Updates console-make-rt-friendly.patch #ifdef CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL, printk() output is never flushed by printk() because: # some liberties taken in this pseudo-code to make it easier to follow printk() vprintk() raw_spin_lock(&logbuf_lock) # increment preempt_count(): preempt_disable() result = console_trylock_for_printk() retval = 0 # lock will always be false, because preempt_count() will be >= 1 lock = ... && !preempt_count() if (lock) retval = 1 return retval # result will always be false since lock will always be false if (result) console_unlock() # this is where the printk() output would be flushed On system boot some printk() output is flushed because register_console() and tty_open() call console_unlock().
