preempt-rt: allow immediate Magic SysRq output for PREEMPT_RT_FULL
Subsystems (6)
PATCH v2 1/1 preempt-rt: allow immediate Magic SysRq output for PREEMPT_RT_FULL
Change from V1 to V2: add drivers/tty/serial/8250.c
Add a CONFIG option to allow the output from Magic SysRq to be output immediately, even if this causes large latencies.
If PREEMPT_RT_FULL, printk() will not try to acquire the console lock when interrupts or preemption are disabled. If the console lock is not acquired the printk() output will be buffered, but will not be output immediately. Some drivers call into the Magic SysRq code with interrupts or preemption disabled, so the output of Magic SysRq will be buffered instead of printing immediately if this option is not selected.
Even with this option selected, Magic SysRq output will be delayed if the attempt to acquire the console lock fails.

Is it time to create a helper function for this chunk of code that appears in almost identical form in a dozen drivers?

Thanks for pointing that out. The "if (up->port.sysrq)" in this pattern already handles the case that I was trying to deal with in all of those drivers, except cpm_uart_core.c, so I was able to remove all the other drivers from V3 of the patch.
