Subject[PATCH printk v5 0/8] printk: cleanup buffer handling
Date
Hi,

This is v5 of a series to cleanup console buffer handling and
prepare for code sharing with the upcoming threaded/atomic
consoles. v4 is here [0].

The main purpose of the series is to introduce two new lockless
functions to handle reading and formatting of printk messages. These
functions can then be used from any context, which is important for
the upcoming threaded/atomic consoles. The series also helps to
cleanup some of the internal printk interfaces and cleanly separate
formatting code from outputting code.

Changes since v4:

- Make console_prepend_dropped() a NOP for !CONFIG_PRINTK to
workaround compiler warnings.

- In devkmsg_read() use printk_get_next_message() for the wait
condition instead of looping to retry the actual read.

- Add an argument @may_suppress to printk_get_next_message() so
devkmsg_read() can specify that records should not be skipped
based on loglevel.
