Subject: docs: vmcoreinfo: add lockless printk ringbuffer vmcoreinfo

With the introduction of the lockless printk ringbuffer, the
VMCOREINFO relating to the kernel log buffer was changed. Update the
documentation to match those changes.

Subject: printk: ringbuffer: change representation of states

Rather than deriving the state by evaluating bits within the flags
area of the state variable, assign the states explicit values and
set those values in the flags area. Introduce macros to make it
simple to read and write state values for the state variable.

Although the functionality is preserved, the binary representation
for the states is changed.

Subject: printk: ringbuffer: add finalization/extension support

Add support for extending the newest data block. For this, introduce
a new finalization state (desc_finalized) denoting a committed
descriptor that cannot be extended.

Until a record is finalized, a writer can reopen that record to
append new data. Reopening a record means transitioning from the
desc_committed state back to the desc_reserved state.

A writer can explicitly finalize a record if there is no intention
of extending it. Also, records are automatically finalized when a
new record is reserved. This relieves writers of needing to
explicitly finalize while also making such records available to
readers sooner. (Readers can only traverse finalized records.)

Four new memory barrier pairs are introduced. Two of them are
insignificant additions (data_realloc:A/desc_read:D and
data_realloc:A/data_push_tail:B) because they are alternate path
memory barriers that exactly match the purpose, pairing, and
context of the two existing memory barrier pairs they provide an
alternate path for. The other two new memory barrier pairs are
significant additions:

desc_reopen_last:A / _prb_commit:B - When reopening a descriptor,
    ensure the state transitions back to desc_reserved before
    fully trusting the descriptor data.

_prb_commit:B / desc_reserve:D - When committing a descriptor,
    ensure the state transitions to desc_committed before checking
    the head ID to see if the descriptor needs to be finalized.

+ * The writer specifies the text size to extend (not the new total size) by

+ *     to append the text.
+ *
+ *   - prb_record_text_space() can be used on @e to query the new
+ *     actually used space.
+ *
+ * Important: All @r->info fields will already be set with the current values

From 74caba7f2a0685575b3ee5330a118f5922485e02 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: John Ogness
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2020 13:24:45 +0206
Subject: printk: move dictionary keys to dev_printk_info

Dictionaries are only used for SUBSYSTEM and DEVICE properties. The
current implementation stores the property names each time they are
used. This requires more space than otherwise necessary. Also,
because the dictionary entries are currently considered optional,
it cannot be relied upon that they are always available, even if the
writer wanted to store them. These issues will increase should new
dictionary properties be introduced.

Rather than storing the subsystem and device properties in the
dict ring, introduce a struct dev_printk_info with separate fields
to store only the property values. Embed this struct within the
struct printk_info to provide guaranteed availability.
