We sometimes overlook logs written to printk safe buffers (safe_print_seq/nmi_print_seq) which have not been flushed yet.
This patch will output unflushed logs of the safe buffers at the bottom of log command output as follows: [nmi_print_seq] CPU: 0 BUFFER: ffff888063c18ac0 LEN: 28 nmi print seq test message [safe_print_seq] CPU: 1 BUFFER: ffff888063d19ae0 LEN: 30 safe print seq test message Note that the safe buffer (struct printk_safe_seq_buf) was introduced in kernel-4.11 and removed in kernel-5.15.
