    43

    KMSG_DUMP_KEXEC is useless because we already save kernel messages inside
    /proc/vmcore, and it is unsafe to allow modules to do other stuffs in a
    crash dump scenario.

  • ac5622418   kmsg_dump.h: fix build when CONFIG_PRINTK is disabled ... Browse Code »

    Fix when CONFIG_PRINTK is not enabled:

    include/linux/kmsg_dump.h:56: error: 'EINVAL' undeclared (first use in this function)
    include/linux/kmsg_dump.h:61: error: 'EINVAL' undeclared (first use in this function)

    Looks like commit 595dd3d8bf95 ("kmsg_dump: fix build for
    CONFIG_PRINTK=n") uses EINVAL without having the needed header file(s),
    but I'm sure that I build tested that patch also. oh well.

  • 04c6862c0   kmsg_dump: add kmsg_dump() calls to the reboot, halt, poweroff and emergency_restart paths ... Browse Code »
    43

    We need to know the reason why system rebooted in support service.
    However, we can't inform our customers of the reason because final
    messages are lost on current Linux kernel.

    This patch improves the situation above because the final messages are
    saved by adding kmsg_dump() to reboot, halt, poweroff and
    emergency_restart path.

  • 0f4bd46ec   kmsg_dump: Dump on crash_kexec as well ... Browse Code »

    crash_kexec gets called before kmsg_dump(KMSG_DUMP_OOPS) if
    panic_on_oops is set, so the kernel log buffer is not stored
    for this case.

    This patch adds a KMSG_DUMP_KEXEC dump type which gets called
    when crash_kexec() is invoked. To avoid getting double dumps,
    the old KMSG_DUMP_PANIC is moved below crash_kexec(). The
    mtdoops driver is modified to handle KMSG_DUMP_KEXEC in the
    same way as a panic.

    for the kmsg_dump*() functions when CONFIG_PRINTK=n.

  • 456b565cc   core: Add kernel message dumper to call on oopses and panics ... Browse Code »

    The core functionality is implemented as per Linus suggestion from

    http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2009-October/027620.html

    (with the kmsg_dump implementation by Linus). A struct kmsg_dumper has
    been added which contains a callback to dump the kernel log buffers on
    crashes. The kmsg_dump function gets called from oops_exit() and panic()
    and invokes this callbacks with the crash reason.
