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

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

[Greg Hackmann]

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)

I still think putting it into the pstore node would be better here.

Hi,

sorry for the late response.

I thought about the same patch at the end of last year but decided
against this for several reasons.

1) ramoops is a memory region, not hardware or any hardware description.

2) A suitable location for the ramoops depends on many factors. It is
not restricted to a specific board. For example the boot ROM of a SoC
may work differently for different boot mechanisms (usb, nand, SD-Card,
...) and may by accident overwrite the ramoops area given in the
devicetree.

3) Different bootloaders use the available memory differently which may
conflict with the definition in the devicetree and some data is placed
in memory before the devicetree is even accessible, for example if we
are running in sram before switching to a bootloader running in sdram.

These were the reasons why I decided to implement ramoops support in
the bootloader instead. The bootloader is the component that has
knowledge about used memory and it can inform other system components
(kernel) about the ramoops area. This way the ramoops area can be set
where it is not overwritten by any other component.

Best Regards,

Markus

How RAM is used is a hardware constraint especially when the bootROM
can't be changed.

That is fine. I could imagine wanting to read the ramoops in the
bootloader as well.

Your questioning is really about when you configure ramoops, not how.
I assume the how in your case is using the kernel command line.
Putting ramoops in DT is just the how it is communicated to the
kernel, not the when. The bootloader could just as easily setup the
ramoops node in DT rather than statically defining it in the dts. We
already have various properties that can be passed either way
(console, memory, CMA size, etc.) and are frequently setup by the
bootloader.

Also, the kernel command line should override whatever is in DT, so
your use would still work even if the DT had ramoops entry.

This seems to hardcode the size to 64-bit. It should probably be
controlled by #size-cells instead?

I actually doubt we'll want ramoops larger than 4GB anytime soon, so
it might make more sense to hardcode to 32, if anything.

Saying why it's invalid will make for happier developers trying to

^^^ This is wrong. You don't set drvdata until later. This crashes
(e.g.) the Pixel 2, which uses platform data, not DT.

You don't ever (properly) use drvdata, so this line is superfluous.
