dump_stack() is called in panic(). If for some reason another CPU is holding the printk_cpu_sync and is unable to release it, the panic CPU will be unable to continue and print the stacktrace. Since non-panic CPUs are not allowed to store new printk messages anyway, there is no need to synchronize the stacktrace output in a panic situation. For the panic CPU, do not get the printk_cpu_sync because it is not needed and avoids a potential deadlock scenario in panic().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
