This command fetches the linux kernel log from host RAM and displays it
on stdout.

Almost any powernv kernel will support this. However it requires a
skiboot change in order to find the location of the kernel log buffer.
On systems without that change this command will return a message saying
it is unsupported.

The guts of the log parsing comes from benh's kmsg_dump.c.

The skiboot change has not been merged yet:

 http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/919508/

More importantly, this doesn't currently work, as we cannot read the
memory region that log_buf points to. Jump to the end of this essay to
see the error.

__log_buf[] is a statically allocated buffer that the kernel uses for
it's messages. However, we refer to it using the pointer log_buf, as the
kernel may chose to reallocate the buffer.

kernel/printk/printk.c:

        static char __log_buf[__LOG_BUF_LEN] __aligned(LOG_ALIGN);
        static char *log_buf = __log_buf;
        static u32 log_buf_len = __LOG_BUF_LEN;

        /* Return log buffer address */
        char *log_buf_addr_get(void)
        {
                return log_buf;
        }

        ...

	if (early) {
                new_log_buf =
                        memblock_virt_alloc(new_log_buf_len, LOG_ALIGN);
        } else {
                new_log_buf = memblock_virt_alloc_nopanic(new_log_buf_len,
                                                          LOG_ALIGN);
        }

The value gets retrieved via log_buf_addr_get in the powernv platform
code, and sent to skiboot via the opal_register_dump_region OPAL call.

arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/opal.c

        addr = log_buf_addr_get();
        if (addr == NULL)
                return;
        ...

        rc = opal_register_dump_region(OPAL_DUMP_REGION_LOG_BUF,
                                       __pa(addr), size);

Skiboot sticks this in the debug descriptor:

core/dump-region.c

        static int64_t bmc_opal_register_dump_region(uint32_t id,
                                                     uint64_t addr, uint64_t size)
        {
                ...
                prlog(PR_INFO, "Registered log buf at 0x%016llx\n", addr);
                debug_descriptor.log_buf_phys = addr;

Looking at the host's kallsyms, we can see where __log_buf starts. If we
hardcode that as the address to read from in pdbg, we can get data out:

/proc/kallsyms:
        c000000001572a88 d log_buf
        c0000000018bde84 b __log_buf

Here's the address we actually get:

/sys/firmware/opal/msglog:
        DUMP: Registered log buf at 0x0000201cc69e0000

When we getmem:

	$ pdbg -p0 getmem 0x0000201cc69e0000 8
	p9_adu_getmem: Unable to read memory. ALTD_STATUS_REG = 0x0080000000000000

This is an invalid address error:

8     RWX_WCLRREG             FBC_ALTD_ADDRESS_ERROR: Invalid Adress Error: PB respond with Adress Errror cresp

Let's not hardcode, please. Have you tried this with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE
and CONFIG_RELOCATABLE_TEST set?

I'm not sure the patch actually hardcodes the address if that's what you're
getting at? I think it's registered dynamically at boot time with an OPAL call.

Have you tested this on P8 at all? The ADU error is a bit strange so we will
have to get to the bottom of that, but having a dmesg command is pretty useful.

Yep.

Lets park this patch for the moment, for a few reasons:

We're having discussions on the skiboot list about how to store and
retrieve this information.

In addition, the command as it stands will not work once the host
buffer has wrapped. For most cases that's fine, as the host has a nice
long buffer, and when you're debugging a machine it hasn't been up for
months.

However I can see this being used in the field at a later date, so I
will fix it to work in all cases.

Cheers,

Joel
