Merge branch 'netconsole-userdata-append'

Matthew Wood says:

====================
netconsole: Add userdata append support

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
          ...

v1->v2:
 * Updated netconsole_target docs, kdoc is now clean
v2->v3:
 * Remove inline keyword from to_userdat* functions
 * Break up some lines that exceeded 80 chars
 * Replace typos and remove {} from single line if statement
 * Remove unused variable

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" == $'release=hotfix1' ]] && echo pass || echo fail
    rmdir userdata/release
    preview=$(for f in `ls userdata`; do echo $f=$(cat userdata/$f/value); done)
    [[ "$preview" == $'' ]] && 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:

    cd /sys/kernel/config/netconsole/ && mkdir cmdline0
    mkdir cmdline0/userdata/empty

Append User Data
----------------
Custom user data can be appended to the end of messages with netconsole
dynamic configuration enabled. User data entries can be modified without
changing the "enabled" attribute of a target.
Directories (keys) under `userdata` are limited to 54 character length, and
data in `userdata/<key>/value` are limited to 200 bytes::
cd /sys/kernel/config/netconsole && mkdir cmdline0
cd cmdline0
mkdir userdata/foo
echo bar > userdata/foo/value
mkdir userdata/qux
echo baz > userdata/qux/value
Messages will now include this additional user data::
echo "This is a message" > /dev/kmsg
Sends::
12,607,22085407756,-;This is a message
foo=bar
qux=baz
Preview the userdata that will be appended with::
cd /sys/kernel/config/netconsole/cmdline0/userdata
for f in `ls userdata`; do echo $f=$(cat userdata/$f/value); done
If a `userdata` entry is created but no data is written to the `value` file,
the entry will be omitted from netconsole messages::
cd /sys/kernel/config/netconsole && mkdir cmdline0
cd cmdline0
mkdir userdata/foo
echo bar > userdata/foo/value
mkdir userdata/qux
The `qux` key is omitted since it has no value::
echo "This is a message" > /dev/kmsg
12,607,22085407756,-;This is a message
foo=bar
Delete `userdata` entries with `rmdir`::
rmdir /sys/kernel/config/netconsole/cmdline0/userdata/qux
.. warning::
When writing strings to user data values, input is broken up per line in
configfs store calls and this can cause confusing behavior::
mkdir userdata/testing
printf "val1\nval2" > userdata/testing/value
# userdata store value is called twice, first with "val1\n" then "val2"
# so "val2" is stored, being the last value stored
cat userdata/testing/value
val2
It is recommended to not write user data values with newlines.
