* pstore/ram: Clarify resource reservation labelsKees Cook2019-03-181-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When ramoops reserved a memory region in the kernel, it had an unhelpful label of "persistent ram". When reading iomem, it would be repeated many times, did not hint that it was ramoops in particular, and didn't clarify very much about what each was used for: 0x4fdd4000 - 0x4fdf3fff (size 0x00020000) persistent ram 0x4fdf4000 - 0x4fe13fff (size 0x00020000) persistent ram ... 0x4ff74000 - 0x4ff93fff (size 0x00020000) persistent ram 0x4ff94000 - 0x4ffb3fff (size 0x00020000) persistent ram 0x4ffb4000 - 0x4ffd3fff (size 0x00020000) persistent ram Instead, this adds meaningful labels for how the various regions are being used: 0x4fdd4000 - 0x4fdf3fff (size 0x00020000) ramoops:dump(0/12) 0x4fdf4000 - 0x4fe13fff (size 0x00020000) ramoops:dump(1/12) ... 0x4ff74000 - 0x4ff93fff (size 0x00020000) ramoops:console 0x4ff94000 - 0x4ffb3fff (size 0x00020000) ramoops:ftrace 0x4ffb4000 - 0x4ffd3fff (size 0x00020000) ramoops:pmsg Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Joel Fernandes (Google) <joel@joelfernandes.org> [p.zabel@pengutronix.de: ported to Barebox from Linux commit 1227daa43bce] Signed-off-by: Philipp Zabel <p.zabel@pengutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@pengutronix.de>
* pstore/ram: Do not use stack VLA for parity workspaceKees Cook2019-03-181-0/+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.

* fs: Add pstore filesystemMarkus Pargmann2015-12-101-0/+87
pstore is a persistent storage filesystem used for RAMOOPS. It is used to store console logs, panics, ftrace and other information in case of a crash/panic/oops/reboot. pstore is implemented for barebox as a read-only filesystem at the moment. It may be extended later on. The idea is to provide a way to extract essential data from the last running kernel. Most of the code is copied from the kernel. However this is only a lightweight implementation without real write support yet. Signed-off-by: Markus Pargmann <mpa@pengutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@pengutronix.de>
