  ramoops: add pdata NULL check to ramoops_probe (2016-11-15 16:34:32 -0800)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Improvements and fixes to pstore subsystem:

- Add additional checks for bad platform data

- Remove bounce buffer in console writer

- Protect read/unlink race with a mutex

- Correctly give up during dump locking failures

- Increase ftrace bandwidth by splitting ftrace buffers per CPU

      pstore: Make spinlock per zone instead of global
      pstore: Warn on PSTORE_TYPE_PMSG using deprecated function
      pstore: Allow prz to control need for locking
      ramoops: Split ftrace buffer space into per-CPU zones
      pstore: Add ftrace timestamp counter
      pstore: Merge per-CPU ftrace records into one
      ftrace: Provide API to use global filtering for ftrace ops
      pstore: Use global ftrace filters for function trace filtering

Kees Cook (4):
      pstore: Make ramoops_init_przs generic for other prz arrays
      pstore: improve error report for failed setup
      pstore: Clarify context field przs as dprzs
