[PATCH v3 10/11] syslog_ns: implement ns_console_unlock for specific syslog_ns

From: Rui Xiang
Date: Wed Aug 07 2013 - 03:38:31 EST


While monitoring embedded devices that provide access
to the console over a serial port, in order to obtain
kernel logs from containers, it is necessary to include
consoles in the syslog_ns.

This patch adds a new interface named ns_console_unlock,
and use syslog ns as a parameter to dispaly logs from
current syslog namespace on cosoles, not just init_
syslog_ns.
