Merge tag 'printk-for-6.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux
Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek: - Prevent possible deadlocks, caused by the lock serializing per-CPU backtraces, by entering the deferred printk context - Enforce the right casting in LOG_BUF_LEN_MAX definition * tag 'printk-for-6.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux: printk: Defer legacy printing when holding printk_cpu_sync printk: Remove redundant deferred check in vprintk() printk: Fix signed integer overflow when defining LOG_BUF_LEN_MAX
