      Merge tag 'printk-for-5.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux · d3eb5211

      Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
      
       - Finally allow parallel writes and reads into/from the lockless
         ringbuffer. But it is not a complete solution. Readers are still
         serialized against each other. And nested writes are still prevented
         by printk_safe per-CPU buffers.
      
       - Use ttynull as the ultimate fallback for /dev/console.
      
       - Officially allow disabling console output by using console="" or
         console=null
      
       - A few code cleanups
      
      * tag 'printk-for-5.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux:
        printk: remove logbuf_lock writer-protection of ringbuffer
        printk: inline log_output(),log_store() in vprintk_store()
        printk: remove obsolete dead assignment
        printk/console: Allow to disable console output by using console="" or console=null
        init/console: Use ttynull as a fallback when there is no console
        printk: ringbuffer: Reference text_data_ring directly in callees.
