Subject[PATCH v5 0/5] pstore: ramoops: support multiple pmsg instances
Date
The following series implements multiple pmsg. This feature allows userspace
program to control individual content aging or priority.

If a pstore backend module(e.g. ramoops) requires the multiple pmsg instances
when registering itself to pstore, multiple /dev/pmsg[ID] are created. Writes
to each /dev/pmsg[ID] are isolated each other. After reboot, the contents are
available in /sys/fs/pstore/pmsg-[backend]-[ID].

In addition, we add multiple pmsg support for ramoops. We can specify multiple
pmsg area size by its module parameter as follows.

pmsg_size=0x1000,0x2000,...

I did check the operation of this feature on CycloneV (socfpga) Helio board.
