staging: android: logger: Allow a UID to read it's own log entries

2013-03-05T08:38:44+00:00

Modify the kernel logger to record the UID associated with
the log entries. Always allow the same UID which generated a
log message to read the log message.

Allow anyone in the logs group, or anyone with CAP_SYSLOG, to
read all log entries.

In addition, allow the client to upgrade log formats, so they
can get additional information from the kernel.

Staging: Android: logger: module_exit implementation

2012-11-27T00:01:30+00:00

This patch creates the module_exit for the android logger
so that it can be loaded and unloaded as a module.

The android logger is already declared as a tristate in the
Kconfig but the module_exit function was missing.

device_initcall works also with modprobe since include/linux/init.h:

 #define module_init(x)  __initcall(x);
 ...
 #define __initcall(fn) device_initcall(fn)

Tested against f4a75d2eb7b1e2206094b901be09adb31ba63681 Linux 3.7-rc6

staging: android: logger: Allocate logs dynamically at boot (v3)

2012-05-10T22:40:56+00:00

This changes the log initialization to be dynamic, but still
at boot time.  These changes are a predecessor to implementing
runtime allocation and freeing of logs, to make the Android logger
less hard-coded.

Change from a fixed set of static log structures, to allocation
at init time into a list.  Return proper error numbers on log
allocation failure.

staging: logger: hold mutex while removing reader

2012-02-24T20:03:14+00:00

The readers list is traversed under the log->mutex lock
(for example from fix_up_readers()), but the deletion of
elements from this list is not being done under this lock.
