ratelimit: Fix data-races in ___ratelimit().

While reading rs->interval and rs->burst, they can be changed
concurrently via sysctl (e.g. net_ratelimit_state). Thus, we
need to add READ_ONCE() to their readers.

lib/ratelimit.c: use deferred printk() version

printk_ratelimit() invokes ___ratelimit() which may invoke a normal
printk() (pr_warn() in this particular case) to warn about suppressed
output. Given that printk_ratelimit() may be called from anywhere, that
pr_warn() is dangerous - it may end up deadlocking the system. Fix
___ratelimit() by using deferred printk().

ratelimit: extend to print suppressed messages on release

Extend the ratelimiting facility to print the amount of suppressed lines
when it is being released.

This use case is aimed at short-termed, burst-like users for which we
want to output the suppressed lines stats only once, after it has been
disposed of. For an example, see /dev/kmsg usage in a follow-on patch.

Also, change the printk() line we issue on release to not use
"callbacks" as it is misleading: we're not suppressing callbacks but
printk() calls.

This has been separated from a previous patch by Linus.

ratelimit: fix bug in time interval by resetting right begin time

rs->begin in ratelimit is set in two cases.
1) when rs->begin was not initialized
2) when rs->interval was passed

For case #2, current ratelimit sets the begin to 0. This incurrs
improper suppression. The begin value will be set in the next ratelimit
call by 1). Then the time interval check will be always false, and
rs->printed will not be initialized. Although enough time passed,
ratelimit may return 0 if rs->printed is not less than rs->burst. To
reset interval properly, begin should be jiffies rather than 0.

For an example code below:

static DEFINE_RATELIMIT_STATE(mylimit, 1, 1);
for (i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
if (__ratelimit(&mylimit))
printk("ratelimit test count %d\n", i);
msleep(3000);
}

test result in the current code shows suppression even there is 3 seconds sleep.

locking, printk: Annotate logbuf_lock as raw

The logbuf_lock lock can be taken in atomic context and therefore
cannot be preempted on -rt - annotate it.

In mainline this change documents the low level nature of
the lock - otherwise there's no functional difference. Lockdep
and Sparse checking will work as usual.

The log of commit edaac8e3167501cda336231d00611bf59c164346 ("ratelimit:

ratelimit: Make suppressed output messages more useful

Today I got:

[39648.224782] Registered led device: iwl-phy0::TX
[40676.545099] __ratelimit: 246 callbacks suppressed
[40676.545103] abcdef[23675]: segfault at 0 ...

as you can see the ratelimit message contains a function prefix.
Since this is always __ratelimit, this wont help much.

This patch changes __ratelimit and printk_ratelimit to print the
function name that calls ratelimit.

This will pinpoint the responsible function, as long as not several
different places call ratelimit with the same ratelimit state at
the same time. In that case we catch only one random function that
calls ratelimit after the wait period.

printk: Remove ratelimit.h from kernel.h

Decouple kernel.h from ratelimit.h: the global declaration of
printk's ratelimit_state is not needed, and it leads to messy
circular dependencies due to ratelimit.h's (new) adding of a
spinlock_types.h include.

ratelimit: Fix/allow use in atomic contexts

I'd like to use printk_ratelimit() in NMI context, but it's not
robust right now due to spinlock usage in lib/ratelimit.c. If an
NMI is unlucky enough to hit just that spot we might lock up trying
to take the spinlock again.

Fix that by using a trylock variant. If we contend on that lock we
can genuinely skip the message because the state is just being
accessed by another CPU (or by this CPU).

( We could use atomics for the suppressed messages field, but
i doubt it matters in practice and it makes the code heavier. )

ratelimit: Use per ratelimit context locking

I'd like to use printk_ratelimit() in atomic context, but that's
not possible right now due to the spinlock usage this commit
introduced more than a year ago:

717115e: printk ratelimiting rewrite

As a first step push the lock into the ratelimit state structure.
This allows us to deal with locking failures to be considered as an
event related to that state being too busy.

Also clean up the code a bit (without changing functionality):

- tidy up the definitions

- clean up the code flow

This also shrinks the code a tiny bit:

text data bss dec hex filename
264 0 4 268 10c ratelimit.o.before
255 0 0 255 ff ratelimit.o.after

( Whole-kernel data size got a bit larger, because we have
two ratelimit-state data structures right now. )

printk ratelimiting rewrite

All ratelimit user use same jiffies and burst params, so some messages
(callbacks) will be lost.

For example:
a call printk_ratelimit(5 * HZ, 1)
b call printk_ratelimit(5 * HZ, 1) before the 5*HZ timeout of a, then b will
will be supressed.

- rewrite __ratelimit, and use a ratelimit_state as parameter. Thanks for
hints from andrew.

- Add WARN_ON_RATELIMIT, update rcupreempt.h

- remove __printk_ratelimit

- use __ratelimit in net_ratelimit
