Subject: [PATCH printk v2 18/26] printk: nbcon: Add unsafe flushing on panic
Date: Sun, 18 Feb 2024 20:03:18 +0106

Add nbcon_atomic_flush_unsafe() to flush all nbcon consoles
using the write_atomic() callback and allowing unsafe hostile
takeovers. Call this at the end of panic() as a final attempt
to flush any pending messages.

Note that legacy consoles use unsafe methods for flushing
from the beginning of panic (see bust_spinlocks()). Therefore,
systems using both legacy and nbcon consoles may still fail to
see panic messages due to unsafe legacy console usage.
