Merge branch 'anton-kgdb' (kgdb dmesg fixups)
Merge emailed kgdb dmesg fixups patches from Anton Vorontsov: "The dmesg command appears to be broken after the printk rework. The old logic in the kdb code makes no sense in terms of current printk/logging storage format, and KDB simply hangs forever upon entering 'dmesg' command. The first patch revives the command by switching to kmsg_dumper iterator. As a side-effect, the code is now much more simpler. A few changes were needed in the printk.c: we needed unlocked variant of the kmsg_dumper iterator, but these can surely wait for 3.6. It's probably too late even for the first patch to go to 3.5, but I'll try to convince otherwise. :-) Here we go: - The current code is broken for sure, and has no hope to work at all. It is a regression - The new code works for me, and probably works for everyone else; - If it compiles (and I urge everyone to compile-test it on your setup), it hardly can make things worse." * Merge emailed patches from Anton Vorontsov: (4 commits) kdb: Switch to nolock variants of kmsg_dump functions printk: Implement some unlocked kmsg_dump functions printk: Remove kdb_syslog_data kdb: Revive dmesg command
