2014-12-11pstore-ram: Allow optional mapping with pgprot_noncachedTony Lindgren2-11/+33
On some ARMs the memory can be mapped pgprot_noncached() and still be working for atomic operations. As pointed out by Colin Cross <ccross@android.com>, in some cases you do want to use pgprot_noncached() if the SoC supports it to see a debug printk just before a write hanging the system. On ARMs, the atomic operations on strongly ordered memory are implementation defined. So let's provide an optional kernel parameter for configuring pgprot_noncached(), and use pgprot_writecombine() by default.

2014-12-11pstore-ram: Fix hangs by using write-combine mappingsRob Herring1-2/+2
Currently trying to use pstore on at least ARMs can hang as we're mapping the peristent RAM with pgprot_noncached(). On ARMs, pgprot_noncached() will actually make the memory strongly ordered, and as the atomic operations pstore uses are implementation defined for strongly ordered memory, they may not work. So basically atomic operations have undefined behavior on ARM for device or strongly ordered memory types. Let's fix the issue by using write-combine variants for mappings. This corresponds to normal, non-cacheable memory on ARM. For many other architectures, this change does not change the mapping type as by default we have: #define pgprot_writecombine pgprot_noncached The reason why pgprot_noncached() was originaly used for pstore is because Colin Cross <ccross@android.com> had observed lost debug prints right before a device hanging write operation on some systems. For the platforms supporting pgprot_noncached(), we can add a an optional configuration option to support that. But let's get pstore working first before adding new features.

2014-11-05pstore/ram: Strip ramoops header for correct decompressionBen Zhang1-7/+15
pstore compression/decompression was added during 3.12. The ramoops driver prepends a "====timestamp.timestamp-C|D\n" header to the compressed record before handing it over to pstore driver which doesn't know about the header. In pstore_decompress(), the pstore driver reads the first "==" as a zlib header, so the decompression always fails. For example, this causes the driver to write /dev/pstore/dmesg-ramoops-0.enc.z instead of /dev/pstore/dmesg-ramoops-0. This patch makes the ramoops driver remove the header before pstore decompression.

2014-03-13fs: push sync_filesystem() down to the file system's remount_fs()Theodore Ts'o1-0/+1
Previously, the no-op "mount -o mount /dev/xxx" operation when the file system is already mounted read-write causes an implied, unconditional syncfs(). This seems pretty stupid, and it's certainly documented or guaraunteed to do this, nor is it particularly useful, except in the case where the file system was mounted rw and is getting remounted read-only. However, it's possible that there might be some file systems that are actually depending on this behavior. In most file systems, it's probably fine to only call sync_filesystem() when transitioning from read-write to read-only, and there are some file systems where this is not needed at all (for example, for a pseudo-filesystem or something like romfs).

2013-09-16pstore: Adjust buffer size for compression for smaller registered buffersAruna Balakrishnaiah1-1/+22
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.

2013-06-28pstore: Return unique error if backend registration excluded by kernel paramLenny Szubowicz1-5/+6
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.

2013-06-25pstore: Fail to unlink if a driver has not defined pstore_eraseAruna Balakrishnaiah1-0/+2
pstore_erase is used to erase the record from the persistent store. So if a driver has not defined pstore_erase callback return -EPERM instead of unlinking a file as deleting the file without erasing its record in persistent store will give a wrong impression to customers.

2013-06-14pstore/ram: avoid atomic accesses for ioremapped regionsRob Herring1-2/+52
For persistent RAM outside of main memory, the memory may have limitations on supported accesses. For internal RAM on highbank platform exclusive accesses are not supported and will hang the system. So atomic_cmpxchg cannot be used. This commit uses spinlock protection for buffer size and start updates on ioremapped regions instead.

Pull trivial pstore update from Tony Luck: "Couple of pstore cleanups" It turns out that the kmemdup() conversion ends up being undone by the fact that the memory block also needed the ecc information (see commit bd08ec33b5c2: "pstore/ram: Restore ecc information block"), so all that remains after merging is the error return code change. * tag 'please-pull-pstore' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/aegl/linux: pstore/ram: fix error return code in ramoops_probe() fs: pstore: Replaced calls to kmalloc and memcpy with kmemdup
