocking_path(), to check if a cpu can be blocked in current path. With this patch, pstore is not blocked even if another cpu has taken a spin_lock, in those paths by changing from spin_lock_irqsave to spin_trylock_irqsave. In addition, according to a comment of emergency_restart() in kernel/sys.c, spin_lock shouldn't be taken in an emergency_restart path to avoid deadlock. This patch fits the comment below. <snip> /** * emergency_restart - reboot the system * * Without shutting down any hardware or taking any locks * reboot the system.

pstore: Avoid deadlock in panic and emergency-restart path [Issue] When pstore is in panic and emergency-restart paths, it may be blocked in those paths because it simply takes spin_lock. This is an example scenario which pstore may hang up in a panic path: - cpuA grabs psinfo->buf_lock - cpuB panics and calls smp_send_stop - smp_send_stop sends IRQ to cpuA - after 1 second, cpuB gives up on cpuA and sends an NMI instead - cpuA is now in an NMI handler while still holding buf_lock - cpuB is deadlocked This case may happen if a firmware has a bug and cpuA is stuck talking with it more than one second. Also, this is a similar scenario in an emergency-restart path: - cpuA grabs psinfo->buf_lock and stucks in a firmware - cpuB kicks emergency-restart via either sysrq-b or hangcheck timer. And then, cpuB is deadlocked by taking psinfo->buf_lock again. [Solution] This patch avoids the deadlocking issues in both panic and emergency_restart paths by introducing a function, is_non_blocking_path(), to check if a cpu can be blocked in current path. With this patch, pstore is not blocked even if another cpu has taken a spin_lock, in those paths by changing from spin_lock_irqsave to spin_trylock_irqsave. In addition, according to a comment of emergency_restart() in kernel/sys.c, spin_lock shouldn't be taken in an emergency_restart path to avoid deadlock. This patch fits the comment below. <snip> /** * emergency_restart - reboot the system * * Without shutting down any hardware or taking any locks * reboot the system.

To replace the buf_lock during the read path, isolate the open/read/close loop with a separate mutex to maintain serialized access to the backend. Note that is is up to the pstore backend to cope if the (*write)() path is called in the middle of the read path.
