[PATCH v3] printk: use atomic updates for klogd work

From: John Ogness
Date: Fri Feb 11 2022 - 06:23:43 EST


The per-cpu @printk_pending variable can be updated from
sleepable contexts, such as:

get_random_bytes()
warn_unseeded_randomness()
printk_deferred()
defer_console_output()

and can be updated from interrupt contexts, such as:

handle_irq_event_percpu()
__irq_wake_thread()
wake_up_process()
try_to_wake_up()
select_task_rq()
select_fallback_rq()
printk_deferred()
defer_console_output()

and can be updated from NMI contexts, such as:

vprintk()
if (in_nmi()) defer_console_output()

Therefore the atomic variant of the updating functions must be used.

Replace __this_cpu_xchg() with this_cpu_xchg().
Replace __this_cpu_or() with this_cpu_or().
