Provide an iterator to receive the log buffer content, and convert all kmsg_dump() users to it. The structured data in the kmsg buffer now contains binary data, which should no longer be copied verbatim to the kmsg_dump() users. The iterator should provide reliable access to the buffer data, and also supports proper log line-aware chunking of data while iterating.

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 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.

This allows a backend to filter on the dmesg reason as well as the pstore reason. When ramoops is switched to pstore, this is needed since it has no interest in storing non-crash dmesg details. Drop pstore_write() as it has no users, and handling the "reason" here has no obviously correct value.

The buf_lock cannot be held while populating the inodes, so make the backend pass forward an allocated and filled buffer instead. This solves the following backtrace. The effect is that "buf" is only ever used to notify the backends that something was written to it, and shouldn't be used in the read path. To replace the buf_lock during the read path, isolate the open/read/close loop with a separate mutex to maintain serialized access to the backend. Note that is is up to the pstore backend to cope if the (*write)() path is called in the middle of the read path.

pstore was using mutex locking to protect read/write access to the backend plug-ins. This causes problems when pstore is executed in an NMI context through panic() -> kmsg_dump(). This patch changes the mutex to a spin_lock_irqsave then also checks to see if we are in an NMI context. If we are in an NMI and can't get the lock, just print a message stating that and blow by the locking. All this is probably a hack around the bigger locking problem but it solves my current situation of trying to sleep in an NMI context. Tested by loading the lkdtm module and executing a HARDLOCKUP which will cause the machine to panic inside the nmi handler.

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.
