[PATCH 1/2] powerpc: Fix xmon dl command for new printk implementation

Michael Ellerman michael at ellerman.id.au
Fri Aug 24 18:09:12 EST 2012


Since the printk internals were reworked the xmon 'dl' command which
dumps the content of __log_buf has stopped working.

It is now a structured buffer, so just dumping it doesn't really work.

Use the helpers added for kgdb to print out the content.
