2016-09-08pstore/pmsg: drop bounce bufferMark Salyzyn1-29/+6
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.

2015-10-22pstore: add pstore unregisterGeliang Tang1-0/+7
pstore doesn't support unregistering yet. It was marked as TODO. This patch adds some code to fix it: 1) Add functions to unregister kmsg/console/ftrace/pmsg. 2) Add a function to free compression buffer. 3) Unmap the memory and free it. 4) Add a function to unregister pstore filesystem.

2015-01-16pstore: Add pmsg - user-space accessible pstore objectMark Salyzyn1-0/+114
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.
