However, this behavior can also be interesting for other +preemption models as it minimizes the duration of printk() calls by +deferring all printing. + +Provide a new boot argument "threadprintk" that will create the +dedicated kthread for legacy console printing for !PREEMPT_RT +systems. + +The implementation is the same as "threadirqs" boot argument. + +Users should be aware that if this option is enabled, the shutdown, +reboot, and panic messages probably will not be visible on the +legacy consoles. + +Non-legacy consoles (NBCON) already have their own dedicated kernel +threads for printing and reliable shutdown, reboot, and panic +printing. This option really only applies to legacy consoles. + +Users can view /proc/consoles to see if their console driver is +legacy or not. NBCON console drivers are shown with 'N'. + +Signed-off-by: John Ogness <john.ogness@linutronix.de> +Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de> +--- + Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt | 12 ++++++++++++ + kernel/printk/internal.h | 4 +++- + kernel/printk/printk.c | 11 +++++++++++ + 3 files changed, 26 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) + +--- a/Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt ++++ b/Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt +@@ -6552,6 +6552,18 @@ + Force threading of all interrupt handlers except those + marked explicitly IRQF_NO_THREAD. + ++ threadprintk [KNL] ++ Force threaded printing of all legacy consoles.
