From: Xinyu Chen <xinyu.chen@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> The console feature's write routing is unsafe on SMP with the startup/shutdown call. There could be several consumers of the console * the kernel printk * the init process using /dev/kmsg to call printk to show log * shell, which open /dev/console and write with sys_write() The shell goes into the normal uart open/write routing, but the other two go into the console operations. The open routing calls imx serial startup, which will write USR1/2 register without any lock and critical with imx_console_write call. Add a spin_lock for startup/shutdown/console_write routing. This patch is a port from Freescale's Android kernel.
