Merge tag 'printk-for-5.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:

 - Stop synchronizing kernel log buffer readers by logbuf_lock. As a
   result, the access to the buffer is fully lockless now.

   Note that printk() itself still uses locks because it tries to flush
   the messages to the console immediately. Also the per-CPU temporary
   buffers are still there because they prevent infinite recursion and
   serialize backtraces from NMI. All this is going to change in the
   future.

 - kmsg_dump API rework and cleanup as a side effect of the logbuf_lock
   removal.

 - Make bstr_printf() aware that %pf and %pF formats could deference the
   given pointer.

 - Show also page flags by %pGp format.

 - Clarify the documentation for plain pointer printing.

 - Do not show no_hash_pointers warning multiple times.

 - Update Senozhatsky email address.

 - Some clean up.
