Merge tag 'printk-for-5.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux
Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
- Optionally, provide an index of possible printk messages via
<debugfs>/printk/index/. It can be used when monitoring important
kernel messages on a farm of various hosts. The monitor has to be
updated when some messages has changed or are not longer available by
a newly deployed kernel.
- Add printk.console_no_auto_verbose boot parameter. It allows to
generate crash dump even with slow consoles in a reasonable time
frame.
- Remove printk_safe buffers. The messages are always stored directly
to the main logbuffer, even in NMI or recursive context. Also it
allows to serialize syslog operations by a mutex instead of a spin
lock.
- Misc clean up and build fixes.
