[RFC 0/2] printk: Remove cyclic include dependencies with printk.h

[RFC 0/2] printk: Remove cyclic include dependencies with printk.h

[Petr Mladek]

"make headerdep" reports two cycles where printk.h is involved. Both are
a bit complicated. All involved headers provide inlined functions that
have to be inlined because they add caller-specific metadata.

There are several possible solutions:

1. Ignore the problem because the cycles do not cause any real problem
   at the moment. I would say that it works by chance. See the patches
   for more details.


2. Move the printk-calls from the headers into .c sources so that printk.h
   is included in .c instead of .h. It is relatively easy except that it
   makes the code a bit more complicated.


3. Use a simple declaration somewhere. It is problematic because
   the inlined functions are more complex.

   But printk() is complex because it adds metadata for the list
   of strings in /sys/kernel/debug/printk/index. The index already misses
   a lot of strings that are printed via some subsystem specific wrappers.
   It should be acceptable to miss the few strings used in the affected
   headers.


This patchset implements the 3rd solution. It does not complicate
the existing code. It is quite the opposite. It splits the long
printk.h. It puts some low-level definitions into separate printk_core.h.
The lightweight header file might be useful also in other situations.

What do you think, please?

[RFC 1/2] printk/dynamic_debug: Remove cyclic dependency between printk.h and dynamic_debug.h

[Petr Mladek]

`make headerdep` reports many circular dependencies with the same
pattern:

In file included from linux/printk.h,
                 from linux/dynamic_debug.h:188
                 from linux/printk.h:559 <-- here

It looks like false positive:

   + printk.h includes dynamic_debug.h when CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CORE
   + dynamic_debug.h includes printk.h when !CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CORE

Anyway, it would be great to get rid of this dependency because it is
tricky and it might hit us in the future. Also it might hide another
more complicated cyclic dependencies.

One solution would be to move the inlined ddebug_dyndbg_module_param_cb()
and dynamic_debug_exec_queries() from 'dynamic_debug.h' into some .c so
that it will not be needed to inline printk() in 'dynamic_debug.h'.

The obvious location would be 'lib/dynamic_debug.c'. But it is built
only when CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CORE is set. And the problematic
inline variants are used only when this config option is _not_ set.
So that it is not that easy.

Instead, this patch adds 'include/linux/printk_core.h' and moves some
lowlevel printk API there. Then the raw _printk() can be called from
the inlined code in 'dynamic_debug.h'.

Note that it is not enough to declare _printk() in 'dynamic_debug.h'.
It would break build with CONFIG_PRINTK where it is an inlined nope.

The drawback of this approach is that _printk() does not add metadata for
printk indexing and the message is not listed in <debugfs>/printk/index/.
But it should be acceptable here. The strings are used only for debugging.

The advantage is that this approach might be used to solve other cyclic
dependencies, for example in bug.h.

s/nope/nop/, and you mean !CONFIG_PRINTK instead of CONFIG_PRINTK. Or did I 
misunderstand?

Agreed that these are fine to omit from a printk indexing perspective.

Urgh, this doesn't look like the right approach.

It looks like this has only one caller, kernel/module.c. I suggest
simply moving the match logic into unknown_module_param_cb(), making it
on par with the other "generic" module parameter async_probe. That is,
do something like


  if (strstr(param, "dyndbg")) {
    if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG)) {
      return ddebug_dyndbg_module_param_cb(param, val, modname)
    }
    pr_warn("dyndbg param is supported only in ...");
    return 0; /* allow and ignore */
  }

  pr_warn("%s: unknown parameter '%s' ignored\n", modname, param);
  return 0;

That makes it simpler to add more magic/generic module parameters in
unknown_module_param_cb(). No need for a static inline stub, and no need
for conditionally declaring ddebug_dyndbg_module_param_cb(). So all that
is needed in dynamic_debug.h is to remove the static inline definition,
and pull the declaration outside #if defined(CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CORE)
protection.

What's with the strstr, btw? Shouldn't it just be !strcmp()?

And for this one I think the solution is even simpler, as I can't find
any in-tree callers. Perhaps just nuke it entirely?

It is not ideal. But it allows to handle these cycles without
complicating external code. It is not only about dynamic_debug.h.
The problem is also in include/asm-generic/bug.h and possibly other
headers included directly or indirectly from printk.h.

Another small advantage is that printk_core.h might define other
printk API that is not intended for general use.

I do not have strong opinion here. The advantage of the current code
is that it keeps the complexity in dynamic_debug code.

Adding Jessica into CC to know her preferences.

"dyndbg" parameter might be used as <module>.dyndbg[="val"].

This EXPORT can go.

For the user I envisioned, DRM, Ive done it with a callback
provided by dynamic-debug, which maps bits in __drm_debug,
to calls to ddebug_exec_queries, without the export.

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220107052942.1349447-19-jim.cromie@gmail.com/

This seems like a narrower/tighter interface,
and readily repeatable for other users, should they emerge.

Id welcome your inputs on the whole patchset.
Rasmus, I extend your Factory macros to add a .class_id
and use them to wrap __drm_dev_dbg etc

thanks

Does it mean that the entire function might be removed or just
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() macro, please?

I am especially interested whether we could remove pr_warn()
from the header file. It would help us the get rid of the
cyclic header dependency an easy way.

the whole function and export can be dropped.
its a thin wrapper on static ddebug_exec_queries().

I'm not against splitting up printk.h, I'm very familiar with the
problems with too-large headers. But I think the specific problem with
dynamic_debug.h has a much smaller and simpler resolution (as I've
suggested), which would also clean up the code a bit, and make a later
refactoring of printk.h simpler - because there's one less user to care
about.

No, not really, anything in dynamic_debug.h is part of every TU that
includes that header, even if the static inline is only used by one of
them. And since the module code anyway needs to have some knowledge of
dyndbg, I don't see why we can't move the meat of that static inline
into module.c.

No, not if I'm reading the code and the old commit logs right. For a
built-in module, that thing gets handled by
ddebug_dyndbg_boot_param_cb(), just as the comment in
ddebug_dyndbg_param_cb() says.

But in the call from ddebug_dyndbg_module_param_cb(), param is expected
to be the plain parameter name; it is (userspace) modprobe which parses
/proc/cmdline for any occurrence of <module>.foo=bar and passes that on,
in the format foo=bar, along with any other module parameters given
explicitly in the modprobe call. So if I'm reading the code right, a
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=n kernel would print the "dyndbg param is supported
only in ..." warning if one loads a module and gives a
HALLEdyndbgLUJA=123 parameter.

[RFC 2/2] printk/bug: Remove cyclic dependency between bug.h and printk.h

[Petr Mladek]

`make headerdep` reports many circular dependencies with the same
pattern:

In file included from linux/bug.h,
                 from linux/jump_label.h:262
                 from linux/dynamic_debug.h:6
                 from linux/printk.h:504
                 from asm-generic/bug.h:22
                 from linux/bug.h:32 <-- here

It does not cause real problem because 'asm-generic/bug.h' uses only
plain printk() and no_printk(). And these two functions are defined
in 'printk.h' before 'dynamic_debug.h' is included.

There is no easy solution because all affected code does some inline
tricks:

  + printk() adds struct pi_entry metadata
  + dynamic_pr_debug() adds struct _ddebug metadata
  + static_branch_likely() adds assembly that realizes the jump
  + BUG() prints __FILE__, __LINE__, __func__ where it is inlined

One solution would be to modify BUG() and pass __FILE__, __LINE__,
__func__ into a helper function implemented in a .c source file.
It will not require including "printk.h" in "bug.h". The drawback
is code complication.

Alternative solution is to include "printk_core.h" and use the raw
_printk(). The drawback is that the string will not be listed in
printk index. But it will afftect only few architectires that do
not define HAVE_ARCH_BUG.

This patch uses the alternative solution because it seems to be
easier to maintain. The BUG() definitions are already complicated
enough thanks to all the ifdefs.
