This option enables generic access to platform level
|
|
|
|
|
persistent storage via "pstore" filesystem that can
|
|
|
|
|
be mounted as /dev/pstore. Only useful if you have
|
|
|
|
|
a platform level driver that registers with pstore to
|
|
|
|
|
provide the data, so you probably should just go say "Y"
|
|
|
|
|
(or "M") to a platform specific persistent store driver
|
|
|
|
|
(e.g. ACPI_APEI on X86) which will select this for you.
|
|
|
|
|
If you don't have a platform persistent store driver,
|
|
|
|
|
say N.

pstore/ftrace: Convert to its own enable/disable debugfs knob
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').

This enables panic and oops messages to be logged to a circular

buffer in RAM where it can be read back at some later point.
