Public bug reported:

VERSION="13.10, Saucy Salamander"
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 13.10"
VERSION_ID="13.10"

vmlinux-3.11.0-5-powerpc-e500mc


When SysRQ is enabled through  /proc :

  
  echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq

 
All responses from SysRQ  sequences are redirected to /var/log/syslog , not the 
serial console. 

For instance:

 SySRQ ( break )  l

Is suppose to report CPU stack traces .  The summary is sent to 
v/var/log/syslog , not the serial port, which 
defeats the entire purpose of SysRQ feature which is intended for diagnostics 
of server issues.

The logging behavior can redirected to the console by using :

 dmesg --console-on

This should be the default behavior for ppc ; It is also how x86 has
worked in the past.
