Subject[PATCH 0/3] clear_warn_once: add timed interval resetting
Date
The existing clear_warn_once functionality is currently a manually
issued state reset via the file /sys/kernel/debug/clear_warn_once when
debugfs is mounted. The idea being that a developer would be running
some tests, like LTP or similar, and want to check reproducibility
without having to reboot.

But you currently can't make use of clear_warn_once unless you've got
debugfs enabled and mounted - which may not be desired by some people
in some deployment situations.

The functionality added here allows for periodic resets in addition to
the one-shot reset it already had. Then we allow for a boot-time setting
of the periodic resets so it can be used even when debugfs isn't mounted.

By having a periodic reset, we also open the door for having the various
"once" functions act as long period ratelimited messages, where a sysadmin
can pick an hour or a day reset if they are facing an issue and are
wondering "did this just happen once, or am I only being informed once?"

Tested with DEBUG_FS_ALLOW_ALL and DEBUG_FS_ALLOW_NONE on an otherwise
defconfig.
