      printk: Restore previous console_loglevel when re-enabling logging · 1aaad49e
      Frans Pop authored 
      When logging to console is disabled from userspace using klogctl()
and later re-enabled, console_loglevel gets set to the default
log level instead to the previous value.

This means that if the kernel was booted with 'quiet', the boot is
suddenly no longer quiet after logging to console gets re-enabled.

Save the current console_loglevel when logging is disabled and
restore to that value. If the log level is set to a specific value
while disabled, this is interpreted as an implicit re-enabling of
the logging.

The problem that prompted this patch is described in:

    http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/28/234

There are two variations possible on the patch below:

 1) If klogctl(7) is called while logging is not disabled, then set level
    to default (partially preserving current functionality):
  	case 7:		/* Enable logging to console */
 -		console_loglevel = default_console_loglevel;
 +		if (saved_console_loglevel == -1)
 +			console_loglevel = default_console_loglevel;
 +		else {
 +			console_loglevel = saved_console_loglevel;
 +			saved_console_loglevel = -1;
 +		}

 2) If klogctl(8) is called while logging is disabled, then don't enable
    logging, but remember the requested value for when logging does get
    enabled again:
  	case 8:		/* Set level of messages printed to console */
 [...]
 - 		console_loglevel = len;
 +		if (saved_console_loglevel == -1)
 +			console_loglevel = len;
 +		else
 +			saved_console_loglevel = len;

Yet another option would be to ignore the request.

      printk: Ensure that "console enabled" messages are printed on the console · 8259cf43
      Robin Getz authored 
      Today, when a console is registered without CON_PRINTBUFFER,
end users never see the announcement of it being added, and
never know if they missed something, if the console is really
at the start or not, and just leads to general confusion.

This re-orders existing code, to make sure the console is
added, before the "console [%s%d] enabled" is printed out -
ensuring that this message is _always_ seen.

This has the desired/intended side effect of making sure that
"console enabled:" messages are printed on the bootconsole, and
the real console. This does cause the same line is printed
twice if the bootconsole and real console are the same device,
but if they are on different devices, the message is printed to
both consoles.

      printk: Enable the use of more than one CON_BOOT (early console) · 4d091611
      Robin Getz authored 
      Today, register_console() assumes the following usage:

  - The first console to register with a flag set to CON_BOOT
    is the one and only bootconsole.

  - If another register_console() is called with an additional
    CON_BOOT, it is silently rejected.

  - As soon as a console without the CON_BOOT set calls
    registers the bootconsole is automatically unregistered.

  - Once there is a "real" console - register_console() will
    silently reject any consoles with it's CON_BOOT flag set.

In many systems (alpha, blackfin, microblaze, mips, powerpc,
sh, & x86), there are early_printk implementations, which use
the CON_BOOT which come out serial ports, vga, usb, & memory
buffers.

In many embedded systems, it would be nice to have two
bootconsoles - in case the primary fails, you always have
access to a backup memory buffer - but this requires at least
two CON_BOOT consoles...

This patch enables that functionality.

With the change applied, on boot you get (if you try to
re-enable a boot console after the "real" console has been
registered):

  root:/> dmesg | grep console
  bootconsole [early_shadow0] enabled
  bootconsole [early_BFuart0] enabled
  Kernel command line: root=/dev/mtdblock0 rw earlyprintk=serial,uart0,57600 console=ttyBF0,57600 nmi_debug=regs
  console handover:boot [early_BFuart0] boot [early_shadow0]  -> real [ttyBF0]
  Too late to register bootconsole early_shadow0

or:

  root:/> dmesg | grep console
  Kernel command line: root=/dev/mtdblock0 rw console=ttyBF0,57600
  console [ttyBF0] enabled

      x86: fix power-of-2 round_up/round_down macros · 43644679
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      These macros had two bugs:
 - the type of the mask was not correctly expanded to the full size of
   the argument being expanded, resulting in possible loss of high bits
   when mixing types.
 - the alignment argument was evaluated twice, despite the macro looking
   like a fancy function (but it really does need to be a macro, since
   it works on arbitrary integer types)

Noticed by Peter Anvin, and with a fix that is a modification of his
suggestion (bug noticed by Yinghai Lu).

Note that this doesn't cover all the trivial wrappers, but does cover all the
