[PATCH v2 0/3] printk: introduce new macros pr_<level>_cont()

[Thomas Weißschuh]

This series adds new printk wrapper macros pr_<level>_cont().
These create continuation messages with an explicit level.

Explicit levels are useful when a continuation message is split from its main
message. Without the explicit level KERN_DEFAULT ("warn" by default) is used
which can lead to stray partial log messages when filtering by level.

Also checkpatch is modified to recommend the new macros over plain pr_cont().

Lastly the new macros are used in kernel/power/process.c as this file uses
continuation messages during system suspend-resume which creates a high
likelyhood of interspersed messages.

Changelog:

This was original a single patch but was expanded into a series.
