Subject: [PATCH 25/30] panic, printk: Add console flush parameter and convert panic_print to a notifier
Currently the parameter "panic_print" relies in a function called
directly on panic path; one of the flags the users can set for
panic_print triggers a console replay mechanism, to show the
entire kernel log buffer (from the beginning) in a panic event.
Two problems with that: the dual nature of the panic_print
isn't really appropriate, the function was originally meant
to allow users dumping system information on panic events,
and was "overridden" to also force a console flush of the full
kernel log buffer. It also turns the code a bit more complex
and duplicate than it needs to be.
This patch proposes 2 changes: first, we decouple panic_print
from the console flushing mechanism, in the form of a new kernel
core parameter (panic_console_replay); we kept the functionality
on panic_print to avoid userspace breakage, although we comment
in both code and documentation that this panic_print usage is
deprecated.
We converted panic_print function to a panic notifier too, adding
it on the panic informational notifier list, executed as the final
callback. This allows a more clear code and makes sense, as
panic_print_sys_info() is really a panic-time only function.
We also moved its code to kernel/printk.c, it seems to make more
sense given it's related to printing stuff.
