There is an option to disable all printks, but many embedded<br /> developers do not use it, even when they find the space savings attractive, because<br /> they still would like to see kernel debug messages.<br /> <br /> This project would consist of researching mechanisms that could be used<br /> to automatically (at compile-time) compress the kernel's printk messages,<br /> and transparently expand them at runtime.<br /> <br /> == Related work ==<br /> * Timothy Miller did some work on this in 2003<br /> ** See http://lwn.net/Articles/28935/<br /> ** See https://lkml.org/lkml/2003/6/6/207<br /> * See also some ideas here:<br /> ** http://selenic.com/pipermail/linux-tiny/2005-June/000208.html<br /> <br /> == Scope ==<br /> Unknown - 2-4 weeks?<br /> <br /> == Contractor Candidates ==<br /> None yet.<br /> <br /> == Comments ==<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Project proposals 2012]]</div>
