      printk: Remove ratelimit.h from kernel.h · 3fff4c42
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      Decouple kernel.h from ratelimit.h: the global declaration of
printk's ratelimit_state is not needed, and it leads to messy
circular dependencies due to ratelimit.h's (new) adding of a
spinlock_types.h include.

      ratelimit: Fix/allow use in atomic contexts · edaac8e3
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      I'd like to use printk_ratelimit() in NMI context, but it's not
robust right now due to spinlock usage in lib/ratelimit.c. If an
NMI is unlucky enough to hit just that spot we might lock up trying
to take the spinlock again.

Fix that by using a trylock variant. If we contend on that lock we
can genuinely skip the message because the state is just being
accessed by another CPU (or by this CPU).

( We could use atomics for the suppressed messages field, but
  i doubt it matters in practice and it makes the code heavier. )

      ratelimit: Use per ratelimit context locking · 979f693d
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      I'd like to use printk_ratelimit() in atomic context, but that's
not possible right now due to the spinlock usage this commit
introduced more than a year ago:

  717115e1: printk ratelimiting rewrite

As a first step push the lock into the ratelimit state structure.
This allows us to deal with locking failures to be considered as an
event related to that state being too busy.

Also clean up the code a bit (without changing functionality):

 - tidy up the definitions

 - clean up the code flow

This also shrinks the code a tiny bit:

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
    264	      0	      4	    268	    10c	ratelimit.o.before
    255	      0	      0	    255	     ff	ratelimit.o.after

( Whole-kernel data size got a bit larger, because we have
  two ratelimit-state data structures right now. )
