Subject[PATCH v2 4/5] pstore/ram: allow to dump kmesg during regular reboot
Date
Currently, ramoops is capable to collect dmesg buffer only during
panic and oops events. However, it is desirable to optionally allow
collecting dmesg buffers during other events as well: reboot, kexec,
emergency reboot etc.

While, a similar functionality is provided by pstore console it is not the
same. Often, console message level is reduced in production due to baud
rate limitation of serial consoles. Having a noisy console reduces the
boot performance.

Thus, if the shutdown dmesg buffer is needed to study the shutdown
performance, it is currently not possible to do so with console as by
increasing the console output the shutdown time substantially increases
as well.
