pstore: new filesystem interface to platform persistent storage Some platforms have a small amount of non-volatile storage that can be used to store information useful to diagnose the cause of a system crash. This is the generic part of a file system interface that presents information from the crash as a series of files in /dev/pstore. Once the information has been seen, the underlying storage is freed by deleting the files. Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

pstore: add pstore unregister pstore doesn't support unregistering yet. It was marked as TODO. This patch adds some code to fix it: 1) Add functions to unregister kmsg/console/ftrace/pmsg. 2) Add a function to free compression buffer. 3) Unmap the memory and free it. 4) Add a function to unregister pstore filesystem.

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.
ramoops: Move to fs/pstore/ram.c Since ramoops was converted to pstore, it has nothing to do with character devices nowadays. Instead, today it is just a RAM backend for pstore. The patch just moves things around. There are a few changes were needed because of the move: 1. Kconfig and Makefiles fixups, of course. 2. In pstore/ram.c we have to play a bit with MODULE_PARAM_PREFIX, this is needed to keep user experience the same as with ramoops driver (i.e. so that ramoops.foo kernel command line arguments would still work).

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: add lzo/lz4 compression support Like zlib compression in pstore, this patch added lzo and lz4 compression support so that users can have more options and better compression ratio. The original code treats the compressed data together with the uncompressed ECC correction notice by using zlib decompress. The ECC correction notice is missing in the decompression process. The treatment also makes lzo and lz4 not working. So I treat them separately by using pstore_decompress() to treat the compressed data, and memcpy() to treat the uncompressed ECC correction notice.

depends on PSTORE_COMPRESS
help
This option chooses the default active compression algorithm.
This change be changed at boot with "pstore.compress=..." on
the kernel command line.
Currently, pstore has support for 5 compression algorithms:
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: add lzo/lz4 compression support Like zlib compression in pstore, this patch added lzo and lz4 compression support so that users can have more options and better compression ratio. The original code treats the compressed data together with the uncompressed ECC correction notice by using zlib decompress. The ECC correction notice is missing in the decompression process. The treatment also makes lzo and lz4 not working. So I treat them separately by using pstore_decompress() to treat the compressed data, and memcpy() to treat the uncompressed ECC correction notice.

pstore: Add console log messages support Pstore doesn't support logging kernel messages in run-time, it only dumps dmesg when kernel oopses/panics. This makes pstore useless for debugging hangs caused by HW issues or improper use of HW (e.g. weird device inserted -> driver tried to write a reserved bits -> SoC hanged. In that case we don't get any messages in the pstore. Therefore, let's add a runtime logging support: PSTORE_TYPE_CONSOLE.

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').
