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

<title>printk: remove logbuf_lock writer-protection of ringbuffer</title>

<id>b031a684bfd01d633c79d281bd0cf11c2f834ada</id>
<content type='text'>
Since the ringbuffer is lockless, there is no need for it to be
protected by @logbuf_lock. Remove @logbuf_lock writer-protection of
the ringbuffer. The reader-protection is not removed because some
variables, used by readers, are using @logbuf_lock for synchronization:
@syslog_seq, @syslog_time, @syslog_partial, @console_seq,
struct kmsg_dumper.

For PRINTK_NMI_DIRECT_CONTEXT_MASK, @logbuf_lock usage is not removed
because it may be used for dumper synchronization.

Without @logbuf_lock synchronization of vprintk_store() it is no
longer possible to use the single static buffer for temporarily
sprint'ing the message. Instead, use vsnprintf() to determine the
length and perform the real vscnprintf() using the area reserved from
the ringbuffer. This leads to suboptimal packing of the message data,
but will result in less wasted storage than multiple per-cpu buffers
to support lockless temporary sprint'ing.

Commit 849f3127bb46 ("switch /dev/kmsg to -&gt;write_iter()") refactored
devkmsg_write() and left over a dead assignment on the variable 'len'.

Hence, make clang-analyzer warns:

  kernel/printk/printk.c:744:4: warning: Value stored to 'len' is never read
    [clang-analyzer-deadcode.DeadStores]
                          len -= endp - line;
                          ^

Simply remove this obsolete dead assignment here.

Any record with a trailing newline (LOG_NEWLINE flag) cannot
be continued because the newline has been stripped and will
not be visible if the message is appended. This was already
handled correctly when committing in log_output() but was
not handled correctly when committing in log_store().
