We should:

+ Flush the latest messages before we replay the log.

+ Show some header line before replaing the log.


Therefore, I would keep console_flush_on_panic() as is.
Then I would add:

int console_replay;

void console_replay_on_panic(void)
{
/*
* If someone else is holding the console lock, trylock will fail
* and may_schedule may be set. Ignore and proceed to unlock so
* that messages are flushed out. As this can be called from any
* context and we don't want to get preempted while flushing,
* ensure may_schedule is cleared.
*/
console_trylock();
console_may_schedule = 0;
console_replay = 1;
console_unlock();
}

Then I would update cosole_unlock() with something like:

diff --git a/kernel/printk/printk.c b/kernel/printk/printk.c
index 02ca827b8fac..14ef4e2431e7 100644
--- a/kernel/printk/printk.c

if (console_seq < log_first_seq) {
len = sprintf(text,
"** %llu printk messages dropped **\n",
log_first_seq - console_seq);

/* messages are gone, move to first one */

+

+ }
+
+ if (reset_idx) {
console_seq = log_first_seq;
console_idx = log_first_idx;
- } else {
- len = 0;
}
skip:
if (console_seq == log_next_seq)

Finally, it can get called from panic_print_sys_info(void)
the following way:

/* Replay existing messages before adding other sys info. */
if (panic_print & PANIC_PRINT_ALL_PRINTK_MSG)
console_replay_on_panic();


Best Regards,
Petr
