commit3cffa06aeeupstream. The commit48021f9813("printk: handle blank console arguments passed in.") prevented crash caused by empty console= parameter value. Unfortunately, this value is widely used on Chromebooks to disable the console output. The above commit caused performance regression because the messages were pushed on slow console even though nobody was watching it. Use ttynull driver explicitly for console="" and console=null parameters. It has been created for exactly this purpose. It causes that preferred_console is set. As a result, ttySX and ttyX are not used as a fallback. And only ttynull console gets registered by default. It still allows to register other consoles either by additional console= parameters or SPCR. It prevents regression because it worked this way even before. Also it is a sane semantic. Preventing output on all consoles should be done another way, for example, by introducing mute_console parameter.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
