1Ramoops oops/panic logger
2=========================
3
4ramoops provides persistent RAM storage for oops and panics, so they can be
5recovered after a reboot. This is a child-node of "/reserved-memory", and
6is named "ramoops" after the backend, rather than "pstore" which is the
7subsystem.
8
9Parts of this storage may be set aside for other persistent log buffers, such
10as kernel log messages, or for optional ECC error-correction data.  The total
11size of these optional buffers must fit in the reserved region.
12
13Any remaining space will be used for a circular buffer of oops and panic
14records.  These records have a configurable size, with a size of 0 indicating
15that they should be disabled.
16
17At least one of "record-size", "console-size", "ftrace-size", or "pmsg-size"
18must be set non-zero, but are otherwise optional as listed below.

21Required properties:
22
23- compatible: must be "ramoops"
24
25- reg: region of memory that is preserved between reboots
26
27
28Optional properties:
29
30- ecc-size: enables ECC support and specifies ECC buffer size in bytes
31  (defaults to 0: no ECC)
32
33- record-size: maximum size in bytes of each dump done on oops/panic
34  (defaults to 0: disabled)
35
36- console-size: size in bytes of log buffer reserved for kernel messages
37  (defaults to 0: disabled)
38
39- ftrace-size: size in bytes of log buffer reserved for function tracing and
40  profiling (defaults to 0: disabled)
41
42- pmsg-size: size in bytes of log buffer reserved for userspace messages
43  (defaults to 0: disabled)
44
45- unbuffered: if present, use unbuffered mappings to map the reserved region
46  (defaults to buffered mappings)
47
48- no-dump-oops: if present, only dump panics (defaults to panics and oops)
49
50- flags: if present, pass ramoops behavioral flags (defaults to 0,
51  see include/linux/pstore_ram.h RAMOOPS_FLAG_* for flag values).
