2018-03-07pstore/ram: Do not use stack VLA for parity workspaceKees Cook1-0/+1
Instead of using a stack VLA for the parity workspace, preallocate a memory region. The preallocation is done to keep from needing to perform allocations during crash dump writing, etc. This also fixes a missed release of librs on free. Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>
2016-11-15ramoops: Split ftrace buffer space into per-CPU zonesJoel Fernandes1-0/+3
If the RAMOOPS_FLAG_FTRACE_PER_CPU flag is passed to ramoops pdata, split the ftrace space into multiple zones depending on the number of CPUs. This speeds up the performance of function tracing by about 280% in my tests as we avoid the locking. The trade off being lesser space available per CPU. Let the ramoops user decide which option they want based on pdata flag.

2016-11-15pstore: Allow prz to control need for lockingJoel Fernandes1-1/+9
In preparation of not locking at all for certain buffers depending on if there's contention, make locking optional depending on the initialization of the prz.

2016-11-11pstore: Make spinlock per zone instead of globalJoel Fernandes1-0/+1
Currently pstore has a global spinlock for all zones. Since the zones are independent and modify different areas of memory, there's no need to have a global lock, so we should use a per-zone lock as introduced here. Also, when ramoops's ftrace use-case has a FTRACE_PER_CPU flag introduced later, which splits the ftrace memory area into a single zone per CPU, it will eliminate the need for locking. In preparation for this, make the locking optional. Signed-off-by: Joel Fernandes <joelaf@google.com> [kees: updated commit message] Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>
2016-09-08pstore/pmsg: drop bounce bufferMark Salyzyn1-2/+5
Removing a bounce buffer copy operation in the pmsg driver path is always better. We also gain in overall performance by not requesting a vmalloc on every write as this can cause precious RT tasks, such as user facing media operation, to stall while memory is being reclaimed. Added a write_buf_user to the pstore functions, a backup platform write_buf_user that uses the small buffer that is part of the instance, and implemented a ramoops write_buf_user that only supports PSTORE_TYPE_PMSG.

2015-01-16pstore: Add pmsg - user-space accessible pstore objectMark Salyzyn1-0/+1
A secured user-space accessible pstore object. Writes to /dev/pmsg0 are appended to the buffer, on reboot the persistent contents are available in /sys/fs/pstore/pmsg-ramoops-[ID]. One possible use is syslogd, or other daemon, can write messages, then on reboot provides a means to triage user-space activities leading up to a panic as a companion to the pstore dmesg or console logs.

2014-12-11pstore-ram: Allow optional mapping with pgprot_noncachedTony Lindgren1-1/+3
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.

2013-01-03pstore: remove __dev* attributes.Greg Kroah-Hartman1-3/+2
CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option. As a result, the __dev* markings need to be removed. This change removes the use of __devinit from the pstore filesystem. Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

2012-07-17pstore/ram: Make tracing log versionedAnton Vorontsov1-1/+1
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).

2012-07-17pstore: Headers should include all stuff they useAnton Vorontsov1-0/+1
Headers should really include all the needed prototypes, types, defines etc. to be self-contained. This is a long-standing issue, but apparently the new tracing code unearthed it (SMP=n is also a prerequisite): In file included from fs/pstore/internal.h:4:0, from fs/pstore/ftrace.c:21: include/linux/pstore.h:43:15: error: field ‘read_mutex’ has incomplete type While at it, I also added the following: linux/types.h -> size_t, phys_addr_t, uXX and friends linux/spinlock.h -> spinlock_t linux/errno.h -> Exxxx linux/time.h -> struct timespec (struct passed by value) struct module and rs_control forward declaration (passed via pointers).

2012-07-17pstore/ram: Make ECC size configurableAnton Vorontsov1-2/+2
This is now pretty straightforward: instead of using bool, just pass an integer. For backwards compatibility ramoops.ecc=1 means 16 bytes ECC (using 1 byte for ECC isn't much of use anyway).

2012-07-17pstore/ram_core: Get rid of prz->ecc_symsize and prz->ecc_polyAnton Vorontsov1-2/+0
The struct members were never used anywhere outside of persistent_ram_init_ecc(), so there's actually no need for them to be in the struct. If we ever want to make polynomial or symbol size configurable, it would make more sense to just pass initialized rs_decoder to the persistent_ram init functions.

2012-06-20pstore/ram: Probe as early as possibleAnton Vorontsov1-3/+3
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.

2012-06-13pstore/ram: Should update old dmesg buffer before readingAnton Vorontsov1-0/+1
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.

2012-05-17staging: android: persistent_ram: Move to fs/pstore/ram_core.cAnton Vorontsov1-0/+80
This is a first step for adding ECC support for pstore RAM backend: we will use the persistent_ram routines, kindly provided by Google. Basically, persistent_ram is a set of helper routines to deal with the [optionally] ECC-protected persistent ram regions. A bit of Makefile, Kconfig and header files adjustments were needed because of the move.

2012-05-16ramoops: Move to fs/pstore/ram.cAnton Vorontsov1-0/+17
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).
