WeiXiong Liao 17639f67c1 pstore/blk: Introduce backend for block devices
pstore/blk is similar to pstore/ram, but uses a block device as the
storage rather than persistent ram.

The pstore/blk backend solves two common use-cases that used to preclude
using pstore/ram:
- not all devices have a battery that could be used to persist
  regular RAM across power failures.
- most embedded intelligent equipment have no persistent ram, which
  increases costs, instead preferring cheaper solutions, like block
  devices.

pstore/blk provides separate configurations for the end user and for the
block drivers. User configuration determines how pstore/blk operates, such
as record sizes, max kmsg dump reasons, etc. These can be set by Kconfig
and/or module parameters, but module parameter have priority over Kconfig.
Driver configuration covers all the details about the target block device,
such as total size of the device and how to perform read/write operations.
These are provided by block drivers, calling pstore_register_blkdev(),
including an optional panic_write callback used to bypass regular IO
APIs in an effort to avoid potentially destabilized kernel code during
a panic.

Arnd Bergmann 58eb5b6707 pstore: fix crypto dependencies
The new crypto API use causes some problems with Kconfig dependencies,
including this link error:

fs/pstore/platform.o: In function `pstore_register':
platform.c:(.text+0x248): undefined reference to `crypto_has_alg'

lz4hc.c:(.init.text+0x1f): undefined reference to `crypto_register_scomp'
lz4hc.c:(.init.text+0x2f): undefined reference to `crypto_unregister_alg'

The problem is that with CONFIG_CRYPTO=m, we must not 'select CRYPTO_LZ4'
from a bool symbol, or call crypto API functions from a built-in
module.

This turns the sub-options into 'tristate' ones so the dependencies
are honored, and makes the pstore itself select the crypto core
if necessary.

Geliang Tang cb3bee0369 pstore: Use crypto compress API
In the pstore compression part, we use zlib/lzo/lz4/lz4hc/842
compression algorithm API to implement pstore compression backends. But
there are many repeat codes in these implementations. This patch uses
crypto compress API to simplify these codes.

1) rewrite allocate_buf_for_compression, free_buf_for_compression,
pstore_compress, pstore_decompress functions using crypto compress API.
2) drop compress, decompress, allocate, free functions in pstore_zbackend,
and add zbufsize function to get each different compress buffer size.
3) use late_initcall to call ramoops_init later, to make sure the crypto
subsystem has already initialized.
4) use 'unsigned int' type instead of 'size_t' in pstore_compress,
pstore_decompress functions' length arguments.
5) rename 'zlib' to 'deflate' to follow the crypto API's name convention.

Geliang Tang 8cfc8ddc99 pstore: add lzo/lz4 compression support
Like zlib compression in pstore, this patch added lzo and lz4
compression support so that users can have more options and better
compression ratio.

The original code treats the compressed data together with the
uncompressed ECC correction notice by using zlib decompress. The
ECC correction notice is missing in the decompression process. The
treatment also makes lzo and lz4 not working. So I treat them
separately by using pstore_decompress() to treat the compressed
data, and memcpy() to treat the uncompressed ECC correction notice.

Anton Vorontsov 65f8c95e46 pstore/ftrace: Convert to its own enable/disable debugfs knob
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').

Anton Vorontsov 060287b8c4 pstore: Add persistent function tracing
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,

Anton Vorontsov f29e5956ae pstore: Add console log messages support
Pstore doesn't support logging kernel messages in run-time, it only
dumps dmesg when kernel oopses/panics. This makes pstore useless for
debugging hangs caused by HW issues or improper use of HW (e.g.
weird device inserted -> driver tried to write a reserved bits ->
SoC hanged. In that case we don't get any messages in the pstore.

Therefore, let's add a runtime logging support: PSTORE_TYPE_CONSOLE.

2. In pstore/ram.c we have to play a bit with MODULE_PARAM_PREFIX, this
