[PATCHv3 0/2] serial/sysrq: Add MAGIC_SYSRQ_SERIAL_SEQUENCE

[PATCHv3 0/2] serial/sysrq: Add MAGIC_SYSRQ_SERIAL_SEQUENCE

[Dmitry Safonov]

Magic sysrq has proven for Arista usecases to be useful for debugging issues
in field, over serial line when the switch is in such bad state
that it can't accept network connections anymore.

Unfortunately, having sysrq always enabled doesn't work for some
embedded boards that tend to generate garbage on serial line (including
BREAKs). Since commit 732dbf3a6104 ("serial: do not accept sysrq
characters via serial port"), it's possible to keep sysrq enabled, but
over serial line.

Add a way to enable sysrq on a uart, where currently it can be
constantly either on or off (CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ_SERIAL).
While doing so, cleanup __sysrq_enabled and serial_core header file.

Changes since v2 [2]:
- sysrq_get_mask() renamed to sysrq_mask() as there isn't
  sysrq_put_mask(); acquired kernel-doc (by Greg's review, thanks)
- uart_try_toggle_sysrq() now returns true/false instead 1/0 as it's
  a bool function (nits by Joe Perches, thanks!)
- Dropped "sizeof(port->sysrq_seq)*U8_MAX" and used U8_MAX (Randy Dunlap)

Changes since v1 [1]:
- Fix typo in pr_info() message (noticed by Randy Dunlap, thanks)
- Add SYSRQ_TIMEOUT define for timeout after BREAK and separate removing
  @unused member of uart_port into cleanup patch (by Greg's review, thanks)
- Add const qualifier, make uart_try_toggle_sysrq() bool function
  (Joe Perches, thanks)
- Fix !CONFIG_SYSRQ and CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ_SERIAL_SEQUENCE=""
  build failures (kudos to kbuild test robot)

[PATCHv3 1/2] sysctl/sysrq: Remove __sysrq_enabled copy

[Dmitry Safonov]

Many embedded boards have a disconnected TTL level serial which can
generate some garbage that can lead to spurious false sysrq detects.

Currently, sysrq can be either completely disabled for serial console
or always disabled (with CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ_SERIAL), since
commit 732dbf3a6104 ("serial: do not accept sysrq characters via serial port")

At Arista, we have such boards that can generate BREAK and random
garbage. While disabling sysrq for serial console would solve
the problem with spurious false sysrq triggers, it's also desirable
to have a way to enable sysrq back.

Having the way to enable sysrq was beneficial to debug lockups with
a manual investigation in field and on the other side preventing false
sysrq detections.

As a preparation to add sysrq_toggle_support() call into uart,
remove a private copy of sysrq_enabled from sysctl - it should reflect
the actual status of sysrq.

Furthermore, the private copy isn't correct already in case
sysrq_always_enabled is true. So, remove __sysrq_enabled and use a
getter-helper sysrq_mask() to check sysrq_key_op enabled status.

[PATCHv3 2/2] serial/sysrq: Add MAGIC_SYSRQ_SERIAL_SEQUENCE

[Dmitry Safonov]

Many embedded boards have a disconnected TTL level serial which can
generate some garbage that can lead to spurious false sysrq detects.

Currently, sysrq can be either completely disabled for serial console
or always disabled (with CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ_SERIAL), since
commit 732dbf3a6104 ("serial: do not accept sysrq characters via serial port")

At Arista, we have such boards that can generate BREAK and random
garbage. While disabling sysrq for serial console would solve
the problem with spurious false sysrq triggers, it's also desirable
to have a way to enable sysrq back.

As a measure of balance between on and off options, add
MAGIC_SYSRQ_SERIAL_SEQUENCE which is a string sequence that can enable
sysrq if it follows BREAK on a serial line. The longer the string - the
less likely it may be in the garbage.

Having the way to enable sysrq was beneficial to debug lockups with
a manual investigation in field and on the other side preventing false
sysrq detections.

False-positive as just a few lines above:

I hope it's fine just to ignore this rather than complicate anyhow code

Can you send a follow-on patch that adds some more text here.  Something
like :
	If you do not know what to do, just select an empty string and
	the option will not be enabled.

or something like that to make it more obvious what almost everyone will
want to do here.

thanks,

This seems to have broken several configs, when serial_core is modular, with:

  ERROR: modpost: "sysrq_mask" [drivers/tty/serial/serial_core.ko] undefined!

See:

  http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/kisskb/buildresult/14169386/

It's also being reported by the kernelci bot:
