pstore: new filesystem interface to platform persistent storage
Some platforms have a small amount of non-volatile storage that can be used to store information useful to diagnose the cause of a system crash. This is the generic part of a file system interface that presents information from the crash as a series of files in /dev/pstore. Once the information has been seen, the underlying storage is freed by deleting the files. Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

+Description: Generic interface to platform dependent persistent storage.
+
+ Platforms that provide a mechanism to preserve some data
+ across system reboots can register with this driver to
+ provide a generic interface to show records captured in
+ the dying moments. In the case of a panic the last part
+ of the console log is captured, but other interesting
+ data can also be saved.
+
+ # mount -t pstore - /dev/pstore
+
+ $ ls -l /dev/pstore
+ total 0
+ -r--r--r-- 1 root root 7896 Nov 30 15:38 dmesg-erst-1
+
+ Different users of this interface will result in different
+ filename prefixes. Currently two are defined:
+
+ "dmesg" - saved console log
+ "mce" - architecture dependent data from fatal h/w error
+
+ Once the information in a file has been read, removing
+ the file will signal to the underlying persistent storage
+ device that it can reclaim the space for later re-use.
+
+ $ rm /dev/pstore/dmesg-erst-1
+
+ The expectation is that all files in /dev/pstore
+ will be saved elsewhere and erased from persistent store
+ soon after boot to free up space ready for the next
+ catastrophe.

+ help
+ This option enables generic access to platform level
+ persistent storage via "pstore" filesystem that can
+ be mounted as /dev/pstore. Only useful if you have
+ a platform level driver that registers with pstore to
+ provide the data, so you probably should just go say "Y"
+ (or "M") to a platform specific persistent store driver
+ (e.g. ACPI_APEI on X86) which will select this for you.
+ If you don't have a platform persistent store driver,
+ say N.
