commit e9a330c4289f2ba1ca4bf98c2b430ab165a8931b upstream.

The per-prz spinlock should be using the dynamic initializer so that
lockdep can correctly track it. Without this, under lockdep, we get a
warning at boot that the lock is in non-static memory.

commit 76d5692a58031696e282384cbd893832bc92bd76 upstream.

The ram backend wasn't always initializing its spinlock correctly. Since
it was coming from kzalloc memory, though, it was harmless on
architectures that initialize unlocked spinlocks to 0 (at least x86 and
ARM). This also fixes a possibly ignored flag setting too.

When running under CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK, the following Oops was visible:

commit 109704492ef637956265ec2eb72ae7b3b39eb6f4 upstream.

Currently pstore has a global spinlock for all zones. Since the zones
are independent and modify different areas of memory, there's no need
to have a global lock, so we should use a per-zone lock as introduced
here. Also, when ramoops's ftrace use-case has a FTRACE_PER_CPU flag
introduced later, which splits the ftrace memory area into a single zone
per CPU, it will eliminate the need for locking. In preparation for this,
make the locking optional.

commit 027bc8b08242c59e19356b4b2c189f2d849ab660 upstream.

On some ARMs the memory can be mapped pgprot_noncached() and still
be working for atomic operations. As pointed out by Colin Cross
&lt;ccross@android.com&gt;, in some cases you do want to use
pgprot_noncached() if the SoC supports it to see a debug printk
just before a write hanging the system.

On ARMs, the atomic operations on strongly ordered memory are
implementation defined. So let's provide an optional kernel parameter
for configuring pgprot_noncached(), and use pgprot_writecombine() by
default.

commit 7ae9cb81933515dc7db1aa3c47ef7653717e3090 upstream.

Currently trying to use pstore on at least ARMs can hang as we're
mapping the peristent RAM with pgprot_noncached().

On ARMs, pgprot_noncached() will actually make the memory strongly
ordered, and as the atomic operations pstore uses are implementation
defined for strongly ordered memory, they may not work. So basically
atomic operations have undefined behavior on ARM for device or strongly
ordered memory types.

Let's fix the issue by using write-combine variants for mappings. This
corresponds to normal, non-cacheable memory on ARM. For many other
architectures, this change does not change the mapping type as by
default we have:

#define pgprot_writecombine pgprot_noncached

The reason why pgprot_noncached() was originaly used for pstore
is because Colin Cross &lt;ccross@android.com&gt; had observed lost
debug prints right before a device hanging write operation on some
systems. For the platforms supporting pgprot_noncached(), we can
add a an optional configuration option to support that. But let's
get pstore working first before adding new features.

<title>pstore: Fix duplicate {console,ftrace}-efi entries</title>

The pstore filesystem still creates duplicate filename/inode pairs for
some pstore types.  Add the id to the filename to prevent that.

- Define pr_fmt in plateform.c and ram_core.c for global prefix.

- Coalesce format fragments.

- Separate format/arguments on lines &gt; 80 characters.

Note: Some pr_foo() were initially declared without prefix and therefore
this could break existing log analyzer.
