Updates console-make-rt-friendly.patch
#ifdef CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL, printk() output is never flushed by
printk() because:
# some liberties taken in this pseudo-code to make it easier to follow
printk()
vprintk()
raw_spin_lock(&logbuf_lock)
# increment preempt_count():
preempt_disable()
result = console_trylock_for_printk()
retval = 0
# lock will always be false, because preempt_count() will be >= 1
lock = ... && !preempt_count()
if (lock)
retval = 1
return retval
# result will always be false since lock will always be false
if (result)
console_unlock()
# this is where the printk() output would be flushed
On system boot some printk() output is flushed because register_console()
and tty_open() call console_unlock().
This change also fixes the problem that was previously fixed by
preempt-rt-allow-immediate-magic-sysrq-output-for-preempt_rt_full.patch
