When you try to run an upstream kernel on an old ARM-based Chromebook you'll find that console-ramoops doesn't work. Old ARM-based Chromebooks, before <https://crrev.com/c/439792> ("ramoops: support upstream {console,pmsg,ftrace}-size properties") used to create a "ramoops" node at the top level that looked like: / { ramoops { compatible = "ramoops"; reg = <...>; record-size = <...>; dump-oops; }; }; ...and these Chromebooks assumed that the downstream kernel would make console_size / pmsg_size match the record size. The above ramoops node was added by the firmware so it's not easy to make any changes. Let's match the expected behavior, but only for those using the old backward-compatible way of working where ramoops is right under the root node. NOTE: if there are some out-of-tree devices that had ramoops at the top level, left everything but the record size as 0, and somehow doesn't want this behavior, we can try to add more conditions here.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
