[PATCH 4.10 92/93] pstore: Fix flags to enable dumps on powerpc

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu May 18 2017 - 06:57:41 EST


4.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ankit Kumar <ankit@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 041939c1ec54208b42f5cd819209173d52a29d34 upstream.

After commit c950fd6f201a kernel registers pstore write based on flag set.
Pstore write for powerpc is broken as flags(PSTORE_FLAGS_DMESG) is not set for
powerpc architecture. On panic, kernel doesn't write message to
/fs/pstore/dmesg*(Entry doesn't gets created at all).

This patch enables pstore write for powerpc architecture by setting
PSTORE_FLAGS_DMESG flag.

Fixes: c950fd6f201a ("pstore: Split pstore fragile flags")
