From 766c268bc6d39b8124e50d075a36b8a3305bc8e2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Ogness Date: Thu, 17 Jun 2021 11:56:50 +0206 Subject: lib/dump_stack: move cpu lock to printk.c dump_stack() implements its own cpu-reentrant spinning lock to best-effort serialize stack traces in the printk log. However, there are other functions (such as show_regs()) that can also benefit from this serialization. Move the cpu-reentrant spinning lock (cpu lock) into new helper functions printk_cpu_lock_irqsave()/printk_cpu_unlock_irqrestore() so that it is available for others as well. For !CONFIG_SMP the cpu lock is a NOP. Note that having multiple cpu locks in the system can easily lead to deadlock. Code needing a cpu lock should use the printk cpu lock, since the printk cpu lock could be acquired from any code and any context. Also note that it is not necessary for a cpu lock to disable interrupts. However, in upcoming work this cpu lock will be used for emergency tasks (for example, atomic consoles during kernel crashes) and any interruptions while holding the cpu lock should be avoided if possible.
