Subject[PATCH/RFC] oops and panic message logging to MTD
From
Date
Kernel oops and panic messages are invaluable when debugging crashes.
These messages often don't make it to flash based logging methods (say a
syslog on jffs2) due to the overheads involved in writing to flash.

This patch allows you to turn an MTD partition into a circular log
buffer where kernel oops and panic messages are written to. The messages
are obtained by registering a console driver and checking
oops_in_progress. Erases are performed in advance to maximise the
chances of a saving messages.

To activate it, add console=ttyMTDx to the kernel commandline (where x
is the mtd device number to use).

http://folks.o-hand.com/richard/oopslog.c is an example of extracting
this information in userspace. It will work with an mtdblock device or a
dump of an mtd partition.
