help
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 log all kernel
messages, even if no oops or panic happened.

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.

pstore/ftrace: Convert to its own enable/disable debugfs knob
With this patch we no longer reuse function tracer infrastructure, now
we register our own tracer back-end via a debugfs knob.
It's a bit more code, but that is the only downside. On the bright side we
have:
- Ability to make persistent_ram module removable (when needed, we can
move ftrace_ops struct into a module). Note that persistent_ram is still
not removable for other reasons, but with this patch it's just one
thing less to worry about;
- Pstore part is more isolated from the generic function tracer. We tried
it already by registering our own tracer in available_tracers, but that
way we're loosing ability to see the traces while we record them to
pstore. This solution is somewhere in the middle: we only register
"internal ftracer" back-end, but not the "front-end";
- When there is only pstore tracing enabled, the kernel will only write
to the pstore buffer, omitting function tracer buffer (which, of course,
still can be enabled via 'echo function > current_tracer').

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.
Note that for historical reasons, the module will be named
"ramoops.ko".
