+ help
+ Add support for indexing of all printk formats known at compile time
+ at <debugfs>/printk/index/<module>.
+
+ This can be used as part of maintaining daemons which monitor
+ /dev/kmsg, as it permits auditing the printk formats present in a
+ kernel, allowing detection of cases where monitored printks are
+ changed or no longer present.
+
+ There is no additional runtime cost to printk with this enabled.
