show_trace_log_lvl() provides x86 platform-specific way to unwind backtrace with a given log level. Unfortunately, registers dump(s) are not printed with the same log level - instead, KERN_DEFAULT is always used. Arista's switches uses quite common setup with rsyslog, where only urgent messages goes to console (console_log_level=KERN_ERR), everything else goes into /var/log/ as the console baud-rate often is indecently slow (9600 bps). Backtrace dumps without registers printed have proven to be as useful as morning standups. Furthermore, in order to introduce KERN_UNSUPPRESSED (which I believe is still the most elegant way to fix raciness of sysrq[1]) the log level should be passed down the stack to register dumping functions. Besides, there is a potential use-case for printing traces with KERN_DEBUG level [2] (where registers dump shouldn't appear with higher log level). Add log_lvl parameter to __show_regs(). Keep the used log level intact to separate visible change.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
