Merge tag 'printk-for-6.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:

 - Add KUnit test for the printk ring buffer

 - Fix the check of the maximal record size which is allowed to be
   stored into the printk ring buffer. It prevents corruptions of the
   ring buffer.

   Note that printk() is on the safe side. The messages are limited by
   1kB buffer and are always small enough for the minimal log buffer
   size 4kB, see CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT definition.

README

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 reStructuredText 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.
