net-related logging: Don't see the expected output + crash in logging

[pfalcon]

Context: I'm developing a new network driver. I never wrote one from scratch, so doing a lot of stupid things. I would think that logging is there to help me, but instead, it puzzles me.

So, to reproduce this one, you'd need to look at the branch https://github.com/pfalcon/zephyr/tree/smsc9220-pfalcon-logging-issue . There lives the new WIP driver, and to test it, I made adhoc prj.conf changes to hello_world and echo_server samples. The changes are largely the same and include CONFIG_ETHERNET_LOG_LEVEL_DBG=y. I run:

hello_world$ zephyr-make BOARD=mps2_an385 run
[QEMU] CPU: cortex-m3
init ok
eth_smsc9220_isr: 0 0
eth_initialize
eth_tx
eth_tx
***** Booting Zephyr OS zephyr-v1.13.0-1494-gfabf4596e1 *****
[00:00:00.000,000] <err> eth_smsc9220.eth_init: MAC 52:54:00:12:34:56
Hello World! mps2_an385

That's the expected output (specifically <err> logging).

Now I run:

echo_server$ zephyr-make BOARD=mps2_an385 run
[QEMU] CPU: cortex-m3


uart:~$ init ok
eth_smsc9220_isr: 0 0
eth_initialize
eth_tx
eth_tx
***** Booting Zephyr OS zephyr-v1.13.0-1494-gfabf4596e1 *****
eth_tx

Which is not the expected output, as I miss that err logging of mac address.

(If you run these samples, you'll notice that soon after that output, they crash. Well, that's the issue I'd like logging to help me with, and not sure if it can, because from my PoV it works erratically even with simpler things.)

[pfalcon]

Also cc: @jukkar. Because you see, stuff works as expected in completely unrelated, barebones sample. And doesn't work with a proper networking sample, where one would expect everything work without a hitch. One could imagine that it's some bad interaction with networking logging.

So, to reproduce this one, you'd need to look at the branch https://github.com/pfalcon/zephyr/tree/smsc9220-pfalcon

Ok, as that branch is actually for feature development, I created https://github.com/pfalcon/zephyr/tree/smsc9220-pfalcon-logging-issue to serve just for reproducing of the issue described here (will edit link in the description too).

UPDATE: This crash is fixed in master.

Not creating another ticket for the following close issue:

Apply following patch:

diff --git a/samples/hello_world/prj.conf b/samples/hello_world/prj.conf

Then:

0x13b8 is in log_msg_create_n.

So, whatever happens, I don't expect logging to crash my app, there're enough ways it can crash without it ;-).

0x13b8 is in log_msg_create_n.

Heh, nevermind, appears to be fixed in master.

[pfalcon]

But the original issue from the description still holds with 2d78259

Actually, with that master, I would expect echo_server to log:

[00:00:00.000,000] <err> net_if.net_if_up: {assert: 'net_if_get_link_addr(iface)->addr != NULL' failed}

But it doesn't. (hello_world does)

[pfalcon]

But the original issue from the description still holds with 2d78259

smsc9220-pfalcon-logging-issue branch has now been rebased on that master.

@pfalcon, tried to reproduce but got following Cmake error:

kconfiglib.KconfigError: 
drivers/ethernet/Kconfig:35: 'drivers/ethernet/Kconfig.smsc9220' does not exist.

[pfalcon]

@nordic-krch: D'oh! Pushed that file.

@pfalcon i tried to reproduce, i'm getting following output:

Is this wrong?

One thing that i noticed is that after quitting qemu im no longer able to use terminal, it does not accept any new characters. Have you seen something like that? I'm running terminal on mint 19
