kernel get stucks at boot if console=ttyS* is specified in the kernel cmdling and that serial HW isn't available on the system.
Reproduced using Ubuntu kernel (Bionic/v4.15) and mainline kernel v5.6 for now.
Removing the non-existent 'console=ttyS*' fixes the situation.
I tested it using KVM/qemu, but it has been brought to my attention that it was reproducible in VMware as well.
I think it is safe to say that it is unlikely to be specifics to a certain virtualization technology type.
Didn't test on baremetal, but I would suspect the same behaviour (until I'm proving wrong). |

kernel get stucks at boot if console=ttyS* is specified in the kernel cmdline and that serial HW isn't available on the system.
Reproduced with:
4.4 (from Xenial), 4.15 (from Bionic), 5.4 (native, Focal) and 5.7-next (mainline)
Removing the non-existent 'console=ttyS*' parameter fixes the situation.

[Impact]
* Currently, if users provide the wrong console in kernel command-line (like console=ttyS1, when the right one is ttyS0) *and* "quiet" parameter is not provided, we may face an infinite loop on initramfs-tools, effectively blocking the boot.
* Details are: the _log_msg() functions is "void" typed, which means it returns whatever its last command returns; this function is the basic building block for all error/warning messages in initramfs-tools. In case a bad console was provided to kernel on command-line, printf (and apparently all write()-related functions) returns error, and so this error is carried over in _log_msg().
* Happens that checkfs() function has a loop that runs forever in this scenario (*if* fsck is not present in initramfs, and obviously if "quiet" is not provided in the command-line). The situation is easily reproducible.
* This SRU proposes a pretty simple fix: return zero on _log_msg(). We should definitely not brake the boot due to error log functions.
[Test Case]
* To reproduce this, one must boot a system (virtual machine is good) with the wrong console set on kernel command-line through the "console=" parameter *and* not pass the "quiet" parameter.
* Also, e2fsck tool shouldn't be present in the initrd - for that, the 6th field of /etc/fstab (fs_passno) should be 0 and initrd must be recreated after that. This is the default in Ubuntu, though.
[Regression Potential]
* The regression potential is small, we're just returning 0 after a printf that is executed in error paths, so I don't expect any issues from that. But in case something bad happens after this change, I expect a more friendly" breakage, like an initramfs panic (drop to a shell), not a silent failure or boot-loop. |
