John Ogness 51a1d258e5 printk: Keep non-panic-CPUs out of console lock
When in a panic situation, non-panic CPUs should avoid holding the
console lock so as not to contend with the panic CPU. This is already
implemented with abandon_console_lock_in_panic(), which is checked
after each printed line. However, non-panic CPUs should also avoid
trying to acquire the console lock during a panic.

Modify console_trylock() to fail and console_lock() to block() when
called from a non-panic CPU during a panic.

README

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.
