doc:kmsg: explicitly state the return value in case of SEEK_CUR

The commit 625d3449788f ("Revert "kernel/printk: add kmsg SEEK_CUR
handling"") reverted a change done to the return value in case a SEEK_CUR
operation was performed for kmsg buffer based on the fact that different
userspace apps were handling the new return value (-ESPIPE) in different
ways, breaking them.

At the same time -ESPIPE was the wrong decision because kmsg /does support/
seek() but doesn't follow the "normal" behavior userspace is used to.
Because of that and also considering the time -EINVAL has been used, it was
decided to keep this way to avoid more userspace breakage.

This patch adds an official statement to the kmsg documentation pointing to
the current return value for SEEK_CUR, -EINVAL, thus userspace libraries
and apps can refer to it for a definitive guide on what to expect.

Revert "kernel/printk: add kmsg SEEK_CUR handling"

This reverts commit 8ece3b3eb576a78d2e67ad4c3a80a39fa6708809.

This commit broke userspace. Bash uses ESPIPE to determine whether or
not the file should be read using "unbuffered I/O", which means reading
1 byte at a time instead of 128 bytes at a time. I used to use bash to
read through kmsg in a really quite nasty way:

while read -t 0.1 -r line 2>/dev/null || [[ $? -ne 142 ]]; do
echo "SARU $line"
done < /dev/kmsg

This will show all lines that can fit into the 128 byte buffer, and skip
lines that don't. That's pretty awful, but at least it worked.

With this change, bash now tries to do 1-byte reads, which means it
skips all the lines, which is worse than before.

Now, I don't really care very much about this, and I'm already look for
a workaround. But I did just spend an hour trying to figure out why my
scripts were broken. Either way, it makes no difference to me personally
whether this is reverted, but it might be something to consider. If you
declare that "trying to read /dev/kmsg with bash is terminally stupid
anyway," I might be inclined to agree with you. But do note that bash
uses lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_CUR)==>ESPIPE to determine whether or not it's
reading from a pipe.

Merge tag 'printk-for-5.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:

- Benjamin Herrenschmidt solved a problem with non-matched console
aliases by first checking consoles defined on the command line. It is
a more conservative approach than the previous attempts.

- Benjamin also made sure that the console accessible via /dev/console
always has CON_CONSDEV flag.

- Andy Shevchenko added the %ptT modifier for printing struct time64_t.
It extends the existing %ptR handling for struct rtc_time.

- Bruno Meneguele fixed /dev/kmsg error value returned by unsupported
SEEK_CUR.

- Tetsuo Handa removed unused pr_cont_once().

... and a few small fixes.

kernel/printk: add kmsg SEEK_CUR handling

Userspace libraries, e.g. glibc's dprintf(), perform a SEEK_CUR operation
over any file descriptor requested to make sure the current position isn't
pointing to junk due to previous manipulation of that same fd. And whenever
that fd doesn't have support for such operation, the userspace code expects
-ESPIPE to be returned.

However, when the fd in question references the /dev/kmsg interface, the
current kernel code state returns -EINVAL instead, causing an unexpected
behavior in userspace: in the case of glibc, when -ESPIPE is returned it
gets ignored and the call completes successfully, while returning -EINVAL
forces dprintf to fail without performing any action over that fd:

if (_IO_SEEKOFF (fp, (off64_t)0, _IO_seek_cur, _IOS_INPUT|_IOS_OUTPUT) ==
_IO_pos_BAD && errno != ESPIPE)
return NULL;

With this patch we make sure to return the correct value when SEEK_CUR is
requested over kmsg and also add some kernel doc information to formalize
this behavior.
