This patch breaks out the read operations in do_syslog() into their
own functions (klog_read, klog_readhist) and adds a klog_poll.
klog_read grows the ability to do a nonblocking read, which I expose
in the sys_syslog interface because there doesn't seem to be any
reason not to. do_syslog itself is folded into sys_syslog. The
security checks remain there, not in the subfunctions.
kmsg.c is then changed to use those functions instead of calling
do_syslog and/or poll_wait itself.. This entails that it must call
security_syslog as appropriate itself. In this patch I preserve the
security checks exactly as they were with one exception: neither
kmsg_close() nor sys_syslog(KLOG_CLOSE, ...) calls security_syslog
at all anymore (close operations should never fail).
Finally, I fixed a couple of minor bugs. __put_user error handling in
klog_read was slightly off: if __put_user returns an error, that
character should not be consumed from the kernel buffer; if it returns
an error after some characters have already been copied successfully,
the read operation should return the count of already-copied
characters, not the error code. Seeking on /proc/kmsg has never been
meaningful, so kmsg_open() should call nonseekable_open() to enforce that.
Change from previous version of patch: proc/kmsg.c declares the
kernel/printk.c interfaces itself, instead of getting them from klog.h
which people want to be purely userspace-visible constants. kmsg.c has
always had private declarations of printk.c functions (before, there were
declarations of do_syslog and a wait queue there); as it is unlikely that
more users of these functions will appear, I think this will do fine.
(It might be reasonable to put declarations in console.h.)
