[PATCH v7 5/5] printk: index: Add indexing support to dev_printk

[Chris Down]

While for most kinds of issues we have counters, tracepoints, or metrics
with a stable interface which can reliably be used to indicate issues,
in order to react to production issues quickly we sometimes need to work
with the interface which most kernel developers naturally use when
developing: printk, and printk-esques like dev_printk.

dev_printk is by far the most likely custom subsystem printk to benefit
from the printk indexing infrastructure, since niche device issues
brought about by production changes, firmware upgrades, and the like are
one of the most common things that we need printk infrastructure's
assistance to monitor.

Often these errors were never expected to practically manifest in
reality, and exhibit in code without extensive (or any) metrics present.
As such, there are typically very few options for issue detection
available to those with large fleets at the time the incident happens,
and we thus benefit strongly from monitoring netconsole in these
instances.

As such, add the infrastructure for dev_printk to be indexed in the
printk index. Even on a minimal kernel config, the coverage of the base
kernel's printk index is significantly improved:

Before:

    [root@ktst ~]# wc -l /sys/kernel/debug/printk/index/vmlinux
    4497 /sys/kernel/debug/printk/index/vmlinux

After:

    [root@ktst ~]# wc -l /sys/kernel/debug/printk/index/vmlinux
    5573 /sys/kernel/debug/printk/index/vmlinux

In terms of implementation, in order to trivially disambiguate them,
dev_printk is now a macro which wraps _dev_printk.
