memory are implementation defined, and won't work on many ARMs such as omaps.
The memory area is divided into ``record_size`` chunks (also rounded down to
-power of two) and each oops/panic writes a ``record_size`` chunk of
+power of two) and each kmesg dump writes a ``record_size`` chunk of
information.
-Dumping both oopses and panics can be done by setting 1 in the ``dump_oops``
-variable while setting 0 in that variable dumps only the panics.
+Limiting which kinds of kmsg dumps are stored can be controlled via
+the ``max_reason`` value, as defined in include/linux/kmsg_dump.h's
+``enum kmsg_dump_reason``. For example, to store both Oopses and Panics,
+``max_reason`` should be set to 2 (KMSG_DUMP_OOPS), to store only Panics
+``max_reason`` should be set to 1 (KMSG_DUMP_PANIC). Setting this to 0
+(KMSG_DUMP_UNDEF), means the reason filtering will be controlled by the
+``printk.always_kmsg_dump`` boot param: if unset, it'll be KMSG_DUMP_OOPS,
+otherwise KMSG_DUMP_MAX.
The module uses a counter to record multiple dumps but the counter gets reset
on restart (i.e. new dumps after the restart will overwrite old ones).
