e9a330c428 pstore: Use dynamic spinlock initializer
The per-prz spinlock should be using the dynamic initializer so that
lockdep can correctly track it. Without this, under lockdep, we get a
warning at boot that the lock is in non-static memory.

76d5692a58 pstore: Correctly initialize spinlock and flags
The ram backend wasn't always initializing its spinlock correctly. Since
it was coming from kzalloc memory, though, it was harmless on
architectures that initialize unlocked spinlocks to 0 (at least x86 and
ARM). This also fixes a possibly ignored flag setting too.

When running under CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK, the following Oops was visible:

109704492e pstore: Make spinlock per zone instead of global
Currently pstore has a global spinlock for all zones. Since the zones
are independent and modify different areas of memory, there's no need
to have a global lock, so we should use a per-zone lock as introduced
here. Also, when ramoops's ftrace use-case has a FTRACE_PER_CPU flag
introduced later, which splits the ftrace memory area into a single zone
per CPU, it will eliminate the need for locking. In preparation for this,
make the locking optional.

d771fdf941 pstore/ram: Use memcpy_fromio() to save old buffer
The ramoops buffer may be mapped as either I/O memory or uncached
memory.  On ARM64, this results in a device-type (strongly-ordered)
mapping.  Since unnaligned accesses to device-type memory will
generate an alignment fault (regardless of whether or not strict
alignment checking is enabled), it is not safe to use memcpy().
memcpy_fromio() is guaranteed to only use aligned accesses, so use
that instead.

7e75678d23 pstore/ram: Use memcpy_toio instead of memcpy
persistent_ram_update uses vmap / iomap based on whether the buffer is in
memory region or reserved region. However, both map it as non-cacheable
memory. For armv8 specifically, non-cacheable mapping requests use a
memory type that has to be accessed aligned to the request size. memcpy()
doesn't guarantee that.

5bf6d1b927 pstore/pmsg: drop bounce buffer
Removing a bounce buffer copy operation in the pmsg driver path is
always better. We also gain in overall performance by not requesting
a vmalloc on every write as this can cause precious RT tasks, such
as user facing media operation, to stall while memory is being
reclaimed. Added a write_buf_user to the pstore functions, a backup
platform write_buf_user that uses the small buffer that is part of
the instance, and implemented a ramoops write_buf_user that only
supports PSTORE_TYPE_PMSG.

d5a9bf0b38 pstore/core: drop cmpxchg based updates
I have here a FPGA behind PCIe which exports SRAM which I use for
pstore. Now it seems that the FPGA no longer supports cmpxchg based
updates and writes back 0xff…ff and returns the same.  This leads to
crash during crash rendering pstore useless.
Since I doubt that there is much benefit from using cmpxchg() here, I am
dropping this atomic access and use the spinlock based version.

027bc8b082 pstore-ram: Allow optional mapping with pgprot_noncached
On some ARMs the memory can be mapped pgprot_noncached() and still
be working for atomic operations. As pointed out by Colin Cross
<ccross@android.com>, in some cases you do want to use
pgprot_noncached() if the SoC supports it to see a debug printk
just before a write hanging the system.

On ARMs, the atomic operations on strongly ordered memory are
implementation defined. So let's provide an optional kernel parameter
for configuring pgprot_noncached(), and use pgprot_writecombine() by
default.

7ae9cb8193 pstore-ram: Fix hangs by using write-combine mappings
Currently trying to use pstore on at least ARMs can hang as we're
mapping the peristent RAM with pgprot_noncached().

On ARMs, pgprot_noncached() will actually make the memory strongly
ordered, and as the atomic operations pstore uses are implementation
defined for strongly ordered memory, they may not work. So basically
atomic operations have undefined behavior on ARM for device or strongly
ordered memory types.

Let's fix the issue by using write-combine variants for mappings. This
corresponds to normal, non-cacheable memory on ARM. For many other
architectures, this change does not change the mapping type as by
default we have:

#define pgprot_writecombine pgprot_noncached

The reason why pgprot_noncached() was originaly used for pstore
is because Colin Cross <ccross@android.com> had observed lost
debug prints right before a device hanging write operation on some
systems. For the platforms supporting pgprot_noncached(), we can
add a an optional configuration option to support that. But let's
get pstore working first before adding new features.

cbe7cbf5a6 pstore/ram: Make tracing log versioned
Decoding the binary trace w/ a different kernel might be troublesome
since we convert addresses to symbols. For kernels with minimal changes,
the mappings would probably match, but it's not guaranteed at all.
(But still we could convert the addresses by hand, since we do print
raw addresses.)

If we use modules, the symbols could be loaded at different addresses
from the previously booted kernel, and so this would also fail, but
there's nothing we can do about it.

Also, the binary data format that pstore/ram is using in its ringbuffer
may change between the kernels, so here we too must ensure that we're
running the same kernel.

So, there are two questions really:

1. How to compute the unique kernel tag;
2. Where to store it.

In this patch we're using LINUX_VERSION_CODE, just as hibernation
(suspend-to-disk) does. This way we are protecting from the kernel
version mismatch, making sure that we're running the same kernel
version and patch level. We could use CRC of a symbol table (as
suggested by Tony Luck), but for now let's not be that strict.

And as for storing, we are using a small trick here. Instead of
allocating a dedicated buffer for the tag (i.e. another prz), or
hacking ram_core routines to "reserve" some control data in the
buffer, we are just encoding the tag into the buffer signature
(and XOR'ing it with the actual signature value, so that buffers
not needing a tag can just pass zero, which will result into the
plain old PRZ signature).

924d37118f pstore/ram: Probe as early as possible
Registering the platform driver before module_init allows us to log oopses
that happen during device probing.

This requires changing module_init to postcore_initcall, and switching
from platform_driver_probe to platform_driver_register because the
platform device is not registered when the platform driver is registered;
and because we use driver_register, now can't use create_bundle() (since
it will try to register the same driver once again), so we have to switch
to platform_device_register_data().

Also, some __init -> __devinit changes were needed.

Overall, the registration logic is now much clearer, since we have only
one driver registration point, and just an optional dummy device, which
is created from the module parameters.

We do print total mapped memory already, so no need to print the
information for each region in the library routines.

fce3979304 pstore/ram_core: Factor persistent_ram_zap() out of post_init()
A handy function that we will use outside of ram_core soon. But
so far just factor it out and start using it in post_init().

25b63da647 pstore/ram_core: Do not reset restored zone's position and size
Otherwise, the files will survive just one reboot, and on a subsequent
boot they will disappear.

201e4aca5a pstore/ram: Should update old dmesg buffer before reading
Without the update, we'll only see the new dmesg buffer after the
reboot, but previously we could see it right away. Making an oops
visible in pstore filesystem before reboot is a somewhat dubious
feature, but removing it wasn't an intentional change, so let's
restore it.

For this we have to make persistent_ram_save_old() safe for calling
multiple times, and also extern it.

cddb8751c8 staging: android: persistent_ram: Move to fs/pstore/ram_core.c
This is a first step for adding ECC support for pstore RAM backend: we
will use the persistent_ram routines, kindly provided by Google.

Basically, persistent_ram is a set of helper routines to deal with the
[optionally] ECC-protected persistent ram regions.

A bit of Makefile, Kconfig and header files adjustments were needed
because of the move.
