SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +pstore block oops/panic logger +============================== + +Introduction +------------ + +pstore block (pstore/blk) is an oops/panic logger that writes its logs to a +block device before the system crashes. You can get these log files by +mounting pstore filesystem like:: + + mount -t pstore pstore /sys/fs/pstore + + +pstore block concepts +--------------------- + +pstore/blk provides efficient configuration method for pstore/blk, which +divides all configurations into two parts, configurations for user and +configurations for driver. + +Configurations for user determine how pstore/blk works, such as pmsg_size, +kmsg_size and so on. All of them support both Kconfig and module parameters, +but module parameters have priority over Kconfig. + +Configurations for driver are all about block device, such as total_size +of block device and read/write operations. + +Configurations for user +----------------------- + +All of these configurations support both Kconfig and module parameters, but +module parameters have priority over Kconfig. + +Here is an example for module parameters:: + + pstore_blk.blkdev=179:7 pstore_blk.kmsg_size=64 + +The detail of each configurations may be of interest to you. + +blkdev +~~~~~~ + +The block device to use. Most of the time, it is a partition of block device. +It's required for pstore/blk. + +It accepts the following variants: + +1.
device number in hexadecimal represents itself; no + leading 0x, for example b302. +#. /dev/ represents the device number of disk +#. /dev/ <decimal> represents the device number of partition - device + number of disk plus the partition number +#. /dev/ p<decimal> - same as the above; this form is used when disk + name of partitioned disk ends with a digit. +#. PARTUUID=00112233-4455-6677-8899-AABBCCDDEEFF represents the unique id of + a partition if the partition table provides it. The UUID may be either an + EFI/GPT UUID, or refer to an MSDOS partition using the format SSSSSSSS-PP, + where SSSSSSSS is a zero-filled hex representation of the 32-bit + "NT disk signature", and PP is a zero-filled hex representation of the + 1-based partition number. +#. PARTUUID=<UUID>/PARTNROFF=<int> to select a partition in relation to a + partition with a known unique id. +#. <major>:<minor> major and minor number of the device separated by a colon. + +kmsg_size +~~~~~~~~~ + +The chunk size in KB for oops/panic front-end. It **MUST** be a multiple of 4. +It's optional if you do not care oops/panic log. + +There are multiple chunks for oops/panic front-end depending on the remaining +space except other pstore front-ends. + +pstore/blk will log to oops/panic chunks one by one, and always overwrite the +oldest chunk if there is no more free chunk. + +pmsg_size +~~~~~~~~~ + +The chunk size in KB for pmsg front-end. It **MUST** be a multiple of 4. +It's optional if you do not care pmsg log. + +Unlike oops/panic front-end, there is only one chunk for pmsg front-end. + +Pmsg is a user space accessible pstore object. Writes to */dev/pmsg0* are +appended to the chunk. On reboot the contents are available in +*/sys/fs/pstore/pmsg-pstore-blk-0*. + +console_size +~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The chunk size in KB for console front-end. It **MUST** be a multiple of 4. +It's optional if you do not care console log. + +Similar to pmsg front-end, there is only one chunk for console front-end. + +All log of console will be appended to the chunk. On reboot the contents are +available in */sys/fs/pstore/console-pstore-blk-0*. + +ftrace_size +~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The chunk size in KB for ftrace front-end. It **MUST** be a multiple of 4. +It's optional if you do not care console log. + +Similar to oops front-end, there are multiple chunks for ftrace front-end +depending on the count of cpu processors. Each chunk size is equal to +ftrace_size / processors_count. + +All log of ftrace will be appended to the chunk. On reboot the contents are +combined and available in */sys/fs/pstore/ftrace-pstore-blk-0*. + +Persistent function tracing might be useful for debugging software or hardware +related hangs.

For example, to store both Oopses and Panics, +``max_reason`` should be set to 2 (KMSG_DUMP_OOPS), to store only Panics +``max_reason`` should be set to 1 (KMSG_DUMP_PANIC). Setting this to 0 +(KMSG_DUMP_UNDEF), means the reason filtering will be controlled by the +``printk.always_kmsg_dump`` boot param: if unset, it'll be KMSG_DUMP_OOPS, +otherwise KMSG_DUMP_MAX. + +Configurations for driver +------------------------- + +Only a block device driver cares about these configurations. A block device +driver uses ``register_pstore_blk`` to register to pstore/blk. + +.. kernel-doc:: fs/pstore/blk.c + :identifiers: register_pstore_blk + +Compression and header +---------------------- + +Block device is large enough for uncompressed oops data. Actually we do not +recommend data compression because pstore/blk will insert some information into +the first line of oops/panic data. For example:: + + Panic: Total 16 times + +It means that it's OOPS|Panic for the 16th time since the first booting. +Sometimes the number of occurrences of oops|panic since the first booting is +important to judge whether the system is stable. + +The following line is inserted by pstore filesystem. For example:: + + Oops#2 Part1 + +It means that it's OOPS for the 2nd time on the last boot. + +Reading the data +---------------- + +The dump data can be read from the pstore filesystem. The format for these +files is ``dmesg-pstore-blk-[N]`` for oops/panic front-end, +``pmsg-pstore-blk-0`` for pmsg front-end and so on. The timestamp of the +dump file records the trigger time. To delete a stored record from block +device, simply unlink the respective pstore file. + +Attentions in panic read/write APIs +----------------------------------- + +If on panic, the kernel is not going to run for much longer, the tasks will not +be scheduled and most kernel resources will be out of service. It +looks like a single-threaded program running on a single-core computer. + +The following points require special attention for panic read/write APIs: + +1. Can **NOT** allocate any memory. + If you need memory, just allocate while the block driver is initializing + rather than waiting until the panic. +#. Must be polled, **NOT** interrupt driven. + No task schedule any more. The block driver should delay to ensure the write + succeeds, but NOT sleep. +#. Can **NOT** take any lock. + There is no other task, nor any shared resource; you are safe to break all + locks. +#. Just use CPU to transfer. + Do not use DMA to transfer unless you are sure that DMA will not keep lock. +#. Control registers directly. + Please control registers directly rather than use Linux kernel resources. + Do I/O map while initializing rather than wait until a panic occurs. +#. Reset your block device and controller if necessary. + If you are not sure of the state of your block device and controller when + a panic occurs, you are safe to stop and reset them. + +pstore/blk supports psblk_blkdev_info(), which is defined in +*linux/pstore_blk.h*, to get information of using block device, such as the +device number, sector count and start sector of the whole disk. + +pstore block internals +---------------------- + +For developer reference, here are all the important structures and APIs: + +.. kernel-doc:: fs/pstore/zone.c + :internal: + +.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/pstore_zone.h + :internal: + +.. kernel-doc:: fs/pstore/blk.c + :export: + +.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/pstore_blk.h + :internal: diff --git a/MAINTAINERS b/MAINTAINERS index 1061db6fbc32..032e1d0f681b 100644 --- a/MAINTAINERS +++ b/MAINTAINERS @@ -11801,6 +11801,11 @@ M: Colin Cross M: Tony Luck S: Maintained T: git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux.git for-next/pstore +F: Documentation/admin-guide/ramoops.rst +F: Documentation/admin-guide/pstore-blk.rst +F: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/reserved-memory/ramoops.txt +F: drivers/acpi/apei/erst.c +F: drivers/firmware/efi/efi-pstore.c 注意保持原补丁内容,如上有重复文件ramoops.rst ramoops.txt efi-pstore.c等.........
