Sergey, thanks for looking into this already!

> John, do you see any of these problems on your test machine?

For x86 I have only been using qemu. (For hardware tests I use arm64-smp
in order to verify memory barriers.) With qemu-x86_64 I am unable to
reproduce the problem.

Lianbo, thanks for the report. Can you share your boot args? Anything
special in there (like log_buf_len=, earlyprintk, etc)?

Also, could you share your CONFIG_LOG_* and CONFIG_PRINTK_* options?

I will move to bare metal x86_64 and hopefully see it as well.

John
