This patch adds a new panic screen, with a QR code and the kmsg data embedded. If DRM_PANIC_SCREEN_QR_CODE_URL is set, then the kmsg data will be compressed with zlib and encoded as a numerical segment, and appended to the URL as a URL parameter. This allows to save space, and put about ~7500 bytes of kmsg data, in a V40 QR code. Linux distributions can customize the URL, and put a web frontend to directly open a bug report with the kmsg data. Otherwise the kmsg data will be encoded as a binary segment (ie raw ascii) and only a maximum of 2953 bytes of kmsg data will be available in the QR code. You can also limit the QR code size with DRM_PANIC_SCREEN_QR_VERSION.

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 reStructuredText 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.
