Breno Leitao says: ==================== netconsole: Add taskname sysdata support This patchset introduces a new feature to the netconsole extradata subsystem that enables the inclusion of the current task's name in the sysdata output of netconsole messages. This enhancement is particularly valuable for large-scale deployments, such as Meta's, where netconsole collects messages from millions of servers and stores them in a data warehouse for analysis. Engineers often rely on these messages to investigate issues and assess kernel health. One common challenge we face is determining the context in which a particular message was generated. By including the task name (task->comm) with each message, this feature provides a direct answer to the frequently asked question: "What was running when this message was generated?" This added context will significantly improve our ability to diagnose and troubleshoot issues, making it easier to interpret output of netconsole. The patchset consists of seven patches that implement the following changes: * Refactor CPU number formatting into a separate function * Prefix CPU_NR sysdata feature with SYSDATA_ * Patch to covert a bitwise operation into boolean * Add configfs controls for taskname sysdata feature * Add taskname to extradata entry count * Add support for including task name in netconsole's extra data output * Document the task name feature in Documentation/networking/netconsole.rst * Add test coverage for the task name feature to the existing sysdata selftest script These changes allow users to enable or disable the task name feature via configfs and provide additional context for kernel messages by showing which task generated each console message. I have tested these patches on some servers and they seem to work as expected. v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250221-netcons_current-v1-0-21c86ae8fc0d@debian.org Signed-off-by: Breno Leitao <leitao@debian.org> ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250228-netcons_current-v2-0-f53ff79a0db2@debian.org Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> |

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 reStructuredText 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.
