Subject: [PATCH 06/06] printk_delay for multi lines
printk delay help us to capture printk messages on some unconvenient senarios,
ie. on halt phase. But the messages is still not easy to read.
So this patch add another sysctl variable printk_delay_lines to
make the messages can be delayed after multi printks. Thus we can
take pictures by camera easily and the messages will be more readable.
kmesg will delay printk_delay_msecs milliseconds
after every printk_delay_lines printks when printk_delay > 0.
Additional, merge boot_delay into printk_delay function. remove boot_delay
boot param, add printk_delay and printk_delay_lines instead.
Now, we can set the value by:
1. sysctl interface:
/proc/sys/kernel/printk_delay
/proc/sys/kernel/printk_delay_lines
2. boot params:
printk_delay
printk_delay_lines
printk_delay_lines range from 1 - 10000, default value is 1

- help
- This build option allows you to read kernel boot messages
- by inserting a short delay after each one. The delay is
- specified in milliseconds on the kernel command line,
- using "boot_delay=N".
-
- It is likely that you would also need to use "lpj=M" to preset
- the "loops per jiffie" value.
- See a previous boot log for the "lpj" value to use for your
- system, and then set "lpj=M" before setting "boot_delay=N".
- NOTE: Using this option may adversely affect SMP systems.
- I.e., processors other than the first one may not boot up.
- BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY also may cause DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP to detect
- what it believes to be lockup conditions.
