Description:
Recently I was trying to debug a kernel panic and I noticed that nothing was being stored in /sys/fs/pstore/. I have a Dell XPS 15 (9550) and EFI vars can be used to provide a backend for pstore. However, the core/linux kernel package has CONFIG_EFI_VARS and CONFIG_EFI_VARS_PSTORE disabled. I had to compile my own kernel to enable them and get a proper dmesg log of the kernel panic. Is there any reason not to have EFI_VARS and EFI_VARS_PSTORE enabled by default (as modules)? I think it'll be very useful to have a EFI pstore backend in core/linux. |
