Leaving granularity at 1ns because it is dependent on the specific
attached backing pstore module. ramoops has microsecond resolution.

Fix the readback of ramoops fractional timestamp microseconds,
which has incorrectly been reporting the value as nanoseconds.

Fixes: 3f8f80f0cfeb ("pstore/ram: Read and write to the 'compressed' flag of pstore").

<title>pstore: Fix double-free in pstore_mkfile() failure path</title>

<content type='text'>
The pstore_mkfile() function is passed a pointer to a struct
pstore_record. On success it consumes this 'record' pointer and
references it from the created inode.

On failure, however, it may or may not free the record. There are even
two different code paths which return -ENOMEM -- one of which does and
the other doesn't free the record.

Make the behaviour deterministic by never consuming and freeing the
record when returning failure, allowing the caller to do the cleanup
consistently.

When calling debugfs functions, there is no need to ever check the
return value.  The function can work or not, but the code logic should
never do something different based on this.

<title>pstore/ram: Improve backward compatibility with older Chromebooks</title>

When you try to run an upstream kernel on an old ARM-based Chromebook
you'll find that console-ramoops doesn't work.

Old ARM-based Chromebooks, before &lt;https://crrev.com/c/439792&gt;
("ramoops: support upstream {console,pmsg,ftrace}-size properties")
used to create a "ramoops" node at the top level that looked like:

/ {
  ramoops {
    compatible = "ramoops";
    reg = &lt;...&gt;;
    record-size = &lt;...&gt;;
    dump-oops;
  };
};

...and these Chromebooks assumed that the downstream kernel would make
console_size / pmsg_size match the record size.  The above ramoops
node was added by the firmware so it's not easy to make any changes.

Let's match the expected behavior, but only for those using the old
backward-compatible way of working where ramoops is right under the
root node.

NOTE: if there are some out-of-tree devices that had ramoops at the
top level, left everything but the record size as 0, and somehow
doesn't want this behavior, we can try to add more conditions here.

 "Another round of SPDX header file fixes for 5.2-rc4

  These are all more "GPL-2.0-or-later" or "GPL-2.0-only" tags being
  added, based on the text in the files. We are slowly chipping away at
  the 700+ different ways people tried to write the license text. All of
  these were reviewed on the spdx mailing list by a number of different
  people.

  We now have over 60% of the kernel files covered with SPDX tags:

	Files with SPDX:          40392
	Files with errors:            0

  I think the majority of the "easy" fixups are now done, it's now the
  start of the longer-tail of crazy variants to wade through"

The ram pstore backend has always had the crash dumper frontend enabled
unconditionally. However, it was possible to effectively disable it
by setting a record_size=0. All the machinery would run (storing dumps
to the temporary crash buffer), but 0 bytes would ultimately get stored
due to there being no przs allocated for dumps. Commit 89d328f637b9
("pstore/ram: Correctly calculate usable PRZ bytes"), however, assumed
that there would always be at least one allocated dprz for calculating
the size of the temporary crash buffer. This was, of course, not the
case when record_size=0, and would lead to a NULL deref trying to find
the dprz buffer size:

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
...
IP: ramoops_probe+0x285/0x37e (fs/pstore/ram.c:808)

        cxt-&gt;pstore.bufsize = cxt-&gt;dprzs[0]-&gt;buffer_size;

Instead, we need to only enable the frontends based on the success of the
prz initialization and only take the needed actions when those zones are
available. (This also fixes a possible error in detecting if the ftrace
frontend should be enabled.)
