Subject: feat: add dmesg command to kernel shell
X-Git-Url: https://projects.tadryanom.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3309751490abd289d97e5d810509a38f2058ba8f;p=AdrOS.git

feat: add dmesg command to kernel shell

Reads the kernel log ring buffer via klog_read() and prints it
to the UART console, allowing users to review boot messages and
earlier kprintf output — just like Linux's dmesg command.

Passes: make, cppcheck, QEMU smoke test.
