[PATCH] powerpc: dump kernel log before carrying out fadump or kdump

From: Ganesh Goudar <hidden>
Date: 2019-08-22 06:34:27
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

Die or panic path in system reset handler dumps kernel log to
nvram, since commit 4388c9b3a6ee ("powerpc: Do not send system
reset request through the oops path") system reset request is
not allowed to take die path if fadump or kdump is configured,
hence we miss dumping kernel log to nvram, call kmsg_dump()
before carrying out fadump or kdump.

Fixes: 4388c9b3a6ee ("powerpc: Do not send system reset request through the oops path")
