* | efi_pstore: Add a sequence counter to a variable nameSeiji Aguchi2012-11-261-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [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.

* | efi_pstore: Add ctime to argument of erase callbackSeiji Aguchi2012-11-261-1/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [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.

* pstore/ram: Fix possible NULL dereferenceAnton Vorontsov2012-08-041-6/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We can dereference 'cxt->cprz' if console and dump logging are disabled (which is unlikely, but still possible to do). This patch fixes the issue by changing the code so that we don't dereference przs at all, we can just calculate bufsize from console_size and record_size values. Plus, while at it, the patch improves the buffer size calculation. After Kay's printk rework, we know the optimal buffer size for console logging -- it is LOG_LINE_MAX (defined privately in printk.c). Previously, if only console logging was enabled, we would allocate unnecessary large buffer in pstore, while we only need LOG_LINE_MAX. (Pstore console logging is still capable of handling buffers > LOG_LINE_MAX, it will just do multiple calls to psinfo->write). Note that I don't export the constant, since we will do even a better thing soon: we will switch console logging to a new write_buf API, which will eliminate the need for the additional buffer; and so we won't need the constant.

* pstore/ram: Make tracing log versionedAnton Vorontsov2012-07-171-5/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Decoding the binary trace w/ a different kernel might be troublesome since we convert addresses to symbols. For kernels with minimal changes, the mappings would probably match, but it's not guaranteed at all. (But still we could convert the addresses by hand, since we do print raw addresses.) If we use modules, the symbols could be loaded at different addresses from the previously booted kernel, and so this would also fail, but there's nothing we can do about it. Also, the binary data format that pstore/ram is using in its ringbuffer may change between the kernels, so here we too must ensure that we're running the same kernel. So, there are two questions really: 1. How to compute the unique kernel tag; 2. Where to store it. In this patch we're using LINUX_VERSION_CODE, just as hibernation (suspend-to-disk) does. This way we are protecting from the kernel version mismatch, making sure that we're running the same kernel version and patch level. We could use CRC of a symbol table (as suggested by Tony Luck), but for now let's not be that strict. And as for storing, we are using a small trick here. Instead of allocating a dedicated buffer for the tag (i.e. another prz), or hacking ram_core routines to "reserve" some control data in the buffer, we are just encoding the tag into the buffer signature (and XOR'ing it with the actual signature value, so that buffers not needing a tag can just pass zero, which will result into the plain old PRZ signature).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Registering the platform driver before module_init allows us to log oopses that happen during device probing. This requires changing module_init to postcore_initcall, and switching from platform_driver_probe to platform_driver_register because the platform device is not registered when the platform driver is registered; and because we use driver_register, now can't use create_bundle() (since it will try to register the same driver once again), so we have to switch to platform_device_register_data(). Also, some __init -> __devinit changes were needed. Overall, the registration logic is now much clearer, since we have only one driver registration point, and just an optional dummy device, which is created from the module parameters.

* pstore/ram: Should update old dmesg buffer before readingAnton Vorontsov2012-06-131-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Without the update, we'll only see the new dmesg buffer after the reboot, but previously we could see it right away. Making an oops visible in pstore filesystem before reboot is a somewhat dubious feature, but removing it wasn't an intentional change, so let's restore it. For this we have to make persistent_ram_save_old() safe for calling multiple times, and also extern it.

* pstore/ram: Add ECC supportAnton Vorontsov2012-05-171-3/+12
| | | | | | | | | | This is now straightforward: just introduce a module parameter and pass the needed value to persistent_ram_new().

| | | | | | | | | The patch switches pstore RAM backend to use persistent_ram routines, one step closer to the ECC support.

* ramoops: Move to fs/pstore/ram.cAnton Vorontsov2012-05-161-0/+362
Since ramoops was converted to pstore, it has nothing to do with character devices nowadays. Instead, today it is just a RAM backend for pstore. The patch just moves things around. There are a few changes were needed because of the move: 1. Kconfig and Makefiles fixups, of course. 2. In pstore/ram.c we have to play a bit with MODULE_PARAM_PREFIX, this is needed to keep user experience the same as with ramoops driver (i.e. so that ramoops.foo kernel command line arguments would still work).
