Since the printk cpulock is CPU-reentrant and since it is used
in all contexts, its usage must be carefully considered and
most likely will require programming locklessly. To avoid
mistaking the printk cpulock as a typical lock, rename it to
cpu_sync. The main functions then become:
printk_cpu_sync_get_irqsave(flags);
printk_cpu_sync_put_irqrestore(flags);
Add extra notes of caution in the function description to help
developers understand the requirements for correct usage.

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.
