From: John Ogness Date: Tue, 19 Sep 2023 17:07:34 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 34/50] panic: Mark emergency section in oops Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.7/older/patches-6.7-rt6.tar.xz Mark an emergency section beginning with oops_enter() until the end of oops_exit(). In this section, the CPU will not perform console output for the printk() calls. Instead, a flushing of the console output will triggered when exiting the emergency section. The very end of oops_exit() performs a kmsg_dump(). This is not included in the emergency section because it is another flushing mechanism that should occur after the consoles have been triggered to flush.
