Subject: [PATCH printk v2 07/18] printk: nbcon: Add printer thread wakeups
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>
Add a function to wakeup the printer threads. The printer threads
are woken when:
- a record is added to the printk ringbuffer
- consoles are resumed
- triggered via printk_trigger_flush()
- consoles should be replayed via sysrq
The actual waking is performed via irq_work so that the function
can be called from any context.
