    Merge tag 'printk-for-4.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk · b125d903
    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
    
     - Different vendors have a different expectation about a console
       quietness. Make it configurable to reduce bike-shedding about the
       upstream default
    
     - Decide about the message visibility when the message is stored. It
       avoids races caused by a delayed console handling
    
     - Always store printk() messages into the per-CPU buffers again in NMI.
       The only exception is when flushing trace log in panic(). There the
       risk of loosing messages is worth an eventual reordering
    
     - Handle invalid %pO printf modifiers correctly
    
     - Better handle %p printf modifier tests before crng is initialized
    
     - Some clean up
