I am considering applying some variation of Greg's systemd.debug patch in our systemd ebuild. For reference: https://www.mail-archive.com/systemd-devel%40lists.freedesktop.org/msg18094.html There is currently no way to enable kernel debug output without also enabling systemd debug output -- and that really sucks. This is probably never getting applied upstream. I am willing to update/maintain the patch moving forward. Are there any strong objections to this idea?
I don't see the final (working) version of the patch there.
Concept seems like a good one to me - a bit annoying that it won't be upstreamed. What are other distros doing? The only refinement I'd suggest is that if everybody but Fedora/RHEL/CentOS is doing it a slightly different way that we do it the same way. But, like I said I agree in concept. I don't want one debug flag that makes every log on the system 100x larger.

If you would like to review what I come up with, that's not a problem. I'm looking for feedback on the idea at this point.

Created attachment 382160 [details, diff] Ignore 'debug' kernel parameter Seems that part of the effected code has been removed, so the ML patches are no longer valid. Here's a patch that works.

I checked the Debian, Arch, and Fedora git repos, and did not find any indication that they are doing something similar.
