We have a number of systems industry-wide that have a subset of their
functionality that works as follows:
1. Receive a message from local kmsg, serial console, or netconsole;
2. Apply a set of rules to classify the message;
3. Do something based on this classification (like scheduling a
remediation for the machine), rinse, and repeat.
As a couple of examples of places we have this implemented just inside
Facebook, although this isn't a Facebook-specific problem, we have this
inside our netconsole processing (for alarm classification), and as part
of our machine health checking. We use these messages to determine
fairly important metrics around production health, and it's important
that we get them right.
While for some kinds of issues we have counters, tracepoints, or metrics
with a stable interface which can reliably indicate the issue, in order
to react to production issues quickly we need to work with the interface
which most kernel developers naturally use when developing: printk.
Most production issues come from unexpected phenomena, and as such
usually the code in question doesn't have easily usable tracepoints or
other counters available for the specific problem being mitigated. We
have a number of lines of monitoring defence against problems in
production (host metrics, process metrics, service metrics, etc), and
where it's not feasible to reliably monitor at another level, this kind
of pragmatic netconsole monitoring is essential.
As you'd expect, monitoring using printk is rather brittle for a number
of reasons -- most notably that the message might disappear entirely in
a new version of the kernel, or that the message may change in some way
that the regex or other classification methods start to silently fail.
One factor that makes this even harder is that, under normal operation,
many of these messages are never expected to be hit. For example, there
may be some rare hardware bug which you want to detect if it was to ever
happen again, but its recurrence is not likely or anticipated. This
precludes using something like checking whether the printk in question
was printed somewhere fleetwide recently to determine whether the
message in question is still present or not, since we don't anticipate
that it should be printed anywhere, but still need to monitor for its
future presence in the long-term.
This class of issue has happened on a number of occasions, causing
unhealthy machines with hardware issues to remain in production for
longer than ideal. As a recent example, some monitoring around
blk_update_request fell out of date and caused semi-broken machines to
remain in production for longer than would be desirable.
Searching through the codebase to find the message is also extremely
fragile, because many of the messages are further constructed beyond
their callsite (eg. btrfs_printk and other module-specific wrappers,
each with their own functionality). Even if they aren't, guessing the
format and formulation of the underlying message based on the aesthetics
of the message emitted is not a recipe for success at scale, and our
previous issues with fleetwide machine health checking demonstrate as
much.
This patch provides a solution to the issue of silently changed or
deleted printks: we record pointers to all printk format strings known
at compile time into a new .printk_fmts section, both in vmlinux and
modules. At runtime, this can then be iterated by looking at
<debugfs>/printk/formats/<module>, which emits the same format as
`printk` itself, which we already export elsewhere (for example, in
netconsole).
As an example of how simple a parser for this format can be:
$ cat pf.py
#!/usr/bin/env python
with open("/sys/kernel/debug/printk/formats/vmlinux") as f:
raw_fmts = f.read().split("\x00")[:-1]
for raw_fmt in raw_fmts:
level, fmt = raw_fmt[1], raw_fmt[2:]
print(f"Level {level}: {fmt!r}")
$ ./pf.py | shuf -n 5
Level 4: 'Build ID is too large to include in vmcoreinfo: %u > %u\n'
Level 3: 'BIOS bug, no explicit IRQ entries, using default mptable. (tell your hw vendor)\n'
Level 3: 'Failed to execute %s (error %d)\n'
Level 3: 'CHRDEV "%s" minor range requested (%u-%u) is out of range of maximum range (%u-%u) for a single major\n'
Level 3: "slub_debug option '%c' unknown. skipped\n"
This mitigates the majority of cases where we have a highly-specific
printk which we want to match on, as we can now enumerate and check
whether the format changed or the printk callsite disappeared entirely
in userspace. This allows us to catch changes to printks we monitor
earlier and decide what to do about it before it becomes problematic.
There is no additional runtime cost for printk callers or printk itself,
and the assembly generated is exactly the same.

v2:
- Use seq_printf instead of step by step accumulation
- Scope fptr closer to its use
- Prevent seq_file from needing to alloc a new buffer
- Always provide KERN_SOH + level, even if caller omitted it
- Provide one file per module
- Update changelog to show ease of parsing
- Provide printk -> _printk for ARCH=um (thanks, LKP robot)
- Move to debugfs (thanks, Steven)

How can file ever be NULL?
And if it is an error, what is the problem here? You can always feed
the output of a debugfs_* call back into debugfs, and you never need to
check the return values.

Again, how can dfs_root be NULL?
And why care about any error? No kernel code should ever work
differently if debugfs is acting up or not.

Again, NULL can never happen. Where did you copy this logic from? I
need to go fix that...

Oh, thanks -- that's helpful to know. Looks like I misread
debugfs_create_{file,dir}. :-)
I'll send v3.
