With this patch we no longer reuse function tracer infrastructure, now we register our own tracer back-end via a debugfs knob. It's a bit more code, but that is the only downside. On the bright side we have: - Ability to make persistent_ram module removable (when needed, we can move ftrace_ops struct into a module). Note that persistent_ram is still not removable for other reasons, but with this patch it's just one thing less to worry about; - Pstore part is more isolated from the generic function tracer. We tried it already by registering our own tracer in available_tracers, but that way we're loosing ability to see the traces while we record them to pstore. This solution is somewhere in the middle: we only register "internal ftracer" back-end, but not the "front-end"; - When there is only pstore tracing enabled, the kernel will only write to the pstore buffer, omitting function tracer buffer (which, of course, still can be enabled via 'echo function > current_tracer').

|
|
This option enables generic access to platform level
|
|
persistent storage via "pstore" filesystem that can
|
|
be mounted as /dev/pstore. Only useful if you have
|
|
a platform level driver that registers with pstore to
|
|
provide the data, so you probably should just go say "Y"
|
|
(or "M") to a platform specific persistent store driver
|
|
(e.g. ACPI_APEI on X86) which will select this for you.
|
|
If you don't have a platform persistent store driver,
|
|
say N.

With this option kernel traces function calls into a persistent
|
|
ram buffer that can be decoded and dumped after reboot through
|
|
pstore filesystem. It can be used to determine what function
|
|
was last called before a reset or panic.
|
|
|
|
If unsure, say N.

This enables panic and oops messages to be logged to a circular
|
|
buffer in RAM where it can be read back at some later point.

Note that for historical reasons, the module will be named
|

"ramoops.ko".
