Hi all,
In v3:
- Make traces versioned, as suggested by Steven, Tony and Colin. (The
version tag is stored in the PRZ signature, see the last patch for
the implementation details).
- Add Steven's Ack on the first patch.
In v2:
- Do not introduce a separate 'persistent' tracer, but introduce an
option to the existing 'function' tracer.
Rationale for this patch set:
With this support kernel can save functions 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 hang or an unexpected reset (caused by, for
example, a buggy driver that abuses HW).
Here's a "nano howto", to get the idea:
# mount -t debugfs debugfs /sys/kernel/debug/
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
# echo function > current_tracer
# echo 1 > options/func_pstore
# reboot -f
[...]
# mount -t pstore pstore /mnt/
# tail /mnt/ftrace-ramoops

0 ffffffff811d9d14 ffffffff811d9c3f delay_tsc <- __delay+0xf/0x20
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,
and ported it to pstore subsystem.
