[PATCH v2] printk: Add a short description string to kmsg_dump()
Jocelyn Falempe

Tue Jul 2 05:26:04 PDT 2024
kmsg_dump doesn't forward the panic reason string to the kmsg_dumper
callback.
This patch adds a new struct kmsg_dump_detail, that will hold the
reason and description, and pass it to the dump() callback.
To avoid updating all kmsg_dump() call, it adds a kmsg_dump_desc()
function and a macro for backward compatibility.
I've written this for drm_panic, but it can be useful for other
kmsg_dumper.
It allows to see the panic reason, like "sysrq triggered crash"
or "VFS: Unable to mount root fs on xxxx" on the drm panic screen.
v2:
* Use a struct kmsg_dump_detail to hold the reason and description
pointer, for more flexibility if we want to add other parameters.
(Kees Cook)
* Fix powerpc/nvram_64 build, as I didn't update the forward
declaration of oops_to_nvram()
