* [MTD] update internal API to support 64-bit device sizeAdrian Hunter2008-12-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <ext-adrian.hunter@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>
* [MTD] mtdoops: Fix a bug where block may not be erasedRichard Purdie2008-10-18
| | | | | | | | | This makes the driver erase a block when it doesn't find any existing saved log messages which is safer than assuming the flash was already erased. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>
* [MTD] mtdoops: Add a magic number to logged kernel oopsRichard Purdie2008-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | Add a magic number to logged kernel oops messages so that they can be more accurately detected rather than just having to rely on the sequence number. This also allows easier detection of saved crashes by userspace. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>

* [MTD] Add sync/unblank function to mtdoopsRichard Purdie2007-07-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [MTD] oops and panic message logging to MTD deviceRichard Purdie2007-06-28
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).
