but not wrapped by a macro.
Patches 4-6 make existing kernel code aware of this fact.
The series was compile tested with make allyesconfig for x86 and
arm (with a cross compiler) but I might have missed something.
All kinds of comments are welcome.
Marc Andre Tanner (7):
printk: introduce
Because printk might be wrapped by a macro avoid constructs which
assume that the return value can be interpreted as a boolean value.
This doesn't work because the macro has no return value which
results in a compile error void value not ignored as it ought to be.

Introduce a config option which allows to selectively compile out
printk messages based on a specified verbosity level.

Don't rely on the return value of STK_ERROR which is a wrapper
around printk use a normal if clause instead.

Use the unfiltered variant in cases where the return value
is of interest.

A later patch will #undef printk because the macro would otherwise
conflict with the function definition. Moving the printk function
to the end of the file makes sure that the macro is expanded within
the rest of the file.

The standard printk function will be wrapped by a macro.
However this doesn't work in all situations (for example
when the return value of printk is of interest). We
therefore provide a new function which is just an alias
to printk and therefore bypasses the macro.

Take a look
the next
version of the patch will contain even less changes to the rest of the
kernel.
I haven't looked over this patch series yet but does it work with the
pr_level macros (pr_info, pr_err, etc.)?
It should work, yes.

Marc

The standard printk function will be wrapped by a macro which
filters out messages above a certain verbosity level. Because
this might not be desired in certain situations we provide an
unfiltered variant.
