A secured user-space accessible pstore object. Writes to /dev/pmsg0 are appended to the buffer, on reboot the persistent contents are available in /sys/fs/pstore/pmsg-ramoops-[ID]. One possible use is syslogd, or other daemon, can write messages, then on reboot provides a means to triage user-space activities leading up to a panic as a companion to the pstore dmesg or console logs.

|
|
This option enables generic access to platform level
|
|
persistent storage via "pstore" filesystem that can
|
|
be mounted as /dev/pstore. Only useful if you have
|
|
a platform level driver that registers with pstore to
|
|
provide the data, so you probably should just go say "Y"
|
|
(or "M") to a platform specific persistent store driver
|
|
(e.g. ACPI_APEI on X86) which will select this for you.
|
|
If you don't have a platform persistent store driver,
|
|
say N.

When the option is enabled, pstore will export a character
|
|
interface /dev/pmsg0 to log user space messages. On reboot
|
|
data can be retrieved from /sys/fs/pstore/pmsg-ramoops-[ID].
|

If unsure, say N.

With this option kernel traces function calls into a persistent
|
|
ram buffer that can be decoded and dumped after reboot through
|
|
pstore filesystem. It can be used to determine what function
|
|
was last called before a reset or panic.

If unsure, say N.

This enables panic and oops messages to be logged to a circular
|
|
buffer in RAM where it can be read back at some later point.
