Subject: [PATCH] [FEAT RTL1601] dump2tar: Add sysfs collection helper for dbginfo.sh
From: Peter Oberparleiter <oberpar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Summary:     dump2tar: Add sysfs collection helper for dbginfo.sh
Description: Certain files in virtual filesystems such as sysfs,
             debugfs and procfs do not correctly report their size.
             As a result, tools like tar, cp or rsync cannot be easily
             used to collect these files.
             
             This patch adds a tool to efficiently dump such files
             into a compressed tar archive. It is intended to be used
             by the dbginfo.sh script to significantly speed up data
             collection.

+   * dump2tar:
+     dump2tar is a tool for creating a tar archive from the contents of
+     arbitrary files. It works even when the size of the actual file content
+     is not known beforehand (e.g. FIFOs, sysfs files).

+.SH "NAME"
+dump2tar - Gather file contents and command output into a tar archive
+.
+.
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.B "dump2tar "
+.RI "[" "OPTIONS" "] " "SPECS"
+.
+.
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.B dump2tar
+creates a tar archive from the contents of any files, including files of
+unknown size.
+
+Examples for files of unknown size are:
+.IP \(bu 3
+Named pipes (FIFOs)
+.PP
+.IP \(bu 3
+Particular Linux kernel debugfs or sysfs files
+.PP
+.IP \(bu 3
+Character or block devices
+.PP
+
+When adding such a file,
+.B dump2tar
+first reads all available data until an end-of-file indication is found. From
+this data, it then creates a regular file entry in the resulting tar archive.
+By default, symbolic links and directories are preserved in the archive in
+their original form.
+
+.B dump2tar
+can also:
+.IP \(bu 3
+Add files under a different name
+.PP
+.IP \(bu 3
+Run arbitrary commands and add the resulting command output as a
+regular file
+.PP
+.
+.
+.SH "FILE SPECIFICATIONS"
+.
+This section describes the format of the
+.I SPECS
+argument mentioned in the command synopsis.
+Use the following command line syntax to identify data sources and
+to specify file names within the archive:
+.PP
+
+.TP
+.I "PATH"
+Adds the contents of the file system subtree at file system location
+.I PATH
+(with possible exceptions described by options) in the archive under the same
+file name as on the file system.
+.PP
+.
+.
+.TP
+.IR "FILENAME" ":=" "PATH"
+Adds the contents of the file at file system location
+.I PATH
+in the archive under the name specified by
+.IR FILENAME .
+.PP
+.
+.
+.TP
+.IR "FILENAME" "|=" "CMDLINE"
+Runs the command
+.IR CMDLINE
+and captures both the resulting standard output and standard error streams.
+Adds the collected output as a regular file named
+.I FILENAME
+in the resulting archive. You can also include the resulting program exit code
+by using option \-\-add\-cmd\-status.
+.PP
+.
+You can also specify "\-\-". All specifications that follow are interpreted as
+simple file names. This is useful for archiving files that contain ":=" or "|=".
+.PP
+.
+.
+.SH "OUTPUT OPTIONS"
+.
+.OD "output\-file" "o" "TARFILE"
+Writes the resulting tar archive to
+.IR TARFILE .
+An existing file at the specified file system location is overwritten.
+
+If this option is omitted or if "\-" is specified for
+.IR TARFILE ,
+the archive is written to the standard output stream.
+.PP
+.
+.
+.OD "gzip" "z" ""
+Compresses the resulting tar archive using gzip.
+.PP
+.
+.
+.OD "max\-size" "m" "VALUE"
+Sets an upper size limit, in bytes, for the resulting archive. If this limit
+is exceeded after adding a file, no further files are added.
+.PP
+.
+.
+.OD "timeout" "t" "VALUE"
+Sets an upper time limit, in seconds, for the archiving process. If this limit
+is exceeded while adding a file, that file is truncated and no
+further files are added.
+.PP
+.
+.
+.OD "no-eof" "" ""
+Does not write an end-of-file marker.
+
+Use this option if you want to create an archive that can be extended by
+appending additional tar archive data.
+
+Note: Do not use this option for the final data to be added.
+A valid tar archive requires a trailing end-of-file marker.
+.PP
+.
+.
+.OD "append" "" ""
+Appends data to the end of the archive.
+
+Use this option to incrementally build a tar file by repeatedly calling
+.BR dump2tar .
+You must specify the \-\-no\-eof option for each but the final call of
+.BR dump2tar .
+.PP
+.
+.
+.OD "add-cmd-status" "" ""
+Adds a separate file named
+.RI \(dq FILENAME .cmdstatus\(dq
+for each command output added through the
+.RI \(dq FILENAME |= CMDLINE \(dq
+notation (see FILE SPECIFICATIONS).
+This file contains information about the exit status of the
+process that executed the command:
+.
+.RS 8
+.TP
+.RI EXITSTATUS= VALUE
+Unless
+.I VALUE
+is -1, the process ended normally with the specified exit value.
+.PP
+.
+.TP
+.RI TERMSIG= VALUE
+Unless
+.I VALUE
+is -1, the process was stopped by a signal of the specified number.
+.PP
+.
+.TP
+.RI WAITPID_ERRNO= VALUE
+Unless
+.I VALUE
+is -1, an attempt to obtain the status of the process failed with the
+specified error.
+.PP
+.RE
+.
+.
+.
+.SH "INPUT OPTIONS"
+.
+.OD "files\-from" "F" "FILENAME"
+Reads input data specifications (see FILE SPECIFICATIONS) from
+.IR FILENAME ,
+one specification per line. Each line contains either a file name or a
+.IR FILENAME := PATH
+or
+.IR FILENAME |= CMDLINE
+specification. Empty lines are ignored.
+
+A line can also consist of only "\-\-". All lines following this specification
+are interpreted as simple file names. This is useful for archiving files that
+contain ":=" or "|=".
+.PP
+.
+.
+.OD "ignore\-failed\-read" "i" ""
+Continues after read errors.
+
+By default,
+.B dump2tar
+stops processing after encountering errors while reading an input file.
+With this option,
+.B dump2tar
+prints a warning message and adds an empty entry for the erroneous file in
+the archive.
+.PP
+.
+.
+.OD "buffer\-size" "b" "VALUE"
+Reads data from input files in chunks of
+.I VALUE
+bytes. Large values can accelerate the archiving process for large files
+at the cost of increased memory usage. The default value is 1048576.
+.PP
+.
+.
+.OD "file\-timeout" "T" "VALUE"
+Sets an upper time limit, in seconds, for reading an input file.
+
+.B dump2tar
+stops processing a file when the time limit is exceeded. Archive entries for
+such files are truncated to the amount of data that is collected by the time
+the limit is reached.
+.PP
+.
+.
+.OD "file\-max\-size" "M" "N"
+Sets an upper size limit, in bytes, for an input file.
+
+.B dump2tar
+stops processing a file when the size limit is exceeded. Archive entries for
+such files are truncated to the specified size.
+.PP
+.
+.
+.OD "jobs" "j" "N"
+By default,
+.B dump2tar
+processes one file at a time. With this option,
+.B dump2tar
+processes
+.I N
+files in parallel.
+
+Parallel processing can accelerate the archiving process,
+especially if input files are located on slow devices, or when output from
+multiple commands is added to the archive.
+
+Note: Use
+.B tar
+option \-\-delay\-directory\-restore when extracting files from an archive
+created with \-\-jobs to prevent conflicts with directory permissions and
+modification times.
+.PP
+.
+.
+.OD "jobs\-per\-cpu" "J" "N"
+Processes
+.I N
+files for each online CPU in parallel.
+
+Parallel processing can accelerate the
+archiving process, especially if input files are located on slow devices, or

+created with \-\-jobs\-per\-cpu to prevent conflicts with directory permissions
+and modification times.
+.PP
+.
+.
+.OD "exclude" "x" "PATTERN"
+Does not add files to the archive if their file names match
+.IR PATTERN .
+.I PATTERN
+is an expression that uses the shell wildcards.
+.PP
+.
+.
+.OD "exclude\-from" "X" "FILENAME"

+.PP
