From: John Ogness <john.ogness@linutronix.de> Date: Tue, 19 Sep 2023 17:07:34 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 27/46] panic: Mark emergency section in oops 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 is 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.
