Hi! This is my stab at rearranging a few things based on Pavel's series. Most things remain the same; I just tweaked how defaults are arranged and detected and expanded the wording in a few places. Pavel, how does this v3 look to you? Pavel's original cover letter: pstore /mnt/console-ramoops-0 outputs only messages below the console loglevel, and our console loglevel is set to 3 due to slowness of serial console. Which means only errors and worse types of messages are recorded. There is no way to have different log levels for different consoles. This patch series adds a new option to ramoops: max_reason that enables it to collect kmdesg dumps for other reasons beside oops and panics. How to quickly test: virtme-run --mods=auto --kdir --mods=auto --kdir . \ -a memmap=1G$8G -a ramoops.mem_address=0x200000000 \ -a ramoops.mem_size=0x100000 -a ramoops.record_size=32768 \ -a ramoops.max_reason=5 -a quiet --qemu-opts -m 8G .. # reboot -f After VM is back: # mount -t pstore pstore /mnt # head /mnt/dmesg-ramoops-0 Restart#1 Part1 ... Changelog: v3: - expanded several comments and commit logs - move max_reason member earlier in the structure - refactored DT parsing to allow setting defaults - changed how deprecated dump_oops fields are detected and parsed - cleaned up some module param permissions v2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200505154510.93506-1-pasha.tatashin@xxxxxxxxxx v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200502143555.543636-1-pasha.tatashin@xxxxxxxxxx Thanks! -Kees Kees Cook (2): pstore/ram: Refactor DT size parsing pstore/ram: Adjust module param permissions to reflect reality Pavel Tatashin (4): printk: honor the max_reason field in kmsg_dumper pstore/platform: Pass max_reason to kmesg dump pstore/ram: Introduce max_reason and convert dump_oops ramoops: Add max_reason optional field to ramoops DT node Documentation/admin-guide/ramoops.rst | 14 +++- .../bindings/reserved-memory/ramoops.txt | 13 ++- drivers/platform/chrome/chromeos_pstore.c | 2 +- fs/pstore/platform.c | 4 +- fs/pstore/ram.c | 83 ++++++++++++------- include/linux/kmsg_dump.h | 1 + include/linux/pstore.h | 7 ++ include/linux/pstore_ram.h | 2 +- kernel/printk/printk.c | 15 +++- 9 files changed, 97 insertions(+), 44 deletions(-) -- 2.20.1
