To effectively use the multi-instance mode, -open of /dev/ptmx must be a redirected to '/dev/pts/ptmx' using a symlink or -bind-mount. - -Eg: A container startup script could do the following: - - $ chmod 0666 /dev/pts/ptmx - $ rm /dev/ptmx - $ ln -s pts/ptmx /dev/ptmx - $ ns_exec -cm /bin/bash - - # We are now in new container - - $ umount /dev/pts - $ mount -t devpts -o newinstance lxcpts /dev/pts - $ sshd -p 1234 - -where 'ns_exec -cm /bin/bash' calls clone() with CLONE_NEWNS flag and execs -/bin/bash in the child process. A pty created by the sshd is not visible in -the original mount of /dev/pts. +As an option instead of placing a /dev/ptmx device node at /dev/ptmx +it is possible to place a symlink to /dev/pts/ptmx at /dev/ptmx or +to bind mount /dev/ptx/ptmx to /dev/ptmx. If you opt for using +the devpts filesystem in this manner devpts should be mounted with +the ptmxmode=0666, or chmod 0666 /dev/pts/ptmx should be called. Total count of pty pairs in all instances is limited by sysctls: kernel.pty.max = 4096 - global limit -kernel.pty.reserve = 1024 - reserve for initial instance +kernel.pty.reserve = 1024 - reserved for filesystems mounted from the initial mount namespace kernel.pty.nr - current count of ptys Per-instance limit could be set by adding mount option "max=<count>". This feature was added in kernel 3.4 together with sysctl kernel.pty.reserve. In kernels older than 3.4 sysctl kernel.pty.max works as per-instance limit. - -User-space changes ------------------- - -In multi-instance mode (i.e '-o newinstance' mount option is specified at least -once), following user-space issues should be noted. - -1. If -o newinstance mount option is never used, /dev/pts/ptmx can be ignored - and no change is needed to system-startup scripts. - -2. To effectively use multi-instance mode (i.e -o newinstance is specified) - administrators or startup scripts should "redirect" open of /dev/ptmx to - /dev/pts/ptmx using either a bind mount or symlink. - - $ mount -t devpts -o newinstance devpts /dev/pts - - followed by either - - $ rm /dev/ptmx - $ ln -s pts/ptmx /dev/ptmx - $ chmod 666 /dev/pts/ptmx - or - $ mount -o bind /dev/pts/ptmx /dev/ptmx - -3. The '/dev/ptmx -> pts/ptmx' symlink is the preferred method since it - enables better error-reporting and treats both single-instance and - multi-instance mounts similarly. - - But this method requires that system-startup scripts set the mode of - /dev/pts/ptmx correctly (default mode is 0000). The scripts can set the - mode by, either - - - adding ptmxmode mount option to devpts entry in /etc/fstab, or - - using 'chmod 0666 /dev/pts/ptmx' - -4. If multi-instance mode mount is needed for containers, but the system - startup scripts have not yet been updated, container-startup scripts - should bind mount /dev/ptmx to /dev/pts/ptmx to avoid breaking single- - instance mounts. - - Or, in general, container-startup scripts should use: - - mount -t devpts -o newinstance -o ptmxmode=0666 devpts /dev/pts - if [ ! -L /dev/ptmx ]; then - mount -o bind /dev/pts/ptmx /dev/ptmx - fi - - When all devpts mounts are multi-instance, /dev/ptmx can permanently be - a symlink to pts/ptmx and the bind mount can be ignored. - -5. A multi-instance mount that is not accompanied by the /dev/ptmx to - /dev/pts/ptmx redirection would result in an unusable/unreachable pty. - - mount -t devpts -o newinstance lxcpts /dev/pts - - immediately followed by: - - open("/dev/ptmx") - - would create a pty, say /dev/pts/7, in the initial kernel mount. - But /dev/pts/7 would be invisible in the new mount. - -6. The permissions for /dev/pts/ptmx node should be specified when mounting - /dev/pts, using the '-o ptmxmode=%o' mount option (default is 0000). - - mount -t devpts -o newinstance -o ptmxmode=0644 devpts /dev/pts - - The permissions can be later be changed as usual with 'chmod'. - - chmod 666 /dev/pts/ptmx - -7. A mount of devpts without the 'newinstance' option results in binding to - initial kernel mount. This behavior while preserving legacy semantics, - does not provide strict isolation in a container environment. i.e by - mounting devpts without the 'newinstance' option, a container could - get visibility into the 'host' or root container's devpts. - - To workaround this and have strict isolation, all mounts of devpts, - including the mount in the root container, should use the newinstance - option. diff --git a/Documentation/gdb-kernel-debugging.txt b/Documentation/gdb-kernel-debugging.txt index 4ab7d43d0754..7050ce8794b9 100644 --- a/Documentation/gdb-kernel-debugging.txt +++ b/Documentation/gdb-kernel-debugging.txt @@ -139,27 +139,6 @@ Examples of using the Linux-provided gdb helpers start_comm = "swapper/2\000\000\000\000\000\000" } - o Dig into a radix tree data structure, such as the IRQ descriptors: - (gdb) print (struct irq_desc)$lx_radix_tree_lookup(irq_desc_tree, 18) - $6 = { - irq_common_data = { - state_use_accessors = 67584, - handler_data = 0x0 <__vectors_start>, - msi_desc = 0x0 <__vectors_start>, - affinity = {{ - bits = {65535} - }} - }, - irq_data = { - mask = 0, - irq = 18, - hwirq = 27, - common = 0xee803d80, - chip = 0xc0eb0854 <gic_data>, - domain = 0xee808000, - parent_data = 0x0 <__vectors_start>, - chip_data = 0xc0eb0854 <gic_data> - } <... trimmed ...> List of commands and functions ------------------------------ diff --git a/Documentation/kdump/gdbmacros.txt b/Documentation/kdump/gdbmacros.txt index 35f6a982a0d5..220d0a80ca2c 100644 --- a/Documentation/kdump/gdbmacros.txt +++ b/Documentation/kdump/gdbmacros.txt @@ -170,21 +170,92 @@ document trapinfo address the kernel panicked. end +define dump_log_idx + set $idx = $arg0 + if ($argc > 1) + set $prev_flags = $arg1 + else + set $prev_flags = 0 + end + set $msg = ((struct printk_log *) (log_buf + $idx)) + set $prefix = 1 + set $newline = 1 + set $log = log_buf + $idx + sizeof(*$msg) -define dmesg - set $i = 0 - set $end_idx = (log_end - 1) & (log_buf_len - 1) + # prev & LOG_CONT && !(msg->flags & LOG_PREIX) + if (($prev_flags & 8) && !($msg->flags & 4)) + set $prefix = 0 + end + + # msg->flags & LOG_CONT + if ($msg->flags & 8) + # (prev & LOG_CONT && !(prev & LOG_NEWLINE)) + if (($prev_flags & 8) && !($prev_flags & 2)) + set $prefix = 0 + end + # (!(msg->flags & LOG_NEWLINE)) + if (!($msg->flags & 2)) + set $newline = 0 + end + end + + if ($prefix) + printf "[%5lu.%06lu] ", $msg->ts_nsec / 1000000000, $msg->ts_nsec % 1000000000 + end + if ($msg->text_len != 0) + eval "printf \"%%%d.%ds\", $log", $msg->text_len, $msg->text_len + end + if ($newline) + printf "\n" + end + if ($msg->dict_len > 0) + set $dict = $log + $msg->text_len + set $idx = 0 + set $line = 1 + while ($idx < $msg->dict_len) + if ($line) + printf " " + set $line = 0 + end + set $c = $dict[$idx] + if ($c == '\0') + printf "\n" + set $line = 1 + else + if ($c < ' ' || $c >= 127 || $c == '\\') + printf "\\x%02x", $c + else + printf "%c", $c + end + end + set $idx = $idx + 1 + end + printf "\n" + end +end +document dump_log_idx + Dump a single log given its index in the log buffer.
