Subject: [patch] terminate the oops printing with a defined string/uuid From: Arjan van de Ven Right now, it's hard for automated tools to determine when an oops has ended; there's no clear marker for this. For later kernels I would also like a UUID to printed here, but for short term I've put all zeros there since printing a UUID seems to involve cleaning up/rewriting quite a chunk of random.c and that's more involved -> later patch.
