I guess that it would be used only drm_panic() because it is graphics and might be "fancy". The others simply dump the log buffer and the reason is in the dumped log as well. Anyway, the passed buffer is static. Alternative solution would be to make it global and export it like, for example, panic_cpu. Best Regards, Petr

Seems reasonable. Given the prototype before/after: dump(struct kmsg_dumper *dumper, enum kmsg_dump_reason reason) dump(struct kmsg_dumper *dumper, enum kmsg_dump_reason reason, const char *desc) Perhaps this should instead be a struct that the panic fills in? Then it'll be easy to adjust the struct in the future: struct kmsg_dump_detail { enum kmsg_dump_reason reason; const char *description; }; dump(struct kmsg_dumper *dumper, struct kmsg_dump *detail) This .cocci could do the conversion: @ dump_func @ identifier DUMPER, CALLBACK; @@ struct kmsg_dumper DUMPER = { .dump = CALLBACK, }; @ detail @ identifier dump_func.CALLBACK; identifier DUMPER, REASON; @@ CALLBACK(struct kmsg_dumper *DUMPER, - enum kmsg_dump_reason REASON + struct kmsg_dump_detail *detail ) { <... - REASON + detail->reason ...> } Also, just to double-check, doesn't the panic reason show up in the kmsg_dump log itself (at the end?)

It's not a static buffer, because the string is generated at runtime. eg: https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/arch/arm/mm/init.c#L158 So it will be hard to avoid race conditions. > > Best Regards, > Petr >

So to retrieve it you need to parse the last 30~40 lines of logs, and search for a line starting with "Kernel panic - not syncing". https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.10-rc5/source/kernel/panic.c#L341 But I think that's a bit messy, and I prefer having a kmsg_dump parameter.

Yeah, I totally agree: it should be easy to access the panic reason. I just wanted to double-check that from pstore's perspective there wasn't any "new" information here that should be captured somehow. Thanks!

kmsg_dump doesn't forward the panic reason string to the kmsg_dumper callback. This patch adds a new parameter "const char *desc" to the kmsg_dumper dump() callback, and update all drivers that are using it. To avoid updating all kmsg_dump() call, it adds a kmsg_dump_desc() function and a macro for backward compatibility. I've written this for drm_panic, but it can be useful for other kmsg_dumper. It allows to see the panic reason, like "sysrq triggered crash" or "VFS: Unable to mount root fs on xxxx" on the drm panic screen.
