      pstore: Convert console write to use ->write_buf · 70ad35db
      Namhyung Kim 提交于
      Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't know why it needs to copy the
      input buffer to psinfo->buf and then write.  Instead we can write the
      input buffer directly.  The only implementation that supports console
      message (i.e. ramoops) already does it for ftrace messages.
      
      For the upcoming virtio backend driver, it needs to protect psinfo->buf
      overwritten from console messages.  If it could use ->write_buf method
      instead of ->write, the problem will be solved easily.

      pstore/pmsg: drop bounce buffer · 5bf6d1b9
      Mark Salyzyn 提交于
      Removing a bounce buffer copy operation in the pmsg driver path is
      always better. We also gain in overall performance by not requesting
      a vmalloc on every write as this can cause precious RT tasks, such
      as user facing media operation, to stall while memory is being
      reclaimed. Added a write_buf_user to the pstore functions, a backup
      platform write_buf_user that uses the small buffer that is part of
      the instance, and implemented a ramoops write_buf_user that only
      supports PSTORE_TYPE_PMSG.

      pstore: Split pstore fragile flags · c950fd6f
      Namhyung Kim 提交于
      This patch adds new PSTORE_FLAGS for each pstore type so that they can
      be enabled separately.  This is a preparation for ongoing virtio-pstore
      work to support those types flexibly.
      
      The PSTORE_FLAGS_FRAGILE is changed to PSTORE_FLAGS_DMESG to preserve the

      pstore: add lzo/lz4 compression support · 8cfc8ddc
      Geliang Tang 提交于
      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: Return unique error if backend registration excluded by kernel param · 8e48b1a8
      Lenny Szubowicz 提交于
      This is patch 1/3 of a patch set that avoids what misleadingly appears
      to be a error during boot:
      
      ERST: Could not register with persistent store
      
      This message is displayed if the system has a valid ACPI ERST table and the
      pstore.backend kernel parameter has been used to disable use of ERST by
      pstore. But this same message is used for errors that preclude registration.
      
      As part of fixing this, return a unique error status from pstore_register
      if the pstore.backend kernel parameter selects a specific facility other
      than the requesting facility and check for this condition before any others.
      This allows the caller to distinquish this benign case from the other failure
      cases.
      
      Also, print an informational console message about which facility
      successfully registered as the pstore backend. Since there are various
      kernel parameters, config build options, and boot-time errors that can
      influence which facility registers with pstore, it's useful to have a
      positive indication.

      pstore: Avoid deadlock in panic and emergency-restart path · 9f244e9c
      Seiji Aguchi 提交于
      [Issue]
      
      When pstore is in panic and emergency-restart paths, it may be blocked
      in those paths because it simply takes spin_lock.
      
      This is an example scenario which pstore may hang up in a panic path:
      
       - cpuA grabs psinfo->buf_lock
       - cpuB panics and calls smp_send_stop
       - smp_send_stop sends IRQ to cpuA
       - after 1 second, cpuB gives up on cpuA and sends an NMI instead
       - cpuA is now in an NMI handler while still holding buf_lock
       - cpuB is deadlocked
      
      This case may happen if a firmware has a bug and
      cpuA is stuck talking with it more than one second.
      
      Also, this is a similar scenario in an emergency-restart path:
      
       - cpuA grabs psinfo->buf_lock and stucks in a firmware
       - cpuB kicks emergency-restart via either sysrq-b or hangcheck timer.
         And then, cpuB is deadlocked by taking psinfo->buf_lock again.
      
      [Solution]
      
      This patch avoids the deadlocking issues in both panic and emergency_restart
      paths by introducing a function, is_non_blocking_path(), to check if a cpu
      can be blocked in current path.
      
      With this patch, pstore is not blocked even if another cpu has
      taken a spin_lock, in those paths by changing from spin_lock_irqsave
      to spin_trylock_irqsave.
      
      In addition, according to a comment of emergency_restart() in kernel/sys.c,
      spin_lock shouldn't be taken in an emergency_restart path to avoid
      deadlock. This patch fits the comment below.

      efi_pstore: Add a sequence counter to a variable name · 755d4fe4
      Seiji Aguchi 提交于
      [Issue]
      
      Currently, a variable name, which identifies each entry, consists of type, id and ctime.
      But if multiple events happens in a short time, a second/third event may fail to log because
      efi_pstore can't distinguish each event with current variable name.
      
      [Solution]
      
      A reasonable way to identify all events precisely is introducing a sequence counter to
      the variable name.
      
      The sequence counter has already supported in a pstore layer with "oopscount".
      So, this patch adds it to a variable name.
      Also, it is passed to read/erase callbacks of platform drivers in accordance with
      the modification of the variable name.
      
        <before applying this patch>
       a variable name of first event: dump-type0-1-12345678
       a variable name of second event: dump-type0-1-12345678
      
        type:0
        id:1
        ctime:12345678
      
       If multiple events happen in a short time, efi_pstore can't distinguish them because
       variable names are same among them.
      
        <after applying this patch>
      
       it can be distinguishable by adding a sequence counter as follows.
      
       a variable name of first event: dump-type0-1-1-12345678
       a variable name of Second event: dump-type0-1-2-12345678
      
        type:0
        id:1
        sequence counter: 1(first event), 2(second event)
        ctime:12345678
      
      In case of a write callback executed in pstore_console_write(), "0" is added to
      an argument of the write callback because it just logs all kernel messages and
      doesn't need to care about multiple events.

      pstore/ftrace: Convert to its own enable/disable debugfs knob · 65f8c95e
      Anton Vorontsov 提交于
      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').

      pstore/platform: Disable automatic updates by default · 521f7288
      Anton Vorontsov 提交于
      Having automatic updates seems pointless for production system, and
      even dangerous and thus counter-productive:
      
      1. If we can mount pstore, or read files, we can as well read
         /proc/kmsg. So, there's little point in duplicating the
         functionality and present the same information but via another
         userland ABI;
      
      2. Expecting the kernel to behave sanely after oops/panic is naive.
         It might work, but you'd rather not try it. Screwed up kernel
         can do rather bad things, like recursive faults[1]; and pstore
         rather provoking bad things to happen. It uses:
      
         1. Timers (assumes sane interrupts state);
         2. Workqueues and mutexes (assumes scheduler in a sane state);
         3. kzalloc (a working slab allocator);
      
         That's too much for a dead kernel, so the debugging facility
         itself might just make debugging harder, which is not what
         we want.
      
      Maybe for non-oops message types it would make sense to re-enable
      automatic updates, but so far I don't see any use case for this.
      Even for tracing, it has its own run-time/normal ABI, so we're
      only interested in pstore upon next boot, to retrieve what has
      gone wrong with HW or SW.
      
      So, let's disable the updates by default.

      Pstore doesn't support logging kernel messages in run-time, it only

      weird device inserted -> driver tried to write a reserved bits ->
      SoC hanged. In that case we don't get any messages in the pstore.
