[GIT PULL] printk for 5.13

Linus,

please pull the latest printk changes from

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux.git tags/printk-for-5.13

==============================

- Stop synchronizing kernel log buffer readers by logbuf_lock.
As a result, the access to the buffer is fully lockless now.

Note that printk() itself still uses locks because it tries to
flush the messages to the console immediately. Also the per-CPU
temporary buffers are still there because they prevent infinite
recursion and serialize backtraces from NMI. All this is going
to change in the future.

- kmsg_dump API rework and cleanup as a side effect of
the logbuf_lock removal.

- Make bstr_printf() aware that %pf and %pF formats could
deference the given pointer.

- Show also page flags by %pGp format.

- Clarify the documentation for plain pointer printing.

- Do not show no_hash_pointers warning multiple times.

- Update Senozhatsky email address.

- Some clean up.
