kexec: dump kmessage before machine_kexec
kmsg_dump(KMSG_DUMP_SHUTDOWN) is called before machine_restart(), machine_halt(), and 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 ... [ 70.914592] psci: CPU3 killed (polled 0 ms) [ 70.915705] CPU4: shutdown [ 70.916643] psci: CPU4 killed (polled 4 ms) [ 70.917715] CPU5: shutdown [ 70.918725] psci: CPU5 killed (polled 0 ms) [ 70.919704] CPU6: shutdown [ 70.920726] psci: CPU6 killed (polled 4 ms) [ 70.921642] CPU7: shutdown [ 70.922650] psci: CPU7 killed (polled 0 ms) Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210319192326.146000-2-pasha.tatashin@soleen.comSigned-off-by: Pavel Tatashin <pasha.tatashin@soleen.com> Reviewed-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Petr Mladek <pmladek@suse.com> Reviewed-by: Bhupesh Sharma <bhsharma@redhat.com> Acked-by: Baoquan He <bhe@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Tyler Hicks <tyhicks@linux.microsoft.com> Cc: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org> Cc: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org> Cc: Eric W.
