Kees Cook 4c9ec21976 pstore: Remove write_buf() callback
Now that write() and write_buf() are functionally identical, this removes
write_buf(), and renames write_buf_user() to write_user(). Additionally
adds sanity-checks for pstore_info's declared functions and flags at
registration time.

Kees Cook b10b471145 pstore: Replace arguments for write_buf() API
As with the other API updates, this removes the long argument list in favor
of passing a single pstore recaord.

Joel Fernandes 7a0032f504 pstore: Use global ftrace filters for function trace filtering
Currently, pstore doesn't have any filters setup for function tracing.
This has the associated overhead and may not be useful for users looking
for tracing specific set of functions.

ftrace's regular function trace filtering is done writing to
tracing/set_ftrace_filter however this is not available if not requested.
In order to be able to use this feature, the support to request global
filtering introduced earlier in the series should be requested before
registering the ftrace ops. Here we do the same.

Joel Fernandes fbccdeb8d7 pstore: Add ftrace timestamp counter
In preparation for merging the per CPU buffers into one buffer when
we retrieve the pstore ftrace data, we store the timestamp as a
counter in the ftrace pstore record.  We store the CPU number as well
if !PSTORE_CPU_IN_IP, in this case we shift the counter and may lose
ordering there but we preserve the same record size. The timestamp counter
is also racy, and not doing any locking or synchronization here results
in the benefit of lower overhead. Since we don't care much here for exact
ordering of function traces across CPUs, we don't synchronize and may lose
some counter updates but I'm ok with that.

Using trace_clock() results in much lower performance so avoid using it
since we don't want accuracy in timestamp and need a rough ordering to
perform merge.

Geliang Tang ee1d267423 pstore: add pstore unregister
pstore doesn't support unregistering yet. It was marked as TODO.
This patch adds some code to fix it:
 1) Add functions to unregister kmsg/console/ftrace/pmsg.
 2) Add a function to free compression buffer.
 3) Unmap the memory and free it.
 4) Add a function to unregister pstore filesystem.

Anton Vorontsov 65f8c95e46 pstore/ftrace: Convert to its own enable/disable debugfs knob
With this patch we no longer reuse function tracer infrastructure, now
we register our own tracer back-end via a debugfs knob.

It's a bit more code, but that is the only downside. On the bright side we
have:

- Ability to make persistent_ram module removable (when needed, we can
  move ftrace_ops struct into a module). Note that persistent_ram is still
  not removable for other reasons, but with this patch it's just one
  thing less to worry about;

- Pstore part is more isolated from the generic function tracer. We tried
  it already by registering our own tracer in available_tracers, but that
  way we're loosing ability to see the traces while we record them to
  pstore. This solution is somewhere in the middle: we only register
  "internal ftracer" back-end, but not the "front-end";

- When there is only pstore tracing enabled, the kernel will only write
  to the pstore buffer, omitting function tracer buffer (which, of course,
  still can be enabled via 'echo function > current_tracer').

Anton Vorontsov 060287b8c4 pstore: Add persistent function tracing
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.
