When backends (ex: efivars) have smaller registered buffers, the
big_oops_buf is too big for them as number of repeated occurences
in the text captured will be less. What happens is that pstore takes
too big a bite from the dmesg log and then finds it cannot compress it
enough to meet the backend block size. Patch takes care of adjusting
the buffer size based on the registered buffer size. cmpr values have
been arrived after doing experiments with plain text for buffers of
size 1k - 4k (Smaller the buffer size repeated occurence will be less)
and with sample crash log for buffers ranging from 4k - 10k.

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.

[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.

[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.

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').

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.

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.

Currently pstore write interface employs record id as return
value, but it is not enough because it can't tell caller if
the write operation is successful. Pass the record id back via
an argument pointer and return zero for success, non-zero for
failure.

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.

pstore only allows one backend to be registered at present, but the
system may provide several. Add a parameter to allow the user to choose
which backend will be used rather than just relying on load order.

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
modify pstore to pass all the information we need to construct a unique
variable name to the appropriate functions.

Some pstore implementations may not have a static context, so extend the
API to pass the pstore_info struct to all calls and allow for a context
pointer.

Currently after mount/remount operation on pstore filesystem,
the content on pstore will be lost. It is because current ERST
implementation doesn't support multi-user usage, which moves
internal pointer to the end after accessing it. Adding
multi-user support for pstore usage.

the return type of function _read_ in pstore is size_t,
but in the callback function of _read_, the logic doesn't
consider it too much, which means if negative value (assuming
error here) is returned, it will be converted to positive because
of type casting. ssize_t is enough for this function.
