| 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. |

| config PSTORE_CONSOLE |

| depends on PSTORE |
| help |
| When the option is enabled, pstore will log all kernel |
| messages, even if no oops or panic happened. |
| |
| config PSTORE_PMSG |
| bool "Log user space messages" |
| depends on PSTORE |
| help |
| 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. |
| |
| config PSTORE_FTRACE |
| bool "Persistent function tracer" |
| depends on PSTORE |
| depends on FUNCTION_TRACER |
| depends on DEBUG_FS |
| help |
| 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. |

| help |
| 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". |
