kmsg_dump(KMSG_DUMP_SHUTDOWN) is called before machine_restart(), machine_halt(), machine_power_off(), the only one that is missing is machine_kexec().
The dmesg output that it contains can be used to study the shutdown performance of both kernel and systemd during kexec reboot. Here is example of dmesg data collected after kexec: root@dplat-cp22:~# cat /sys/fs/pstore/dmesg-ramoops-0 | tail ... <6>[ 70.914592] psci: CPU3 killed (polled 0 ms) <5>[ 70.915705] CPU4: shutdown <6>[ 70.916643] psci: CPU4 killed (polled 4 ms) <5>[ 70.917715] CPU5: shutdown <6>[ 70.918725] psci: CPU5 killed (polled 0 ms) <5>[ 70.919704] CPU6: shutdown <6>[ 70.920726] psci: CPU6 killed (polled 4 ms) <5>[ 70.921642] CPU7: shutdown <6>[ 70.922650] psci: CPU7 killed (polled 0 ms) Signed-off-by: Pavel Tatashin <pasha.tatas...@soleen.com> --- kernel/kexec_core.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/kernel/kexec_core.c b/kernel/kexec_core.c index c19c0dad1ebe..50027f759a97 100644 --- a/kernel/kexec_core.c +++ b/kernel/kexec_core.c @@ -37,6 +37,7 @@ #include <linux/compiler.h> #include <linux/hugetlb.h> #include <linux/frame.h> +#include <linux/kmsg_dump.h> #include <asm/page.h> #include <asm/sections.h> @@ -1181,6 +1182,7 @@ int kernel_kexec(void) machine_shutdown(); } + kmsg_dump(KMSG_DUMP_SHUTDOWN); machine_kexec(kexec_image); #ifdef CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP -- 2.25.1 _______________________________________________ kexec mailing list kexec@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/kexec
