Merge tag 'printk-for-6.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:

 - Add NMI-safe SRCU reader API. It uses atomic_inc() instead of
   this_cpu_inc() on strong load-store architectures.

 - Introduce new console_list_lock to synchronize a manipulation of the
   list of registered consoles and their flags.

   This is a first step in removing the big-kernel-lock-like behavior of
   console_lock(). This semaphore still serializes console->write()
   calbacks against:

      - each other. It primary prevents potential races between early
        and proper console drivers using the same device.

      - suspend()/resume() callbacks and init() operations in some
        drivers.

      - various other operations in the tty/vt and framebufer
        susbsystems. It is likely that console_lock() serializes even
        operations that are not directly conflicting with the
        console->write() callbacks here. This is the most complicated
        big-kernel-lock aspect of the console_lock() that will be hard
        to untangle.

 - Introduce new console_srcu lock that is used to safely iterate and
   access the registered console drivers under SRCU read lock.

   This is a prerequisite for introducing atomic console drivers and
   console kthreads. It will reduce the complexity of serialization
   against normal consoles and console_lock(). Also it should remove the
   risk of deadlock during critical situations, like Oops or panic, when
   only atomic consoles are registered.

 - Check whether the console is registered instead of enabled on many
   locations. It was a historical leftover.

 - Cleanly force a preferred console in xenfb code instead of a dirty
   hack.

 - A lot of code and comment clean ups and improvements.
