With this support kernel can save function 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 reset or panic. We store the log in a binary format and then decode it at read time. p.s. 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. Signed-off-by: Anton Vorontsov <anton.vorontsov@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

help
|
|
This option enables generic access to platform level
|
|
persistent storage via "pstore" filesystem that can
|
|
be mounted as /dev/pstore. Only useful if you have
|
|
a platform level driver that registers with pstore to
|
|
provide the data, so you probably should just go say "Y"
|
|
(or "M") to a platform specific persistent store driver
|
|
(e.g. ACPI_APEI on X86) which will select this for you.
|
|
If you don't have a platform persistent store driver,
|
|
say N.

buffer in RAM where it can be read back at some later point.
