I think the previous Macro was moved > into the file kexec_core.c when Dave did the splitting. I'm not sure it is proper to add prefix "kexec: " in all kexec*.c, so only keep it in kexec_core.c. There's already printks with prefix like "Kexec:", "crashkernel:" and other strings. Adding another prefix before them looks odd. So either remove the prefix in kexec_core, or remove other prefixes already exists in kexec*.c I would prefix to remove the "kexec:" prefix in kexec_core.c > > Thanks > Minfei > > > > Following is the format of output message now. > > > [ 140.290795] SYSC_kexec_load: hello, world > > > > > > Ideally, the format of output message likes below. > > > [ 140.291534] kexec: sanity_check_segment_list: hello, world > > > > > > Signed-off-by: Minfei Huang <mnfhuang at gmail.com> > > > --- > > > kernel/kexec.c | 2 ++ > > > kernel/kexec_file.c | 2 ++ > > > 2 files changed, 4 insertions(+) > > > > > > diff --git a/kernel/kexec.c b/kernel/kexec.c > > > index 4c5edc3..15351ba 100644 > > > --- a/kernel/kexec.c > > > +++ b/kernel/kexec.c > > > @@ -6,6 +6,8 @@ > > > * Version 2.
