Subject: printk: Add KERN_DEFAULT printk log-level
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e28d713704117bca0820c732210df6075b09f13b;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

printk: Add KERN_DEFAULT printk log-level

This adds a KERN_DEFAULT loglevel marker, for when you cannot decide
which loglevel you want, and just want to keep an existing printk
with the default loglevel.

The difference between having KERN_DEFAULT and having no log-level
marker at all is two-fold:

 - having the log-level marker will now force a new-line if the
   previous printout had not added one (perhaps because it forgot,
   but perhaps because it expected a continuation)

 - having a log-level marker is required if you are printing out a
   message that otherwise itself could perhaps otherwise be mistaken
   for a log-level.
