netconsole: Append kernel version to message
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Create a new netconsole runtime option that prepends the kernel version in
the netconsole message. This is useful to map kernel messages to kernel
version in a simple way, i.e., without checking somewhere which kernel
version the host that sent the message is using.

If this option is selected, then the "<release>," is prepended before the
netconsole message. This is an example of a netconsole output, with
release feature enabled:

If 'r' (release) feature is enabled, the kernel release version is
prepended to the start of the message. Example::

Non printable characters in <message text> are escaped using "\xff"
notation. If the message contains optional dictionary, verbatim
newline is used as the delimiter.
