powerpc/powernv: Add a kmsg_dumper that flushes console output on panic
On BMC machines, console output is controlled by the OPAL firmware and is only flushed when its pollers are called. When the kernel is in a panic state, it no longer calls these pollers and thus console output does not completely flush, causing some output from the panic to be lost. Output is only actually lost when the kernel is configured to not power off or reboot after panic (i.e. CONFIG_PANIC_TIMEOUT is set to 0) since OPAL flushes the console buffer as part of its power down routines. Before this patch, however, only partial output would be printed during the timeout wait. This patch adds a new kmsg_dumper which gets called at panic time to ensure panic output is not lost. It accomplishes this by calling OPAL_CONSOLE_FLUSH in the OPAL API, and if that is not available, the pollers are called enough times to (hopefully) completely flush the buffer. The flushing mechanism will only affect output printed at and before the kmsg_dump call in kernel/panic.c:panic(). As such, the "end Kernel panic" message may still be truncated as follows: >Call Trace: >[c000000f1f603b00] [c0000000008e9458] dump_stack+0x90/0xbc (unreliable) >[c000000f1f603b30] [c0000000008e7e78] panic+0xf8/0x2c4 >[c000000f1f603bc0] [c000000000be4860] mount_block_root+0x288/0x33c >[c000000f1f603c80] [c000000000be4d14] prepare_namespace+0x1f4/0x254 >[c000000f1f603d00] [c000000000be43e8] kernel_init_freeable+0x318/0x350 >[c000000f1f603dc0] [c00000000000bd74] kernel_init+0x24/0x130 >[c000000f1f603e30] [c0000000000095b0] ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0xac >---[ end Kernel panic - not This functionality is implemented as a kmsg_dumper as it seems to be the most sensible way to introduce platform-specific functionality to the panic function.
