mainlining shenanigans
1df4289d5b
When the userspace tries to read the crashstate dump, the read side implementation in the driver currently ascii85 encodes all the binary buffers and it does this each time the read system call is called. A userspace tool like cat typically does a page by page read and the number of read calls depends on the size of the data captured by the driver. This is certainly not desirable and does not scale well with large captures. This patch encodes the buffer only once in the read path. With this there is an immediate >10X speed improvement in crashstate save time.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
