In linux kernel since version 3.10 (release Date: 2013-06-30)  
Whether pstore records should be compressed before being written to
the backing store. This is implemented using the zlib 'deflate'
algorithm, using the library implementation instead of using the full
blown crypto API. This reduces the risk of secondary oopses or other
problems while pstore is recording panic metadata.
