crash Issue #164
Tested with Kernel version and makedumpfile version:
Linux Kernel Testing: Linux catalina 6.6.6 #4 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC
Tue Dec 12 23:11:30 PST 2023 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Linux 5.4.264 #9 SMP
Thu Dec 21 07:00:08 PST 2023
makedumpfile Testing: makedumpfile: version 1.7.4++
(released on 6 Nov 2023)
Issue 13 for makedumpfile: adds support for
demsg PRINTK_CALLER id field
dmesg Testing: util-linux 2.39.3++
Issue 2609 for sys-utils dmesg: adds support for
dmesg PRINTK_CALLER id field to standard
dmesg kmsg interface
Add support so that dmesg entries include the optional Linux Kernel
debug CONFIG option PRINTK_CALLER which adds an optional dmesg field
that contains the Thread Id or CPU Id that is issuing the printk to
add the message to the kernel ring buffer. If enabled, this CONFIG
option makes debugging simpler as dmesg entries for a specific
thread or CPU can be recognized.
The dmesg command supports printing the PRINTK_CALLER field. The
old syslog format (dmesg -S) and recently support was added for dmesg
using /dev/kmsg interface with util-linux Issue #2609 as we upstreamed
a commit that is under review.
We've upstreamed a patch for makedumpfile that adds support for
the PRINTK_CALLER id field so it will be available with the
commands:
makedumpfile --dump-dmesg /proc/vmcore dmesgfile
makedumpfile --dump-dmesg -x vmlinux /proc/vmcore dmesgfile
The additional field provided by PRINTK_CALLER is only present
if it was configured for the Linux kernel on the running system. The
PRINTK_CALLER is a debug option and not configured by default so the
dmesg output will only change for those kernels where the option was
configured when the kernel was built. For users who went to the
trouble to configure PRINTK_CALLER and have the extra field available
for debugging, having dmesg print the field is very helpful and so
will be makedumpfile and so it would be very useful to have crash
support for dump analysis.
Size of the PRINTK_CALLER field is determined by the maximum number
tasks that can be run on the system which is limited by the value of
/proc/sys/kernel/pid_max as pid values are from 0 to value - 1.
This value determines the number of id digits needed by the caller id.
The PRINTK_CALLER field is printed as T<id> for a Task Id or C<id>
for a CPU Id for a printk in CPU context. The values are left space
padded and enclosed in parentheses such as:
[ T123] or [ C16]
Displaying the PRINTK_CALLER field in the log/dmesg record output:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Given the layout of log/dmesg records printed by crash, for example:
crash> log -m
...
[ 0.000000] <7>e820: remove [mem 0xff000000-0xffffffff] reserved
[ 0.000000] <6>SMBIOS 3.4.0 present.
...
[ 0.014179] <6>Secure boot disabled
[ 0.014179] <6>RAMDISK: [mem 0x3cf4f000-0x437bbfff]
...
[ 663.328848] <6>sysrq: Trigger a crash
[ 663.328859] <0>Kernel panic - not syncing: sysrq triggered crash
Our patch adds the PRINTK_CALLER field after the timestamp if the
printk_caller log / dmesg option (-P) is selected:
crash> log -m -P
...
[ 0.014179] [ T1] <6>Secure boot disabled
[ 0.014179] [ T29] <6>RAMDISK: [mem 0x3cf4f000-0x437bbfff]
...
This is consistent placement with dmesg and makedumpfile.
To produce dmesg output with the PRINTK_CALLER id included, we add
a new log / dmesg command option: -P
The PRINTK_CALLER id field is printed only if the -P option is selected.
The description of the log -P option that is seen in the help is:
crash> log help
log
dump system message buffer
[-TtdmasP]
...
...
-P Display the PRINTK_CALLER id field that identifies the thread id or
the CPU id of the task that issued the printk to add the message to
the kernel ring buffer. Displaying this field is only possible for
Linux kernels that are Linux 5.1 or newer since kernels prior to
Linux 5.1 did not provide a PRINTK_CALLER field. So, this option is
ignored for kernels older than Linux 5.1. The CONFIG_PRINTK_CALLER
kernel configuration option should be selected to make the caller_id
field available and for vmcore files your version of makedumpfile
must support dumping the caller_id field for it to be available here.
Also seen in the help file :
On systems that are properly configured to make the log caller_id field
available to the crash utility, you can select to print log records and
include the caller_id field with each log record. The log PRINTK_CALLER
id option (-P) will print either the Thread id or the CPU id depending on
the context of the process at the time the printk request was made. The
output of the thread id (begins with T) or the CPU id (begins with C) is
placed inside square brackets and is padded with leading space to keep
alignment. The caller_id field follows the timestamp field if that field
is selected:
crash> log -P
