kmsg: export printk records to the /dev/kmsg interface
Support for multiple concurrent readers of /dev/kmsg, with read(), seek(), poll() support. Output of message sequence numbers, to allow userspace log consumers to reliably reconnect and reconstruct their state at any given time. After open("/dev/kmsg"), read() always returns *all* buffered records. If only future messages should be read, SEEK_END can be used. In case records get overwritten while /dev/kmsg is held open, or records get faster overwritten than they are read, the next read() will return -EPIPE and the current reading position gets updated to the next available record. The passed sequence numbers allow the log consumer to calculate the amount of lost messages.

* length of the message text is stored in the header, the stored message

*
+ * Optionally, a message can carry a dictionary of properties (key/value pairs),
+ * to provide userspace with a machine-readable message context.
+ *
+ * Examples for well-defined, commonly used property names are:
+ * DEVICE=b12:8 device identifier
+ * b12:8 block dev_t
+ * c127:3 char dev_t
+ * n8 netdev ifindex
+ * +sound:card0 subsystem:devname
+ * SUBSYSTEM=pci driver-core subsystem name
+ *
+ * Valid characters in property names are [a-zA-Z0-9.-_]. The plain text value
+ * follows directly after a '=' character. Every property is terminated by
+ * a '\0' character. The last property is not terminated.
+ *
+ * Example of a message structure:
+ * 0000 ff 8f 00 00 00 00 00 00 monotonic time in nsec
+ * 0008 34 00 record is 52 bytes long
+ * 000a 0b 00 text is 11 bytes long
+ * 000c 1f 00 dictionary is 23 bytes long
+ * 000e 03 00 LOG_KERN (facility) LOG_ERR (level)

+ * 67 "g"
+ * 0032 00 00 00 padding to next message header
+ *
+ * The 'struct log' buffer header must never be directly exported to
+ * userspace, it is a kernel-private implementation detail that might
+ * need to be changed in the future, when the requirements change.
+ *
+ * /dev/kmsg exports the structured data in the following line format:
+ * "level,sequnum,timestamp;<message text>\n"
+ *
+ * The optional key/value pairs are attached as continuation lines starting
+ * with a space character and terminated by a newline. All possible
+ * non-prinatable characters are escaped in the "\xff" notation.
+ *
+ * Users of the export format should ignore possible additional values
+ * separated by ',', and find the message after the ';' character.
