[PATCH net-next v1 0/8] netconsole: Add userdata append support

[Matthew Wood]

Add the ability to add custom userdata to every outbound netconsole message
as a collection of key/value pairs, allowing users to add metadata to every
netconsole message which can be used for  for tagging, filtering, and
aggregating log messages.

In a previous patch series the ability to prepend the uname release was
added towards the goals above. This patch series builds on that
idea to allow any userdata, keyed by a user provided name, to be
included in netconsole messages.

If CONFIG_NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC is enabled an additional userdata
directory will be presented in the netconsole configfs tree, allowing
the addition of userdata entries.

    /sys/kernel/config/netconsole/
			<target>/
				enabled
				release
				dev_name
				local_port
				remote_port
				local_ip
				remote_ip
				local_mac
				remote_mac
				userdata/
					<key>/
						value
					<key>/
						value
          ...

Testing for this series is as follows:

Build every patch without CONFIG_NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC, and also built
with CONFIG_NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC enabled for every patch after the config
option was added

Test Userdata configfs

    # Adding userdata
    cd /sys/kernel/config/netconsole/ && mkdir cmdline0 && cd cmdline0
    mkdir userdata/release && echo hotfix1 > userdata/release/value
    preview=$(for f in `ls userdata`; do echo $f=$(cat userdata/$f/value); done)
    [[ "$preview" == $'release=hotfix1' ]] && echo pass || echo fail
    mkdir userdata/testing && echo something > userdata/testing/value
    preview=$(for f in `ls userdata`; do echo $f=$(cat userdata/$f/value); done)
    [[ "$preview" == $'release=hotfix1\ntesting=something' ]] && echo pass || echo fail
    #
    # Removing Userdata
    rmdir userdata/testing
    preview=$(for f in `ls userdata`; do echo $f=$(cat userdata/$f/value); done)
    [[ "$preview" == $'release=hotfix1' ]] && echo pass || echo fail
    rmdir userdata/release
    [[ `cat userdata/complete` == $'release=hotfix1' ]] && echo pass || echo fail
    #
    # Adding userdata key with too large of 6.7.0-rc8-virtme,12,481,17954104,-directory name [<54 chars]
    mkdir userdata/testing12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890
    [[ $? == 1 ]] && echo pass || echo fail
    #
    # Adding userdata value with too large of value [<200 chars]
    mkdir userdata/testing
    echo `for i in {1..201};do printf "%s" "v";done` > userdata/testing/value
    [[ $? == 1 ]] && echo pass || echo fail
    rmdir userdata/testing

- Output:
