Subject: [PATCH 1/6] pstore: Add console log messages support
Date: Wed, 16 May 2012 05:56:25 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120516125625.GA20475@lizard> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120516125330.GA15460@lizard>

Pstore doesn't support logging kernel messages in run-time, it only
dumps dmesg when kernel oopses/panics. This makes pstore useless for
debugging hangs caused by HW issues or improper use of HW (e.g.
weird device inserted -> driver tried to write a reserved bits ->
SoC hanged. In that case we don't get any messages in the pstore.

Therefore, let's add a runtime logging support: PSTORE_TYPE_CONSOLE.
