Instead of a ramoops-specific node, use a child node of /reserved-memory. This requires that of_platform_device_create() be explicitly called for the node, though, since "/reserved-memory" does not have its own "compatible" property.

Ramoops oops/panic logger
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
ramoops provides persistent RAM storage for oops and panics, so they can be
|
|
recovered after a reboot. This is a child-node of "/reserved-memory", and
|
|
is named "ramoops" after the backend, rather than "pstore" which is the
|
|
subsystem.
|
|
|
|
Parts of this storage may be set aside for other persistent log buffers, such
|
|
as kernel log messages, or for optional ECC error-correction data. The total
|
|
size of these optional buffers must fit in the reserved region.
|
|
|
|
Any remaining space will be used for a circular buffer of oops and panic
|
|
records. These records have a configurable size, with a size of 0 indicating
|
|
that they should be disabled.
|
|
|
|
At least one of "record-size", "console-size", "ftrace-size", or "pmsg-size"
|
|
must be set non-zero, but are otherwise optional as listed below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Required properties:
|
|
|
|
- compatible: must be "ramoops"
|
|
|
|
- reg: region of memory that is preserved between reboots
|
|
|
|
|
|
Optional properties:
|
|
|
|
- ecc-size: enables ECC support and specifies ECC buffer size in bytes
|
|
(defaults to 0: no ECC)
|
|
|
|
- record-size: maximum size in bytes of each dump done on oops/panic
|
|
(defaults to 0: disabled)
|
|
|
|
- console-size: size in bytes of log buffer reserved for kernel messages
|
|
(defaults to 0: disabled)
|
|
|
|
- ftrace-size: size in bytes of log buffer reserved for function tracing and
|
|
profiling (defaults to 0: disabled)
|
|
|
|
- pmsg-size: size in bytes of log buffer reserved for userspace messages
|
|
(defaults to 0: disabled)
|
|
|
|
- unbuffered: if present, use unbuffered mappings to map the reserved region
|
|
(defaults to buffered mappings)
|
|
|
|
- no-dump-oops: if present, only dump panics (defaults to panics and oops)
