    Merge tag 'printk-for-5.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux · ca1f5df2
    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
    
     - Benjamin Herrenschmidt solved a problem with non-matched console
       aliases by first checking consoles defined on the command line. It is
       a more conservative approach than the previous attempts.
    
     - Benjamin also made sure that the console accessible via /dev/console
       always has CON_CONSDEV flag.
    
     - Andy Shevchenko added the %ptT modifier for printing struct time64_t.
       It extends the existing %ptR handling for struct rtc_time.
    
     - Bruno Meneguele fixed /dev/kmsg error value returned by unsupported
       SEEK_CUR.
    
     - Tetsuo Handa removed unused pr_cont_once().
    
    ... and a few small fixes.
