    printk: allocate kernel log buffer earlier · 162a7e75
    Mike Travis authored
    On larger systems, because of the numerous ACPI, Bootmem and EFI messages,
    the static log buffer overflows before the larger one specified by the
    log_buf_len param is allocated.  Minimize the overflow by allocating the
    new log buffer as soon as possible.
    
    On kernels without memblock, a later call to setup_log_buf from
    kernel/init.c is the fallback.
