kernel-5.15/printk-add-Kconfig-option-to-set-default-console-loglevel.patch
Evgenii Shatokhin 3663fa6899 Allow to set the default loglevel threshold for the console at build time
...And set it to 3, which should only allow to print the messages with
KERN_EMERG, KERN_ALERT and KERN_CRIT levels. This should make the boot
process less noisy.

Can be overridden with loglevel=n boot option.

Subject: [PATCH] printk: add Kconfig option to set default console loglevel
Add a configuration option to set the default console loglevel. This
is, as before, still possible to override at runtime through bootargs
(loglevel=<x>), sysrq and /proc/printk.
There are cases where adding additional arguments on the commandline is
impractical, and changing the default for the kernel when being built
makes more sense. Provide such a method here, for those who choose to
do so.
Also, while touching this code, clarify the difference between
MESSAGE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT and CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT.
