Subject: add "notime" boot option
From: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@xxxxxxxxxx>
Add "notime" boot option to prevent timing data from being printed on each
printk message line.
We've seen a few cases of 'time' data locking problems (possibly involving
netconsole or net drivers). If a kernel is built with
CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME=y, it may have a boot locking hang. Booting with
"notime" may (i.e., could) prevent the lock hang and allow the kernel to
boot successfully, without requiring a kernel rebuild.
