Prarit Bhargava b0f4c4b32c bugs, x86: Fix printk levels for panic, softlockups and stack dumps
rsyslog will display KERN_EMERG messages on a connected
terminal.  However, these messages are useless/undecipherable
for a general user.

For example, after a softlockup we get:

 Message from syslogd@intel-s3e37-04 at Jan 25 14:18:06 ...
 kernel:Stack:

 Message from syslogd@intel-s3e37-04 at Jan 25 14:18:06 ...
 kernel:Call Trace:

 Message from syslogd@intel-s3e37-04 at Jan 25 14:18:06 ...
 kernel:Code: ff ff a8 08 75 25 31 d2 48 8d 86 38 e0 ff ff 48 89
 d1 0f 01 c8 0f ae f0 48 8b 86 38 e0 ff ff a8 08 75 08 b1 01 4c 89 e0 0f 01 c9 <e8> ea 69 dd ff 4c 29 e8 48 89 c7 e8 0f bc da ff 49 89 c4 49 89

This happens because the printk levels for these messages are
incorrect. Only an informational message should be displayed on
a terminal.

I modified the printk levels for various messages in the kernel
and tested the output by using the drivers/misc/lkdtm.c kernel
modules (ie, softlockups, panics, hard lockups, etc.) and
confirmed that the console output was still the same and that
the output to the terminals was correct.

For example, in the case of a softlockup we now see the much
more informative:

 Message from syslogd@intel-s3e37-04 at Jan 25 10:18:06 ...
 BUG: soft lockup - CPU4 stuck for 60s!

instead of the above confusing messages.

AFAICT, the messages no longer have to be KERN_EMERG.  In the
most important case of a panic we set console_verbose().  As for
the other less severe cases the correct data is output to the
console and /var/log/messages.

Successfully tested by me using the drivers/misc/lkdtm.c module.

/*
Generic support for BUG()
This respects the following config options:
CONFIG_BUG - emit BUG traps. Nothing happens without this.
CONFIG_GENERIC_BUG - enable this code.
CONFIG_GENERIC_BUG_RELATIVE_POINTERS - use 32-bit pointers relative to
the containing struct bug_entry for bug_addr and file.
CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE - emit full file+line information for each BUG
CONFIG_BUG and CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE are potentially user-settable
(though they're generally always on).
CONFIG_GENERIC_BUG is set by each architecture using this code.
To use this, your architecture must:
1. Set up the config options:
- Enable CONFIG_GENERIC_BUG if CONFIG_BUG
2. Implement BUG (and optionally BUG_ON, WARN, WARN_ON)
- Define HAVE_ARCH_BUG
- Implement BUG() to generate a faulting instruction
- NOTE: struct bug_entry does not have "file" or "line" entries
when CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE is not enabled, so you must generate
the values accordingly.
3. Implement the trap
- In the illegal instruction trap handler (typically), verify
that the fault was in kernel mode, and call report_bug()
- report_bug() will return whether it was a false alarm, a warning,
or an actual bug.
- You must implement the is_valid_bugaddr(bugaddr) callback which
returns true if the eip is a real kernel address, and it points
to the expected BUG trap instruction.
