PStore parameters can be set in U-Boot configuration file, or at run-time using "pstore set" command. Records size should be the same as the ones used by kernel, and should be a power of 2. This command allows: - to display uncompressed logs - to save compressed or uncompressed logs, compressed logs are saved as a compressed stream, it may need some work to be able to decompress it, e.g. adding a fake header: "printf "\x1f\x8b\x08\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00" | cat - dmesg-ramoops-0.enc.z | gzip -dc" - ECC part is not used to check memory corruption - only 1st FTrace log is displayed or saved Signed-off-by: Fr?d?ric Danis Cc: Tom Rini Cc: Heinrich Schuchardt Cc: Wolfgang Denk Cc: Heiko Schocher --- Changes in v5: None Changes in v4: None Changes in v3: - Add default value for PStore memory size - Remove default value of PStore memory address - Update config entry helps - Replace calls to debug() by log_debug() - Update documentation Changes in v2: - Fix 64bit mode build warnings - Add documentation - Add function description comments - Replace calls to pr_debug() by debug() cmd/Kconfig | 71 +++++++ cmd/Makefile | 1 + cmd/pstore.c | 505 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ doc/index.rst | 7 + doc/pstore.rst | 74 ++++++++ 5 files changed, 658 insertions(+) create mode 100644 cmd/pstore.c create mode 100644 doc/pstore.rst diff --git a/cmd/Kconfig b/cmd/Kconfig index 6403bc45a5..cd202bf7fb 100644 --- a/cmd/Kconfig +++ b/cmd/Kconfig @@ -1736,6 +1736,77 @@ config CMD_QFW feature is to allow easy loading of files passed to qemu-system via -kernel / -initrd +config CMD_PSTORE + bool "pstore" + help + This provides access to Linux PStore with Rammoops backend.
