Subject: [PATCH 18/25] console: add write_atomic interface
Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/5.2/older/patches-5.2-rt1.tar.xz
Add a write_atomic callback to the console. This is an optional
function for console drivers. The function must be atomic (including
NMI safe) for writing to the console.
Console drivers must still implement the write callback. The
write_atomic callback will only be used for emergency messages.
Creating an NMI safe write_atomic that must synchronize with write
requires a careful implementation of the console driver. To aid with
the implementation, a set of console_atomic_* functions are provided:
void console_atomic_lock(unsigned int *flags);
void console_atomic_unlock(unsigned int flags);
These functions synchronize using the processor-reentrant cpu lock of
the printk buffer.
