The patchset takes care of compressing oops messages while writing to NVRAM,
so that more oops data can be captured in the given space.
big_oops_buf (2.22 * oops_data_sz) is allocated for compression.
oops_data_sz is oops header size less of oops partition size.
Pstore will internally call kmsg_dump to capture messages from printk
buffer. While returning the data to nvram it adds is own header.
For compression:
Register pstore with big_oops_buf.
In case compression fails, copy header added by pstore and
last oops_data_sz bytes (recent messages) of big_oops_buf to
nvram for which we need to know header size.
patch 01/03 will add a function in pstore to return the header size.
pstore read callback of nvram will read the compressed data and return the
decompressed data so that dmesg file (under /dev/pstore) is readable.
In case decompression fails, instead of having the compressed data (junk) in the
dmesg file it will skip and continue reading other partitions. This results in
absence of dmesg file but will still have files relating to other parititons.

nvram_compress() and zip_oops() is used by the nvram_pstore_write

Any reason that isn't handled by pstore itself rather than here ? Ie
make a flag indicating that the partition supports compression and have
pstore do it (so we don't compress everything such as ofw common etc...)

Since pstore does not have the compression support, I planned to reuse the
existing compression code in nvram but later we can add compression support
to pstore so that other platforms can make use of it.

Hi Ben,
There is no change in this patchset and it applies cleanly on top of
v4 of Nvram-to-pstorepatches.
