Merge tag 'printk-for-5.11-printk-rework-fixup' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux

Pull printk fixes from Petr Mladek:

 - Fix line counting and buffer size calculation. Both regressions
   caused that a reader buffer might not get filled as much as possible.

 - Restore non-documented behavior of printk() reader API and make it
   official.

   It did not fill the last byte of the provided buffer before 5.10. Two
   architectures, powerpc and um, used it to add the trailing '\0'.
   There might theoretically be more callers depending on this behavior
   in userspace.

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.
