kmsg: escape the backslash character while exporting data
Non-printable characters in the log data are hex-escaped to ensure safe post processing. We need to escape a backslash we find in the data, to be able to distinguish it from a backslash we add for the escaping. Also escape the non-printable character 127. Thanks to Miloslav Trmac for the heads up. Reported-by: Michael Neuling <mikey@neuling.org> Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
