David S. Miller 20ad40187d Merge branch 'netconsole-userdata-append'
Matthew Wood says:

====================
netconsole: Add userdata append support

Add the ability to add custom userdata to every outbound netconsole message
as a collection of key/value pairs, allowing users to add metadata to every
netconsole message which can be used for  for tagging, filtering, and
aggregating log messages.

In a previous patch series the ability to prepend the uname release was
added towards the goals above. This patch series builds on that
idea to allow any userdata, keyed by a user provided name, to be
included in netconsole messages.

If CONFIG_NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC is enabled an additional userdata
directory will be presented in the netconsole configfs tree, allowing
the addition of userdata entries.

    /sys/kernel/config/netconsole/
			<target>/
				enabled
				release
				dev_name
				local_port
				remote_port
				local_ip
				remote_ip
				local_mac
				remote_mac
				userdata/
					<key>/
						value
					<key>/
						value
          ...

v1->v2:
 * Updated netconsole_target docs, kdoc is now clean
v2->v3:
 * Remove inline keyword from to_userdat* functions
 * Break up some lines that exceeded 80 chars
 * Replace typos and remove {} from single line if statement
 * Remove unused variable

Testing for this series is as follows:

Build every patch without CONFIG_NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC, and also built
with CONFIG_NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC enabled for every patch after the config
option was added

Test Userdata configfs

    # Adding userdata
    cd /sys/kernel/config/netconsole/ && mkdir cmdline0 && cd cmdline0
    mkdir userdata/release && echo hotfix1 > userdata/release/value
    preview=$(for f in `ls userdata`; do echo $f=$(cat userdata/$f/value); done)
    [[ "$preview" == $'release=hotfix1' ]] && echo pass || echo fail
    mkdir userdata/testing && echo something > userdata/testing/value
    preview=$(for f in `ls userdata`; do echo $f=$(cat userdata/$f/value); done)
    [[ "$preview" == $'release=hotfix1\ntesting=something' ]] && echo pass || echo fail
    #
    # Removing Userdata
    rmdir userdata/testing
    preview=$(for f in `ls userdata`; do echo $f=$(cat userdata/$f/value); done)
    [[ "$preview" == $'release=hotfix1' ]] && echo pass || echo fail
    rmdir userdata/release
    preview=$(for f in `ls userdata`; do echo $f=$(cat userdata/$f/value); done)
    [[ "$preview" == $'' ]] && echo pass || echo fail
    #
    # Adding userdata key with too large of 6.7.0-rc8-virtme,12,481,17954104,-directory name [<54 chars]
    mkdir userdata/testing12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890
    [[ $? == 1 ]] && echo pass || echo fail
    #
    # Adding userdata value with too large of value [<200 chars]
    mkdir userdata/testing
    echo `for i in {1..201};do printf "%s" "v";done` > userdata/testing/value
    [[ $? == 1 ]] && echo pass || echo fail
    rmdir userdata/testing

- Output:

    mkdir: cannot create directory ‘cmdline0/userdata/testing12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890’: File name too long
    pass

    pass

Test netconsole messages (w/ msg fragmentation)

    echo `for i in {1..996};do printf "%s" "v";done` > /dev/kmsg

- Output:

Test empty userdatum

    cd /sys/kernel/config/netconsole/ && mkdir cmdline0
    mkdir cmdline0/userdata/empty
    echo test > /dev/kmsg
    rmdir cmdline0/userdata/empty

- Output:

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
