2012-06-15kmsg - kmsg_dump() use iterator to receive log buffer contentKay Sievers
Provide an iterator to receive the log buffer content, and convert all kmsg_dump() users to it. The structured data in the kmsg buffer now contains binary data, which should no longer be copied verbatim to the kmsg_dump() users. The iterator should provide reliable access to the buffer data, and also supports proper log line-aware chunking of data while iterating.

2012-01-12kexec: remove KMSG_DUMP_KEXECWANG Cong
KMSG_DUMP_KEXEC is useless because we already save kernel messages inside /proc/vmcore, and it is unsafe to allow modules to do other stuffs in a crash dump scenario.

2011-12-08powerpc/nvram: Add spinlock to oops_to_nvram to prevent oops in compression ↵Anton Blanchard
code. When issuing a system reset we almost always oops in the oops_to_nvram code because multiple CPUs are using the deflate work area. Add a spinlock to protect it. To play it safe I'm using trylock to avoid locking up if the NVRAM code oopses. This means we might miss multiple CPUs oopsing at exactly the same time but I think it's best to play it safe for now. Once we are happy with the reliability we can change it to a full spinlock.

2011-09-20powerpc/nvram: Add compression to fit more oops output into NVRAMJim Keniston
Capture more than twice as much text from the printk buffer, and compress it to fit it in the lnx,oops-log NVRAM partition. You can view the compressed text using the new (as of July 20) --unzip option of the nvram command in the powerpc-utils package.

2011-03-30powerpc/nvram: Don't overwrite oops/panic report on normal shutdownJim Keniston
For normal halt, reboot, and poweroff events, refrain from overwriting the lnx,oops-log partition. Also, don't save the dmesg buffer on an emergency-restart event if we've already saved it earlier in panic().

2011-03-04powerpc/pseries/nvram: Capture oops/panic reports in ibm, oops-log partitionJim Keniston
Create the lnx,oops-log NVRAM partition, and capture the end of the printk buffer in it when there's an oops or panic. If we can't create the lnx,oops-log partition, capture the oops/panic report in ibm,rtas-log.

2010-11-30powerpc/nvram: Rename ppc64,linux partition to ibm,rtas-logBenjamin Herrenschmidt
I'm not aware of any userspace tool accessing it by its name anyways, it's read back by the kernel itself on the next boot to get back older log entries Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2010-11-30powerpc/nvram: Move the log partition stuff to pseriesBenjamin Herrenschmidt
The nvram log partition stuff currently in nvram_64.c is really pseries specific. It isn't actually used on anything else (despite the fact that we ran the code to setup the partition on anything except powermac) and the log format is specific to pseries RTAS implementation. So move it where it belongs Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

2010-11-30powerpc/nvram: Move things out of asm/nvram.hBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This moves a bunch of definitions out of asm/nvram.h to the files that use them or just outright remove completely unused stuff. We leave the partition signatures definitions, they will be useful Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.
