11 * Printk console printing implementation for consoles which does not depend
12 * on the legacy style console_lock mechanism.
13 *
14 * The state of the console is maintained in the "nbcon_state" atomic
15 * variable.
16 *
17 * The console is locked when:
18 *
19 * - The 'prio' field contains the priority of the context that owns the
20 * console. Only higher priority contexts are allowed to take over the
21 * lock. A value of 0 (NBCON_PRIO_NONE) means the console is not locked.
22 *
23 * - The 'cpu' field denotes on which CPU the console is locked. It is used
24 * to prevent busy waiting on the same CPU. Also it informs the lock owner
25 * that it has lost the lock in a more complex scenario when the lock was
26 * taken over by a higher priority context, released, and taken on another
27 * CPU with the same priority as the interrupted owner.
28 *
29 * The acquire mechanism uses a few more fields:
30 *
31 * - The 'req_prio' field is used by the handover approach to make the
32 * current owner aware that there is a context with a higher priority
33 * waiting for the friendly handover.
34 *
35 * - The 'unsafe' field allows to take over the console in a safe way in the
36 * middle of emitting a message. The field is set only when accessing some
37 * shared resources or when the console device is manipulated. It can be
38 * cleared, for example, after emitting one character when the console
39 * device is in a consistent state.
40 *
41 * - The 'unsafe_takeover' field is set when a hostile takeover took the
42 * console in an unsafe state. The console will stay in the unsafe state
43 * until re-initialized.
44 *
45 * The acquire mechanism uses three approaches:
46 *
47 * 1) Direct acquire when the console is not owned or is owned by a lower
48 * priority context and is in a safe state.
49 *
50 * 2) Friendly handover mechanism uses a request/grant handshake. It is used
51 * when the current owner has lower priority and the console is in an
52 * unsafe state.
53 *
54 * The requesting context:
55 *
56 * a) Sets its priority into the 'req_prio' field.
57 *
58 * b) Waits (with a timeout) for the owning context to unlock the
59 * console.
60 *
61 * c) Takes the lock and clears the 'req_prio' field.
62 *
63 * The owning context:
64 *
65 * a) Observes the 'req_prio' field set on exit from the unsafe
66 * console state.
67 *
68 * b) Gives up console ownership by clearing the 'prio' field.
69 *
70 * 3) Unsafe hostile takeover allows to take over the lock even when the
71 * console is an unsafe state. It is used only in panic() by the final
72 * attempt to flush consoles in a try and hope mode.
73 *
74 * Note that separate record buffers are used in panic(). As a result,
75 * the messages can be read and formatted without any risk even after
76 * using the hostile takeover in unsafe state.
77 *
78 * The release function simply clears the 'prio' field.
79 *
80 * All operations on @console::nbcon_state are atomic cmpxchg based to
81 * handle concurrency.
82 *
83 * The acquire/release functions implement only minimal policies:
84 *
85 * - Preference for higher priority contexts.
86 * - Protection of the panic CPU.
87 *
88 * All other policy decisions must be made at the call sites:
89 *
90 * - What is marked as an unsafe section.
91 * - Whether to spin-wait if there is already an owner and the console is
92 * in an unsafe state.
93 * - Whether to attempt an unsafe hostile takeover.
94 *
95 * The design allows to implement the well known:
96 *
97 * acquire()
98 * output_one_printk_record()
99 * release()
100 *
101 * The output of one printk record might be interrupted with a higher priority
102 * context. The new owner is supposed to reprint the entire interrupted record
103 * from scratch.
