The current logging methods typically end up requesting a reproduction with a different logging level set to figure out what happened. This was mainly by design to not clutter the kernel log messages with things that were typically not interesting and the messages themselves could cause other issues. When looking to make a better system, it was seen that in many cases when more data was wanted was when another message, usually at KERN_ERR level, was logged. And in most cases, what the additional logging that was then enabled was typically. Most of these areas fell into the discovery machine. Based on this summary, the following design has been put in place: The driver will maintain an internal log (256 elements of 256 bytes). The "additional logging" messages that are usually enabled in a reproduction will be changed to now log all the time to the internal log. A new logging level is defined - LOG_TRACE_EVENT. When this level is set (it is not by default) and a message marked as KERN_ERR is logged, all the messages in the internal log will be dumped to the kernel log before the KERN_ERR message is logged. There is a timestamp on each message added to the internal log. However, this timestamp is not converted to wall time when logged. The value of the timestamp is solely to give a crude time reference for the messages.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
