kmsg_dump doesn't forward the panic reason string to the kmsg_dumper
callback.
This patch adds a new parameter "const char *desc" to the kmsg_dumper
dump() callback, and update all drivers that are using it.
To avoid updating all kmsg_dump() call, it adds a kmsg_dump_desc()
function and a macro for backward compatibility.
I've written this for drm_panic, but it can be useful for other
kmsg_dumper.
It allows to see the panic reason, like "sysrq triggered crash"
or "VFS: Unable to mount root fs on xxxx" on the drm panic screen.
Seems reasonable. Given the prototype before/after:
dump(struct kmsg_dumper *dumper, enum kmsg_dump_reason reason)
dump(struct kmsg_dumper *dumper, enum kmsg_dump_reason reason,
const char *desc)
Perhaps this should instead be a struct that the panic fills in? Then
it'll be easy to adjust the struct in the future:
yes that's a good idea, so it's a bit more flexible.
struct kmsg_dump_detail {
enum kmsg_dump_reason reason;
const char *description;
};
dump(struct kmsg_dumper *dumper, struct kmsg_dump *detail)
This .cocci could do the conversion:
@ dump_func @
identifier DUMPER, CALLBACK;
@@
struct kmsg_dumper DUMPER = {
.dump = CALLBACK,
};
@ detail @
identifier dump_func.CALLBACK;
identifier DUMPER, REASON;
@@
CALLBACK(struct kmsg_dumper *DUMPER,
- enum kmsg_dump_reason REASON
+ struct kmsg_dump_detail *detail
)
{
<...
- REASON
+ detail->reason
...>
}
Also, just to double-check, doesn't the panic reason show up in the
kmsg_dump log itself (at the end?) I ask since for pstore, "desc" is
likely redundant since it's capturing the entire console log.
It is present in the kdump log, but before all the register dumps.
So to retrieve it you need to parse the last 30~40 lines of logs, and
search for a line starting with "Kernel panic - not syncing".
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.10-rc5/source/kernel/panic.c#L341
But I think that's a bit messy, and I prefer having a kmsg_dump parameter.
