[PATCH v5 0/2] Move recovery/coredump configuration to sysfs

[PATCH v5 0/2] Move recovery/coredump configuration to sysfs

[Rishabh Bhatnagar]

From Android R onwards Google has restricted access to debugfs in user
and user-debug builds. This restricts access to most of the features
exposed through debugfs. This patch series removes the recovery/coredump
entries from debugfs and moves them to sysfs. 
'Coredump' and 'Recovery' are critical interfaces that are required
for remoteproc to work on Qualcomm Chipsets. Coredump configuration
needs to be set to "inline" in debug/test build and "disabled" in
production builds. Whereas recovery needs to be "disabled" for
debugging purposes and "enabled" on production builds.

Changelog:

v5 -> v4:
- Fix the cover-letter of tha patch series.

v4 -> v3:
- Remove the feature flag to expose recovery/coredump

v3 -> v2:
- Remove the coredump/recovery entries from debugfs
- Expose recovery/coredump from sysfs under a feature flag

v1 -> v2:
- Correct the contact name in the sysfs documentation.
- Remove the redundant write documentation for coredump/recovery sysfs
- Add a feature flag to make this interface switch configurable.

As pointed out by Sibi (somewhere) this should be "disabled" to match
what's returned in coredump_show() and what goes into the recovery
file.

As I pointed out in a previous review, I think it makes sense to change
the default for dump_conf to "disabled" (a separate change). But in
doing so using the word "default" in the sysfs interface would be
misleading - and once it's part of sysfs it stays.

So how about changing this to "enabled"?

PS. The change of the default value of dump_conf would, in line with
Mathieu's ask, be a separate/unrelated change.

Bjorn
