Both patches should go into mainline together with the lockless printk
ring buffer. It is already in linux-next via printk/linux.git,
branch printk-rework.

The plan is to get it into mainline when pr_cont() handling is solved.
It is more complicated than we hoped for, see
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200824103538.31446-1-john.ogness@linutronix.de
It is still not clear whether it will be ready for 5.10.

Andrew, would you mind when I take the three gdb/lockless-printk
related changes via printk tree to avoid synchronization problems?

Best Regards,
Petr
