From 9d5438f462abd6398cdb7b3211bdcec271873a3b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Salyzyn Date: Fri, 16 Jan 2015 16:01:10 -0800 Subject: pstore: Add pmsg - user-space accessible pstore object 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.
