Subject: [PATCH] core: try to reopen /dev/kmsg again right after mounting /dev
b9a53a
b9a53a
I was debugging stuff during early boot, and was confused that I never
b9a53a
found the logs for it in kmsg. The reason for that was that /proc is
b9a53a
generally not mounted the first time we do log_open() and hence
b9a53a
log_set_target(LOG_TARGET_KMSG) we do when running as PID 1 had not
b9a53a
effect. A lot later during start-up we call log_open() again where this
b9a53a
is fixed (after the point where we close all remaining fds still open),
b9a53a
but in the meantime no logs every got written to kmsg. This patch fixes
b9a53a
that.
