* ABI: Fix KernelVersion tagsMauro Carvalho Chehab2019-06-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | It is "KernelVersion:" and not "Kernel Version:". Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+samsung@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
* ABI: fix some syntax issues at the ABI databaseMauro Carvalho Chehab2019-06-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On those three files, the ABI representation described at README are violated. - at sysfs-bus-iio-proximity-as3935: a ':' character is missing after "What" - at sysfs-class-devfreq: there's a typo at Description - at sysfs-class-cxl, it is using the ":" character at a file preamble, causing it to be misinterpreted as a tag. - On the other files, instead of "What", they use "Where".

* pstore: Create a convenient mount point for pstoreJosh Boyer2013-02-121-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | Using /dev/pstore as a mount point for the pstore filesystem is slightly awkward. We don't normally mount filesystems in /dev/ and the /dev/pstore file isn't created automatically by anything. While this method will still work, we can create a persistent mount point in sysfs. This will put pstore on par with things like cgroups and efivarfs.

* pstore: Allow the user to explicitly choose a backendMatthew Garrett2011-07-221-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | pstore only allows one backend to be registered at present, but the system may provide several. Add a parameter to allow the user to choose which backend will be used rather than just relying on load order.

* pstore: use mount option instead sysfs to tweak kmsg_bytesLuck, Tony2011-03-211-3/+9
| | | | | | | | | /sys/fs is a somewhat strange way to tweak what could more obviously be tuned with a mount option. Suggested-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* pstore: new filesystem interface to platform persistent storageTony Luck2010-12-281-0/+35
Some platforms have a small amount of non-volatile storage that can be used to store information useful to diagnose the cause of a system crash. This is the generic part of a file system interface that presents information from the crash as a series of files in /dev/pstore. Once the information has been seen, the underlying storage is freed by deleting the files. Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
