The idea is to add this to printk after the severity: printk(KERN_ERR FW_BUG "This is not our fault\n"); If a Firmware issue should be hidden, because it is work-arounded, but you still want to see something popping up e.g. for info only: printk(KERN_INFO FW_INFO "This is done stupid, we can handle it, but it should better be avoided in future\n"); or on the Linuxfirmwarekit to tell vendors that they did something stupid or wrong without bothering the user: printk(KERN_INFO FW_BUG "This is done stupid, we can handle it, but it should better be avoided in future\n"); Signed-off-by: Thomas Renninger <trenn@xxxxxxx> --- include/linux/kernel.h | 3 +++ 1 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/include/linux/kernel.h b/include/linux/kernel.h index 2651f80..68ebfc2 100644 --- a/include/linux/kernel.h +++ b/include/linux/kernel.h @@ -190,6 +190,9 @@ extern int kernel_text_address(unsigned long addr); struct pid; extern struct pid *session_of_pgrp(struct pid *pgrp); +#define FW_BUG "[FW Bug]: " +#define FW_INFO "[FW Info]: " + #ifdef CONFIG_PRINTK asmlinkage int vprintk(const char *fmt, va_list args) __attribute__ ((format (printf, 1, 0))); -- 1.5.4.5 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
