Merge tag 'printk-for-6.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux
Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
- Another preparation step for introducing printk kthreads. The main
piece is a per-console lock with several features:
- Support three priorities: normal, emergency, and panic. They will
be defined by a context where the lock is taken. A context with a
higher priority is allowed to take over the lock from a context
with a lower one.
The plan is to use the emergency context for Oops and WARN()
messages, and also by watchdogs.
The panic() context will be used on panic CPU.
- The owner might enter/exit regions where it is not safe to take
over the lock. It allows the take over the lock a safe way in the
middle of a message.
For example, serial drivers emit characters one by one. And the
serial port is in a safe state in between.
Only the final console_flush_in_panic() will be allowed to take
over the lock even in the unsafe state (last chance, pray, and
hope).
- A higher priority context might busy wait with a timeout. The
current owner is informed about the waiter and releases the lock
on exit from the unsafe state.
- The new lock is safe even in atomic contexts, including NMI.
Another change is a safe manipulation of per-console sequence number
counter under the new lock.
- simple_strntoull() micro-optimization
- Reduce pr_flush() pooling time.
- Calm down false warning about possible buffer invalid access to
console buffers when CONFIG_PRINTK is disabled.
[ .. and Thomas Gleixner wants to point out that while several of the
commits are attributed to him, he only authored the early versions of
said commits, and that John Ogness and Petr Mladek have been the ones
who sorted out the details and really should be those who get the
credit - Linus ]

README
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 Restructured Text 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.
