2013-12-20pstore: Don't allow high traffic options on fragile devicesLuck, Tony
Some pstore backing devices use on board flash as persistent storage. These have limited numbers of write cycles so it is a poor idea to use them from high frequency operations. Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2013-09-16pstore: Use zlib_inflateInit2 instead of zlib_inflateInitAruna Balakrishnaiah

2013-09-16pstore: Adjust buffer size for compression for smaller registered buffersAruna Balakrishnaiah
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.

Add compression support to pstore which will help in capturing more data.

2013-06-28pstore: Return unique error if backend registration excluded by kernel paramLenny Szubowicz
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.

2013-01-11pstore: Avoid deadlock in panic and emergency-restart pathSeiji Aguchi
[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. <snip> /** * emergency_restart - reboot the system * * Without shutting down any hardware or taking any locks * reboot the system.

2012-11-26efi_pstore: Add a sequence counter to a variable nameSeiji Aguchi
[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.

2012-11-26efi_pstore: Add ctime to argument of erase callbackSeiji Aguchi
[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.

2012-11-14pstore: Fix NULL pointer dereference in console writesColin Ian King
Passing a NULL id causes a NULL pointer deference in writers such as erst_writer and efi_pstore_write because they expect to update this id. Pass a dummy id instead. This avoids a cascade of oopses caused when the initial pstore_console_write passes a null which in turn causes writes to the console causing further oopses in subsequent pstore_console_write calls.

2012-09-20pstore: Avoid recursive spinlocks in the oops_in_progress caseChuansheng Liu
Like 8250 driver, when pstore is registered as a console, to avoid recursive spinlocks when panic happening, change the spin_lock_irqsave to spin_trylock_irqsave when oops_in_progress is true.

2012-09-06pstore/ftrace: Convert to its own enable/disable debugfs knobAnton Vorontsov
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').

2012-08-04pstore/ram: Mark ramoops_pstore_write_buf() as notraceAnton Vorontsov
write_buf() should be marked as notrace, otherwise it is prone to recursion. Though, yet the issue is never triggered in real life, because we run inside the function tracer, where ftrace does its own recurse protection. But it's still no good, plus soon we might switch to our own tracer ops, and then the issue will be fatal. So, let's fix it. Signed-off-by: Anton Vorontsov <anton.vorontsov@linaro.org>
