Merge tag 'pstore-v5.8-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux

Pull pstore updates from Kees Cook:
 "Fixes and new features for pstore.

  This is a pretty big set of changes (relative to past pstore pulls),
  but it has been in -next for a while. The biggest change here is the
  ability to support a block device as a pstore backend, which has been
  desired for a while. A lot of additional fixes and refactorings are
  also included, mostly in support of the new features.

   - refactor pstore locking for safer module unloading (Kees Cook)

   - remove orphaned records from pstorefs when backend unloaded (Kees
     Cook)

   - refactor dump_oops parameter into max_reason (Pavel Tatashin)

   - introduce pstore/zone for common code for contiguous storage
     (WeiXiong Liao)

   - introduce pstore/blk for block device backend (WeiXiong Liao)

   - introduce mtd backend (WeiXiong Liao)"
