Minidump is a best effort mechanism to collect useful and predefined data for first level of debugging on end user devices running on Qualcomm SoCs. It is built on the premise that System on Chip (SoC) or subsystem part of SoC crashes, due to a range of hardware and software bugs. Hence, the ability to collect accurate data is only a best-effort. The data collected could be invalid or corrupted, data collection itself could fail, and so on. Qualcomm devices in engineering mode provides a mechanism for generating full system ramdumps for post mortem debugging. But in some cases it's however not feasible to capture the entire content of RAM. The minidump mechanism provides the means for selecting which snippets should be included in the ramdump. The core of minidump feature is part of Qualcomm's boot firmware code. It initializes shared memory (SMEM), which is a part of DDR and allocates a small section of SMEM to minidump table i.e also called global table of content (G-ToC). Each subsystem (APSS, ADSP, ...) has their own table of segments to be included in the minidump and all get their reference from G-ToC. Each segment/region has some details like name, physical address and it's size etc. and it could be anywhere scattered in the DDR. Existing upstream Qualcomm remoteproc driver[1] already supports minidump feature for remoteproc instances like ADSP, MODEM, ... where predefined selective segments of subsystem region can be dumped as part of coredump collection which generates smaller size artifacts compared to complete coredump of subsystem on crash. [1] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/tree/drivers/remoteproc/qcom_common.c#n142 In addition to managing and querying the APSS minidump description, the Linux driver maintains a ELF header in a segment. This segment gets updated with section/program header whenever a new entry gets registered. Patch 1/6 is very trivial change. Patch 2/6 moves the minidump specific data structure and macro to qcom_minidump.h so that (4/6) minidump driver can use. Patch 3/6 documents qualcomm minidump guide for users. Patch 4/6 implements qualcomm minidump kernel driver and exports symbol which other minidump kernel client can use. Patch 5/6 enables the qualcomm minidump driver. Patch 6/6 Use the exported symbol from minidump driver in qcom_common for querying minidump descriptor for a subsystem. Testing of the patches has been done on sm8450 target with the help of out of tree patch which helps to set the download mode and storage type and to warm reset the device. Download mode setting patches are floating here, https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1679070482-8391-1-git-send-email-quic_mojha@xxxxxxxxxxx/ Default storage type is set to via USB, so minidump would be downloaded with the help of x86_64 machine running PCAT attached to Qualcomm device which has backed minidump boot firmware support(more can be found patch 3/6) Below patch [1] is to warm reset Qualcomm device which has upstream qcom watchdog driver support. After applying all patches, we can boot the device and can execute following command. echo mini > /sys/module/qcom_scm/parameters/download_mode echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger This will make the device go to download mode and collect the minidump on to the attached x86 machine running the Qualcomm PCAT tool. We will see a bunch of predefined registered region as binary blobs starts with md_*. A sample client example to dump a linux region has been given in 3/6.
