ARM: Fix broken commit 0cc41e4a21d43 corrupting kernel messages
Commit 0cc41e4a21d43 (arch: remove direct definitions of KERN_<LEVEL>
uses) is broken - not enough thought was put into changing:
.asciz "string"
to
.asciz "string1" "string2"
The problem is that each string gets _separately_ NUL terminated, so
the result is a string containing:
"string1\0string2\0"
rather than:
"string1string2\0"
With our new printk levels, this ends up as - eg, KERN_DEBUG "string":
0x01 0x00 0x07 0x00 "string" 0x00
which produces lots of \x01 in the kernel log.
