Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] printk: replace ringbuffer

Hello,

Here is a v3 for the first series to rework the printk
subsystem. The v2 and history are here [0]. This first series
only replaces the existing ringbuffer implementation. No locking
is removed. No semantics/behavior of printk are changed.

Reviews on the ringbuffer are still ongoing, but I was asked to
post this new version since several changes from v2 have been
already agreed upon.

The series is based on v5.8-rc1.

The list of changes since v2:

printk.c
========

- console_unlock(): fix extended console printing [1]

printk_ringbuffer
=================

- data_push_tail(): fixed handling when another CPU already
  pushed the tail [2]

- desc_push_tail(): added a full memory barrier before the
  descriptor tail push [3]

- data_make_reusable()/data_alloc(): changed block ID
  reading/writing from READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() to regular
  assignments [4]

- data_make_reusable(): removed unnecessary data tail
  re-check [5]

- general: folded all smp_mb() and smp_wmb() calls into their
  neighboring cmpxchg_relaxed(), changing them to full cmpxchg()
  calls [6]

- desc_read(): changed descriptor content reading from
  READ_ONCE() to memcpy() since it served no purpose for the
  legal data race

- general: cleaned up memory barrier comments; in particular
  made sure that the reader and writer sides of the memory
  barrier pairs match in their descriptions

- added a new section in the memory barrier documentation (near
  the top of printk_ringbuffer.c) that lists all 10 memory
  barrier pairs and briefly describes what they are ordering

- _prb_read_valid(): changed the helper function to static

- general: changed block size argument type from "unsigned long"
  to "unsigned int" since a record's *_buf_size fields are of
  type "unsigned int"

- general: allow some lines to go beyond 80 characters
