Subject: [ 05/30] doc, xen: Mention earlyprintk=xen in the documentation.
Date: Fri, 1 Mar 2013 11:45:26 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130301194528.578117945@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130301194527.988540148@linuxfoundation.org>
3.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
commit 2482a92e7d17187301d7313cfe5021b13393a0b4 upstream.
The earlyprintk for Xen PV guests utilizes a simple hypercall
(console_io) to provide output to Xen emergency console.
Note that the Xen hypervisor should be booted with 'loglevel=all'
to output said information.
