[v3.11-rc1 PATCH 0/5] printk: Initial restructuring

[v3.11-rc1 PATCH 0/5] printk: Initial restructuring

[Joe Perches]

Back last year, I posted a largish restructuring of printk.

V1: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/17/41
V2: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/24/748

The idea was to break up this way too large a file into
something more manageable and readable.

This is another posting of just the first few patches of this
series rebased onto v3.11-rc1

If this is acceptable, I'll post 5 or so patches at a time
after/if each block of patches is applied.

Joe Perches (5):
  printk: Move to separate directory for easier modification
  printk: Add console_cmdline.h
  printk: Move braille console support into separate braille.[ch] files
  printk: Use pointer for console_cmdline indexing
  printk: rename struct log to struct printk_log

[v3.11-rc1 PATCH 1/5] printk: Move to separate directory for easier modification

[Joe Perches]

Make it easier to break up printk into bite-sized chunks.

Remove printk path/filename from comment.

[v3.11-rc1 PATCH 3/5] printk: Move braille console support into separate braille.[ch] files

[Joe Perches]

Create files with prototypes and static inlines for braille
support.  Make braille_console functions return 1 on success.

Corrected CONFIG_A11Y_BRAILLE_CONSOLE=n _braille_console_setup
return value to NULL.

After watching my newly-retired dad spend two weeks learning how to make a new
folder, it became obvious that "intuitive" mostly means "what the writer or
speaker of intuitive likes".
(Bruce Ediger, bediger@teal.csn.org, in comp.os.linux.misc, on X the
intuitiveness of a Mac interface.)

[v3.11-rc1 PATCH 4/5] printk: Use pointer for console_cmdline indexing

[Joe Perches]

Make the code a bit more compact by always using a pointer
for the active console_cmdline.

Move overly indented code to correct indent level.

[v3.11-rc1 PATCH 5/5] printk: rename struct log to struct printk_log

[Joe Perches]

Rename the struct to enable moving portions of
printk.c to separate files.

The rename changes output of /proc/vmcoreinfo.

I'd rather you take it directly now.

There were a few 9 months ago.

Mostly it was a timing issue as to who
takes it and when.

printk still moves around quite a bit
and Andrew suggested shortly after
an -rc1 was likely the best timing.

http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1212.0/02931.html

As far as I'm concerned, the biggest
deal is starting this refactoring.

It doesn't have to be an big blast
like what was submitted last year,
but it should be started sooner
rather never.

Well it also broke the build a bit, iirc.

I grabbed them and will give them a run in -next for a week or so.  If
that's OK then I'll try to offload everything onto Linus rather than
having to spend two months battling with linux-next monkeyscratchings.

V1 did with a !CONFIG_PRINTK, v2 fixed that.

Yup, that's the problem...
