[Bug 327819] Re: Main Inclusion Report/Request

[Jim Lieb]

I have attached a kernel module (out of tree build) that can do oops, bug, warn, and panic on demand.  It is not
part of the mainline nor is it in a kernel package at this point, mainly because it should be for internal testing _only_.
README and build script included.

In addition, I noticed today that for some reason, key portions of the oops/bug messages are not sent to 
/var/log/messages.  They are placed in /var/log/kern.log however.  The impact of this is that the log scanner cannot
find the start of the sequence.  Since the use of "/var/log/messages", either the kerneloops code has to be changed
by adding an additional conf file parameter or /etc/syslog.conf has to be changed to send all kernel messages to
/var/log/messages rather than the select set it does now:

*.=info;*.=notice;*.=warning;\
        auth,authpriv.none;\
        cron,daemon.none;\
        mail,news.none          -/var/log/messages

It would be a good idea to change the url to point elsewhere than
kerneloops.org when testing...
