linux-toradex.git/Documentation/ABI/testing/pstore, branch tegra Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules pstore: Allow the user to explicitly choose a backend 2011-07-22T23:14:39+00:00 Matthew Garrett mjg@redhat.com 2011-07-21T20:57:55+00:00 dee28e72b619b48ec80a9e5509db458dbe66f71f pstore only allows one backend to be registered at present, but the system may provide several. Add a parameter to allow the user to choose which backend will be used rather than just relying on load order.

pstore: use mount option instead sysfs to tweak kmsg_bytes 2011-03-21T20:50:05+00:00 Luck, Tony tony.luck@intel.com 2011-03-18T22:33:43+00:00 366f7e7a79b19bd8c4e8f55fdf12b81538d1a7a4 /sys/fs is a somewhat strange way to tweak what could more obviously be tuned with a mount option.

pstore: new filesystem interface to platform persistent storage 2010-12-28T22:25:21+00:00 Tony Luck tony.luck@intel.com 2010-12-28T22:25:21+00:00 ca01d6dd2d7a2652000307520777538740efc286 Some platforms have a small amount of non-volatile storage that can be used to store information useful to diagnose the cause of a system crash. This is the generic part of a file system interface that presents information from the crash as a series of files in /dev/pstore. Once the information has been seen, the underlying storage is freed by deleting the files. Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
