From fac97ae0b1a206e2952baf1f9eb46305d673adc6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso Date: Thu, 22 Sep 2005 21:44:22 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] uml: replace printk with "stack-friendly" printf - to report console failure User get *a lot* confused when consoles don't work but we don't report anything. And, as reported in the comment, using printk to report "your console doesn't work" isn't likely to go that far. Fix the problem on the base of this: stack consumption by host printf(). Use kernel sprintf() and os_write_file, using a wild guess that one page will be enough for the message, to preallocate the buffer with kmalloc().
