linux-5.3_rc8-289: Select PSTORE and EFI_VARS_PSTORE
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Enable ways to store Linux messages in case of panics.

    config PSTORE
    	tristate "Persistent store support"
    	select CRYPTO if PSTORE_COMPRESS
    	default n
    	help
    	   This option enables generic access to platform level
    	   persistent storage via "pstore" filesystem that can
    	   be mounted as /dev/pstore.  Only useful if you have
    	   a platform level driver that registers with pstore to
    	   provide the data, so you probably should just go say "Y"
    	   (or "M") to a platform specific persistent store driver
    	   (e.g. ACPI_APEI on X86) which will select this for you.
    	   If you don't have a platform persistent store driver,
    	   say N.

That implicitly selects the option `EFI_VARS_PSTORE` below.

    config EFI_VARS_PSTORE
    	tristate "Register efivars backend for pstore"
    	depends on EFI_VARS && PSTORE
    	default y
    	help
    	  Say Y here to enable use efivars as a backend to pstore. This
    	  will allow writing console messages, crash dumps, or anything
    	  else supported by pstore to EFI variables.

Fixes: #1249
