From e84845c4bf9a00533352e5805b35f42acdb04a1e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Randy Dunlap Date: Sun, 15 Jul 2007 23:40:25 -0700 Subject: add printk.time option, deprecate 'time' Allow printk_time to be enabled or disabled at boot time. Previously it could be enabled only, but not disabled. Change printk_time from an int to a bool since that's what it is. Make its logical (exposed) name just be "time" (was "printk_time"). Note: Changes kernel boot option syntax from "time" to "printk.time=value". Since printk_time is declared as a module_param, it can also be changed at run-time by modifying /sys/module/printk/parameters/time to a value of 1/Y/y to enabled it or 0/N/n to disable it. Since printk_time is declared as a module_param, its value can also be set at boot-time by using linux printk.time= If the "time" boot option is used, print a message that it is deprecated and will be removed. Note its planned removal in feature-removal-schedule.txt.
