Subject: [PATCH v5 2/6] xen/console: make console buffer size configurable
Date: Wed,  4 Feb 2026 17:36:02 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260205013606.3384798-3-dmukhin@ford.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260205013606.3384798-1-dmukhin@ford.com>

From: Denis Mukhin <dmukhin@ford.com> 

Add new CONRING_SHIFT Kconfig parameter to specify the boot console buffer size
as a power of 2.

The supported range is [14..27] -> [16KiB..128MiB].

Set default to 15 (32 KiB).
