But so far just factor it out and start using it in post_init().

pstore/ram: Should update old dmesg buffer before reading 2012-06-13T23:52:39+00:00 Anton Vorontsov anton.vorontsov@linaro.org 2012-05-26T13:07:49+00:00 201e4aca5aa179e6c69a4dcd36a3562e56b8d670 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.

ramoops: Move to fs/pstore/ram.c 2012-05-16T15:06:37+00:00 Anton Vorontsov anton.vorontsov@linaro.org 2012-05-16T12:43:08+00:00 1894a253db97059bc299b834b76f665bc6586b1d Since ramoops was converted to pstore, it has nothing to do with character devices nowadays. Instead, today it is just a RAM backend for pstore. The patch just moves things around. There are a few changes were needed because of the move: 1. Kconfig and Makefiles fixups, of course. 2. In pstore/ram.c we have to play a bit with MODULE_PARAM_PREFIX, this is needed to keep user experience the same as with ramoops driver (i.e. so that ramoops.foo kernel command line arguments would still work).
