The KMSG_COMPONENT macro is a leftover of the s390 specific "kernel message catalog" from 2008 [1] which never made it upstream. The macro was added to s390 code to allow for an out-of-tree patch which used this to generate unique message ids. Also this out-of-tree patch doesn't exist anymore. The pattern of how the KMSG_COMPONENT macro is used can also be found at some non s390 specific code, for whatever reasons. Besides adding an indirection it is unused. Remove the macro in order to get rid of a pointless indirection. Replace all users with the string it defines. In all cases this leads to a simple replacement like this: - #define KMSG_COMPONENT "af_iucv" - #define pr_fmt(fmt) KMSG_COMPONENT ": " fmt + #define pr_fmt(fmt) "af_iucv: " fmt [1] https://lwn.net/Articles/292650/ Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <hca@linux.ibm.com> Acked-by: Alexandra Winter <wintera@linux.ibm.com> Acked-by: Julian Anastasov <ja@ssi.bg> Acked-by: Sidraya Jayagond <sidraya@linux.ibm.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20251126140705.1944278-1-hca@linux.ibm.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> |

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 reStructuredText 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.
