Thomas Gleixner 5634c90fd8 printk: nbcon: Add buffer management
In case of hostile takeovers it must be ensured that the previous
owner cannot scribble over the output buffer of the emergency/panic
context. This is achieved by:

 - Adding a global output buffer instance for the panic context.
   This is the only situation where hostile takeovers can occur and
   there is always at most 1 panic context.

 - Allocating an output buffer per non-boot console upon console
   registration. This buffer is used by the console owner when not
   in panic context. (For boot consoles, the existing shared global
   legacy output buffer is used instead. Boot console printing will
   be synchronized with legacy console printing.)

 - Choosing the appropriate buffer is handled in the acquire/release
   functions.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
