Subject: [PATCH] core: try to reopen /dev/kmsg again right after mounting /dev
4fbe94
4fbe94
I was debugging stuff during early boot, and was confused that I never
4fbe94
found the logs for it in kmsg. The reason for that was that /proc is
4fbe94
generally not mounted the first time we do log_open() and hence
4fbe94
log_set_target(LOG_TARGET_KMSG) we do when running as PID 1 had not
4fbe94
effect. A lot later during start-up we call log_open() again where this
4fbe94
is fixed (after the point where we close all remaining fds still open),
4fbe94
but in the meantime no logs every got written to kmsg. This patch fixes
4fbe94
that.
