2a7f87ed05 printk: ringbuffer: relocate get_data()
Move the internal get_data() function as-is above prb_reserve() so
that a later change can make use of the static function.

e7c1fe2104 printk: ringbuffer: avoid memcpy() on state_var
@state_var is copied as part of the descriptor copying via
memcpy(). This is not allowed because @state_var is an atomic type,
which in some implementations may contain a spinlock.

Avoid using memcpy() with @state_var by explicitly copying the other
fields of the descriptor. @state_var is set using atomic set
operator before returning.

ce003d67ad printk: ringbuffer: fix setting state in desc_read()
It is expected that desc_read() will always set at least the
@state_var field. However, if the descriptor is in an inconsistent
state, no fields are set.

Also, the second load of @state_var is not stored in @desc_out and
so might not match the state value that is returned.

Always set the last loaded @state_var into @desc_out, regardless of
the descriptor consistency.

d397820f36 printk: ringbuffer: support dataless records
With commit 896fbe20b4 ("printk: use the lockless ringbuffer"),
printk() started silently dropping messages without text because such
records are not supported by the new printk ringbuffer.

Add support for such records.

Currently dataless records are denoted by INVALID_LPOS in order
to recognize failed prb_reserve() calls. Change the ringbuffer
to instead use two different identifiers (FAILED_LPOS and
NO_LPOS) to distinguish between failed prb_reserve() records and
successful dataless records, respectively.

b6cf8b3f33 printk: add lockless ringbuffer
Introduce a multi-reader multi-writer lockless ringbuffer for storing
the kernel log messages. Readers and writers may use their API from
any context (including scheduler and NMI). This ringbuffer will make
it possible to decouple printk() callers from any context, locking,
or console constraints. It also makes it possible for readers to have
full access to the ringbuffer contents at any time and context (for
example from any panic situation).

The printk_ringbuffer is made up of 3 internal ringbuffers:

desc_ring:
A ring of descriptors. A descriptor contains all record meta data
(sequence number, timestamp, loglevel, etc.) as well as internal state
information about the record and logical positions specifying where in
the other ringbuffers the text and dictionary strings are located.

text_data_ring:
A ring of data blocks. A data block consists of an unsigned long
integer (ID) that maps to a desc_ring index followed by the text
string of the record.

dict_data_ring:
A ring of data blocks. A data block consists of an unsigned long
integer (ID) that maps to a desc_ring index followed by the dictionary
string of the record.

The internal state information of a descriptor is the key element to
allow readers and writers to locklessly synchronize access to the data.
