Linus Torvalds 7d91de7443 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk
Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:

 - Add Petr Mladek, Sergey Senozhatsky as printk maintainers, and Steven
   Rostedt as the printk reviewer. This idea came up after the
   discussion about printk issues at Kernel Summit. It was formulated
   and discussed at lkml[1].

 - Extend a lock-less NMI per-cpu buffers idea to handle recursive
   printk() calls by Sergey Senozhatsky[2]. It is the first step in
   sanitizing printk as discussed at Kernel Summit.

   The change allows to see messages that would normally get ignored or
   would cause a deadlock.

   Also it allows to enable lockdep in printk(). This already paid off.
   The testing in linux-next helped to discover two old problems that
   were hidden before[3][4].

 - Remove unused parameter by Sergey Senozhatsky. Clean up after a past
   change.
