The write() callback of legacy consoles usually makes use of spinlocks. This is not permitted with PREEMPT_RT in atomic contexts. For PREEMPT_RT, create a new kthread to handle printing of all the legacy consoles (and nbcon consoles if boot consoles are registered). This allows legacy consoles to work on PREEMPT_RT without requiring modification. (However they will not have the reliability properties guaranteed by nbcon atomic consoles.) Use the existing printk_kthreads_check_locked() to start/stop the legacy kthread as needed. Introduce the macro force_legacy_kthread() to query if the forced threading of legacy consoles is in effect. Although currently only enabled for PREEMPT_RT, this acts as a simple mechanism for the future to allow other preemption models to easily take advantage of the non-interference property provided by the legacy kthread. When force_legacy_kthread() is true, the legacy kthread fulfills the role of the console_flush_type @legacy_offload by waking the legacy kthread instead of printing via the console_lock in the irq_work. If the legacy kthread is not yet available, no legacy printing takes place (unless in panic). If for some reason the legacy kthread fails to create, any legacy consoles are unregistered. With force_legacy_kthread(), the legacy kthread is a critical component for legacy consoles. These changes only affect CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT.

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.
