Merge tag 'printk-for-5.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:

 - Optionally, provide an index of possible printk messages via
   <debugfs>/printk/index/. It can be used when monitoring important
   kernel messages on a farm of various hosts. The monitor has to be
   updated when some messages has changed or are not longer available by
   a newly deployed kernel.

 - Add printk.console_no_auto_verbose boot parameter. It allows to
   generate crash dump even with slow consoles in a reasonable time
   frame.

 - Remove printk_safe buffers. The messages are always stored directly
   to the main logbuffer, even in NMI or recursive context. Also it
   allows to serialize syslog operations by a mutex instead of a spin
   lock.

 - Misc clean up and build fixes.

Disable console loglevel raise on oops, panic

With an exception to setups with low baudrate on
serial console, keeping this 0 is a good choice
in order to provide more debug information.
