Subject: [GIT PULL] printk for 5.17

Hi Linus,

please pull the latest printk changes from

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux.git tags/printk-for-5.17

============================================

- Remove some twists in the console registration code. It does not change
  the existing behavior except for one corner case. The proper default
  console (with tty binding) will be registered again even when it has
  been removed in the meantime. It is actually a bug fix. Anyway, this
  modified behavior requires some manual interaction.

- Optimize gdb extension for huge ring buffers.

- Do not use atomic operations for a local bitmap variable.

- Update git links in MAINTAINERS.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Christophe JAILLET (1):
      vsprintf: Use non-atomic bitmap API when applicable

John Ogness (1):
      scripts/gdb: lx-dmesg: read records individually

Petr Mladek (8):
      printk/console: Split out code that enables default console
      printk/console: Rename has_preferred_console to need_default_console
      printk/console: Remove unnecessary need_default_console manipulation
      printk/console: Remove need_default_console variable
      printk/console: Clean up boot console handling in register_console()
