Merge tag 'printk-for-5.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk
Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
- Fix off-by-one error when calculating messages that might fit into
kmsg buffer. It causes occasional omitting of the last message.
- Add missing pointer check in %pD format modifier handling.
- Some clean up
* tag 'printk-for-5.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk:
ABI: Update dev-kmsg documentation to match current kernel behaviour
printk: Replace strncmp() with str_has_prefix()
lib/test_printf: Remove obvious comments from %pd and %pD tests
lib/test_printf: Add test of null/invalid pointer dereference for dentry
vsprintf: Prevent crash when dereferencing invalid pointers for %pD
printk: Do not lose last line in kmsg buffer dump
