This is a child-node of "/reserved-memory", and +is named "ramoops" after the backend, rather than "pstore" which is the +subsystem. + +Parts of this storage may be set aside for other persistent log buffers, such +as kernel log messages, or for optional ECC error-correction data. The total +size of these optional buffers must fit in the reserved region. + +Any remaining space will be used for a circular buffer of oops and panic +records. These records have a configurable size, with a size of 0 indicating +that they should be disabled. + +At least one of "record-size", "console-size", "ftrace-size", or "pmsg-size" +must be set non-zero, but are otherwise optional as listed below. + + +Required properties: + +- compatible: must be "ramoops" + +- reg: region of memory that is preserved between reboots + + +Optional properties: + +- ecc-size: enables ECC support and specifies ECC buffer size in bytes + (defaults to 0: no ECC) + +- record-size: maximum size in bytes of each dump done on oops/panic + (defaults to 0: disabled) + +- console-size: size in bytes of log buffer reserved for kernel messages + (defaults to 0: disabled) + +- ftrace-size: size in bytes of log buffer reserved for function tracing and + profiling (defaults to 0: disabled) + +- pmsg-size: size in bytes of log buffer reserved for userspace messages + (defaults to 0: disabled) + +- unbuffered: if present, use unbuffered mappings to map the reserved region + (defaults to buffered mappings) + +- no-dump-oops: if present, only dump panics (defaults to panics and oops) |
