[PATCH v4 2/4] printk: add lockless ringbuffer

Introduce a multi-reader multi-writer lockless ringbuffer for storing
the kernel log messages. Readers and writers may use their API from
any context (including scheduler and NMI). This ringbuffer will make
it possible to decouple printk() callers from any context, locking,
or console constraints. It also makes it possible for readers to have
full access to the ringbuffer contents at any time and context (for
example from any panic situation).

The printk_ringbuffer is made up of 3 internal ringbuffers:

desc_ring:
A ring of descriptors. A descriptor contains all record meta data
(sequence number, timestamp, loglevel, etc.) as well as internal state
information about the record and logical positions specifying where in
the other ringbuffers the text and dictionary strings are located.

text_data_ring:
A ring of data blocks. A data block consists of an unsigned long
integer (ID) that maps to a desc_ring index followed by the text
string of the record.

dict_data_ring:
A ring of data blocks. A data block consists of an unsigned long
integer (ID) that maps to a desc_ring index followed by the dictionary
string of the record.

The internal state information of a descriptor is the key element to
allow readers and writers to locklessly synchronize access to the data.

+ * DOC: printk_ringbuffer overview
+ *
+ * Data Structure
+ * --------------
+ * The printk_ringbuffer is made up of 3 internal ringbuffers:
+ *
+ *   desc_ring
+ *     A ring of descriptors. A descriptor contains all record meta data
+ *     (sequence number, timestamp, loglevel, etc.) as well as internal state
+ *     information about the record and logical positions specifying where in
+ *     the other ringbuffers the text and dictionary strings are located.
+ *
+ *   text_data_ring
+ *     A ring of data blocks. A data block consists of an unsigned long
+ *     integer (ID) that maps to a desc_ring index followed by the text
+ *     string of the record.
+ *
+ *   dict_data_ring
+ *     A ring of data blocks. A data block consists of an unsigned long
+ *     integer (ID) that maps to a desc_ring index followed by the dictionary
+ *     string of the record.
+ *
+ * The internal state information of a descriptor is the key element to allow
+ * readers and writers to locklessly synchronize access to the data.
+ *
+ * Implementation
+ * --------------
+ *
+ * Descriptor Ring
+ * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ * The descriptor ring is an array of descriptors. A descriptor contains all
+ * the meta data of a printk record as well as blk_lpos structs pointing to
+ * associated text and dictionary data blocks (see "Data Rings" below). Each
+ * descriptor is assigned an ID that maps directly to index values of the
+ * descriptor array and has a state. The ID and the state are bitwise combined
+ * into a single descriptor field named @state_var, allowing ID and state to
+ * be synchronously and atomically updated.
+ *
+ * Descriptors have three states:
+ *
+ *   reserved
+ *     A writer is modifying the record.
+ *
+ *   committed
+ *     The record and all its data are complete and available for reading.
+ *
+ *   reusable
+ *     The record exists, but its text and/or dictionary data may no longer
+ *     be available.
+ *
+ * Querying the @state_var of a record requires providing the ID of the
+ * descriptor to query. This can yield a possible fourth (pseudo) state:
+ *
+ *   miss
+ *     The descriptor being queried has an unexpected ID.
+ *
+ * The descriptor ring has a @tail_id that contains the ID of the oldest
+ * descriptor and @head_id that contains the ID of the newest descriptor.
+ *
+ * When a new descriptor should be created (and the ring is full), the tail
+ * descriptor is invalidated by first transitioning to the reusable state and
+ * then invalidating all tail data blocks up to and including the data blocks
+ * associated with the tail descriptor (for text and dictionary rings). Then
+ * @tail_id is advanced, followed by advancing @head_id. And finally the
+ * @state_var of the new descriptor is initialized to the new ID and reserved
+ * state.
+ *
+ * The @tail_id can only be advanced if the new @tail_id would be in the
+ * committed or reusable queried state. This makes it possible that a valid
+ * sequence number of the tail is always available.
+ *
+ * Data Rings
+ * ~~~~~~~~~~
+ * The two data rings (text and dictionary) function identically. They exist
+ * separately so that their buffer sizes can be individually set and they do
+ * not affect one another.
+ *
+ * Data rings are byte arrays composed of data blocks. Data blocks are
+ * referenced by blk_lpos structs that point to the logical position of the
+ * beginning of a data block and the beginning of the next adjacent data
+ * block. Logical positions are mapped directly to index values of the byte
+ * array ringbuffer.
+ *
+ * Each data block consists of an ID followed by the writer data. The ID is
+ * the identifier of a descriptor that is associated with the data block. A
+ * given data block is considered valid if all of the following conditions
+ * are met:
+ *
+ *   1) The descriptor associated with the data block is in the committed
+ *      queried state.
+ *
+ *   2) The blk_lpos struct within the descriptor associated with the data
+ *      block references back to the same data block.
+ *
+ *   3) The data block is within the head/tail logical position range.
+ *
+ * If the writer data of a data block would extend beyond the end of the
+ * byte array, only the ID of the data block is stored at the logical
+ * position and the full data block (ID and writer data) is stored at the
+ * beginning of the byte array. The referencing blk_lpos will point to the
+ * ID before the wrap and the next data block will be at the logical
+ * position adjacent the full data block after the wrap.
+ *
+ * Data rings have a @tail_lpos that points to the beginning of the oldest
+ * data block and a @head_lpos that points to the logical position of the
+ * next (not yet existing) data block.
+ *
+ * When a new data block should be created (and the ring is full), tail data
+ * blocks will first be invalidated by putting their associated descriptors
+ * into the reusable state and then pushing the @tail_lpos forward beyond
+ * them. Then the @head_lpos is pushed forward and is associated with a new
+ * descriptor. If a data block is not valid, the @tail_lpos cannot be
+ * advanced beyond it.
+ *
+ * Usage
+ * -----
+ * Here are some simple examples demonstrating writers and readers. For the
+ * examples a global ringbuffer (test_rb) is available (which is not the
+ * actual ringbuffer used by printk)::
+ *
+ *	DEFINE_PRINTKRB(test_rb, 15, 5, 3);
+ *
+ * This ringbuffer allows up to 32768 records (2 ^ 15) and has a size of
+ * 1 MiB (2 ^ (15 + 5)) for text data and 256 KiB (2 ^ (15 + 3)) for
+ * dictionary data.
+ *
+ * Sample writer code::
+ *
+ *	const char *dictstr = "dictionary text";
+ *	const char *textstr = "message text";
+ *	struct prb_reserved_entry e;
+ *	struct printk_record r;
+ *
+ *	// specify how much to allocate
+ *	prb_rec_init_wr(&r, strlen(textstr) + 1, strlen(dictstr) + 1);
+ *
+ *	if (prb_reserve(&e, &test_rb, &r)) {
+ *		snprintf(r.text_buf, r.text_buf_size, "%s", textstr);
+ *
+ *		// dictionary allocation may have failed
+ *		if (r.dict_buf)
+ *			snprintf(r.dict_buf, r.dict_buf_size, "%s", dictstr);
+ *
+ *		r.info->ts_nsec = local_clock();
+ *
+ *		prb_commit(&e);
+ *	}
+ *
+ * Sample reader code::
+ *
+ *	struct printk_info info;
+ *	struct printk_record r;
+ *	char text_buf[32];
+ *	char dict_buf[32];
+ *	u64 seq;
+ *
+ *	prb_rec_init_rd(&r, &info, &text_buf[0], sizeof(text_buf),
+ *			&dict_buf[0], sizeof(dict_buf));
+ *
+ *	prb_for_each_record(0, &test_rb, &seq, &r) {
+ *		if (info.seq != seq)
+ *			pr_warn("lost %llu records\n", info.seq - seq);
+ *
+ *		if (info.text_len > r.text_buf_size) {
+ *			pr_warn("record %llu text truncated\n", info.seq);
+ *			text_buf[r.text_buf_size - 1] = 0;
+ *		}
+ *
+ *		if (info.dict_len > r.dict_buf_size) {
+ *			pr_warn("record %llu dict truncated\n", info.seq);
+ *			dict_buf[r.dict_buf_size - 1] = 0;
+ *		}
+ *
+ *		pr_info("%llu: %llu: %s;%s\n", info.seq, info.ts_nsec,
+ *			&text_buf[0], info.dict_len ? &dict_buf[0] : "");
+ *	}
+ *
+ * Note that additional less convenient reader functions are available to
+ * allow complex record access.
+ *
+ * ABA Issues
+ * ~~~~~~~~~~
+ * To help avoid ABA issues, descriptors are referenced by IDs (array index
+ * values combined with tagged bits counting array wraps) and data blocks are
+ * referenced by logical positions (array index values combined with tagged
+ * bits counting array wraps). However, on 32-bit systems the number of
+ * tagged bits is relatively small such that an ABA incident is (at least
+ * theoretically) possible. For example, if 4 million maximally sized (1KiB)
+ * printk messages were to occur in NMI context on a 32-bit system, the
+ * interrupted context would not be able to recognize that the 32-bit integer
+ * completely wrapped and thus represents a different data block than the one
+ * the interrupted context expects.
+ *
+ * To help combat this possibility, additional state checking is performed
+ * (such as using cmpxchg() even though set() would suffice). These extra
+ * checks are commented as such and will hopefully catch any ABA issue that
+ * a 32-bit system might experience.
+ *
+ * Memory Barriers
+ * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ * Multiple memory barriers are used. To simplify proving correctness and
+ * generating litmus tests, lines of code related to memory barriers
+ * (loads, stores, and the associated memory barriers) are labeled::
+ *
+ *	LMM(function:letter)
+ *
+ * Comments reference the labels using only the "function:letter" part.
+ *
+ * The memory barrier pairs and their ordering are:
+ *
+ *   desc_reserve:D / desc_reserve:B
+ *     push descriptor tail (id), then push descriptor head (id)
+ *
+ *   desc_reserve:D / data_push_tail:B
+ *     push data tail (lpos), then set new descriptor reserved (state)
+ *
+ *   desc_reserve:D / desc_push_tail:C
+ *     push descriptor tail (id), then set new descriptor reserved (state)
+ *
+ *   desc_reserve:D / prb_first_seq:C
+ *     push descriptor tail (id), then set new descriptor reserved (state)
+ *
+ *   desc_reserve:F / desc_read:D
+ *     set new descriptor id and reserved (state), then allow writer changes
+ *
+ *   data_alloc:A / desc_read:D
+ *     set old descriptor reusable (state), then modify new data block area
+ *
+ *   data_alloc:A / data_push_tail:B
+ *     push data tail (lpos), then modify new data block area
+ *
+ *   prb_commit:B / desc_read:B
+ *     store writer changes, then set new descriptor committed (state)
+ *
+ *   data_push_tail:D / data_push_tail:A
+ *     set descriptor reusable (state), then push data tail (lpos)
+ *
+ *   desc_push_tail:B / desc_reserve:D
+ *     set descriptor reusable (state), then push descriptor tail (id)

+ * records, but skip over them.
+ *
+ * To satisfy Req3, the last descriptor in the array is used as the initial
+ * head (and tail) descriptor. This allows the first record reserved by a
+ * writer (head + 1) to be the first descriptor in the array. (Only the first
+ * descriptor in the array could have a valid sequence number of 0.)
+ *
+ * The first time a descriptor is reserved, it is assigned a sequence number
+ * with the value of the array index. A "first time reserved" descriptor can
+ * be recognized because it has a sequence number of 0 but does not have an
+ * index of 0. (Only the first descriptor in the array could have a valid
+ * sequence number of 0.) After the first reservation, all future reservations
+ * (recycling) simply involve incrementing the sequence number by the array
+ * count.
+ *
+ *   Hack #1
+ *     Only the first descriptor in the array is allowed to have the sequence
+ *     number 0. In this case it is not possible to recognize if it is being
+ *     reserved the first time (set to index value) or has been reserved
+ *     previously (increment by the array count). This is handled by _always_
+ *     incrementing the sequence number by the array count when reserving the
+ *     first descriptor in the array. In order to satisfy Req3, the sequence
+ *     number of the first descriptor in the array is initialized to minus
+ *     the array count. Then, upon the first reservation, it is incremented
+ *     to 0, thus satisfying Req3.
+ *
+ *   Hack #2
+ *     prb_first_seq() can be called at any time by readers to retrieve the
+ *     sequence number of the tail descriptor. However, due to Req2 and Req3,
+ *     initially there are no records to report the sequence number of
+ *     (sequence numbers are u64 and there is nothing less than 0). To handle
+ *     this, the sequence number of the initial tail descriptor is initialized
+ *     to 0. Technically this is incorrect, because there is no record with
+ *     sequence number 0 (yet) and the tail descriptor is not the first
+ *     descriptor in the array. But it allows prb_read_valid() to correctly
+ *     report the existence of a record for _any_ given sequence number at all
+ *     times. Bootstrapping is complete when the tail is pushed the first
+ *     time, thus finally pointing to the first descriptor reserved by a
+ *     writer, which has the assigned sequence number 0.
