Some callers handle SYS_INFO_ALL_BT themselves before calling sys_info().
When they strip that bit, an all_bt-only mask becomes zero and sys_info(0)
falls back to kernel_si_mask, potentially duplicating output.
This series adds sys_info_with_filter() to filter specific bits without
triggering the kernel_si_mask fallback.
Changes since v2:
- Use sys_info_with_filter() instead of sys_info_without_all_bt() per
Petr's suggestion
- Filter applied at __sys_info() level to handle kernel_si_mask correctly
- Added panic.c conversion
Bradley Morgan (4):
sys_info: add helper for callers that print some sys_info on their own
watchdog: use sys_info_with_filter() to avoid duplicate backtraces
powerpc/watchdog: use sys_info_with_filter() to avoid duplicate
backtraces
panic: use sys_info_with_filter() to avoid duplicate backtraces
