Randy Dunlap ac5622418b kmsg_dump.h: fix build when CONFIG_PRINTK is disabled
Fix <linux/kmsg_dump.h> when CONFIG_PRINTK is not enabled:

  include/linux/kmsg_dump.h:56: error: 'EINVAL' undeclared (first use in this function)
  include/linux/kmsg_dump.h:61: error: 'EINVAL' undeclared (first use in this function)

Looks like commit 595dd3d8bf ("kmsg_dump: fix build for
CONFIG_PRINTK=n") uses EINVAL without having the needed header file(s),
but I'm sure that I build tested that patch also.  oh well.

Seiji Aguchi 04c6862c05 kmsg_dump: add kmsg_dump() calls to the reboot, halt, poweroff and emergency_restart paths
We need to know the reason why system rebooted in support service.
However, we can't inform our customers of the reason because final
messages are lost on current Linux kernel.

This patch improves the situation above because the final messages are
saved by adding kmsg_dump() to reboot, halt, poweroff and
emergency_restart path.

KOSAKI Motohiro 0f4bd46ec2 kmsg_dump: Dump on crash_kexec as well
crash_kexec gets called before kmsg_dump(KMSG_DUMP_OOPS) if
panic_on_oops is set, so the kernel log buffer is not stored
for this case.

This patch adds a KMSG_DUMP_KEXEC dump type which gets called
when crash_kexec() is invoked. To avoid getting double dumps,
the old KMSG_DUMP_PANIC is moved below crash_kexec(). The
mtdoops driver is modified to handle KMSG_DUMP_KEXEC in the
same way as a panic.

Simon Kagstrom 456b565cc5 core: Add kernel message dumper to call on oopses and panics
The core functionality is implemented as per Linus suggestion from

  http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2009-October/027620.html

(with the kmsg_dump implementation by Linus). A struct kmsg_dumper has
been added which contains a callback to dump the kernel log buffers on
crashes. The kmsg_dump function gets called from oops_exit() and panic()
and invokes this callbacks with the crash reason.
