From: Martin Peschke Separate the timestamp code out from printk. Thus, other components, like the statistics infrastructure, can also make use of it and provide similar timestamps. It just makes sense to have one timestamp format throughout the kernel. The original piece of code was a bit promiscuous, IMHO. Please accept the little cleanup that comes with my patch. And I think that I have fixed a printed_len related miscalculation. printed_len needs to be increased if no valid log level has been found and a log level prefix has been added by printk(). Otherwise, printed_len must not be increased. The old code did it the other way around (in the timestamp case). Signed-off-by: Martin Peschke DESC restore correct print_len calculation in printk EDESC From: Martin Peschke This fixes the following miscalculation that has been introduced by my statistics-infrastructure-prerequisite-timestamp.patch: print_len loses 3 in the 'got log level'-case due to a surplus substraction. It also loses 3 in the other case due to adding a log level substring that is not entered in the books.
