Subject[PATCH printk v1 08/10] printk: introduce kernel sync mode
Date
Introduce "sync mode", which means that all printk calls will
synchronously write to the console. Once activated, this mode is
never deactivated. It is used when the kernel is about to end
(such as panic, oops, shutdown, reboot).

Sync mode can only be activated if atomic consoles are available.

In sync mode:

- only atomic consoles (write_atomic() callback) will print
- printing occurs within vprintk_store() instead of console_unlock()

CONSOLE_LOG_MAX is moved to printk.h to support the per-console
buffer used in sync mode.
