Use the CPU and task name captured at printk() time from
nbcon_write_context instead of querying the current execution context.
This provides accurate information about where the message originated,
rather than where netconsole happens to be running.
For CPU, use wctxt->cpu instead of raw_smp_processor_id().
For taskname, use wctxt->comm directly which contains the task
name captured at printk time.
This change ensures netconsole outputs reflect the actual context that
generated the log message, which is especially important when the
console driver runs asynchronously in a dedicated thread.

Convert netconsole from the legacy console API to the NBCON framework.
NBCON provides threaded printing which unblocks printk()s and flushes in
a thread, decoupling network TX from printk() when netconsole is
in use.
Since netconsole relies on the network stack which cannot safely operate
from all atomic contexts, mark both consoles with
CON_NBCON_ATOMIC_UNSAFE. (See discussion in [1])
CON_NBCON_ATOMIC_UNSAFE restricts write_atomic() usage to emergency
scenarios (panic) where regular messages are sent in threaded mode.
Implementation changes:
- Unify write_ext_msg() and write_msg() into netconsole_write()
- Add device_lock/device_unlock callbacks to manage target_list_lock
- Use nbcon_enter_unsafe()/nbcon_exit_unsafe() around network
operations.
- If nbcon_enter_unsafe() fails, just return given netconsole lost
the ownership of the console.
- Set write_thread and write_atomic callbacks (both use same function)

Extract the message fragmentation logic from write_msg() into a
dedicated send_msg_udp() function. This improves code readability
and prepares for future enhancements.
The new send_msg_udp() function handles splitting messages that
exceed MAX_PRINT_CHUNK into smaller fragments and sending them
sequentially. This function is placed before send_ext_msg_udp()
to maintain a logical ordering of related functions.
No functional changes - this is purely a refactoring commit.

Attempt to resume a previously deactivated target when the associated
interface comes back (NETDEV_REGISTER) or when it changes name
(NETDEV_CHANGENAME) by calling netpoll_setup on the device.
Depending on how the target was setup (by mac or interface name), the
corresponding field is compared with the device being brought up. Targets
that match the incoming device, are scheduled for resume on a workqueue.
Resuming happens on a workqueue as we can't execute netpoll_setup in the
context of the netdev event. A standalone workqueue (as opposed to the
global one) is used to allow for proper cleanup process during
netconsole module cleanup as we need to be able to flush all pending
work before traversing the target list given that targets are temporarily
removed from the list during resume_target.
Target transitions to STATE_DISABLED in case of failures resuming it to
avoid retrying the same target indefinitely.

This patch makes sure netconsole clears dev_name for devices bound by mac
in order to allow calling setup_netpoll on targets that have previously
been cleaned up (in order to support resuming deactivated targets).
This is required as netpoll_setup populates dev_name even when devices are
matched via mac address. The cleanup is done inside netconsole as bound
by mac is a netconsole concept.

When the low level interface brings a netconsole target down, record this
using a new STATE_DEACTIVATED state. This allows netconsole to distinguish
between targets explicitly disabled by users and those deactivated due to
interface state changes.
It also enables automatic recovery and re-enabling of targets if the
underlying low-level interfaces come back online.
From a code perspective, anything that is not STATE_ENABLED is disabled.
Devices (de)enslaving are marked STATE_DISABLED to prevent automatically
resuming as enslaved interfaces cannot have netconsole enabled.

Remove <linux/hex.h> from <linux/kernel.h> and update all users/callers of
hex.h interfaces to directly #include <linux/hex.h> as part of the process
of putting kernel.h on a diet.
Removing hex.h from kernel.h means that 36K C source files don't have to
pay the price of parsing hex.h for the roughly 120 C source files that
need it.
This change has been build-tested with allmodconfig on most ARCHes. Also,
all users/callers of <linux/hex.h> in the entire source tree have been
updated if needed (if not already #included).

Increase MAX_USERDATA_ITEMS from 16 to 256 entries now that the userdata
buffer is allocated dynamically.
The previous limit of 16 was necessary because the buffer was statically
allocated for all targets. With dynamic allocation, we can support more
entries without wasting memory on targets that don't use userdata.
This allows users to attach more metadata to their netconsole messages,
which is useful for complex debugging and logging scenarios.
Also update the testcase accordingly.

The userdata buffer in struct netconsole_target is currently statically
allocated with a size of MAX_USERDATA_ITEMS * MAX_EXTRADATA_ENTRY_LEN
(16 * 256 = 4096 bytes). This wastes memory when userdata entries are
not used or when only a few entries are configured, which is common in
typical usage scenarios. It also forces us to keep MAX_USERDATA_ITEMS
small to limit the memory wasted.
Change the userdata buffer from a static array to a dynamically
allocated pointer. The buffer is now allocated on-demand in
update_userdata() whenever userdata entries are added, modified, or
removed via configfs. The implementation calculates the exact size
needed for all current userdata entries, allocates a new buffer of that
size, formats the entries into it, and atomically swaps it with the old
buffer.
This approach provides several benefits:
- Memory efficiency: Targets with no userdata use zero bytes instead of
4KB, and targets with userdata only allocate what they need;
- Scalability: Makes it practical to increase MAX_USERDATA_ITEMS to a
much larger value without imposing a fixed memory cost on every
target;
- No hot-path overhead: Allocation occurs during configuration (write to
configfs), not during message transmission
If memory allocation fails during userdata update, -ENOMEM is returned
to userspace through the configfs attribute write operation.
The sysdata buffer remains statically allocated since it has a smaller
fixed size (MAX_SYSDATA_ITEMS * MAX_EXTRADATA_ENTRY_LEN = 4 * 256 = 1024
bytes) and its content length is less predictable.

Separate userdata and sysdata into distinct buffers to enable independent
management. Previously, both were stored in a single extradata_complete
buffer with a fixed size that accommodated both types of data.
This separation allows:
- userdata to grow dynamically (in subsequent patch)
- sysdata to remain in a small static buffer
- removal of complex entry counting logic that tracked both types together
The split also simplifies the code by eliminating the need to check total
entry count across both userdata and sysdata when enabling features,
which allows to drop holding su_mutex on sysdata_*_enabled_store().
No functional change in this patch, just structural preparation for
dynamic userdata allocation.

Refactor send_fragmented_body() to use separate offset tracking for
msgbody, and extradata instead of complex conditional logic.
The previous implementation used boolean flags and calculated offsets
which made the code harder to follow.
The new implementation maintains independent offset counters
(msgbody_offset, extradata_offset) and processes each section
sequentially, making the data flow more straightforward and the code
easier to maintain.
This is a preparatory refactoring with no functional changes, which will
allow easily splitting extradata_complete into separate userdata and
sysdata buffers in the next patch.

There is a race between operations that iterate over the userdata
cg_children list and concurrent add/remove of userdata items through
configfs. The update_userdata() function iterates over the
nt->userdata_group.cg_children list, and count_extradata_entries() also
iterates over this same list to count nodes.
Quoting from Documentation/filesystems/configfs.rst:
> A subsystem can navigate the cg_children list and the ci_parent pointer
> to see the tree created by the subsystem. This can race with configfs'
> management of the hierarchy, so configfs uses the subsystem mutex to
> protect modifications. Whenever a subsystem wants to navigate the
> hierarchy, it must do so under the protection of the subsystem
> mutex.
Without proper locking, if a userdata item is added or removed
concurrently while these functions are iterating, the list can be
accessed in an inconsistent state. For example, the list_for_each() loop
can reach a node that is being removed from the list by list_del_init()
which sets the nodes' .next pointer to point to itself, so the loop will
never end (or reach the WARN_ON_ONCE in update_userdata() ).
Fix this by holding the configfs subsystem mutex (su_mutex) during all
operations that iterate over cg_children.
This includes:
- userdatum_value_store() which calls update_userdata() to iterate over
cg_children
- All sysdata_*_enabled_store() functions which call
count_extradata_entries() to iterate over cg_children
The su_mutex must be acquired before dynamic_netconsole_mutex to avoid
potential lock ordering issues, as configfs operations may already hold
su_mutex when calling into our code.

The update_userdata() function constructs the complete userdata string
in nt->extradata_complete and updates nt->userdata_length. This data
is then read by write_msg() and write_ext_msg() when sending netconsole
messages. However, update_userdata() was not holding target_list_lock
during this process, allowing concurrent message transmission to read
partially updated userdata.
This race condition could result in netconsole messages containing
incomplete or inconsistent userdata - for example, reading the old
userdata_length with new extradata_complete content, or vice versa,
leading to truncated or corrupted output.
Fix this by acquiring target_list_lock with spin_lock_irqsave() before
updating extradata_complete and userdata_length, and releasing it after
both fields are fully updated. This ensures that readers see a
consistent view of the userdata, preventing corruption during concurrent
access.
The fix aligns with the existing locking pattern used throughout the
netconsole code, where target_list_lock protects access to target
fields including buf[] and msgcounter that are accessed during message
transmission.
Also get rid of the unnecessary variable complete_idx, which makes it
easier to bail out of update_userdata().

Move netpoll_parse_ip_addr() and netpoll_parse_options() from the generic
netpoll module to the netconsole module where they are actually used.

- Removing unnecessary exported symbols from netpoll
- Making netpoll_parse_options() static (no longer needs global visibility)
- Reducing coupling between netpoll and netconsole modules
The functions remain functionally identical - this is purely a code

the changes:
1) Move both functions from netpoll to netconsole
2) Add static to netpoll_parse_options()
3) Removed the EXPORT_SYMBOL()

Before appending sysdata, prepare_extradata() checks if any feature is
enabled in sysdata_fields (and exits early if none is enabled).
When SYSDATA_RELEASE was introduced, we missed adding it to the list of
features being checked against sysdata_fields in prepare_extradata().
The result was that, if only SYSDATA_RELEASE is enabled in
sysdata_fields, we incorreclty exit early and fail to append the
release.
Instead of checking specific bits in sysdata_fields, check if
sysdata_fields has ALL bit zeroed and exit early if true. This fixes
case when only SYSDATA_RELEASE enabled and makes the code more general /
less error prone in future feature implementation.

The netconsole driver currently registers the basic console driver
unconditionally during initialization, even when only extended targets
are configured. This results in unnecessary console registration and
performance overhead, as the write_msg() callback is invoked for every
log message only to return early when no matching targets are found.
Optimize the driver by conditionally registering console drivers based
on the actual target configuration. The basic console driver is now
registered only when non-extended targets exist, same as the extended
console. The implementation also handles dynamic target creation through
the configfs interface.
This change eliminates unnecessary console driver registrations,
redundant write_msg() callbacks for unused console types, and associated
lock contention and target list iterations. The optimization is
particularly beneficial for systems using only the most common extended
console type.

This is the core patch for this whole patchset. Add support for
including the current task's name in netconsole's extra data output.
This adds a new append_taskname() function that writes the task name
(from current->comm) into the target's extradata buffer, similar to how
CPU numbers are handled.
The task name is included when the SYSDATA_TASKNAME field is set,
appearing in the format "taskname=<name>" in the output. This additional
context can help with debugging by showing which task generated each
console message.

Extract CPU number formatting logic from prepare_extradata() into a new
append_cpu_nr() function.
This refactoring improves code organization by isolating CPU number
formatting into its own function while reducing the complexity of
prepare_extradata().
The change prepares the codebase for the upcoming taskname feature by
establishing a consistent pattern for handling sysdata features.
The CPU number formatting logic itself remains unchanged; only its
location has moved to improve maintainability.

Add infrastructure to automatically append kernel-generated data (sysdata)
to netconsole messages. As the first use case, implement CPU number
population, which adds the CPU that sent the message.
This change introduces three distinct data types:
- extradata: The complete set of appended data (sysdata + userdata)
- userdata: User-provided key-value pairs from userspace
- sysdata: Kernel-populated data (e.g. cpu=XX)
The implementation adds a new configfs attribute 'cpu_nr' to control CPU
number population per target. When enabled, each message is tagged with
its originating CPU. The sysdata is dynamically updated at message time
and appended after any existing userdata.
The CPU number is formatted as "cpu=XX" and is added to the extradata
buffer, respecting the existing size limits.

Rename "userdata" to "extradata" since this structure will hold both
user and system data in future patches. Keep "userdata" term only for
data that comes from userspace (configfs), while "extradata" encompasses
both userdata and future kerneldata.
These are the rules of the design
1. extradata_complete will hold userdata and sysdata (coming)
2. sysdata will come after userdata_length
3. extradata_complete[userdata_length] string will be replaced at every
message
5. userdata is replaced when configfs changes (update_userdata())
6. sysdata is replaced at every message
Example:
extradata_complete = "userkey=uservalue cpu=42"
userdata_length = 17
sysdata_length = 7 (space (" ") is part of sysdata)
Since sysdata is still not available, you will see the following in the
send functions:
extradata_len = nt->userdata_length;
The upcoming patches will, which will add support for sysdata, will
change it to:
extradata_len = nt->userdata_length + sysdata_len;

Move the static buffers from send_msg_no_fragmentation() and
send_msg_fragmented() into the netconsole_target structure. This
simplifies the code by:
- Eliminating redundant static buffers
- Centralizing buffer management in the target structure
- Reducing memory usage by 1KB (one buffer instead of two)
The buffer in netconsole_target is protected by target_list_lock,
maintaining the same synchronization semantics as the original code.
