Subject: [PATCH 14/50] panic: Flush kernel log buffer at the end
Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.7/older/patches-6.7-rt6.tar.xz
If the kernel crashes in a context where printk() calls always
defer printing (such as in NMI or inside a printk_safe section)
then the final panic messages will be deferred to irq_work. But
if irq_work is not available, the messages will not get printed
unless explicitly flushed. The result is that the final
"end Kernel panic" banner does not get printed.
Add one final flush after the last printk() call to make sure
the final panic messages make it out as well.
