Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:

- Add a console_msg_format command line option:

The value "default" keeps the old "[time stamp] text\n" format. The
value "syslog" allows to see the syslog-like "<log
level>[timestamp] text" format.

This feature was requested by people doing regression tests, for
example, 0day robot. They want to have both filtered and full logs
at hands.

- Reduce the risk of softlockup:

Pass the console owner in a busy loop.

This is a new approach to the old problem. It was first proposed by
Steven Rostedt on Kernel Summit 2017. It marks a context in which
the console_lock owner calls console drivers and could not sleep.
On the other side, printk() callers could detect this state and use
a busy wait instead of a simple console_trylock(). Finally, the
console_lock owner checks if there is a busy waiter at the end of
the special context and eventually passes the console_lock to the
waiter.

The hand-off works surprisingly well and helps in many situations.
Well, there is still a possibility of the softlockup, for example,
when the flood of messages stops and the last owner still has too
much to flush.

There is increasing number of people having problems with
printk-related softlockups. We might eventually need to get better
solution. Anyway, this looks like a good start and promising
direction.

- Do not allow to schedule in console_unlock() called from printk():

This reverts an older controversial commit. The reschedule helped
to avoid softlockups. But it also slowed down the console output.
This patch is obsoleted by the new console waiter logic described
above. In fact, the reschedule made the hand-off less effective.

- Deprecate "%pf" and "%pF" format specifier:

It was needed on ia64, ppc64 and parisc64 to dereference function
descriptors and show the real function address. It is done
transparently by "%ps" and "pS" format specifier now.

Sergey Senozhatsky found that all the function descriptors were in
a special elf section and could be easily detected.

- Remove printk_symbol() API:

It has been obsoleted by "%pS" format specifier, and this change
helped to remove few continuous lines and a less intuitive old API.

- Remove redundant memsets:

Sergey removed unnecessary memset when processing printk.devkmsg
command line option.
