Subject: [GIT PULL] printk for 6.9

Hi Linus,

please pull the latest printk changes from

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux.git tags/printk-for-6.9

========================================

Printk changes for 6.9 improve the behavior during panic. The issues were
found when testing the ongoing changes introducing atomic consoles and
printk kthreads.

- pr_flush() has to wait for the last reserved record instead
of the last finalized one. Note that records are finalized
in random order when generated by more CPUs in parallel.

- Ignore non-finalized records during panic(). Messages printed
on panic-CPU are always finalized. Messages printed by other
CPUs might never be finalized when the CPUs get stopped.

- Block new printk() calls on non-panic CPUs completely. Backtraces
are printed before entering the panic mode. Later messages
would just mess information printed by the panic CPU.

- Do not take console_lock in console_flush_on_panic() at all.
The original code did try_lock()/console_unlock(). The unlock part
might cause a deadlock when panic() happened in a scheduler code.

- Fix conversion of 64-bit sequence number for 32-bit atomic
operations.

----------------------------------------------------------------
John Ogness (12):
printk: nbcon: Relocate 32bit seq macros
printk: Use prb_first_seq() as base for 32bit seq macros
printk: ringbuffer: Do not skip non-finalized records with prb_next_seq()
printk: ringbuffer: Clarify special lpos values
printk: For @suppress_panic_printk check for other CPU in panic
printk: Add this_cpu_in_panic()
printk: ringbuffer: Cleanup reader terminology
printk: Wait for all reserved records with pr_flush()
printk: ringbuffer: Skip non-finalized records in panic
printk: Avoid non-panic CPUs writing to ringbuffer
panic: Flush kernel log buffer at the end
dump_stack: Do not get cpu_sync for panic CPU

Petr Mladek (1):
printk: Disable passing console lock owner completely during panic()

Sebastian Andrzej Siewior (1):
printk: Adjust mapping for 32bit seq macros
