Commit0ee5941: (x86/panic: replace smp_send_stop() with kdump friendly version in panic path) introduced crash_smp_send_stop() which is a weak function and can be overridden by architecture codes to fix the side effect caused by commitf06e515: (kernel/panic.c: add "crash_kexec_post_ notifiers" option). ARM64 architecture uses the weak version function and the problem is that the weak function simply calls smp_send_stop() which makes other CPUs offline and takes away the chance to save crash information for nonpanic CPUs in machine_crash_shutdown() when crash_kexec_post_notifiers kernel option is enabled. Calling smp_send_crash_stop() in machine_crash_shutdown() is useless because all nonpanic CPUs are already offline by smp_send_stop() in this case and smp_send_crash_stop() only works against online CPUs. The result is that secondary CPUs registers are not saved by crash_save_cpu() and the vmcore file misreports these CPUs as being offline. crash_smp_send_stop() is implemented to fix this problem by replacing the existing smp_send_crash_stop() and adding a check for multiple calling to the function. The function (strong symbol version) saves crash information for nonpanic CPUs and machine_crash_shutdown() tries to save crash information for nonpanic CPUs only when crash_kexec_post_notifiers kernel option is disabled. * crash_kexec_post_notifiers : false panic() __crash_kexec() machine_crash_shutdown() crash_smp_send_stop() <= save crash dump for nonpanic cores * crash_kexec_post_notifiers : true panic() crash_smp_send_stop() <= save crash dump for nonpanic cores __crash_kexec() machine_crash_shutdown() crash_smp_send_stop() <= just return.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
