2008-02-07[MTD] Fix mtdoops.c compilationDavid Woodhouse1-0/+1
drivers/mtd/mtdoops.c: In function ‘mtdoops_console_sync’: drivers/mtd/mtdoops.c:329: error: implicit declaration of function ‘in_interrupt’ Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
2008-02-07[MTD] mtdoops: Use the panic_write function when presentRichard Purdie1-5/+21
When the MTD provides a panic_write function, use it. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
2008-02-03[MTD] mtdoops: Various minor cleanupsRichard Purdie1-7/+9
Various minor cleaups to mtdoops: * Don't support the mtd->erasesize < OOPS_PAGE_SIZE case * Tweak printks and make the device mtdoops connects to more visible * CON_PRINTBUFFER flag is uneeded Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
2008-02-03[MTD] mtdoops: Ensure sequential write to the bufferRichard Purdie1-0/+28
Add a spinlock to ensure writes to the mtdoops buffer memory are sequential and don't race. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
2008-02-03[MTD] mtdoops: Perform write operations in a workqueueRichard Purdie1-40/+42
Writing to the flash needs to be done in a workqueue. The console write functions may be called in any context which can lead to lockups otherwise. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
2008-02-03[MTD] mtdoops: Add further error return code checkingRichard Purdie1-12/+29
Add further error return code checks to the mtdoops driver. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
2007-12-03[MTD] mtdoops cleanupPeter Korsgaard1-5/+2
Use memcpy instead of open coding a copy loop. Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard <jacmet@sunsite.dk> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>

2007-07-11[MTD] Add sync/unblank function to mtdoopsRichard Purdie1-23/+34
mtdoops wasn't ensuring data was flushed to flash in crash situations after recent changes in mainline kernels as tracking the oops_in_progress variable was no longer enough. We can use the "unblank" console call as a sync call to tell us to write out the buffer though. Therefore add a sync function to mtdoops and call this when console unblank events occur.

2007-06-28[MTD] oops and panic message logging to MTD deviceRichard Purdie1-0/+365
Kernel oops and panic messages are invaluable when debugging crashes. These messages often don't make it to flash based logging methods (say a syslog on jffs2) due to the overheads involved in writing to flash. This patch allows you to turn an MTD partition into a circular log buffer where kernel oops and panic messages are written to. The messages are obtained by registering a console driver and checking oops_in_progress. Erases are performed in advance to maximise the chances of a saving messages. To activate it, add console=ttyMTDx to the kernel commandline (where x is the mtd device number to use).
