pstore: Fix duplicate {console,ftrace}-efi entries

2014-11-13T18:02:18Z

commit d4bf205da618bbd0b038e404d646f14e76915718 upstream. The pstore filesystem still creates duplicate filename/inode pairs for some pstore types. Add the id to the filename to prevent that. Before patch: [/sys/fs/pstore] ls -li total 0 1250 -r--r--r--. 1 root root 67 Sep 29 17:09 console-efi 1250 -r--r--r--. 1 root root 67 Sep 29 17:09 console-efi 1250 -r--r--r--. 1 root root 67 Sep 29 17:09 console-efi 1250 -r--r--r--. 1 root root 67 Sep 29 17:09 console-efi 1250 -r--r--r--. 1 root root 67 Sep 29 17:09 console-efi 1250 -r--r--r--. 1 root root 67 Sep 29 17:09 console-efi 1250 -r--r--r--. 1 root root 67 Sep 29 17:09 console-efi 1250 -r--r--r--. 1 root root 67 Sep 29 17:09 console-efi 1250 -r--r--r--. 1 root root 67 Sep 29 17:09 console-efi After: [/sys/fs/pstore] ls -li total 0 1232 -r--r--r--. 1 root root 148 Sep 29 17:09 console-efi-141202499100000 1231 -r--r--r--. 1 root root 67 Sep 29 17:09 console-efi-141202499200000 1230 -r--r--r--. 1 root root 148 Sep 29 17:44 console-efi-141202705400000 1229 -r--r--r--. 1 root root 67 Sep 29 17:44 console-efi-141202705500000 1228 -r--r--r--. 1 root root 67 Sep 29 20:42 console-efi-141203772600000 1227 -r--r--r--. 1 root root 148 Sep 29 23:42 console-efi-141204854900000 1226 -r--r--r--. 1 root root 67 Sep 29 23:42 console-efi-141204855000000 1225 -r--r--r--. 1 root root 148 Sep 29 23:59 console-efi-141204954200000 1224 -r--r--r--. 1 root root 67 Sep 29 23:59 console-efi-141204954400000 Signed-off-by: Valdis Kletnieks Acked-by: Kees Cook Signed-off-by: Tony Luck Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby

pstore: Add file extension to pstore file if compressed

2013-08-19T18:53:27Z

In case decompression fails, add a ".enc.z" to indicate the file has compressed data. This will help user space utilities to figure out the file contents. Signed-off-by: Aruna Balakrishnaiah Reviewed-by: Kees Cook Signed-off-by: Tony Luck

pstore: d_alloc_name() doesn't return an ERR_PTR

d_alloc_name() returns NULL on error. Also I changed the error code from -ENOSPC to -ENOMEM to reflect that we were short on RAM not disk space. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter Acked-by: Kees Cook Signed-off-by: Tony Luck

Merge branch 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc

2013-07-04T17:29:23Z

Pull powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt: "This is the powerpc changes for the 3.11 merge window. In addition to the usual bug fixes and small updates, the main highlights are: - Support for transparent huge pages by Aneesh Kumar for 64-bit server processors. This allows the use of 16M pages as transparent huge pages on kernels compiled with a 64K base page size. - Base VFIO support for KVM on power by Alexey Kardashevskiy - Wiring up of our nvram to the pstore infrastructure, including putting compressed oopses in there by Aruna Balakrishnaiah - Move, rework and improve our "EEH" (basically PCI error handling and recovery) infrastructure. It is no longer specific to pseries but is now usable by the new "powernv" platform as well (no hypervisor) by Gavin Shan. - I fixed some bugs in our math-emu instruction decoding and made it usable to emulate some optional FP instructions on processors with hard FP that lack them (such as fsqrt on Freescale embedded processors). - Support for Power8 "Event Based Branch" facility by Michael Ellerman. This facility allows what is basically "userspace interrupts" for performance monitor events. - A bunch of Transactional Memory vs. Signals bug fixes and HW breakpoint/watchpoint fixes by Michael Neuling. And more ... I appologize in advance if I've failed to highlight something that somebody deemed worth it." * 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc: (156 commits) pstore: Add hsize argument in write_buf call of pstore_ftrace_call powerpc/fsl: add MPIC timer wakeup support powerpc/mpic: create mpic subsystem object powerpc/mpic: add global timer support powerpc/mpic: add irq_set_wake support powerpc/85xx: enable coreint for all the 64bit boards powerpc/8xx: Erroneous double irq_eoi() on CPM IRQ in MPC8xx powerpc/fsl: Enable CONFIG_E1000E in mpc85xx_smp_defconfig powerpc/mpic: Add get_version API both for internal and external use powerpc: Handle both new style and old style reserve maps powerpc/hw_brk: Fix off by one error when validating DAWR region end powerpc/pseries: Support compression of oops text via pstore powerpc/pseries: Re-organise the oops compression code pstore: Pass header size in the pstore write callback powerpc/powernv: Fix iommu initialization again powerpc/pseries: Inform the hypervisor we are using EBB regs powerpc/perf: Add power8 EBB support powerpc/perf: Core EBB support for 64-bit book3s powerpc/perf: Drop MMCRA from thread_struct powerpc/perf: Don't enable if we have zero events ...

pstore: Fail to unlink if a driver has not defined pstore_erase

2013-06-25T17:04:38Z

pstore_erase is used to erase the record from the persistent store. So if a driver has not defined pstore_erase callback return -EPERM instead of unlinking a file as deleting the file without erasing its record in persistent store will give a wrong impression to customers.

pstore: Create a convenient mount point for pstore

2013-02-12T21:07:22Z

Using /dev/pstore as a mount point for the pstore filesystem is slightly awkward. We don't normally mount filesystems in /dev/ and the /dev/pstore file isn't created automatically by anything. While this method will still work, we can create a persistent mount point in sysfs. This will put pstore on par with things like cgroups and efivarfs.
