printk: use the lockless ringbuffer
Replace the existing ringbuffer usage and implementation with
lockless ringbuffer usage. Even though the new ringbuffer does not
require locking, all existing locking is left in place. Therefore,
this change is purely replacing the underlining ringbuffer.
Changes that exist due to the ringbuffer replacement:
- The VMCOREINFO has been updated for the new structures.
- Dictionary data is now stored in a separate data buffer from the
human-readable messages. The dictionary data buffer is set to the
same size as the message buffer. Therefore, the total required
memory for both dictionary and message data is
2 * (2 ^ CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT) for the initial static buffers and
2 * log_buf_len (the kernel parameter) for the dynamic buffers.
- Record meta-data is now stored in a separate array of descriptors.
This is an additional 72 * (2 ^ (CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT - 5)) bytes
for the static array and 72 * (log_buf_len >> 5) bytes for the
dynamic array.
