Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/3] printk: Use a non-printable ASCII SOH for KERN_<LEVEL>
Date: Thu, 24 May 2012 15:49:30 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1337899274.git.joe@perches.com> (raw)
printk uses "<.>" as a start of record indicator.
This can waste a bit of space and causes a bit of
contortion to get a printk emitted that happens to
starts with "<.>".
Use ASCII Start-of-Header (0x01) as the KERN_LEVEL
initiator and save ~10K in an x86 defconfig.
Joe Perches (3):
printk: Use a non-printable ASCII KERN_<LEVEL> initiator
treewide: Fix declaration and uses of old KERN_<LEVEL> style
printk: Set KERN_CONT to ""
