Subject: [PATCH 3/3] netconsole: implement extended console support

printk logbuf keeps various metadata and optional key=value dictionary
for structured messages, both of which are stripped when messages are
handed to regular console drivers.

It can be useful to have this metadata and dictionary available to
netconsole consumers.  This obviously makes logging via netconsole
more complete and the sequence number in particular is useful in
environments where messages may be lost or reordered in transit -
e.g. when netconsole is used to collect messages in a large cluster
where packets may have to travel congested hops to reach the
aggregator.  The lost and reordered messages can easily be identified
and handled accordingly using the sequence numbers.

printk recently added extended console support which can be selected
by setting CON_EXTENDED flag.  From console driver side, not much
changes.  The only difference is that the text passed to the write
callback is formatted the same way as /dev/kmsg.

This patch implements extended console support for netconsole which
can be enabled by either prepending "+" to a netconsole boot param
entry or echoing 1 to "extended" file in configfs.  When enabled,
netconsole transmits extended log messages with headers identical to
/dev/kmsg output.

There's one complication due to message fragments.  netconsole limits
the maximum message size to 1k and messages longer than that are split
into multiple fragments.  As all extended console messages should
carry matching headers and be uniquely identifiable, each extended
message fragment carries full copy of the metadata and an extra header
field to identify the specific fragment.  The optional header is of
the form "ncfrag=OFF/LEN" where OFF is the byte offset into the
message body and LEN is the total length.

To avoid unnecessarily making printk format extended messages,
Extended netconsole is registered with printk when the first extended
netconsole is configured.

v2: Dropped dynamic unregistration of extended console driver, which
    added complexity while not being too beneficial given that most
    netconsole configurations are static.  ncfrag updated to use just
    byte offset and message length.

+Extended console:
+=================
+
+If '+' is prefixed to the configuration line or "extended" config file
+is set to 1, extended console support is enabled. An example boot
+param follows.
+
+ linux netconsole=+4444@...0.0.1/eth1,9353@...0.0.2/12:34:56:78:9a:bc
+
+Log messages are transmitted with extended metadata header in the
+following format which is the same as /dev/kmsg.
+
+ <level>,<sequnum>,<timestamp>,<contflag>;<message text>
+
+Non printable characters in <message text> are escaped using "\xff"
+notation. If the message contains optional dictionary, verbatim
+newline is used as the delimeter.
+
+If a message doesn't fit in 1000 bytes, the message is split into
+multiple fragments by netconsole. These fragments are transmitted with
+"ncfrag" header field added.
+
+ ncfrag=<byte-offset>/<total-bytes>
+
+For example,
+
+ 6,416,1758426,-,ncfrag=0/33;the first chunk,
+ 6,416,1758426,-,ncfrag=16/33;the second chunk.
