*Serialize printk() calls*

Type: ``bool``

Help
====

.. code-block:: none

    When true, a spinlock will be taken around the output from a
    single printk() call, preventing the output data from
    interleaving with concurrent usage from another CPU or an
    preempting interrupt.

Default
=======

- y if \ :kconfig:`SMP <CONFIG_SMP>` && \ :kconfig:`MP_NUM_CPUS <CONFIG_MP_NUM_CPUS>` > 1
