2023-07-17pstore: Replace crypto API compression with zlib_deflate library callsArd Biesheuvel
Pstore supports compression using a variety of algorithms exposed by the crypto API. This uses the deprecated comp (as opposed to scomp/acomp) API, and so we should stop using that, and either move to the new API, or switch to a different approach entirely. Given that we only compress ASCII text in pstore, and considering that this happens when the system is likely to be in an unstable state, the flexibility that the complex crypto API provides does not outweigh its impact on the risk that we might encounter additional problems when trying to commit the kernel log contents to the pstore backend. So let's switch [back] to the zlib deflate library API, and remove all the complexity that really has no place in a low-level diagnostic facility. Note that, while more modern compression algorithms have been added to the kernel in recent years, the code size of zlib deflate is substantially smaller than, e.g., zstd, while its performance in terms of compression ratio is comparable for ASCII text, and speed is deemed irrelevant in this context. Note that this means that compressed pstore records may no longer be accessible after a kernel upgrade, but this has never been part of the contract. (The choice of compression algorithm is not stored in the pstore records either) Tested-by: "Guilherme G.

2022-12-23pstore: Make sure CONFIG_PSTORE_PMSG selects CONFIG_RT_MUTEXESJohn Stultz
In commit 76d62f24db07 ("pstore: Switch pmsg_lock to an rt_mutex to avoid priority inversion") I changed a lock to an rt_mutex. However, its possible that CONFIG_RT_MUTEXES is not enabled, which then results in a build failure, as the 0day bot detected: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/202212211244.TwzWZD3H-lkp@intel.com/ Thus this patch changes CONFIG_PSTORE_PMSG to select CONFIG_RT_MUTEXES, which ensures the build will not fail.

2021-06-14mark pstore-blk as brokenChristoph Hellwig
pstore-blk just pokes directly into the pagecache for the block device without going through the file operations for that by faking up it's own file operations that do not match the block device ones. As this breaks the control of the block layer of it's page cache, and even now just works by accident only the best thing is to just disable this driver.

2020-12-01pstore: Move kmsg_bytes default into KconfigVasile-Laurentiu Stanimir
While kmsg_bytes can be set for pstore via mount, if a crash occurs before the mount only partial console log will be stored as kmsg_bytes defaults to a potentially different hardcoded value in the kernel (PSTORE_DEFAULT_KMSG_BYTES). This makes it impossible to analyze valuable post-mortem data especially on the embedded development or in the process of bringing up new boards.

2020-05-30pstore/blk: Introduce backend for block devicesWeiXiong Liao
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.

2018-03-09pstore: Use crypto compress APIGeliang Tang
In the pstore compression part, we use zlib/lzo/lz4/lz4hc/842 compression algorithm API to implement pstore compression backends. But there are many repeat codes in these implementations. This patch uses crypto compress API to simplify these codes. 1) rewrite allocate_buf_for_compression, free_buf_for_compression, pstore_compress, pstore_decompress functions using crypto compress API. 2) drop compress, decompress, allocate, free functions in pstore_zbackend, and add zbufsize function to get each different compress buffer size. 3) use late_initcall to call ramoops_init later, to make sure the crypto subsystem has already initialized. 4) use 'unsigned int' type instead of 'size_t' in pstore_compress, pstore_decompress functions' length arguments. 5) rename 'zlib' to 'deflate' to follow the crypto API's name convention.

2016-06-02pstore: add lzo/lz4 compression supportGeliang Tang
Like zlib compression in pstore, this patch added lzo and lz4 compression support so that users can have more options and better compression ratio. The original code treats the compressed data together with the uncompressed ECC correction notice by using zlib decompress. The ECC correction notice is missing in the decompression process. The treatment also makes lzo and lz4 not working. So I treat them separately by using pstore_decompress() to treat the compressed data, and memcpy() to treat the uncompressed ECC correction notice.

2012-09-06pstore/ftrace: Convert to its own enable/disable debugfs knobAnton Vorontsov
With this patch we no longer reuse function tracer infrastructure, now we register our own tracer back-end via a debugfs knob. It's a bit more code, but that is the only downside. On the bright side we have: - Ability to make persistent_ram module removable (when needed, we can move ftrace_ops struct into a module). Note that persistent_ram is still not removable for other reasons, but with this patch it's just one thing less to worry about; - Pstore part is more isolated from the generic function tracer. We tried it already by registering our own tracer in available_tracers, but that way we're loosing ability to see the traces while we record them to pstore. This solution is somewhere in the middle: we only register "internal ftracer" back-end, but not the "front-end"; - When there is only pstore tracing enabled, the kernel will only write to the pstore buffer, omitting function tracer buffer (which, of course, still can be enabled via 'echo function > current_tracer').

It can be used to determine what function was last called before a reset or panic. We store the log in a binary format and then decode it at read time. p.s. Mostly the code comes from trace_persistent.c driver found in the Android git tree, written by Colin Cross <ccross@android.com> (according to sign-off history).
