pstore/ram: Write new dumps to start of recycled zones

2020-02-11T20:03:09+00:00

commit 9e5f1c19800b808a37fb9815a26d382132c26c3d upstream.

The ram_core.c routines treat przs as circular buffers. When writing a
new crash dump, the old buffer needs to be cleared so that the new dump
doesn't end up in the wrong place (i.e. at the end).

The solution to this problem is to reset the circular buffer state before
writing a new Oops dump.

pstore/ram: Fix failure-path memory leak in ramoops_init

2018-12-16T22:09:31+00:00

commit bac6f6cda206ad7cbe0c73c35e494377ce9c4749 upstream.

As reported by nixiaoming, with some minor clarifications:

1) memory leak in ramoops_register_dummy():
   dummy_data = kzalloc(sizeof(*dummy_data), GFP_KERNEL);
   but no kfree() if platform_device_register_data() fails.

2) memory leak in ramoops_init():
   Missing platform_device_unregister(dummy) and kfree(dummy_data)
   if platform_driver_register(&ramoops_driver) fails.

I've clarified the purpose of ramoops_register_dummy(), and added a
common cleanup routine for all three failure paths to call.

pstore: Fix incorrect persistent ram buffer mapping

2018-12-16T22:09:18+00:00

commit 831b624df1b420c8f9281ed1307a8db23afb72df upstream.

persistent_ram_vmap() returns the page start vaddr.
persistent_ram_iomap() supports non-page-aligned mapping.

persistent_ram_buffer_map() always adds offset-in-page to the vaddr
returned from these two functions, which causes incorrect mapping of
non-page-aligned persistent ram buffer.

By default ftrace_size is 4096 and max_ftrace_cnt is nr_cpu_ids. Without
this patch, the zone_sz in ramoops_init_przs() is 4096/nr_cpu_ids which
might not be page aligned. If the offset-in-page > 2048, the vaddr will be
in next page. If the next page is not mapped, it will cause kernel panic:

pstore/ram: Use memcpy_fromio() to save old buffer

2017-02-23T03:53:59+00:00

commit d771fdf94180de2bd811ac90cba75f0f346abf8d upstream.

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.

pstore/ram: Use memcpy_toio instead of memcpy

2017-02-23T03:53:58+00:00

commit 7e75678d23167c2527e655658a8ef36a36c8b4d9 upstream.

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.

pstore/core: drop cmpxchg based updates

2017-02-23T03:53:58+00:00

commit d5a9bf0b38d2ac85c9a693c7fb851f74fd2a2494 upstream.

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.

pstore-ram: Allow optional mapping with pgprot_noncached

2015-01-15T10:43:58+00:00

commit 027bc8b08242c59e19356b4b2c189f2d849ab660 upstream.

On some ARMs the memory can be mapped pgprot_noncached() and still
be working for atomic operations. As pointed out by Colin Cross
, 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.

pstore-ram: Fix hangs by using write-combine mappings

2015-01-15T10:43:57+00:00

commit 7ae9cb81933515dc7db1aa3c47ef7653717e3090 upstream.

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  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.

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

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.
