From 31555213f03bca37d2c02e10946296052f4ecfcd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Sun, 6 Nov 2011 22:22:16 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "hvc_console: display printk messages on console." This reverts commit 361162459f62dc0826b82c9690a741a940f457f0. It causes an infinite loop when booting Linux under Xen, as so: [ 2.382984] console [hvc0] enabled [ 2.382984] console [hvc0] enabled [ 2.382984] console [hvc0] enabled ... as reported by Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk. And Rusty reports the same for lguest. He goes on to say: "This is not a concurrency problem: the issue seems to be that calling register_console() twice on the same struct console is a bad idea." and Greg says he'll fix it up properly at some point later. Revert for now.
