Log buffer entries that are too long for dump_log_buf()'s small local buffer are: * silently discarded when a single-line entry is too long; kmsg_dump_get_line() returns true but sets &len to 0. * silently truncated to the last fitting new line when a multi-line entry is too long, e.g. register dumps from __show_regs(); this seems undetectable via the kmsg_dump API. xmon_printf()'s internal buffer is already 1KB; enlarge dump_log_buf()'s own buffer to match and make it statically allocated. Verified that this allows complete printing of register dumps on ppc64le with both CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME=y and CONFIG_PRINTK_CALLER=y.

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.
