Subject: [RFC PATCH 09/11] printk: merge and flush NMI buffer predictably via IRQ work
It might take ages until users see messages from NMI context. They cannot
be flushed to the console because the operation involves taking and releasing
a bunch of locks. If the main lock is not available then then messages are even
temporary put into the NMI log buf. Everything gets fixed by the followup printk
in normal context but it is not predictable.
The same problem has printk_sched() and this patch reuses the existing solution.
There is no special printk() variant for NMI context. Hence the IRQ work
need to get queued from vprintk_emit(). This is why the functions are
moved to the top of the source file and irq_work_queue() call is removed
from printk_sched().
In addition, wake_up_klogd_work_func() is extended to merge the NMI log buffer
when needed.
Oops messages are still merged and flushed immediately. We need to make sure
that they are visible before the system dies.
