Right now the patches only include the ringbuffer as a separate entity
with a test module. So they do not yet have any effect on printk.
If you apply the patches and then build the "modules" target, you will
have a new test_prb.ko module. Loading that module will start some heavy
testing of the ringbuffer. As long as the testing is successful, the
module will keep testing. During this time the machine will be very
slow, but should still respond.
The test can be stopped by unloading the module. If the test stops on
its own, then a problem was found. The output of the test is put into
the ftrace buffer.
It would be nice if you could run the test module on some fat machines,
at least for a few minutes to see if anything explodes. ARM64 and
ppc64le will probably be the most interesting, due to memory barrier
testing.
Otherwise I will definitely be reaching out to you when we are ready to
perform actual printk testing with the newly agreed up semantics
(lockless, per-console printing threads, synchronous panic
consoles). Thanks for your help with this.
John Ogness
