    pstore: Add persistent function tracing · 060287b8
    Anton Vorontsov 提交于
    With this support kernel can save function call chain log into a
    persistent ram buffer that can be decoded and dumped after reboot
    through pstore filesystem. It can be used to determine what function
    was last called before a reset or panic.
    
    We store the log in a binary format and then decode it at read time.
    
    p.s.
    Mostly the code comes from trace_persistent.c driver found in the
    Android git tree, written by Colin Cross <ccross@android.com>
    (according to sign-off history). I reworked the driver a little bit,
    and ported it to pstore.
