From: Borislav Petkov <***@suse.de>
Add a "printk.kmsg" kernel command line parameter which controls how
userspace writes into /dev/kmsg. It has three options:
* ratelimit - ratelimit logging from userspace.
* on - unlimited logging from userspace
* off - logging from userspace gets ignored
The default setting is to ratelimit the messages written to it.
It additionally does not limit logging to /dev/kmsg while the system is
booting if we haven't disabled it on the command line.
This patch is based on previous patches from Linus and Steven.
In addition, we can control the logging from a lower priority
sysctl interface - kernel.printk_kmsg={0,1,2} - with numeric values
corresponding to the options above.
That interface will succeed only if printk.kmsg *hasn't* been supplied
on the command line. If it has, then printk.kmsg is a one-time setting
which remains for the duration of the system lifetime.
