pstore/blk is similar to pstore/ram, but uses a block device as the storage rather than persistent ram. The pstore/blk backend solves two common use-cases that used to preclude using pstore/ram: - not all devices have a battery that could be used to persist regular RAM across power failures. - most embedded intelligent equipment have no persistent ram, which increases costs, instead preferring cheaper solutions, like block devices. pstore/blk provides separate configurations for the end user and for the block drivers. User configuration determines how pstore/blk operates, such as record sizes, max kmsg dump reasons, etc. These can be set by Kconfig and/or module parameters, but module parameter have priority over Kconfig. Driver configuration covers all the details about the target block device, such as total size of the device and how to perform read/write operations. These are provided by block drivers, calling pstore_register_blkdev(), including an optional panic_write callback used to bypass regular IO APIs in an effort to avoid potentially destabilized kernel code during a panic.

Implement a common set of APIs needed to support pstore storage zones, based on how ramoops is designed. This will be used by pstore/blk with the intention of migrating pstore/ram in the future.

Currently, it is only possible to get kmsg dumps for panic and oops, or just panic, via "no-dump-oops". With "max-reason" it is possible to dump messages for other kmsg_dump events, for example emerg and shutdown.

Kees Cook authored
Now that pstore_register() can correctly pass max_reason to the kmesg dump facility, introduce a new "max_reason" module parameter and "max-reason" Device Tree field. The "dump_oops" module parameter and "dump-oops" Device Tree field are now considered deprecated, but are now automatically converted to their corresponding max_reason values when present, though the new max_reason setting has precedence. For struct ramoops_platform_data, the "dump_oops" member is entirely replaced by a new "max_reason" member, with the only existing user updated in place. Additionally remove the "reason" filter logic from ramoops_pstore_write(), as that is not specifically needed anymore, though technically this is a change in behavior for any ramoops users also setting the printk.always_kmsg_dump boot param, which will cause ramoops to behave as if max_reason was set to KMSG_DUMP_MAX.

Add a new member to struct pstore_info for passing information about kmesg dump maximum reason. This allows a finer control of what kmesg dumps are sent to pstore storage backends. Those backends that do not explicitly set this field (keeping it equal to 0), get the default behavior: store only Oopses and Panics, or everything if the printk.always_kmsg_dump boot param is set.

The pstore subsystem already had a private version of this function. With the coming addition of the pstore/zone driver, this needs to be shared. As it really should live with printk, move it there instead.

kmsg_dump() allows to dump kmesg buffer for various system events: oops, panic, reboot, etc. It provides an interface to register a callback call for clients, and in that callback interface there is a field "max_reason", but it was getting ignored when set to any "reason" higher than KMSG_DUMP_OOPS unless "always_kmsg_dump" was passed as kernel parameter. Allow clients to actually control their "max_reason", and keep the current behavior when "max_reason" is not set.

To turn the KMSG_DUMP_* reasons into a more ordered list, collapse the redundant KMSG_DUMP_(RESTART|HALT|POWEROFF) reasons into KMSG_DUMP_SHUTDOWN.

Refactor device tree size parsing routines to be able to pass a non-zero default value for providing a configurable default for the coming "max_reason" field.

In order to more cleanly pass around backend names, make the "name" member const. This means the module param needs to be dynamic (technically, it was before, so this actually cleans up a minor memory leak if a backend was specified and then gets unloaded.)

If a backend was unloaded without having first removed all its associated records in pstorefs, subsequent removals would crash while attempting to call into the now missing backend.

The pstore.update_ms value was being disabled during pstore_unregister(), which would cause any prior value to go unnoticed on the next pstore_register(). Instead, just let del_timer() stop the timer, which was always sufficient. This additionally refactors the timer reset code and allows the timer to be enabled if the module parameter is changed away from the default.

Currently pstore can only have a single backend attached at a time, and it tracks the active backend via "psinfo", under a lock. The locking for this does not need to be a spinlock, and in order to avoid may_sleep() issues during future changes to pstore_unregister(), switch to a mutex instead.

This sorts the actual field names too, potentially causing even more chaos and confusion at merge time if you have edited the MAINTAINERS file. But the end result is a more consistent layout, and hopefully it's a one-time pain minimized by doing this just before the -rc1 release.

They are all supposed to be sorted, but people who add new entries don't always know the alphabet. Plus sometimes the entry names get edited, and people don't then re-order the entry. Let's see how painful this will be for merging purposes (the MAINTAINERS file is often edited in various different trees), but Joe claims there's relatively few patches in -next that touch this, and doing it just before -rc1 is likely the best time. Fingers crossed. This was scripted with /scripts/parse-maintainers.pl --input=MAINTAINERS --output=MAINTAINERS but then I also ended up manually upper-casing a few entry names that stood out when looking at the end result.
