Merge tag 'printk-for-6.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux

torvalds · torvalds · commit 96050814a3f6 · 2025-03-27T19:22:24.000-07:00
Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:

 - New option "printk.debug_non_panic_cpus" allows to store printk
   messages from non-panic CPUs during panic. It might be useful when
   panic() fails. It is disabled by default because it increases the
   chance to see the messages printed before panic() and on the
   panic-CPU.

 - New build option "CONFIG_NULL_TTY_DEFAULT_CONSOLE" allows to build
   kernel without the virtual terminal support which prefers ttynull
   over serial console.

 - Do not unblank suspended consoles.

 - Some code clean up.

* tag 'printk-for-6.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux:
  printk/panic: Add option to allow non-panic CPUs to write to the ring buffer.
  printk: Add an option to allow ttynull to be a default console device
  printk: Check CON_SUSPEND when unblanking a console
  printk: Rename console_start to console_resume
  printk: Rename console_stop to console_suspend
  printk: Rename resume_console to console_resume_all
  printk: Rename suspend_console to console_suspend_all

 You will need to create a new device to use ``/dev/console``. The official
 ``/dev/console`` is now character device 5,1.
