From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Mon, 11 Sep 2023 15:21:57 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 32/50] printk: nbcon: Implement emergency sections Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.7/older/patches-6.7-rt6.tar.xz In emergency situations (something has gone wrong but the system continues to operate), usually important information (such as a backtrace) is generated via printk(). Each individual printk record has little meaning. It is the collection of printk messages that is most often needed by developers and users. In order to help ensure that the collection of printk messages in an emergency situation are all stored to the ringbuffer as quickly as possible, disable console output for that CPU while it is in the emergency situation. When exiting the emergency situation, trigger the consoles to be flushed. Add per-CPU emergency nesting tracking because an emergency can arise while in an emergency situation. Add functions to mark the beginning and end of emergency sections where the urgent messages are generated. Do not print if the current CPU is in an emergency state. Trigger console flushing when exiting all emergency nesting. Note that the emergency state is not system-wide. While one CPU is in an emergency state, another CPU may continue to print console messages.
