[PATCH v3] pstore-ram: add Device Tree bindings

From: Greg Hackmann
Date: Thu Jan 07 2016 - 18:41:55 EST


ramoops is one of the remaining places where ARM vendors still rely on
board-specific shims. Device Tree lets us replace those shims with
generic code.

These bindings mirror the ramoops module parameters, with two small
differences:

(1) dump_oops becomes an optional "no-dump-oops" property, since ramoops
sets dump_oops=1 by default.

(2) mem_type=1 becomes the more self-explanatory "unbuffered" property.

Changes in V3:
- documentation fixes
- look for "no-ram-oops" property as documented

Changes in V2:
- make DT binding documentation more generic

+Ramoops oops/panic logger
+=========================
+
+ramoops provides persistent RAM storage for oops and panics, so they can be
+recovered after a reboot.
+
+Parts of this storage may be set aside for other persistent log buffers, such
+as kernel log messages, or for optional ECC error-correction data. The total
+size of these optional buffers must fit in the reserved region.
+
+Any remaining space will be used for a circular buffer of oops and panic
+records. These records have a configurable size, with a size of 0 indicating
+that they should be disabled.
+
+
+Required properties:
+
+- compatible: must be "ramoops"
+
+- memory-region: phandle to a region of memory that is preserved between reboots
+
+
+Optional properties:
+
+- ecc-size: enables ECC support and specifies ECC buffer size in bytes
+ (defaults to no ECC)
+
+- record-size: maximum size in bytes of each dump done on oops/panic
+ (defaults to 0)
+
+- console-size: size in bytes of log buffer reserved for kernel messages
+ (defaults to 0)
+
+- ftrace-size: size in bytes of log buffer reserved for function tracing and
+ profiling (defaults to 0)
+
+- pmsg-size: size in bytes of log buffer reserved for userspace messages
+ (defaults to 0)
+
+- unbuffered: if present, use unbuffered mappings to map the reserved region
+ (defaults to buffered mappings)
+
+- no-dump-oops: if present, only dump panics (defaults to panics and oops)
