Merge tag 'printk-for-4.20' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk
Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:

 - Fix two more locations where printf formatting leaked pointers

 - Better log_buf_len parameter handling

 - Add prefix to messages from printk code

 - Do not miss messages on other consoles when the log is replayed on a
   new one

 - Reduce race between console registration and panic() when the log
   might get replayed on all consoles

 - Some cont buffer code clean up

 - Call console only when there is something to do (log vs cont buffer)

* tag 'printk-for-4.20' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk:

  lib/vsprintf: Make ptr argument conts in ptr_to_id()
  printk: fix integer overflow in setup_log_buf()
  printk: do not preliminary split up cont buffer
  printk: lock/unlock console only for new logbuf entries
