[PATCH v2] arch/x86: get rid of KERN_CONT in show_fault_oops()

From: Dmitry Vyukov
Date: Mon Jun 25 2018 - 08:38:17 EST


From: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@xxxxxxxxxx>

KERN_CONT leads to split lines in kernel output
and complicates useful changes to printk like
printing context before each line.

Only acceptable use of continuations is basically
boot-time testing.

Get rid of it.

Signed-off-by: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@xxxxxxxxxx>

Changes since v1:
- use pr_alert() instead of printk(KERN_ALERT)
