[PATCH v4 00/12] pstore: mtd: support crash log to block and mtd device

[Kees Cook]

Hi!

This is a v4 of WeiXiong Liao's series. I spent time porting this on top
of the latest pstore (mainly to support max_reason), and I started making
various other changes, mostly just bikeshed stuff.

Changes since v3:
	fixing up various typos, alternate phrases, and language. For
	example:
	        recorder -> frontend
	        Pstore -> pstore

	filenames:
	        rename pstore_*.c -> *.c and adjust Makefile
		(I decided fs/pstore/pstore_zone.c repeated "pstore" one too many time. ;)
		pstore-block.rst -> pstore_blk.rst

	conversion of dump_oops -> max_reason

	refactor/rename get_reason_str() and move to kernel/printk/printk.c

	psz* -> pstore_zone* renamings:
	        psblk_usr_info() ->... pstore_blk_usr_info()
	        psz_zone -> pstore_zone
	        pszinfo -> pstore_zone_info

	register_pstore_zone():
	        registration reporting via pr_cont(), with max_reason
	        remove needless get/put_module()

	public API renamings: VERB_NOUN()
	        psz_*register() -> *register_pstore_zone()

v3: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1585126506-18635-1-git-send-email-liaoweixiong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1581078355-19647-1-git-send-email-liaoweixiong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1579482233-2672-1-git-send-email-liaoweixiong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

So far, I've identified the following stuff left to do:
        - settle on various function/struct renamings
        - review locking
        - implement ramoops-like probe feature for pstore/blk
	- spend time seeing how ramoops might use pstore/zone

But I wanted to get this update published just to show what I've done
so far in my bikeshed review. :)

Thanks!
