fc2d557c74 kmsg_dump: constrain mtdoops and ramoops to perform their actions only for KMSG_DUMP_PANIC
This series aims to develop logging facility for enterprise use.

It is important to save kernel messages reliably on enterprise system
because they are helpful for diagnosing system.

This series add kmsg_dump() to the paths loosing kernel messages.  The use
case is the following.

[Use case of reboot/poweroff/halt/emergency_restart]

 My company has often experienced the followings in our support service.
 - Customer's system suddenly reboots.
 - Customers ask us to investigate the reason of the reboot.

We recognize the fact itself because boot messages remain in
/var/log/messages.  However, we can't investigate the reason why the
system rebooted, because the last messages don't remain.  And off course
we can't explain the reason.

We can solve above problem with this patch as follows.

 Case1: reboot with command
   - We can see "Restarting system with command:" or ""Restarting system.".

 Case2: halt with command
   - We can see "System halted.".

 Case3: poweroff with command
   - We can see " Power down.".

 Case4: emergency_restart with sysrq.
   - We can see "Sysrq:" outputted in __handle_sysrq().

 Case5: emergency_restart with softdog.
   - We can see "Initiating system reboot" in watchdog_fire().

So, we can distinguish the reason of reboot, poweroff, halt and emergency_restart.

If customer executed reboot command, you may think the customer should
know the fact.  However, they often claim they don't execute the command
when they rebooted system by mistake.

No message remains on the current Linux kernel, so we can't show the proof
to the customer.  This patch improves this situation.

This patch:

Alters mtdoops and ramoops to perform their actions only for
KMSG_DUMP_PANIC, KMSG_DUMP_OOPS and KMSG_DUMP_KEXEC because they would
like to log crashes only.

0f4bd46ec2 kmsg_dump: Dump on crash_kexec as well
crash_kexec gets called before kmsg_dump(KMSG_DUMP_OOPS) if
panic_on_oops is set, so the kernel log buffer is not stored
for this case.

This patch adds a KMSG_DUMP_KEXEC dump type which gets called
when crash_kexec() is invoked. To avoid getting double dumps,
the old KMSG_DUMP_PANIC is moved below crash_kexec(). The
mtdoops driver is modified to handle KMSG_DUMP_KEXEC in the
same way as a panic.

2e386e4bac mtd: mtdoops: refactor as a kmsg_dumper
The last messages which happens before a crash might contain interesting
information about the crash. This patch reworks mtdoops using the
kmsg_dumper support instead of a console, which simplifies the code and
also includes the messages before the oops started.

On oops callbacks, the MTD device write is scheduled in a work queue (to
be able to use the regular mtd->write call), while panics call
mtd->panic_write directly. Thus, if panic_on_oops is set, the oops will
be written out during the panic.

A parameter to specify which mtd device to use (number or name), as well
as a flag, writable at runtime, to toggle wheter to dump oopses or only
panics (since oopses can often be handled by regular syslog).

The patch was massaged and amended by Artem.

1114e3d00f mtd: mtdoops: limit the maximum mtd partition size
Make the maximum mtdoops partition size to be 8MiB. Indeed, it does
not make sense to use anything larger than that anyway. This limit
makes it possible to catch stupid mistakes where the user gives e.g.,
a rootfs partition to mtdoops (which will happily erase it).

be95745f01 mtd: mtdoops: keep track of used/unused pages in an array
This patch makes mtdoops keep track of used/unused pages in an array
instead of scanning the flash after a write. The advantage with this
approach is that it avoids calling mtd->read on a panic, which is not

a15b124fc4 mtd: mtdoops: several minor cleanups
While looking into the mtdoops module, I've spotted several minor
imperfections. This patch addresses them. Namely:

1. Remove several trailing white-spaces and tabs
2. Check 'vmalloc()' return code straight away, not several lines
   below in the 'mtdoops_console_init()' function.
3. Clean up printks - make them more consistent and use the same
   code formatting style for them.
4. Remove silly style of putting brackets around everything in
   "if" operators.

e2a0f25b4f [MTD] mtdoops: allow MTD selection by name
MTD's have both an index number and a name.  Formerly,
the MTD selected for mtdoops was done only by index
number.  With this patch, a name can be used instead.

For example, the kernel command line:

	console=ttyMTD5

selects MTD 5 for mtdoops.  But now this is also possible:

	console=ttyMTD,log

which selects the MTD named "log" for mtdoops.

This has the advantage that partitions can be added or
removed that would affect the MTD index number but not the
name, without having to then change the kernel command line.

69423d99fc [MTD] update internal API to support 64-bit device size
MTD internal API presently uses 32-bit values to represent
device size.  This patch updates them to 64-bits but leaves
the external API unchanged.  Extending the external API
is a separate issue for several reasons.  First, no one
needs it at the moment.  Secondly, whether the implementation
is done with IOCTLs, sysfs or both is still debated.  Thirdly
external API changes require the internal API to be accepted
first.

Note that although the MTD API will be able to support 64-bit
device sizes, existing drivers do not and are not required
to do so, although NAND base has been updated.

In general, changing from 32-bit to 64-bit values cause little
or no changes to the majority of the code with the following
exceptions:
    	- printk message formats
    	- division and modulus of 64-bit values
    	- NAND base support
	- 32-bit local variables used by mtdpart and mtdconcat
	- naughtily assuming one structure maps to another
	in MEMERASE ioctl

8691a729a2 [MTD] Add sync/unblank function to mtdoops
mtdoops wasn't ensuring data was flushed to flash in crash situations
after recent changes in mainline kernels as tracking the
oops_in_progress variable was no longer enough. We can use the "unblank"
console call as a sync call to tell us to write out the buffer though.

Therefore add a sync function to mtdoops and call this when console
unblank events occur.

4b23aff083 [MTD] oops and panic message logging to MTD device
Kernel oops and panic messages are invaluable when debugging crashes.
These messages often don't make it to flash based logging methods (say a
syslog on jffs2) due to the overheads involved in writing to flash.

This patch allows you to turn an MTD partition into a circular log
buffer where kernel oops and panic messages are written to. The messages
are obtained by registering a console driver and checking
oops_in_progress. Erases are performed in advance to maximise the
chances of a saving messages.

To activate it, add console=ttyMTDx to the kernel commandline (where x
is the mtd device number to use).
