From 65000a220ab41d3a7e96a605fef81d386eeca712 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: Use a new message buffer `consmsgbuf' to forward messages to a
 TIOCCONS console (e.g. xconsole) via a timeout routine instead of calling
 into the tty code directly from printf(). This fixes a number of cases where
 calling printf() at the wrong time (such as with locks held) would cause a
 panic if xconsole is running.

The TIOCCONS message buffer is 8k in size by default, but this can
be changed with the kern.consmsgbuf_size sysctl. By default, messages
are checked for 5 times per second. The timer runs and the buffer
memory remains allocated only at times when a TIOCCONS console is
active.
