Lockdep complains about a possible deadlock between mount and unlink
(which is technically impossible), but fixing this improves possible
future multiple-backend support, and keeps locking in the right order.
The lockdep warning could be triggered by unlinking a file in the

Nothing actually uses write_user_compat() currently, but there is no
reason to reuse the dmesg buffer. Instead, just allocate a new record
buffer, copy in from userspace, and pass it to write() as normal.

Now that write() and write_buf() are functionally identical, this removes
write_buf(), and renames write_buf_user() to write_user(). Additionally

pstore_mkfile() shouldn't have to memcpy the record contents. It can use
the existing copy instead. This adjusts the allocation lifetime management
and renames the contents variable from "data" to "buf" to assist moving to
struct pstore_record in the future.

Currently, pstore_mkfile() performs a memcpy() of the record contents,

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't know why it needs to copy the
input buffer to psinfo->buf and then write. Instead we can write the
input buffer directly. The only implementation that supports console
message (i.e. ramoops) already does it for ftrace messages.
For the upcoming virtio backend driver, it needs to protect psinfo->buf
overwritten from console messages. If it could use ->write_buf method
instead of ->write, the problem will be solved easily.

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.

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.

without lock") added a check to 'is_locked' to avoid breakage in
concurrent accesses. But it has a side-effect of disabling compression
on normal path since 'is_locked' variable is not set. As normal path
always takes the lock, it should be initialized to 1.

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.

Add compression support to pstore which will help in capturing more data.
Initially, pstore will make a call to kmsg_dump with a bigger buffer
and will pass the size of bigger buffer to kmsg_dump and then compress
the data to registered buffer of registered size.
In case compression fails, pstore will capture the uncompressed
data by making a call again to kmsg_dump with registered_buffer
of registered size.
Pstore will indicate the data is compressed or not with a flag

- Base VFIO support for KVM on power by Alexey Kardashevskiy

putting compressed oopses in there by Aruna Balakrishnaiah
- Move, rework and improve our "EEH" (basically PCI error handling
and recovery) infrastructure. It is no longer specific to pseries
but is now usable by the new "powernv" platform as well (no
hypervisor) by Gavin Shan.
- I fixed some bugs in our math-emu instruction decoding and made it
usable to emulate some optional FP instructions on processors with
hard FP that lack them (such as fsqrt on Freescale embedded
processors).
- Support for Power8 "Event Based Branch" facility by Michael
Ellerman. This facility allows what is basically "userspace
interrupts" for performance monitor events.
- A bunch of Transactional Memory vs. Signals bug fixes and HW

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.

[Issue]
When pstore is in panic and emergency-restart paths, it may be blocked
in those paths because it simply takes spin_lock.
This is an example scenario which pstore may hang up in a panic path:
- cpuA grabs psinfo->buf_lock
- cpuB panics and calls smp_send_stop
- smp_send_stop sends IRQ to cpuA
- after 1 second, cpuB gives up on cpuA and sends an NMI instead
- cpuA is now in an NMI handler while still holding buf_lock
- cpuB is deadlocked
This case may happen if a firmware has a bug and
cpuA is stuck talking with it more than one second.
Also, this is a similar scenario in an emergency-restart path:
- cpuA grabs psinfo->buf_lock and stucks in a firmware
- cpuB kicks emergency-restart via either sysrq-b or hangcheck timer.
And then, cpuB is deadlocked by taking psinfo->buf_lock again.
[Solution]
This patch avoids the deadlocking issues in both panic and emergency_restart
paths by introducing a function, is_non_blocking_path(), to check if a cpu
can be blocked in current path.
With this patch, pstore is not blocked even if another cpu has
taken a spin_lock, in those paths by changing from spin_lock_irqsave
to spin_trylock_irqsave.
In addition, according to a comment of emergency_restart() in kernel/sys.c,
spin_lock shouldn't be taken in an emergency_restart path to avoid
deadlock. This patch fits the comment below.
<snip>
/**
* emergency_restart - reboot the system
*
* Without shutting down any hardware or taking any locks
* reboot the system. This is called when we know we are in
* trouble so this is our best effort to reboot. This is
* safe to call in interrupt context.

[Issue]
Currently, a variable name, which identifies each entry, consists of type, id and ctime.
But if multiple events happens in a short time, a second/third event may fail to log because
efi_pstore can't distinguish each event with current variable name.
[Solution]
A reasonable way to identify all events precisely is introducing a sequence counter to
the variable name.
The sequence counter has already supported in a pstore layer with "oopscount".
So, this patch adds it to a variable name.
Also, it is passed to read/erase callbacks of platform drivers in accordance with
the modification of the variable name.
<before applying this patch>
a variable name of first event: dump-type0-1-12345678
a variable name of second event: dump-type0-1-12345678
type:0
id:1
ctime:12345678
If multiple events happen in a short time, efi_pstore can't distinguish them because
variable names are same among them.
<after applying this patch>
it can be distinguishable by adding a sequence counter as follows.
a variable name of first event: dump-type0-1-1-12345678
a variable name of Second event: dump-type0-1-2-12345678
type:0
id:1
sequence counter: 1(first event), 2(second event)
ctime:12345678
In case of a write callback executed in pstore_console_write(), "0" is added to
an argument of the write callback because it just logs all kernel messages and
doesn't need to care about multiple events.
