Merge tag 'printk-for-5.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:

 - New "no_hash_pointers" kernel parameter causes that %p shows raw
   pointer values instead of hashed ones. It is intended only for
   debugging purposes. Misuse is prevented by a fat warning message that
   is inspired by trace_printk().

 - Prevent a possible deadlock when flushing printk_safe buffers during
   panic().

 - Fix performance regression caused by the lockless printk ringbuffer.
   It was visible with huge log buffer and long messages.

 - Documentation fix-up.

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.
