printk: Add function to return log buffer address and size

2014-08-13T05:13:44Z

Platforms like IBM Power Systems supports service processor assisted dump. It provides interface to add memory region to be captured when system is crashed. During initialization/running we can add kernel memory region to be collected. Presently we don't have a way to get the log buffer base address and size. This patch adds support to return log buffer address and size. Signed-off-by: Vasant Hegde Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Acked-by: Andrew Morton

printk: rename DEFAULT_MESSAGE_LOGLEVEL

2014-08-07T01:01:24Z

Commit a8fe19ebfbfd ("kernel/printk: use symbolic defines for console loglevels") makes consistent use of symbolic values for printk() log levels. The naming scheme used is different from the one used for DEFAULT_MESSAGE_LOGLEVEL though. Change that symbol name to be MESSAGE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT for consistency. And because the value of that symbol comes from a similarly-named config option, rename CONFIG_DEFAULT_MESSAGE_LOGLEVEL as well.

kernel/printk: use symbolic defines for console loglevels

2014-06-04T23:54:17Z

... instead of naked numbers. Stuff in sysrq.c used to set it to 8 which is supposed to mean above default level so set it to DEBUG instead as we're terminating/killing all tasks and we want to be verbose there. Also, correct the check in x86_64_start_kernel which should be >= as we're clearly issuing the string there for all debug levels, not only the magical 10.

Documentation: expand/clarify debug documentation

2014-06-04T23:54:17Z

The pr_debug() and related debug print macros all differ from the normal pr_XXX() macros, in that the normal ones print unconditionally, while the debug macros are compiled out unless DEBUG is defined or CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is set. This isn't obvious, and the only way to find this out is either to review the actual printk.h code or to read CodingStyle, and the message there doesn't highlight the fact. Change Documentation/CodingStyle to clearly indicate that pr_debug() and related debug printing macros behave differently than all other pr_XXX() macros, and attempt to clarify when and where the different debug printing methods might be used. Add short comment to printk.h above the pr_XXX() macros indicating that while these macros print unconditionally, pr_debug() does not.

printk: Add printk_deferred_once

2014-06-04T23:54:17Z

Two of the three prink_deferred uses are really printk_once style uses, so add a printk_deferred_once macro to simplify those call sites.

printk: rename printk_sched to printk_deferred

2014-06-04T23:54:17Z

After learning we'll need some sort of deferred printk functionality in the timekeeping core, Peter suggested we rename the printk_sched function so it can be reused by needed subsystems. This only changes the function name. No logic changes.

printk/cache: mark printk_once test variable __read_mostly

2014-01-24T00:36:56Z

Add #include to define __read_mostly. Convert cache.h to use uapi/linux/kernel.h instead of linux/kernel.h to avoid recursive #includes. Convert the ALIGN macro to __ALIGN_KERNEL. printk_once only sets the bool variable tested once so mark it __read_mostly. Neaten the alignment so it matches the rest of the pr__once #defines too.
