Enhance boot debugging by allowing the "bootdebug" kernel parameter to
accept an optional comma-separated list of prefixes. Only debug messages
starting with these prefixes will be printed during boot. For example:
bootdebug=startup,vmem
Not specifying a filter for the "bootdebug" parameter prints all debug
messages. The `boot_fmt` macro can be defined to set a common prefix:
#define boot_fmt(fmt) "startup: " fmt

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.
