Printing to consoles can be deferred for several reasons: - explicitly with printk_deferred() - printk() in NMI context - recursive printk() calls The current implementation is not consistent. For printk_deferred(), irq work is scheduled twice. For NMI und recursive, panic CPU suppression and caller delays are not properly enforced. Correct these inconsistencies by consolidating the deferred printing code so that vprintk_deferred() is the top-level function for deferred printing and vprintk_emit() will perform whichever irq_work queueing is appropriate. Also add kerneldoc for wake_up_klogd() and defer_console_output() to clarify their differences and appropriate usage.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
