* Fix a bug introduced in revision 222537.ken2011-05-311-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | In msgbuf_reinit() and msgbuf_init(), we weren't initializing the mutex. Depending on the contents of memory, the LO_INITIALIZED flag might be set on the mutex (either due to a warm reboot, and the message buffer remaining in place, or due to garbage in memory) and in that case, with INVARIANTS turned on, we would trigger an assertion that the mutex had already been initialized. Fix this by bzeroing the message buffer mutex for the _init() and _reinit() paths. Reported by: mdf

While all of the characters still made it into the log (courtesy of atomic operations), they were often interleaved when there were multiple threads writing to the buffer at the same time. This fixes message buffer accesses to use buffering logic as well, so that strings that are less than PRINTF_BUFR_SIZE will be put into the message buffer atomically. So now dmesg output should look the same as console output. subr_msgbuf.c: Convert most message buffer calls to use a new spin lock instead of atomic variables in some places. Add a new routine, msgbuf_addstr(), that adds a NUL-terminated string to a message buffer. This takes a priority argument, which allows us to eliminate some races (at least in the the string at a time case) that are present in the implementation of msglogchar(). (dangling and lastpri are static variables, and are subject to races when multiple callers are present.) msgbuf_addstr() also allows the caller to request that carriage returns be stripped out of the string. This matches the behavior of msglogchar(), but in testing so far it doesn't appear that any newlines are being stripped out. So the carriage return removal functionality may be a candidate for removal later on if further analysis shows that it isn't necessary. subr_prf.c: Add a new msglogstr() routine that calls msgbuf_logstr(). Rename putcons() to putbuf(). This now handles buffered output to the message log as well as the console. Also, remove the logic in putcons() (now putbuf()) that added a carriage return before a newline. The console path was the only path that needed it, and cnputc() (called by cnputs()) already adds a carriage return. So this duplication resulted in kernel-generated console output lines ending in '\r''\r''\n'. Refactor putchar() to handle the new buffering scheme. Add buffering to log(). Change log_console() to use msglogstr() instead of msglogchar(). Don't add extra newlines by default in log_console(). Hide that behavior behind a tunable/sysctl (kern.log_console_add_linefeed) for those who would like the old behavior. The old behavior led to the insertion of extra newlines for log output for programs that print out a string, and then a trailing newline on a separate write. (This is visible with dmesg -a.) msgbuf.h: Add a prototype for msgbuf_addstr(). Add three new fields to struct msgbuf, msg_needsnl, msg_lastpri and msg_lock. The first two are needed for log message functionality previously handled by msglogchar(). (Which is still active if buffering isn't enabled.) Include sys/lock.h and sys/mutex.h for the new mutex.

with a new implementation that has a mostly reentrant "addchar" routine, supports multiple message buffers in the kernel, and hides the implementation details from callers. The new code uses a kind of sequence number to represend the current read and write positions in the buffer. This approach (suggested mainly by bde) permits the read and write pointers to be maintained separately, which reduces the number of atomic operations that are required. The "mostly reentrant" above refers to the way that while it is now always safe to have any number of concurrent writers, readers could see the message buffer after a writer has advanced the pointers but before it has witten the new character.
