When building a kernel with CONFIG_PSTORE=y and CONFIG_CRYPTO not set,
a build error happens:
ld: fs/pstore/platform.o: in function `pstore_dump':
platform.c:(.text+0x3f9): undefined reference to `crypto_comp_compress'
ld: fs/pstore/platform.o: in function `pstore_get_backend_records':
platform.c:(.text+0x784): undefined reference to `crypto_comp_decompress'
This because some pstore code uses crypto_comp_(de)compress regardless
of the CONFIG_CRYPTO status. Fix it by wrapping the (de)compress usage
by IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PSTORE_COMPRESS)

In order to use arbitrary block devices as a pstore backend, provide a
new module param named "best_effort", which will allow using any block
device, even if it has not provided a panic_write callback.

Add support for non-block devices (e.g. MTD). A non-block driver calls
pstore_blk_register_device() to register iself.
In addition, pstore/zone is updated to handle non-block devices,
where an erase must be done before a write. Without this, there is no
way to remove records stored to an MTD.

One requirement to support MTD devices in pstore/zone is having a
way to declare certain regions as broken. Add this support to
pstore/zone.
The MTD driver should return -ENOMSG when encountering a bad region,
which tells pstore/zone to skip and try the next one.

pstore/blk is similar to pstore/ram, but uses a block device as the
storage rather than persistent ram.
The pstore/blk backend solves two common use-cases that used to preclude
using pstore/ram:
- not all devices have a battery that could be used to persist
regular RAM across power failures.
- most embedded intelligent equipment have no persistent ram, which
increases costs, instead preferring cheaper solutions, like block
devices.
pstore/blk provides separate configurations for the end user and for the
block drivers. User configuration determines how pstore/blk operates, such
as record sizes, max kmsg dump reasons, etc. These can be set by Kconfig
and/or module parameters, but module parameter have priority over Kconfig.
Driver configuration covers all the details about the target block device,
such as total size of the device and how to perform read/write operations.
These are provided by block drivers, calling pstore_register_blkdev(),
including an optional panic_write callback used to bypass regular IO
APIs in an effort to avoid potentially destabilized kernel code during
a panic.

Now that pstore_register() can correctly pass max_reason to the kmesg
dump facility, introduce a new "max_reason" module parameter and
"max-reason" Device Tree field.
The "dump_oops" module parameter and "dump-oops" Device
Tree field are now considered deprecated, but are now automatically
converted to their corresponding max_reason values when present, though
the new max_reason setting has precedence.
For struct ramoops_platform_data, the "dump_oops" member is entirely
replaced by a new "max_reason" member, with the only existing user
updated in place.
Additionally remove the "reason" filter logic from ramoops_pstore_write(),
as that is not specifically needed anymore, though technically
this is a change in behavior for any ramoops users also setting the
printk.always_kmsg_dump boot param, which will cause ramoops to behave as
if max_reason was set to KMSG_DUMP_MAX.

Add a new member to struct pstore_info for passing information about
kmesg dump maximum reason. This allows a finer control of what kmesg
dumps are sent to pstore storage backends.
Those backends that do not explicitly set this field (keeping it equal to
0), get the default behavior: store only Oopses and Panics, or everything
if the printk.always_kmsg_dump boot param is set.

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

In Aug 2018 NeilBrown noticed
commit 1f4aace60b0e ("fs/seq_file.c: simplify seq_file iteration code and interface")
"Some ->next functions do not increment *pos when they return NULL...
Note that such ->next functions are buggy and should be fixed.
A simple demonstration is
dd if=/proc/swaps bs=1000 skip=1
Choose any block size larger than the size of /proc/swaps. This will
always show the whole last line of /proc/swaps"
/proc/swaps output was fixed recently, however there are lot of other
affected files, and one of them is related to pstore subsystem.
If .next function does not change position index, following .show function
will repeat output related to current position index.
There are at least 2 related problems:
- read after lseek beyond end of file, described above by NeilBrown
"dd if=<AFFECTED_FILE> bs=1000 skip=1" will generate whole last list
- read after lseek on in middle of last line will output expected rest of
last line but then repeat whole last line once again.
If .show() function generates multy-line output (like
pstore_ftrace_seq_show() does ?) following bash script cycles endlessly
$ q=;while read -r r;do echo "$((++q)) $r";done < AFFECTED_FILE
Unfortunately I'm not familiar enough to pstore subsystem and was unable
to find affected pstore-related file on my test node.
If .next function does not change position index, following .show function
will repeat output related to current position index.

In my attempt to fix a memory leak, I introduced a double-free in the
pstore error path. Instead of trying to manage the allocation lifetime
between persistent_ram_new() and its callers, adjust the logic so
persistent_ram_new() always takes a kstrdup() copy, and leaves the
caller's allocation lifetime up to the caller. Therefore callers are
_always_ responsible for freeing their label. Before, it only needed
freeing when the prz itself failed to allocate, and not in any of the
other prz failure cases, which callers would have no visibility into,
which is the root design problem that lead to both the leak and now
double-free bugs.

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.

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 <https://crrev.com/c/439792>
("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 = <...>;
record-size = <...>;
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.

Pull yet more SPDX updates from Greg KH:
"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:
$ ./scripts/spdxcheck.py -v 2>&1 | grep Files
Files checked: 64533
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"
