printk: Fix panic caused by passing log_buf_len to command line

2018-11-13T19:12:45Z

commit 277fcdb2cfee38ccdbe07e705dbd4896ba0c9930 upstream. log_buf_len_setup does not check input argument before passing it to simple_strtoull. The argument would be a NULL pointer if "log_buf_len", without its value, is set in command line and thus causes the following panic.

printk: wake up klogd in vprintk_emit

2018-04-25T11:26:02Z

We wake up klogd very late - only when current console_sem owner is done pushing pending kernel messages to the serial/net consoles. In some cases this results in lost syslog messages, because kernel log buffer is a circular buffer and if we don't wakeup syslog long enough there are chances that logbuf simply will wrap around. The patch moves the klogd wake up call to vprintk_emit(), which is the only legit way for a kernel message to appear in the logbuf, right after the attempt to handle consoles. As a result, klogd will get waken either after flushing the new message to consoles or immediately when consoles are still busy with older messages.

init, tracing: instrument security and console initcall trace events

2018-04-06T12:56:55Z

Trace events have been added around the initcall functions defined in init/main.c. But console and security have their own initcalls. This adds the trace events associated for those initcall functions.

To allow userspace to prevent this message from appearing in the console by changing the log priority. This matches other informative messages that the power subsystem emits when the system changes power states.

dump_stack related stuff should belong to lib/dump_stack.c thus move them there. Also conditionally compile lib/dump_stack.c since dump_stack code does not make sense if printk is disabled.
