pstore_erase is used to erase the record from the persistent store.
So if a driver has not defined pstore_erase callback return
-EPERM instead of unlinking a file as deleting the file without
erasing its record in persistent store will give a wrong impression
to customers.

Using /dev/pstore as a mount point for the pstore filesystem is slightly
awkward.  We don't normally mount filesystems in /dev/ and the /dev/pstore
file isn't created automatically by anything.  While this method will
still work, we can create a persistent mount point in sysfs.  This will
put pstore on par with things like cgroups and efivarfs.

[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.

[Issue]

Currently, a variable name, which is used to identify each log entry, consists of type,
id and ctime. But an erase callback does not use ctime.

If efi_pstore supported just one log, type and id were enough.
However, in case of supporting multiple logs, it doesn't work because
it can't distinguish each entry without ctime at erasing time.

 <Example>

 As you can see below, efi_pstore can't differentiate first event from second one without ctime.

 a variable name of first event: dump-type0-1-12345678
 a variable name of second event: dump-type0-1-23456789

  type:0
  id:1
  ctime:12345678, 23456789

[Solution]

This patch adds ctime to an argument of an erase callback.

It works across reboots because ctime of pstore means the date that the record was originally stored.
To do this, efi_pstore saves the ctime to variable name at writing time and passes it to pstore
at reading time.

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.

Pstore doesn't support logging kernel messages in run-time, it only
dumps dmesg when kernel oopses/panics. This makes pstore useless for
debugging hangs caused by HW issues or improper use of HW (e.g.
weird device inserted -> driver tried to write a reserved bits ->
SoC hanged. In that case we don't get any messages in the pstore.

Therefore, let's add a runtime logging support: PSTORE_TYPE_CONSOLE.

Many users of debugfs copy the implementation of default_open() when
they want to support a custom read/write function op.  This leads to a
proliferation of the default_open() implementation across the entire
tree.

Now that the common implementation has been consolidated into libfs we
can replace all the users of this function with simple_open().

This replacement was done with the following semantic patch:

<smpl>
@ open @
identifier open_f != simple_open;
identifier i, f;
@@
-int open_f(struct inode *i, struct file *f)
-{
(
-if (i->i_private)

-return 0;
-}

struct file_operations fops = {
...
-.open = open_f,
+.open = simple_open,

Life is simple for all the kernel terminating types of kmsg_dump
call backs - pstore just saves the tail end of the console log. But
for "oops" the situation is more complex - the kernel may carry on
running (possibly for ever).  So we'd like to make the logged copy
of the oops appear in the pstore filesystem - so that the user has
a handle to clear the entry from the persistent backing store (if
we don't, the store may fill with "oops" entries (that are also
safely stashed in /var/log/messages) leaving no space for real
errors.

Current code calls pstore_mkfile() immediately. But this may
not be safe. The oops could have happened with arbitrary locks
held, or in interrupt or NMI context. So allocating memory and
calling into generic filesystem code seems unwise.

This patch defers making the entry appear. At the time
of the oops, we merely set a flag "pstore_new_entry" noting that
a new entry has been added. A periodic timer checks once a minute
to see if the flag is set - if so, it schedules a work queue to
rescan the backing store and make all new entries appear in the
pstore filesystem.

EFI only provides small amounts of individual storage, and conventionally
puts metadata in the storage variable name. Rather than add a metadata
header to the (already limited) variable storage, it's easier for us to

Some platforms have a small amount of non-volatile storage that
can be used to store information useful to diagnose the cause of
a system crash.  This is the generic part of a file system interface
that presents information from the crash as a series of files in

storage is freed by deleting the files.
