[PATCH] kernel/reboot: enhance dmesg logging for system restart

From: Faiyaz Mohammed
Date: Fri Jun 07 2024 - 06:59:48 EST


It is useful to add the PID and Comm information along with command info.

Currently, when system reboot kernel logs don not print PID and Comm:

reboot: Restarting system with command 'reboot,scheduled_reboot'
reboot: Restarting system with command 'RescueParty'
reboot: Restarting system with command 'bootloader'
reboot: Restarting system with command 'recovery'
reboot: Restarting system with command 'userrequested,recovery’

For Example after adding PID and Comm:

reboot: PID: 1 Comm: init Restarting system with command 'shell'
reboot: PID: 1 Comm: init Restarting system with command 'bootloader'
