Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 0/2] printk: new ringbuffer implementation

Hello,

This is a follow-up RFC on the work to reimplement much of
the core of printk. The original thread can be seen here[0].

One of the results of that thread was that the work needs to
be broken up into several pieces. A roadmap was laid out[1]
and this RFC is for the base component of the first piece:
a new ringbuffer implementation for printk.

This series does not touch any existing printk code. It is
only the ringbuffer implementation. I am particularly
interested in feedback relating to the design of the
ringbuffer and the use of memory barriers.

The series also includes a test module that performs some
heavy writer stress testing. I have successfully run these
tests on a 16-core ARM64 platform.
