[PATCH v2 0/5] allow ramoops to collect all kmesg_dump events

[Pavel Tatashin]

pstore /mnt/console-ramoops-0 outputs only messages below the console
loglevel, and our console loglevel is set to 3 due to slowness of
serial console. Which means only errors and worse types of messages
are recorded. There is no way to have different log levels for
different consoles.

This patch series adds a new option to ramoops: max_reason that enables
it to collect kmdesg dumps for other reasons beside oops and panics.

How to quickly test:

virtme-run --mods=auto --kdir --mods=auto --kdir . \
	-a memmap=1G$8G -a ramoops.mem_address=0x200000000 \
	-a ramoops.mem_size=0x100000 -a ramoops.record_size=32768 \
	-a ramoops.max_reason=5 -a quiet --qemu-opts -m 8G
..
# reboot -f

After VM is back:

# mount -t pstore pstore /mnt
# head /mnt/dmesg-ramoops-0 
Restart#1 Part1
...
