    printk: ipipe: add raw console channel · 4cd03bbb
    Philippe Gerum authored
    A raw output handler (.write_raw) is added to the console descriptor
    for writing (short) text output unmodified, without any logging,
    header or preparation whatsoever, usable from any pipeline domain.
    
    The dedicated raw_printk() variant formats the output message then
    passes it on to the handler holding a hard spinlock, irqs off.
    
    This is a very basic debug channel for situations when resorting to
    the fairly complex printk() handling is not an option. Unlike early
    consoles, regular consoles can provide a raw output service past the
    boot sequence. Raw output handlers are typically provided by serial
    console devices.
