Resend the email using plain text.

I found some kernel performance regression issues that might be
related w/ 4.14.y LTS commit.

4.14.y commit: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?h=v4.14.253&id=27d185697322f9547bfd381c71252ce0bc1c0ee4

The issue is observed when "console=" is used as a kernel parameter to
disable the kernel console.

I browsed android common kernel logs and the upstream stable kernel
tree, found some related changes.

printk: handle blank console arguments passed in. (link:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?h=v5.14.15&id=3cffa06aeef7ece30f6b5ac0ea51f264e8fea4d0)
Revert "init/console: Use ttynull as a fallback when there is no
console" (link:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?h=v5.14.15&id=a91bd6223ecd46addc71ee6fcd432206d39365d2)

It looks like upstream also noticed the regression introduced by the
commit, and the workaround is to use "ttynull" to handle "console="
case. But the "ttynull" was reverted due to some other reasons
mentioned in the commit message.

Any insight or recommendation will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Yi Fan
