->fail_addr and ->addr can be updated no matter the result of
parent->_erase(), we just need to remove the code doing the same thing
in mtd_erase_callback() to avoid adjusting those fields twice.
Note that this can be done because all MTD users have been converted to
not pass an erase_info->callback() and are thus only taking the
->addr_fail and ->addr fields into account after part_erase() has
returned.
While we're at it, get rid of the erase_info->mtd field which was only
needed to let mtd_erase_callback() get the partition device back.

None of the mtd->_erase() implementations work in an asynchronous manner,
so let's simplify MTD users that call mtd_erase(). All they need to do
is check the value returned by mtd_erase() and assume that != 0 means
failure.

The current version on mtdoops erase first block of mtdoops partition at each
boot if there is no oops stored in flash. This can wear the flash.
When mtdoops start, find_next_position is called to find the next free entry in
the circular buffer. But if the flash is erased, find_next_position don't find
anything (maxcount == 0xffffffff) and start with the first entry after erasing it.
The scanning that is done in find_next_position already track free/used entries.
So if at the end of the scanning we don't find anything, we can start at the
first entry and erased the entry only if it is marked as used.
Most of this is implemented in mtdoops_inc_counter, so to avoid duplicating
code, if we don't find anything we set position to -1. mtdoops_inc_counter with
increment it, erase the entry if needed and start as before with nextpage = 0
and nextcount = 1).
Also during the scan phase, we use the MTDOOPS_KERNMSG_MAGIC to detect corruped
entries.

flush[_delayed]_work_sync() are now spurious. Mark them deprecated
and convert all users to flush[_delayed]_work().
If you're cc'd and wondering what's going on: Now all workqueues are
non-reentrant and the regular flushes guarantee that the work item is
not pending or running on any CPU on return, so there's no reason to
use the sync flushes at all and they're going away.

This patch is part of a patch-set which changes the MTD interface
from 'mtd->func()' form to 'mtd_func()' form. We need this because
we want to add common code to to all drivers in the mtd core level,
which is impossible with the current interface when MTD clients
call driver functions like 'read()' or 'write()' directly.
At this point we just introduce a new inline wrapper function, but
later some of them are expected to gain more code. E.g., the input
parameters check should be moved to the wrappers rather than be
duplicated at many drivers.
This particular patch introduced the 'mtd_erase()' interface. The
following patches add all the other interfaces one by one.

The array of unsigned long pointed by oops_page_used is allocated
by vmalloc which requires the size to be in bytes.
BITS_PER_LONG is equal to 32.
If we want to allocate memory for 32 pages with one bit per page then
32 / BITS_PER_LONG is equal to 1 byte that is 8 bits.
To fix it we need to multiply the result by sizeof(unsigned long) equal to 4.

This series aims to develop logging facility for enterprise use.
It is important to save kernel messages reliably on enterprise system
because they are helpful for diagnosing system.
This series add kmsg_dump() to the paths loosing kernel messages. The use
case is the following.
[Use case of reboot/poweroff/halt/emergency_restart]
My company has often experienced the followings in our support service.
- Customer's system suddenly reboots.
- Customers ask us to investigate the reason of the reboot.
We recognize the fact itself because boot messages remain in
/var/log/messages. However, we can't investigate the reason why the
system rebooted, because the last messages don't remain. And off course
we can't explain the reason.
We can solve above problem with this patch as follows.
Case1: reboot with command
- We can see "Restarting system with command:" or ""Restarting system.".
Case2: halt with command
- We can see "System halted.".
Case3: poweroff with command
- We can see " Power down.".
Case4: emergency_restart with sysrq.
- We can see "Sysrq:" outputted in __handle_sysrq().
Case5: emergency_restart with softdog.
- We can see "Initiating system reboot" in watchdog_fire().
So, we can distinguish the reason of reboot, poweroff, halt and emergency_restart.
If customer executed reboot command, you may think the customer should
know the fact. However, they often claim they don't execute the command
when they rebooted system by mistake.
No message remains on the current Linux kernel, so we can't show the proof
to the customer. This patch improves this situation.

crash_kexec gets called before kmsg_dump(KMSG_DUMP_OOPS) if

This patch adds a KMSG_DUMP_KEXEC dump type which gets called

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.

The last messages which happens before a crash might contain interesting
information about the crash. This patch reworks mtdoops using the
kmsg_dumper support instead of a console, which simplifies the code and
also includes the messages before the oops started.
On oops callbacks, the MTD device write is scheduled in a work queue (to
be able to use the regular mtd->write call), while panics call
mtd->panic_write directly. Thus, if panic_on_oops is set, the oops will
be written out during the panic.
A parameter to specify which mtd device to use (number or name), as well
as a flag, writable at runtime, to toggle wheter to dump oopses or only
panics (since oopses can often be handled by regular syslog).
The patch was massaged and amended by Artem.

While looking into the mtdoops module, I've spotted several minor
imperfections. This patch addresses them. Namely:
1. Remove several trailing white-spaces and tabs
2. Check 'vmalloc()' return code straight away, not several lines
below in the 'mtdoops_console_init()' function.
3. Clean up printks - make them more consistent and use the same
code formatting style for them.
4. Remove silly style of putting brackets around everything in
"if" operators.

MTD's have both an index number and a name. Formerly,
the MTD selected for mtdoops was done only by index
number. With this patch, a name can be used instead.
For example, the kernel command line:
console=ttyMTD5
selects MTD 5 for mtdoops. But now this is also possible:
console=ttyMTD,log
which selects the MTD named "log" for mtdoops.
This has the advantage that partitions can be added or
removed that would affect the MTD index number but not the
name, without having to then change the kernel command line.

MTD internal API presently uses 32-bit values to represent
device size. This patch updates them to 64-bits but leaves
the external API unchanged. Extending the external API
is a separate issue for several reasons. First, no one
needs it at the moment. Secondly, whether the implementation
is done with IOCTLs, sysfs or both is still debated. Thirdly
external API changes require the internal API to be accepted
first.
Note that although the MTD API will be able to support 64-bit
device sizes, existing drivers do not and are not required
to do so, although NAND base has been updated.
In general, changing from 32-bit to 64-bit values cause little
or no changes to the majority of the code with the following
exceptions:
- printk message formats
- division and modulus of 64-bit values
- NAND base support
- 32-bit local variables used by mtdpart and mtdconcat
- naughtily assuming one structure maps to another
