From 15d260b36facc1aa769fb39b0efc41f4c8c44729 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Keniston Date: Fri, 25 Mar 2011 12:47:58 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/nvram: Don't overwrite oops/panic report on normal shutdown For normal halt, reboot, and poweroff events, refrain from overwriting the lnx,oops-log partition. Also, don't save the dmesg buffer on an emergency-restart event if we've already saved it earlier in panic().
