Hi, So the design is not quite the same here. Instead of using the ad hoc printk_tick() in periodic mode and irq_work on nohz mode, printk is now always using irq_work.
In turn, irq_work subsystem is able to let enqueuers choose between IPI or lazy tick hook to execute works, and that in order to avoid IPI storm when we have lots of enqueuing of non-urgent works like klogd wakeup in short period of time so this keeps the old printk_tick behaviour. It also teaches irq_work to handle nohz mode. Warning: only compile tested in x86 for now.
