//config:	  klogd is a utility which intercepts and logs all
//config:	  messages from the Linux kernel and sends the messages
//config:	  out to the 'syslogd' utility so they can be logged. If
//config:	  you wish to record the messages produced by the kernel,
//config:	  you should enable this option.

//config:	select PLATFORM_LINUX
//config:	help
//config:	  The klogd applet supports two interfaces for reading
//config:	  kernel messages. Linux provides the klogctl() interface
//config:	  which allows reading messages from the kernel ring buffer
//config:	  independently from the file system.
//config:
//config:	  If you answer 'N' here, klogd will use the more portable
//config:	  approach of reading them from /proc or a device node.
//config:	  However, this method requires the file to be available.
//config:
//config:	  If in doubt, say 'Y'.

	 * says the following about openlog and syslog:
	 * "LOG_USER
	 *  Messages generated by arbitrary processes.
	 *  This is the default facility identifier if none is specified."
	 *
	 * I believe glibc misinterpreted this text as "if openlog's
	 * third parameter is 0 (=LOG_KERN), treat it as LOG_USER".
	 * Whereas it was meant to say "if *syslog* is called with facility
	 * 0 in its 1st parameter without prior call to openlog, then perform
	 * implicit openlog(LOG_USER)".
	 *
	 * As a result of this, eh, feature, standard klogd was forced
	 * to open-code its own openlog and syslog implementation (!).
	 *
	 * Note that prohibiting openlog(LOG_KERN) on libc level does not
	 * add any security: any process can open a socket to "/dev/log"
	 * and write a string "<0>Voila, a LOG_KERN + LOG_EMERG message"
	 *
	 * Google code search tells me there is no widespread use of
	 * openlog("foo", 0, 0), thus fixing glibc won't break userspace.

	 * The bug against glibc was filed:
