Subject: feat: add kernel log ring buffer to kprintf (printk-style dmesg support)
X-Git-Url: https://projects.tadryanom.me/sitemap.xml?a=commitdiff_plain;h=24a96af57b2c86496e8fc59aa7733a1cab5cc11e;p=AdrOS.git

feat: add kernel log ring buffer to kprintf (printk-style dmesg support)

Like Linux's printk, kprintf() now writes every formatted message
into a 16KB circular ring buffer (klog_buf) before dispatching to
console drivers (UART, VGA). This allows old messages to be
retrieved later via klog_read(), enabling dmesg functionality.

Design:
- 16KB static ring buffer (KLOG_BUF_SIZE)
- klog_head tracks next write position, klog_count tracks fill
- klog_append() writes into ring, capping at buffer size
- klog_read(out, size) copies oldest-to-newest into caller buffer
- Protected by dedicated klog_lock spinlock

Flow: kprintf() -> kvsnprintf() -> klog_append() -> console_write()

Passes: make, cppcheck, QEMU smoke test.
