The sequence of actions done by device drivers to append their device
specific hardware/firmware logs to /proc/vmcore are as follows:
1. During probe (before hardware is initialized), device drivers
register to the vmcore module (via vmcore_add_device_dump()), with
callback function, along with buffer size and log name needed for
firmware/hardware log collection.
2. vmcore module allocates the buffer with requested size. It adds
an Elf note and invokes the device driver's registered callback
function.
3. Device driver collects all hardware/firmware logs into the buffer
and returns control back to vmcore module.
Ensure that the device dump buffer size is always aligned to page size
so that it can be mmaped.
Also, rename alloc_elfnotes_buf() to vmcore_alloc_buf() to make it more
generic and reserve NT_VMCOREDD note type to indicate vmcore device
dump.

v4:
- Made __vmcore_add_device_dump() static.
- Moved compile check to define vmcore_add_device_dump() to
crash_dump.h to fix compilation when vmcore.c is not compiled in.
- Convert ---help--- to help in Kconfig as indicated by checkpatch.
- Rebased to tip.
v3:
- Dropped sysfs crashdd module.
- Added CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE_DEVICE_DUMP to allow configuring device
dump support.
- Moved logic related to adding dumps from crashdd to vmcore module.
- Rename all crashdd* to vmcoredd*.
v2:
- Added ABI Documentation for crashdd.
- Directly use octal permission instead of macro.
Changes since rfc v2:
- Moved exporting crashdd from procfs to sysfs. Suggested by
Stephen Hemminger <stephen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
- Moved code from fs/proc/crashdd.c to fs/crashdd/ directory.
- Replaced all proc API with sysfs API and updated comments.
- Calling driver callback before creating the binary file under
crashdd sysfs.
- Changed binary dump file permission from S_IRUSR to S_IRUGO.
- Changed module name from CRASH_DRIVER_DUMP to CRASH_DEVICE_DUMP.
rfc v2:
- Collecting logs in 2nd kernel instead of during kernel panic.
Suggested by Eric Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>.
- Patch added in this series.
