Linus Torvalds 9c35baf6ce Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk
Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:

 - There is a situation when early console is not deregistered because
   the preferred one matches a wrong entry. It caused messages to appear
   twice.

   This is the 2nd attempt to fix it. The first one was wrong, see the
   commit c6c7d83b9c ('Revert "console: don't prefer first registered
   if DT specifies stdout-path"').

   The fix is coupled with some small code clean up. Well, the console
   registration code would deserve a big one. We need to think about it.

 - Do not lose information about the preemtive context when the console
   semaphore is re-taken.

 - Do not block CPU hotplug when someone else is already pushing
   messages to the console.

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk:
  printk: fix double printing with earlycon
  printk: rename selected_console -> preferred_console
  printk: fix name/type/scope of preferred_console var
  printk: Correctly handle preemption in console_unlock()
  printk: use console_trylock() in console_cpu_notify()

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
