panic: add 'panic_sys_info' sysctl to take human readable string parameter
Bitmap definition for 'panic_print' is hard to remember and decode. Add 'panic_sys_info='sysctl to take human readable string like "tasks,mem,timers,locks,ftrace,..." and translate it into bitmap. The detailed mapping is: SYS_INFO_TASKS "tasks" SYS_INFO_MEM "mem" SYS_INFO_TIMERS "timers" SYS_INFO_LOCKS "locks" SYS_INFO_FTRACE "ftrace" SYS_INFO_ALL_CPU_BT "all_bt" SYS_INFO_BLOCKED_TASKS "blocked_tasks" [nathan@kernel.org: add __maybe_unused to sys_info_avail] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20250708-fix-clang-sys_info_avail-warning-v1-1-60d239eacd64@kernel.org Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20250703021004.42328-4-feng.tang@linux.alibaba.com Signed-off-by: Feng Tang <feng.tang@linux.alibaba.com> Suggested-by: Petr Mladek <pmladek@suse.com> Cc: John Ogness <john.ogness@linutronix.de> Cc: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Cc: Lance Yang <lance.yang@linux.dev> Cc: "Paul E .
