This option enables generic access to platform level
|
|
|
|
persistent storage via "pstore" filesystem that can
|
|
|
|
be mounted as /dev/pstore. Only useful if you have
|
|
|
|
a platform level driver that registers with pstore to
|
|
|
|
provide the data, so you probably should just go say "Y"
|
|
|
|
(or "M") to a platform specific persistent store driver
|
|
|
|
(e.g. ACPI_APEI on X86) which will select this for you.
|
|
|
|
If you don't have a platform persistent store driver,
|
|
|
|
say N.

pstore: Use crypto compress API
In the pstore compression part, we use zlib/lzo/lz4/lz4hc/842
compression algorithm API to implement pstore compression backends. But
there are many repeat codes in these implementations. This patch uses
crypto compress API to simplify these codes.
1) rewrite allocate_buf_for_compression, free_buf_for_compression,
pstore_compress, pstore_decompress functions using crypto compress API.
2) drop compress, decompress, allocate, free functions in pstore_zbackend,
and add zbufsize function to get each different compress buffer size.
3) use late_initcall to call ramoops_init later, to make sure the crypto
subsystem has already initialized.
4) use 'unsigned int' type instead of 'size_t' in pstore_compress,
pstore_decompress functions' length arguments.
5) rename 'zlib' to 'deflate' to follow the crypto API's name convention.

pstore/ftrace: Convert to its own enable/disable debugfs knob
With this patch we no longer reuse function tracer infrastructure, now
we register our own tracer back-end via a debugfs knob.
It's a bit more code, but that is the only downside. On the bright side we
have:
- Ability to make persistent_ram module removable (when needed, we can
move ftrace_ops struct into a module). Note that persistent_ram is still
not removable for other reasons, but with this patch it's just one
thing less to worry about;
- Pstore part is more isolated from the generic function tracer. We tried
it already by registering our own tracer in available_tracers, but that
way we're loosing ability to see the traces while we record them to
pstore. This solution is somewhere in the middle: we only register
"internal ftracer" back-end, but not the "front-end";
- When there is only pstore tracing enabled, the kernel will only write
to the pstore buffer, omitting function tracer buffer (which, of course,
still can be enabled via 'echo function > current_tracer').

to manage storage in zones.

pstore/blk: Introduce backend for block devices
pstore/blk is similar to pstore/ram, but uses a block device as the
storage rather than persistent ram.
The pstore/blk backend solves two common use-cases that used to preclude
using pstore/ram:
- not all devices have a battery that could be used to persist
regular RAM across power failures.
- most embedded intelligent equipment have no persistent ram, which
increases costs, instead preferring cheaper solutions, like block
devices.
pstore/blk provides separate configurations for the end user and for the
block drivers. User configuration determines how pstore/blk operates, such
as record sizes, max kmsg dump reasons, etc. These can be set by Kconfig
and/or module parameters, but module parameter have priority over Kconfig.
Driver configuration covers all the details about the target block device,
such as total size of the device and how to perform read/write operations.
These are provided by block drivers, calling pstore_register_blkdev(),
including an optional panic_write callback used to bypass regular IO
APIs in an effort to avoid potentially destabilized kernel code during
a panic.
