Hi everyone,

I'm modifying kernel code and running into system dead-lock issues. I have 
printk statements to try to retrieve info about the freeze after I do a hard 
shutdown, but printk is asynchronous so /var/log/kern.log only shows NULL 
character gibberish instead (^@^@^@^@). Is there a way to make printk 
synchronous? I have looked at people using 
[printk_sync](https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/671535/) and 
[printk.synchronous](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26413750/how-to-avoid-printk-log-dropping-in-linux-kernel)
 variables as recently as 2017, but I don't see any reference to these anymore 
in the kernel version I have (5.4).

Thanks for the help.
