            Bug ID: 97161
           Summary: bootparam(7): 'debug' parameter: reference to
                    <linux/kernel.h> for information on log levels is
                    misleading.
           Product: Documentation
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: man-pages
          Assignee: documentation_man-pages@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
          Reporter: a.c.kalker@xxxxxxxxx
        Regression: No

The section on the 'debug' parameter refers the user to <linux/kernel.h> for
more information on kernel log levels, however, that file contains neither a
description of console_loglevel nor nor a description of the various log
levels.

The closest I can find is <include/linux/kern_levels.h>, which defines the
various log levels but doesn't explain console_loglevel, Also, it only exists
in recent kernels, version 3.5 and up.
Another candidate would be <include/linux/printk.h>, which does define
console_loglevel but doesn't explain the individual log levels.

Perhaps both references (<include/linux/printk.h>,
<include/linux/kern_levels.h>) could be included?

Kind regards,

Alain
