Dictionaries are only used for SUBSYSTEM and DEVICE properties. The
current implementation stores the property names each time they are
used. This requires more space than otherwise necessary. Also,
because the dictionary entries are currently considered optional,
it cannot be relied upon that they are always available, even if the
writer wanted to store them. These issues will increase should new
dictionary properties be introduced.
Rather than storing the subsystem and device properties in the
dict ring, introduce a struct dev_printk_info with separate fields
to store only the property values. Embed this struct within the
struct printk_info to provide guaranteed availability.

Add support for extending the newest data block. For this, introduce
a new finalization state (desc_finalized) denoting a committed
descriptor that cannot be extended.
Until a record is finalized, a writer can reopen that record to
append new data. Reopening a record means transitioning from the
desc_committed state back to the desc_reserved state.
A writer can explicitly finalize a record if there is no intention
of extending it. Also, records are automatically finalized when a
new record is reserved. This relieves writers of needing to
explicitly finalize while also making such records available to
readers sooner. (Readers can only traverse finalized records.)
Four new memory barrier pairs are introduced. Two of them are
insignificant additions (data_realloc:A/desc_read:D and
data_realloc:A/data_push_tail:B) because they are alternate path
memory barriers that exactly match the purpose, pairing, and
context of the two existing memory barrier pairs they provide an
alternate path for. The other two new memory barrier pairs are
significant additions:
desc_reopen_last:A / _prb_commit:B - When reopening a descriptor,
ensure the state transitions back to desc_reserved before
fully trusting the descriptor data.
_prb_commit:B / desc_reserve:D - When committing a descriptor,
ensure the state transitions to desc_committed before checking
the head ID to see if the descriptor needs to be finalized.

Rather than deriving the state by evaluating bits within the flags
area of the state variable, assign the states explicit values and
set those values in the flags area. Introduce macros to make it
simple to read and write state values for the state variable.
Although the functionality is preserved, the binary representation
for the states is changed.

With the introduction of the lockless printk ringbuffer, the data
structure for the kernel log buffer was changed. Update the gdb
scripts to be able to parse/print the new log buffer structure.

When CONFIG_PRINTK_CALLER is set, struct printk_log contains an
additional member caller_id. This affects the offset of the log text.
Account for this by using the type information from gdb to determine all
the offsets instead of using hardcoded values.
This fixes following error:
(gdb) lx-dmesg
Python Exception <class 'ValueError'> embedded null character:
Error occurred in Python command: embedded null character
The read_u* utility functions now take an offset argument to make them
easier to use.
