pstore: Add mem_type property DT parsing support There could be a scenario where we define some region in normal memory and use them store to logs which is later retrieved by bootloader during warm reset. In this scenario, we wanted to treat this memory as normal cacheable memory instead of default behaviour which is an overhead. Making it cacheable could improve performance. This commit gives control to change mem_type from Device tree, and also documents the value for normal memory.

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.

pstore/ram: Introduce max_reason and convert dump_oops Now that pstore_register() can correctly pass max_reason to the kmesg dump facility, introduce a new "max_reason" module parameter and "max-reason" Device Tree field. The "dump_oops" module parameter and "dump-oops" Device Tree field are now considered deprecated, but are now automatically converted to their corresponding max_reason values when present, though the new max_reason setting has precedence. For struct ramoops_platform_data, the "dump_oops" member is entirely replaced by a new "max_reason" member, with the only existing user updated in place. Additionally remove the "reason" filter logic from ramoops_pstore_write(), as that is not specifically needed anymore, though technically this is a change in behavior for any ramoops users also setting the printk.always_kmsg_dump boot param, which will cause ramoops to behave as if max_reason was set to KMSG_DUMP_MAX.

pstore/ramoops: Add ramoops.mem_name= command line option Add a method to find a region specified by reserve_mem=nn:align:name for ramoops. Adding a kernel command line parameter: reserve_mem=12M:4096:oops ramoops.mem_name=oops Will use the size and location defined by the memmap parameter where it finds the memory and labels it "oops". The "oops" in the ramoops option is used to search for it. This allows for arbitrary RAM to be used for ramoops if it is known that the memory is not cleared on kernel crashes or soft reboots.

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/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').
