pstore-ram: Allow optional mapping with pgprot_noncached 2014-12-11T21:38:31+00:00 Tony Lindgren tony@atomide.com 2014-09-16T20:50:01+00:00 027bc8b08242c59e19356b4b2c189f2d849ab660 On some ARMs the memory can be mapped pgprot_noncached() and still be working for atomic operations.

pstore-ram: Fix hangs by using write-combine mappings 2014-12-11T21:35:49+00:00 Rob Herring robherring2@gmail.com 2014-09-12T18:32:24+00:00 7ae9cb81933515dc7db1aa3c47ef7653717e3090 Currently trying to use pstore on at least ARMs can hang as we're mapping the peristent RAM with pgprot_noncached(). On ARMs, pgprot_noncached() will actually make the memory strongly ordered, and as the atomic operations pstore uses are implementation defined for strongly ordered memory, they may not work. So basically atomic operations have undefined behavior on ARM for device or strongly ordered memory types. Let's fix the issue by using write-combine variants for mappings. This corresponds to normal, non-cacheable memory on ARM. For many other architectures, this change does not change the mapping type as by default we have: #define pgprot_writecombine pgprot_noncached The reason why pgprot_noncached() was originaly used for pstore is because Colin Cross <ccross@android.com> had observed lost debug prints right before a device hanging write operation on some systems. For the platforms supporting pgprot_noncached(), we can add a an optional configuration option to support that. But let's get pstore working first before adding new features.

pstore/ram: Strip ramoops header for correct decompression 2014-11-05T17:58:17+00:00 Ben Zhang benzh@chromium.org 2014-10-31T00:14:21+00:00 a28726b4fb624f81d637a8afb9ea12fc16500f61 pstore compression/decompression was added during 3.12. The ramoops driver prepends a "====timestamp.timestamp-C|D\n" header to the compressed record before handing it over to pstore driver which doesn't know about the header. In pstore_decompress(), the pstore driver reads the first "==" as a zlib header, so the decompression always fails. For example, this causes the driver to write /dev/pstore/dmesg-ramoops-0.enc.z instead of /dev/pstore/dmesg-ramoops-0.
