Since printk_time can be toggled via /sys/module/printk/parameters/time , it is not safe to assume that output length does not change across multiple msg_print_text() calls. If we hit this race, we can observe failures such as SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL writes more bytes than userspace has supplied, SYSLOG_ACTION_SIZE_UNREAD returns -EFAULT when succeeded, SYSLOG_ACTION_READ reads garbage memory or even triggers an kernel oops at _copy_to_user() due to integer overflow. To close this race, get a snapshot value of printk_time and pass it to SYSLOG_ACTION_READ, SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL, SYSLOG_ACTION_SIZE_UNREAD and kmsg_dump_get_buffer().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
