From de6da1e8bcf0dd2058b950b127491821207679dc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Feng Tang Date: Fri, 17 May 2019 14:31:50 -0700 Subject: panic: add an option to replay all the printk message in buffer Currently on panic, kernel will lower the loglevel and print out pending printk msg only with console_flush_on_panic(). Add an option for users to configure the "panic_print" to replay all dmesg in buffer, some of which they may have never seen due to the loglevel setting, which will help panic debugging .
