Merge tag 'printk-for-4.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:

 - Help userspace log daemons to catch up with a flood of messages. They
   will get woken after each message even if the console is far behind
   and handled by another process.

 - Flush printk safe buffers safely even when panic() happens in the
   normal context.

 - Fix possible va_list reuse when race happened in printk_safe().

 - Remove %pCr printf format to prevent sleeping in the atomic context.

 - Misc vsprintf code cleanup.
