* pstore: Remove write_buf() callbackKees Cook2017-03-071-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | Now that write() and write_buf() are functionally identical, this removes write_buf(), and renames write_buf_user() to write_user(). Additionally adds sanity-checks for pstore_info's declared functions and flags at registration time. Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>
* pstore: Replace arguments for write_buf() APIKees Cook2017-03-071-2/+7
| | | | | | | As with the other API updates, this removes the long argument list in favor of passing a single pstore recaord. Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>
* pstore: Use global ftrace filters for function trace filteringJoel Fernandes2016-11-161-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, pstore doesn't have any filters setup for function tracing. This has the associated overhead and may not be useful for users looking for tracing specific set of functions. ftrace's regular function trace filtering is done writing to tracing/set_ftrace_filter however this is not available if not requested. In order to be able to use this feature, the support to request global filtering introduced earlier in the series should be requested before registering the ftrace ops. Here we do the same.

* pstore: Add ftrace timestamp counterJoel Fernandes2016-11-161-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In preparation for merging the per CPU buffers into one buffer when we retrieve the pstore ftrace data, we store the timestamp as a counter in the ftrace pstore record. We store the CPU number as well if !PSTORE_CPU_IN_IP, in this case we shift the counter and may lose ordering there but we preserve the same record size. The timestamp counter is also racy, and not doing any locking or synchronization here results in the benefit of lower overhead. Since we don't care much here for exact ordering of function traces across CPUs, we don't synchronize and may lose some counter updates but I'm ok with that. Using trace_clock() results in much lower performance so avoid using it since we don't want accuracy in timestamp and need a rough ordering to perform merge.

* pstore: add pstore unregisterGeliang Tang2015-10-221-6/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | pstore doesn't support unregistering yet. It was marked as TODO. This patch adds some code to fix it: 1) Add functions to unregister kmsg/console/ftrace/pmsg. 2) Add a function to free compression buffer. 3) Unmap the memory and free it. 4) Add a function to unregister pstore filesystem.

* pstore: Add hsize argument in write_buf call of pstore_ftrace_callAruna Balakrishnaiah2013-07-021-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Incorporate the addition of hsize argument in write_buf callback of pstore. This was forgotten in 6bbbca735936e15b9431882eceddcf6dff76e03c pstore: Pass header size in the pstore write callback Causing a build failure when ftrace and pstore are enabled.

* pstore/ftrace: Convert to its own enable/disable debugfs knobAnton Vorontsov2012-09-071-1/+95
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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').

* pstore: Add persistent function tracingAnton Vorontsov2012-07-171-0/+35
With this support kernel can save function call chain log 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. We store the log in a binary format and then decode it at read time. p.s. Mostly the code comes from trace_persistent.c driver found in the Android git tree, written by Colin Cross <ccross@android.com> (according to sign-off history). I reworked the driver a little bit, and ported it to pstore. Signed-off-by: Anton Vorontsov <anton.vorontsov@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
