It was inspired by kgdboc.

This is a debug module that allows you to get all kernel logs
after panic.

Normally you need to attach a USB-to-UART tool or enable kdump
before panic happens to get log from kernel after panic. If you
didn't do that and kdump is not working, you can't get any log to
know what happened before panic. If you have a USB-to-UART tool
and the uart port on your computer is working. This module helps
you to get all kernel log after panic() is called.

To use this, see Documentation/dev-tools/panic_serial_helper.rst.

Tested on arm64, x86 device.

This file name (panic_serial_helper) also needs to be added to
Documentation/dev-tools/index.rst.

                  device (PC,                etc.).

You have already said "after panic".

It might be nice to provide case-ignored filter matching, e.g.,
find "CPU" or "cpu".

This is the wrong place for "PANIC SERIAL CONSOLE".
The MAINTAINERS file should remain in alphabetical order.

I have comments here and similar ones in the documentation file.
It would be quite OK to make the Kconfig help text shorter and refer
to the Documentation file for more detailed help.

Not a typo, the order that uart_parse_options parse is parity, bits, 
flow. "115200 8N1" shows in minicom setting window.

It just means that I cut out parts of your email that I was not responding to.

It is preferable to trim email replies much of the time.

Thanks.

+=================================================
+Using panic serial helper to get kernel logs after panic
+=================================================
+
+:Author: Hongyu Xie <xiehongyu1@kylinos.cn>
+
+What is this?
+============
+
+A debug module inspired by kgdboc that allows you to get all kernel logs
+after panic.
+
+When do you need it and why?
+============
+
+When
+--------------
+
+Didn't enable debugging tool like Kdump and didn't connect a USB-to-UART
+tool to the debug uart port on your PC before panic.
+
+Why
+--------------
+
+There are many debugging methods to know what was going on before panic.
+
+Kdump, for example. If Kdump is enabled, you can get a core image after
+panic. Then use GDB or Crash to debug that core image to know what happened
+before panic(see ``Documentation/admin-guide/kdump/kdump.rst`` for more
+information about Kdump).
+
+Another way is to connect the UART side of a USB-to-UART tool to the
+debugging uart port(normally a 3 pin slot on the motherborad or a RS232
+port on the back panel of your PC) before panic happens. Then connect the
+USB side of a USB-to-UART tool to another PC. You can read all the kernel
+logs coming from that uart port through apps like minicom on another PC.
+So when panic happens you'll know what was going on.
+
+What if Kdump hasn't been enabled? And in production environment you don't
+always connect a USB-to-UART tool before panic happens.
+
+So if Kdump is not enabled, you can use this module to get all the kernel
+logs after panic.
+
+How to use it?
+============
+
+Prerequisites
+--------------
+
+1. Same as kgdboc, the UART driver must implement two callbacks in the
+struct uart_ops. See ``Documentation/dev-tools/kgdb.rst`` section
+``kgdboc and uarts``
+
+2. Your PC has an uart port and it's working.
+
+How
+--------------
+
+First you need to enable ``CONFIG_PANIC_SERIAL_HELPER`` in your
+config. To enable ``CONFIG_PANIC_SERIAL_HELPER`` you should look under
+:menuselection:
+`Device Drivers
+  --> Character devices
+    --> Enable TTY (TTY [=y])
+      --> Serial drivers`
+and select
+:menuselection:`debug through uart after panic`.
+
+Second, build and update the kernel image. Then wait for panic.
+
+After panic, you need to do the following,
+1. connect the uart side of an USB-to-UART tool to any uart
+  port on your device(PC, server, Laptop, etc...) after panic.
+  Connect the USB side of that tool to another PC. Open
+  minicom(or other app) on that PC, and set "/dev/ttyUSB0"(or
+  "/dev/ttyUSB1 if there is already another USB-to-UART tool
+  connected to your device) with "115200 8N1".
+
+  It automatically selects the port where you first pressing the
+  "Enter"(some keyboard labeled with "Return")
+
+2. press "Enter"(some keyboard labeled with "Return") in that
+  minicom window, you'll get a help menu,
+  "
+  help:
+      -a      show all kernel msg
+      -3      show S3 msg
+      -4      show S4 msg
+      -filter-[string]        show msg contains [string]
+      -q-     quit
+  "
+
+see ``Help menu options`` for details.
+
+3. finally, type 'a', '3', '4', 'q' or "filter-xxx" then press
+ "Enter" to get what you want.
+
+Help menu options
+--------------
+Available options:
+
+ - a
+
+   Show all the messages starting from ``Booting Linux on ...``
+
+ - 3
+
+   If STR happened before panic, this will show messages starting from
+   ``PM: suspend entry...``
+
+ - 4
+
+   If STD happened before panic, this will show messages starting from
+   ``PM: hibernation entry...``
+
+ - filter-[string]
+
+   Only show messages that contain ``string``. For example, if you're only
+   interesting in message lines that contain ``CPU``, you just input
+   ``filter-CPU``.
+   Here is an output example for fitering ``CPU``::
+
+   <6>[    0.000000] Booting Linux on physical CPU 0x0000000000 [0x701f6633

+	  This is a debug module that allows you to get all kernel logs
+	  after panic.
+
+	  Normally you need to attach a USB-to-UART tool or enable kdump
+	  before panic happens to get log from kernel after panic. If you
+	  didn't do that and kdump is not working, you can't get any log to
+	  know what happened before panic. If you have a USB-to-UART tool
+	  and the uart port on your computer is working. This module helps
+	  you to get all kernel log after panic() is called.
+
+	  This module use serial port in poll mode, so it's more stable
+	  than other debugging methods.
+
+	  To use this, you need to do the following after panic,
+	    1. connect the uart side of an USB-to-UART tool to any uart
+	    port on your device(PC, server, Laptop, etc...) after panic.
+	    Connect the USB side of that tool to another PC. Open
+	    minicom(or other app) on that PC, and set "/dev/ttyUSB0"(or
+	    "/dev/ttyUSB1 if there is already another USB-to-UART tool
+	    connected to your device) with "115200 8N1".
+
+	    It automatically selects the port where you first pressing the
+	    "Enter"(some keyboard labeled with "Return")
+
+	    2.press "Enter"(some keyboard labeled with "Return") in that
+	    minicom window, you'll get a help menu,
+	    "
+	    help:
+	        -a      show all kernel msg
