[PATCH v6 00/11] printk: console: Per-console loglevels

[Chris Down <chris@chrisdown.name>]

v6:

- Add .rst suffix to documentation in do_syslog
- Add loglevel table to per-console-loglevel.rst and serial-console.rst
- Add newlines between multiline bullets in per-console-loglevel.rst
- Make effective_loglevel doc more clear
- Remove ignore_per_console_loglevel doc, it's not shown in sysfs now
- Use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE for con->level
- Ignore/restore per console loglevel in sysrq
- Add new fields to comment above struct console
- Remove now unused flags field on console_cmdline
- Remove WARN_ON_ONCE(!con) in effective loglevel checks
- Avoid underflow in find_and_remove_console_option if val_buf_size == 0
- Better error message on oversize in find_and_remove_loglevel_option
- Reject if clamped in find_and_remove_loglevel_option
- Clarify level setting logic in __add_preferred_console
- Move console emission check to printk_delay itself
- Use console_src_read_flags in enabled_show
- Infer if extended from con in printk_get_next_message, don't pass args
- Remove misleading comment about early consoles in console_init
- Use a goto in loglevel_store to avoid setting level in multiple places
- Mention only @flags and @level are valid in printk_get_next_message
- Use LOGLEVEL_DEBUG for max clamp in sysctls
- Update for class_create interface changes
- Move sysctl functionality out to sysfs.c
- Purge default_console_loglevel
- Update sysctl docs for kernel.printk deprecation

v5:

- Fix syntax in boot_delay

v4:

- Change base to Linus' master
- Use SRCU iterators for console walks
- Override per-console loglevels on magic sysrq
- Fix htmldocs
- Fix mistaken __user annotation in sysctl callbacks
- Consistently use indexed names (eg. ttyS0 instead of ttyS)
- Remove "The loglevel for a console can be set in many places" comment
- Remove CON_LOGLEVEL flag and infer based on >0
- Open code our dev_get_drvdata console stashing
- Split out console_effective_loglevel functions per Petr's suggestion
- Make boot_delay_msec/printk_delay check if it would be emitted
- Simplify warning on SYSLOG_ACTION_CONSOLE_LEVEL
- Save/restore ignore_per_console_loglevel on syslog console actions
- Unify min/max level checks across sysfs/proc/syslog
- Add find_and_remove_console_option to avoid affecting io/mmio options

v3:

- Update to work with John's kthread patches
- Remove force_console_loglevel, now we only have global and local levels
- Remove minimum_console_loglevel control and document how to change it
- The minimum loglevel is now only honoured on setting global/local level
- Add ignore_per_console_loglevel
- Return -EINVAL if trying to set below minimum console level
- Add parser for named console= options
- Fix docs around ignore_loglevel: it can be changed at runtime
- Fix ordering in "in order of authority" docs
- Remove duplicated default_console_loglevel doc
- Only warn once on syslog() use

v2:

- Dynamically allocate struct device*
- Document sysfs attributes in Documentation/ABI/
- Use sysfs_emit() instead of sprintf() in dev sysfs files
- Remove WARN_ON() for device_add/IS_ERR(console_class)
- Remove "soon" comment for kernel.printk
- Fix !CONFIG_PRINTK build
- Fix device_unregister() NULL dereference if called before class setup
- Add new documentation to MAINTAINERS
