The patch titled Subject: panic: add an option to replay all the printk message in buffer has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was panic-add-an-option-to-replay-all-the-printk-message-in-buffer.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Feng Tang <feng.tang@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: panic: add an option to replay all the printk message in buffer Currently on panic, kernel will lower the loglevel and print out pending printk msg only with console_flush_on_panic(). Add an option for users to configure the "panic_print" to replay all dmesg in buffer, some of which they may have never seen due to the loglevel setting, which will help panic debugging.
