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').

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. Signed-off-by: NAnton Vorontsov <anton.vorontsov@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: NGreg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
