ramoops: use pstore interface Instead of using /dev/mem directly and forcing userspace to know (or extract) where the platform has defined persistent memory, how many slots it has, the sizes, etc, use the common pstore infrastructure to handle Oops gathering and extraction. This presents a much easier to use filesystem-based view to the memory region. This also means that any other tools that are written to understand pstore will automatically be able to process ramoops too.

pstore-ram: Allow optional mapping with pgprot_noncached On some ARMs the memory can be mapped pgprot_noncached() and still be working for atomic operations. As pointed out by Colin Cross <ccross@android.com>, in some cases you do want to use pgprot_noncached() if the SoC supports it to see a debug printk just before a write hanging the system. On ARMs, the atomic operations on strongly ordered memory are implementation defined. So let's provide an optional kernel parameter for configuring pgprot_noncached(), and use pgprot_writecombine() by default.

ramoops: use DT reserved-memory bindings 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.

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').
