* kmsg_dump: Dump on crash_kexec as wellKOSAKI Motohiro2009-12-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | crash_kexec gets called before kmsg_dump(KMSG_DUMP_OOPS) if panic_on_oops is set, so the kernel log buffer is not stored for this case. This patch adds a KMSG_DUMP_KEXEC dump type which gets called when crash_kexec() is invoked. To avoid getting double dumps, the old KMSG_DUMP_PANIC is moved below crash_kexec(). The mtdoops driver is modified to handle KMSG_DUMP_KEXEC in the same way as a panic.

* mtd: mtdoops: refactor as a kmsg_dumperSimon Kagstrom2009-11-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The last messages which happens before a crash might contain interesting information about the crash. This patch reworks mtdoops using the kmsg_dumper support instead of a console, which simplifies the code and also includes the messages before the oops started. On oops callbacks, the MTD device write is scheduled in a work queue (to be able to use the regular mtd->write call), while panics call mtd->panic_write directly. Thus, if panic_on_oops is set, the oops will be written out during the panic. A parameter to specify which mtd device to use (number or name), as well as a flag, writable at runtime, to toggle wheter to dump oopses or only panics (since oopses can often be handled by regular syslog). The patch was massaged and amended by Artem.

* mtd: mtdoops: make record size configurableSimon Kagstrom2009-11-30
| | | | | | | | | | | The main justification for this is to allow catching long messages during a panic, where the top part might otherwise be lost since moving to the next block can require a flash erase.

* mtd: mtdoops: limit the maximum mtd partition sizeSimon Kagstrom2009-11-30
| | | | | | | | | | | Make the maximum mtdoops partition size to be 8MiB. Indeed, it does not make sense to use anything larger than that anyway. This limit makes it possible to catch stupid mistakes where the user gives e.g., a rootfs partition to mtdoops (which will happily erase it).

* mtd: mtdoops: keep track of used/unused pages in an arraySimon Kagstrom2009-11-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes mtdoops keep track of used/unused pages in an array instead of scanning the flash after a write. The advantage with this approach is that it avoids calling mtd->read on a panic, which is not possible for all mtd drivers.

* mtd: mtdoops: several minor cleanupsArtem Bityutskiy2009-11-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While looking into the mtdoops module, I've spotted several minor imperfections. This patch addresses them. Namely: 1. Remove several trailing white-spaces and tabs 2. Check 'vmalloc()' return code straight away, not several lines below in the 'mtdoops_console_init()' function. 3. Clean up printks - make them more consistent and use the same code formatting style for them. 4. Remove silly style of putting brackets around everything in "if" operators.

* [MTD] mtdoops: allow MTD selection by nameAdrian Hunter2009-03-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | MTD's have both an index number and a name. Formerly, the MTD selected for mtdoops was done only by index number. With this patch, a name can be used instead. For example, the kernel command line: console=ttyMTD5 selects MTD 5 for mtdoops. But now this is also possible: console=ttyMTD,log which selects the MTD named "log" for mtdoops. This has the advantage that partitions can be added or removed that would affect the MTD index number but not the name, without having to then change the kernel command line.

* [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] 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).
